Marry A Sweetheart And Get Another Free: President, Please Sign This! Chapter 4084 -: give birth to a younger sister

He Jinsi's eyebrows lifted slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

Teng Siqing, however, maintained an air of indifference, shrugging her shoulders. "What's there to be excited about? It's hardly my first Oscar nomination. But as a Chinese, winning an award is incredibly difficult. I suppose I'll just be a supporting player this time around."

Since her return to the screen, she had been nominated for Best Actress three times yet had not clinched a single trophy.

The public often remarked that she was merely one award away from achieving a grand slam, a feat that would cement her status as a legendary figure in global cinema. Annually, as the award ceremony approached, countless media outlets would buzz with speculation about her potential victory.

Yet, no matter how fervent the anticipation of her fans, Teng Siqing remained remarkably composed. The major European film festivals, she mused, placed a greater emphasis on a film's artistic merit. Their judging processes were highly professional, focusing almost exclusively on the film's intrinsic qualities, thereby ensuring a degree of fairness.

The Oscars, on the other hand, tended to weigh a film's commercial appeal more heavily and were susceptible to external political influences.

Behind the scenes of the evaluation committee, numerous Western magnates wielded significant influence, their power extending far into the decision-making process.

This dynamic presented a considerable disadvantage for a Chinese actress, placing Teng Siqing in a position beyond her direct control.

She had long since moved past the stage of striving for absolute perfection in every endeavor; those desires had faded with time.

Whether she attained a grand slam or not did not diminish her standing as an accomplished actress, nor did it impact her current status and value within the industry. Therefore, it was of little consequence.

He Jinsi pursed his lips. "But I believe this time is different. I have a feeling you'll win."

"What's this? Have you taken up fortune-telling?" Teng Siqing paused. "Or perhaps... is Third Young Master He planning to shower me with money to buy the award?" She chuckled. "There's really no need. Just tell me how much you intend to spend, and you can transfer it directly."

"Haven't I already given you all my bank cards?" He Jinsi countered with a half-smile, his gaze meeting hers. "I'm someone who needs to ask permission from his girlfriend just to buy a bottle of wine. Where would I find the immense wealth to bribe the entire evaluation committee?"

"It's good that you know your place!" Teng Siqing declared, tilting her chin upwards, her delicate features radiating pride.

He Jinsi found himself captivated by the spark in her eyes, his own gaze darkening with unspoken desire.

In the next moment, his arms encircled Teng Siqing's slender waist, drawing her onto the sofa.

The atmosphere in the living room grew noticeably warmer.

"Mom! Mom! Where are you? Tang Tang just called and asked if we're going to Country M for the awards ceremony. Are we going... eh?" The cheerful voice of their young son echoed from the direction of the stairs.

The couple on the sofa froze instantly.

Teng Siqing was the first to recover, kicking out a leg in an attempt to dislodge the man from her body.

He Jinsi, struck squarely in the face by her kick, let out a groan. Nevertheless, he managed to regain his composure and turned to face his son.

However, before he could utter a word, Teng Qingze, with practiced ease, covered his own eyes with his small hands. He then turned away, exclaiming, "I didn't see anything! Mom and Dad, please continue making a little sister for me!"

He paused for a breath, then couldn't help but murmur, "Daddy is so useless. Why don't I have a sister yet, even with all his efforts? Brother Shaoxuan already has a sister!" Both He Jinsi and Teng Siqing were left speechless.

Indeed, Bo Tingyuan, who had vociferously demanded a divorce for several years, had now welcomed a second child, a baby girl, before them.

He no longer spoke of divorce; he now embraced a beautiful wife and cherished his children, truly a man who had conquered life's challenges!
