The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them

157 We Can Hold on Until We See The Sunrise

The purpose of the live broadcast had been achieved.

[No more?]

[State your price. How much is it? I can afford it.]

[Another day in the life of those of us who are single when life hits hard.]

!!

[My 50-year-old mother just called me and said that she arranged a blind date for me on Sunday. The other person is 10 years older than me!]

[Hahahaha! Is it because of Li Yanchen? Does Auntie watch the live broadcast too?]

[I’m dying of laughter!]

…

The staff members also watched the Li family live stream with complicated emotions in their heart.

“I’m going to call my wife and tell her that I miss her.”

“I’ll call my fiancée and tell her that I’ll fly to Jiangzhou to see her after this episode.”

“I just sent a message to my wife and told her that I love her. I have been with the Festival Group all these years and am busy with work. She has been taking care of my children all this while.”

…

The livestream room of the Li family seemed to be joyful, but most of the backstage staff were teary-eyed.

“Do you have time for a chat?” the Assistant Director put his arm around the Director’s shoulder.

“Let’s go to the balcony,” the Director said as he took a bottle of mineral water with him.

The Assistant Director wiped his tears. “I’ve already experienced divorce in my middle age and I didn’t want anything to do with love. Now I want to get my ex-wife back. Let’s make a deal. After this episode, you’ll give me a month off.”

The Director patted the Assistant Director’s shoulder. “No problem. My wife is also quite angry with me. In our line of work, we spend most of our time outside and only get to stay at home a few days a year. I’m indeed ashamed of not giving her enough of my time.”

“I feel that we did the right thing with this variety show. A show that can give everyone positive energy is a good show.”

“I was really scared of the criticism during the first episode. I was even afraid that the headquarters would ban our live broadcast. I didn’t expect that there would be such a huge shift at the very beginning of this episode.”

…

The two directors chatted with each other. At the same time, Lin Wan and Li Yanchen appeared on the hot search.

[The love of a middle-aged man.]

[I really hated Lin Wan in the first episode. Now that I’ve accepted Lin Wan, why do I feel like I’m the one being coaxed?]

[Li Yanchen has shown us that love has nothing to do with age. As long as you put in the effort to manage it, even old men will be able to blossom.]

[Textbook love. Don’t give your ex any hope and don’t let your wife misunderstand you.]

[Ever since he got together with Lin Wan, Li Yanchen had always been very amiable in front of the camera. He loves Lin Wan and would never hide anything from her.]

[I want to say something for Xuanxuan. He took his brother to watch the moon. He is so understanding. He took his brother away deliberately to give some privacy to his father and his stepmother.]

[Does anyone think that everyone in the Li family dotes on Lin Wan in their own way?]

[I realized a long time ago that they really are on Lin Wan’s side.]

Ji Hanzhi’s other account was blocked on the livestreaming room, so she expressed a different opinion on Weibo.

[The flashy kind of love that everyone shows off in the public dies off pretty quickly.]

In less than a minute, her comment was criticized, and she was scolded.

After taking a shower, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were building blocks in the room when they saw their mother’s sullen face.

“Mama, what’s wrong?” Tuan Tuan placed a kiss on Ji Hanzhi’s cheek.

Ji Hanzhi squeezed out a smile. “Mama is just focused on some thoughts. Can you two girls play by yourself for a while? She said gently.

“Sure, Mama,” said Yuan Yuan and returned to her room with the building blocks.

Ji Hanzhi’s eyes filled with tears.

…

In the suite, Li Yanchen locked the door and the windows. He pulled the jade-colored curtains close one by one.

The black table lamp on the nightstand gave off a warm yellow light.

“Did you request the Director for an extra camera so that Ji Hanzhi could see us?” asked Lin wan as she wrapped her arm around his neck.

“Yes. The angle of the camera is good. Just a glimpse and everything is up to the viewers’ imagination. Anyone with a brain would know what we’re doing.” He smiled. “But enough of that for now. Time is short.”

Li Zexuan was afraid of being recognized by others again, so he took his brother to a corner and sat down. They didn’t go back until about nine at night.

Once they reached their suite, Li Zekai wanted to find Li Yanchen again. But Li Zexuan stopped him. “Let’s go look for Li Zexin first. He still isn’t back.”

In Xiao Yi’s bedroom, Li Zexin sat in front of the computer. His eyes were wide open. ‘This is really amazing! Why didn’t I think of it before?’

“Hello, Uncle and Auntie.” Li Zekai greeted Xia Mo and Xiao Tianlin, who were in the living room. They walked to Xiao Yi’s room.

Seeing Li Zekai push open the door, Li Zexin made a shushing gesture toward him.

Li Zekai, who was about to call out to his brother, shut his mouth immediately. He stood beside the computer.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yi finally took off his headphones.

“Amazing!” Li Zexuan praised.

“Brother, can you play? If you don’t know how to play, how do you know if it’s good or not?” Li Zexin said as he rubbed his eyes.

“I have heard you exclaim and mumble a thousand times till now,” said Li Zexuan. “It’s almost ten, can we go back to our room now?”

“I am going to sleep here with Xiao Yi. It’s too crowded with the three of us. You all can go back,” said Li Zexin. He was afraid his brother would drag him away, so he hung onto the back of the chair for dear life.

...

Li Zexuan was speechless.

“Xiao Yi had agreed! Ask him if you don’t believe me!”

Xiao Yi sighed. “Yeah. He can stay here,” he said after a long pause.

“Alright, let’s go back.” Li Zexuan held his little brother’s hand and went back to their suite.

At ten at night, Li Yanchen opened the door to the bedroom again. He took a book with him and sat on the sofa in their living room.

“Daddy!” said Li Zekai. “You didn’t go to sleep?”

“I was waiting for you guys. Hurry. Go and wash up. Then off to bed!”

Lin Wan also pretended that nothing out of the ordinary had happened. He held a cup of tea in her hands.

“Auntie, you’re not sleeping either?”

“I watched the moon for a while. We were waiting for you to come back. It’s great to see you back safe,” she lied.

“I take good care of my brothers. What could even happen? We were just on the balcony anyway. We did say we would be back, didn’t we?” said Li Zexuan. “Mr. Li. Ms. Lin. You two can go in and rest. You will go bald if you stay late.”

...

Li Zexuan had taken his brother away deliberately so that his father and Ms. Lin could have some privacy. Why were they worried about them instead?

“Jiejie,” said Li Zexuan. “You go shower first. Goodnight, Mr. Li, Ms. Lin.”

He pulled his brother into their big room and pushed the door closed.

[They are out!]

[Two hours!]

[So long!]

…

While the discussion was still going on in the comments, Lin Wan pressed the “End” button.

After a while, she and Li Yanchen returned to their bedroom.

As the two of them talked for a while, Lin Wan accidentally mentioned something about staying up late. Li Yanchen couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Wanwan, do I lack hair?”

“What?”

“Don’t you lose hair if you stay up late? I’ve been suffering for a month, and I feel like my hairline is getting thinner.”

“You don’t have to work so hard.” Lin Wan laughed.

“It’s okay to stay up for another night, right? A certain someone mentioned that I am such a dog at night that I can’t see the morning sun.”

“God, Xia Mo with her big mouth! She told you? I just said it to anger Ji Hanzhi.”

“We can hold on until we see the sunrise,” Li Yanchen said as he raised an eyebrow.

“Now you are even talking like Xia Mo,” chuckled Lin Wan. “The kids are sleeping next door.”

“The wall is solid. Don’t worry. You can watch the moon at night and the sun in the morning.”

“Okay.”

Lin Wan y picked up the blanket and wrapped it around her body. “Look, the stars are out. Let’s count the stars!”

“There are always two stars in front of me. Always looking at me. Your eyes.”

“You are old-fashioned and equally vulgar.”
