209 As A Couple, They Might Be Unpopular, but They Arenât Evil
Xiao Tianlin pressed down on LI Yanchenâs shoulder and was talking to him, but Li Yanchenâs mind was with Lin Wan. He turned to look at her from time to time.
Lin Wan and Xia Mo were talking and laughing among themselves. Lin Wan was truly happy for Xia Mo.
Li Yanchen pursed his lips.
As soon as Luo Xi arrived at the scene, the warning light in his head had turned on. He was going to work with another woman, and it seemed Lin Wan didnât care at all.
The man lowered his head. Beside him, Xiao Tianlin was still talking about his âtreasuresâ.
Li Yanchen suddenly had an idea. Maybe Lin Wan felt the same way Xiao Tianlin did. She was trying to be happy for her friendâs achievement. He could ask Xiao Tianline.
He hooked his arm with Xiao Tianlinâs and pulled him to the side. Xiao Tianlin tensed up. âBrother Li, why are you pulling me so hard?â
âBrother Xiao, you really donât mind that your wife has to work with me? If you do, I can give up my spot for you,â Li Yanchen said cautiously.
Xiao Tianlin smiled. âDidnât I tell you that Iâm quite happy with you two being partners? Do you think Iâm lying to you? I knew I wouldnât win. Itâs better that she is working with you than someone else. We are friends, after all.â
âBesides, donât give up your spot, Brother Li. Luo Xi is in second place. The spot will go to him if you give it up. I donât really mind. But why is it making you feel distressed?â Xiao Tianlin smiled. âAre you afraid that Lin Wan will be jealous? I donât think she cares. She is very happy for Xiaxia as well.â
Xiao Tianlin turned around and looked at the two people behind him.
Li Yanchen let go of Xiao Tianlin. âLetâs go our separate ways,â he said.
A camera from the Festival Group was still following them. Although the five families were divided into several small groups, everyone was quite close to each other.
The camera was five meters away, and everyoneâs back could be seen.
[Xiao Tianlin and Li Yanchen are so much like Xiao Yi and Li Zexin.]
[Who is the eldest among Xiao Tianlin and Mr. Li?]
[Letâs get the two fathers-in-law together. Itâs not a bad idea for them to be a couple. Hahahaha.]
[Iâve always felt that way. I donât dare to say it out loud. Every time Xiao Tianlin approaches Mr. Li, they always have some secret.]
[As a couple, they might be unpopular, but they arenât evil.]
[Iâm going to laugh at these two daddies. Why does Xiao Tianlin sound exactly like Xinxin?]
[Xiao Tianlin: Brother Li! Li Zexin: Wind God! Both Li Yanchen and Xiao Yi: face full of disgust and disdain.]
[Although I want to say that these two are just good friends, itâs easy to ship them.]
In the Festival Groupâs office, the staff members were eating watermelons.
âIt wonât be easy for the two families to end up together if they donât get married.â
âAssistant Director, are you that open-minded? They are both males.â
âTrue love doesnât discriminate between genders.â
âI just feel that the two mothers have the same career, and the fathers are similar. Xiao Yi and Li Zexin have the same interests and hobbies as well. Hahaha.â
âTheyâre just good friends. You guys are actually following the bullet screen to ship them?â
â¦
Everyone spouted nonsense but their faces were full of smiles. No one had thought in their wildest dreams that the cold and aloof Li family would be close to the top studentâs family.
On the bullet screen, everyone was excitedly discussing the couple that they had shipped at the last minute. The live broadcast room was switched off. It was seven.
Everyone went to Feifeiâs house together. Tao Jingyuan was in charge of cooking. The other mothers wanted to help but were pushed aside by Tao Jingyuan.
The fathers also arranged the place in the courtyard. Zheng Kuo wanted to help his wife but Tao Jingyuang was adamant that she could do it by herself.
so, Zheng Kuo sat back down with the fathers from the other families.
In the kitchen, Tao Jingyuan took her time. A few mothers were gathered in the courtyard.
Xia Mo and Lin Wan talked about everything. Even with Nannan beside them, Xia Mo didnât hold back.
Nannan laughed out loud from time to time as she listened to them. Lin Wan, who was the target of Xia Moâs teasing, turned pale.
The fathersâ group was obviously much livelier.
Luo Xi and Li Yanchen faced each other. They stole glances at each other.
Xiao Tianlin and Michael talked the most. Michael shared about his fitness experience and cued Li Yanchen and Xiao Tianlin. âDonât think that men are forty-year-old flowers. After thirty, all men and women need to take care of themselves.â
The only person that Michael did not cue in was Luo Xi.
Li Yanchenâs face darkened. âI am pretty strong. I can run a marathon without even panting much,â he said.
Xiao Tianlin nudged Li Yanchenâs arm. âBrother Li, come on! I think you are going to collapse because of the way you were weeding that field today.â
Luo Xi tried his best to hold back his laughter, but Michael burst out laughing. Li Yanchen was speechless.
âArenât we good friends? Why is he making fun of me?â wondered Li Yanchen.
âWeeding requires arm strength as well,â said Li Yanchen in his defense. âIt puts a strain on the waist too. Itâs normal for one to be tired after hours of continuous work.â
âYes. Thatâs true. I never felt so tired even after coaching for fitness for the whole day,â said Michael.
âLuo Xi, youâre so young, but you know how to do everything. I saw the news today. Youâre good at making coffee and cooking delicious meals. Most importantly, you were very quick at weeding during the competition, and youâre also very kind,â Michael praised Luo Xi.
Luo Xi smiled. âThese are all very simple. One is work, the other is life. These are the most basic things. As for you guys, each and every one of you is very powerful. Each of you has a unique set of skills. You all are very inspiring,â Luo Xi said humbly.
Li Yanchen looked at him in disdain. âWasnât this just all a big show off?â He could not say such words aloud.
The man gulped down a cup of tea.
Zheng Kuo continued, âthe most powerful one among us is Mr. Li. Heâs young and successful. His business is so big. His family is so good. His three children are all full of potential. His wife is a master at making dessert.â
Li Yanchen was elated in his heart. He felt that it was pretty good to be praised as a businessman.
Zheng Kuo really knew how to talk to people. He even praised Lin Wan.
...
Li Yanchen put on a fake smile. âI am just glad to be able to take advantage of what life throws at me. Wanwan, on the other hand, is really amazing. She can always come up with new things to do. Itâs not just you guys, I am surprised as well. How does she have so many talents?â
Li Yanchen felt that he was really smart, killing two birds with one stone. He pretended to be humble while exalting Lin Wan.
âBrother Li really pampers his wife. You all donât know about this, but when Lin Wan was working at Xia Moâs store, he used to drop her off and pick her up every single day. He was afraid Lin Wan would run away.â
âBrother Li, you should be more confident. Other than being older, youâre outstanding in all aspects.â Xiao Tianlinâs words had successfully extinguished the little flame of pride that was burning in Li Yanchenâs heart.
He was extremely puzzled with Xiao Tianlinâs lack of restraint. âHow did he ever raise someone like Xiao Yi?â
