Chapter 6

Does Your Face Hurt, Everyone?

“My wife likes to joke,” said Li Yanchen. “It would be okay with just the original camera without the filter. Isn’t the main purpose of the show to convey the most realistic part of our daily lives? Our family’s good looks can take a beating.” Was Li Yanchen complimenting himself or his children? It sounded like he was really asking for a beating.

The staff was confused. It looked like they were arguing but it sounded like easy banter between the husband and wife, with a hint of boasting. However, it was clear that he had admitted to his family’s good looks, which wasn’t untrue.

“Okay, then we’ll start in ten minutes.” The staff started the countdown.

[It’s about to start! It’s about to start! I’m really looking forward to it.]

[It’s only Seven. Will our Xuanxuan still be in his pajamas? I really want to see how he is in his normal time.]

[Last week’s return guest, Lin Guoguo’s family will be arriving. She’ll be visiting one of them today. I really hope they’ll go to Xuanxuan’s family.]

[Let’s start fighting for them on the bullet screen. Let Guoguo choose Xuanxuan’s family. Guoguo’s father is a chef. That way, our Xuanxuan won’t have to starve.]

[Sisters, it’s up to everyone now. Let’s go!]

[It’s up to Guoguo’s father to be willing. Without Lin Wan, there’s only baby Xuan and the other families who will be willing to help. It’s hard to say if Lin Wan will be involved.]

The bullet screen was still frantically planning for Li Zexuan’s day, but the camera on the other side opened three minutes in advance.

The first person who appeared was a handsome man.

[Wow, the staff member accidentally appeared on camera. He’s so handsome.]

[There’s only three minutes left before the livestream. Did the staff accidentally reveal their faces?]

[Everyone, quickly take a screenshot and search for him. It’s a pity for such a handsome person to work behind the scenes.]

[Don’t you guys think that this person’s eyes and brows are somewhat similar to Xuanxuan’s?]

[Handsome guys all have something in common.]

“Daddy, I’m going to pick some vegetables.” Li Zekai appeared on camera with a small bamboo basket on his back.

[Daddy? Who is he calling daddy?]

[F * ck! That is Li Yanchen !]

[Li Yanchen ‘s here! Li Yanchen ‘s here!]

[Li Yanchen is here!]

...

[Does your face hurt, everyone?]

[He is not a disheveled old man!]

“I’ll go with you. ” Lin Wan changed into her sports shoes and took the basket with her.

[Sob, sob, sob. Why do I feel that this scene is so harmonious?]

[Just who is Li Yanchen here for? Is it because he saw his son being abused, or is it because he saw that Lin Wan wasn’t good at anything?]

[Lin Wan took the initiative to pick vegetables with the Cubs, which means that she is trying.]

[The real boss is here. Does she dare to be rash?]

[I’m jealous. Lin Wan’s life is way too good.]

At the same time, the fans in the other family live streaming channels were in an uproar.

They all sent their own fans to Li Zexuan’s house to gain some popularity.

When Nannan found out that Li Yanchen was here, she was the first one to run over to curry favor with him. She was even holding Wheatley’s hand. Li Yanchen had started his business in the clothing industry. Later, he managed to build up such a huge business empire that his business had expanded. Now, he had many different businesses under his name. Nannan thought that if she could take some lessons from him, she might be able to expand her children’s clothing business as well. Wheatley was a child star. She had wanted to meet Li Zexuan since yesterday to increase her popularity, but the Festival Group had not been able to arrange the visit. Today was different. She could move freely today as long as she didn’t leave the village.

[Nannan pulled Wheatley over and saw that Xuanxuan asked Wheatley to call him brother. She said that she wanted to learn from brother.]

[She even praised Xuanxuan’s brother, saying that they’ll definitely become amazing people in the future.]

[Nannan is really good. She even praised Li Yanchen and Lin Wan.]

[Wheatley’s very chatty too. She keeps calling them big brother, little brother. She addresses Lin Yanchen as uncle and Lin Wan as Auntie. She is a smooth talker.]

[I’m so happy to see these two. Will Wheatley and Xuanxuan shoot the same drama one day?]

[It’s possible]

[I object. Xuanxuan belongs to everyone.]

At Li Zexuan’s house, Li Zekai and Lin Wan were already heading to the vegetable field. Li Zexin kept following his father, sometimes asking him what he wanted to eat for lunch, or how long he would be staying. He looked like a child starved for love.

Nannan was a female guest at Li’s temporary village residence. So, she could not stay for long. She had no choice but to return home.

Li Zexuan maintained his usual indifference. But when Wheatley greeted him, he always smiled warmly. Other times, he just sat on his stool with his arms and legs spread out. In the live broadcast room, there were many people with good looks. But whenever Li Zexuan appeared on camera, everybody cheered him on and forgot about everyone else.

“Come with me to chop firewood. If you lie down all day, your limbs will degenerate.” Li Yanchen ‘s attitude toward his son was a little harsh.

“I’ll go get the ax. ” Li Zexin was a flatterer.

[I didn’t hear it wrong, did I? Li Yanchen wants Xuanxuan to chop firewood! Xuanxuan’s hands are for playing the piano. There are already three men in the house, so what’s the point of Xuanxuan doing hard labor?]

“Mr. Li, I’ve heard so much about you. I’m so surprised to see you here today. I’m the host of ‘Xiao Xiao: A Famous Person’. If I could invite you to my... Oh, this is my son, Tutu.” Xu Xiaoxiao had joined in the fun as well. She was just a small internet celebrity, and her husband was the CEO of Jintang Media, Su Wei. Was she trying to curry favor from him as well?

[What’s Xu Xiaoxiao doing? She wants Li Yanchen to accept her interview? She only has 700000 fans… She’s really bold!]

[What a joke! Even the well-known interview program Yifan Master’s interview couldn’t get Li Yanchen to join them!]

“Who’s your son again? if you say it again, I’ll ask Grandma to tear your mouth apart,” Tutu said indignantly, without a trace of politeness.

[Why do I feel so satisfied when watching Tutu? it seems like Tutu’s grandmother doesn’t like Xu Xiaoxiao either.]

[Don’t you guys know? Xu Xiaoxiao is Su Wei’s mistress.]

Xu Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale. Li Yanchen pinched Tutu’s cheeks, without even looking at her.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Li. I may be a little rude, but it’s fate that we’re going on the show together. Besides, Su Wei is the boss of Jintang Media, and Jintang is well-known in the industry for its planning ability. They can help your company plan for a very high price. Do you want to consider coming to my live broadcast room?” Xu Xiaoxiao had her mind set on how she could become an internet celebrity with millions of fans through Li Yanchen.

...

However, she had overestimated Su Wei’s status.

[What does she mean? Does she think that it’s Li Yanchen ‘s good fortune to be able to get Jintang as the planner?]

[What a joke! Don’t you know how many media companies Li Yanchen has?]

[There’s really no one else with such low emotional intelligence. Are they asking during the livestream because they think that Li Yanchen would not reject them publicly?]

“Who’s Su Wei?” Li Yanchen’s words made the already awkward atmosphere even more intense.

Through the screen, the audience could feel Xu Xiaoxiao’s discomfort.

[Mr. Li’s true nature. I’m a fan now.]

[Big brother is so cool. Don’t you think so?]

[Su Wei, come and save us. I’m afraid your fiancée will ruin your popularity.]
