The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them-Chapter 144 - My Body Can Still Pass for Twenty. I Am Strong and Health
144 My Body Can Still Pass for Twenty. I Am Strong and Health
Li Zexin was the first person to wake up in Lan Village that morning as the sky was just beginning to get lighter. Then he roused Li Zexuan.
“Brother, which one do you think I look good in?” The boy took three sets of clothes and laid them on the side of Li Zexuan’s bed.
Li Zexuan yawned. “Aren’t we supposed to help Ms. Lin with her makeup and dress? Why are you getting concerned over your clothes?”
“We are Ms. Lin’s family. We can’t be sloppy. We have to look good, too. How is this T-shirt with these black shorts?”
“Looks old-fashioned. Choose pink. Ms. Lin looks good in pink. I remember father having a pink shirt too. We can all wear the same colors.” Li Zexuan thought about the clothes they had packed.
Li Zexuan crouched down and retrieved a pink T-shirt from his suitcase. He also took out another shirt for his younger brother. When Li Zexuan had worked as a spokesperson for a certain store, they had given him this outfit.
Li Zexin shivered after changing into his new outfit. He had never been a big fan of pink clothing. He had always thought that this color was too feminine for him.
Li Zexuan had entirely different tastes. He enjoyed wearing pink clothing. In his opinion, men looked young and fresh in pink, and they should wear it more.
Li Zekai also woke up after hearing the conversation between his brothers. “Brother, What time is it?”
“It’s still early, Jiejie. We decided to wear the same colors today. As the support group for Ms. Lin, it’s important for us to maintain consistency. You can choose whatever you want to wear in the future but today, we need to wear similar things.” The three brothers had completely different tastes and opinions, so Li Zexin was giving his younger brother a heads-up.
Under the bright white light, there were three t-shirts of the same color and the same flower pattern, and three pairs of shorts of different sizes. Li Zekai glanced at them. “You guys didn’t even want to wear it during the last event.”
“That was in the last episode. This episode, Ji Hanzhi is joining us today. I watched the show she participated in last night. She can even sing and dance.” Li Zexin felt that Lin Wan had been already left behind in terms of talent. “Ms. Lin does sing very well. But if we don’t do something to show that we are all on the side of Ms. Lin, she will be crushed.”
Li Zekai jumped up from the bed. “That won’t do. We can’t let that happen. Big brother, quickly change into your clothes. I’ll go and call daddy. Daddy also has to wear pink clothes.”
After the three brothers finished washing up, they even blew each other’s hair with the hairdryer. Finally, they stood in front of the mirror. “We look handsome!”
The three of them dispersed after that. Li Zekai was in charge of waking Lin Wan and Li Yanchen and getting them into the clothes they had picked. He had to make sure they wore matching colors. Li Zexuan went to the Festival Group office to get the makeup artist. Li Zekai was in charge of breakfast.
On their first night in Lan Village, Li Yanchen and Lin Wan had not planned anything. In fact, they had been traveling the whole day yesterday, so they had fallen asleep the moment they hit the bed. They were in deep sleep.
They didn’t even hear Li Zekai knock on the door a few times. In the end, the child stood at the window and rapped on it. Li Yanchen finally opened his eyes to see a figure on the windowsill.
“Daddy, time to get up!” Li Zekai’s two small hands tapped on the glass.
Li Yanchen put on his slippers and pulled open the curtains. “Jiejie?”
“Daddy, can I come in?” Seeing that his father had finally woken up, Li Zekai jumped down from the window.
“I will open the door for you.”
“Wanwan, Jiejie is here.” Li Yanchen pulled up the blanket that had slid to the side.
Lin Wan tossed and turned and then covered herself and disappeared deep into the blanket. f𝒓𝑒e𝓌e𝚋𝘯૦𝘷e𝗹. c૦𝒎
Even though they did not do anything intimate, Li Yanchen had taken off her pajamas and they had snuggled together to sleep.
Li Zekai stood by the door as it opened. “Daddy, my brothers and I decided on wearing pink clothes for today. I think you have one too. You should wear it. Auntie Lin too! She should wear the pink dress we bought her. We can all wear the same color! Hurry up and change! I will come and check on you in a while.”
The boy then turned around and shut the door. Lin Wan was speechless.
“Is this some kind of mission we forgot about?” asked Li Yanchen.
“Wanwan, there’s a pink Cheongsam in the closet. It was custom-made by the most famous tailor in Tuoyun City.” Li Yanchen had bought and packed it thinking that if the Festival Group came up with something like the talent show like last time, the outfit would brighten Lin Wan’s face.
“Ah?”
“I know your size. I also know that Cheongsam is different from other clothes. It doesn’t matter if the other clothes are big or small, but the cheongsam is most particular about fitting.” Lin Wan did not expect Li Yanchen to buy a custom-made Cheongsam for her. In her original world, she had had to try on so many different Cheongsams to find one that fit her.
“One of Chenxin’s businesses is clothing. I might not know how to make a Cheongsam, but I can tell your size now. Besides, what part of your body have I not measured personally?” Li Yanchen smirked. In the past, he used to get so tongue-side even thinking of saying something like that. But now, he said it so smoothly.
Lin Wan’s face turned red. “Li Yanchen, you are thirty-eight years old. Be a little more mature!” she stammered.
“Maybe, but my body can still pass for twenty. I am strong and healthy. But you already know that Wanwan.”
Lin Wan was speechless. Her face burned with embarrassment. She changed the topic. “Where is it? I will try it on!”
He was only joking with her and knew when to stop. “I will get it for you.”
He took out a bag from the closet and opened it. A Cheongsam full of embroidered diamond stars shimmered under the light. The cuffs were hollow with beads and wavy edges. Under the flower buttons, a round curve slid smoothly from the neckline to the top. The complete Cheongsam was lovely and luxurious because of the pink satin’s abundance of girlish hearts and the absence of any floral ornamentation.
Lin Wan had seen many pretty Cheongsam on display in the stores with the words “custom-made”, but none were as beautiful as what he showed her.
Li Yanchen passed the clothes to Lin Wan. “Do you want me to help you wear it?”
Lin Wan took the clothes and ran to the bathroom. She locked her door. Her heart raced.
When she finally came out of the bathroom wearing the Cheongsam, Li Yanchen couldn’t take his eyes off her.
The cheongsam highlighted her stunning figure, showcasing her charisma.
“Wanwan, it looks perfect on you!” That was the only thing Li Yanchen could utter. He was at a loss for words.
Lin Wan walked in front of the mirror to see how it fit her. She indeed looked very lovely!
She remembered that her favorite author, Zhang Ailin, was also a fan of Cheongsams.
Lin Wan at last realized why people claimed that seeing a woman wearing a cheongsam in the agarwood Pavilion was like a dream.
Li Yanchen pulled Lin Wan in his arms and kissed her again and again. How could he not fall for her?
There was a knock on the door. They hurriedly separated from each other.
“Come in.”
Li Zekai pushed the door open. He clapped in joy. “That’s great! You two look so good! I will tell my brothers.” The little boy ran.
“What if there’s a sports competition today?” said Lin Wan. The Cheongsam was beautiful, but it wasn’t comfortable if they had to play sports.
“That’s alright. If there is something like that, we will come back and change,” he said, pulling her close once again. “Wanwan, you aren’t allowed to go anywhere else tonight. I want to look at you closely.”
