The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them-Chapter 216 - Wanwan, Are You Having Second Thoughts About Me?

216 Wanwan, Are You Having Second Thoughts About Me?

Li Yanchen and Lin Wan were sitting side by side. When he heard Jian Jia’s words, his heart skipped a beat.

He had been on the same team as Luo Xi in the competition earlier. He felt that Luo Xi was an okay person. However, when Jian Jia suddenly came to look for Lin Wan and asked her to pretend to be his mother, he felt miffed. ‘Did Luo Xi make the child say that?’

[Borrowed mother? That’s funny and sad.]

[Out of all the mothers present, Jian Jia approached Lin Wan. Does that mean he likes Lin Wan the most?]

!!

[Lin Wan is multi-talented. She is beautiful, smart, and, more importantly, childlike. What’s not to like?]

[@Previous Poster, I suspect that you’re referring to Lin Wan. Are you hinting to everyone that Lin Wan is no different from a child and cannot do anything worthwhile, so she gets along with children better?]

[I definitely don’t mean it that way. I simply feel that Wan Jie has a charming personality, and she gets along well with children.]

[Right. Lin Wan gets along fine with both old and young people.]

When he heard Jian Jia’s words, Li Zekai felt displeased. “Jian Jia, you can’t ask someone to pretend to be your mother. It doesn’t work that way. You can ask your father to find a mother for you. An unused mother. Auntie Lin is ours.”

“Why can’t I borrow her for a while?” Jian Jia pouted.

Lin Wan almost rolled her eyes. ‘What’s “unused mother” supposed to mean? Am I already “used” in his eyes?’

“You can’t. Auntie Lin is already our mother. So, she can’t be your mother,” said Li Zekai.

Jian Jia appeared even more confused. “But Auntie Lin isn’t your mother. You call her “Auntie”. I never heard you call her “mother”.”

Li Zekai turned to Lin Wan. “Mom,” he said.

Lin Wan was stunned. So was Li Yanchen.

“See? She is my mother. It’s just that I am used to calling her “Auntie Lin”. It’s a nickname.” In order to defend his choice, Li Zekai had all his answers ready.

[Li Zekai called Lin Wan “Mom”.]

[Everyone looks shocked.]

Jian Jia lowered his head. “Alright,” he said sadly. “I will ask daddy to find a mother.”

[This is so touching.]

[If Jian Jia had a mother, he would definitely be happier.]

[I hope that Brother Luo Xi will consider it. I will still give my blessings. Brother needs to find someone who will love him.]

[Yeah. Who will be lucky enough to get someone like him?]

[Everyone, look at Mr. Li’s face! It changes so fast. When Jian Jia asked Lin Wan to pretend to be his mother, Mr. Li looked so serious. But, when Jiejie called her “Mom”, his face changed so suddenly. He is even smiling.]

“What did you say?” Lin Wan asked.

“Nothing, Auntie Lin,” said Li Zekai.

Lin Wan chuckled. ‘This little brat is playing tricks on me again.’

“Do you guys want to have another match? Should we change the team?” the staff member asked.

Xiao Tianlin waved both of his hands. “I don’t want to. I have to go make lunch.”

[I am dying of laughter.]

[Hahahaha. He is afraid of being beaten up again. Everyone, please understand. If they compete again, it will be very embarrassing.]

[I want to see who’s stronger between Mr. Li and Luo Xi.]

[From the analysis of the competition just now, the two of them are on par. I’m guessing that the Festival Group will arrange a serious competition. The live stream room was very popular just now.]

[I want to watch them compete too. It’s best if the mothers are on stage too. The mothers can go against the rules.]

[That’s a good suggestion. Send me a private message.]

The netizens couldn’t wait for the five families to participate in more competitions to make things interesting.

The staff who had been monitoring the background had already seen the feedback on the bullet screen and collected everyone’s suggestions.

Xiao Yi heard his father’s objection and shook his head.

Li Yanchen was afraid that everyone would think that Xiao Tianlin was being a sore sport, so he added, “I think that’s all for today. We were just playing around anyway.”

The staff was embarrassed to issue a task for them to perform again.

“The game is over,” they declared. “Everyone dismissed. There will be a mission this afternoon. After lunch, please pay attention to any upcoming announcements.”

The camera turned around and followed behind the guests, temporarily blocking the sound.

Li Yanchen’s entire jersey stuck to his body, and he reeked of sweat.

When Lin Wan approached him, he moved to the side, away from her. “I am sweating all over. It’ll dirty your clothes.”

Lin Wan hooked her arm around Li Yanchen’s. “It’s the smell of a man.”

Li Zexuan pulled his brother to the other side. “Jiejie, you did great today.”

Li Zekai was at a loss for words.

“Of course, nobody can borrow Ms. Lin. Who’s going to bake us a cake if everyone tries to borrow her?” Li Zexuan gave his brother a thumbs-up.

Li Zekai straightened his back. “Jian Jia is young. He hasn’t even started school, so he doesn’t understand. I do. So, I have to patiently explain it to him.”

“Brother, Auntie Lin didn’t say anything,” said Li Zekai, a little worried. “Don’t tell me she wants to be Jian Jia’s Auntie instead. You haven’t been good to her. She might agree to Jian Jia’s request.”

“Have I not treated Ms. Lin well?” asked Li Zexuan.

“Yes,” said Li Zekai. “You always say you don’t like what she buys for you. You even laugh at her for being childish. Jian Jia is so obedient and lovable. Look at you. You are always cold and aloof. In the past, Brother Xinxin would openly side with Auntie Lin and defend her. But, right now, Brother Xinxin is not here. You act arrogant all the time, and I am not as cute as Jian Jia.”

Li Zexuan was baffled. “I am on Ms. Lin’s side, too!” He was indeed always cold and aloof, but he cared about his stepmother.

Li Zekai tilted his head in confusion. “You say that but do things that are opposite to your words,” said Li Zekai angrily. “If someone takes away Auntie Lin, you don’t have to call me your brother anymore.”

...

Li Zexuan was speechless.

After walking for a while, Jian Jia and Luo Xi reached Lin Wan and the others.

The little boy completely ignored the fact that Li Yanchen was there and held Lin Wan’s other hand.

“Auntie Lin, can you be my Auntie too? Daddy said that there are four days left until the show. Can’t you be my Auntie for just two days?” asked Jian Jia.

Luo Xi was flabbergasted. He was about to stop Jian Jia. Li Yanchen, on the other hand, wanted to ask the child if Luo Xi had put him up to this. But Lin Wan stopped him.

She stopped in her tracks and patiently explained to the child, “That can’t happen. It doesn’t work like that. Only married couples can stay together.”

“Then Auntie Lin, can’t you marry my daddy just for two days? I know getting married is cheap. I can pay for the marriage.” The child was about to take a 20 yuan bill from his little bag.

Lin Wan didn’t know what to say. After a pause, she said, “A person can only get married once in a lifetime. I already chose Uncle Li. I can’t choose anyone else to get married to again. If I do, the police will take me away.”

Jian Jia knew that the police only caught bad people. “I don’t want the police to take you away. You should just continue to be Jiejie’s Auntie.” Jian Jia returned to Luo Xi’s side in disappointment.

It was a lie to say that a person could get married only once, but Li Yanchen was satisfied with the answer. He cleared his throat. “You said that a person can get married only once. I took that seriously.”

“I only said that for Jian Jia’s sake,” said Lin Wan.

...

“Then do you want to get married a second time? Wanwan, are you having second thoughts about me?” he asked.
