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

Yeah, Right, Li Yanchen Loves Me So Much

[There’s no one else in the kitchen. Where did the kids go after they covered the kitchen with ashes?]

[Xuanxuan, where’s your idol burden?]

[Listen carefully. Although there are no images, you can hear their laughter.]

[Not cooking anymore? Are they playing a game?]

[Children really can play with anything. Speaking of which, I was often rejected when I was young.]

[I want to see the little kids’ carefree faces.]

[Director, add more shots. It’s not satisfying to listen to the voice only.]

The three children, who were playing games, seemed to have forgotten to do their tasks.

Ever since they were young, Li Zexin’s pranks had never caught his father’s attention. However, when he smeared ash on his father’s face today, his father actually nudged Lin Wan and laughed along!

Although Lin Wan said it was childish, she realized she was smiling like a fool. She caught herself and pretended to be serious again.

Li Yanchen knew when to stop. He washed his face with the well water. “Can we start cooking now?” he asked.

“Please help us make a fire.”

When the three sons reappeared on camera with clean faces, the netizens were in an uproar.

Everyone was there including Li Yanchen.

[Don’t tell me she really doesn’t want to work at all.]

[Everyone’s working. How can she be so indifferent?]

[Do you think she needs help in the bathroom?]

[Who knows?]

[Are there any men in the live broadcast room? Remember, don’t marry a younger wife. She’s hard to coax and can be pretentious.]

Everyone expressed their agreement.

In the kitchen, Li Yanchen started a fire very quickly. Ever since he had arrived at Lan Village, he was no longer particular about the kind of food he ate. He guided his children and educated them on cooking.

Li Yanchen patted the dust off his clothes and walked out of the kitchen.

In the past, the fans only commented negatively about Lin Wan. But seeing Li Yanchen walking out and ignoring his children, they started commenting negatively about him too.

[Li Zexuan is your son! His hands are precious!]

[I’m sad for the little kid.]

[Maybe this is their way of education. Don’t think too much.]

[What kind of education method is this? Xiao Yi is already a first-year university student, and his mommy is still guiding him.]

[Li Yanchen only knows how to make congee. How do you expect him to teach cooking food?]

[He and Lin Wan are birds of the same feather.]

The fans were still cursing and swearing when Li Yanchen suddenly took out a huge pumpkin from a mysterious place.

He opened the other empty pot, added a small amount of water, and placed the steamer inside. Then he placed the huge pumpkin on top.

[Does your ego hurt now? Everyone]

[He’s trying his best to be a good father.]

[I have the same feeling.]

They probably hadn’t expected their father to be back, so the three children were overjoyed.

Li Zexin pinched himself when he saw his father. With the pain, he realized that this was certainly not a dream. Many times, he had woken up early in the morning or gone to sleep very late at night wanting to spend time with his father. He had even fallen sick and gotten hospitalized. He had watched the other children enjoy the food made by their parents. He envied them for receiving so much love that he lacked. But now, he felt that things were different. He had spent time with his father and ate the food he cooked.

“Dad, I thought you didn’t care about us at all,” said little Li Zekai, holding his father’s hand. “But you do! You went out to find some food for us.”

Li Zexuan stared at the rice and then at his father. “Are you going to make steamed pumpkin?”

“I really don’t think the rice you have made will be edible,” joked Li Yanchen. ‘So, I intend to do both. I am going to create a dish today.” He declared smugly.

Li Zexuan wondered how he didn’t even know his father well.

“Please, go right ahead.” He smiled.

In their father’s company, they seemed to have forgotten about the woman who was resting in the courtyard.

Lin Wan could smell steamed pumpkin. She had eaten two peaches in the morning out of anger and was now famished. She got up, almost drooling.

In the original world, she was a livestreamer who made desserts, but she could never make any with pumpkin. The smell made her drool. She lamented how far she had fallen.

The image of her husband and stepsons, with ash smeared on their faces, flashed through her mind. ‘Why did they seem so different from the original ?’

...

Shen Man, who had already reached home, put down her luggage and sent a message to Lin Wan. “We’re home. Did you have lunch?”

Lin Wan felt warmth in her heart. There were still people in this world who really cared about her. She replied, “Yes, Mr. Li cooked lunch.”

“Li Yanchen is cooking again? Wow. He really loves you so much. Cherish him.”

Everyone knew that the big boss of the business world, Li Yanchen, had a cold and detached personality. He was an emotionless robot towards everyone, whether they were his employees or his own sons. Other than work, he had nothing else in his mind. There were even rumors in the outside world that the reason Li Yanchen had participated in this variety show was entirely because of Lin Wan. He had tried so many things in this show and all these changes pointed towards just one person.

“Yeah, right. Li Yanchen loves me so much.” Lin Wan’s words were supposed to be sarcastic, but Shen Man didn’t notice.

The outside world definitely didn’t know what Lin Wan knew. Li Yanchen had left on a business trip the next day after their wedding. He hadn’t even sent so much a message to his new wife in fifteen days. He had not even said he missed her. The outside world didn’t know that Li Yanchen didn’t even share a bed with her.

Not that Lin Wan was expecting any of that and didn’t look forward to it happening. But she wanted justice for the original owner of her body. She hated pandering around as husband and wife. If she didn’t love him, she thought she should let him go. There was no need to torture him or herself like this.

In Anan’s house, Song Jing had prepared some cabbages and vegetables, as well as a few eggs. They could be put into the pot together and she didn’t have to worry about her daughter hurting her hands with a knife.

...

The hand-torn cabbage and vegetable egg soup was quickly served with rice.

The netizens all liked it.

[Anan’s mother is very smart, isn’t she? She followed the rules of the show and still made it very easy for her daughter.]

[She’s not pretentious at all. She won’t instruct the child to do something fancy to attract attention.]

[Are you guys referring to Nannan? Nannan is just very serious about everything, including eating. It’s not good to say that.]

[Why are Wheatley’s Internet Army here in Anan’s live broadcast room? Please leave.]

[Nannan is just showing off.]

[You guys must have gotten used to lazy people, that’s why you think putting effort and working hard is showing off.]

[What are you doing inside Xuanxuan’s house?]

[Why are there so many people in this live broadcast room? You’re in the wrong place.]

The fans of the three groups started to argue on the bullet screen.

...

Song Jing, who was looking at the screen from time to time, said, “Every family has different living habits. My family’s life is simpler.”

[Songsong replied. She’s the only one who replied to the comments the moment she came.]

“If you like it, then watch it. If you don’t like it, turn it off. Everyone watches the live broadcast for fun, don’t you think so? Why make so much of a fuss?” Song Jing put down what he was doing and sat in front of the camera.

[Isn’t the purpose of this show to let us see everyone’s real life? It’s not real if it’s just to please people.]

[That’s right, Songsong. Ignore the trolls and just do what you like.]
