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

Chapter 168 Wanwan, I Also Lack Love



168 Wanwan, I Also Lack Love


At night, the three children stayed by Lin Wan’s side and refused to return to their rooms. Li Yanchen was pushed out to the living room.


At ten in the night, he walked back to his room with a sullen face. He grabbed his sons’ hands and dragged them away one after the other to their rooms.


“Wanwan, it’s my turn.” He locked the door.


Lin Wan leaned back on the sofa. “I wanted to talk to you about this. I discussed it with Xuanxuan and the other kids. If we get the endorsement, we will either give it up or give it to another family.”


Li Yanchen pulled Lin Wan into his arms. “Whatever you guys decide is fine with me. Wanwan, when we return to Yun City, do your live stream from Chenxin. I want to see you every day.”


“But Xinxin asked me to help him with his third-year studies for Junior High.”


“What do you mean?” he asked. Li Yanchen had not expected his son, especially Li Zexin, to make a request like that.


“He told me that you agreed to rent an apartment near the school for Auntie Huang so that he could have better food for dinner? She will return after the end of the month,” said Lin Wan. Her first reaction to his request had been a complete surprise. But she didn’t mind joining him if Auntie Huang was accompanying her.


“The food at school is terrible,” Lin Wan mimicked Li Zexin.


“I did agree to let Auntie Huang stay there and return at the end of the month. She’ll be in charge of Xinxin’s dinner, but I didn’t agree to let you go.” Li Yanchen wished that he could be with Lin Wan every single day. If she went away, how could he live?


“Don’t go,” said Li Yanchen.


“We can all move there,” Lin Wan suggested.


Li Yanchen sighed. “We will figure something out after we return to Yun City after the show. You guys aren’t allowed to make a decision without including me.” Li Yanchen pretended to be annoyed. “Wanwan, I also lack love.”


That night Li Yanchen held her tight and buried his face onto her neck as he slept as though she would disappear any moment.


At Ji Hanzhi’s house, she worried as the second episode was nearing its end. There was still no progress at all between her and Li Yanchen. No matter how she provoked them, she could not shake the relationship between Li Yanchen and Lin Wan.


Fortunately, she was prepared. Ji Hanzhi sent a message to her client, “Let’s begin.”


In Chongzhou, K, who had received the message, sent Lin Wan the picture he had prepared in advance.


The picture was of the chat history between Li Yanchen and Ji Hanzhi. There was also another picture of them together.


In the morning, Lin Wan got the notification on her phone. She sat down on the bed. Li Yanchen sat up as well when he heard the sound.


When he saw the message, he was even more shocked than Lin Wan. He didn’t understand who had taken that picture in the hotel lobby. In the photo, Ji Hanzhi opened her arms wide, and Li Yanchen was a few steps away. The picture was frozen at that moment.


“I have more photos of Li Yanchen and Ji Hanzhi together. I also have a screenshot of their chat history. He claims he has never been together with Hanzhi. If they were never together, how could they appear together in a hotel lobby in the middle of the night? I am Hanzhi’s friend. All these years, she has suppressed her feelings for him. I know that she had only ever loved Li Yanchen. Even when they are on the same show, I have watched Ji Hanzhi trying to be very professional and diplomatic about it so that you would not misunderstand things. But Li Yanchen is intentionally showing off his love in the live broadcast, especially in front of Ji Hanzhi. Does he have to be so brutal and callous while he doesn’t acknowledge the relationship he had with her?”


Lin Wan zoomed in on the photo and saw that it was pitch black outside the window. The photo was indeed taken at night and the location was the hotel lobby.


She raised her head and looked at Li Yanchen. Her face held doubt.


“It’s in the past so I can still accept it but please don’t lie to me,” said Lin Wan.


In her original world, Lin Wan had to take a lot of videos and photos. She occasionally had to edit a few things. She could tell if a photo was real or fake by observing it.


Although the photo from the unknown number wasn’t very clear, it wasn’t edited.


Ji Hanzhi had done the same thing three years ago. The chats and photos were real but she had deliberately chosen a misleading viewpoint. He didn’t want to say anything nasty because he had already given Ji Hanzhi enough face. He had just stated that he had no ex-girlfriend.


“Wanwan, I would never lie to you. There is still half an hour before the live stream. I will explain clearly then.” Li Yanchen was lost in thought as though he was making a very important decision.


K sent a screenshot of the message to Ji Hanzhi.


‘Can Lin Wan still trust Li Yanchen?’ Ji Hanzhi wondered. She laughed.


When the broadcast started at eight, the Festival Group announced that the Li family was giving up the endorsement. Since Wheatley’s family was the second most popular family, they got the spot.


Nannan, who had been complaining about Lin Wan the day before, held Wheatley’s hand and wanted to go to the Li family to thank Lin Wan in person.


[The Li family’s endorsement spot opened up. They are giving it up.]


[Today is the last day. Why did this episode end so fast?]


[I half expected Ji Hanzhi and Lin Wan to fight. I didn’t expect them to be so peaceful. I see no conflict at all.]


[Sister Hanzhi won’t be coming for the next episode, right? Did you guys hear? There will be someone else in the next episode. He will be bringing his nephew.]


[I heard that it’s Luo Xi. Doesn’t he like Lin Wan? The Festival Group did it on purpose again, right? ]


[The Festival Group is too much. Are they targeting the Li family deliberately? Don’t the others have any exes?]


[I watched the reunion of Yungang High School. Luo Xi hasn’t gotten married yet. Was he waiting for Lin Wan? ]


The second episode was coming to an end, and the bullet comments were all about the rumored flying guest of the upcoming third episode.


Li Yanchen was prepared to talk about his and Ji hanzhi’s “past”. As soon as she sat in front of the camera, she saw “Luo Xi” on the bullet screen.


[Mr. Li is here.]


[Mr. Li, your love rival will be coming for the next episode.]


[Luo Xi isn’t even thirty yet. He’s so young.]


[Mr. Li, are you feeling stressed yet?]


‘Luo Xi?’ Li Yanchen tried to recall the name. ‘Wasn’t he Lin Wan’s classmate? The school hunk. If he is unmarried, is he planning to bring his stepson to the show?’


“That doesn’t matter. I have something I want to clarify today.” Li Yanchen’s heart skipped a beat. He could not concentrate on anything else except the rumor that Lin Wan’s classmate would be joining the next episode. He was young like Lin Wan.


He cleared his mind. The most important thing right now was to clarify the situation once and for all so that Ji Hanzhi would give up completely.


[Mr. Li is very confident]


[Lin Wan only has eyes for Mr. Li, okay? Don’t start rumors on the bullet screen.]


[That’s right. The commenter just wants to watch the world burn. What does Luo Xi have to do with Mr. Li? He was just her classmate. They weren’t even together. That’s all.]


[Mr. Li, what did you want to clarify?]


Li Yanchen showed the message that Lin Wan had received to the camera.


“Everyone, take a look at this message first.” It was only after a long while that Li Yanchen moved the phone away.


Ji Hanzhi’s fans, who were waiting in the Li family’s live broadcast room, switched back to Ji family’s broadcast room in a hurry.


[Sister Hanzhi, watch the Li family’s broadcast. Your friend has betrayed you.]


[Is someone trying to defame you on purpose? Your friend sent a picture of you and Li Yanchen to Lin Wan and even said that you only ever loved Li Yanchen. They said you kept your distance because he was married and that she is fighting for you.]


[Why do I feel like this is deliberately to dig out your old wounds? Li Yanchen says he wants to clarify things.]


Ji hHanzhi clicked into the Li family’s live broadcast room. Some viewers had already posted the screenshot of the message.


No one knew that he was also smart. He showed the original picture that he received in the message.
