The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them - Chapter 392

Chapter 392: Drinking Makes You Even More Beautiful

Xiao Yi, Li Zexuan, and Li Zexin wanted to join the other children and drink tea, but Pei Lingfeng said they were men and men should drink alcohol.

So, the three oldest boys sat in the middle of the adults and started drinking red wine.

“Can I go over there? I’m underage.” Li Zexin couldn’t stand the taste of alcohol at all. No matter how good the wine was, he only wanted to drink fruit tea.

Xiao Yi also pushed his cup to his father. “You guys can drink all you want.

You’ve been drunk before, so it doesn’t matter.”

Before the adults could protest, the three of them got up and left.

“Li Zekai, save some for me!” Li Zexin held his younger brother’s hand.

There wasn’t much left to begin with, but suddenly three more people had arrived. The children didn’t seem very happy about it.

But they were all family, so everyone reluctantly shared a little.

Lin Wan never expected that Li Yanchen couldn’t hold his liquor.

The Festival Group hadn’t expected the guests to make plans among themselves, so they rescheduled the massage sessions for tomorrow afternoon.

At night, Xiao Tianlin wanted to help Li Yanchen back home. Li Yanchen stood up straight to prove to everyone that he was fine.

But as they walked out of the courtyard, Lin Wan felt that Li Yanchen was walking unsteadily, so she asked her eldest and second stepsons to support him.

Li Yanchen was surprisingly clear-headed, but he had a slight headache. His brain could still control his actions, just not as smoothly as when he was sober.

The children escorted their father into the room and asked Lin Wan if they needed to stay and take care of him. Upon hearing this, Li Yanchen pushed his sons out and locked the door to the room.

“Mr. Li, when we go back the day after tomorrow, make an appointment for a medical examination. I suspect you have alcohol intolerance.” Lin Wan had drunk more than Li Yanchen tonight, but she was fine.

“I know… it’ll be fine in two hours. Wanwan, didn’t you say that I could do whatever I wanted tonight?”

Lin Wan touched Li Yanchen’s head. “Are you pretending to be drunk?”

He grasped Lin Wan’s hand. “I did say I am not drunk at all. I have a headache, but not because I’m drunk. Wanwan… you’re even more beautiful after drinking. You look ethereal. It’s like a layer of gauze covering your face… Maybe I’m drunk, or I wouldn’t see two of you here.”

“The 1982 Lafite is truly exceptional. There’s still a lingering fragrance in my mouth. It tastes even better than the lipstick you wear, Wanwan. I want to savor the scent of wine left on your lips…”

Lin Wan blushed.

There was no heating in the room, so Li Yanchen’s planned actions couldn’t be carried out on the sofa. They had to choose the warmth of the bed instead.

On the fifth day of the live broadcast, there were no tasks in the morning, and the village was getting colder. The pond had frozen over. People couldn’t catch fish and shrimp anymore, but they still had vegetables and salted meat.

The children chose to play at home.

When Li Yanchen woke up, he saw that Lin Wan was pressed against him. He turned over. Lin Wan slowly opened her eyes.

Lin Wan moved her leg, feeling sore all over her body. Except for the day she had a fever, she hadn’t rested for the past few days.

Lin Wan began to suspect that she was the one who was thirty-eight years old, while Li Yanchen was still young and strong.

Fortunately, they could go for a massage together after lunch.

Li Yanchen circled his finger around Lin Wan’s temple.

“Isn’t it tiring to keep doing that?” Lin Wan asked.

“It’s not tiring. I can look at you all day without getting tired. I enjoy it, Wanwan. How can you be so alluring?”

Lin Wan grabbed a pillow and placed it between them. “Stop it, I’m hungry. I want to eat fried rice cakes.’

“Something greasy so early in the morning?”

“I’ve used up so much energy. I need to replenish my strength. The rice cakes are on the stove in the kitchen. You can fry them after opening the vacuum packaging. Give me some sweet bean sauce too.” Lin Wan wasn’t actually hungry, but she wanted to get Li Yanchen out of the room. She wanted to change her clothes and sit in the courtyard.

She was tired, and her throat was sore. She hadn’t even stopped coughing.

“The lozenges are on the bedside table,” said Li Yanchen.

“I know. Just hurry up and go.”

Li Yanchen freshened up and went to the kitchen.

Lin Wan changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom ten minutes later.

It was just past 7:30 a.m., and the children weren’t up yet.

Lin Wan took a bag of peanuts and started peeling them in the courtyard. She always peeled some when she had nothing to do. It helped relieve stress and pass the time.

The song “Extraterrestrial” was playing on a loop on her phone.

At Doudou’s house, Li Meng stayed up late writing her novel and had fallen asleep only at dawn.

Pei Lingfeng prepared milk and bread for Doudou.

After finishing breakfast, Doudou went back to her room and read a book.

At Xiao Yi’s house, Xiao Yi had woken up early. He didn’t have a habit of sleeping in late. When he went out for a jog, his father joined him. Xia MO stayed home to make breakfast.

Father and son chatted aimlessly on the way.

Xiao Tianlin asked his son if he liked any girls yet.

Xiao Tianlin then asked if he liked any boys instead.

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment. “No! Why are you asking me suddenly?”

“Just trying to understand my own son. When do you plan to start dating?

There are many girls in your college, and you have many choices.”

“I want to apply for direct admission to graduate school. I have no plans to date. Let Mom know about it too. Even if I pursue a master’s and doctoral degree consecutively, I wont graduate until I’m twenty-eight or twenty-nine.

Don’t rush to get me married, either.”

“Studying is a good thing, but dating won’t hinder it,” said Xiao Tianlin. “But it’s your life. So, you can figure it out for yourself.” “Run faster. This is now a race,” said Xiao Yi.

Xiao Tianlin began to sprint.

At Feifei’s house, Feifei was afraid of the cold, so he stayed under the covers. Tao Jingyuan brought a folding table and let her son have breakfast in bed.

After breakfast, Zheng Kuo and his son did a karaoke session together while

Tao Jingyuan interacted with the viewers.

At Tutu’s house, Tutu woke up earlier than his father. After getting dressed, brushing his teeth, and washing his face, he ate a few slices of bread and waited in the courtyard for a while. He then said goodbye to his father and went to find Li Zekai.

Li Zekai and his two older brothers were in the study. The brothers were doing their homework while he obediently flipped through an English picture book. He marked the parts he didn’t understand with a circle and planned to ask his brothers later when they took a break.

When Tutu appeared in the courtyard, he only saw Lin Wan. “Good morning, Auntie Lin.. Is Jiejie home?”
