The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them - Chapter 98

98 I Came Here Just to Look for You

Li Zekai looked around. “No. I am actually looking for Auntie Lin. Doesn’t she work here?”

“Oh, she’s in the office too. I’ll go get her.” The staff was careful because Xia Mo had repeatedly emphasized that no one was allowed into the office, and it should not be revealed that they were doing a live broadcast.

In the office area, Li Zekai saw a board at the office door with the words “Do Not Enter”. The little boy obediently stood outside while the staff went in to call Lin Wan.

‘Uncle Qin says people can only work in an office if they study hard, that way their work will not be very difficult. Auntie Lin gets to work from an office. That’s good!’

!!
The shop assistant knocked on the door and Xia Mo came outside. “What is it?”

“Li Zekai is here to see Ms. Lin,” the staff whispered in Xia Mo’s ears.

“Oh…” Xia Mo was a little surprised. “I will send Lin Wan right away.”

Hearing this, Lin Wan took off her apron and hat. She tidied herself up a little and went out to the waiting area. She pushed open the door to the waiting room and saw Li Zekai sitting on a small chair, swinging his legs.

“Little rascal, you are here!” Lin Wan smiled and teased as though she was meeting a friend.

When he saw Lin Wan, Li Zekai jumped down from his chair. “Auntie, are you really working at Auntie Xia’s shop?”

“I guess so. Why? What’s the matter?” she asked. “I should be asking why you aren’t at school.”

“Auntie, you really don’t care about me at all. The holidays have started. I just got home and didn’t see you there. I begged Uncle Qin to bring me here. He almost didn’t want to.” After returning to school from Lan Village, Li Zekai really wanted to go back home. Seeing Lin Wan made him happy. But he was disappointed to think that Lin Wan hadn’t missed him at all.

Lin Wan patted the child’s head. “I was too focused on my work, I guess. I forgot what day it was today. &Quot; ahem, I was too focused on my work. I even forgot what day it is today. I hope you have a good summer vacation, kid.”

After Lin Wan walked away from the camera, the fans in the live broadcast room started asking questions.

[Is Xiao Huan not broadcasting anymore?]

[Her voice was soothing. I am not used to the livestream without her voice.]

[Sister, are you coming later? There’s still an hour before it is supposed to end.]

“Something came up, so Xiao Huan had to leave. I will complete the remaining steps. Please watch carefully.” Xia Mo looked at the oven for a moment and then at the bullet screen, panicking a little.

[Sister, you don’t have to reply to us. Just pay attention to the oven.]

[Yeah. Xiao Huan must be busy when she is not live streaming, after all.]

Seeing everyone’s comments, Xia Mo’s nose twitched. During the live broadcast in Lan Village, the netizens had criticized Lin Wan so brutally. Here, they were being so understanding. If one day, they knew Xiao Huan was actually Lin Wan, what would they do?

In the waiting room, after exchanging a few words with Li Zekai, Lin Wan was worried that Xia Mo would not be able to handle the situation on her own. “Jiejie, I still have some work left. You go home with Assistant Qin. I will meet you there.”

Li Zekai had only been there for a few minutes and was about to be sent back home. The boy pouted. “Auntie, I came here just to look for you. Are you really going to send me back so soon?”

“Are you going to sit here the whole time? I have a dinner planned with Auntie Xia later again. You will be bored.”

Li Zekai realized that he was being a little unreasonable. He carried his small bag and got off from the chair. “Alright, Auntie. Then, please come back early. I will wait for you.”

After Lin Wan sent Li Zekai off. She stood by the door for a few minutes. She was trying to sort out her thoughts. ‘Li Zekai is on holiday?’ Did that mean her carefree life was now over? She would have to fight with her stepsons for the next two months again. The little cub was okay. He wasn’t looking for trouble.

Lin Wan was a little confused. She knew it. She could not handle these relationships at all. Just thinking about it was enough to give her a headache.

She brushed off her thoughts and returned to the live broadcast room.

[Xiao Huan is back!]

[Sister, what are you going to release tomorrow again?]

[I know every ingredient on the Caramelized Pearl cake. I’ve eaten it before, but I can’t imagine what it looks like when put together.]

[You are good at suggesting.]

[Sister, how old are you?]

“I’m in my twenties. The way to make a cake is pretty much the same every time. If you know the basics, you can even make your own.,” replied Lin Wan.

[Xiao Huan is only in her twenties. She is so young.]

[Ah, Xia Mo is already 40, but she can’t make such good food.]

[Don’t say that. You will get blocked. You won’t be able to buy the Fire Ice Cream Cake.]

[I’m sorry, I was wrong.]

“Ms. Xia is very good at her craft. Everyone has a style of their own. The Sweetheart Inn is one of the best dessert shops in Yun City,” Lin Wan spoke up for Xia Mo.

Xia Mo’s heart was touched. She glanced at Lin Wan. ‘Who wouldn’t like a person like Lin Wan?’ she wondered. She felt that the keyboard warriors who attacked Lin Wan during the livestream were all blind.

[Xiao Huan is right. I have a card from The Sweetheart Inn. It’s really good.]

[I’ll go there tomorrow.]

…

The live broadcast gained a lot of fans for The Sweetheart Inn. After the livestream ended, Xia Mo took Lin Wan to a Japanese restaurant.

It wasn’t even seven yet, and Li Zekai had already called her to ask when she would be home. Even though it was a buffet, Lin Wan didn’t feel like eating much.

On the way home, Xia Mo chuckled. “A certain someone always says that she doesn’t like the children, but she clearly cares about them a lot.”

If Xia Mo wasn’t driving, Lin Wan would have covered her mouth to make her shut up.

“I don’t. If anything happens to the children at home, Li Yanchen will come after me. That’s all.”

“Don’t you have an Auntie at home to take care of them?” asked Xia Mo. “You are just being stubborn and pretending to be indifferent. Do you really have no feelings for Li Yanchen?”

Yesterday, Lin Wan had told Xia Mo the truth about her marriage with Li Yanchen. Xia Mo was stunned to know about it. It was hard to believe that they hadn’t married for love. It seemed to her that they clearly cared a lot about each other.

Lin Wan denied it but after Li Zekai’s call, she clearly wanted to return home early. Xia Mo was sure that there was something between Lin Wan and Li Yanchen.

“If this isn’t love, then I don’t know what is! I see the way Li Yanchen looks at you. His eyes always twinkle.” While stopping the car at the red traffic light, Xia Mo turned to look at Lin Wan.

“Drive properly.” Lin Wan changed the topic. “I have a lot of things to discuss with you tomorrow. It’s better if you use your intelligence there.”

“What is it? We can still discuss it here. We have time.”

“Not here. Can’t wrap it up in a few words. I can only come to your shop after lunch tomorrow.” Lin Wan’s voice was low as though she was preparing for something big.

Xia Mo nodded.

At Royal Water Bay, Li Zekai was sitting in the yard. He was sitting with Auntie Huang and insisted on listening to her story but in reality, he was waiting for Lin Wan.
