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

162 I Promise Not to Torment You

Lin Wan sat on the stone bench.

“Ms. Lin, I’ll go get a Starry Sky Flowing Heart Tiramisu.” Li Zexin was impatient.

“I also want to eat a slice.” Li Zekai followed his brother.

Lin Wan and Li Yanchen were the only ones left in the courtyard.

!!

[Xiao Huan, you’ve worked hard!]

[Is Mr. Li’s heart aching for his tired wife? He keeps giving Lin Wan a massage.]

[Did Xiao Huan make desserts for the entire Festival Group? The six-layer baking tray was full!]

[Although Teacher Xia is helping her. As the main chef, she must be very tired.]

Li Yanchen had watched the live broadcast of the Sweet Little Circle. He felt sorry for Lin Wan. However, Lan Village had its limit. He wasn’t allowed to bring a massage chair from home. Hence, he was massaging her shoulders hoping it would help a bit.

“If I only knew how much the Festival Group would make you work, I wouldn’t have kept you awake last night. I promise not to torment you tonight,” he whispered.

“Live broadcast is still going on!” Lin Wan glared at him. “Shut up!”

Li Yanchen smirked. Three seconds later, the two separated.

…

In the office where they had live streamed for Sweet Little Circle, the staff took away the Starry Sky Flowing Heart Tiramisu without hesitation. The mothers of the other three families had returned to their house. Xia Mo was cleaning the oven.

Li Zexin and Li Zekai looked at the empty plates and exchanged glances.

“Brother, where’s the cake?” Li Zekai looked back and forth.

“The staff left and took everything away.” Xia Mo felt that no one was superior to her in baking. However, she had not expected the staff members to take everything!

Li Zekai pouted. “Auntie, you worked so hard. They didn’t even leave you anything?”

Li Zexin looked at the back door from where the staff had left. He wanted to rush and snatch back some of the tiramisu. They had never eaten tiramisu before.

The two returned to the courtyard empty-handed. Li Zexin sat at Lin Wan’s side. “Auntie, next time you do a live broadcast, be more careful.”

Li Zekai nodded.

Even Li Zexuan, who had to strictly control his diet, wanted to berate the staff and snatch back the dessert. Family members should get the chance to fill their stomachs first.

After finishing up, Xia Mo took a small path home from the backyard. When she appeared in her live broadcast room, the bullet screen filled the entire screen.

[Teacher Xia, Teacher Lin isn’t taking in any more disciples. Are you taking disciples? Can I ask to be mentored by you?]

[Sisters, I knew that Xiao Huan was Lin Wan!]

[Xiaxia, thank you for being so close to her and not being affected by the public when everything was under so much controversy.]

[I didn’t know that Xiao Huan had experienced internet violence. From now on, we are all Xiao Huan’s guardians.]

[Only a mother could bring up an extraordinary child like the Wind God. Ms. Xia, I’ll be your fan for the rest of my life.]

Xiao Tianlin put his arm around his wife’s shoulder. He could see the tears in her eyes.

Xiao Yi was also standing behind his mother. The family looked at the comments quietly.

…

Ji Hanzhi went straight to Tao Jingyuan’s house. Zheng Kuo watched the live broadcast.

When they saw their mother arrive, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan ran to her. “Mama, are you tired?”

Ji Hanzhi’s legs were stiff after standing upright for two hours but she perked up when she saw her daughters.

“Teacher Zheng, thank you for looking after them.” She smiled.

Zheng Kuo poured two cups of black tea that he had prepared beforehand. “You’re welcome. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are very obedient. They weren’t any trouble at all.”

“Thank you,” she said. Ji Hanzhi wanted to complain about the Festival Group in the live broadcast room. She wanted to ask why had to torment them for the sake of Lin Wan. But she realized that she still needed to survive in the industry, so she kept her mouth shut.

“You two chat. I’ll go prepare dinner.” Zheng Kuo sat in the livestream room for a few hours, feeling uneasy. “Children, do you want to go pick vegetables? If you do, take the basket.”

The three children were excited. “Okay!”

So, with Zheng Kuo as the leader, the three children carried their small bamboo baskets and went to the vegetable field hand in hand. Only Ji hanzhi and Tao Jingyuan were left in the live broadcast room.

After finishing her cup of tea, Ji Hanzhi returned home.

At Nannan’s house, Michael was already preparing dinner. When he heard Nannan’s voice, he quickly came out of the kitchen.

Wheatley also put down her brush. “Auntie, you’re back! Auntie Lin is so amazing. Can I go to Jiejie’s house? I want to eat cake.”

When Nannan finally came home, Wheatley thought that she did not have to stay in the live-streaming room in the yard. She wanted to go to the Li family house to eat cake.

Nannan was already jealous of Lin Wan. Now that her stepdaughter was praising her, Nannan felt even more displeased. However, in front of the camera, she could not say anything.

“Sure, go ahead. But I don’t think there is any left. Take this for Jiejie and others. You shouldn’t go to someone’s house empty handed.”

Nannan handed her a packet of buns.

“Alright,” said Wheatley. She accepted the buns and skipped to Li family’s house.

[Nannan’s lessons are so good. She is teaching Wheatley to not take other people’s things without giving something back.]

[I just came from the Li family’s live broadcast room. The cake is gone, and the three children of the Li family haven’t had a bite. They’re in the yard now complaining about the Festival Group.]

[Hahahaha, so ruthless. Did the staff take everything away?]

[Yes. Li Zexin said the staff members took everything!]

[Even I can smell the fragrance from the screen, let alone the staff present. If I can eat the desserts made by Xiao Huan by going through the screen, I promise I’ll be the first to snatch them all away too.]

[I ate the Fire and Ice Cream Cake made by Xiao Huan last time. It is a delicacy. So, I sort of understand the Festival Group.]

...

As expected, Wheatley saw three pairs of resentful eyes the moment she entered the Li family’s courtyard.

The little girl was stunned. “I brought some buns. Can a peach flavored bun be exchanged for a piece of cake made by Auntie Lin?”

She stretched out her hands and handed out the buns. The resentment in the three children’s eyes deepened.

Wheatley took a step back. “The cake must have been delicious. Feifei and the others must have come to ask for it too. Of course, Jiejie will be unhappy if everyone comes asking for it. When Auntie Nannan came home, she smelled of delicious cake. I am guessing everything is gone by now?”

“Wheatley, the cake was taken away by the Festival Group staff. We didn’t even get one slice. They are so bad,” said Li Zekai. He had calmed down but was feeling resentful again when Wheatley mentioned.

Wheatley was surprised. “What? They took everything? So petty!”

Li Zekai clenched his little fist. “Wheatley, tomorrow afternoon when Auntie Lin bakes again for the live stream, let’s form a team to protect the dessert.”

Wheatley nodded. “Okay. You can have this anyway. I will ask dad to protect the dessert too.”

Wheatley and Li Zekai discussed many plans.
