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

Chapter 430: Chen Chen, I’m sorry

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yanchen was startled by Lin Wan suddenly appearing under the blanket. Their legs touched, and sparks flew. Li Yanchen got up in a hurry. He needed a break.

Lin Wan became even more certain that she had done something beastly last night.

After he left, she sent him a message: “Chen Chen, I’m sorry. I was drunk last night and can’t remember properly what happened. Please forgive me.”

At Chenxin’s headquarters, Li Yanchen hung a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the office door. He wanted some quiet time to think.

When the message appeared on the main screen, Li Yanchen almost choked on his wolfberry tea. ‘Chen Chen… Who is that? Oh, right! It’s me.’

Li Yanchen felt goosebumps appear on his skin as he read the message.

Lin Wan sent another message: “Chen Chen, this afternoon, I’ll go to the dessert shop and might do a livestream with Xia. You focus on your work. See you in the evening.”

Li Yanchen placed his phone on the table and looked at it. Why was Lin Wan calling him “Chen Chen” today?

He searched online to figure out a reason. He found outrageous claims on the internet. A young wife supposedly became more amiable when she wanted to usurp the business tycoon and steal his inheritance.

Li Yanchen sighed in exasperation. ‘If only I were twenty years old again and could meet the twenty-year-old Lin Wan.’

Although he had doubts about his wife’s motives, Li Yanchen replied: “Sorry for what? It’s fine. See you tonight.”

It turned out that Li Yanchen was just overthinking. Lin Wan was relieved.

After going downstairs, Lin Wan saw Auntie Huang doing some sewing in the courtyard. She approached her. “Auntie Huang, why don’t you turn on the heating?”

Auntie Huang looked up. “The sun is warm today. Let me serve you breakfast.”

‘You sit. I’ll do it myself. By the way, Xinxin won’t be home for dinner tonight.

I’ll eat at Xia Mo’s shop and won’t be back, either.”

“Okay, Wanwan,” said Auntie Huang. “Show me your arm.”

Auntie Huang measured the cloth around Lin Wan’s arm. “Perfect…”

Lin Wan realized that the white pieces of cloth in Auntie Huang’s hand were actually shawls.

“Auntie Huang, I thought sweaters and shawls were knitted with circular needles. I didn’t expect that you sewed them into pieces and then made them into clothes.” Lin Wan had also tried knitting for two days back in Lan Village using circular needles. However, she had given up.

“I created this method myself. I don’t know if it looks good or not.” When

Auntie Huang was young, she was known as the “skillful hands” of the village.

All the girls in the village had learned how to knit sweaters trom her. However, back then, the yarns were not as beautiful as they were now.

Back in her room, Lin Wan took out the small piece of clothing she had knitted and showed it to Auntie Huang. “Auntie Huang, do you think there’s any hope for this? Mr. Li said that he doesn’t have hope that he will be able to wear the sweater I knit in this lifetime.”

Auntie Huang laughed. “Madam, you did a good job. You just lack a bit of patience. I’ll finish it for you.”

“No, I’ll do it together with you. I’ll eat something first, and then you can teach me. I’ll knit a little every day. I should be able to finish it before New Year’s

Eve.”

“Alright.”

So, the whole morning, Lin Wan and Auntie Huang sat in the courtyard and knitted sweaters.

At noon, Lin Wan asked Auntie Huang to cook her a bowl of shredded pork with pickled vegetables. After eating, she went to Xia Mo ts shop.

Even before opening the store, there was already a long line at the dessert shop every day. After revealing her identity as the anonymous dessert chef, Lin Wan didn’t bother to hide herself anymore. She walked in without reservations.

If she encountered fans asking for autographs, she would gladly stop and do it for them.

Xia MO posted a notice in the morning and announced that Sweet Little Circle would be returning.

The comments erupted:

[It’s been a month, and I can finally see Sweet Little Circle’s livestream again.]

[Teacher Xia, will the Sweet Little Circle continue its livestream every day or is it just for today?]

[Ahhh! Sweet Little Circle is returning!] [Sister Lin, you finally remembered us.]

[I’ll take the afternoon off to watch the livestream.]

[Please come to the live stream often. We really miss you.]

[Is this the first time Lin Wan has shown up since leaving Lan Village?] [No, I watched Chenxin’s year-end party yesterday, and Lin Wan was there.] Xia MO’s announcement became popular in less than an hour.

In half a year, the dessert shop expanded from three storefronts to six storefronts. Fans who came from far away often sent private messages to Xia MO and asked if she wanted to change the name of the shop.

Xia MO’s shop clearly wasn’t small anymore. However, she had already registered the name and didn’t want all the hassle of changing it.

The shop’s staff had grown from the initial three to fifteen, and there were even offices with clear divisions of labor: technology, administration, procurement, etc.

The staff called Xia MO “President Xia.”

Lin Wan parked her car in the dessert shop’s reserved parking space. As soon as she got out of the car, fans recognized her.

The long queue instantly dispersed, and the fans surrounded Lin Wan.

“Everyone, please spread out a bit,” someone in the crowd shouted. “Let’s line up like before. Sister Wan has always signed autographs for us. Crowding in this manner might overwhelm her.”

“Yeah, you all line up. I’ll sign autographs for you,” said Lin Wan.

The crowd quickly dispersed and lined up like they did before.

Lin Wan took a deep breath. “Who has a pen? Can you lend me one?”

Several dozen hands stretched out.

Lin Wan picked one and tried to remember who it belonged to. She then started signing autographs for them one by one.

“I’m so lucky! I actually met Lin Wan today!”

“Lin Wan is so beautiful in person. I’ve never seen anyone this beautiful

Detore.”

“Visit the Sweetheart Inn a little more often. It’s full of surprises. Maybe you’ll encounter Xinxin next time.”

“The kids are all at school. It’s possible to run into them during the holidays.” “I’m going to camp outside the Sweetheart Inn and queue up every day.” “Aren’t you working? How do you have so much time on your hands?”

“I’m a freelancer. By the way, does anyone want to join the Sweet Little Circle group chat? Whenever Lin Wan appears, we can announce it in the group, and anyone within a three-kilometer radius can come to see her.”

“Even those of us outside the three-kilometer radius want to join the group.”

Lin Wan’s hand started to feel numb from all the signing. She decided to get a signature stamp for herself. With the number of fans always increasing for the Sweet Little Circle, signing one by one was becoming tiring.

Xia MO came out to greet her. “You have worked hard, Wanwan.”

Lin Wan smiled. “It’s my duty to serve the fans.”

“Lin Wan is so kind. I feel like we are being too much.”

“You’re right. Being able to see her is enough. We shouldn’t be crowding her and asking for autographs every day..”
