Wheatley hugged Nannan. “Mom,” she called.
“Yes, daughter,” said Nannan softly.
[I heard Wheatley calling Nannan “mom”. It’s so touching. I am crying. Who knew stepmothers had it so tough, especially when children are so sensitive? It’s really difficult to accept someone new as a parent and to accept someone as a child.]
[I had a stepmother. My mother passed away in high school and my father married his current wife. I couldn’t accept that woman for a long time until the day of the college entrance examination. She waited for me outside the examination hall with a bunch of sunflowers in her arms. She picked the sunflowers herself. Her love was pure. I called her “mom” for the first time that day.]
[I also had a stepmother. I might be luckier than most of you because when my mother passed away and my father remarried, we readily accepted her. It wasn’t only because she loved us but also because we wanted her to be happy with our father. Now they are in their seventies. My brother and I are out of town most of the time, and we are glad that our stepmother and father are together to take care of each other.]
[My husband and I divorced a while back. Our daughter is just two years old. I don’t know if I should remarry because I feel like it will be difficult for my daughter to accept a stepfather.]
[My family used to say that loving stepparents are better than irresponsible biological parents. My biological father used to get drunk and beat my mother. When I was in junior high, my mother couldn’t take it anymore and she divorced him. By the time I reached high school, she remarried. My stepfather was always gentle and loving. We are all very happy now.]
[Congratulations to the person. I am so glad you found a good home. Whether it is Lin Wan or Nannan, I see that both have built a bond with the children and love them dearly.]
[Lin Wan and the little ones really went from disliking each other to accepting each other. She showed us that there’s a possibility of change in a relationship as long as you put in the effort.]
[Nannan and Wheatley have always been so good to each other, but Wheatley never called Nannan “mom” until now. This means Wheatley has now completely accepted Nannan.]
[Nannan was afraid that we would see Wheatley crying, so she turned the camera around. She is always thinking of Wheatley’s comfort.]
Very soon, Nannan and Wheatley were on the hot search.
Nannan received a call from the largest children’s clothing manufacturer in the country. They wanted to sign Nannan as the spokesperson for their brand.
There were also other companies dealing with learning machines and kids’ toys, and they wanted to sign Nannan as their spokesperson. From six in the evening, Nannan’s phone was ringing nonstop.
Wheatley gradually calmed down. Michael adjusted the camera to begin interacting with the viewers. His eyes were red.
[Michael, cherish Nannan.]
[She is only in her twenties. She has taken over such a big responsibility. She is attentive to Wheatley’s needs and focuses on her work as well. She is a great woman!]
[A child who knows how to be grateful will always do good in life. Wheatley, you are a good kid.]
“Wheatley is a sensible child, and Nannan is gentle and generous. They are the most important people in my life. Thank you for your blessings,” said Michael.
At the seaside, the two couples who had finished taking photos gathered.
Xiao Tianlin lowered his head to look at his tuxedo. His belly was bulging. He looked at Li Yanchen, who was already in his late thirties, yet showed no signs of gaining any weight. He felt self-conscious.
“Brother Li, how does it feel to be a groom again?” Xiao Tianlin asked, covering his belly with his left hand.
“Excellent.” Li Yanchen was all smiles. He held Lin Wan’s hand even tighter.
He understood what Xiao Tianlin meant. Everyone thought he had remarried after the death of his first wife. Only Lin Wan and the children knew the truth about his life.
“Old Xiao, you’ve really gained weight. Your clothes can’t cover your belly anymore,” said Li Yanchen jokingly.
Xiao Tianlin was speechless. Lin Wan and Xia MO were also shocked. ‘Li Yanchen could joke?’
“Mr. Li, I suspect you’re mocking my Xiao,” Xia Mo.
“Absolutely not,” said Lin Wan. “Xiaxia, you look gorgeous.”
“Right?” said Xia Mo. “Don’t I still have my charm?” Xia MO twirled once.
“You do!” Lin Wan nodded enthusiastically.
“Can the guests change back into their clothes?” asked a staff member. “We will need to rush back to Lan Village in a while.”
After returning to the tents, the four of them changed into their previous clothes and got on the staff to head back to Lan Village.
The live broadcast was turned back on again.
[What’s going on? I only saw the tents, and then the screen went black. The livestream was closed off.]
[So, what happened in the two hours? Why didn’t they show us?]
[Maybe it wasn’t convenient to live broadcast whatever they did. Are they going to eat the seafood feast now, or are they already done?]
Lin Wan and Xia MO were seated in the front, while Xiao Tianlin and Li Yanchen sat at the back.
The voice in the live broadcast room was very soft and low. No one could hear what they talked about.
“Why didn’t they arrange for an RV?” Xia MO asked.
“The Beautiful Bride must have an RV, I think,” said Lin Wan.
Xiao Tianlin grabbed the back of Xia MO’s seat. “Honey, I am not eating dinner today. I want to lose weight.”
Xia MO was speechless.
“It isn’t because of what Brother Li said,” said Xiao Tianlin. “I realized that I really do need to lose some weight. Otherwise, I will soon need to find 4XL clothes to fit me.” Xiao Tianlin chuckled.
Xia MO didn’t believe him, but she wanted to be supportive. “But you still need to eat,” she said. “I will make you something healthy and low in calories.” “Alright,” said Xiao Tianlin “Thank you, wifey.” He smiled.
Lin Wan and Li Yanchen also addressed each other as “honey”, “hubby” or “wifey” occasionally. Still, they felt that Xiao Tianlin and Xia MO did it so naturally. It didn’t even matter to them if outsiders were around.
Lin Wan cleared her throat. “Hubby, I want to eat fish tonight.”
Everyone was stunned. They covered their mouths and tried not to laugh. Lin Wan’s face turned red. She quickly lowered her head in embarrassment.
“Sure, wifey,” said Li Yanchen gently.
Xia MO put her arm around Lin Wan’s shoulder. “I know you two always address each other with terms of endearment in private. Why do you sound so embarrassed doing it here?”
Lin Wan shook off Xia MO’s hand.
“Honey, do you want some water?” Li Yanchen asked suddenly, as though trying to prove that they could address each other in front of others just as easily.
Lin Wan felt a chill down her spine.
It was already dark at seven at night. Li Zekai, who had been playing with Feifei happily, looked up at the dark sky. He suddenly missed his father.
The little child looked in the direction of the village entrance. “When will daddy come back?”
Feifei stood next to Li Zekai. “Jiejie, do you miss daddy? Do you want to call him?”
Li Zekai wanted to call his father, but the staff from Festival Group had told him that his parents wanted some alone time. So, he didn’t want to disturb them.
“I don’t want to disturb daddy,” said Li Zekai and shook his head..
