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

114 How Are We Supposed to Spend Our Time Together Like This?

Li Yanchen could not sleep for the entire night. All he could picture was the way they had been together the whole night. This was their first time together. He wondered if Lin Wan could tell that she was his first.

After everything was settled, Li Yanchen wanted to take Lin Wan to see his brother and tell her the whole truth about the children’s background.

When Lin Wan woke up in the morning, Li Yanchen was sitting up, leaning against the bed and staring at her.

She noticed the stain on the bedsheet and her face turned bright red. She had never done this before, so she felt deeply embarrassed.

However, when she recalled Li Yanchen’s performance last night, she realized that it was almost the same as her own. ‘Could this matter be forgotten with the passing of time?’ Lin Wan covered her face with the blanket.

“You are awake. I asked the maid to get a new bed sheet. I don’t think I will have this washed.” He smiled slyly.

Lin Wan was perplexed. She pulled the bedsheets and decided to wash them herself.

However, before she could get up, Li Yanchen pulled her back into his arms. “It’s still early Mrs. Li. Where do you think you are going?” His eyes were two balls of burning passion.

When Li Zekai woke up in the morning, he realized that his father was nowhere to be seen. He looked for him downstairs but couldn’t find him. He walked to the second floor Master Bedroom.

Li Yanchen and Lin Wan hurriedly put on their clothes when they heard the knock.

“The door isn’t locked.” After tidying up his hair and straightening his clothes, Li Yanchen sat down on the sofa at the end of the bed and pretended to pick up a book.

Li Zekai pushed open the door and clenched his little fists.

“Dad, you ran away!” Li Zekai turned to Lin Wan. “Auntie Lin, did he scold you? You look so serious.” He looked at his father and Lin Wan who were trying not to look at each other.

“Let me show you my strength.” The child jumped and sat down on Li Yanchen’s lap with force. The strong impact caused the man’s legs to go numb from the pain. He pursed his lips in agony.

‘Who did I offend?’ His back and thighs were already sore and now he was misunderstood by his son.

Lin Wan looked at Li Yanchen who grimaced. “Jiejie. He didn’t scold me at all. He doesn’t dare. We were only talking.”

“Really?” Li Zekai asked suspiciously.

“Yes,” said Lin Wan. “I am hungry. I am going to wash up and eat some breakfast. Go, wait for me downstairs.” Lin Wan wore her slippers and hid the bedsheet with the blanket.

“I’ll wait for you here.” Li Zekai stood against the wall with his arms crossed.

Li Yanchen was speechless.

Five minutes later, Li Zekai held Lin Wan’s hand and led her downstairs. Li Yanchen looked at them from the sofa in the Master Bedroom in confusion. ‘Is my youngest son trying to help Lin Wan or is he hell-bent on destroying my newly formed relationship? How are we supposed to spend our time together like this?’

Auntie Huang had already prepared breakfast for them. When she didn’t see Li Yanchen, she went upstairs to call him. She saw him sitting on the sofa with a dazed face. “Sir, it’s time to eat. Young masters and Madam are already there.”

Li Yanchen sighed. Just as he reached the stairs, he heard Li Zexin’s hearty laughter. “So, Mr. Li didn’t really make things difficult for Ms. Lin? But Jiejie, his leg must be swollen if you sat on him like that!”

“Can’t you be more civilized? Why are you talking about this at the breakfast table? Jiejie, are you sure you were helping Ms. Lin and not disturbing her and his rest?” Li Zexuan understood because he was a little older than them.

“Dad was reading,” said Li Zekai. “I am sure he woke up a long time ago.”

“The summer camp will begin on 14th of July,” said Li Yanchen. “It will be for two weeks. Assistant Qin has already signed you up. Wait for him to inform you about the time and the place.” Li Yanchen let out a cough.

The tone of the last three words sounded like he was abusing his power for a personal grudge he wanted to settle.

Li Zexin took a bite of the egg. “Two weeks? We still have to participate in the next episode of the live broadcast next month! I will get too tanned by then.”

“Big brother, you’ve always been quite dark.” There was milk at the corner of Li Zekai’s mouth.

“Li Zekai, you’re really asking for a beating.”

If Li Zexin hadn’t mentioned it, Li Yanchen would have forgotten all about the live broadcast that was scheduled for early August. He moved his chair and squeezed next to Lin Wan. “Are we participating together this time too?”

Lin Wan raised her head and almost bumped into his face which was getting closer and closer to her. She pushed him away. “Let’s talk about that after eating.”

“Ms. Lin seems to dislike Mr. Li,” Li Zexin said indifferently.

Li Yanchen stuffed a bun into his second son’s mouth. “You talk too much.”

Auntie Huang could not stop smiling as she looked at the family joking around and eating their breakfast. Before Lin Wan came into this family, they had never been so happy.

After breakfast, Li Yanchen went to the office unwillingly. Even though he wanted to spend more time with Lin Wan at home, he decided to go to Chenxin when his three sons surrounded her and wouldn’t let him near her at all.

Su Wei had just returned from his business trip. Thinking of his promise to Li Yanchen, he gave him a call the moment he got home and asked if he was free to bring the kids out for a meet-up.

Li Yanchen had just turned on his computer in his office when he received a call from Su Wei and decided to go back home.

Assistant Qin was about to report on the work when he saw his boss closing the office door. “Boss, going out?”

“Yes. You and Secretary Han can handle the work matters for today. If there is anything to be signed, send it to my home. Are there any places nearby where parents can take their children so they can play?”

“Oh. Are you taking young masters for an outing?” Assistant Qin was surprised. He had worked in Chenxin and taken care of the Li family matters for so long. But he had never seen Li Yanchen plan a trip or an outing for the young masters. They hadn’t even been to an amusement park together before, let alone scenic spots for the family to hang out.

“Yes. Along with Tutu’s family. I met them on that variety show. You should know them.”

“Ahh… I recommend Tree Hill. It’s best for camping. There are tree houses you can stay in for the night. You can rent a tent if you want to sit by the lake. The children will like it. It is very peaceful. Or you can also go to Pet Paradise where you can look at various animals. Young masters seem to like these two places. You can choose the VIP pack where you will have your own privacy, too.” Assistant Qin had taken care of the three kids ever since they were small. He knew their likes and dislikes like the back of his hands.

“Tree Hill it is, then,” said Li Yanchen at once. “Please make the necessary arrangements for eight people.”

In Jinlin Garden Villa, Xu Xiaoxiao hadn’t seen Su Wei for quite a while. When she heard that he would return, she got up early and waited for him.

Su Wei’s car just entered through the gate when Xu Xiaoxiao ran to him. He got out of the car and hugged her.

“Hubby, you’re back!” Xu Xiaoxiao smiled brightly.

“I have to go to my mom’s for a while,” said Su Wei, holding her hands. “But I have made plans with Li Yanchen and his family for us to hang out together this afternoon.”

Xu Xiaoxiao’s smile froze when she heard that they were visiting the Su family. “Auntie doesn’t like to see me. Why don’t you go and visit her and pick up Tutu on the way?”

“Xiaoxiao, you’ve been avoiding it all this time. I am sure if we visit a little more, my mom will be touched,” said Su Wei. “Since I am taking a few days off, I am going to bring Tutu here.” Su Wei’s mother had called him so many times when he was on his business trip to insist that he spend more time with his son. After considering a lot of things, he decided to bring Tutu here for a few days.
