Chapter 219: The Wheel of Fortune

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Wan was very confused. ‘Why is Li Zexuan serving me food?’

Li Zekai picked up a spoon and scooped up a big portion of corn for Lin Wan.

Li Yanchen was also stunned.

He had worked so hard to prepare this. Shouldn’t they serve some of the food to him too? His two sons didn’t even glance at him.

He pushed his bowl forward.

Li Zekai and Li Zexuan pretended not to see. They started eating after serving the food to Lin Wan.

[Mr. Li must be so tired. He’s jealous of Luo Xi outside his home. Inside, he is jealous of Lin Wan, who gets all the special treatment from his sons.]

[Mr. Li, are you asking to be shown some concern? The Wheel of Fortune has turned. Xuanxuan never gave his attention to anyone in the past.]

[Someone, please show Mr. Li some love already.]

[Xuanxuan, please pay attention to the mental health of the elderly.]

[Elderly? @Previous Poster, you are too mean.]

Li Zexuan reluctantly put some vegetables in his father’s bowl. “Eat more vegetables. It’s good for the skin.”

Li Yanchen was appalled.

“Ms. Lin, do you have any plans after lunch? If you are free, I can teach you to play guitar. I don’t even need fruit tea in exchange this time,” said Li Zexuan.

Lin Wan was eating the corn while pondering why her two stepsons acted so strange today. She couldn’t hear what Li Zexuan said.

“Hm? What?”

Li Zexuan repeated his words again.

“Oh… please tell me,” said Lin Wan. “Are you two really fine? I feel worried.”

“Auntie Lin, we don’t want you to be Jian Jia’s mother. Brother knows that he didn’t treat you well before, so he is trying to be better now. Can you please just be our Auntie forever?” said Li Zekai.

Lin Wan looked at the both of them in disbelief. “Just that?”

They nodded.

[I see.]

[Sister Wan is silent. Are you touched?]

[When I was young, my parents had to go out to work. I used to be very obedient because I thought they wouldn’t leave and spend more time with me.]

[I really feel that children from rich families are quite sensitive.]

Lin Wan did not speak for a while.

Li Zekai thought he had said something wrong and didn’t know how to correct his mistake. “Auntie, it’s not that I don’t know how to share. But how can I be okay sharing you with others? When Jian Jia asked me how to get a mother, I told him about the Red Book. If I had known he was trying to take you away, I

wouldn’t have told him that people can get married with the Red Book and that it only costs a little bit of money.”

Lin Wan put down her chopsticks and patted the little boy’s head. “You little fool… so you were the one who told that kid about the Red Book? Even you know that you can’t share certain things with others. Do you think I don’t know that?”

Lin Wan’s hand was warm. Li Zekai’s small hands held hers. “Auntie, then you won’t go to Jian Jia’s house and live with them?”

“Nonsense. Why would I ever do that? I won’t. So, can you guys be normal once again?” she said.

“We’re normal. Auntie. You are skinny. Eat more. Daddy has made the food very delicious today,” said Li Zekai happily. He could finally eat in peace.

Li Zexuan smiled faintly.

[I’m so touched!]

[If you have anything to say in the future, just say it directly. It’s good this way.]

[Mr. Li was feeling quite sour these few days. I hope Lin Wan made him feel better by saying that.]

[Mr. Li must be very happy at the moment because his wife made her stand clear.]

[Lin Wan was always clear about where she stood.]

After lunch, Li Yanchen washed the plates.

Li Zexuan was in the courtyard teaching Lin Wan how to play the guitar.

Lin Wan studied it very seriously. Before she could finish the song, there was an announcement on the radio. “All families, please gather at the field at two in the afternoon.”

Everyone guessed that there was going to be a new mission. The children were very happy to hear about the task.

Li Zekai, who had been preparing to take a nap, heard the announcement and jumped up. He stuck his head out of the window, “Dad, there’s a new mission.

Is it a competition again?”

‘Competition?’ Li Yanchen was filled with energy at the word. After winning two consecutive times, he was confident in himself.

“Maybe. We still have time. You can take a short nap.” Li Yanchen wiped his hands.

“Please wake me up in half an hour, daddy,” said Li Zekai as he lay back down on the bed.

In Xiao Yi’s house, Xiao Tianlin heard the announcement, and he trembled in dread. “Please, not another competition!” he muttered.

Xiao Yi was about to go back to his room to nap when he heard his father muttering. “Dad, do you have trauma from what happened today?”

Xiao Tianlin didn’t want to compete with anyone ever again, but he didn’t want to lose face in front of his son. “No, son. I am fine! I am still full of fighting spirit. You have to learn from this. Don’t be discouraged, no matter how many times you fail.”

“Dad, I rarely fail,” said Xiao Yi. “But you are right. Don’t be discouraged. Maybe the next match will be what you are good at.”

Xiao Tianlin was speechless. The child was really straightforward.

Xia MO heard the conversation between father and son. “Son, don’t agitate your dad.”

Xiao Yi went to his room.

“Shall we go out for a walk?” asked Xia Mo. She understood her husband. He didn’t want to compete with anyone, but he was still trying to encourage his son and trying to act cheerful in front of him. Therefore, she wanted to talk to him and make him feel better.

Xiao Tianlin also felt that he needed to uplift his mood. “Alright. Taking a walk after eating is good for health. It will keep us fit.”

Xia MO encouraged her husband as they walked around, and they only returned home half an hour later.

At Jian Jia’s house, Luo Xi heard the announcement. He felt neither excited nor indifferent. The missions were okay. They were like mini-games.

Jian Jia, on the other hand, was eager. “Dad, is this mission a competition too?”

“Maybe,” said Luo Xi. “Are you nervous?”

The little boy shook his head. “I am not nervous. Daddy is powerful and strong. He won’t lose to anyone. But it’s fine to lose sometimes. Because, in my heart, you will always be the winner.”

Luo Xi lifted the child in his arms. “You are the best son ever.”

Everyone in the live broadcast room was moved by their interaction.

[Sisters, let’s have a fair competition. I’ll send a private message to Luo Xi first.]

[I’ve already sent a lot of messages.]

[Are you guys crazy? Do you really think he will read your messages?]

[Just give up. There are more than a hundred branches of Mumu Time Café. There must be so many beautiful employees who get to see him every day. How do you even have a chance?]

[You can always dream. What if it comes true someday?]

In Jian Jia’s live broadcast room, the comments were so different from that of other families’ broadcast rooms.

At Feifei’s house, they heard about the mission.

“Kuo, have we ever won a competition before?” Tao Jingyuan asked, resting her chin on her hand.

Zheng Kuo thought about it. Right from the second episode, their family seemed to be the lowest in popularity.

“Hmm, maybe I will try harder this time. But we don’t know what the mission is,” said Zheng Kuo. He wanted to perform well this time.

“I’ll do my best, too!” Tao Jingyuan had no intention to win before this. But, after watching the basketball match and seeing how everyone tried so hard, she wanted to try harder to set a positive example.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, my wife.” Zheng Kuo smiled warmly.

[Teacher Zheng is going to work hard! All the best!]

[The Festival Group should at least have a mission that is tailored for our Feifei’s family, right? It’s always a competition for physical strength. That’s not fair.]

[Yes! If you have the galls, try your hand at making something nice.]

[I am guessing this competition is for the children since the adults already had their missions twice.]

[Who knows?]
