What kind of experience was it to watch gossip as a bystander only to find that it was actually about your own idol?

Ding Qiuqiu was a veteran fan of Yunjuan Yunshu, a first-line1 bigshot in the livestream industry. Ding Qiuqiu was also known with her internet handle name: 'Have our group stolen the cub today?' As her handle name said, she had a rather eccentric personality.

Ding Qiuqiu was an avid hand fetish. After coincidentally entering Yunyun's channel more than three years ago, she was instantly hooked by the flawless hands exposed by the streamer. Even if the content of the livestream was not of interest to Ding Qiuqiu, she never tired of watching it every day and even shared the channel with many mutual fans.

They didn't need anything. Just looking at those hands was enough to make them satisfied, which was the biggest benefit of being a hand fetish.

Later, Yunyun's cute baby made his debut, and Ding Qiuqiu's hidden trait of a cute fetish emerged. On the one hand, she enjoyed watching Yunyun's hands every day. On the other hand, she screamed silly upon the baby's cuteness. Her feeling was exactly the same as her handle name: every day, she couldn't wait to steal the cub and take him home for herself.

She was one of Yunyun's first batch fans. It could be said that she had watched Yunyun grow from a novice streamer to a well-known figure with millions of loyal fans. Because of this, Ding Qiuqiu also had a kind of motherly affection for Yunyun.

As a veteran fan who was dragged into the pit by a pair of beautiful hands, Ding Qiuqiu could say with perfect confidence that she remembered the exact shape and line of Yunyun's hands clearly. She and her fellow fans were probably more familiar with Yunyun's hands than Yunyun herself.

Ding Qiuqiu was usually active on the livestream forum, but occasionally went to other social media to search for gossip as an idle spectator. A few days ago, when the photos of a beautiful rural girl were circulating on the internet, she was busy working overtime and missed the commotion. She finally got some free time tonight and found that the internet was particularly lively these few days, so she began to watch for gossip with great interest.

Seeing the overwhelming one-sided attack towards a regular person, Ding Qiuqiu didn't add anything, but just reading the malicious comments made her feel bad enough, as if she had done something devoid of conscience. Halfway through the browsing, she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore, so she went to bed. The next day, Ding Qiuqiu remembered yesterday's gossip and picked up her mobile phone first time in the morning. As a result, the wind direction changed drastically in just one night, with a clear trend reversal.

When she clicked on the video on the trending topics, Ding Qiuqiu's first reaction was to look at the hands that appeared in the video, and then—

"?!"

Ding Qiuqiu was instantly stunned. It's her idol, Yunyun!

The gossip she was watching was about her idol!

Ding Qiuqiu was a big fan among fans, and she was very active in her community. Many fans paid attention to the news she sent, and she was also a manager of several fan groups.

As soon as Ding Qiuqiu's post came out, other fans asked teasingly whether she was secretly changing allegiance.

Instead of replying, Ding Qiuqiu directly took screenshots of the video and posted them all at once. Then she also turned over the photos and short videos taken from the deleted livestream and posted them in the group.

For a moment, everyone was silent. Then, countless exclamation marks mixed with shocked comments immediately filled the screen.

[It's really!]

[It's really Yunyun! I had a vague feeling when I saw the video, but I was not sure before!]

[Me too…]

[Fuck! Yunyun is indeed more beautiful than I imagined!]

[The epitome of beauty!]

[I knew Yunyun is very, very, very, veeeeeery beautiful!]

[Me too!]

[From today, I announce that Yunyun has officially become my wife, thank you.]

Yunyun only showed her hands and occasionally her figure during the lifestream, so it might be hard for most of her fans to connect the beauty who dominated the trending topics list these past few days with her. But the angle of the screenshots Ding Qiuqiu sent to the group was inexplicably similar to the ones they were familiar with.

The fans burned their detective spirit and began to compare. Oh my God, these hands are the same as Yunyun's! This beauty is indeed their Yunyun!

The screenshots were immediately circulated among several thousand fans, who began to excitedly marvel at their idol's beauty. Most of the fans, who originally were brother fans and sister fans, immediately announced that they had become husband fans and wife fans.2. Yunyun had always refused to show her true face, so they could only imagine it out of thin air. Now, God seemed to be on their side, showing Yunyun's face and identity for them!

Today was definitely a festival day for them, Yunjuan Yunshu fan group!

The fans were busy admiring their idol's beauty when someone suddenly realized that the situation was wrong.

[Wait, is it time to admire the beauty?]

[…]

[…]

Countless dots filled the screen as the rest of the fans finally remembered. What the fuck, their Yunyun was bullied by others. What were they still doing? They must roll up their sleeves and fight back for Yunyun!

Fu Yunruo also encountered haters and antis on her road to popularity, but her fan composition was not the same as the majority of livestreamers. This might be related to the fact that Fu Yunruo's livestream content was about orchids, the flower that had been a symbol of elegance and nobility since ancient times. Because this flower had always been favored by people with literary reputations, raising orchids had been known as an elegant art. Except for the real lovers, only those with both money and leisure time would raise orchids as a hobby.

Therefore, among Fu Yunruo's fans, wealthy people accounted for a considerable proportion, and many were genuinely filthy rich. They often sent private messages to Fu Yunruo, wanting to buy orchids at a high price, sometimes with photos of large private orchid gardens attached.

At Fu Yunruo's insistence, her fans seldom sent generous gifts during the livestream broadcast. But once haters or antis began to attack Fu Yunruo, they didn't bother to even argue and directly sent gifts that immediately sent Fu Yunruo to the top of the popularity list on the homepage.

1. In Chinese, the star's ranking is called 'line,' with first-line = first rank.

Brother/sister/husband/wife fans: fans 'claiming' their idol as their family. Of course, not genuinely so. I.e., "This singer is my husband!"

At Fu Yunruo's insistence, her fans seldom sent generous gifts during the livestream broadcast. But once haters or antis began to attack Fu Yunruo, they didn't bother to even argue and directly sent gifts that immediately sent Fu Yunruo to the top of the popularity list on the homepage.

Most of Fu Yunruo's fans were of working age, and many were even of grandparents age. These people had independent financial ability and their own sense of proportion, so they could not be easily misled.

Each time a malicious comment was sent, there would be twice the rebuttals, complete with reason and evidence that made the opponents lose their words and doubt their lives. In addition to reasoning, there were hackers who directly went to plant viruses on the haters' electronic equipment and lawyers who made their appearance using legal languages. In the end, those paid haters and antis would rather return the money than take this order. These fans were too scary — there were real lawyers, and more than one or two at that!

Following this lesson, other livestreamers in the industry were all very friendly to Fu Yunruo, and not even their most brainless fans dared to do something that might offend her. Of course Fu Yunruo herself kept a low profile and never initiated troubles. As long as others did not provoke them first, Fu Yunruo's fans were basically a bunch of friendly and easy-going folks.

And such fans now found out that their Yunyun had been bullied without them knowing any better, and was bullied so badly on top of that!

In an instant, the well-connected fans immediately inquired their contacts to find out the details of the situation, while the wealthy fans directly ordered their subordinates to check the truth of the matter. In less than thirty minutes, the basic information about Fu Yunruo was presented to them.

When Fu Yunruo became a livestreamer under Yunjuan Yunshu alias, she kept her identity secret. Her fans respected her privacy and never deliberately inquired. Now that her real identity had been exposed, some wealthy fans found that she seemed to be in the same social circle as them. Although they had heard her name before, they were not familiar with her.

After the fans finished reading the information they collected, they shared it among themselves and quickly figured out the first twenty years of Fu Yunruo's life experience. Then, after the fans corresponded the information in their hands with the information in the video…they instantly boiled in rage!

They were all old seasoned foxes; how could they not see the problem? So it turned out that their Yunyun had been so miserable before!

No one protected Yunyun when she was bullied in the past, but it was different now. Whoever wanted to bully their Yunyun had to pass their dead bodies first!

Not long after, various trending tags emerged one after another.

#ProsperousLotusXuelian#

#FangXueruoIsNotAThirdParty#

#FangXueruoAndChangZhuyouIsANaturalCouple#

#FangXueruoWhoWasBulliedByAViciousStepsister#

#TheMiserableLifeOfAMotherAndDaughterWhoMarriedIntoAWealthyFamily#

The top nineteen tags on the trending topics list list were all about Fang Xueruo. Those new tags were very organized, with only one video that steadily occupied the top spot without wavering.

The Clouddust 1 expressed: since you are so kind to send our Yunyun on the trending topics list, it is just proper for us to reciprocate with courtesy!

Indeed, all of those tags were about Fang Xueruo, but the comments accompanying the tags seemed to be off.

[#ProsperousLotusXuelian# Oh-ho, so her original name was actually Fang Xuelian? I laughed so hard that I almost fell from my chair, hahahahaha.]

[#ProsperousLotusXuelian# This name matches her so well!]

[#FangXueruoIsNotAThirdParty#How can you say that Miss Fang is a third party? She is just in love and cannot help it! Don't be so cruel, heartless, and unreasonable, alright?]

[#FangXueruoAndChangZhuyouIsANaturalCouple# Today is another day to envy the legendary love between a well-known actress and an n-th generation rich man.]

[#TheMiserableLifeOfAMotherAndDaughterWhoMarriedIntoAWealthyFamily# To be honest, I also want to experience such a 'miserable' life.]

As a couple, Fang Xueruo and Chang Zhuyou had also been on the trending topics list many times before, such as whenever Chang Zhuyou did something romantic to Fang Xueruo. Many people liked to follow their news to eat the dog food they spread around. But this time, when people clicked on the tags and took a look, they suddenly felt that the dog food was not delicious at all?

[Ah, today is another day to cheer for a certain couple's beautiful love! Please stay with each other forever and do not go to harm innocent people!]

[Sister Xuexue is really like her name, pure white like a snow lotus2. In the entire world, only Chang Zhuyou is worthy of you!]

[What a natural couple! A perfect match! This pair of scumbag and bitc—…excuse me, a pair of golden boy and jade maiden is really a match made in heaven. Please be sure to stay together forever!]

After reading the comments, people began to watch the video…

The video told a story about a stepmother and her daughter, then also a story about a girl who fought for a man with her stepsister…it was an exciting behind-the-scene gossip about a wealthy family, and starring the famous Movie Empress Fang Xueruo on top of that. The amount of information provided by this video corresponded to the comments on the trending tags below and provided a stark contrast.

So the Fu family actually still had another young miss? Fang Xueruo's mother was a stepmother, and she brought Fang Xueruo with her marriage into Fu family, so Fang Xueruo was just a stepdaughter…

It turned out that Chang Zhuyou was the fiancé of the real daughter of Fu family, but he later hooked up with Fang Xueruo…

[If you have a stepmother, you will also have a stepfather. Ancient people indeed said it correctly.]

[Like a mother, like a daughter! The real daughter was bullied by the stepmother and was forced to hide in the remote village, yet Fang Xueruo refuses to let her go!]

Folks inherently liked to gossip about wealthy people's scandals, and many netizens went to dig up more juicy details. In no time, the past that Fang mother and daughter pair tried hard to downplay was dug up and exposed.

Oh, I heard that the Eldest Miss born from the late first wife was very vicious and liked to bully her stepmother and stepsister since a young age. Many people in the wealthy circle knew that Mother Fang was a good wife and good mother, while Fang Xueruo was gentle and strong. It was Fu Yunruo alone who was extremely vicious.

But what vicious thing did you say she did? She bullied her stepsister and stepmother! If not, how could her ex-fiancé scold her for being stupid and vicious, and then pity her poor stepsister?

However, in fact, the so-called bullied people actually had a very good life. One enjoyed the life of a wealthy madam with a good reputation, while the other relied on Fu and Chang family as her backing to have a prosperous career in the entertainment industry.

And the so-called 'bully' could only hide in a remote mountainous village and make a living by growing flowers.

1. Cloud refers to Fu Yunruo fans. Since the 'Yun' in her stage name Yunjuan Yunshu means 'Cloud.'

Snow lotus: Xuelian.

But what vicious thing did you say she did? She bullied her stepsister and stepmother! If not, how could her ex-fiancé scold her for being stupid and vicious, and then pity her poor stepsister?

However, in fact, the so-called bullied people actually had a very good life. One enjoyed the life of a wealthy madam with a good reputation, while the other relied on Fu and Chang family as her backing to have a prosperous career in the entertainment industry.

And the so-called 'bully' could only hide in a remote mountainous village and make a living by growing flowers.

[I suddenly feel sick…]

[Me too…]

Everyone stared at the names that frequently occupied the trending topics with their love stories. But at this moment, the spectators only felt that the name 'legendary couple' was actually bullshit, and the dog food they had been eating until now suddenly made them nauseous.

A large number of Snowballs came to make a commotion, but in front of the powerful Clouddust, they were as weak and vulnerable as little chickens.

[Xuexue is not a third party! She and Young Master Chang are in true love! True love is innocent!]

[Yeah, how can you say she is a third party? So unreasonable! Xuexue is so pure and kind. How can you slander her?]

[Oh, I wish your boyfriend could find his true love too. You have to bless them sincerely. After all, true love is innocent!]

[Well, someone like her must be a single dog, so there is no boyfriend whatsoever. But anyway, if one day your father brings his true love to your mother, you have to persuade your mother to give them her blessing! That isn't cheating; that is your father's true love. True love is innocent!]

Following that were a bunch of comments, all with the same sarcastic tone.

The passersby were watching with wide eyes. OMG, where did these fans come from? Their tongues were so sharp!

Thanks to the constant stream of fresh and juicy content, passersby couldn't stop watching the 'online war' with relish.

These sharp and sarcastic comments were too eye-opening!

Where did these people come from, and why did they suddenly speak for Fu Yunruo? Oh, it turned out they came from the livestreaming circle. What? It turned out that Fu family's real Eldest Miss grew flowers in the deep mountain village and started to do livestream in order to make a living, but she became very popular as a result!

Fu Yunruo was the first-line livestreamer Yunjuan Yunshu!

The video that went viral some time ago was made by her! And that flower was also grown by her…

Fu Yunruo was that beautiful rural girl from before! She was very beautiful! And she also talked very sharply in the video. Sure enough, like the idol, like the fans!

The melon-eating spectators1 flocked to Fu Yunruo's livestream channel out of curiosity, which soared her popularity for a while.

Fu Yunruo's fans divided themselves into three groups to handle this matter. The first group consisted of sharp-tongued fans, who filled the social media with sarcastic comments attacking Fang Xueruo, Mother Fang, and Chang Zhuyou. The second group consisted of filthy rich fans, who supported their beloved Yunyun by paying money to put the comments made by the first group into the top of the trending topics list. As for the last group, they consisted of middle-aged and elderly fans who didn't make any direct splash but instead went to call either their students, old friends, or younger generation in their family with an order to ban Fang Xueruo's jobs.

Of course, Fang Xueruo still didn't know that her resources in the entertainment industry were about to shrink significantly. At this moment, she was fuming over the situation on the internet. These trending tags, this video — no matter how much she spent, she couldn't take them down at all, even when she took out Chang's and Fu's names.

Fang Xueruo almost went crazy. She called the person who took the video that day, but couldn't get through. Fang Xueruo couldn't believe that the person actually didn't destroy the video and even published it online.

Fang Xueruo was so angry that she smashed her phone. How dare he!

In that case, don't blame her for being cruel!

Fang Xueruo picked up the phone and was about to make a call when her agent suddenly called; her voice lost her usual composure: "The material in the safe is gone!"

"What?" Fang Xueruo's expression suddenly changed. The reason she used that person to do many things for her was that she had his blackmailing materials in her hand. This made her unafraid of his betrayal. But it turned out that he took refuge under someone else! No wonder! Fang Xueruo's first thought was Si Yue. These trending topics, these water army — must have something to do with Si Yue. Except for him, no one was against her so much!

Fang Xueruo said coldly, "Can you find out who did it? Check Si Yue too…"

Fang Xueruo was halfway through her instruction when another call came in. When she saw the caller id, she immediately said to her agent: "Okay, check it out quickly and tell me the result. I still have something to do."

Fang Xueruo hung up her agent and immediately answered the new call: "Mom…" Her voice was aggrieved. But after hearing the reply from the phone receiver, her eyes suddenly lit up…

…

Fu Zonghong felt that his company employees were a bit strange today. Usually when he walked past the office area, the employees worked hard to avoid his sight, for fear of being noticed. But today, he somehow felt that the employees frequently glanced at him with strange eyes.

When Fu Zonghong glanced back, all the employees quickly avoided his sight and lowered their heads to work seriously.

Fu Zonghong walked to the elevator in confusion, waiting for his executive assistant to press the floor button. Fu Zonghong looked down at himself and asked: "Is there anything wrong with me today?"

The executive assistant touched his glasses and replied: "Chairman Fu, there is nothing wrong with you."

Fu Zonghong's brows wrinkled, outlining the contour of his face. As the elevator door dinged open, he stopped asking and entered the elevator with the executive assistant.

After the elevator door was closed, a staff member quickly put down the document in his hand and asked the colleague next to his desk, "Hey, do you think what is said on the internet is true?"

"I think it's ninety percent true…"

Another colleague also came over, "I really can't tell. When Madam Fu came to the company before, she looked very gentle and kind."

"I always thought that the current Madam Fu is the Chairman's only wife. I also thought that they only have one daughter, the Movie Empress Fang."

This staff member had just joined the company for two years. Before this, she always looked up to Chairman Fu and Madam Fu's love with envy and assumed that Fang Xueruo was using her mother's surname as a stage name as an actress.

But it turned out that Fu family still had another daughter, who was the real eldest miss!

1. Melon-eating spectators: people who are not fully clear about what's going on but are interested in the event.

A veteran employee who had worked in the company for more than four years knew a bit more information than the newcomers: "Chairman Fu seems to dislike this Eldest Miss. Every time she comes to the company, they frequently end up in a big argument."

Another veteran employee chimed in: "Yes, every time someone mentions Eldest Miss Fu in front of Chairman Fu, he always gets very angry. Over time, no one dares to mention her anymore, just like a plague."

In fact, if not for the sudden commotion on the internet, they wouldn't have remembered that there was such a person. When the staff saw this eldest miss on the internet again, they were a bit dazed, and it took them a while to pull out the memory of this person from the depths of distant memory. However, the image of Fu family's eldest miss in their memory had long been blurred.

They had only met this Eldest Miss Fu a few times before, and now that more than four years had passed, it was normal for the memory to fade. Looking back now, they only remembered that they seemed to hate this Eldest Miss Fu a lot at that time, and the most profound memory left was their disgust towards her.

So this eldest miss actually looked like this? It was only this time they finally remembered her clearly. In a daze, they began to ponder. Why did they actually hate this eldest miss before? It was as if their disgust was actually unfounded.

Because she was always hysterical? Because she was always entangled herself with Young Master Chang? Because it was her fault that the kind and gentle Miss Fang couldn't be together with the person she liked?

Eh? But it seemed that Young Master Chang was still Eldest Miss Fu's fiance at that time! Something didn't seem right?

One of them said weakly: "It seems…"

"Well…"

"Cough!" At this moment, a stern-looking manager coughed slightly, and the entire office area suddenly became quiet. Having been caught gossiping about the big boss in public, all the staff had a guilty conscience. They quickly returned to their seat and began to work diligently with their head down.

The manager gave her subordinates one last glance before walking away on her high heels.

Though the staff stopped gossiping, they all secretly used their mobile phone to browse the news on the internet. The more they found out, they more they felt that their three views had been refreshed again and again.

…

Fu Zonghong was invited by the chairman of a partner company and spent two hours in the meeting to finalize the cooperation. After the business talk was over, Fu Zonghong invited President Jiang to play tennis to relax, but was declined by the other party.

President Jiang glanced meaningfully at Fu Zonghong, and suddenly gave the latter sincere advice: "Chairman Fu, everyone knows that you are a workaholic. But for men, family and career are equally important. You must not ignore your family for your career!"

Fu Zonghong was confused, but he replied seriously, "I understand."

There were no social events that evening. Fu Zonghong originally wanted to go back to the company, but when he suddenly thought of President Jiang's words, he ordered the driver to take him home.

Madam Fu, whose name was Fang Wanping, was taking care of the roses in the garden when she saw Fu Zonghong's car driving in. After a moment of surprise, she quickly put the sprinkler in her hand and went to greet her husband.

"You are back so early today?" Fang Wanping took Fu Zonghong's suit and hung it on the hanger at the front entrance.

"Yes." Fu Zonghong responded and walked towards the sofa.

Fang Wanping poured him a cup of tea and asked with concern, "What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood. Is something bothering you?"

"It's fine." Fu Zonghong frowned. His work went well today, but he felt irritable for no reason.

Fang Wanping stood behind her husband and massaged his shoulders: "No matter what, remember to take care of your body first. Otherwise, if that girl Xueruo knows that I haven't taken good care of you, I will never hear the end from her."

Hearing this, Fu Zonghong's body relaxed, and his frowning brows also loosened: "Xueruo is filial. How is her filming going?"

Fu Zonghong didn't like the entertainment industry, but since Fang Xueruo liked it, he let her do as she pleased. Fu Group didn't have any entertainment-related companies. Because it was out of his territory, he couldn't help her much. Fortunately, Chang Group had a stake in an entertainment company, and Chang family took good care of Xueruo, so he was relieved.

Fang Wanping hesitated for a moment, then said gently: "Everything went well. She will finish the shooting in a few days. After this job's over, I will tell her not to pick up another job so quickly so she can accompany you at home."

However, Fu Zonghong noticed the pause of the hands-on his shoulders. He turned his head to look at his wife, frowned, and asked: "What's wrong? Is Xueruo wronged over there? With Chang family and Fu family here, who can make her feel wronged? Could it be that kid from Chang family?"

"That's not true. You know how good Chang family's boy is to Xueruo."

"Old Fu…" Fang Wanping hesitated for a while, but she still said, "I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"You know that Xueruo went to the countryside for this job, right? She saw Yunruo there. Xueruo wanted to convince Yunruo to go home and give us a surprise…"

"She told me that when I called her just now, so I scolded her. This girl is no longer a child; how can she be so ignorant? Since she found her sister, she should tell us as soon as possible, so that we can pick her up in person."

Father Fu was stunned when he heard Yunruo's name. But when he heard the last sentence, he immediately retorted angrily: "Go pick her up in person? Is she a three-year-old child? After so many years, she didn't know to go home, and still want me to personally pick her home?!"

Fang Wanping patted Fu Zonghong's hand lightly: "What are you talking about? Are you still arguing with that child? We haven't heard anything from Yunruo for so many years. Aren't you the one who worries about her the most?"

"You also know that the child misunderstood us a bit. Anyway, she is also your daughter. You can't let her suffer anymore, can you?"

"Have I made her suffer? Didn't she bring it on herself?" Fu Zonghong snorted coldly, "Did she bully Xueruo again? She is one year older than Xueruo, yet so ignorant!" With a wave of his hand, Fu Zonghong left angrily and went upstairs.

"Old Fu…" Fang Wanping called out from behind, then shook her head helplessly.

Fang Xueruo thought that it was already bad enough to have the image she had worked so hard to maintain collapse and her popularity among the general public ruined. Still, she didn't expect that it was only a beginning. Her agent called again with another bad news. A brand endorsement they were negotiating suddenly had a second thought just before signing the contract. The representative expressed their concern that Fang Xueruo's image didn't meet the requirements of their brands, citing the incident currently brewing on the internet. This endorsement was originally guaranteed, and Fang Xueruo's proud fans had long shown it off on the internet. Now the job was snatched away by Xia Wanning, who had been suppressed by Fang Xueruo. She could imagine what kind of mockery her anti and rivals' fans would make after this news came out.

There was more to that. Several brands that Fang Xueruo was endorsing were coming to say that Fang Xueruo's negative image had affected their brands, demanding compensation to be paid for their losses according to the contract.

After hearing this, Fang Xueruo's eyes became cold, "What did the company say?"

"The company is doing its best to protect you. We are now appeasing the brands, promising that this matter will be dealt with as soon as possible and to clarify the rumors on the internet."

Chang Group was the major shareholder of Fang Xueruo's entertainment company. Since she was the future wife of the Chang family's young master, the company's only choice was to do their best to protect her. However, it was not easy to quell the commotion on the internet, and the company had failed to do it so far. It was not easy to suppress this matter. Except for the people who were taking the advantage to fish in troubled water, there were two apparent groups secretly contributing to the flames behind the scene.

One of the groups was frank and open in their actions, so the company soon found who they were: Fu Yunruo's fan group. What made it tricky was that some of those fans were not regular people. Even the Chang family had to be polite to them somewhat. When so many of such people united, not to mention the company, even the combination of Chang Group and Fu Group couldn't afford to offend them. The company could only initiate negotiation and tried to make peace with the group, but these people refused to give face. All they wanted was justice for Fu Yunruo.

As for another group, the company hadn't found out who they were yet, so no negotiation could be conducted. Fang Xueruo was sure that this group was from Si Yue. The agent was a little unsure. Si Yue came from an ordinary well-off family, how could he have such a great ability? In the agent and company's opinion, it was more possible for the second group to come from Apple Entertainment's hands. After all, the two entertainment companies had similar development models and were competitors for years, so it was not strange for the other party to seize this opportunity to step on them. The commotion was getting bigger each second, and the company's public relations department could not keep up with the situation.

Fang Xueruo was still about to speak when suddenly the door was banged. She opened the door and saw the house's owner. A trace of impatience flashed in her heart, but she still put on a gentle face and asked softly, "Is there something wrong?"

However, the usually kind and enthusiastic owner had a fierce look on her face at this moment. She yelled at Fang Xueruo with her rough, duck-like voice: "Get out! You are not welcome in my house!"

Fang Xueruo was stunned: "What?"

However, the owner was very disdainful to even talk to her. She quickly proceeded to pack Fang Xueruo's belongings haphazardly, shoved her luggage out of the house, spat, and slammed the door shut. "Black-hearted woman!"

Fang Xueruo stood in front of the closed door, her face ashen.

"Xue'er!" Suddenly there was a shout from behind. Shocked, Fang Xueruo turned around and widened her eyes in disbelief. She couldn't help but dash over and throw herself into the person's arms.

"Brother Chang…"

"Xue'er, you have been wronged." Chang Zhuyou was very distressed. He had several examinations in the city hospital, but the hospital failed to find anything wrong with him despite the severe pain in his abdomen. Chang Zhuyou wanted to sue Si Yue for his injuries, but couldn't get any evidence. Then, when his mood was already bad, he found that his Xue'er was being attacked so maliciously on the internet. Chang Zhuyou broke out in anger and immediately ordered his subordinates to speak in Fang Xueruo's defense. He also angrily scolded Fu Yunruo, this vicious woman, before hastily making his return. His Xue'er was so weak — she must be unable to bear such huge malice and needed someone to support her.

Fang Xueruo buried her face in Chang Zhuyou's arms and shook her head silently. Her eyes were cold. Damn that stupid bumpkin! How dare she do this to her? She had never been insulted like this since she was a child!

"Brother Chang, let's go. I'm not welcome here…" Fang Xueruo raised her head. There were tears on her weak face, but she tried hard to stay strong.

"What? How dare they do this to you?" Chang Zhuyou was instantly furious and wanted to kick the door in anger.

"Brother Chang! I don't want to stay here any longer…" Fang Xueruo pulled Chang Zhuyou; her face was very pale.

Chang Zhuyou turned around and hugged her distressedly, "Okay, I'll take you away…"

"Yes…"

…

Fu Yunruo was frightened by Wenwen's abnormal state yesterday, so she focused all her attention on the boy today. It was not until Tiantian called that Fu Yunruo learned that the situation on the internet had a drastic reversal. The moment the call was connected, Tiantian's voice came over, "Ruoruo, your identity has been exposed." The girl said with a complicated mood, "Let me explain first. It's not us who reveal your identity, really. A fan with keen eyes found it out!"

"?" It took a while for Fu Yunruo to react, "Oh." She only cared about Wenwen yesterday and didn't have time to pay attention to the internet. Naturally, she didn't know that her fans had been jumping around to attack Fang Xueruo and defend her.

"Don't worry, your fans are very powerful, and we have the upper hand! No one can throw dirty water on you without paying the consequences." Tiantian felt that their studio was useless. It was only after Fu Yunruo's fans came to the stage that the situation finally reversed. Each and every one of them was very powerful. If she was one of those slandering water army, she probably was crying to death now. Because this matter accounted for defamation, the fans who could afford lawyers or a lawyer themselves issued letters one after another…Oh, the studio was actually still useful. The fans contacted the studio and asked to be granted a power of attorney before sending the letters.

After listening to Tiantian's explanation, Fu Yunruo was a little conflicted by the sudden exposure of her identity. She didn't want to put on a disguise just to go out for a walk. But since the fans had found out, she couldn't deceive them and say that they had found the wrong person. What's more, she knew that her fans were very talented. Since they had admitted her, it meant they had solid evidence in their hands.

Fu Yunruo asked Tiantian to continue keeping an eye on the internet. Wenwen must never appear on the internet, especially now when so many dirty things are around. Tiantian reassured Fu Yunruo, saying that the fans were very measured, and all the videos about Wenwen on the internet were already gone. Although Wenwen accidentally showed his face on the variety show before, all the videos were gone, and there was no longer a trace of him on the internet.

Fu Yunruo felt relieved upon hearing that Wenwen's videos had been deleted from the internet. After ending the call with Tiantian, she took a look at the situation on the internet. Despite being the protagonist of the story, there were mostly only written descriptions about her. Although there was also a short video, it only showed a bit of her back figure, so she didn't care. Fu Yunruo also found out that the negative comments about her had disappeared. When she looked at the people who spoke for her, she found many familiar usernames, which she recognized from her fan list.

Fu Yunruo read further and was amused by her fans' comments. Although there were many ridiculous things in this world, there were more sane people with positive minds. Compared with her fans, whose sharp tongues could beat others into utter defeat without a single swear word, Fu Yunruo felt that she was still far behind. She also found that her fans were very rational. Although they 'graciously' put Fang Xueruo on the top of the trending topics list, they didn't spread rumors or unbiased slanders and only told the truth. Compared to the so-called facts that Fang Xueruo's sides deliberately distort, what Fu Yunruo's fans pointed out was truly the truth of the matter.

At this moment, the internet was equivalent to Fang Xueruo's social execution ground.

Fu Yunruo rarely browsed social media, so she also took the initiative to look at the tags created by Fang Xueruo's water army, and only then did she see the comments that made her very uncomfortable. The hypocrisy and maliciousness almost overflowed from the screen. However, the following replies right below the comments, which occupied the top replies, were not from her fans, but still full of sarcasm.

Seeing that her fans were very measured, Fu Yunruo was very much at ease. It might be that her fans were generally older folks whose worldview had long been fixed. Most of the communication between Fu Yunruo and them was from an equal perspective, in which they treated her like a friend or a younger generation.

Fu Yunruo always felt that most of her fans were actually fans of the eleven pots of orchid plus one human baby she raised. The popularity of these flowers and Wenwen in her livestream channel was not low. Fu Yunruo often suspected that the orchids were not the only things she grew in her livestream, but also her son.

What impressed Fu Yunruo was that her fans understood her low-key temperament, so they rarely brought her name in public and deliberately downplayed her existence. On top of that, the fans seemed to also understand her dislike of Fang Xueruo, so they never brought out her name when attacking the latter.

It stood to reason that Fu Yunruo's identity reveals caused a lot of sensation in the livestream circle. But when Fu Yunruo went to the forum, she found only a small amount of discussion about her. It seemed that her fans were very self-conscious and helped her suppress the news too. On the contrary, some of her colleagues and friends on the livestream platform had been sending private messages one after another, one to express their support and one to make a joke.

What delighted Fu Yunruo the most was that Wenwen was never mentioned at all.

Fu Yunruo also formally gained another fan group. It could be said that this group had been around since she started livestreaming. These fans had already discovered that the Wenwen in the variety show was their beloved cub. Comments kept pouring in one after another; all were screaming for their cub. Some of these fans were wailing and bawling, regretting themselves for not seeing the video before it was taken down, thus missing the chance to see the cute, smart, and lovely face of their cub.

Fu Yunruo was puzzled. Seeing their reaction, it seemed that the video was not taken down by her fans? But she couldn't figure out who else was so capable, so she could only put her doubts in her heart for the time being.

Not long after, Tiantian sent another furious message.

[Fuck it! That scumbag dared to send a weibo to publicly support the bitch!]

[He actually dares to talk about you! Too shameless!]

Tiantian was very irritated by this and stopped messaging soon afterward. It seemed that she was going to tear up the scumbag in person. Fu Yunruo took a look and found that not only Chang Group publicly expressed their support for Fang Xueruo, but also the artists under Orange Entertainment. They all alluded to the fact that everything on the internet was just rumors, hoping for a certain someone would stop in moderation.

Orange Entertainment was one of the largest entertainment companies in the circle. Besides the Movie Empress Fang Xueruo, they also had several first-tier and above stars, a few well-known directors, and close contacts with some famous brands. After they publicly supported Fang Xueruo, the originally one-sided public opinion turned into a tug-of-war.

The flames of war raged in an instant, and the whole internet was ready for another round. Fu Yunruo's fan group forum turned silent in no moment. Those fans should have seen the situation on social media, rolled up their sleeves, and rushed to the battlefield again. Being silently cared for and protected by so many people, Fu Yunruo was so moved that she simultaneously posted a message on her Weibo and livestream channel.

[What I had in the past has been taken away by you, but I will protect what I have now.]

Then she replied to Chang Zhuyou's weibo.

[Don't get me wrong. I used to run after you because you were my fiancé, and I didn't want anything to be taken away from me again. As for now, I don't want you anymore. Since I have thrown you into the trash can, please be self-conscious. Do not jump out and pollute the environment.]

Since her fans were so high-spirited, Fu Yunruo felt she couldn't be left behind. She no longer had nothing. She had friends, family, and many other people who supported and loved her, giving her a lot of confidence.

Within a minute of posting, Fu Yunruo's comment was liked and forwarded by Si Yue.

[It is everyone's responsibility to take care of the environment.]

Then another user gave a like.

Like a signal, Fu Yunruo's comment was quickly liked and forwarded by many well-known figures in various circles, who also posted their encouraging comments—

[God is fair. After giving you hardships for the first half of your life, there will be happiness and sweetness waiting for you in the future. Little girl, stay strong.]

Both the Orchid Art Association and the famous diva Liu Zhi, with whom Fu Yunruo had cooperated before, also forwarded the comment, stating that only people with pure hearts could grow such orchids full of aura.

Within the livestreaming circle, several well-known livestreamers also forwarded and liked the comment, including several streamers with whom Fu Yunruo had no intersection. Even the Panda Live platform and Apple Entertainment's official weibo accounts also forwarded the comment.

In addition, many second-generation youngsters and several other people from the wealthy circle who were active in social media also issued public apologies to Fu Yunruo, saying that they used to hate her due to misunderstandings and apologized for their excessive comments in the past.

Fu Yunruo was stunned and clutched her frightened little heart. Since when was she so powerful?

Wenwen had been sticking to Fu Yunruo's side all the time, looking at her eagerly. Seeing that his mother looked very distracted, the boy was anxious and wanted to watch too, but he also knew he shouldn't disturb her. Wenwen thought to himself. Once he had the opportunity, he must quietly look at the mobile phone. He really wanted to know the latest situation on the internet!

Fu Yunruo noticed Wenwen was next to her, sticking himself closely. She couldn't help but say in a soft tone: "Wenwen, other children have asked you to play together. Don't you want to play with your friends?"

From the morning till now, the children had come and called twice, but Wenwen refused to go out. Fu Yunruo found that Wenwen seemed to have returned to his clingy childhood state. Like a little tail, he followed wherever she went. Previously, Fu Yunruo felt at a loss when her son stopped clinging to her, but now felt very distressed seeing the boy start clinging to her again.

Even though Wenwen was smarter, braver, and more alert than ordinary children…he was still a child after all. Of course he would be frightened when seeing adults with such disgusting faces. Look how scared he was? Fu Yunruo was heartache. She hugged the boy and rubbed his head, comforting him again and again.

Wenwen shook his head and said seriously, "I want to accompany you, Mom." He had to keep an eye on his mother and protect her. That woman Fang Xueruo was still here. What if she wanted to do something bad to his mother during his absence? He didn't want to take such a risk.

In the past, Wenwen had seen too much darkness. Sometimes, humans were the scariest creatures. Just one word, one glance, or a seemingly inadvertent action could destroy a person.

Wenwen didn't have a mobile phone, so he didn't know the situation on the internet. But even Grandpa Mei and Grandma Mei, as well as other people in the village, knew about it, which showed that the situation was already very serious. Fang Xueruo had the ability to become a Movie Empress, which showed that she had a lot of skills. And some brainless fans were truly irrational. As long as their idol showed a bit of expression of being bullied or wronged, some of the most extreme of fans would even do criminal things such as disfigurement or murder for their idol.

The past him had seen such things a lot. One of his friends in the circle, because of Fu Wen's hatred for Chang Xue'ai, expressed dislike of her in public and received malicious attacks in revenge. In the end, she was forced to quit the entertainment circle and go abroad. Although she said that she didn't blame him before leaving, Fu Wen couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, even after he later learned that she was doing well abroad…

A daughter resembled her mother. His Mom was so innocent. If she was targeted by Fang Xueruo's brainless fan…

Regarding this mother and daughter pair, Wenwen always speculated with the greatest malice, which currently put him in a deep worry. "Mom, shall we find a bodyguard?" No matter how many precautions were taken, there was a limit to what he could do. Especially that he was now still too young. He couldn't protect his mother well with such small arms and legs.

Seeing her son's expression like a mini grieving adult, Fu Yunruo couldn't help pinching his bulging and tender cheeks: "This is adults' business, and children shouldn't think too much. Baobao doesn't need to worry. Mom will be fine."

Fu Yunruo fell into contemplation. Wenwen was so frightened that he actually said to hire a bodyguard, but how could a bodyguard be so easy to hire? She was now living in such a remote place, and their range of activities basically centered in either the village or the flower garden. In case someone with a bad intention came, she only needed to shout, and people would immediately come to help, so there was no need to be so anxious. However, Wenwen was different. He was such a small child; what if Fang Xueruo decided to attack him? Maybe she really needed to seriously consider the matter of hiring a bodyguard.

Thinking of this, Fu Yunruo suddenly became very anxious: "Baobao, you should never take or eat anything from strangers, okay? If someone you didn't know tried to talk to you, do not pay attention, and immediately go to a place with people or run to a house to find an adult. And do not go to dangerous places, like the water's edge or high roof, understand?" Sigh, it seemed that she had just opened a pandora's box. Once she began to think about it, she suddenly felt that her son was surrounded by dangers everywhere, even though she could let the child run around freely without worry before.

The more Fu Yunruo thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she suddenly didn't want the let Wenwen out to play. Well, it's also good to have him by her side.

…

Affected by Fang Xueruo's scandal, the variety show suspended shooting. Now that Si Yue had a bunch of free time, he spent most of his attention watching the situation on the internet. Seeing the reveal of Fu Yunruo's identity as the famous orchid livestreamer Yunjuan Yunshu, he suddenly realized. No wonder he always had a vague sense of familiarity with Fu Yunruo. He never thought about it too much, thinking that this familiarity was due to that past event.

Si Yue quickly opened the forum and then played the video of the little guy Yunjuan Yunshu uploaded years ago. Although he couldn't see the boy's face, this chubby little figure was so cute! Si Yue couldn't help but watch the video over and over again. He regretted not participating in Wenwen's growth from a small embryo to a boy who could run and jump. If only he had paid more attention, he might have discovered that he had a son earlier…

Wait — Si Yue suddenly remembered something. Wasn't his little eleventh also in Fu Yunruo's hands?

Thinking that he once was so close to little eleventh, Si Yue felt a little heartache.

Si Yue continued browsing. Anytime he saw a post or comment sent by Fu Yunruo, he immediately liked, reposted, and commented, totally ignoring how much his behavior perplexed other fans.

Si Yue sat for a while, contemplating whether he should go to the rental house to see the mother and son.

Seeing this, Xin Xu also wanted to follow, "I wonder how Big Sister Ruoruo is. I hope she isn't affected too much."

In Xin Xu's opinion, the production team's biggest failure was to invite Fang Xueruo for the show. It was her fault that the show was broken up and currently on halt. The impact this time was too bad. People's hatred for third parties and homewreckers was tantamount to that for the stars who used drugs or derailed in marriages. Once the news was confirmed to be true, their only end was usually hidden away by their company, never accepting any job again. However, Fang Xueruo's situation was different. She was the daughter of…cough, the future daughter-in-law of the Chang family. Her company would protect her at all costs, so she probably would be whitewashed in the end. Therefore, Xin Xu was very worried about Fu Yunruo.

Seeing that Xin Xu was sincerely worried about Fu Yunruo, Si Yue allowed him to tag along, so the two went to Fu Yunruo's rental house together. When they arrived, the yard gate was closed. Si Yue knocked, and a voice sounded after a while: "Who?"

"It's me." Si Yue replied.

Xin Xu also replied loudly: "And me!"

The door opened, and Fu Yunruo welcomed them with a smile: "Why are you two here?" Then she turned to let them in.

"Uncle Yue!" Wenwen was also in the yard. Seeing Si Yue and Xin Xu walking in, he quickly threw away the stick in his hand. The boy ran over happily, hugged Si Yue's leg, and looked up at the older man with his bright eyes.

Si Yue leaned over, picked Wenwen up, put one hand in his arms, and walked into the house.

Xin Xu exclaimed with envy: "Wenwen, what about me?!" Even if he was not as handsome as Brother Yue, but such a big guy stood right on the side. How could Wenwen ignore him just like that?!

Wenwen looked over, showed a cute smile, and called loudly, "Uncle Xu!"

"Yeah!" Xin Xu narrowed his eyes with a smile.

After Fu Yunruo closed the gate, she smiled upon seeing her son regain his liveliness. She then went into the house and poured tea for Si Yue and Xin Xu. "Why are you free to come here?" She asked. These two were supposed to be shooting the show now, right?

"Ah, the shooting is currently suspended." Xin Xu said indifferently.

Fu Yunruo thought about it for a while. Knowing that the situation on the internet should have affected the show's production, she said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm implicating you guys…"

"How can it be?" Xin Xu waved his hands repeatedly, "You are also a victim. Big Sister Ruoruo, don't worry. We are on your side." As he said that, Xin Xu rubbed his head embarrassedly: "Sorry, I can't support you in public for the time being." He was tied by contract with his agency, and each of his words and deeds in public must be approved by his agent beforehand.

"It's fine. I'm happy that you can trust me." Fu Yunruo expressed her understanding. Of course she understood that being a public figure also came out with many restrictions. Fu Yunruo then looked at Si Yue, "Mr. Yue, thank you for speaking for me."

"You're welcome. It's something I ought to do."

Fu Yunruo actually wanted to ask Si Yue whether his action would affect him. But seeing how he seemed to not care, she restrained from asking, not wanting to sound deliberate.

Wenwen looked up at Si Yue. He suddenly remembered Uncle Yue's handsome figure when he easily stepped the big bad guy under his feet. Wenwen's black eyes suddenly brightened again: "Uncle Yue, can you be Mom's bodyguard for a few days?"

Fu Yunruo stared at her son for a moment and raised her voice in disapproval: "Wenwen…" Such a dignified actor Mr. Yue, how could he become a bodyguard? She couldn't allow the child to be so ignorant just because Mr. Yue liked him.

Wenwen said solemnly: "This is a conversation between men. Mom, don't interrupt."

Fu Yunruo: "…"

Si Yue said with a smile, "Well, this is a conversation between men."

Xin Xu laughed on the side. This kid was too funny.

Wenwen looked over and glared at Xin Xu. What's so funny? He was very serious here, alright!

"Cough, cough, cough!" Xin Xu suddenly choked. He turned his back and stopped laughing, but his shoulders quivered, clearly holding back his laughter.

Fu Yunruo held her forehead helplessly. Why did Mr. Yue indulge Wenwen so much?

Si Yue asked Wenwen seriously: "Then how do you want to hire me?"

Wenwen was about to reply when he noticed that he was still sitting in Si Yue's arms, which damaged his manly image and was not conducive to negotiation. The boy promptly asked the older man to put him on the table first. Wenwen stood on the table, but his small body was still not as high as Si Yue, so Si Yue moved to sit on the stool, and the two barely met eye to eye at last.

"We want to hire you…for five days," Wenwen said seriously. His chubby face was slightly flushed. He did a calculation and thought that five days would be enough time to find a suitable bodyguard. "When we find a bodyguard, this deal will end."

"Hmm…" Si Yue pondered for a moment, "Then what can you give me in return?"

Wenwen looked at Fu Yunruo and calculated the assets in her hand, "We can hire you at double your current rate, and the money will be paid after five days."

Si Yue shook his head, "I'm not short of money. Your reward doesn't impress me."

Wenwen frowned. The only thing they could afford was money, "Then what do you want?"

Si Yue looked at Wenwen, and the corners of his lips twitched, "How about you allow me to pinch your face three times a day? No less than three minutes each time. If you agree, I will accept your employment."

Hearing this, Wenwen quickly covered his face with both hands. His white and tender chubby face trembled, as well as his sensitive little heart. Wenwen's eyes widened: He knows it! Si Yue has been eyeing his face for a long time!

"How?" Si Yue threw out the conditions and waited for Wenwen to make a decision.

"Three minutes is too long…" Wenwen hesitated.

Si Yue shook his index finger, "No bargaining."

"…O-okay, I agree." Wenwen thought deeply before finally nodding. Alas, he sacrificed a lot for his mother.

Si Yue hooked his lips and smiled, "Deal."

"I want to go down." Wenwen looked at the floor and said. Si Yue held him and put him down.

Wenwen immediately ran into the room to take a pen and paper: "We have to sign a contract." A contract was a must, lest Uncle Yue suddenly backed out of their agreement!

So smart! Xin Xu quickly ran after Wenwen: "I'll help you write the contract!"

Only Fu Yunruo and Si Yue were left in the living room. Fu Yunruo said embarrassedly, "Don't take Wenwen's words to heart. Children know nothing."

Fu Yunruo really didn't know what kind of thought process happened in Wenwen's small head. How could he be so whimsical and think to hire Si Yue as a bodyguard?

Si Yue took it seriously, "I have already promised Wenwen, so naturally I must keep my word."

Fu Yunruo: "…" She suddenly felt that Wenwen became like this had something to do with Si Yue.

Fu Yunruo laughed dryly: "Wenwen is still young…"

Si Yue said: "Even if he is a child, since I have promised him, I cannot break the promise. Otherwise, how can I set a good example as an elder?"

Fu Yunruo: "…" It seemed that she must put the matter of finding a bodyguard on the agenda.

Not long after, Wenwen ran out of the room with blushing cheeks, holding a pen and paper in his hand. On the paper was the contract written down by Xin Xu. Fu Yunruo glanced at the contract. If the content of Party A's remuneration was not pinching face several times a day for three minutes, it would be a very serious and formal contract.

"Sign!" Si Yue took the pen and paper. At one glance, he could see Wenwen's deliberate manipulation. Despite the agreed employment period being five days, the one written in the contract was until Party A found a suitable bodyguard. But Si Yue didn't say anything and still signed his name without hesitation.

Wenwen grinned when he saw Si Yue sign the contract. Hehehe…

Si Yue teased: "Little Wenwen, can you write your own name?"

Wenwen puffed his chest and said proudly: "I can!" Then he picked up the pen and signed his name, Fu Wen, as Party A. Although the font was very large and a bit crooked, it was written properly.

"Okay, I'll keep this contract." Si Yue folded the paper and put it away.

Wenwen was a little guilty about the contract, so he agreed.

Fu Yunruo: "…" It was not easy for Mr. Yue to play along.

After sending Si Yue and Xin Xu away, Fu Yunruo had a heart-to-heart conversation with Wenwen.

"Fu Wen, please reflect on your behavior. What did you do wrong?"

Wenwen turned his head and said loudly, "I didn't!"

Was it wrong for him to want someone to protect his mother? He was right!

He had pondered over the matter seriously. Most of the people in the village were either elderly or children, or had their own family. None of them was suitable to protect his mother, except for the strong Uncle Yue!

Well, he could also mobilize his playmates to keep an eye if strangers were coming in or out of the village.

"Is your Uncle Yue a bodyguard? How dare you let someone else be our bodyguard?"

"But he agreed!"

"How can this make sense…" Fu Yunruo was about to continue her lecture when the yard gate was knocked again. She stood up, and just when she was about to go out, she saw Wenwen moving, so she quickly turned her head and said sternly: "Stand still, do not move."

Wenwen was standing next to the wall, pouting: Alas, Mom really doesn't understand his painstaking efforts, ah!

Fu Yunruo went out and opened the gate after asking who it was. Then she saw Si Yue, standing alone with a suitcase in his hand.

Fu Yunruo: "?"

Fu Yunruo looked puzzled, "Mr. Yue, why are you here?"

Si Yue walked in with his suitcase and said lightly, "To be your bodyguard."

"…" Fu Yunruo almost choked on her own saliva and said with difficulty, "Mr. Yue, Wenwen's words can't be taken seriously, you really don't have to do this…"

Si Yue raised his eyebrows.

What was this 'living under the same roof' plot?! Fu Yunruo was extremely embarrassed, so she could only say: "Only a woman and a child live here, so it's really not suitable for a man to stay."

In this small village, gossip spread faster than fire. Fu Yunruo really didn't want the villagers to misunderstand that she was getting married…

Si Yue spread his hands, "But if I live in Mei family house, it will be too far away to properly protect you, which makes me incompetent as a bodyguard." He said solemnly: "Since there is nothing between us, one or two words of gossips won't affect much."

Fu Yunruo: "…" She was very conflicted. Of course she wasn't unwelcome of Si Yue, but she truly didn't want Si Yue to live in her house and felt this was inappropriate. But he kept using Wenwen's childish words as an excuse… Thinking of the naughty boy who was still facing the wall in reflection inside the house, Fu Yunruo's head ached.

When Wenwen heard Si Yue's voice, he immediately pricked his ears. He wanted to go out and see Si Yue so badly, but he was still 'punished'! His pair of short legs fidgeted restlessly, but he finally calmed down and stood still.

Alas, he sacrificed a lot for his mother, but still had to stand in front of the wall as a penalty!

Si Yue walked in and saw the little guy standing against the wall with his little head drooping. Si Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is Wenwen doing?"

Wenwen looked up with an aggrieved expression, "Uncle Yue, I was told to reflect my wrong…"

Fu Yunruo saw Wenwen's pitiful act. When she thought that this big trouble was brought out by this little guy, her headache suddenly worsened: "Don't pay attention to him. Since he did something wrong, he should be punished."

Si Yue nodded and comforted Wenwen: "Then you should reflect well and try to appease your mother's anger as soon as possible."

Wenwen burst into tears and suddenly billowed with self-pity. Why didn't Uncle Yue speak good words for him?!

Si Yue put his hand on the handle of the suitcase, turned to Fu Yunruo, and asked, "Which room can I stay in?"

Fu Yunruo's head throbbed. What should she say so Si Yue would back off?

Stay? Wenwen instantly raised his head and looked at Si Yue in surprise. Why did Uncle Yue want to stay in their home?

For a split second, Wenwen had a sense of danger, as if his territory was being breached.

Si Yue noticed Wenwen's gaze and was amused. This little guy looked soft and tender, but he was actually a wolf cub?

Si Yue said calmly, "How can I perform my duties as a bodyguard if I don't stay? If your mother met danger at night, wouldn't it be too late for me to rush here?"

Wenwen tilted his head suspiciously and pondered hard. It seems…reasonable? After all, there were 24 hours a day, and no one knew when danger might befall his mother. Having a bodyguard for just the day was indeed too unreliable.

However, a child's possessive nature made Wenwen instinctively dislike having another person break into his family life. It was enough to have only him and Mom at home, but… Mom's safety was also very important.

Wenwen was very entangled. If it was a hired bodyguard, they could let someone build a small room next to the house for the bodyguard to live in. But they couldn't do the same to Uncle Yue…

Fu Yunruo suddenly thought of something and quickly said: "Mr. Yue, if the matter of you staying here breaks out on the internet, there will be a huge scandal!"

Fu Yunruo remembered that Si Yue had never had a scandal since he made his debut. His life as an actor was as clean as a white sheet. If this matter spread out, the whole internet would definitely explode.

Si Yue said: "It's okay. We are innocent and do nothing wrong."

Fu Yunruo: "…"

Fu Yunruo bit her lips and said: "B-but, if you stay here, it will be inconvenient for you to shoot the show, right?" A livestream was a big no-no. She didn't want to be on the trending topics again.

"The shooting is suspended." Si Yue replied. The internet was now basically a warfield, and the ones fighting were bigshots. Like it or not, the production team could only suspend the shooting for now.

Moreover, he also heard the news that Fang Xueruo was kicked out by the local she was lodging at and could only temporarily move to the house rented for the crew.

The villages were small and close in proximity, and many of the residents were connected to one another via blood ties or marriages. The relationship of local residents was intricate, and they paid heavy attention to this relationship. Fu Yunruo, despite being an outsider, was already recognized by Shanghe Village as one of their own. Now that she was bullied, of course people of Shanghe Village wouldn't sit still. They told all their relatives, who then spread the news to the relatives of their sides. In no time, all the residents of surrounding villages knew how the TV people who came to shoot the show actually bullied one of their people.

Apparently, the rest of the casts were also not doing well in other villages. Although they were not driven away, the villagers stopped cooperating with the show.

Only Si Yue and Xin Xu were not treated coldly because they had a good relationship with Shanghe people, who also saw how Si Yue defended Fu Yunruo and Wenwen.

Whether this show could resume the shooting or not was still unknown.

Si Yue looked at the mother and son and seemed to sense that he was not welcomed. He took a step back and said: "If you really mind, I can stay somewhere close. I remember there was a woodshed here? I could stay there."

Fu Yunruo knew that the show was forced to stop shooting because of her and Fang Xueruo's scandals. Thinking that she was also one of the culprits, Fu Yunruo felt guilty. She thought of the woodshed. It was an old house made from yellow mud bricks abandoned long ago. After the owners built a beautiful red brick house, they moved out and turned the house into firewood storage.

A house that had been deserted a long time ago and fell into disrepair over the years was obviously not fit for human habitat. Moreover, Si Yue was also well-intentioned. He accepted Wenwen's childish and unreasonable request and also respected her wish. There was no way Fu Yunruo could see him staying in a dilapidated house that might turn into a literal waterfall anytime it rained.

Fu Yunruo's temple twitched, and she suddenly said: "How can I let you stay in a woodshed? Just stay here. We have plenty of vacant rooms."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Yunruo could not wait to bite her own tongue. She clearly refused him, so why did she still say it?

Si Yue's lips hooked up in a smile: "I see. Thank you." Then he turned his head and looked at the only male in the family who was still receiving his punishment, "Does Wenwen welcome me?"

Wenwen hesitated. Thinking that he couldn't let his idol sleep in the woodshed, the boy finally nodded.

Si Yue said solemnly, "Then I will be in your care."

Being treated equally by Si Yue made Wenwen feel like an adult. He subconsciously puffed out his small chest and mimicked Si Yue's tone: "We, too, will be in your care."

"Yes." Si Yue promised seriously, "Don't worry, you can leave everything to me."

Fu Yunruo: "…"

Si Yue said solemnly, "Then I will be in your care."

Being treated equally by Si Yue made Wenwen feel like an adult. He subconsciously puffed out his small chest and mimicked Si Yue's tone: "We, too, will be in your care."

"Yes." Si Yue promised seriously, "Don't worry, you can leave everything to me."

Fu Yunruo: "…" Admitting her defeat, Fu Yunruo finally took Si Yue in, "We have guest rooms here, but they have to be cleaned before you can move in. Sorry."

"It's ok."

Fu Yunruo's rental house was the Mei family's old house. It was quite large and had many rooms. Fu Yunruo deliberately chose the room farthest from their own for Si Yue. Although she frequently did light cleaning, the room still had to be prepared for sleep.

Si Yue followed Fu Yunruo to the room. Wenwen stood on the tiptoe, watching the two adults leave. In the end, he couldn't hold back and quietly chased after Si Yue.

Fu Yunruo opened the door, and a wave of sultry air rushed out. She said embarrassedly: "There is no air conditioner in this room, so you can only use an electric fan. But don't worry, the temperature at night is not so high."

Now the room was sultry mainly because the temperature outside was higher during the day. The windows were closed, and there was not much ventilation, but sunlight still entered from between the windows sill. When the night wind blew, it would be much cooler.

Si Yue put his suitcase aside and surveyed the room. The room was empty with nothing but a bedboard, a wardrobe, and a table.

Fu Yunruo opened the wardrobe to take out the mattress and quilt inside to dry under the sun. It was still morning now. If she washed the quilt and then put it under the sun, it would dry in the evening.

Fu Yunruo was just about to take out the mattress when Si Yue reached out and took the things first.

Fu Yunruo turned around and looked at Si Yue, who casually said, "I will do it."

"Me too!" Wenwen raised his chubby hand and said loudly. He can help too!

Fu Yunruo lowered her head and stared at the chubby boy who was eager to help.

Wenwen slowly lowered his head in dejection. Did he still have to stand in front of the wall?

The boy couldn't help looking at Si Yue and sent a 'help!' signal, but Si Yue returned his glance with a helpless look.

Wenwen turned around dejectedly. His small back looked extremely bleak and lonely. Women, ah! Alas, they really liked to make trouble out of nowhere. He obviously did nothing wrong, but he had to stand against the wall in reflection.

Si Yue took over the heavy works from Fu Yunruo. He took out the mattress to dry, then brought a bucket and a rag to scrub the bed frame and table. Fu Yunruo was also not idle. She went to wash the sheets and quilts before hanging them to dry.

Wenwen was forced to reflect all morning before he finally regained his freedom. After that, he followed Si Yue everywhere, like a little tail.

Si Yue was cleaning effectively. He first dusted the top of the wardrobe, then cleaned the bottom shelves and the floor.

Because Si Yue was here, Fu Yunruo let the yard gate open. She had to admit that having another adult in the family increased her sense of security. At least during the day, she was okay leaving the gate and door open.

After Fu Yunruo finished washing the sheets and hanging them to dry, it was almost noon, so she went to the kitchen to cook.

As soon as Wenwen smelled the aroma of the food, the boy abandoned Si Yue heartlessly and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to pester Fu Yunruo.

Si Yue, who suddenly became a lonely man, snorted. So a bite of food was still more important than him in this little brat's heart?

After Si Yue cleaned the room, he carried out the bucket and poured the dirty water into the ditch in the yard, then went to the faucet to rinse the bucket and wash the rag.

There was a knock. Si Yue turned his head and saw Yuan Xin's chubby body at the yard gate.

When Yuan Xin saw Si Yue's 'family man' appearance, he was stunned beyond belief. The agent walked in quickly and gave Si Yue a thumbs up, "You already entered the house so quickly? Awesome!"

When Yuan Xin went to the Mei family's house to look for Si Yue, he was told by Xin Xu that Si Yue was going to the Fu family's house to be a bodyguard. Xin Xu looked very envious when he told Yuan Xin that. Unlike Si Yue, Xin Xu had never been trained professionally, but he wouldn't falter when encountering dangers. He also wanted to become the bodyguard of the beautiful big sister and the cute little boy, but was too shy to say it.

When Yuan Xin heard that from Xin Xu, his first thought was: has this dog man finally made his move?

Yuan Xin immediately came to the rental house and unexpectedly saw Si Yue pouring dirty water and washing dirty rags!

Was this still the clean-freak Si Yue he knew?

Si Yue glanced at Yuan Xin coldly, "Why are you here? We won't invite you for lunch, so hurry up and leave."

Yuan Xin snorted. This dog man still did not have a status in this family, yet he already dared to call the shots?

Yuan Xin looked around. Although the house owner did not come out, this yard was not a place to talk.

Si Yue washed the rags, hung them on a bamboo pole to dry, then went to wash his hands before walking out of the yard.

Yuan Xin followed behind, and the two stood under the tree next to the fork of the road.

Yuan Xin didn't go straight to the point. Instead, his eyes swept Si Yue up and down as he asked, "What is your intention?" Do you want not only the child, but also the mother?

Yuan Xin had been with Si Yue for so many years, but sometimes he still couldn't figure out what this man was thinking. Originally, Yuan Xin thought that Si Yue only wanted the child, and when he later gave Fu Yunruo special attention, that was just because she was Wenwen's mother. But now, Yuan Xin was not sure. This dog man actually schemed his way into the Fu family's door. With Si Yue's temperament, there were many methods he could take if his aim was the child alone. But he actually chose to slowly permeate into the mother and son's life.

The dog man was not protecting his child's mother, but actually wanted to chase her, right?

Si Yue glanced at Yuan Xin and sneered, "You dare to prattle? Take care of your own mess first."

Yuan Xin's appearance was average, his body was slightly fat, and his ability was very strong, but his private life was a little messy, and he had never settled down.

A single man with no wife or children should take care of himself first. What was the use of gossiping?

Yuan Xin chuckled angrily, "You, big cow dung, are going to harm a beautiful flower. Cannot I say one or two words?"

Si Yue frowned and gave the agent a disgusted look, "Can't you think of a better idiom?" How could someone as tall, handsome, and rich as him be compared to cow dung?

"Oh." Yuan Xin's face was expressionless, "Then you are a rich pig trying to dig someone else's prized cabbage."

Si Yue calmly changed the subject, "How are things going?"

Si Yue calmly changed the subject, "How are things going?"

"I'm in control. Don't worry, everything has been resolved." Yuan Xin laughed. They were good citizens who obeyed the law and morals. Since they found someone doing bad things, of course they had to report it to the police. Oh, do not misunderstand, since they had promised, they had to keep the words. After obtaining the video, they gave the other party the money, but because they 'accidentally' found out that the person who took the video actually had done a hit-and-run incident, they called the police by the way.

The edited video on the internet was posted by them, and they naturally cut parts of the beating and the parts that showed the child. Otherwise, wouldn't they provide the other party with evidence of intentional injury for nothing?

The situation now was excellent. Chang Zhuyu had been taught a lesson, but couldn't find evidence to sue.

"But you don't seem to be of any use." Yuan Xin gloated. It was only after seeing the news on the internet that he knew that Fu Yunruo was actually a famous livestreamer. Moreover, it was a livestreamer Si Yue had been following for several years. To a certain extent, Si Yue was Fu Yunruo's fan, even if this dog man did not admit it himself.

As his agent, Yuan Xin was familiar with Si Yue's daily life. As long as he was free, Si Yue would always watch Fu Yunruo's livestream and send her gifts from time to time. That sub-account of his was used only to watch the livestream.

Yuan Xin couldn't help but think: could it be that after Si Yue knew that Fu Yunruo was the lifestreamer he was a fan of, various different favorability was superimposed and finally awakened his feeling?

However, Fu Yunruo wasn't interested in him at all! This dog man actually met his karma! Yuan Xin gloated.

"This time, there is absolutely no chance for you to be the hero who saves the beauty." Yuan Xin laughed. Fu Yunruo's fans were much tougher than Si Yue's fans, and except to help fan the flames, their side was completely redundant this time.

If these two actually got together one day in the future and had quarrels, Yuan Xin believed that Si Yue's hundreds of millions of fans would definitely be unable to beat Fu Yunruo's millions of fans. Each of her fans was a fierce superhuman who could defeat a hundred enemies, alright!

Si Yue didn't mind at all. His sub-account, after all, was a member of Fu Yunruo's fan group. Although he rarely spoke, with his identity as a super spender and one of the oldest fans, he had the right to manage other fans. This time, he actually provided a lot of help behind the fans' actions. Of course, he had no intention to tell his agent about this. Otherwise, the other party might be so shocked that he began to doubt life.

"This time, her image has plummeted and she won't be able to make any splash for a while. But with the Chang family and the Orange Entertainment behind, it is impossible to completely push her out of circulation."

Orange Entertainment was very determined to protect Fang Xueruo. In order to divert the public's attention, they took the initiative to expose the scandals of a lot of stars and even broke the news about the hidden marriage of one of their famous actor.

This incident caused a lot of tremors and greatly shifted the public attention.

But even so, Fu Yunruo's label as a black-hearted and vicious woman had been cleaned up, and Fang Xueruo's image had plummeted. In the future, she could no longer be as popular as before.

Si Yue was not surprised. Despite Fang Xueruo and Chang Zhuyou's mysterious extreme luck, their side was able to successfully destroy the couple's reputation without suffering backlash. Compared with the fate of those who had opposed the two in the past, they were already very lucky.

Si Yue pondered. Did it mean that the couple's luck had been exhausted?

Si Yue thought for a moment and finally decided to take it slow.

"Just keep a good eye on them, and let the video circulate for another day." Everything must be done in moderation. Those who should watch the video had watched it, and keeping the video online for too long might arouse a reversal in public opinion. What's more, the matter on the internet was only the first step, and the more fatal consequences were yet to come. In no time, Fang Xueruo's side would begin to be busy again.

"Alright." Yuan Xin responded.

"Is there anything else?" Si Yue started to drive out Yuan Xin. "If you are free, go back and find something to do."

Yuan Xin refused to leave, "I haven't greeted Yunruo and Wenwen yet." Then, without waiting for Si Yue to speak again, he quickly ran into the yard, leaving a gust of wind behind.

…

Wenwen was sitting on the small stool by the door, propping his chubby cheeks with both hands and sighing like a little adult.

Is he still Mom's favorite baby?

He wanted to help Mom taste-testing the meat, but she didn't give it to him!

Wenwen decided to be angry and ignore his mother for ten minutes! …or five minutes! Anyway, he was really angry!

When Yuan Xin dashed into the yard, he saw the little dumpling at a glance and hurriedly called with a smile, "Wenwen, do you still remember Uncle Yuan?"

Wenwen looked up and said happily, "Uncle Yuan!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Xin squatted in front of Wenwen. Like a magic trick, he suddenly took out a Transformer toy, "For you."

Wenwen glanced curiously.

"Wenwen doesn't like this gift? Uncle is sad." Yuan Xin said sadly.

Wenwen immediately took the toy, "I like it!"

Yuan Xin was happy. After picking up Wenwen, he didn't want to let the boy go.

Oh my god, why is this child so cute?

Si Yue came in and saw Yuan Xin playing with his son. He snorted. This guy only knew to be jealous of other people's child. If he liked children, why not have one on his own?

Fu Yunruo came out when she heard voices and saw her son was having fun with Yuan Xin, "Brother Yuan, you are here too?"

Hearing his mother's voice, Wenwen turned his head and happily ran over, "Mom, this is the Transformer Uncle Yuan gave me!" He completely forgot that he had sworn to ignore his mother for five minutes.

Fu Yunruo patted her son's head and smiled at Yuan Xin: "Wenwen has many toys, so you don't have to buy any next time." Then she added, "I've just finished making lunch. How about you stay to have a meal with us?"

Fu Yunruo secretly sighed in relief. It was fortunate that she actually made more food than usual because she guessed that Si Yue's appetite was large. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed if her guests couldn't eat enough.

"Of course." Yuan Xin replied immediately. He then secretly cast a proud glance at Si Yue. Look! In the end, the one who called shots in this family was still Fu Yunruo.

Wenwen took a full nap after lunch, then went out to find his friends. He was eager to instruct other children to be on the watch. If they caught sight of any strangers entering the village, they were to quickly inform him. To ensure his mother's safety, little Wenwen felt the need to eliminate any potential danger as much as possible.

Si Yue also went out, following the boy who departed with fighting spirit. However, Fu Yunruo was not alone at home because Auntie Mei was visiting.

In order to defend Fu Yunruo, Auntie Mei learned how to surf the internet. After knowing about Fu Yunruo's past, she was even more distressed.

No wonder such a young woman like Ruoruo would travel far away and come to this kind of remote place alone. She had no way to survive in that so-called home!

It was also no wonder that she cried so badly when she first came here…

Ruoruo's biological father must be blind! How could he be sweet-talked into such foolishness that he even didn't want such a good daughter?

Auntie Mei was so angry that she and her husband spent a few days scolding those people, but when facing Fu Yunruo, she didn't mention the bad past at all.

"It's good that A'Yue is living here." Auntie Mei said. Si Yue had been living in Mei family house, so he naturally greeted the couple before moving out.

Fu Yunruo replied: "I'm worried it will bring gossip…" Most important, however, was that Fu Yunruo felt uncomfortable. She had no experience living under the same roof with a man of her age, especially because they both had special situations.

Fu Yunruo could care less about anything people said about her on the internet as long as they didn't jump in front of her, but she didn't want to be talked behind her back by the villagers again like she had experienced when she had just arrived here.

Auntie Mei raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Who dares? See if I don't tear her mouth off!"

"In any case, you can't let him live next door, can you?"

Fu Yunruo was startled. Right, why didn't she think of letting him stay next door? But when she thought about it again, she realized that this idea wasn't feasible. There was indeed a family living right next door, but they had a pregnant daughter-in-law, so it was even more inconvenient for them to accept a live-in guest.

"Wenwen, that child…" Fu Yunruo was helpless. Forget it. It seemed that she had to quickly ask Tiantian to find one or two female bodyguards willing to come here. After all, hiring male bodyguards wouldn't solve the problem.

Fu Yunruo thought that her fear was unfounded, but Wenwen's state before still scared her, so hiring bodyguards was a must, even if it was just to appease Wenwen's heart.

Auntie Mei knew Fu Yunruo's worries and thought for a while, "Why don't I stay here too?"

Fu Yunruo's eyes lit up, and she nodded immediately, "Okay!"

Auntie Mei actually thought that Si Yue and Fu Yunruo were a good match, but Si Yue was a big star, and he must know many beautiful girls. In her opinion, Ruoruo was perfect, but it was inevitable that many people would mind the fact that she was a single mother with a child. So Auntie Mei suppressed her matchmaking desire and turned the topic to other places.

…

After Wenwen ran out, he gathered all the children from both this village and Xiahe Village next door, then stood in the middle to deliver a solemn speech.

A large group of children of different heights and stature listened to Wenwen's speech with all seriousness.

Finally, Wenwen declared solemnly with his still babyish voice: "Is it clear?"

"It's clear!" the children answered in unison.

"Repeat it again!"

Zhuangzhuang was the first to raise his hand and shouted: "Don't eat candy from strangers!"

Diandian followed loudly: "Don't talk to strangers!"

"Report to adults if we see strangers coming into the village!"

"Run away when we see danger…"

"…"

Seeing that his little friends had remembered all the points, Wenwen nodded with satisfaction.

"Wenwen, don't worry. We will definitely protect you and Big Sister Ruoruo!" Dashan patted his thick chest with a bang and then said proudly: "Wenwen, my aunt drove the bad woman out!" He saw it with his own eyes!

Wenwen was surprised. That woman was actually kicked out by the villagers?

Wenwen felt a little refreshed. That woman probably had never been treated like this before, right?

After being happy, Wenwen began to worry again. That woman was very narrow-minded; what if she held a grudge? No matter how united their villages were, they might not be able to resist.

Moreover, before the production team went here to shoot the variety show, they signed an agreement to make a donation to the villages, right? In this case, would the villages still get the promised donation?

The children didn't know Wenwen's worries. Seeing that their little leader had finished the speech, they surrounded him and asked, "Wenwen, shall we go play?"

"You can choose the game!" Without Wenwen, all games seemed to lose flavor.

The children looked at Wenwen eagerly. Seeing this, Wenwen hesitated, but he finally relented: "Okay. But I cannot play for too long."

Si Yue has been watching Wenwen all this time. Seeing how popular his son was, he was very proud. As expected of his son, he does well everywhere!

Wenwen, who said he couldn't play for too long, unknowingly played until the evening. It was not until Fu Yunruo arrived to take her son home that the group of little buns dispersed.

Fu Yunruo chatted with Auntie Mei all afternoon and also cleaned up another empty room by the way. Auntie Mei had household chores to do, so she only came to sleep at Fu Yunruo's house at night. During the day, she was still at home cooking for her husband and doing farm jobs. It was until after 5 pm that Auntie Mei returned home. After Auntie Mei left, Fu Yunruo put the warm sheets and quilts into the spare bedroom, helped make the bed, and spread the mat on top. Finished with the chores, she looked at the sky outside. The sun was about to set, but the little guy was still not back, so she decided to go out to pick him home.

Fu Yunruo met villagers on the way, chatted briefly, and asked where the children were playing. When she arrived at the destination, she didn't see the children immediately, but instead saw Si Yue sitting in the shade of a tree.

Fu Yunruo secretly wondered. Were big stars so leisurely? Didn't they have to run everywhere to shoot TV dramas, movies, and commercials? How could Si Yue have the time to watch the kids all day?

Si Yue also saw Fu Yunruo. He stood up and said very naturally, "Here to take Wenwen home?"

Fu Yunruo nodded. She hesitated and couldn't help but ask again, "Mr. Yue, will it really not disturb your work?"

Si Yue casually said, "Of course not."

Seeing that Fu Yunruo was still very worried about his work, Si Yue said again, "I am still in a resting period. The original intention of taking this variety show is also to relax." He just didn't expect to find so many surprises. Although people he didn't like to see jumped before him like a pair of clowns, these surprises were mostly happy ones.

"Mom!" When Wenwen's eyes caught Fu Yunruo, he quickly ran over and called happily. There was a thin layer of sweat on his chubby and lovely cheeks, which were flushed red with exercise.

"Mom!" Wenwen rushed over and hugged Fu Yunruo's thighs, showing two rows of cute baby teeth as he laughed.

"Time to go home!" Fu Yunruo smiled and took Wenwen's little chubby hand.

Si Yue walked over and took Wenwen's other hand quite naturally, "Well, it's time to go home."

Wenwen walked between the two adults, holding their hands. He turned his head at Fu Yunruo, then turned to look at Si Yue, suddenly feeling very happy.

Fu Yunruo was looking at the road, but out of a sudden, she felt a weightiness on her hand. She subconsciously held her son's hand tighter and lifted it up slightly, then she turned her head and looked at the boy.

Wenwen's two short legs were dangling in the air, and his whole body swayed like he was on a swing. The boy's face was full of a happy smile.

"Hahaha…"

Seeing Wenwen having so much fun, Si Yue raised his eyebrows and began to swing his hand. Wenwen was swayed back and forth, causing him to laugh even more joyfully.

Seeing this, Fu Yunruo hurriedly stopped them, "You can't swing like this. What if your arm gets dislocated?"

Fu Yunruo memorized everything she needed to pay attention to in every stage of children's growth. The bones of a child as young as Wenwen had not yet developed and thus were very fragile. Any serious damage would impact the future development of the bones or might cause recurrent dislocation, so adults should be careful when playing with children.

Wenwen coquettishly said, "Mom, I want to swing~" It's so fun!

"No."

"Mom, please~ I love you! I love Mom the most…"

From the side, Si Yue watched as Wenwen begged Fu Yunruo coquettishly with his tender and cute voice. He lifted Wenwen's chubby body, put it on his left, and then began to swing it back and forth.

Wenwen was still acting coquettishly with Fu Yunruo when he suddenly found himself being lifted to the air. His whole body was turned upside down, with his arms and legs dangled towards the sky. Then he was tossed to and fro like a large bell.

Si Yue swung for a while, then looked at the boy with a smile on his face, "Don't you love Uncle Yue the most?"

"…" Wenwen looked at Si Yue, expressionless. No, I don't, thank you.

Fu Yunruo burst out laughing: "Okay, now you've finished swinging, haven't you? Let's go home."

Si Yue looked at Wenwen, who suddenly became sullen. He was confused. Didn't this little guy want to be swing? Why did he suddenly become upset again?

When the three got home, Wenwen immediately twisted his body and jumped down to the ground before running quickly into the house.

Si Yue was totally confused. He turned aside and asked Fu Yunruo, "What's wrong with Wenwen?"

Fu Yunruo was half-laughing as she replied, "It's fine. That child is just sulking."

Si Yue: "…" So, what exactly made the little guy sulk?

Fu Yunruo thought for a while, "Why don't you help Wenwen take a bath?" Si Yue had helped Wenwen take a bath before, so there was no problem if he did it again.

Si Yue nodded and went to the bathroom to prepare the bathwater.

Fu Yunruo went to the bedroom to take out Wenwen's clothes. When she came out again, the two people who were in a one-sided quarrel had reconciled once again.

People said that children's mood was unpredictable as the weather in June, which held much truth.

Wenwen, who was still sulking at first, forgave Si Yue in an instant. He wanted to take a bath! He wanted to swim!

However, because Wenwen had played so much today, he had to rest first before taking a bath, and he also needed to wait until the hot water cooled down a bit. Fu Yunruo let the two guys alone and went to prepare dinner in the kitchen alone.

Wenwen's laughter kept coming from the bathroom, giving much liveliness to the house.

That evening, the three had a peaceful and lively meal. Si Yue and Wenwen played in the yard after dinner, while Fu Yunruo took a rest before going to take a bath.

After finishing the bath, Fu Yunruo washed her and Wenwens's clothes, then hung them to dry under the eaves. Meanwhile, the two men in the yard were playing a toss. Si Yue hugged Wenwen and tossed him upward before catching him again, causing the little guy's laughter to almost break through the sky.

Fu Yunruo was worried for a moment when she saw Wenwen being tossed so high, but seeing that Si Yue was able to catch the boy easily every time, she let go of her worry. At the same time, Fu Yunruo was also amazed. Sure enough, there was a big difference in physical strength between men and women. Although Wenwen was half a head shorter than his peers, he had a chubby body and was quite heavy. Fu Yunruo's hands felt sore after holding him for just ten minutes, let alone playing toss like that.

Fu Yunruo noticed that the two had been playing like this for at least ten minutes and couldn't help but say, "Okay, Wenwen, stop pestering your Uncle Yue."

Wenwen still wanted to play, but he was aware of his own weight and knew that he had played long enough to make Uncle Yue tired, so he obediently said: "Uncle Yue, you can let me down."

Si Yue put Wenwen on the ground.

Wenwen quickly ran to Fu Yunruo's side.

Fu Yunruo listened to her son's babble for a while, then said to Si Yue: "Mr. Yue, you can use the bathroom now."

Si Yue nodded and entered the house.

Fu Yunruo sat on the chair. Wenwen also climbed up and snuggled into Fu Yunruo's arms. After he was comfortably seated, the boy found that the mobile phone was still above his head, so he urged his mother: "Mom, I want to watch too!"

Fu Yunruo pinched his face, "What a busy little guy!" In the end, she still indulged the boy and let him watch the screen.

Fu Yunruo had just started video chatting with Tiantian. When Tiantian saw Wenwen's face on the screen, her voice softened several degrees as she greeted the boy with excitement: "Wenwen, have you eaten? What did you eat? What did you play today?"

"Aunt Tiantian~" Wenwen called sweetly, then began to reply to the question one by one. The two, one big and one small, chatted happily across the screen.

Finally, Fu Yunruo took control of the call again.

Tiantian was reluctant to part with cute Wenwen, but she still got to the point and began to report the latest development on the internet to Fu Yunruo in detail. Their side was almost evenly matched with the enemy now. Although this incident was still hot, the popularity had dropped a lot due to the impact of other hot scandals.

Because of Orange Entertainment's crazy behavior, the whole entertainment industry was in crisis. Except for a small number of people, which well-known stars had no secrets or scandals? Orange Entertainment exploded these news one after another, not even sparing their own artists. No one could guarantee that they wouldn't be the next one, so everyone was hoping this incident to pass quickly.

Fu Yunruo had already vented her anger, so she regarded this matter as over for the time being.

On the contrary, Tiantian was still indignant and couldn't stand seeing Fu Yunruo was wronged so much.

Fu Yunruo changed the subject and talked about the matter of hiring female bodyguards. Tiantian had no experience in this level, so she didn't know much, let alone recommend a trustworthy bodyguard. However, Panda Live had a contract with a security company, so Tiantian promised to contact the related department later. After that, the two chatted for a while before hanging up.

Fu Yunruo then logged into her livestream channel to check the private messages and comments. It took her a while to scan over the unread private messages, which had exceeded 9999+. Fu Yunruo obviously couldn't read all of them, so she picked a few at random and typed some replies. After that, Fu Yunruo remembered that she hadn't done any livestream for several days, so she published an announcement on the channel, informing the time of the livestreaming tomorrow.

Suddenly hearing a movement, Fu Yunruo looked up and saw a half-naked, wet-haired shirtless man walking out of the house in loose-fitting trousers only.

Si Yue approached Fu Yunruo, wet clothes in hands, asking: "Where can I hang clothes to dry?"

Fu Yunruo's face flushed red, and she stammered as she pointed in a direction: "Y-you can hang your clothes over there."

Si Yue nodded, turned around, and walked towards the clothesline. Seeing there was an empty hanger, he used it to hang his clothes.

Only then did Fu Yunruo remember that her own underwear was still hanging at the same place, and her face turned even redder.

She was too careless…

How embarrassing!

She must take those underwear back to her room as soon as possible!

Wenwen's attention was all on Si Yue. At this moment, he was full of envy. This body figure was even better than his in the future! Could he get such a good figure in this life? Wenwen's eyes were red with jealousy.

After the jealousy was over, he thought again. After 20 years, he would be at his best age, but Uncle Yue would be in his forty or fifty and probably would have become a fat middle-aged uncle!

This thought made Wenwen happy, and all the jealousy was washed away in an instant. In the end, Uncle Yue's figure couldn't even compare with his after he grew up!

Fu Yunruo saw that Si Yue was not in a hurry to get clothed, so she couldn't help but say: "P-please put on your clothes first."

Fu Yunruo wanted to cover her face, but she couldn't help glancing straight at the beautiful scenery right before her eyes. Who said that only women had beauty charm? Men had it too!

Si Yue looked at himself, and then at the blush on Fu Yunruo's beautiful face, "It's hot."

He took a cold bath, but his metabolism seemed to be affected by the many exercises he frequently did, so his body was still hot.

Having said that, Si Yue finally put on some clothes.

Fu Yunruo sighed in relief.

Si Yue also picked up a chair and sat in the yard to enjoy the cool breeze. He was holding a mobile phone in his hand and looking at the screen leisurely.

Wenwen was very curious. What was Uncle Yue watching? Overcame with curiosity, the boy slipped down from his mother's lap, ran to Si Yue, and climbed up to his knees. After seating himself, Wenwen raised his head and asked: "Uncle Yue, can I watch it too?"

Wenwen wanted to know: Is Uncle Yue watching a movie to enrich his acting knowledge? Or is he reading a script?

Si Yue looked down and saw the boy's bright eyes. He tapped the screen a few times, then showed it to Wenwen.

Si Yue's mobile phone was playing a cartoon popular among children.

Wenwen snorted disdainfully, "Uncle Yue, you are so childish! Even I don't watch this cartoon."

"Why don't you watch it?"

"The cat is so stupid! It can't even catch the mouse! Zhuangzhuang's cat Dahua can catch any mouse at once."

"Really? So great?"

"Yeah, look, this cat is too stupid. It has caught the mouse, but still let it go!"

"…"

Wenwen's eyes were glued to the screen as he and Si Yue discussed the cartoon with great interest.

After a while, a voice came from outside, "Ruoruo?"

"Auntie Mei, you're here." Fu Yunruo responded and quickly got up to open the gate.

Auntie Mei walked in with a smile. Seeing saw Si Yue and Wenwen sitting together affectionately, her smile deepened.

After Fu Yunruo bolted the gate again, she turned around and walked over.

"Grandma Mei," Wenwen called happily.

"Auntie Mei, are you looking for Yunruo?" Si Yue asked. It was already nine o'clock. Farmers were generally early risers, especially people of Auntie Mei's age, and she and her husband usually went to bed before nine-thirty.

"No, that's not it." Auntie Mei laughed.

Fu Yunruo explained, "Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. Auntie Mei will also stay here temporarily, so we can take care of each other."

Si Yue: "…"

Auntie Mei sat in the yard for a while, chatting with Fu Yunruo. When it was half past nine, Fu Yunruo said to Wenwen, "It's time for bed."

Wenwen was still in high spirits and said dissatisfiedly: "Wait, Mom, this episode hasn't been finished yet…"

Fu Yunruo said again, "You won't grow taller if you sleep late."

Si Yue said: "I'll put him to bed."

Wenwen's eyes lit up. He turned to Fu Yunruo and said, "Mom, I want to sleep with Uncle Yue!"

"No, you will both-…" Before Fu Yunruo finished speaking, Si Yue interrupted, "It's okay."

Fu Yunruo stared at the two guys, one big and one small, who looked very eager. She wanted to say no, but in the end, she didn't want to be a bully and finally relented, "Then you must promise that you won't wake up Uncle Yue in the middle of the night because you cannot sleep."

"I won't, I won't." Wenwen shook his head like a rattle.

Si Yue carried Wenwen back to his guest room.

Fu Yunruo warned them, "Go to sleep before ten o'clock!"

Auntie Mei watched their interaction with a smile. After Si Yue and Wenwen left, she happily said to Fu Yunruo, "They get along so well."

"Yes." Fu Yunruo nodded in agreement. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Fu Yunruo would not believe that her son could get along so closely with someone he had just known. That little guy probably would cry when Si Yue had to leave.

Seeing that Fu Yunruo didn't have another thought, Auntie Mei stopped talking, but she smiled meaningfully.

Not long after, Fu Yunruo and Auntie Mei also went to bed. Fu Yunruo wasn't used to the lack of a mini human heater on her bed, but after turning around for half an hour, she finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Fu Yunruo got up and cooked breakfast, then she prepared to go to the flower garden.

Si Yue heard the movement and came out. Seeing that Fu Yunruo was about to go out, he asked, "Are you going to the flower garden?"

"Yes, the work there is quite busy, so I can't leave Uncle Guo alone for too long." She was also worried about the old man's health, so it was indeed time to go back. "Is Wenwen awake?" She asked Si Yue.

"No." Si Yue replied, "Wait a sec, I'll go with you."

"Uh…" Fu Yunruo hesitated, "It's very safe there." The flower garden was surrounded by a metal wire fence and equipped with surveillance cameras, so unknown people couldn't get in. She basically never took a step out of the garden, so it was very safe.

Fu Yunruo went to wake Wenwen up and came out carrying the still sleepy little boy. She didn't know when they went to sleep last night, but she didn't hear any noises from the bedroom, so she didn't check, believing that Si Yue wouldn't break the promise.

Si Yue went for a quick wash, then packed a set of clothes and came out again, as if he was afraid of being left behind.

After some hesitations, Fu Yunruo said again, "Mr. Yue, why don't you stay here? There is no vacant room in the garden…"

Si Yue didn't care, "It's okay, I can sleep with Wenwen."

Fu Yunruo: "…"

Wenwen rubbed his still sleepy eyes and said to Si Yue: "Uncle Yue, I sleep with Mom!"

Si Yue: "…" He thought Wenwen had a separate room long ago.

Si Yue looked at Wenwen, who was snuggling in his mother's arms. At almost four years old, this little guy was no longer very young, and it was time to practice independence. Changed to himself, he had had a separate bedroom since he was born and never slept with his parents.

In the end, Si Yue went to the flower garden with Fu Yunruo and Wenwen.

After handing Wenwen over to Si Yue, Fu Yunruo hurried to the flower shed. Because of the morning delay, she was almost late. Fortunately, Fu Yunruo managed to log into her channel and turned on the livestream equipment one minute before the scheduled time.

People were already waiting on Fu Yunruo's channel. As soon as she started the livestream, she was showered with gifts and barrages of comments.

[Yunyun, Yunyun! You are finally here!]

[I miss you, Yunyun!]

[Will Yunyun show your face today?]

"Good morning, everyone." Fu Yunruo greeted her fans. Looking at the comment barrages, many people wanted to see her face.

Fu Yunruo thought for a moment. Since her identity had been exposed, it no longer mattered whether she showed her face or not.

Moreover, the fans had helped her so much, so it was time to meet their demands.

So Fu Yunruo adjusted the camera's angle and, for the first time, showed her face to her fans.

Beauty crit!

At close range, the audience could see the fair and flawless face under the camera more clearly. Their idol was very beautiful. Despite the close proximity to the camera, there were no flaws on her face, only a perfect beauty that took one's breath away.

These fine facial features, this soft and white skin… it's so beautiful! How did she maintain her beauty? Didn't Yunyun say that she is living in the remote countryside?

How could she stay this beautiful? She already gave birth to a child, ah!

[Where does this peerless beauty come from?]

[My heart freeze when she smiles!]

[It's so sweet, too sweet. The sweetness comes to attack my heart!]

[The most beautiful scenery in the world is the moment Yunyun raises her eyes.]

[So cute!]

[+1000!]

The girls who admired Fu Yunruo's beauty then turned to the mirror to look at their own faces with envy. They also wanted to be so beautiful, ah!

But they also didn't mind staying as they were now. Everyone had their own good points, alright!

When Fu Yunruo looked up again, the audience was already filling the entire screen with a barrage of fancy compliments. Seeing this, Fu Yunruo was a little embarrassed, feeling that the fans were looking at her with a 100-meter-thick filter.

The barrage of comments came endlessly, and the livestream's popularity value increased exponentially.

Fu Yunruo thought to herself: how curious were her fans about her appearance?

At the same time, prompts notifying incoming gifts kept popping out. In a blink of an eye, Fu Yunruo had received several seas of flowers.

Fu Yunruo hurriedly stopped her fans, "You don't need to spend any money. Just send me little bamboos if you want to gift." The little bamboo was a free gift the app gave to users every day, which they could use to give to their favorite streamers. Of course, neither the streamer nor the app would benefit financially from this free gift.

Despite Fu Yunruo's plea, the audience's enthusiasm was not diminished. Seeing gifts kept pouring in like a waterfall, she simply turned off the gift feature on her channel.

[Ah, ah, aah! Yunyun, we are wrong. Please turn on the gift once again!]

[We promise not to flood you with gifts! Only one flower at a time!]

When Fu Yunruo saw these comments, she pretended not to see them. Knowing her fans, there was no way they would be so obedient!

The fans were unable to express their love with gifts, so the comments exploded again, covering the entire screen with a dense barrage.

Fu Yunruo was dazzled by the sight, so she stopped watching and instead started talking to the audience. She looked into the camera and said sincerely, "I have seen all the things that happened on the internet these past two days. I am really grateful for all the things you have done for me. Thank you." Fu Yunruo bowed.

The fans quickly filled the screen with 'You're welcome' or 'This is nothing.'

[Bullying my youngest child's mom is equal to bullying me. How can I bear this anger!]

[If somebody wants to bully my cub, they have to step over my corpse first!]

[Right, right. Yunyun is my child's mother. How can I not protect you?]

[Wait a moment, Yunyun is my child's mother, not yours!]

[You want to fight? Come!]

[Come!]

[I'm waiting leisurely for the fight to end so I can deliver the final blow to the winner, haha.]

The fans were fighting hard to claim the position of 'main spouse' when several malicious comments suddenly appeared on the barrage.

Before Fu Yunruo had time to react, the fans who were still busy fighting each other had a temporary truce and immediately banded together to crush their common enemies.

[Whose rabid dog runs here to annoy people? Leash your dog, please!]

[Cannot they see whose territory is this? What gives them the courage to come here and make a fool of themselves?]

[The exit is right behind you. Have a safe journey~]

Even on Weibo, Fu Yunruo's fans were able to beat their enemies into pulp. Now those people dared to come to their territory and make a fuss? What made this situation different from little lambs running into a pack of wolves? Not to mention anything, the fans could easily drown these haters relying on the sheer difference in numbers alone.

When the haters came to Fu Yunruo's channel, they were very aggressive. But in just a moment, every single of them had been driven away disheartenedly.

The comments section quickly regained its harmony.

The fans also comforted Fu Yunruo and assured her not to take these haters to heart.

Fu Yunruo was their idol; no one could bully her in their watch!

Fu Yunruo thanked her fans again and gained a more intuitive understanding of their fighting prowess.

[So, when can we finally see our cub?]

The audience was not satisfied after seeing Fu Yunruo's real face. They also wanted to see their cub, ah~

This one comment triggered a wave of echoes. In an instant, the screen flashed with countless comments asking to see the cub.

Fu Yunruo was troubled, as she didn't want Wenwen to be exposed to the public too soon. Now that Wenwen's video on the internet had finally disappeared, she didn't want his face to circulate in the public space again.

The fans understood Fu Yunruo's feelings as a mother, so they didn't force this request. However, many of them expressed their regret of not seeing the video before it was taken down.

In the end, the fans took a step back and said that it was okay for the cub to not show his face, but can you let him come and say a few words to them, please?

Fu Yunruo thought about it for a moment and finally agreed. She turned the camera to the beautiful pots of orchids, told the audience that she was going to fetch the child, then walked out of the flower room.

As soon they arrived at the flower garden this morning, Fu Yunruo handed Wenwen over to Si Yue before hurriedly running to prepare the livestream.

After seeing Fu Yunruo leave in such a hurry, the two men looked at each other for a moment.

"Mom is in a hurry to work." Wenwen calmly waved his hand. His mother had to work hard to support the family on her own!

The boy then turned to Si Yue once again and proposed enthusiastically: "Uncle Yue, let's plant orchids!"

Wenwen still remembered that he had promised Uncle Yue to try growing orchids in the different environments together. Now that they finally were here, it's time to fulfill the promise!

Si Yue's eyes brightened. Right! He hadn't tried growing orchids for quite some time now; maybe he would finally succeed this time!

The two immediately hit it off. Wenwen took Si Yue to a room in the bungalow to find suitable equipment, took out his own child-sized equipment, and then went excitedly to plant orchids with Si Yue.

When Fu Yunruo found them, the two men were already busy planting orchids on the rooftop of the bungalow. Next to them were two orchid seedlings, already planted exactly the same way on a flat piece of soil. The flower bed they made was quite wide but totally empty, saved for the two pitiful, lonely-looking seedlings.

Wenwen pointed to the less robust orchid and said to Si Yue: "This is yours." Then he pointed to the remaining orchid that looked obviously taller and sturdier than the one next to it, claiming: "This one is mine."

Wenwen shrewdly made insurance for himself. By claiming the stronger-looking one as his own, even if… even if both orchids died again this time, Uncle Yue's would surely die first. Like this, he wouldn't be the one who loses face.

Perfect!

Si Yue saw through the boy's shrewd thinking, but instead of indulging him, he said: "But I also want that orchid."

Wenwen's eyes widened in surprise, "Uncle Yue, you want to fight me over an orchid?" Full of disbelief, he argued, "You are an adult. Don't you feel ashamed arguing with a child?" What about the principle of respecting the old and loving the young? What about modesty and politeness?

Si Yue said, "I'm your elder. Shouldn't you honor me?"

Wenwen was stunned.

Si Yue folded his arms, "You refuse to give in for me, so why should I do the same for you? Now you are young and think it's a given for adults to give in for you, but have you ever thought about the future? When you grow up, no one will indulge you again."

"…" Wenwen looked at Si Yue and said quietly, "Politeness is a virtue."

Si Yue casually said, "Politeness is indeed a virtue, but one cannot be polite without a bottom line."

Wenwen: "…" He was still a child, why was this person reason so seriously with him?

"What are you going to do then?" Wenwen decided to no longer regard Si Yue as his idol. This person even bullied a child!

"A-anyway, I want this orchid. If you don't let me, I will cry!" Wenwen put his hands on the hip and threatened fiercely.

Si Yue: "…" Think he would be threatened by this?

…he would, though.

Moments later, Wenwen stared lovingly at the orchid he had planted and belonged to him, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. He and Si Yue had exchanged their orchid-growing experiences. By learning from each other's strengths and making up for the other's weaknesses, he believed that they would definitely succeed this time!

Meanwhile, Si Yue was still very happy despite his failure to claim the strong-looking orchid as his own. Now that he had changed places, he might be able to succeed this time!

When Fu Yunruo arrived at the rooftop, what she saw was the two men, one big and one small, looking happily at the patch of soil they had turned upside down. Fu Yunruo suddenly had an inexplicable feeling… Somehow, she thought their expressions were very similar to each other. People said that those who got close to ink would get black, and those who got close to cinnabar would get red, which was extremely true.

After Wenwen spent so much time with Si Yue, he subconsciously began to imitate Si Yue everywhere.

"Wenwen." Fu Yunruo called.

Wenwen turned his head and was happy to see his mother. "Mom!" He ran over. "What about your work? Is it finished?" The boy blinked puzzledly. Had time passed so fast?

Seeing that Si Yue was here, Fu Yunruo was too embarrassed to mention her job, so she took Wenwen downstairs and explained with a low voice: "Wenwen, the fans want to talk with you. Are you willing?"

Wenwen tilted his head. He didn't even think about it and immediately nodded: "Okay!"

Wenwen was actually very curious about his mother's livestream channel, but Fu Yunruo didn't want him to be exposed to the public so early. As a good, sensible boy, Wenwen had always been obedient to his mother. He also always wanted to be a real child, and thus never took the initiative to touch things that shouldn't be touched at his age. Therefore, despite his curiosity, Wenwen had never seen what Fu Yunruo was like in front of the audience.

Wenwen knew that when his mother was attacked maliciously on the internet, it was her fans who helped fight back for her, so he also wished to thank them for helping his mother.

When Fu Yunruo saw her son's eagerness, she suddenly hesitated, but she still decided to respect the child's opinion.

Seeing that Wenwen's hands and feet were covered in mud, Fu Yunruo first took him to the faucet to wash his hands, feet, and face.

It was at this time that Si Yue came down from the rooftop. Wenwen saw him and called loudly, "Uncle Yue, I have something to do, so the rest of the work will be left to you." Wenwen puffed his chest and said proudly, "I'm going to work!"

Starting today, he would also be open for business!

Taking Fu Yunruo's hand, Wenwen ran to the flower shed excitedly.

Oops, after many years without doing livestreams, he suddenly missed it a little!

Fu Yunruo nodded to Si Yue with a polite smile, then quickly walked to the flower shed with Wenwen.

Si Yue overheard a bit of their conversation. Were they going to do livestream? Instead of following the two, he calmly took out his mobile phone, tapped on the Panda Live app, and entered Fu Yunruo's channel.

The channel status showed that a livestream session was broadcasting, and the camera was facing the eldest child. After successfully mutated, the eldest child had also been promoted as the fans' number one favorite. However, there were not many comments about orchids right now, and the screen was full of 'nervously waiting' emojis from the fans instead.

Si Yue didn't have to wait long. Just a moment later, the camera was moved, and Fu Yunruo's figure appeared on the screen.

Fu Yunruo adjusted the camera's angle, ensuring that the lens would only capture Wenwen's figure from the neck below before she called, "Baobao, you can come in."

Wenwen calmly walked in front of the camera, then sat on a chair specially prepared by Fu Yunruo.

In an instant, the barrage was full of screams. The fans kept calling their favorite nickname 'our youngest,' 'my cub,' 'baby,' etc… followed with flowery phrases like "Mom (Dad) loves you!"

It's my cub, ahhh!

The screen was filled black with an endless stream of dense barrages, so much that Fu Yunruo almost suspected that the app couldn't support the huge amount of data and froze.

After their excitement subsided a little, the fans began to shower Wenwen with fancy compliments. From the tip of his chubby jaw to the shoes he was wearing, everyone couldn't wait to find the world's most perfect adjective to describe every aspect of their little cub's appearance. Even his face, which was safely hidden, did not escape the fans' display of love.

Wenwen looked at the camera and greeted, "Aunts, Uncles, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, hello! My name is Wenwen." Wenwen thought that he was giving his most solemn greetings, but when the fans heard his cute and tender voice, their hearts melted into puddles.

They began to scream again: Ah, ah, aaaah! Too cute!

"Thank you for supporting Mom," Wenwen made a heart shape with his hands, "I love you!"

At this instant, countless people seemed to be struck by a critical hit. Their heads went blank for a moment, and they couldn't help screaming inwardly: How can their cub be so cute?

The crowd clamored the cub to talk more. They loved his cute voice!

Si Yue watched the livestream with gusto. Out of habit, he opened the gift menu, preparing to send another pile of lavish gifts. However, he found out that the gifts could not be sent.

Si Yue sent a question: why did you turn off the gift feature?

When Fu Yunruo saw the dazzling golden username, she explained: "I don't want my audience to spend too much money. If you like my channel and want to support me, it's enough to leave encouraging comments."

At the beginning of her career, Fu Yunruo accepted the gifts because she was short of money. Now that her income was stable, she didn't want the people who watched her channel to spend too much money on her. Fu Yunruo's main income now was no longer the gifts, but the brand recognition and commercial value of her channel. Because of the huge number of her followers, brands came to Fu Yunruo for endorsement contracts, not to mention other deals like that cooperation with the music diva Liu Zhi. Occasionally, Fu Yunruo also helped Uncle Guo sell ordinary orchids they grew together.

After Fu Yunruo's repeated persuasion, fans rarely sent her expensive gifts again. Many of them still sent her gifts frequently, but it was either a free bamboo or a one-yuan flower, so Fu Yunruo didn't turn off the gift feature.

Today, however, Fu Yunruo found that her fans didn't listen to her…

They might be feeling that she had been wronged so badly and were determined to make it up to her…

Fu Yunruo decided to modify the gift-sending permissions later. In the future, her channel would only accept free bamboo gifts or single flowers worth one yuan each.

Si Yue frowned, but said nothing. Secretly, however, he decided to have a talk with the one in charge of Panda Live later. Let them set his account to the highest authority so that he could override the channel's setting!

After Si Yue learned about Fu Yunruo's identity as the Yujuan Yunshu, he could tell that the reason Fu Yunruo started the livestream at the beginning was to make money to raise her son.

Si Yue glanced at the 'golden halo' surrounding his username, proof of his identity as the number one gift-sender in the channel. Rounding up, he actually helped support the mother and son!

This realization made Si Yue satisfied. Sure enough, he had foresight. Now that the relationship between them had not been revealed, Fu Yunruo would definitely not accept his child support. But with this livestream channel as the media, it would be different. He could send gifts every day, which could be regarded as providing for his family in a roundabout way.

Wenwen chatted in front of the camera for a while. Seeing how relaxed he was, Fu Yunruo watched silently from the side. After some time passed, she told Wenwen to say goodbye to the fans, then herded him out of the flower room.

The audience let out disappointed voices. They still wanted to continue talking with the cub! They could listen to his cute voice forever!

Fu Yunruo ignored the wailings of her fans. After taking Wenwen out, she returned to the flower room and resumed the livestream as usual.

Seeing Fu Yunruo resume the normal livestream, the audience knew that they couldn't make her change her mind, so they quickly shifted their focus on the other orchid siblings.

A heated discussion soon emerged. How is my son today? I haven't seen him for a few days, and I miss him so much!

Si Yue watched the livestream for a while. He really wanted to go to the flower shed to see his beloved little eleventh directly, but he was worried that his sudden intrusion would affect Fu Yunruo. After all, his face was very well-known. If he appeared on Fu Yunruo's livestream channel, another hot gossip would explode on the internet in mere minutes.

But…he really wanted to see eleventh child, ah.

Si Yue's heart was itching with curiosity.

In the end, Si Yue failed to resist the temptation. After closing the app, he walked to the flower shed.

Si Yue stood at the door and peeped in, but did not hear any movements inside.

"What are you doing looking like a thief here?"
