11. 51 to 55

Fu Yunruo turned around. Seeing Si Yue standing behind, she whispered apologetically, "Did I wake you up?" She tried to move as silently as possible, but it seemed that she still disturbed Si Yue's sleep.

"I just came out for some drink." Si Yue shook the cup in his hand, showing that Fu Yunruo didn't wake him up. It was normally not his bedtime yet.

Si Yue put down the cup of hot tea and poured half of its content into another cup he had brought with him. He then moved a stool, sat next to Fu Yunruo, and gave one of the cups to her.

Fu Yunruo took it and thanked him.

The stool was very short, especially for someone as tall as Si Yue. After he sat down, his long legs had nowhere to settle, so he casually stretched them out.

For a while, the two fell into silence. The night was so quiet, with only the sound of cicadas and frogs. Fu Yunruo held the cup in both hands. After feeling that the temperature was no longer scalding, she took a small sip and gradually felt her mood calming down.

Si Yue suddenly asked, "Are you going to stay in this village forever?"

"Of course not." Fu Yunruo said, "After all, the educational resources here are not as good as in big cities. Wenwen is growing up, and he needs to go to school." She had asked Tiantian's help to do house hunting on her behalf, but considering her needs and criteria, it would take some time. She couldn't possibly move before finding a new house.

In the beginning, Fu Yunruo chose to open her studio in the capital city of Beijing mainly because she had acquaintances and friends there, so that she wouldn't start from zero in a completely unfamiliar environment. This was also one of the reasons why she wanted to take Wenwen to move there. Today's incident, however, caused her to waver again. People from 'Fu Yunruo' past were popping up one after another, and they all also lived in Beijing. Fu Yunruo liked tranquility, and she would hate to have her life disturbed like today.

After all, it was very annoying to have flies flying around her all the time.

But on second thought, why should she avoid them? They surely didn't have that much free time to block her every few days, right? If she deliberately canceled her plan to move to Beijing because of them, it would seem that she was afraid of them. The resources in the capital were abundant, especially since she was raising a child — why should she wrong herself and her son?

Fu Yunruo was originally considering whether to change the city, but now that she thought about it again, she promptly changed her mind. She did nothing wrong, so why should she give up a more familiar and better environment for such people?

"…" Si Yue's eyes secretly gleamed, but he pretended to be nonchalant, "Are you going to Beijing?"

Fu Yunruo nodded, "I'm going to visit at the end of the month."

"When are you going to move?"

"No hurry. Probably later in the year."

"I see. Well, if you have any difficulties, feel free to contact me. I will certainly come to your help."

Fu Yunruo nodded. "Okay. I will give you a call if I really need your help." Of course, she didn't think she would encounter such problems.

"If you don't want to see those people again, I can also help." Si Yue originally thought those people were still a bit useful — once he helped Fu Yunruo resolve the knot in her heart, she surely wouldn't have to worry anymore. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Fu Yunruo had long made the plan, and Si Yue found his previous action to be redundant.

Fu Yunruo looked at Si Yue in surprise, but she shook her head and politely refused, "I can handle my own affairs."

Although Si Yue had the backing of his company, fighting against the couple with their protagonist halo was not a wise move. Fu Yunruo didn't want to see him ruining his bright future because of her.

"You've done enough for us." Fu Yunruo said again. No matter how fond was Si Yue of Wenwen, she couldn't possibly accept his help unscrupulously.

Si Yue fell silent again. After a while, he asked, "What do you think of the Fu family?"

"Ah?" Fu Yunruo was caught off guard and didn't react for a while.

"What do you think about Chairman Fu?" This was related to how he should treat his son's maternal grandfather. After all, everything depends on the opinion of the child's mother.

Fu Yunruo hesitated, "If I say that I no longer regard him as my father, would you think I am cold-blooded?"

Compared with the one in this world, her father in her original world was simply the best. Although she spent less time with her parents she was young, both her father and her mother loved her very much. They always remembered her birthday and sent her presents, and they always tried their best to accompany her on special days…

Having such a good father as a comparison, Fu Yunruo was unable to accept this 'father.'

However, Fu Yunruo knew that she could never escape from this blood relationship. If she, as the child, took the initiative to cut off the relationship, the world would condemn only her and point their fingers at her in blame.

Fu Yunruo was not afraid of rumors, but she had to consider Wenwen. The existence of this child gave her unlimited courage and power to overcome any difficulties, but he was also her biggest weakness. Fu Yunruo couldn't bear to let him face even the smallest malice.

"Sometimes I really don't know what I should do…" She couldn't keep ignoring the past of the body she now occupied. Sooner or later, she would have to resolve it, no matter how the outcome was.

"No." Si Yue looked straight into Fu Yunruo's eyes and slowly said, "You have done a good job."

"No matter what you want to do, I will support you."

Fu Yunruo looked up in a daze. For some reason, she found Si Yue to be extremely dazzling at the moment, so much so that she didn't dare to meet his eyes.

Fu Yunruo responded in a low voice, feeling much more relaxed. She decided to temporarily forget about the matter and to deal with it when the time came. In any case, she should take her steps at her own pace.

"It's late. Go back and take a good rest."

Fu Yunruo nodded. Thinking that she had left for a long and worried that Wenwen might wake up, she was ready to return to bed. She stood up and said, "Then I'll return to my room. Mr. Yue, thank you and good night."

"Good night."

Si Yue waited until Fu Yunruo returned to her room, and only then did he go back to his room and call Yuan Xin right away. Once the call was connected, Si Yue immediately ordered the agent to check whether Fu Yunruo was going to buy a house or rent, and to watch the whole process. In the case she met any difficulties, he was to provide help as necessary.

"Have you persuaded her?" Yuan Xin was impressed by Si Yue's adeptness. It shouldn't be easy to persuade Fu Yunruo so quickly.

Si Yue: "…" He had prepared a lot of persuasive words, but didn't even use a single of them because Fu Yunruo had long had this plan.

Of course Si Yue wouldn't mention such a thing that brought shame upon himself, but Yuan Xin had been Si Yue's agent for ten years and knew quite a bit of his temperament, and thus was occasionally able to understand some of his thoughts. Noticing Si Yue's unusual silence, Yuan Xin's brain quickly moved, and he tentatively asked, "Did she make the decision herself?"

Si Yue: "…goodbye." This agent was smart when he shouldn't be.

Amidst Yuan Xin's sudden burst of laughter, Si Yue hung up the call. His brows twitched — what's so funny anyway? In any case, the end result was indeed what he wanted despite a little mishap in the process, so Si Yue was in a good mood.

In the next two days, no one came to annoy Fu Yunruo again, making her relieved. However, another group of people came to knock on her door. After listening to the request from the production team, Fu Yunruo was stunned for a long time, "You want me to appear on your show?"

"Yes, Miss Fu. I hope you can consider it. Our show will pay you an additional 20% of your base fee." Director Peng sincerely persuaded, "and you don't have to redo the shoot from the beginning. We only need you to finish the remaining five scheduled days."

The director's sincerity was not without reason, as they were now at their wit's end. After knowing that Fang Xueruo was back two days ago, Director Pang came directly to see her and finally got a definitive answer about Fang Xueruo's withdrawal. With this, the production team could finally look for someone else to save the scene, but another problem was looming.

The schedules of first-liner stars were naturally full, and they couldn't find someone with an open schedule on such short notice. Meanwhile, the stars who could come at a moment's notice were not as famous as Fang Xueruo. Although Fang Xueruo's image was heavily damaged by the recent fiasco, her popularity was not something that second-tier stars could casually step in and replace. Not only was the backing behind her not easy to provoke, but she was also equipped with crazy fans, which scared ordinary stars.

The stars who were not afraid of Fang Xueruo had their schedules full, while those who could come were afraid of the consequences of offending Fang Xueruo, resulting in a current deadlock where the production team couldn't find anyone to save the scene.

Was this show doomed to die?

When the team was having a headache, the assistant director made a desperate suggestion: ask Fu Yunruo!

Director Peng's eyes lit up immediately. This idea was brilliant!

During her previous open dispute with Fang Xueruo, Fu Yunruo gained some public coverage. Not only that, but she also turned out to be one of the first-line names in the livestreaming industry, with many fans of her own!

And her fans had only seen her true face recently, which made the timing perfect.

Before Fu Yunruo's identity was revealed, she managed to become several trending topics based on her looks alone, indicating that she had a popular face. And Fu Yunruo was already living here, so as long as they could persuade her to join, the shooting could immediately start!

The more Director Peng thought about it, the more he liked this idea. Without further ado, he and the assistant director quickly went to Fu Yunruo's house and directly stated their request.

Fu Yunruo was stunned. Why did the director want her to join the show? No matter how she looked at it, it had nothing to do with her, right?

"Miss Fu, you are our last hope. If the shooting doesn't resume soon, the show itself will bust!"

"We've been thinking about it, and you are our most suitable candidate…"

Director Peng's voice kept crackling endlessly, making Fu Yunruo a little dizzy.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot accept this offer. How about you look for someone else?" Fu Yunruo had no interest in participating in a variety show, let alone as Fang Xueruo's replacement, which made her feel disgusted.

"Miss Fu…"

Suddenly, a small head popped in. A little boy was clinging to the door, blinking his lively big eyes, "Grandpa Director, are you inviting Mom to join your show?"

Wenwen's gaze scanned across the room. Was his mother going to join the entertainment industry?

Director Peng said with a smile: "Yes! Little boy, do you want to see your mother on TV?"

Director Peng had a good impression of this little guy and subconsciously softened his voice.

Fu Yunruo looked at her naughty son and said helplessly: "Children cannot interrupt when adults talk."

Wenwen's chubby cheeks suddenly bulged, "I'm not a child anymore. I've grown up!" The boy ran into the living room and declared solemnly, "Mom will not go."

The water in the entertainment industry was very deep. He hadn't grown up yet and didn't have the ability to protect his mother, so he wouldn't let her go into that water alone.

"Why not? Your mother can make a lot of money in the entertainment industry! She can buy a lot of sweets and toys for you."

"Director Peng." Fu Yunruo frowned, "This child is still young." Stop saying nonsense in front of him.

Money? The light bulb on Wenwen's little head lit up. Since his rebirth, he had been a normal kid, enjoying a carefree life. However, the appearance of Fang Xueruo and other 'enemies' from the Fang and Chang families suddenly made him feel a sense of crisis.

Compared with those people, his mother was too weak. He wanted to protect her and become her reliance, but he was still too young. These little arms and legs of his were powerless in front of adults, not to mention the great disparage of their capital power.

In this case, he could only grow up quickly, and the first thing he must do after growing up was to make a lot of money and accumulate wealth before going to confront his enemies.

At this point, however, he was still too young. With his small body and age, no one would be willing to hire him to do any job, so his only choice to make money was to be a child star.

He was not afraid of malice, nor did he care about the dirty words on the internet.

Wenwen lifted his hand and asked loudly, "Can I join the show?"

When Director Peng saw Wenwen's enthusiasm, he remembered this little guy's popularity on the internet and was attracted to the idea.

If the mother doesn't want to participate, the son can make do too!

Director Peng responded immediately, "You can! I'll pay you according to your mother's current fee!"

"Excuse me, but my son won't join the show either." Fu Yunruo frowned and refused. "I still have something to do and cannot entertain you any longer."

Director Peng was chased away by Fu Yunruo. He looked at Wenwen, but knew that this child had no right to speak as anything regarding a minor had to be approved by their guardian. In the end, Director Peng had no choice but to retreat for today, "Whether it's Miss Fu, Young Fu, or the two of you together, our show will welcome you with open hands. I hope you can consider our offer!"

"I'll come back tomorrow!"

After Director Peng left, the mother and son were left alone in the living room. Fu Yunruo stared at Wenwen, who was subconsciously standing up straight and drawing circles with his toe, and said sternly, "Fu Wenwen, shooting a show is not a child's play. It's a job done by adults. You haven't even gone to a kindergarten, so you cannot join adults in the show."

Wenwen retorted: "Children can be on the TV too. I know there are child stars!" Moreover, he was not a real child either.

"…Being a child star is very hard. You cannot eat much meat, you cannot play with your friends, and you cannot take a nap at noon… In short, you will be very tired every day."

"…" Wenwen's resolve faltered. He could endure hardship, but could not bear to let go of his favorite meat…

Wenwen hardened himself and said stubbornly, "It's okay. I want to make make a lot of money!" He needed to build his capital as soon as possible! In the future, he would compete with Fu and Chang and make them go bankrupt, leaving not even a single cent in their name.

Wenwen's ambition was very big. He failed to bring down the Fang Group in his previous life. This time, he prepared early and had more than ten years to accumulate money and contacts. He didn't believe that he couldn't bring them down this time!

"Is your family short of money to buy you food and toys? What does a little guy like you earn money for?"

Seeing how vehement his mother's objection was, Wenwen knew that it was because she didn't want him to be exposed to the public too early. But he wanted to protect her!

Wenwen finally used a child's last trump card. He threw himself to the floor and began to howl: "I want to join the show! I want to join the show! Whaaaa…!"

Fu Yunruo: "…"

"What's going on?"

When Si Yue returned home, he was greeted with a huge riot in the living room. Wenwen was having a tantrum, howling with all his might on the floor. His chubby hands and feet were flailing around frantically like a chubby upturned tortoise. The child's high voice seemed to have a magical negative effect and penetrated straight into Si Yue's eardrums.

Fu Yunruo held her aching forehead, wondering where her son had learned this tantrum skill. She really didn't know whether to laugh or to get angry.

Wenwen howled incessantly. From time to time, he couldn't help taking a quick glance at his mother and letting out two lines of crocodile tears from the corner of his eyes.

Why hadn't Mom agreed yet? Rolling on the floor was very tiring, ah!

Si Yue watched the chubby little guy rolling around the floor, howling and squeaking like a little pig. He then squatted on the side and began to poke at the boy's short legs with a mischievous grin, "Turn over, little fat pig!"

Wenwen: "…" Feeling offended, he suddenly became angry, "You are fat!"

"It's baby fat! It will be gone once I grow up!"

"Yeah, yeah." Si Yue nodded perfunctorily and kept poking at the bouncy chubby legs.

Wenwen hummed. His small nostrils flared. Having been interrupted by Si Yue, he could no longer continue his tantrum. Wenwen jumped up from the floor and ran to Fu Yunruo, purposefully stepping on Si Yue's foot as he passed by. Once he was at his mother's side, the boy hugged her thighs and complained, "Mom, Uncle Yue bullied me!"

Si Yue raised an eyebrow. The foot stepped by Wenwen was not hurt at all, no more than a mere tickle. However, the little guy recently seemed to be more and more naughty towards him.

Si Yue said with a flat tone: "Little snitcher."

Wenwen snorted, "Humph!"

Si Yue: "…" Really like a pig.

Fu Yunruo squatted down and began to pat Wenwen's clothes, which had turned dirty after he rolled on the floor.

Wenwen looked at his mother puzzledly. Why didn't this method work? He saw what his friends usually did when they pestered their parents to buy candies or toys: by throwing themselves on the ground and howling like a spoiled children.

Since one method failed. Wenwen changed tactic by acting coquettishly: "Mom, say yes, okay~" The cute tender voice seemed to be sprinkled with extra doses of sugar — so sweet that Fu Yunruo felt her heart melt.

However, she must be firm, "No."

"Mom~ baby loves you the most~."

Fu Yunruo enjoyed her son's cute pleading, but she still refused to budge an inch, "No way."

Si Yue looked at the mother and son in confusion. He had just been out for a while — what did he miss?

Si Yue finally asked, "Wenwen is asking for what?"

Fu Yunruo briefly explained how Director Peng came with an offer to join the show. She then said helplessly, "He overheard our conversation and suddenly wants to participate in the show."

"…" Si Yue stared at the little guy who was still hugging his mother's thighs. The child was looking expectantly at him, sending a message through his eyes: We are good friends, right? Please speak for me!

"Filming a show is not the same as playing."

Wenwen angrily retorted: "I'm not going to play. I want to make money!" Uncle Yue was too tactless. Not only did he refuse to do this small favor, he even slandered him as a child who only knew to play!

He, Fu Wen, was a man who wanted to make a lot of money! As a friend, Si Yue didn't even understand him. He no longer wants to be friends with him!

Wenwen stared at Si Yue condemningly.

Si Yue had no choice but to admit his mistake, "I misunderstood you."

Wenwen retracted his gaze with satisfaction, then looked up at Fu Yunruo again, "Mom, promise me, okay~?"

"Wenwen." Fu Yunruo patiently reasoned with the child, "If you participate in the show, many strangers you don't know will see you on the TV. Some people may not like you and say bad words against you. Mom will be very sad and heartbroken when such a thing happens."

"I'm not afraid…" Wenwen was about to cry, "Mom…"

He had spent a whole life receiving ridicule, abusive words, and scolding. The worst was just repeating the same experience he had in his previous life. He could bear it, but likewise, he couldn't bear seeing his mother being pointed to by people's malice.

Wenwen was determined to do well in the show and gained the audience's favor. Once people liked him, they would surely also like his mother.

This time, he would take good care of his reputation and prevent it from being tainted, so that others wouldn't have the opportunity to throw dirty water on him.

Si Yue picked up Wenwen, who was about to cry, and said to Fu Yunruo, "Wenwen is my… friend, so it won't be a problem to let him join the entertainment industry." He added solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect him."

Wenwen looked at his mother expectantly.

Fu Yunruo hesitated.

Si Yue assured: "With me, Wenwen can do whatever he likes. Whether it is to play in TV dramas, movies, or participating in variety shows… it's no problem. I won't let him be harmed in the slightest. You have my guarantee."

"Thank you, Uncle Yue!" Wenwen's eyes narrowed in joy. He hugged Si Yue's neck and rubbed his face on his shoulders. Si Yue was truly a loyal friend — he didn't misread him!

Fu Yunruo suddenly remembered Wenwen in the original book, who joined the entertainment industry early in his teens. Did her Wenwen also love acting? If so, would it be wrong for her to stop him?

"Wenwen, do you like acting?" Fu Yunruo's expression was a little complicated. The villain in the original book could become a top-ranking star without anyone's backer. This time, Wenwen had Si Yue protecting him, so his journey should be smooth sailing, right?

Even Fu Yunruo knew about Si Yue's status in the entertainment world. In the original book, he was the only star still remembered fondly as a legendary figure more than twenty years after he retired. With Si Yue's protection, Wenwen surely would have it easier.

And she could also do something for her son. The livestreaming and entertainment were two separate industries, but their circles had some intersections. If she worked hard, she surely could gain more connections to help Wenwen.

This child would never go to the same end as the plot dictated.

Wenwen was stunned for a moment by his mother's sudden question. He was hesitant to answer and suddenly fell into contemplation.

The Chi Wen in his previous life had never stopped to think about whether he liked acting or not, because in his mind, acting was just a way of making a living.

Did he like acting?

He remembered the long nights he spent thinking about a role, just to be the best.

He also remembered when he had just started as extras, where he had to lie on the ground for three or four hours under the scorching sun. Even if he was not guaranteed a single frame, he still worked hard to finish his role.

There were also the countless hours he used to hone his acting skills…

Wenwen's eyes were very bright at this moment, "I like acting!"

Wenwen's eyes were very bright at this moment, "I like acting!"

Yes, he liked acting — he liked playing different roles, performing different people, and he also enjoyed being in the spotlight and watched by many.

Fu Yunruo was swayed, "I'll think about it again…"

Should she agree? But Wenwen was still so young…

Si Yue put Wenwen down and patted his head, "Go play with your friends."

Wenwen looked up at Si Yue, then Fu Yunruo, "Mom, should I go?"

"Yes. Be careful."

After a moment's hesitation, Wenwen throttled away.

Once the little figure disappeared from sight, Si Yue turned to Fu Yunruo, "I understand your concerns, but you can rest assured. With me, Wenwen will never meet with unpleasant experiences."

Fu Yunruo said hesitantly, "Mr. Yue, I know you are good to Wenwen and have always tolerated Wenwen's willfulness, but we have already troubled you enough. We can't trouble you anymore."

"Not trouble. Really, neither you nor Wenwen has ever troubled me." Si Yue's lips curled up, "Wenwen is lively and charming. If he wants to join the entertainment industry, he can sign a contract with Apple Entertainment, who have the ability to protect their stars."

In order to increase his credibility, Si Yue continued: "I am one of Apple Entertainment's shareholders, and the company also has Yuan Xin and Chi Weicheng. You trust these two, don't you?"

One was a well-recognized number one agent who treated Wenwen fondly like his own nephew, and the other was an ace agent who had a close relationship with the mother and son and was also Teacher Guo's student. With them, Fu Yunruo's worry was indeed lessened.

With these connections, Wenwen would surely be treated favorably at Apple Entertainment. Moreover, Fu Yunruo also had a very good impression of Apple Entertainment for their support of Si Yue during the recent trouble with Fang Xueruo. At the very least, she was very assured about Apple Entertainment's willingness to protect their artists.

Oh, it turned out that Si Yue had shares in the company. Fu Yunruo was surprised for a moment, but after a second thought, it was actually very normal. As the company's number one star, there was nothing strange for Si Yue to own shares in his company. No wonder he didn't go solo to open his own studio.

In the beginning, Brother Chi also persuaded her to join Apple Entertainment. Although she didn't end up joining, she couldn't help but think that she was destined with this company.

"You can first sign a contract with Apple Entertainment. Of course, Wenwen will not be forced to work. He can choose his own job when he likes and does nothing when he doesn't want to. If he wants to quit the entertainment industry entirely, he can also quit at any time. Just…"

"You can choose between Yuan Xin or Chi Weicheng to be Wenwen's agent. I personally recommend Yuan Xin. Chi Weicheng still has three first and second line artists in his hands, but I am the only artist under Yuan Xin."

"I can guarantee that Wenwen's private life will never be disturbed. He will live a carefree life like an ordinary child…"

The last sentence touched on the point that Fu Yunruo was most concerned about. The reason why she hesitated was Wenwen's young age. She was worried that he would not be able to live a carefree and happy life like an ordinary child after becoming a child star and worried that he would be exposed to the complicated world of adults too early…

If Si Yue really could guarantee these things, then she would no longer refuse — Fu Yunruo thought. Maybe after filming this variety show, Wenwen would lose his interest? Therefore, she didn't need to be too entangled. With her and Brother Chi, they could at least protect the child…

Fu Yunruo thought for a good while and finally gave her approval with gritted teeth, "Okay."

Si Yue smiled, "Then I'll call the company to draw up the contract."

Now that she was no longer entangled, Fu Yunruo felt refreshed. "Okay, but I have a condition: for any job Wenwen does, I have to be there to look after him." No matter what, she had to be with the child personally to be at ease.

"Of course."

Si Yue called Yuan Xin and began to discuss the details of the contract in front of Fu Yunruo. Listening to the clauses that were heavily preferential for Wenwen, Fu Yunruo was stunned. On the one hand, she felt embarrassed, thinking that she was taking advantage of Si Yue. But on the other hand, she had to harden herself and cheekily accept this kindness for Wenwen's sake.

…

Wenwen played absent-mindedly, wondering if Uncle Yue could persuade his mother. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and ran home alone after refusing the invitation to play with his friends.

When Wenwen got home, he saw his mother and Uncle Yue chatting harmoniously, but the content of their conversation was not about him.

"…Really? It's been quite a while since I last returned to Beijing. It must have changed so much. To be honest, I don't remember much."

"After you return to Beijing, I will take you to see it. You won't be disappointed."

"Once your face is exposed, you will immediately be surrounded by people. Are you sure you can take me there?"

"Of course, my disguise skill is excellent. You can see it yourself later."

"I cannot wait to."

Wenwen tilted his head slightly. For some reason, he felt redundant here, as if he was breaking into someone's private moment.

"Mom!" Wenwen shouted. He rushed to his mother and threw himself into her arms like a small cannonball, declaring his strong sense of existence.

Fu Yunruo picked up the little guy and let him sit on his lap, "Why did you return so early?"

"I miss you!"

Fu Yunruo pinched the sweet boy's tender face, "You are so sweet today. Did you drink honey or sugar?"

"Hehe!" Wenwen said cutely, "Mom, I love you the most~."

Si Yue squinted his eyes slightly, watching the mother and son ignoring his existence and entering the world of two people. He glanced at the coquettish little guy and secretly thought: he shouldn't have spoken for this little ingrate — look at his way of demolishing the bridge after crossing the river!

Out of the corner of his eye, Wenwen glanced at Si Yue and smiled smugly. Look, Mom belonged to him, and she would never leave him in the cold!

After amusing Fu Yunruo for a while, Wenwen finally gathered his courage and carefully asked, "Mom, how is it? Can I join the show?"

Seeing the hope in the boy's eyes, Fu Yunruo no longer hesitated, "Well, I agree."

Wenwen's face lit up, and he quickly leaned over to give his mother a heart kiss, "Mom is the best! I love you the most!"

Fu Yunruo deliberately raised an eyebrow, "Don't you love me if I don't agree?"

"Love! I love you very, very, very much!" Wenwen responded, using his hand to express the size of his love.

Fu Yunruo was amused.

"Cough!" Unable to stand it anymore, Si Yue feigned a cough and looked meaningfully at Wenwen.

Shouldn't he also thank the great hero who successfully persuaded Fu Yunruo after spending a lot of effort?

Wenwen turned to Si Yue, blinked innocently, and asked concernedly, "Uncle Yue, have you caught a cold? Remember to take medicine! Otherwise, the cold will get worse, and you will get a scary shot."

Fu Yunruo couldn't hold back her laughter, "Pfft!"

"…" Looking at Wenwen's innocent and gullible face, Si Yue gritted his teeth secretly. Little brat!

Amidst the laughter, Yuan Xin arrived, sweating profusely. There was a briefcase in his hand, and his face flushed red with excitement. "Hello there, I will be Wenwen's agent and manager from now on. Little Wenwen, let's get along well!" Yuan Xin laughed heartily. Never had he thought that Si Yue would leave him with such a pleasant surprise before quitting the circle! For Si Yue to bring his son into the entertainment circle was good news for his agent Yuan Xin. They could continue to take advantage of Si Yue's current popularity through Wenwen!

This surnamed Si was sometimes more annoying than a dog, but he at least still informed his agent of major decisions. For example, Si Yue had already revealed the idea of retiring from the entertainment industry before he started filming the last movie. Yuan Xin could understand his decision. After all, this ancestor came to become an actor purely out of a hobby, and there was a huge wealth and industry waiting for him to take care of at home.

In recent years, Si Yue had done only a small number of jobs, mainly because he had started to take over his family's business. After two years of transition, Si Yue was now in charge of the entire industry, and he definitely wouldn't have enough time to take a role in the movies anymore.

As a top-rank agent, Yuan Xin had taken care of several stars. Although all of them had made great achievements, all of them either retired or left the entertainment industry for various reasons. Yuan Xin was tired and had decided Si Yue to be his last artist; once Si Yue quit, he was going to transition into the rear line and stay there until his time to retire.

But now, he could continue! Yuan Xin's eyes were burning when he looked at Wenwen. What a good, fascinating seedling! He must take good care of this boy!

He definitely would make Wenwen a top-notch child star and let the whole world look forward to his future!

Wenwen blinked in astonishment, unable to comprehend what he had just heard. Agent? Uncle Yuan? Yuan Xin? Did he mishear something?

What did the Mom discuss with Uncle Yue? Weren't they talking about him joining the show? Why did an agent suddenly come out?

When Fu Yunruo heard Yuan Xin's passionate introduction, she was at a loss. She didn't seem to have decided on the matter of Wenwen's agent…

Yuan Xin couldn't wait anymore. He took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and spread them in front of Fu Yunruo, "Miss Fu, please look at this contract and sign it if there is no problem."

Fu Yunruo picked up the contract and carefully read it word by word.

Yuan Xin was sitting on pins and needles, wishing Fu Yunruo to sign the contract immediately. But he knew that he shouldn't disturb her, so he forcefully calmed himself down.

Yuan Xin's gaze then turned to Wenwen, smiling amiably at the child's serious look. Wenwen seemed to be imitating his mother, looking at the contract seriously as if he could understand it.

Yuan Xin wiped his sweat and gave Si Yue a flattering look. Although Si Yue was stubborn, self-willed, very picky, a severe clean freak, and hard to serve… but he did a very good job this time!

Si Yue was willing to entrust his son to him, which showed how much trust Si Yue had in him! He, Yuan Xin, was very moved!

Facing Yuan Xin's fervent eyes, Si Yue felt his hair stand up. In a hurry to avoid looking at his crazed agent, his eyes stopped at the mother and son. The two similar faces, which seemed to be carved out of the same mould, also had the same expressions at this moment.

Fu Yunruo very carefully read every clause listed in the contract in detail. The content was basically the same as Si Yue discussed previously, with no obvious traps or loopholes. This contract was totally made for Wenwen's advantage.

No matter how she looked, Fu Yunruo felt that the company was taking a loss from this contract. Too embarrassed to take so much advantage, Fu Yunruo pointed to the profit distribution clause on the contract and asked, "This ratio…" Wasn't this too much?

Si Yue took a glance, "Do you think that 30%:70% is too little? I also think so. Better to change it to 10%:90%."

Yuan Xin also nodded in agreement. Anyway, Apple Entertainment was one of the subsidiaries of Si Yue's family business. Wenwen was Si Yue's son and might be the future heir of the Si family, so subsidiary companies like them had to treat him like an ancestor. Even if all the profit went to Wenwen, it was just proper.

Fu Yunruo: "…" She didn't hear it wrong. 10% for Apple Entertainment and 90% for Wenwen.

"No, no." Fu Yunruo waved her hands quickly, "30%:70% is okay!"

Fu Yunruo was afraid that these two men would really change the profit distribution to the extremely outrageous ratio of 10%:90%, so she hurriedly signed.

Yuan Xin quickly put the contract away: "Looking forward to our collaboration!"

"We are in your care."

Seeing Yuan Xin enthusiastically propose himself to be Wenwen's agent, Fu Yunruo had no opinion. It was good that she didn't have to bother Chi Weicheng.

"I will send the contract back to the company to get it stamped. In two days, I will bring it back to you."

Fu Yunruo was actually a little skeptical. Would Apple Entertainment be willing to accept such a one-sidedly generous contract? But thinking about Si Yue's status as the company's number one money maker, this doubt was instantly swept away.

Yuan Xin came quickly and went in a hurry. After knowing that Wenwen wanted to participate in 'Different Lives,' he went to see the show's production team with great vigor.

Hours passed, and soon it was time for dinner, so Fu Yunruo went to the kitchen to cook.

Wenwen was sitting on Si Yue's lap at this time. Even though he saw the contract with his own eyes and watched his mother sign it as his guardian, he still couldn't believe this was real and felt like he was dreaming.

Even in his previous life, when he was at the top of his career, he would not have been able to sign such an advantageous contract. And at this time, he was still a four-year-old child who hadn't made his debut…

The legendary agent Yuan Xin became his agent? And now he was an Apple Entertainment artist?

It's Apple Entertainment, ah!

Why did it feel so unreal? Wenwen looked at the big hand in front of him and spontaneously took a hard bite on the thumb. He then looked up and asked stupidly, "Uncle Yue, does it hurt?"

"…" Si Yue looked at the circle of teeth marks at the base of his thumb and the wet saliva on it.

Whose son is this stupid kid?

Yuan Xin's work was very efficient. It took him no time to sign the contract with the show on Wenwen's behalf, negotiating terms to make the boy a temporary guest by exception and that he would only join the shooting for three days.

This temporary guest was to receive the same treatment as a first-line star. In order to make Wenwen's first job go on smoothly, Yuan Xin demanded a clause in the contract stating that Wenwen must be teamed up with Si Yue. His reason was that young children would have a sense of security only when they were with familiar people, so this arrangement was necessary to ensure a smooth shooting.

The production team was literally on their wit's end, so they quickly accepted all of Yuan Xin's demands. No matter what, this show must go on, and Director Peng knew very well that his directing career would almost certainly die otherwise.

For this reason, right after signing the contract, the entire production team went on a full blast to produce the most dazzling script possible. Still, their new temporary guest was way too young to be demanded much, so in the end, they aimed to emphasize Wenwen's relationship with Si Yue. As long as the two could get along in the camera as they did before, the rating surely wouldn't do badly.

After signing the contract, the show published an official announcement on the internet, the first in a while. Of course, the narration they served to the public must be pleasant enough to not offend anyone. The general gist was that Fang Xueruo had to quit the show for a personal reason, so the production team invited another temporary guest in her stead.

The world was always more tolerant towards children, so this move could be said to be brilliant. Even if Fang Xueruo's fans were not friendly towards the child who took their idol's place, passersby would undoubtedly stand by the child's side, not to mention this was such a lovable and cute little guy.

In the announcement, the show also explained the reason for inviting Wenwen to join. The star they actually planned to invite couldn't open their schedule, and fortunately, Wenwen was already known to the public and had a group of 'mommy and daddy' fans of his own. In order to invite the boy to join their show, the production team persuaded Wenwen's mother and finally got her permission.

Following this announcement, Fu Yunruo also posted a message on her social media accounts, announcing that her son was going to join a variety show and asking her fans to give the child their support.

Fu Yunruo's fans, dubbed the Clouddust, were naturally ecstatic.

[Yunyun probably has no choice, lol.]

[I guess the production team bribed the cub with a lot of candies to tempt him over. Well done!]

[Aaaah! My cub is going to be on the TV! Mommy is so proud!]

[My cub, aaaaah!]

Countless fans quickly rushed to the show's own official announcement, simultaneously spreading the news far and wide.

…

Meanwhile, Wenwen was preoccupied with a new, more pressing problem. After it was confirmed that he was going to join the show, he had been busy thinking about the character he needed to set up to attract fans. It was not going to be easy, since he wanted a lot of 'good' popularity to let his mother shine.

What kind of children are popular nowadays? Naughty? Clever? Lovely? Silly?

Wenwen recalled the attitudes of adults towards different children and found that most adults generally like sensible and smart children, not unlike the one parents used to compare their children with. Thus, Wenwen clenched his small fists and made a big declaration — he was going to be a very sensible and very smart child!

Early the next morning, the sky was still only slightly bright when the extremely excited Wenwen woke his mother up.

Fu Yunruo looked at the time and sighed. My god, it is only five o'clock!

Wenwen jumped excitedly on the bed, "Mom, quickly get up!"

"…" Still lying on the bed, Fu Yunruo looked up at the little boy who was hopping non-stop and said helplessly, "Wenwen, the shooting doesn't start until 8:30. It's still too early!"

"Not early, Mom!" Wenwen countered solemnly, "I still have to do makeup for the camera, which takes a long time."

"What? Do you know what camera makeup is?" Fu Yunruo couldn't help laughing.

"Of course!" Wenwen proudly puffed up his belly, "I'm a grown-up now!"

"Why is Mommy's Baobao so cute, ah?" Unable to stand her son's cuteness, Fu Yunruo took the boy into her arms and gave him a mommy bear's hug.

After the early morning's display of affection, Fu Yunruo totally woke up, so she got off the bed. Wenwen also sat on the edge of the bed and put on his shoes by himself. His cheeks were flushed, as he still didn't recover after his mother's 'great display of love.'

Alas, he had grown so big, but Mom was still so childish. But what could he do? She was his mother, so he could only tolerate her!

The sounds made by the mother and son also woke up Si Yue and Auntie Mei, and the house became lively in an instant. While Fu Yunruo was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, Wenwen ran back to the bedroom and opened the wardrobe, looking for the clothes to wear today. The boy enthusiastically tried several sets, but found none of them were good-looking or fashionable enough. He needed a perfect attire that could show his handsomeness to the fullest!

Wenwen kept rummaging among the piles of clothes, leaving only his two short feet dangling outside the wardrobe. When he got his hand on a cool kid's military uniform from last summer, his eyes finally lit up. He had only worn this set a few times, so it was still mostly new. The last time he wore it, this military uniform was still very loose on his body, so it should be fit now!

Wenwen took out the outfit and quickly put it on. Fortunately, the size seemed to be right; it was not too long nor too short, just a bit tight. This past year, Wenwen didn't grow too much in height, but he had indeed grown up — albeit horizontally — causing the originally loose outfit to be a little tight on him.

When Wenwen lowered his eyes, he saw a very obvious round little belly. How could this be? Although he was just a young child now, he still had to maintain his figure as a star-to-be!

Wenwen took a deep breath and tried to flatten his belly, but it didn't seem to work, and he was still as round as before.

"Wenwen, time for breakfast!"

"Coming!" Wenwen ran out.

Fu Yunruo snorted in surprise when she saw Wenwen had changed. "Wenwen, why are you wearing that?" Last year's clothes were obviously out of place this year, considering Wenwen was still growing up. Fu Yunruo didn't expect the child to take out and wear last year's clothes.

Army green color matched a lighter skin tone very well. Wenwen's skin was fair and tender, making him look very cute in this kid's military uniform.

Wenwen replied: "It's cool!"

Fu Yunruo poured a bowl of meat porridge and brought it to the table to cool down.

"Wow, Wenwen, you look so handsome!" Auntie Mei praised heartily.

Wenwen responded sweetly: "Grandma also looks good in that floral dress!"

"Really?" Auntie Mei smiled and lovingly patted the floral-patterned top made from a comfortable and breathable fabric. "Your mother bought it for me."

Auntie Mei gave birth to only one son, and it was sure a nice surprise to enjoy the blessing of having a daughter in this life.

"Mom bought mine too~"

Si Yue came out of the kitchen and glanced at Wenwen, who was full of youthful vigor.

Fu Yunruo didn't expect Wenwen to like this outfit so much. The child never showed a special preference for the things he wore and usually preferred to wear diverse styles of clothing.

When Wenwen's nose picked up the fragrant aroma of meat porridge, he silently swallowed his saliva. After seeing his bulging little belly once again, he hardened his resolve and decided to skip breakfast, "Mom, I'm not hungry."

Fu Yunruo turned her head in surprise, "You don't want breakfast?!"

"Uh-huh!" Wenwen replied crisply.

Fu Yunruo turned her head in surprise, "You don't want breakfast?!"

"Uh-huh!" Wenwen replied crisply.

"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry, you know?" Fu Yunruo put Wenwen on his kiddie's high stool and began to stir the porridge in his bowl with a small spoon, sending the delicious aroma straight into the boy's olfactory sensors.

Wenwen hesitated. He looked down at his belly, whose roundness became even more eye-catching the moment he sat down. If he ate now, wouldn't he look even chubbier in front of the camera later…

Fu Yunruo noticed her son's small movements, and after a while, quickly figured out what this little boy was thinking. Young children nowadays become aware of their appearances faster than previous generations. It seemed that Wenwen thought he looked too plump for the TV camera, so he suddenly had an impulse to lose weight.

Fu Yunruo said softly, "Wenwen, this outfit doesn't fit. Shall we change to another one? Do you want to wear ill-fitting clothes to the show?"

Wenwen hesitated.

Fu Yunruo assured him, "No matter what Wenwen wears, he is the prettiest baby in the village!"

"Of course!" Wenwen proudly said. He then thought about it again and agreed with his mother. Indeed, wearing ill-fitting clothes would certainly damage his image as a handsome little guy. "Alright, I'll change again later."

After being comforted by his mother, Wenwen easily changed his mind and began to eat breakfast happily. Later, he went to change once again, and in the end, decided to wear a white tee, denim trousers, and a cute little straw hat. Now that the boy finally deemed himself ready, he was taken by Fu Yunruo, Si Yue, and Yuan Xin to the meeting place.

By the way, this arrangement was per Fu Yunruo's request, as she didn't want her home to appear on the camera.

When the group of four arrived at the meeting place, the crew had assembled and were getting ready, looking busy inside and out. A few makeshift shades were built under the old tree at the village entrance for the casts to rest and do their makeup. Yuan Xin had notified Director Peng, so upon seeing the group's coming, he hurriedly went to greet them, "Wenwen, you are here?"

"Wenwen is here?" A woman in a light-colored suit and natural makeup came out of one of the makeshift shades. Upon seeing Wenwen, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Wenwen, this is Auntie Xiaoyu. She will be your personal makeup artist from now on."

Wenwen looked up at the woman and called cutely, "Hello, Sister Xiaoyu."

Pu Xiaoyu was instantly elated, "What a cute little kid…" She already thought that Wenwen was very cute from the video, but she didn't expect the real one to be even cuter! Pu Xiaoyu then looked at the woman, who was very similar to the child. This woman was very beautiful and young — standing next to his son, people would mistake them for siblings. Pu Xiaoyu was a professional makeup artist and had seen many actresses who struggled to regain their former appearances after giving birth to kids, but she had never seen someone as good as Fu Yunruo, who was full of a youthful aura.

How envious, ah!

"Go, the shooting is about to start." Yuan Xin urged.

"Miss Yu, I will leave Wenwen in your care."

"Don't worry, Miss Fu. I will definitely transform Wenwen into his most dazzling self!"

"By the way, you can call me Sister Yu. No need to be so formal."

"I see, Sister Yu. Then you can also call me Yunruo."

"…" The two women quickly got acquainted with each other and took the child under the shade together.

Si Yue, who was totally neglected on the side: "…" I feel left out.

He confronted Yuan Xin, "Why did you bring her here? Didn't you initially say that it is enough to just use the show's makeup artist?"

Yuan Xin said boldly: "How can their makeup artists be as good as our team's? This is Wenwen's first job and also his first variety show. Naturally, he must be in his best state, and we must give him our best support possible."

Si Yue, who, upon coming to this show, didn't even have a single assistant by his side: "…"

He suddenly felt a bit sour. For just such a little boy, did everyone really 'betray' him?

"What? You, such a big grown-up, are actually jealous of a young child?" Because there were many ears here, Yuan Xin didn't straight up say 'your son,' but he still glared dissatisfiedly at Si Yue. What kind of fucked up mentality did this dog man have? How could a father be jealous of his own child?

Under the shade, Pu Xiaoyu had begun to put makeup on Wenwen. The boy's skin was both white and rosy, tender and slippery, and looked very healthy and cute. After Pu Xiaoyu enjoyed touching Wenwen's face for a while, she finally said, "No need for makeup. Just a light shade of powder is enough."

Fu Yunruo saw how Pu Xiaoyu applied a bit of face powder on Wenwen, then put on a light, natural color on his little lips.

"All right."

Fu Yunruo carefully looked at her son's face and saw no difference from his usual bare face. However, the child indeed looked more radiant and energetic than before.

Pu Xiaoyu then turned her attention to Fu Yunruo. Seeing that the latter's ruddy and fair skin was also bare with not even a layer of sunscreen, she suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Yunruo, don't you apply anything on your skin?"

"Ah?" Fu Yunruo touched her face, "No…" In this remote place, being too flashy would just attract weird eyes, so she was always without makeup.

"What a waste!" Pu Xiaoyu was heartbroken, "If I had a face like yours, I wouldn't have to do anything, and just carefully maintain it every day!"

The makeup artist pressed Fu Yunruo on a seat, then opened her makeup box and took out a set of skin care products. "How can you waste such a beautiful face? Precisely because you are blessed with a natural beauty that you have to put on effort into maintenance when you are still young. At your age now, you may not see the difference with others, but it will be very obvious once you get older and compare yourself with those of the same age with you but have carefully maintained themselves over the years."

"Y-yes, I think you are right." After listening to Pu Xiaoyu's lecture about the benefits of self-maintenance and the serious consequences of long-time neglect, Fu Yunruo couldn't help but feel a little scared. After all, which woman did not love beauty? Anyone who could make herself beautiful wouldn't be willing to grow old ugly.

Pu Xiaoyu examined Fu Yunruo's face with great care and became even more heartbroken as a result. If only Fu Yunruo had taken good care of herself, her skin would be in better condition!

Wenwen, who was listening from the said, also said with distress, "From now on, I will sure remind Mom to take care of herself more!"

"This set of skin care products is not the most suitable for your skin type. Let me recommend another set for you. Although this one is a little expensive, the effect is really good, and also suitable for your age group…"

Fu Yunruo added Pu Xiaoyu to her friend list and promised to take good care of her skin from now on.

Wenwen glanced at the price on the link sent by Pu Xiaoyu, and his eyes bulged as a result. So expensive! It seemed that he must make even more money!

Pu Xiaoyu helped Fu Yunruo with the skin care products before letting Si Yue in to apply light makeup on him.

At this time, the rest of the casts arrived one by one and came over to greet Wenwen and Fu Yunruo, expressing their goodwill. Among the cast, Wang Huaibei was the most awkward. After all, he was the first who said bad things about the mother and son, in contrast to Xin Xu who stood by their side from beginning to end.

Fu Yunruo accepted the greetings with a polite smile, and Wenwen also greeted his fellow casts politely. When the greetings finally subsided, Fu Yunruo felt her face was sore from smiling too much.

Before long, the shooting finally started. Fu Yunruo said several words to Wenwen in advance, telling him not to be nervous and to do everything naturally, just like when how he played every day. Then, Fu Yunruo handed Wenwen to Si Yue's care and walked outside the camera range, standing with the rest of the crew.

Wenwen looked at the multiple camera lenses, knowing that they were connected to the livestreaming platform, showing his every word and deed for the world to see. The long absence from the camera inadvertently made Wenwen a little nervous, but he soon calmed down. The boy kept reminding himself to be brave; after all, he had experienced the same process countless times before!

As usual, the permanent casts started with light banter to light up the atmosphere before finally calling out the new special guest.

Behind the camera, the director and his staff were watching the real-time data nervously. Unexpectedly, the moment the show began to broadcast, the number of viewers quickly reached its usual peak and kept climbing higher. Even though Fang Xueruo's fans clamored to never watch the show — let alone contribute to the traffic — following the official announcement yesterday, the current data showed no difference from the previous average, and there was even an upward trend, rivaled only by the explosive rise when Si Yue first joined the show.

The whole production team was beaming with joy. Their show was not going well this season. There were many problems in the middle, and the shooting was even suspended for a time. But who knew that those hurdles were actually a blessing in disguise? Their show was destined to be popular, and no one could stop it!

After hearing that Wenwen was joining the show, the villagers reawakened their enthusiasm and were eager to help, ready to watch their Wenwen's performance in front of the camera.

The production team didn't have heavy demands for Si Yue and Wenwen, so the tasks assigned to them were super simple: Wenwen was to go to this house to borrow rice, go to that and that house to borrow vegetables and other ingredients, and then Si Yue was to cook lunch for the two of them.

Even though the tasks were unexpectedly very simple, the audience still watched with relish, steadily raising the stats of the livestream channel.

Wenwen thought about the personality he had set for himself. As a smart and sensible child, what he must do is to be considerate to the adults and help them as much as possible. Along with the task card, the only thing given to them was a piece of Chinese cabbage, and Wenwen had to use this cabbage to do barter with various villagers: getting a carrot from Second Uncle's house in the west, an egg from Grandma Lin in the east, and a pork bone from the village's Uncle Butcher…

How to use this Chinese cabbage to exchange for so many items? This must be a call for his ingenuity!

Wenwen then began to develop a plan. First, he would barter the Chinese cabbage for four eggs, the barter one egg for two carrots, and finally, barter two eggs and one carrot for one pork bone…

Wenwen explained his idea to Si Yue and received the older man's praise. What a clever boy!

Wenwen tried his best to keep his lips from smiling. Um, he must be steady and not look proud. It was enough to praise himself for being so witty in his heart.

Si Yue was carrying the basket. Wenwen wanted to be considerate and offered to help, but his small body was unable to carry the basket alone. In the end, he could only help lessen the weight by supporting the bottom of the basket with his small hands.

Wenwen couldn't be more familiar with Shanghe Village and took Si Yue directly to Grandma Lin's house. At their destination, Wenwen knocked on the door and called with his cute voice, "Grandma Lin, can I barter this Chinese cabbage for three eggs?"

Grandma Lin replied warmly, "Of course! Wenwen, wait for a second!"

Grandma Lin walked back to the house and came out with a basket soon afterward.

Wenwen picked up the Chinese cabbage from the basket in Si Yue's hand. The cabbage was very heavy. Wenwen tried his best to carry it to Grandma Lin.

Grandma Lin took the Chinese cabbage from Wenwen's trembling hands and put it aside, then lifted the cloth on the basket on her elbow, revealing many tasty-looking eggs.

Wenwen picked up his basket, raised his head, and looked at Grandma Lin expectantly. The old woman quickly moved the eggs from her basket to the other, putting one, two, three, four… twelve eggs in total.

"My family raises only purebred chickens organically. Take these eggs back and ask your mother to cook them for you. They are very tasty and nutritious!"

Wenwen quickly refused, "It's too many, Grandma Lin. I only need three!"

"How can three be enough for a glutton like you? Take more; Grandma has plenty." Grandma Lin was about to put more eggs into Wenwen's basket.

Wenwen had already put the basket on the ground, then grabbed one extra egg in each hand and began to put it back with a serious face: "Grandma Lin, I'm shooting the show now. I've counted, and three are already enough."

"Oh!" Grandma Lin remembered, then nodded quickly, "I see. I have to cooperate with you, right? Okay, only three." Grandma Lin blinked.

Wenwen nodded.

Grandma Lin then asked in a low voice, "Why did Wenwen join the show? Do you want to be a big star?"

"I'm not even a star yet…" Wenwen puffed his cheeks and replied in a low voice, "I want to make money to buy cosmetics and skin care for Mom."

After being reminded by Sister Xiaoyu, Wenwen had thought seriously about this problem. Let's put the matter about saving capital for later — for now, it was more urgent to buy skin care products for his mother.

"She never dresses up or takes care of her beauty." Wenwen was exasperated by his mother's carelessness, especially because he remembered that more than twenty years later, the aged Fang Xueruo still looked as young as thirty. No matter what, Mom couldn't lose to that woman!

Naturally, this goal was easy to accomplish with the right effort. Even without makeup or expensive skin care, Mom was already the most beautiful woman. Once she began to mind her beauty, even a hundred Fang Xueruo wouldn't be a match for her!

Both Wenwen and Grandma Lin thought they were whispering, but the microphone clearly took every bit of their conversation and broadcasted it to the livestream channel. When the audience heard Wenwen's cute voice, they became even more excited.

[My cub, ah! Why are you so cute!]

[This is my family's youngest child. Woohoo, Mom is so proud!]

[Help! I'm being drowned by the cuteness!]

[I also want to have a son who buys me skin care products!]

[Please send me a dozen of such sons. Thank you.]

[I want to give birth to such a baby!]

…

When Wenwen's basket only had three eggs left, the first task was completed. The boy wiped his sweat, admiring his hard work. He then lifted the basket and showed it to Si Yue, "I'm done!"

Si Yue gave the boy a thumbs up, "Wenwen is awesome!"

Wenwen almost laughed out in pride, but upon remembering his set-up 'prudent' personality, he quickly covered his mouth with both hands, revealing only a pair of big eyes curved into two crescent slits.

The next step was to barter the carrots. Wenwen also knew where the village's Second Uncle's house was and took Si Yue there via the shortest path. He was determined to explain his intention to the Second Uncle clearly from right on, especially emphasizing that he only needed three carrots. Although there was a bit of a harmless mishap in the process just now, he wouldn't allow it to happen again!

The village's Second Uncle was sitting in his yard, smoking a cigarette when Wenwen came. Seeing the little guy, he put out the cigarette and smiled. "You want carrots? Of course. The vegetable garden is there. Take as many you like."

"Thank you, Second Uncle!"

Wenwen gave an egg to the Second Uncle and went into the vegetable garden with Si Yue. The carrots and other vegetables in Second Uncle's house were used in cooking every day, so the field looked a bit sparse here and there.

Si Yue was about to pull out the carrots when Wenwen quickly said: "Uncle Yue, let me pull it out!"

Wenwen was determined to show his best side in front of the camera. Seeing him being so sensible and considerate, the audience would surely like him more, right?

Si Yue raised his eyebrow, but he said nothing and nodded to the eager little guy, "Okay."

Wenwen carefully took a look at the whole field and found three obviously larger carrots. He stood in front of one of the carrots, grabbed its leaves with both hands, and pulled hard, smoothly taking out a fresh orange-red carrot.

Wenwen smiled happily. He turned to Si Yue, asking for another praise before hurriedly going to pull the second carrot.

Pull! Pull pull pull!

Eh? Why didn't it move? Wenwen exerted his full strength and tried to pull out the carrot for a while. His chubby flesh flushed red in hard work.

Suddenly, Wenwen fell to the ground. His buttock hit the ground hard, and his feet dangled upside down, but in his hands was the carrot that he finally pulled out after a great effort.

"Pfft!"

Wenwen's eyes went blank, and it took him a lot of time to process what had just happened. Until Si Yue helped him up, the boy didn't even realize that he had fallen to the ground.

Wenwen's chubby face immediately blushed — too embarrassing!

Wenwen turned around to look for Fu Yunruo. Upon seeing the familiar figure smiling at him not far away, he immediately became relieved. He then looked up at Si Yue, feeling somewhat doubtful; he seemed to have heard a burst of laughter just now, but did he hear it wrong?

Si Yue lightly patted the dirt off Wenwen's body, as if he was not the one who laughed just now. He then asked, "Did it hurt?"

Wenwen shook his head and replied with all seriousness, "This is just an accident. I don't often fall like this." This was just a small mistake, and his image was still a mature and dependable child!

"Yeah, I know." Si Yue nodded earnestly.

Wenwen sighed in relief. If Uncle Yue believed him, the audience would surely believe him too. It seemed that he had managed to save his image!

"Which carrot do you want to pull? Let's do it together."

Wenwen pointed to the one large carrot. Afraid to repeat the same failure, he relieved the duty of pulling the carrot to Si Yue.

At this time, the Second Uncle came with a cigarette in his hand. Seeing that the two took only three carrots, he casually said, "Why so few? Take more. No one will eat the carrots if they stay in the ground anyway, and they will start to rot if left for too long."

Saying this, the Second Uncle walked to the vegetable field, ready to pull some more carrots for them.

Wenwen's eyes immediately widened, "Uncle Yue!"

Si Yue promptly placed the three carrots into the basket, picked up Wenwen, and quickly strode away with his long legs. "Thank you for your assistance, Sir. We are taking our leave now."

Hugged into Si Yue's arms, Wenwen raised his head and waved to the Second Uncle, "See you later, Second Uncle. I will come to play later!"

After leaving the Second Uncle's house, the duo headed to the village's only butcher shop. Sitting on Si Yue's shoulders, Wenwen solemnly declared, "The two previous small blunders were just accidents. This time, I won't repeat the same mistake again!"

"Well, I believe you." Si Yue held back his smile.

After a while, Wenwen said, "Uncle Yue, let me down." In fact, he was pretty tired. Having walked a long way since morning, his feet were slightly sore now. However, to protect his image as a mature and dependable child, Wenwen couldn't let himself be the adults' burden, so he insisted on walking on his own.

Si Yue put Wenwen down.

Not long after, several children came out from a side road. Seeing so many people around Wenwen, they all shrank back timidly, yet one of them mustered his courage and shouted loudly, "Wenwen, come here! Great Grandma is making cold rice cakes!"

The villagers worried that the little ones would disturb the show's shooting and repeatedly warned their children not to approach Wenwen for three days. In order to make these brats behave, the village specially asked the help of their oldest living inhabitant — the 90-year-old woman known as everyone's Great Grandma — to make her legendary cold rice cake for the children.

The children were overjoyed, but how could they eat alone and forget their best friend? Thinking like this, some of the children, who were kept in the Great Grandma's house for 'surveillance,' slipped out from the adults' watch and ran to find Wenwen.

Great Grandma's cold rice cake? Wenwen's ears instantly perked up. The Great Grandma worked as a cook in a wealthy family when she was young, and she was very good at making cakes. The Great Grandma was still very healthy now, but she had caught on age and rarely ever made cakes again. The only exception was her occasional cold rice cakes, which were the easiest to make.

Wenwen was fortunate enough to eat two pieces last year, and he remembered the taste even to this day. That was the tastiest cake he had ever tasted in his two lives!

Great Grandma is making cold rice cakes! This news instantly wiped everything from Wenwen's mind. The boy gulped, his eyes sparkled, and he ran happily to his friends.

Si Yue, who was suddenly forgotten: "…?" …this brat seemed to forget that they were in the middle of shooting now.

The assistant cameraman was holding his giggle so hard that he almost snorted, while the audience watching the livestream was already collapsing in laughter.

Look at how pitiful Si Yue is! He was 'abandoned,' hahaha!

What a funny little guy!

When the cameraman finally caught up, Wenwen had already met up with his friends. The group of little dumplings squatted outside the Great Grandma's kitchen, waiting impatiently. Like other children, Wenwen's mind was filled with cold cakes, and he gulped from time to time. The last and only time Wenwen ever tasted Great Grandma's cold cake, he unknowingly ate all two pieces of his own, forgetting to take one back for his mother at home. When he returned to his senses, no cakes still remained!

Overfilled with regret, Wenwen remembered this incident for a long time. This time, he promised himself to not eat all the cakes alone. He would definitely take them back to share with his mother!

The crew didn't approach, nor did Si Yue. While watching over the children from afar, the movie emperor chatted lightly to the audience via the camera.

A hunched old woman came out of the kitchen not long after, smiling kindly at the children. "Great Grandma has made a lot this time. Each person can get three pieces." She made a lot of cakes this time, so the kids could eat more. Since her daughter-in-law helped in the kitchen, it was rare for her to cook anything personally.

"Thank you, Great Grandma!" The children jumped in joy and began to plan how to eat their share.

Wenwen was no exception. He pondered hard — since he had three pieces, he and Mom could share one, and each got half at a time so they could eat the cake three times. Three times the cake, three times the happiness. How clever!

The children stood in the row and waited for the Great Grandma to distribute the cold cakes. Wenwen was favored, so he got three large pieces. So happy that his eyes turned into slits, the boy ran to his mother, "Mom, Mom, look!"

"Great Grandma's cold rice cakes!"

Fu Yunruo smiled, "Have you thanked Great Grandma?"

Fu Yunruo smiled, "Have you thanked Great Grandma?"

"Yeah!" Despite drooling over the cake himself, Wenwen took one piece and shoved it into Fu Yunruo's mouth, "Mom eat first. It's very tasty!"

Fu Yunruo didn't want to reject her son's good intentions, so she took a small bite, "It's tasty!"

Wenwen smiled happily: "Mom eats half; I will eat the other half!"

So Fu Yunruo took another two bites, "Okay, Mommy has eaten my half."

Wenwen saw the still large piece of cake in his hand and knew that his mother was just perfunctory, so he urged again, "It's still not half, Mom!"

"Okay, okay…"

It wasn't until Wenwen saw that his mother had truly eaten half the cake that he finally took a bite of the remaining half.

It's the taste he remembered! Too delicious!

After finishing the half piece in his hand, Wenwen was still not satisfied.

"Are you still eating?" Fu Yunruo asked.

"No, save the rest for later," Wenwen said reluctantly. Good things should be enjoyed slowly, and three happiness was more than one!

"Alright, now. Mom will keep these for you. Go back and continue the shooting."

Co-continue the shooting?!

Struck hard by realization, Wenwen's body suddenly froze in place.

He totally forgot about the camera, about the audience!

Wenwen turned his head around in panic and immediately saw Si Yue, standing with arms crossed under the shade of a nearby tree. The older man was leaning leisurely on the tree trunk, gazing at Wenwen with an expression that seemed to say: when will this kid finally remember?

Noticing Wenwen's gaze, Si Yue walked to the boy.

When Fu Yunruo saw this, she stepped back and let the two continue the shooting.

At this moment, Wenwen was squatting down, staring dejectedly at the bare land below his feet.

"What's wrong?" Si Yue crouched down next to the sad boy and asked.

There were tears in Wenwen's eyes, "I want to be a smart and sensible child…"

But he failed miserably!

Wenwen couldn't help recalling every mistake he had made since starting the shooting this morning. He became more despaired as a result. How could he forget about the image he had carefully crafted for himself? Now it was too late — let alone attracting fans; the audience must have now thought of him as a glutton and lazy kid who only knew to play!

Si Yue patted the boy's head and comforted him, "Wenwen is already very smart and sensible." At Wenwen's age, children were naturally full of energy, and it was normal for them to be active and ignorant. Wenwen's occasional short-term attentions were just him being a kid.

"Uncle Yue, you don't have to comfort me. Don't worry; I'm a strong boy." Wenwen held back his tears, thinking Si Yue was comforting him out of pity. He tried to cheer up — don't worry, it was only the first day, and he still had another two days to save his crumbling image!

[Hahahaha! This show should change the title to 'The Movie Emperor's Childcare Diary']

[Si Yue will definitely become a good father!]

[Hahahahaha!]

[Wenwen's cuteness should be illegal! It's too lethal!]

…

While watching over her son, Fu Yunruo also visited the livestream channel to check the audience's reaction to Wenwen. Looking at the comments so far, they were all either fancy compliments or otherwise normal comments, nothing negative. Seeing that the situation was better than her initial expectation, Fu Yunruo sighed in relief.

Fu Yunruo remembered the content of the contract she had signed with the show. When Yuan Xin negotiated the contract, he made a few demands on Wenwen's behalf, one of which was to prevent negative comments from appearing on either the livestream channel or the show's official media accounts. It was a reasonable demand. Wenwen was still a child, and he was far too young to face society's malice.

Most of the show's audience and general netizen was of course rational, but Fu Yunruo was wary about Fang Xueruo's brainless fans. Thankfully, Yuan Xin was not without preparation. The comments on the livestream broadcast were under watch by professional moderators, while Apple Entertainment's own PR department took preemptive action to purge hired accounts from the show's social media. Whether for this reason or not, Fu Yunruo didn't know, but she was very content seeing that no one was badmouthing her child.

Having been relieved of one burden, Fu Yunruo finally had the time to watch her son's actions through the camera. Even as the boy's own mother, she had to admit that this child was born with a natural sense of camera. No matter from which angle the lenses captured his figure, Wenwen always looked very cute and pleasing to the eye.

Seeing her son having a good time, Fu Yunruo couldn't help but smile. She hadn't seen how others shot the show before, but it shouldn't be this relaxed, right? Wenwen was basically just playing.

It seemed that the director was quite nice and understanding. Because of Fang Xueruo's matter, she had misunderstood him and came to dislike this show and its crew.

Suddenly, her mobile phone vibrated. Fu Yunruo took a look and saw that Tiantian was calling.

After glancing slightly at Wenwen, Fu Yunruo walked to a distance and answered the call, "Tiantian?"

"Ruoruo, I've found a female bodyguard!"

Fu Yunruo's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great!"

"I've only managed to find one, but don't worry, she is really strong and capable. You will know when you meet her yourself. I promise that she will never let you down!"

"I'm on my way to your place. See you tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, Tiantian. Thank you."

Finished with the call, Fu Yunruo glanced at Si Yue and fell into contemplation. Now that the bodyguard she was about to hire was on the way, Wenwen surely would no longer object to letting Si Yue quit.

However, how should she bring up this matter? She felt like a scum who discarded Si Yue away after using him…

But the bodyguard will be here tomorrow…

No matter what she chose, the result would be the same, so Fu Yunruo decided to be honest and strike up a conversation with Si Yue tonight.

…

Today's shooting went smoothly. Although there were constant minor mishaps in the middle, the overall result was still satisfying.

At five pm, the shooting ended.

"Mom, how was I?" Wenwen ran to his mother, smiling widely.

"Wenwen is awesome, very amazing!" Fu Yunruo took out her whole supply of rainbow farts.

Hearing his mother's lavish compliments, Wenwen's eyes beamed in pride. He hugged Fu Yunruo's thighs and said coquettishly, "Mom, hug me…" Today he was very tired. Although his mother was always within his sight, they were separated by distance, making him feel like they had been separated for so long.

Fu Yunruo felt sorry for her son and quickly took him into her arms. Although it looked like he was playing all day, shooting a show was still very tiring.

Si Yue was still talking to the director, so Fu Yunruo and Wenwen headed home first.

Wenwen was extremely excited. The boy chatted nonstop on their way home, as if he had endless things to tell. Fu Yunruo listened with a smile, feeling her heart warmed by his cheerfulness as she enjoyed her son's nonstop babbling in his cute tender voice.

Back home, Wenwen followed Fu Yunruo like a little tail. Fu Yunruo gave him a drink and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

"Are you hungry? Have a piece of cake first."

Since they were in the village, Fu Yunruo was not afraid of leaving Wenwen's side for a while, so she took a chance to sneak out during the afternoon shooting and returned home to put the two remaining cold cakes on a plate cooled with a bowl of cold water. Fu Yunruo then returned the bowl Wenwen previously borrowed to the Great Grandma, who in return stuffed her with a pile of cakes wrapped in oiled paper.

Great Grandma's cakes were unrivaled, but she was very old after all, so no one in the village would pester her to make cakes just because she was good at it. The children were also sensible; only when Great Grandma announced that she was going to make cakes would they swarm over to her house to ask for a share.

However, the grown-ups didn't have the same good fortune. No matter how many cakes Great Grandma made, the children could devour all with their seemingly bottomless tummies, so Fu Yunruo was surprised to find that the Great Grandma had left her a share. Fu Yunruo initially wanted to refuse politely, but thinking that Wenwen liked this cold cake so much, she finally accepted it with blushing cheeks.

Fu Yunruo hadn't told Wenwen about these 'bonus cakes,' so when Wenwen saw Fu Yunruo take out a plate with two cakes on it, he still cherished them so much.

"T-then, let's eat a piece now." The last piece shall be eaten before going to bed, guaranteeing a sweet dream at night!

Wenwen took one piece of cake and broke it into two halves. After comparing them with his eyes, he gave the bigger half to Fu Yunruo, "For Mom!"

This cold cake had a short shelf life, and Fu Yunruo also knew that there were still more in the refrigerator, so she didn't reject her son's kindness.

"Eat the other piece too."

Wenwen was reluctant, but he was hungry. It seemed that eating the cake only made him even hungrier!

Fu Yunruo added casually, "Don't forget to leave some for your Uncle Yue!" Si Yue was so kind to Wenwen, so it was just a given to share the rewards with him.

Wenwen thought that Fu Yunruo was talking about sharing the last piece in his hand and was very reluctant as a result. This was the last piece, and he still hadn't eaten enough, ah!

Wenwen rolled his eyes secretly and began to plot — should he eat it before Uncle Yue returned and then pretend to be ignorant?

But Uncle Yue was so kind. How could he be so stingy?

Wenwen thought for a while, and finally broke the last piece of cake into quarters. Yet, he still looked hesitant, and after a quick thought, broke one of the quarters again into smaller pieces. The cold cake on the plate was now divided into several pieces of different sizes. Wenwen moved the smallest piece aside and decided the rest to be his and his mother's.

"This piece is for Uncle Yue." Wenwen pointed to the small piece on the edge and said loudly.

Fu Yunruo was taking out plates and didn't pay attention to her son's small movements. Hearing what the boy said, she just said, "Okay," without looking back.

Si Yue, who had just entered the room, stopped in confusion. His gaze then fell to the crumbly piece of cake that Wenwen's chubby finger pointed at.

Si Yue: "…"

Seeing Si Yue, Wenwen quickly retracted his hand and called cutely, "Uncle Yue, you're back!"

Fu Yunruo put the plates into the sink and returned to the living room. She saw the plate in front of Wenwen, which was now filled with small pieces of cake. Thinking about what the boy had just said, she couldn't help reprimanding, "Wenwen, why did you crush the cake so much? You cannot give those to others."

Fu Yunruo went to the refrigerator and took out the oil-papered package, "Great Grandma secretly set aside a bunch for us. Let's leave a few pieces for you to eat tomorrow, and the rest are for tonight."

It was now midsummer, and food couldn't be kept for a long time before going bad.

Wenwen saw the large package, enough to satisfy his desire for cold cakes. His eyes lit up instantly. He jumped off the stool and quickly ran over, "Wow!"

The cakes had been kept on the upper side of the refrigerator, where the temperature was the coolest, so they were still very fresh. Wenwen put them on the table and began to count. There were sixteen pieces in total, so many!

Wenwen moved his plate aside, then pointed to the pile of cakes on top of the oiled paper and said generously, "Uncle Yue, you should eat too. Great Grandma's cake is the tastiest!"

Si Yue: "…" Oh, don't think he didn't know. His weight in Wenwen's heart was actually smaller than a single fingernail. He had seen it through!

Si Yue picked up a piece.

Wenwen watched him with sparkling eyes, "Tasty, right? Isn't it tasty?"

Surprise flashed in Si Yue's eyes. Born in a wealthy family, he had tasted countless delicacies throughout his life, yet he never thought that such a delicious pastry could be eaten in such a remote place.

It seemed that this mountainous area was quite something.

Si Yue nodded, "Not bad."

Wenwen raised his head proudly, as if he was the one being praised.

The boy then continued finishing the small pieces of cake on his plate.

Today's mealtime was lively. Not long after dinner, Wenwen began to doze off, so Fu Yunruo carried him back to their room to sleep. Once he was on the bed, Wenwen suddenly lost his sleepiness and began to roll around on the bed. Fu Yunruo took the restless boy into her arms and showed him her phone screen, "Come here, Baobao. Mom will read to you how the big brothers, big sisters, uncles, and aunts on the internet praise you today."

Wenwen stopped rolling around and buried himself in Fu Yunruo's arms like a little ostrich. After a while, he quietly revealed a pair of eyes and asked cautiously, "Really praises?"

Not scolding? In fact, it didn't matter even if he was scolded on the internet. He didn't care at all! He knew that he didn't behave well today. The character's setting he had painstakingly built up crumbled totally, and he was so clumsy in front of the camera. So… he could accept the consequences…

Seeing her son's timid reaction, Fu Yunruo felt a little distressed. It seemed that Wenwen cared about what others thought of him. "Of course. Mom has taken a lot of screenshots, all of which are praising Baobao. Mom will read them all to you, okay?"

Wenwen twisted his body for a while, then moved slightly and leaned his head on Fu Yunruo's shoulder, plucking up the courage to look into the screen.

Wenwen twisted his body for a while, then moved slightly and leaned his head on Fu Yunruo's shoulder, plucking up the courage to look at the screen.

"Mom took a lot of screenshots at random, so the results are not very good. After the livestream is uploaded on the internet, let's watch it together!"

Then Fu Yunruo began to point to the comments one by one and read them aloud, "This person said, 'The cub is really smart, innocent, cute, and lively…'"

"'Cub' means Baobao!"

"And these ones… many, many people want a kid like Mom's Baobao!"

Fu Yunruo read a lot of comments. "Baobao hasn't started school yet, so you don't know many words now. After you start going to school and learn to read, you will know how much love these people show to you."

Wenwen's eyes were fixed on the phone screen, unable to tell his mother that he actually could read every word on the screen. Some of the comments layered upon each other, making them somewhat hard to read, but Wenwen could see that all of them were praises, and even the comments about Si Yue were not as many as his.

The straightforward affection seemed to break out of the screen and directly warm his heart.

It feels good…

Wenwen's eyes were wet, and tears almost fell from the corners of his eyes, but he was careful not to let Fu Yunruo see it. After a while, he said coquettishly, "Mom, read to me again!"

"Okay, okay…"

Fu Yunruo kept reading through the comment when she suddenly felt heaviness on her shoulder. She lowered her eyes and saw that Wenwen had already slept on her shoulder. The boy's face was flushed, his hand was clutching his mother's clothes, and the corners of his lips curled up into a smile, as if having a sweet dream.

Fu Yunruo kissed his forehead. Good night, Baobao.

After confirming that Wenwen was sleeping deeply, Fu Yunruo carefully got out of bed and walked out of the room. It was not even 10 pm yet, and Si Yue was still awake. When Fu Yunruo came out of the door, she found Si Yue in the yard, typing on his mobile phone.

Seeing Fu Yunruo, he put away his phone and lowered his voice, "Is he asleep?"

Fu Yunruo nodded. She moved a chair and sat not far from Si Yue. Her mind was busy composing words, trying to break out the topic as politely as possible.

Si Yue saw her tangled look and asked first, "What's the matter?"

Fu Yunruo said hesitantly: "Actually, my friend Tiantian has found a female bodyguard for me. They will be here tomorrow…"

Si Yue nodded understandingly, "Then I'll move out tomorrow. But I first have to see whether this bodyguard is suitable or not."

Seeing Si Yue's nonchalant attitude, Fu Yunruo sighed in relief. "I see. Thank you for your help."

"It's nothing."

After a short chit-chat, Fu Yunruo stood up. "Then I will return first."

Si Yue responded, "Good night."

"Good night, too. Have a good rest."

Having put down one of her worries, Fu Yunruo went to bed with no burden and had a good night's sleep.

…

On the second day, Wenwen seemed to have gained experience and was more relaxed than yesterday.

The production team looked at the high number of viewers and laughed in joy. They finally got it right!

At three in the afternoon, Tiantian and the female bodyguard finally arrived. Fu Yunruo asked Yuan Xin to watch over Wenwen and returned to receive the guests at home.

When Fu Yunruo saw the petite baby-faced girl with short hair next to Tiantian, countless question marks appeared in her mind.

This is… the female bodyguard?!

If this person went out and claimed to be a minor who had just entered high school, many people would believe it!

Tiantian saw Fu Yunruo's doubt and quickly said: "Don't be fooled by Shengnan's appearance, but she is actually two years older than you! Besides, she is amazing!"

Qian Shengnan patted her flat chest and said cheerfully, "Boss is right to have concerns. Precisely because of my face that many employers don't believe my ability, but please give me a chance to show it off." Finished speaking, Qian Shengnan took a look around the yard, picked up a stone by the flowerbed nearby, and tossed it up. She then quickly took a wide jump backward, followed by a three-step run forward. The next second, the petite figure jumped into the air. Her body spun as she raised her leg and accurately kicked the stone falling mid-air.

The hard stone broke into several pieces and scattered to the ground.

"!" Fu Yunruo was struck dumbfounded, and her first thought was: there is such a martial art master in this world!

Qian Shengnan jumped to the eaves, picked up a thick stick, and was about to continue her demonstration.

Fu Yunruo hurriedly stopped, "No need, it's enough, enough!" Her lips twitched as she subconsciously glanced at the baby-faced bodyguard's feet, thinking: how could her foot be alright after kicking such a hard stone?

At this moment, Fu Yunruo was full of admiration.

"Boss, do you believe my ability now?" Qian Shengnan asked happily.

"Don't call me boss…" Fu Yunruo waved her hand.

Qian Shengnan suddenly became dejected.

"Just call me Ruoruo or Yunruo."

Qian Shengnan's eyes lit up again, "Are you hiring me?"

Fu Yunruo nodded with a smile, "From today onward, I am in your care!"

"I will work hard!" Qian Shengnan was very happy. Because of her face, people always doubted her ability, making it hard for her to secure a job. Unexpectedly, the interview went successfully this time!

The three then moved to the living room, where Fu Yunruo explained to Qian Shengnan the salary and benefits she offered. No matter what Fu Yunruo said, Qian Shengnan just nodded with bright eyes. This innocent and cute appearance made Fu Yunruo temporarily forget about the strength the girl displayed just now, and she even began to worry: wouldn't this innocent girl be squeezed dry if she encountered an unscrupulous client?

"You can follow me under the name of my assistant. Don't worry; the studio will issue you a separate assistant salary." In this remote countryside, employing a bodyguard would only attract strange gazes and unwanted attention, so it was more convenient to tell others that Qian Shengnan was the assistant provided to Fu Yunruo by her studio.

When Qian Shengnan heard it, she was stunned in disbelief. Did it mean that she would receive double wages? Qian Shengnan shook her head repeatedly, "The salary and benefits just now are already very good…"

Her salary as Fu Yunruo's bodyguard was also paid by the studio, which was already competitive compared to other jobs she had done in the past. Coupled with insurance and other benefits, this was already very good!

Fu Yunruo said, "It's natural to earn two wages if you do two jobs. It just happens that I also need an assistant. With you here, I don't need to find one anymore." Fu Yunruo suddenly remembered something important and asked worriedly: "By the way, have you tried growing plants or flowers?"

In the past, she thought that such a 'mythical' plant-killing physique was only one in ten thousand. But now that she had encountered two, she couldn't feel at ease. What if there was another one here?

Qian Shengnan tilted his head. Although she didn't understand what her new boss was worried about, she answered honestly. "I used to grow vegetables and they grew very well. When I was a child, I also participated in Arbor Day at school and planted trees with my friends. The trees I planted grew well, and they were very lush."

Fu Yunruo sighed in relief. This girl could grow vegetables and trees, so she shouldn't be a plant killer!
