Chapter 7: Pretending to Be Innocent in Front of Children

Page 1/3

Duan Lele felt deeply embarrassed and angry inside, but her expression was one of grievance and helplessness. “Little sister, Zhisheng and I aren’t strangers,” she said. “We’re working on a show together. I just put my hand on his shoulder briefly. Why would you say that about me?”

Yu Danxue suddenly looked enlightened, lightly tapping her chin. “I get it now!”

Then she ran over, pulling a male staff member in front of Duan Lele. “Sister, you should put your hand on his shoulder too. You’re all on the show together; you’re not strangers. It won’t hurt to just touch his shoulder once.” She looked at Duan Lele with an innocent and obedient expression. “Aren’t you going to? I thought you acted like that with everyone.”

[This kid is so annoying. The relationship between Lele and Yu Zhisheng isn’t ordinary. Lele putting her hand on Zhisheng’s shoulder has nothing to do with this child. She really meddles too much.]

[Hey, can all you Duan Lele fans just leave? It’s obvious Lele is trying to stir up a scandal, pretending this and that. The little girl is right; the staff member is part of the production team. Why doesn’t Lele put her hand on his shoulder?]

[Ugh! I’m about to throw up from how disgusting Duan Lele is. She actually puts on a pitiful act in front of a child. Does she have no shame?]

[It wasn’t until watching this live stream that I realized how fake and nasty Duan Lele is. She pretends to be close to Yu Zhisheng to create a scandal while playing the innocent victim.]

[Suddenly, I find Yu Zhisheng’s bluntness quite refreshing. He’s genuine, unlike Duan Lele and Gao Pengfei who are so fake.]

[I agree. Yu Zhisheng makes it clear he doesn’t like Duan Lele and keeps his distance. Unlike some people in this industry who say one thing to your face and another behind your back. So disgusting.]

The chat was filled with criticism aimed at Duan Lele.

Because children naturally have an advantage, and Yu Danxue obediently followed what Duan Lele “said,” combined with Duan Lele’s behavior, countless people poured out scorn and a group of fans even unfollowed her.

Duan Lele’s manager was frantic, repeatedly calling and texting her.

Unfortunately, Duan Lele couldn’t answer her phone while live streaming.

She was put in a difficult spot by Yu Danxue, and her smile nearly broke. “Little sister, who taught you to do this?”

She was supposed to be Zhisheng’s future wife; how could she casually put her hand on another man’s shoulder?

Yu Danxue let out a long “oh” sound. “Sister, you won’t put your hand on this big brother’s shoulder? That’s really interesting.”

After saying that, she bowed politely to the staff member, then ran over to Yu Zhisheng.

“Xiaosheng, let’s go over there for a stroll.”

Yu Zhisheng didn’t even glance at Duan Lele and took Yu Danxue’s hand, walking away.

“Attention, task release now!” The director seemed to relish the drama.

He shouted through a megaphone, “Each group of guests will receive a task card.”

“This task will determine your lunch, dinner, and where you’ll stay tonight.”

Yu Danxue and Yu Zhisheng also received their task cards.

Yu Danxue looked at hers.

It was a small white bear-shaped card with a cute little bear drawn on it and the words “Task Card” written in the center.

“What a cute bear,” Yu Danxue’s eyes sparkled, her little face glowing with joy. “Xiaosheng, look, this bear is so cute.”

Yu Zhisheng bent slightly, cooperating, “It really is cute.”

“If you like it, after this show is done, I’ll take you to the zoo, alright?”

[Wow, is this really the same Yu Zhisheng who snaps at everyone? This is the first time I’ve seen him so gentle.]

[Could it be… just a wild guess, this child is really Yu Zhisheng’s? He deliberately brought the kid on the show to prepare for later revealing the child.]

[No way, no way. The kids on this show aren’t biological, at most relatives’ children.]

[But look closely, this kid looks a lot like Yu Zhisheng. Could the rumor about Yu Zhisheng’s secret marriage be true?]

The chat suddenly shifted from discussing the tasks and the child to debating whether Yu Danxue was Yu Zhisheng’s daughter.

This topic even trended and quickly blew up.

Countless netizens rushed in to see what was going on.

[Did Yu Zhisheng really secretly marry and have a child? I came here after seeing the rumors.]

[They look so alike; it’s definitely father and daughter.]

[Pity that woman, secretly married by Yu Zhisheng, forced to have his child, even used by him like that. How come people like him don’t die sooner?]

At this moment, Yu Danxue and Yu Zhisheng were still unaware of the rumors. The two of them, along with Qi Kang and Luo Jian, were searching for the food items listed on the task card.

“It’s still more comfortable hanging out with you two,” Qi Kang said without caring about the camera, pouting. “Being with those two makes me uncomfortable all over.”

“Brother, don’t say that,” Luo Jian looked adorably worried. “Besides, you promised me to talk less and do more on camera.”

Qi Kang was helpless and made a hand gesture to silence himself.

This caused the live stream chat to erupt in laughter.

[Qi Kang, Qi Kang, didn’t expect you’d end up like this. Little Luo Jian is awesome, keeping Qi Kang’s big mouth in check.]

[I think Luo Jian acts more like the older brother, always worrying about Qi Kang and telling him to shut up. Look at Luo Jian, he looks like he’s resigned to fate.]

[But really, the scenery here is beautiful. Any random shot could be a wallpaper.]

[There are so many people busy in the fields. Honestly, this kind of place is very relaxing for us city folks, but it’s just everyday life for villagers.]

The topic gradually shifted to the village itself, and many viewers became interested in it.

Yu Danxue, holding a basket and the task card, arrived with Yu Zhisheng and the others at a humble family home.

It was a very ordinary, single-story house.

The house was a bit old but clean and tidy, with no strange odors.

In the right corner of the front yard was a small vegetable garden with some vegetables growing. On the left side was a chicken coop housing some chickens and ducks.

“Hello, is anyone home?” Yu Danxue raised her voice slightly.

“Coming, coming!” Soon, an elderly woman, slightly stooped and leaning on a cane, emerged from the living room.

Seeing the four standing at the door, she greeted them with a warm smile. “Come in, come in.”

“My home is simple; please don’t mind,” she said.

Yu Danxue and the others thanked her before stepping inside.

“Grandma’s place is really nice,” Yu Danxue smiled with narrowed eyes. “Good food, drink, a place to stay, and family around—how happy you must be.”

She envied the woman’s ability to be surrounded by family.

Yu Zhisheng looked down at her, thoughtful.
