Ye Yixing awkwardly chuckled: "I... I was just joking. How could you do such a thing? But there's nothing I can do, right? I've said so many nice things about you in front of her. If it were any other woman, she might have agreed by now. But this Su Xingwan..."

Thinking of something, he changed his tone: "Alright, Su Xingwan is just that special one. Otherwise, you wouldn't have fallen for her."

Lu Yun didn't want to discuss this topic anymore and changed the subject: "Who are the guests on that parenting reality show she's on?"

Ye Yixing immediately reported: "There are quite a few beauties in it, but if we're talking about handsome guys, there's only this one, Wen Xing."

"Wen Xing?" Lu Yun found the name somewhat familiar.

Ye Yixing looked serious: "I checked him out before, he's Zhang Tianliu's rival. A year ago, Zhang Tianliu played him badly, and there was a lot of negative talk about him online. But in the past few months, he's bounced back, even more popular than before, and both are now balancing each other out in the entertainment circle."

He continued: "To be honest, that Wen Xing is quite my type. To bounce back so quickly shows he's very capable, and unlike Zhang Tianliu, who plays many dirty underhanded tricks in private, Wen Xing is quite upright. I wonder if Su Xingwan joining the show will find him appealing."

He said this deliberately, glancing at his cousin.

As expected, he saw his cousin's face was serious.

He continued: "Ah, what a pity, if you were Su Xingwan's boyfriend now, you could be jealous and stop her from joining, but now you're not anyone to her, so you can't stop her."

Lu Yun: "Is Zhang Tianliu also participating?"

"Seems like it. I checked the comments from netizens, and guess what, those fans are eagerly anticipating. Since they're rivals, they're bound to clash on the show."

Lu Yun wasn't interested in what he was saying.

He only asked: "What's the content of their show?"

Ye Yixing: "It's just going to the countryside to pretend to be someone else's wife and husband."

After he said this, Lu Yun's expression suddenly turned cold.

Ye Yixing quickly added: "It's just pretending, don't worry. It's like acting, there's no way they would really become someone else's spouse. The main focus of the show is the warm daily interactions between parents and children."

After he finished, he noticed his cousin still had a cold face.

He said: "Anyway, this show is a live broadcast, you can just watch it every day. And since Su Xingwan is developing in the entertainment industry, these things are inevitable."

Ye Yixing finished speaking, paused, and looked at his cousin.

"I have one more thing to tell you..."

"What is it?"

"Do you know why Su Xingwan was able to participate in this phenomenally popular reality show?"

Lu Yun turned his gaze towards him.

Ye Yixing hesitated for a moment and said: "Su Xingwan got the invitation as a guest spot from Wen Xing."

After he said this, he saw his cousin's eyes turn completely cold, with a hint of a storm brewing.

After a long silence, he finally heard his cousin speak.

"So earlier you kept bringing up Wen Xing in front of me?"

Ye Yixing: "What else? I wanted you to feel a sense of urgency, so you don't end up getting your girl snatched by someone else before you even pursue her."

"And I told you back then to hurry up. Don't dawdle when chasing girls. With your wealth and power, you could make her a superstar in no time. But now you didn't, and there are people willing to support her."

However, he heard his cousin say something else: "Doesn't this Wen Xing not even know her?"

Ye Yixing stretched his legs on the sofa: "Didn't Su Xingwan do some short dramas and show up on TV? Maybe he fell for her at first sight on television? Or Wen Xing wants to recruit her to his studio. With this back and forth, their relationship could get closer?"

Ye Yixing saw his cousin fall into another long silence.

He remembered the last time his cousin was silent for a long time was when Su Xingwan had just done short dramas.

In retrospect, it was definitely his cousin getting jealous, feeling sour inside. Yet, he had no identity or reason to be jealous.

Just like now, they're only connected by their little relative bond, not anything intimate.

Su Xingwan was a bit surprised when she received the invite list for the reality show.

The guest stars on this list were actually big-name celebs with high statuses.

She was just a small actress from short dramas, able to join such a big reality show, was a bit too unbelievable.

In doubt, she confirmed repeatedly with Director Jiang: "Does the investor of this show really want me to participate in this reality show? And the pay is this high?"

Director Jiang smiled as he said: "You're not mistaken, they want you to go. It might be your big break, the investors have taken a liking to you."

"However, since this show is broadcasted nationwide, you must do well. You might just become famous overnight through this show, especially if you ride the wave with those big-time stars like Zhang Tianliu and Wen Xing. You won't worry about not having roles, and your career might take a big leap, firmly rooting in the entertainment industry."

Su Xingwan shared this with Wen Yue.

Wen Yue was thrilled with a hundred percent agreement and happiness.

[You're going on the live reality show with the little ones? Then can I just sit in front of the computer and watch you every day?]

Su Xingwan didn't expect her to feel this way.

[Xingwan, you don't know, I'm mostly bored at home besides handling company affairs. Grandpa is strict and uptight, forbidding me from this and that.]

[Also, he arranged a blind date for me today, I'm really worn out by him. Grandpa also said when you come back you could help choose as well.]

Su Xingwan: "..."

Thinking about that old man being her own grandfather, she felt she should go back as late as possible.

Back home.

The three little ones looked up at their aunt: "Auntie, are we going on TV?"

Su Xingwan nodded and smiled: "Yes, just think of it as going there to play."

"Yay!"

The two little ones were very happy, as long as they could be with their aunt, they were willing to do anything.

Su Xingwan had already arranged with their class teacher and the kindergarten principal for a leave of absence, and the principal agreed.

Teacher Huang knew the three were child stars, they had recently shot a drama series, now airing and very popular, chased by everyone young and old.

Recently, when the three little ones walked in the kindergarten, many kids would come over, and teachers from other classes often visited just to see them.

Moreover, the parents picking up their kids turned their attention to the three little ones, some came specifically to the classroom to see them.

Photos were taken, posts were made on social media, and the class was bustling.

Now that they're on leave, it's good, leaving her class a bit quieter, as she couldn't handle that many parents.
