From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids
Chapter 167: Hmm, Let's Try Dating First
After a while, their faces were covered in sweat, and the sunscreen they had applied was all for naught.
The three kids stared wide-eyed at the abundance of fruit in front of them.
They had never seen so many fruits on trees before.
They happily ran around with other kids.
Once they had played enough, the kids helped the adults pick the fruits from the trees.
The guests weren't just working non-stop; during the process, everyone chatted and laughed, sharing their life's joys.
As dinner time approached, the female guests set aside their tasks and prepared to go back and cook.
Meanwhile, the male guests busy in the orchard quickly wrapped up after the ladies did.
Zhang Tianliu had never worked so hard in his life, his back nearly too weak to stand straight.
However, seeing that Wen Xing and other male guests didn't complain, he had to endure his back pain and walked back with everyone, chatting and laughing.
[I thought these guests couldn't handle hardship. After a day, except for a few, most of them managed quite well.]
[Yeah, everyone was quite earnest and straightforward, nothing particularly noteworthy.]
[Right, unlike the guests from the previous seasons, who had very noticeable highlights. They were alright at cooking and working, just ordinary.]
[I think it's fine, there's not much drama, and overall it feels quite warm. Look at the kids interacting with their fathers, isn't it very lovely?]
[I noticed Su Xingwan's three kids don't talk to Zhang Tianliu; they stick closely to their aunt. Even when Zhang Tianliu makes an effort to play with them, they ignore him.]
[Su Xingwan and the others don't even want to cooperate. The adults and kids are doing their own things independently.]
[Yes, hahaha, I noticed that too. The other guest couples seem quite loving, even if it's fake, but certain interactions do feel genuine. Whereas with Su Xingwan, you only see warmth and love with her kids; Zhang Tianliu seems nonexistent in her presence.]
[Well, those three kids were brought by Su Xingwan, they'll definitely be close to their aunt.]
[It's just that Zhang Tianliu does nothing with household chores, he's no help at all with cooking.]
[You've misunderstood him; my brother doesn't know how to cook at all. If he helps in the kitchen, like Zhang Qiaoqiao, he'll probably burn it down.]
[Yeah, it's quite normal actually, a lot of men don't do household chores. Look, Zhang Tianliu was working in the orchard with the other male guests in the afternoon. He didn't even complain about being tired.]
Su Xingwan had help with dinner from her mother-in-law today, making the cooking task much easier.
Soon, they finished dinner, and her mother-in-law even volunteered to do the dishes.
Su Xingwan suddenly had a lot of free time and went for a walk on the countryside paths with the three kids after her bath.
[Did the sun rise from the west today? Su Xingwan's mother-in-law actually helped her with chores, and took on quite a bit of it too.]
[I find it a bit suspicious, did Su Xingwan secretly bribe the production team or something? Why did her mother-in-law's attitude suddenly change so much?]
[No idea, let's just keep watching.]
The two little ones each held onto their aunt's fingertips, while Little Su Yan walked beside his brother; a big one and three small ones strolling along at sunset.
From a distance, this scene was heartwarming and beautiful.
Su Xingwan was wearing a white dress at the time, with lightly curled long hair. When she looked down at the three kids, her eyebrows curved, and there was a faint smile on her cheeks.
[Wow! This scene feels straight out of a manga! I want to draw it.]
[Yes, there's a serene feeling about it, so warm.]
[This is what a family variety show should be like.]
The three kids, with tufts of hair sticking up on their heads, blinked their cute big eyes at their aunt.
"Auntie, we want to call uncle?"
Su Xingwan paused.
"Go ahead."
[Wow, I'm kind of curious about who their uncle is.]
[I'm curious too. The three kids mentioned their uncle several times today.]
However, Su Xingwan glanced at the camera person following them.
She spoke softly, "Let's find a place without cameras to make the call."
[Why? It's just a phone call, and you're not letting the audience see?]
[I bet there's something special about Su Xingwan and this 'uncle' the kids talk about.]
[You don't need to see; it's definitely an ambiguous couple relationship, haha.]
Little Su Yan had just taken his phone out of his pocket when he heard his aunt's words.
"Then where should we make the call?"
Su Xingwan looked around.
"How about over by the hotel?"
Little Su Yan quietly put his phone back in his pocket.
[I just realized, this kid actually has his own phone?]
[Not just him, the other two kids have phones too. Tsk, tsk, they really are wealthy celebrities. Three four-year-olds each with a phone worth thousands, when I was four, I was playing in the dirt.]
As they walked, a message notification sounded from Su Xingwan's phone.
She swiped to see it was from Lu Yun.
[I see you all taking a walk, seems quite leisurely.]
Su Xingwan replied: [Yeah.]
Then she noticed Lu Yun was still typing... He seemed to have something to say but hadn't sent it yet.
At that moment, Su Xingwan saw.
[There's something I've wanted to ask.]
[That night, about what I told you over the phone, have you thought it over?]
After Lu Yun sent this, his deep gaze focused on the screen where the pretty woman was holding three children.
His eyes remained fixed on her serene face, quietly anticipating.
Su Xingwan stared at his message for quite some time.
The three kids noticed their aunt suddenly stopped walking and asked curiously.
"Auntie, why did you stop walking?"
"Auntie has something to do, can you go play by yourself for a while?"
"Okay, Auntie," the three kids said obediently.
Su Xingwan took a deep breath and looked back at her phone screen.
Finally she typed.
[Okay, let's try dating first.]
Lu Yun's breath hitched.
His long, aloof gaze intensely focused on the phone screen.
She agreed?
A surge of excitement quietly welled from deep within his heart.
[Alright.]
His typing hand trembled slightly.
Upon receiving his reply, Su Xingwan's eyebrows curved subconsciously.
Barrage—
[Who is Su Xingwan chatting with, she's so happy?]
[It feels like she's talking about a new romance.]
[Wow, Su Xingwan's smile is so sweet!]
[Is she in love? Talking to that uncle?]
[There's a hint of a K-drama heroine vibe.]
[Geez, I don't even see the person, but I'm feeling that sweet chemistry.]
[You're not the only one feeling that way.]
[Ah! I'm more curious about this unseen uncle now.]
