Chapter 106 - 106 I Will Kick Out Anyone Who Follows Me There

106 I Will Kick Out Anyone Who Follows Me There

After dinner, Lin Wan took out the cake she brought home last night from the refrigerator.

On the way there, he found out that Lin Wan was working at a dessert shop. Li Zexuan looked at the uniquely shaped cake. “Ms. Lin, I heard you’re helping out in Ms. Xia’s shop. Did you use your salary to buy the cake?”

Li Zekai lowered his eyes guiltily. “I ate it last night and thought it was delicious. I thought Auntie Xia couldn’t sell it, so I asked Auntie Lin to bring it home. Did Auntie Lin buy it from her own salary?”

Li Zexuan roughly knew about the salary of ordinary workers. His manager had told him about it. Besides, Lin Wan worked only for half a day. She might not make much.

!!

“Daddy, please reimburse her.” Li Zexin sympathized with Lin Wan, too. He knew she was a lazy person, but she was trying her best to work. She had used the little she earned to buy a cake for them. It was too tragic.

Li Yanchen got scolded by his three sons. He narrowed his eyes at Lin Wan waiting for her to explain herself. But she hugged her thermos and didn’t even look at him.

They were still scolding him right next to his ear. He felt like his head would explode.

“Lin Wan, don’t you need to go to the stop early today?” he asked hurriedly as he shook off Li Zekai.

“Ye! Let’s go,” said Lin Wan.

“Ms. Lin!” Li Zexin grabbed the hem of her sleeves. “Can I come along to Ms. Xia’s shop? I want to meet Xiao Yi.”

“Xiao Yi is not at the shop.”

“Brother, your excuses won’t work,” said Li Zekai. “I went to visit Auntie Lin a few days ago. I wasn’t allowed to stay there even for a while. I had to come back in less than two minutes. Auntie Lin is very busy. Don’t disturb her work.”

“Oh…” Li Zexin’s shoulders dropped.

“The result isn’t even out, and you are feeling this good about yourself. If you go and show off, and later if you do very badly, you are going to get humiliated,” said Li Zexuan. “Ms. Lin, you can take me with you instead. With me there, your business will boom. Maybe you will get more commission.”

Li Yanchen was speechless.

“No way. I am not taking any of you there,” said Lin Wan. “You guys staying at home without making trouble will be the best help you can give me. I will kick out anyone who follows me there.”

Li Zexuan was stunned. He had offered to do free advertisement for her, and yet she rejected him.

“Brother, Ms. Xia didn’t open her shop to make money,” gloated Li Zexin. “If you go, you will attract so many pesky people at the shop that it will hinder her business. Stay at home, okay?”

“I will destroy you.” Li Zexuan threw a pillow at Li Zexin

“Don’t mess around,” Li Yanchen picked up the pillow. “I will drop her and come back early. You guys can decide what you feel like eating. I can take all of you out to eat.”

“Okay! Goodbye, Dad. Goodbye, Auntie Lin.” Li Zekai obediently let go of his father’s hand.

After spending half a month with Lin Wan, Xia Mo no longer cared if she participated in the second episode of the show. It did not matter if Lin Wan did not want to attend, she was satisfied that Lin Wan did the live stream in her shop. Although Lin Wan hadn’t agreed to be her mentor, Xia Mo thought that their relationship was still that of a teacher and a disciple as Lin Wan taught her so many new things.

Lin Wan was smiling when she entered The Sweetheart Inn. She was in a very good mood.

“The children are back?” Xia Mo asked.

“Yes.”

“Only yesterday, a certain someone was complaining that the Devil King was about to return to his throne and destroy the remaining few peaceful days. Today, that certain someone enters the shop full of smiles. It seems that certain someone gets along fine with the children.”

Lin Wan instantly stopped smiling. “The chief troublemaker and second troublemaker are both home. The first one offered to be a representative of the shop to boom the business and the second one wanted to come look for Xiao Yi. I rejected them both.”

“Really? Xiao Yi is home for the holidays. He spends his days at home playing games and doing nothing else. It’s good that they are back. Maybe they can meet up here.” Xia Mo hoped the children would get along and spend their time away from their games for a change.

“Can I still do the live broadcast with them here?”

“You really don’t want them to know? Who would have thought that Lin Wan would become an internet celebrity? You have more fans than me now.” Xia Mo put a hand on Lin Wan’s shoulder. “You said you didn’t want to join the second episode and needed to earn the money to pay the fine if you cancel it. Li Yanchen dotes on you so much. Why don’t you just ask him to pay?”

Lin Wan put her apron on. “Who was the one who lectured me on women having their own carriers and relying on themselves?”

Xia Mo chuckled. “What I said is all true. But I am just saying you don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. It is okay to ask for help.”

“Do I look that stressed to you?” Lin Wan asked. She didn’t know Xiao Mo could tell. “Li Yanchen is happy I am trying to do something with my life, and the other three think he is just oppressing me.” Lin Wan chuckled. But it was true that she felt that making money was difficult no matter which world she lived in.

“Oh… that’s certainly interesting.” Xia Mo rested her chin on her hand. “I think you will definitely join the second episode with them. I am sure of it. Just wait and see, if you don’t believe me.”

“The live stream is starting. Don’t talk nonsense.” Lin Wan turned on the live stream.

[Xiao Huan is here!]

[I just came from the hot search. Your desserts are trending.]

[Sister, you’re so clever. Are you married? Whoever marries her will be so lucky!]

Ever since the creation of Sweet Little Circle channel, all she received was praises whether in the bullet screen or in her inbox. There was not a single bad comment in the live stream room from nearly a million fans. The desserts displayed in Lin Wan’s live stream room had also been replicated by Xia Mo and placed in the display window of The Sweetheart Inn.

No one was aware of the secret office in The Sweetheart Inn where Lin Wan did her live stream.

Very quickly, Lin Wan’s Volcano Ice Cream Sundae made it to the top of the hot search. Reporters, food critics and chefs alike sent her private messages asking for an interview. Lin Wan didn’t reply to any of them.

Li Zexuan, who unfailingly kept track of the trends these days, saw this on his phone. He clicked on the picture of the cake and noticed that it was similar to the one Lin Wan brought home. From the comments, he found out that Sweet Little Circle channel made this dessert and Xia Mo replicated it and sold it in her shop. Everyone wanted to know who the mysterious dessert chef was.

Only the mouth and the hands of the dessert chef were visible in the video. Li Zexuan found them somewhat familiar.

At Chenxin headquarters, there was a problem with the project at the West City. The management of the company had called for an emergency meeting, and Li Yanchen had to go to the West City for a trip overnight. After the meeting, he created a family group. He added Lin Wan and his sons in the group.

Lin Wan was still busy with her live broadcast so she didn’t see the group messages.

Li Yanchen sent out a few Red Packets on WeChat. Li Zexuan and Li Zexin quickly opened them.

“Dad, you are being very generous today. Did you sign another successful deal?” Li Zexin typed.

“I can’t have dinner with you tonight. I am sorry. I have to fly to the West City right now. I promise I will be back home tomorrow night.” Li Yanchen rubbed his temples.

Li Zexuan and Li Zexin sent the Red Packets back to the family group. “Returning them to you. You can’t buy us with money.”

“I promise I will make it for tomorrow’s dinner.” Li Yanchen felt powerless.

Secretary Han had already prepared everything. “Let’s go, boss.”

At Royal Water Bay Villa, Li Zexin came out of the study. “Brother, let’s leave the family group as a protest!”

“The group’s name is even “What A Big Family!”. Ugh! I am leaving it.” Li Zexuan agreed with his brother.

And so, the two sons left the family group chat which had been created just moments ago.
