Chapter 9 The Other Guests (Part 2)

Chapter 9: Other Guests (Part 2)

The fourth group’s accompanying assistant was a Beta girl named A'ni.

After ringing the doorbell, the door slowly opened within half a minute.

However, no one was visible in front of the camera. A'ni, who had intended to greet Su Yuecheng or her partner, froze for a moment.

Just then, a sweet voice came from below: “Hello, big sister. Please come in.”

The camera followed the sound downward, revealing a fair, delicate, and pretty little girl with two braids. She wore a small floral-patterned blouse with lantern sleeves paired with light brown lantern-legged pants, looking both well-behaved and cute.

“Hello, sweetie! I’m Sister A'ni.” A'ni followed the little girl into the house and couldn’t resist patting the child’s head. The little girl turned back and gave her a sweet smile.

The comments section exploded with excitement.

“Xiao Moli, it’s Xiao Moli! Ahhh!”

“Good baby, good baby—Auntie wants to scoop you up!”

“Xiao Moli, what kind of sack do you like? I’m placing an order now!” (Note: This is a playful kidnapping joke common in Chinese fandom.)

At that moment, Su Yuecheng walked out of the bathroom with a sheet mask on. “Wow, you’re here so early! I’m not even ready yet.”

A'ni replied, “No rush, Teacher Su. We still have over an hour.”

Hearing this, Su Yuecheng grew even more anxious. “Ah! Only an hour left? I need to hurry!”

With that, she removed her face mask and hurried off.

The bullet comments erupted in laughter again.

“Hahaha, Chengcheng is still the same as ever.”

“Clearly, Xiao Moli takes after her mommy.”

Su Yuecheng was an outstanding actress—nine out of ten dramas she starred in became massive hits.

Unfortunately, Su Yuecheng herself was solely devoted to acting and had no interest in awards, big or small.

Xiao Moli was very much like her mother in this regard—exceptionally photogenic and quite talented in acting. Though only five years old, she was already a well-known child star.

Her acting skills surpassed those of many young idols, and combined with her adorable appearance, she was hailed as the “Nation’s Darling Daughter.”

Director Pan and another renowned director once praised Xiao Moli, saying she was born to be an actress and would even surpass her mother.

In dramas, Xiao Moli had played a variety of roles—a tsundere princess, a domineering young lady, a child from a poor family, and more.

In reality, however, Xiao Moli was somewhat shy and reserved. At that moment, she was snuggled in her mother’s arms.

The sophisticated woman on the sofa, beautiful and sharp-looking, closed her notebook, removed her Bluetooth earpiece, and offered a faint smile to everyone as a greeting.

This was Xiao Moli’s other mother, Jiang Xingqi, the head of the Jiang Corporation.

The Jiang and Lu families were equally prestigious—both were truly wealthy and influential families.

The Jiang family was involved in real estate, while the Lu family focused on high-tech industries. There was no substantial conflict of interest between them; in fact, they occasionally collaborated.

Moreover, the two prominent families had a long-standing friendship.

Back when Jiang Xingqi proposed to Su Yuecheng, it caused quite a stir, staying on the hot search for days.

By the time Su Yuecheng finished getting ready, it was already quite late.

She hurriedly rushed upstairs to pack her suitcase.

But before she could take two steps, Jiang Xingqi grabbed her by the collar, and the nanny brought out two suitcases—one large and one small.

Su Yuecheng looked delighted, blew Jiang Xingqi a kiss, and said playfully, “Thank you, darling! Xiao Moli and I will get going now.”

Jiang Xingqi’s eyes were full of tenderness and affection. “Alright.”

Xiao Moli, holding her mother’s hand with one hand and pulling her small suitcase with the other, asked, “Mommy, will you come visit us when we miss you?”

Jiang Xingqi gently pinched her daughter’s little braid and replied softly, “Of course.”

Reassured, Xiao Moli imitated her mother and blew Jiang Xingqi a kiss, making Jiang Xingqi chuckle.

“Darling, the baby and I are leaving now. Wait for me at home, okay?” Su Yuecheng seemed very excited about the trip. After bidding Jiang Xingqi farewell, she left with her daughter in tow.

“Have a pleasant journey.” Jiang Xingqi stood watching like a stone statue waiting for his wife, until the car disappeared from sight before finally turning back.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast, the final guest to appear was none other than the protagonist shou from the original novel.

The moment Wen Yuchen saw the flood of bullet comments, he wanted to turn off the stream. But adhering to the principle of “know yourself and know your enemy,” he continued watching.

Yes, Wen Yuchen, who had left early, was watching the live streams of the other groups on the high-speed train. He particularly liked Xiao Moli and Xiao Shiliu.

However, once the male protagonist appeared, Wen Yuchen had no choice but to abandon the two adorable children and focus on him.

“Wealthy—truly wealthy! Our Xiao Xiao is genuinely from a rich family!”

“This massive luxury villa—I couldn’t afford it even if I sold myself!”

“I see Xiao Xiao! So beautiful, so gorgeous!”

“My wife, my wife—let me admire her!”

“Nonsense! She’s clearly my wife!”

“Our Xiao Xiao is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she comes from a truly wealthy family. How does Wen the Blur dare to keep clinging to her?”

“Alright, let’s not mention him in Xiao Xiao’s live chat. He’s a jinx.”

“Exactly, let’s not give him any chance to ride on Xiao Xiao’s coattails.”

On screen, the first thing that came into view was a luxurious villa.

The accompanying assistant, Weiwei, exclaimed excitedly, “Friends, we’re about to meet Xiao Xiao! I’m so excited! I see him!”

As soon as the camera crew stepped out of the car, Tang Zhixiao approached with a little boy.

To be fair, Tang Zhixiao was strikingly beautiful—an ethereal beauty with amber-colored eyes and vertical pupils.

Rather than being just a popular idol, he was more accurately described as an outstanding singer and composer.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Tang Zhixiao.” His voice was as calm and composed as he was.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Tang Luoxi, and I’m six years old. You can call me Xi Xi.” Tang Luoxi spoke with a slight foreign accent but was exquisitely beautiful, with brown curly hair that made him look like a doll. Dressed in a little suit, he resembled a little adult.

Tang Luoxi is the second child of Tang Zhixiao's older brother and is of mixed heritage. He grew up abroad and has only recently returned to the country.

Tang Luoxi's foreign Omega father, Richard, is the apple of the Anderson family's eye. Compared to the Anderson family, the Tang family is simply no match. Tang Zhixiao's brother essentially married into the Anderson family.

On the surface, Tang Luoxi appears to be a handsome and well-behaved little gentleman, but in reality, everyone knows this kid has been spoiled rotten by the Anderson family to the point of being unruly.

His two fathers couldn't handle this little troublemaker.

Because he kept getting on his older brother's nerves, and his brother was over doting on him endlessly. Additionally, since both brothers are Alphas, his brother believed he could take a hit. Fearing that Tang Luoxi might be beaten to death by his seven-year-older brother, the two fathers decided to send him back to the Tang family.

Moreover, the Anderson family doesn’t need too many heirs.

Tang Zhixiao was reluctant to take on this hot potato. As someone unmarried and without children, how could he possibly know how to raise a kid?

On the very first night after arriving, the uncle and nephew engaged in a battle of wills between men. Tang Zhixiao came out slightly ahead, and the little troublemaker Xi Xi was kept in line by Tang Zhixiao—though this only applied when Tang Zhixiao was around.

"Xi Xi is so adorable, and he even speaks with an accent!"

"What a well-behaved little one."

"Xi Xi comes from a prominent family—his manners must be impeccable."

Watching Xi Xi happily pushing his own suitcase, Tang Zhixiao felt his head starting to throb.
