[Is there something that can't be said in front of us viewers? Not saying secrets makes me itch with curiosity.]

[Hehe, going to find that Mr. Lu again tonight?]

[Eh, I thought it was to secretly meet Wen Xing.]

At dinner, Su Xingwan still didn't eat much, perhaps because sitting with Zhang Tianliu left her with little appetite.

The three little ones always have a good appetite, and they ate this meal with relish.

[Watching kids eat so heartily is delightful!]

Almost until late at night, Su Xingwan finally received his message. She turned her head to see the three little ones each holding a phone, asleep over the pillows.

Su Xingwan shook her head helplessly.

She had to put on her coat and go out. As she stepped out, she saw the director looking at her with a grin.

Su Xingwan felt embarrassed being watched by the director and quickly lowered her head to leave.

When she arrived, she saw Lu Yun just like last night, sitting at the dining table with several delicious dishes laid out.

Lu Yun heard her coming and turned his head to look.

"Hmm, where are the three?"

Su Xingwan helplessly said, "The kids couldn't hold on; they've already fallen asleep."

Lu Yun understood.

Su Xingwan suspiciously said, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Lu Yun replied, "No, should I come earlier tomorrow night?"

Seeing this, Su Xingwan sat at the dining table.

Her stomach growled a few times.

She was truly hungry.

Immediately, she quickly had a big bowl of rice, and when she ate the second bowl, her speed slowed down.

While eating, Su Xingwan said, "By the way, there's something I want to ask you."

"What is it?"

"I want to ask about Wen Xing..."

Before she finished, she felt a chill coming from him.

Su Xingwan looked up at him in confusion.

"What's with you?"

Lu Yun pressed his lips, "Are you close with him?"

"Not really."

"Then why do you want to know about him?"

"I want to know about him because..."

Su Xingwan thought of what Wen Xing said to her last night. She felt something was odd about him but couldn't pinpoint it.

Looking up, she saw he was staring at her.

Instinctively, she explained, "You misunderstand, I want to know about him because I feel like he has secrets."

Lu Yun said, "What I found out about him is that a few months ago, Wen Xing experienced a devastating cyberbullying attack. At that time, all major investors abandoned him, and Wen Xing even attempted suicide during that cyberbullying incident. But what no one expected was that he regained popularity and media attention through a reality show."

Su Xingwan was silent for a few seconds, "He actually attempted suicide?"

Lu Yun looked at her, "Yeah."

Su Xingwan was surprised, "You couldn't tell at all."

Even though she had only been in contact with him for two or three days, he seemed to have a positive and upbeat attitude towards life. If Lu Yun hadn't told her, she really couldn't have guessed he underwent a disastrous cyberbullying incident.

"What are you thinking?" At some point, he had moved closer.

Lu Yun's deep, indifferent eyes fell on her full, rosy lips, which shone with a sheen.

Involuntarily, his Adam's apple moved; his eyes darkened.

When Su Xingwan realized, she saw Lu Yun was so close he was almost on her. She subconsciously distanced herself a bit.

Even though they were already together.

She still seemed a bit unaccustomed to being so close to him.

A trace of red climbed on her face, she quickly stood up, "I'm done eating... I'll head off now."

He noticed her resisting and lowered his eyes, "I'll walk you back a bit."

"Okay."

Because of last night's experience, Su Xingwan didn't refuse this time.

In the following days, Su Xingwan almost went out every night, sometimes taking the three little ones along.

This parent-child variety show made it to trending searches once it started, raising expectations high. Now, after a few days of live streaming, it's been trending almost daily.

The trending topics for the past two seasons mainly described the guests' cooking skills and the intriguing plots of female guests outsmarting their wicked mothers-in-law.

This season, however, was completely different.

Netizens unexpectedly became fans of the guests' on-screen romances in the parent-child variety show.

Even each pair of guest couples had their own appeal and never got tiresome.

For example, the real couple of Mu Yingying and Le Tan, with fans openly shipping them, even gave them the couple name "Sweet Partner Couple."

The pairing of Zhang Qiaoqiao was generally known as the Dumb Beauty and the Kind Male Guest who always covered for her mistakes.

Jiang Yan and Wen Xing were referred to as having a vibe of an old married couple living in harmony.

Su Xingwan and Zhang Tianliu, with their mutual annoyance as enemies, had no appeal, and fans gave up on them altogether.

These four pairs had their own trending topics online, and each had a dedicated super topic.

But what surprised netizens was that Su Xingwan's group topped the super topic list.

Many netizens knew that Su Xingwan and Zhang Tianliu had zero romantic chemistry, so they were puzzled about why this group had the highest topic rank.

When they clicked in, they realized Su Xingwan was paired with the mysterious "little uncle" who never appeared on the show.

[I must admit, even though that little uncle never appeared, there's this inexplicable charm about it that makes it oddly appealing.]

[Wuwu, me too. Especially someone like Su Xingwan, her attitude towards Zhang Tianliu during the day is so terrible, yet at night when chatting with him on WeChat, she secretly blushes.]

[Su Xingwan sneaking out at night for a secret rendezvous when everyone is asleep really hits my sweet spot, doesn't it?]

Zhang Tianliu got a call from his manager, who informed him he was the only one not included in the couple group in the guest super topics, making him furious.

Recently, he had been trying to reconcile with Su Xingwan intentionally or unintentionally, but she wouldn't give him any face.

He angrily thought of teaching Su Xingwan a lesson by hiring internet trolls to smear her, but it never worked out well.

Ultimately, he discovered that Mr. Lu was helping Su Xingwan behind the scenes and even launched a counterattack against him, which led to a flood of negative comments about him online lately.

Therefore, he was utterly helpless and couldn't touch Su Xingwan.

He even slightly regretted his actions towards her that night.

On the phone, his manager chastised him.

"Zhang Tianliu, you really acted rashly this time. Sure, you can bully people, but knowing full well that Su Xingwan has Mr. Lu backing her, why would you provoke her?"

Zhang Tianliu gritted his teeth, "How was I supposed to know Mr. Lu would go that far for her? I thought he was just playing around."

Manager: "Even if Mr. Lu is just playing around, at least until he tires of that woman, he stands behind her."

Zhang Tianliu was silent for a few seconds, "I understand. I'll remember this lesson."

The manager softened, "To be fair, it wasn't entirely your fault. Even I underestimated Su Xingwan. I didn't expect her to completely disregard your face on the show, always keeping a long face, not fearing netizens' criticism, and doing whatever she wanted."
