Chapter 55

Qin Yu is a complete idiot when it comes to daily life.

Having come to this conclusion, He Nianzhu just wanted to kick this guy out of the kitchen.

During the meal, a netizen asked the question that had been bothering everyone all day: "Rou Rou, what is your relationship with Nian Zhu? Why do you call him Er Bao? Are there Da Bao and Xiao Bao too?"

“I’m his great-aunt, and he’s my little grand-nephew!” The mother and son had already rehearsed their lines. She said cheerfully, “I have three treasures, Da Bao, Er Bao, and Xiao Bao. I’m their great-aunt, Queen, and Princess, hehe.”

These titles were so exaggerated that they left the viewers speechless.

[Ah, my chubby baby is really a senior! I thought it was just a joke... Wow, such a high seniority!]

Are Erbao and Xiaobao He Nianzhu's other siblings? Rumors online suggest he's an only child.

[These nicknames clearly show how high the succulent baby's status is within the family, hahaha.]

[Those marketing accounts that claimed the younger brother had a daughter out of wedlock, stop pretending to be dead and come out and apologize!]

At this moment, the Senming employees who were watching the live broadcast were all stunned!

Others may not recognize her, but they do. Isn't Rou Rou the CEO's little daughter?

——My Lady Queen!

It turns out that the Queen has another impressive identity: the great-aunt of top star He Nianzhu, who is the second child!

Then... who is Xiao Bao?

The employees of Senming Group looked at each other, staring at the screen with bated breath, wishing a gossip-eating system would fall from the sky and let them have their fill of gossip.

This conversation, which was meant to clarify things, was also edited out by fans and posted on the trending topics. In fact, even without the current clarification, few people would believe that he had a daughter out of wedlock.

He Nianzhu is only twenty years old, how could she possibly have given birth to a five-year-old baby? It's just a topic created by those marketing accounts to gain attention and boost their popularity.

He Nianzhu's bad temper is well-known in the industry. Since her debut, she has never stopped suing anti-fans. She is really daring to sue, and her popularity is really huge. For this reason, the marketing account used the word "suspected" in a tactful way.

Unexpectedly, this person didn't send a lawyer's letter, but chose the most direct and embarrassing way: directly taking the child involved to a children's variety show. This silenced all the marketing accounts that were jumping on the bandwagon to criticize.

As the discussion grew, and realizing they couldn't fool the public anymore, the marketing accounts that had been playing dead came back to life, logging on and sheepishly apologizing.

After dinner, Qin Yu thoughtfully helped clear the dishes and mopped the floor before taking his leave with Lanlan.

Xu Yirou and her son saw them off at the door and watched them get into the car before returning to their own home.

It was already 8 p.m., and He Nianzhu, who had been busy all day, collapsed on the sofa and closed her eyes like a dead fish.

Xu Yirou, however, was still full of energy. Seeing her exhausted son, she quickly climbed onto the sofa and began to massage He Nianzhu vigorously.

The cub's fingers were soft and smooth, and the massage was as gentle as fluffing cotton. He Nianzhu slowly straightened her neck and said, "Grandma, you don't need to massage me. My muscles are too stiff, and it will be too much trouble for you to massage me. Go play."

The live chat exploded with meme-loving comments: [Hard? Really? How hard? Let me feel it!!]

[Hehe, I love my hard little brother the most, slurp~]

【It's all your fault, you made my face turn yellow.】

Xu Yirou rubbed her sore fingers: "I think we have a massager at home, I'll go look for it."

After saying that, she jumped off the sofa, ran into the bedroom in a flash, and returned shortly afterward carrying a heavy massager.

"Erbao, this is a massager that Dabao gave me before. It's really useful." Following her memory, she turned on the massager, and the four-cornered massager started working with a humming sound.

He Nianzhu looked radiant after using the massager; I must say, the gift from her older brother was quite nice.

The massager has a heat therapy function and can be used on the shoulders, neck, and waist. He Nianzhu closed his eyes and enjoyed it comfortably, while the baby's mother lay down next to him.

It was past nine o'clock when Xu Yirou finally got up. Her biological clock had kicked in, and she looked sleepy. She nudged her sleeping son with her little foot and said, "Second baby, I want to take a bath."

He Nianzhu, still half asleep, asked, "Ah, do you want me to help you wash?"

"No, no!" Xu Yirou shook her head vigorously, saying earnestly, "I'll wash it myself!"

He Nianzhu came to her senses and sat up straight: "Then I'll go run the water and prepare some clean clothes."

In the past, Xu Yirou would have a maid by her side to protect her safety when she took a bath, but not today.

Xu Yirou was afraid of being alone, so He Nianzhu sat at the bathroom door, occasionally making a sound to interact with the cub's mother and give her a sense of security.

"Erbao, are you there?"

"I'm here, Grandma."

"What are you doing?"

"I’m waiting for you."

The bathroom was steamy and hot. Xu Yirou sat in the bathtub, her milky white skin covered with fragrant bubbles. She scooped up a handful of bubbles with both hands and blew on them.

The tiny bubbles floated gently like dandelion seeds, some bursting, others landing on her nose, making the cub look even more adorable.

Several bright orange squeaky chickens floated on the water, squeaking loudly when squeezed, which Xu Yirou loved.

Taking a bath and playing with bubbles and squeezing toys, she was so happy.

Hearing her son's answer, she turned her head and her sweet, yet strong, voice rang out: "I know you're playing video games!"

He Nianzhu, who was outside, subconsciously covered his phone. He had already turned the volume down to the lowest setting, but his mother could still hear it.

Haha, what are you doing, little brother?

Xu Yirou piled the bubbles into the shape of poop, and one of the kids laughed loudly: "Because I have eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind, I know what bad things you've done."

He Nianzhu was busy organizing the group buy, and absentmindedly offered a couple of compliments.

Xu Yirou thought he didn't believe her, so she leaned over the edge of the bathtub, propped her chin on her hand, and said with a grin, "Erbao, you secretly wore Xiaobao's dress, didn't you?"

The sudden thunderclap made He Nianzhu's hand tremble.

— “First Blood!”

The phone screen went dark. He Nianzhu pressed her temples and denied it with righteous indignation, "I didn't."

"Denial is useless, I saw it all, it was the pink tutu I bought for Xiaobao." Xu Yirou remembered the three siblings' childhood better than anyone else. "Xiaobao liked little rabbits, so I embroidered a white little rabbit on the chest of the skirt. Xiaobao wore it to a singing competition and won first prize!"

[Huh?? Judging from what Rou Rou Baby said, Xiao Bao should be a girl... Wait, He Nianzhu is wearing women's clothes?!]

What the heck? I heard that Rou Rou can embroider, and she even embroidered a rabbit.

[Ladies in the front row, you heard me right! I heard it too! Whatever, production team, give us the go! We want to see the younger brother in women's clothing!]

At this moment, Xu Niancheng, who was silently waiting in the live broadcast room, was stunned.

She did have such a dress, with a lifelike white rabbit embroidered on the chest.

Did the second brother sneak through?

He's got something wrong with him.

Xu Niancheng got goosebumps all over, and then suddenly realized something. Oh no... Could my second brother have a cross-dressing fetish?

He Nianzhu was shocked by the cub's mother's memory. Wasn't it said that her intelligence and temperament had degenerated into those of a cub?

The mother of the cub remembered things so clearly that he himself had almost forgotten them, which puzzled He Nianzhu greatly.

He firmly shook his head in denial, refusing to admit that when he was just a little kid, he was blinded by envy and jealousy and deliberately pretended to be sick to skip school, just so he could secretly wear the tutu his mother had embroidered with little rabbits for his younger sister.

His sister wore it and won an award, so he wants to wear it to get good luck and win first place in the next competition to make his mother happy!

As for why he didn't just ask his mother to embroider little rabbits on his clothes...

He is a true man, and he has no interest in those cute little decorations. He wants to emulate his mature and steady older brother!

Xu Yirou hummed a little tune as she rinsed off the bubbles: "Don't panic, don't panic. Your brother Dabao also wore little dresses. I even took pictures of him. He was so cute!"

The employees of Senming Group: !!!

What?! Red bean paste? Their CEO wore a cute little skirt? Ahhhh, I want to see it!

Xu Niancheng: "..."

An image of her eldest brother, Xu Qingyan, with a cold expression, wearing a pink tutu, appeared uncontrollably in her mind, like a delicate flower.

Holy crap, Xu Niancheng was so scared she split her head open. That was terrifying!

How long has your older brother been like this?

Oh dear, how did I end up getting infected by my second brother?

Inside the hotel's presidential suite, Jiang Yan's upturned peach blossom eyes flashed with surprise, and a faint suspicion appeared on her face as she stared at him with a half-smile.

Bubble clapped her hands and cheered, then ran over to Xu Qingyan. Her big eyes sparkled as if she had discovered a kindred spirit: "Daddy, so you like wearing tutu skirts too!"

"..."

Xu Qingyan's forehead creased with three black lines: "Bubble, back then Dad was very young and didn't understand things. It was your grandma who dressed me on a whim."

Back then, Xu Qingyan was just a little baby who could only say "baba aba" all day long. She wore not only tutu skirts, but also an exaggerated little red bib.

The Red Boy costume was incredibly popular back then, and all three siblings were lucky enough to cosplay it. These old photos are now well preserved in an album.

"Daddy, can you wear it just once for Mommy and me to see?" Bubble asked in her sweet, childlike voice. "Mommy and I have never seen you in a dress before~"

Jiang Yan's smile deepened.

Xu Qingyan looked to Jiang Yan for help. Who would have thought that the man who appeared so composed and aloof to outsiders would also have a vulnerable side?

Jiang Yan, having had her fill of admiring the scene, calmly stepped in to defuse the situation: "Bubble, don't bully your dad."

Meanwhile, back home in Beijing, He Nianzhu's expression lit up. Forgetting her game, she asked the door, "Really? I've never heard of this before?"

"Hehe, Da Bao is getting shy now that he's grown up, so I kept it from you and Xiao Bao."

Where is the photo kept?

"I hid it in my room." Xu Yirou splashed water as she answered casually, "I take it out to look at Dabao when I miss him."

Some perceptive viewers noticed a subtle oddity: "I don't know why, but the more I watched, the stranger it felt; there was an inexplicable sense of unease."

He Nianzhu smiled smugly. Her older brother must be watching the live stream too. She wondered if he was scared.

After a while, He Nianzhu knocked on the door and urged Xu Yirou to stop playing in the water and finish washing up as soon as possible.

The bathroom door was pushed open.

The little dumpling, white, soft, and fragrant, emerged from its bath, wrapped in a children's bathrobe. Its cheeks were flushed pink from the steam, and the whole child looked as fresh and tender as a ripe peach.

【!! Ugh, what's the difference between this skin and a peeled egg?!】

[Oh my god, she's like a delicious jelly! So bouncy and juicy, I could slurp up ten in one go!]

Xu Yirou's hair was dripping wet, so He Nianzhu wrapped her head with a clean towel and then led her to the living room to dry her hair.

He Nianzhu's technique was clumsy, but it was gentle and patient.

[Maybe the younger brother should consider taking on a father or older brother role; he's too gentle~]

When it was He Nianzhu's turn to take a shower, the mother and son switched places. Xu Yirou, wearing a sky-blue princess nightgown, clung to the door, looking around curiously.

"Erbao, are you almost done washing?"

"Not yet, I just came in."

"Oh..." After two minutes, she asked again, "So now, are you almost done washing?"

He Nianzhu, who had just taken off her clothes, said: "The shower isn't even on yet, my little auntie."

This is a typical day for me and my daughter! We have to be quick when showering or using the toilet, otherwise my daughter will keep asking questions at the door.

[Hilarious! My younger brother experienced raising a child at the age of twenty.]

He Nianzhu had originally planned to take a hot bath, but given the current situation, he decided against it. He quickly rinsed himself off under the shower, dried himself off, and put on his clothes.

The moment the door opened, you were greeted with the feeling of a beautiful woman emerging from a bath.

He Nianzhu's jet-black hair was enveloped in a moist mist, which softened his sharp features, making him appear gentle and harmless. His light amber eyes were soft and bright, adding to his gentle and mild-mannered Japanese boyish charm.

Before the group of fans could get enough of his good looks, he scooped up the cub's mother like a bandit and ran towards the bedroom in a few quick steps.

Hsu Yi-jou & Audience: ?

"Let's go to sleep."

As she passed the camera, He Nianzhu raised her thick eyebrows and smiled slightly, saying, "That's all for today's live stream. Goodnight."

It's been broadcasting for thirteen hours since eight in the morning, it's time to end it.

As soon as the words were spoken, the live stream was turned off, and some viewers who were still engrossed in the live stream felt like they had forgotten something.

Everyone suddenly realized that it was He Nianzhu's photo in women's clothing!

That kid was in such a hurry to destroy the evidence; he was deliberately trying to avoid showing it to us, his audience.

This is outrageous!

Just as they expected, He Nianzhu smiled obsequiously and squatted down at the cub's mother's feet: "Mom, where did you put Big Brother's photos in women's clothing? I want to admire them too."

Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone!
