Chapter 64
Uh, wait a minute, a mother and daughter?
Viewers off-camera practically peered into the screen, their eyes glued to Bubble.
[Holy crap, they just announced they had a daughter, and the next second her appeared in the live stream! The paparazzi must be crying their eyes out, hahaha.]
Wow, she's practically a chibi version of Jiang Yan! Is she a one-to-one replica? Her features are absolutely stunning!
[Is Yan Yan considering taking her baby on a children's variety show? I really want to see it! Can we get more screen time for Yan Yan and her baby? I want to see their interactions!]
[The live stream is so lively! With Qiao Wen and Xu Qingyan here, it feels like watching a finance channel, haha!]
At this moment, photographer Xiao Chen only wished he had eight hands. The entire production team hadn't expected Xu Qingyan and Jiang Yan to come. If they had known in advance, they would have sent two photographers to accompany them.
Xiao Chen kept hearing director Chang Yi's excited voice through his earpiece: "Give Jiang Yan and her daughter more screen time!"
"Pull the camera back and see what He Nianzhu and Xu Qingyan are saying!"
"Don't forget Qiao Wen's place either."
"Hey, quickly film the two kids, this is a children's variety show."
Xiao Chen was sweating profusely from the work, but he couldn't express his frustration: ...
Director, I only have two hands and a camera. If I want to capture everything, I can only shoot a long shot.
Meanwhile, several paparazzi who had been staking out Jiang Yan's vicinity and taking numerous sensational photos nearly fainted from anger.
They had heard from the crew that there was a mysterious little girl next to Jiang Yan, and after going through great lengths to sneak in and take a few pictures, they were just about to release them today when the person in question revealed it herself!
Isn't this high-definition live stream video more popular than his blurry, voyeuristic candid shots?
"Master, didn't we also get some juicy footage?" the younger paparazzi cautiously suggested to the older paparazzi, clutching his camera. "Why don't we release it all at once before they announce it?"
The old paparazzi pondered for a while, then turned around with his hands behind his back and shook his head: "Do you think I don't want to? We're not the only media outlets that photographed them going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but have you seen them make a move?"
"Xu Qingyan is no ordinary person. He has a complex and deeply rooted network of forces behind him. We can only wait for him to make the announcement himself and then slowly release some materials."
The paparazzi looked disappointed and said sullenly, "Then all the things we worked so hard to film will be useless."
He didn't get a good night's sleep for several days in order to take those photos.
The old paparazzi gave him a deep look and said in a deep voice, "Wait and keep an eye on the live broadcast. Once the news of the marriage certificate is released, we must be the first to release the photo of the couple at the Civil Affairs Bureau before any other media outlets."
Over there, Bubble and Xu Yirou were chatting enthusiastically on the doorstep: "Bubble, when did you and Dabao get back?"
"We came back last night." Bubble was always completely open with her great-grandmother, her little face beaming. "Guess what we came back for?"
"You must have missed me, so you came back to see me on your own."
Bubble, who was half a head taller than Xu Yirou, affectionately linked her arm with hers: "Rabbit, we're so in sync~"
What is in the heart? I don't understand.
The young grandmother was confused and touched her very new head.
Bubble pouted her little mouth and whispered in my ear, "Sweetie, I'm telling you this in secret, but don't tell anyone else, okay? My mom and dad are coming back to get their marriage certificate."
The two little ones were whispering to each other, thinking no one could hear them. Little did they know that Xu Yirou and He Nianzhu were carrying a small recording device for the sake of a good live broadcast.
He Nianzhu knew how to turn it on and off, but Xu Yirou did not, so everyone in the live broadcast room could hear the two cubs' whispers clearly.
"A marriage certificate?" Xu Yirou vaguely remembered it. "Did they get married?"
Bubble, the 5G surfing baby, nodded solemnly: "That's right, Mom and Dad got married. They each have a red booklet, all smooth and bright red. I want to touch it, but they won't let me. Humph, so stingy."
Oh dear, she has a real goose wife now.
Xu Yirou was overjoyed, her cherry-like mouth agape with happiness, revealing her neat white teeth, "That's wonderful, I have a goose wife now."
Then she comforted her granddaughter, saying, "Bubble, don't be sad. You can touch my little red book from now on, however you want."
Bubble was clearly taken aback: "Meatball, are you going to get pregnant in the future?"
"Yes!" Four-year-old Xu Yirou didn't know the meaning of marriage, nor did she understand why people got married. "Little kids all get married when they grow up."
Bubble had watched countless melodramatic dramas, and every finale featured a scene of the male and female leads getting married and kissing. Naturally, she imagined her grandmother getting married to a boy.
In an instant, the whole kid was in a bad mood, as if a few small dark clouds were floating overhead.
"Then let's get married!"
"...Ah, us?"
"yes."
Xu Yirou paused, a hint of hesitation appearing on her childish face: "N-no, is that alright?"
Bubble: "Why not? Meatball, don't you like me?"
Xu Yirou shook her head vigorously and said, "I love Bubble the most! Bubble and I are the best of friends in the world!"
Just as expected, Bubble's upturned lips were hard to suppress, and she said confidently, "That's it! I like Rou Rou, and Rou Rou likes me, so of course we can get married when we grow up!"
The innocent and childlike words filled the live chat with a joyful atmosphere.
Hahaha, the world of babies is so cute; everything they see is full of childlike wonder.
[Oh no, I'm totally hooked on Bubble Baby right away!]
【Although, babies, you're from different generations.】
[Isn't the main point that Jiang Yan and Xu Qingyan just got their marriage certificate today? Aren't you guys missing the point?]
Xu Yirou was silent for a moment, then shook her head honestly: "No, Bubble, we can't get pregnant."
Bubble panicked and asked anxiously, "Why, Rou Rou? Don't you like me anymore?"
"because--"
"I'm your great-aunt."
Xu Yirou puffed out her cheeks and sighed, mimicking the tone of a melodramatic heroine, "We're destined to have no future together, let's just let each other go."
"..."
[6.]
[Little grandma? Hahaha, playing immersive pretend, huh?]
Bubble was unwilling to give up, and asked aggrievedly, "Then, then who do you want to marry?"
"I don't know." Xu Yirou shook her head honestly, her eyes shining. "But he must be a very handsome boy."
Bubble suddenly remembered something important she had forgotten. She held back her tears and said, "Grandma, don't worry. When I grow up and have money, I will definitely buy you lots of handsome boys and let them marry you."
Xu Yirou: "!!!"
Really?
"Yes, really! I swear."
"Bubble, you're so good to me QAQ" Grandma Baby was so touched that she leaned shyly against Bubble's shoulder. "Then it has to be super pretty, I don't want it if it's not pretty."
Bubble nodded solemnly, establishing the direction for her future efforts.

Before they even officially became relatives, He Nianzhu felt an immediate connection with Paopao, finding the little girl soft, sweet, and charming. Who would have thought Paopao was his niece? It was truly a predestined fate.
So naturally, Xu Yirou and Paopao were the only two cubs he liked.
Seeing the two cubs whispering intimately, He Nianzhu became interested and, taking advantage of her height, openly and normally eavesdropped.
This incredibly handsome young man was laughing so hard his teeth were showing throughout the entire broadcast. In just one short episode, he provided netizens with countless meme-worthy expressions, while his manager, Brother Wen, was already utterly dejected.
He's tired of saying "pay attention to facial expression management"!
As an actress, He Nianzhu pays great attention to her voice, stage presence, and physical expression. Hearing the young boy keep using the word "jiefen" made her feel uncomfortable.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two kids were being affectionate, I finally got the chance to correct their pronunciation through words and actions.
"Grandma, Bubble." He Nianzhu brazenly squeezed into the middle of the cubs, smiling and guiding them, "Come on, repeat after me, get married."
Bubble & Xu Yirou: Confused (image).
He Nianzhu sculpted one child in each hand, their dough-like texture making them irresistible.
He smiled and said, "Quickly, repeat after me: 'We're getting married.'"
A smile that could launch a thousand ships.
Bubble: Wow ovo
The Demon Lord's uncle is so handsome!
Okay, let's give Uncle a little face. Bubble obediently opened her mouth: "Jiefen~"
"It's a wedding, pronounced like the word 'drink'."
"Jie~hong~"
He Nianzhu patiently replied, "It's not 'getting together,' it's 'getting married.'"
Strange, where did these two native northern kids get their southern accents?
[Aaaaaaah, my little brother said he wants to marry me!!!]
[Get married! Get married right here! Get married right now! I'll ride my camel over right away!]
【Ha, a camel? Then I'll ride a panda! Nobody can take it from me!】
Xu Yirou exclaimed and pulled Paopao away, saying, "Erbao, stop reading. Nobody's going to talk to you. Wake up."
He Nianzhu: ?
Absurd! Outrageous!
How could he be unwanted? Impossible. He just doesn't have the time or the desire to talk about it.
He Nianzhu felt he should save face, so he quickly called out to the cub's mother, "Grandma, please look at my face and say it again."
His handsome face, hailed as a masterpiece by fans, was magnified on the screen at just the right moment.
If I remember correctly, He Nianzhu seems to be one of the few celebrities online who doesn't have any unflattering photos?
[You were right, my younger brother is incredibly handsome even without makeup, good-looking from every angle. His looks have been praised by even foreign media outlets that prefer unedited photos!]
However, one becomes accustomed to the fragrance of orchids in a room for a long time and no longer notices it.
Even if a mother has been looking at her own son for twenty years, no matter how handsome he is, he's less attractive than a lollipop in front of his biological mother, Xu Yirou.
"Erbao, stop being so vain and eat more." Xu Yirou said earnestly and mercilessly, "Look at you, you look like a tree branch that has come to life."
He Nianzhu was only twenty years old. Even though he had a habit of exercising, he still looked a bit thin and frail, like a young man. Standing next to Xu Qingyan, who was five years older than him, he looked much more delicate.
Deeply shocked, He Nianzhu stared wide-eyed, looking herself up and down in disbelief.
He... was disliked by his mother?
He Nianzhu was going crazy: "Grandma, I'm not some delicate weakling, I'm strong! Don't let my skinny appearance fool you, I'm actually a tough guy!"
"You won't believe me, just look!"
Eager to prove herself, He Nianzhu looked around, her eyes lighting up. She patted her older brother Xu Qingyan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I need your help."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qingyan's alarm went off. His audacious and foolish younger brother stretched out his long arm, gritted his teeth, held his breath, and grabbed his upright older brother horizontally, lifting him up like a barbell.
Xu Qingyan, who suddenly leaped into the air: "!!!"
He forcefully suppressed the urge to swear, clenched his fist, and stiffly turned his head.
Feeling his older brother's almost murderous gaze, He Nianzhu's scalp tightened, and he blurted out without thinking, "Brother, you're quite... quite heavy."
Xu Qingyan's face turned ashen.
Xu Yirou, Paopao, Jiang Yan, and Qiao Wen were dumbfounded.
"...Erbao, are you out of your mind?" Xu Yirou stammered.
"Uncle, is something on your mind?" Bubble murmured.
He Nianzhu: "".
If I say no, would you believe me?
