Chapter 36: Mom, I Want to Join the Show (3)

She lowered her head, meeting Yan Wang’s slightly raised eyes.

Those clear, boundless eyes seemed to see through everything, exuding an ethereal calmness like a serene lake.

Facing her son, Yan Yueqing refrained from making assumptions and replied politely, “Tang Tang, regarding the guest appearance, it really depends on what he thinks. If he doesn’t want to, then we should let it go.”

Tang Tang responded with a soft, disappointed “Oh,” her tone like that of a little lamb: “I hope he wants to come and play. There are lots of brothers and sisters in the show. He’ll definitely have a great time.”

These words struck a chord with Yan Yueqing.

Since his birth, her son had interacted with a very limited group of people, lacking any playmates his own age.

If this continued, it could easily lead to psychological issues for the young child! However, there were many children in the show, and even more adults! Throwing her socially isolated son into such a group felt a bit like forcing an introvert into a crowd to socialize.

Sigh…

Her son didn’t even seem to fully accept her as his mother, let alone going to the show? Yan Yueqing decided to discuss this matter with him later.

Yan Wang’s dark eyes, beneath his messy hair, suddenly dimmed.

He recognized that voice from earlier.

It was Tang Tang, who was in the same show as his mother…

After searching for “National Parents,” he had watched all the live broadcast replays without missing a single episode. His mother’s favoritism towards Tang Tang in the footage made him insanely jealous!!!

So his usually cold and indifferent mother, who wasn’t even willing to come back and look at him, could actually be so kind to someone else?

Yan Wang wondered, ‘Is it because I’m not as cute as Tang Tang, or not as well-behaved and sensible as her?’

Moreover…

The reason his mother revealed his existence was also to explain to Tang Tang that she wasn’t intentionally clinging to her.

Yan Wang’s silence was deafening.

That jealousy and resentment filled his entire chest, making him extremely uncomfortable!

Yan Yueqing noticed her son’s gloomy expression and stopped walking: “Are you tired from walking? Do you want mommy to carry you?”

Yan Wang pouted, not answering.

He wanted to ask why his mother didn’t agree to let him join the show.

She had told Tang Tang she would ask for his opinion, but when facing him, she didn’t even bring it up.

Could it be… she thought he wasn’t presentable enough? That made sense…

He was sickly and didn’t like to socialize. How could he be as lively and cute as the other children?

Thinking of this, Yan Wang suddenly turned pale and coughed violently twice.

“What’s wrong, baobao?” Yan Yueqing immediately crouched down, gently patting her son’s back. “Where are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Yan Wang lightly pushed away her hand.

Under his cool gaze was a faint detachment…

Yan Yueqing was deeply concerned: “If you’re not feeling well, let’s not go see the house now. How about we go back early to rest?” Then she sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry, you just got out of the hospital, and we’ve walked such a long distance. It’s my fault for not taking better care of you…”

The anxiety and concern in her eyes didn’t seem fake.

Yan Wang couldn’t understand…

What exactly… did she want from him?

After a moment of silence, the little one raised his hand, pointing to the nearby sales office.

Yan Yueqing understood. Her son still wanted to finalize the house purchase first!

Her expression was both gentle and worried: “We’ll do as you wish! But, baobao, if you feel unwell anywhere, tell mommy immediately, okay?”

Yan Wang nodded numbly.

Of course he wasn’t feeling well!

If mom understood, she would have agreed to let him join the show earlier, then he would surely feel better than anyone else! After all, there was a Tang Tang in the show… She just didn’t want him to go…

Yan Wang’s eyes dimmed even more.

Lishui Jiangling, an extremely luxurious residential area in C City, was evaluated as a high-end neighborhood comparable to small Tangchen.

It was in a good location, had a beautiful scenery, and complete facilities.

The only deterrent was the price!

Designed as large apartments, yet priced like villas.

Ordinary people couldn’t afford it, and the wealthy could buy a small estate by adding a little more, making it seemingly unnecessary.

However, for some unknown reason, the housing prices in Lishui Jiangling remained consistently high.

From the moment Yan Yueqing decided to buy a house, she had already determined her positioning.

A villa would be too spacious for just mother and son.

High-rise elevator apartments might be lively, but noisy neighbors could easily disturb her son’s rest.

After much consideration, the large apartments in Lishui seemed to be the best choice.

Single floor, elevator access, good soundproofing, and most importantly – close to Ren’ai Hospital!

If her son felt unwell, it would only take three minutes to drive to the hospital, within the golden time!

As soon as they entered the sales office, a saleswoman approached with a smile. Before she could finish her welcome, Yan Yueqing quickly stated her requirements: “Mid to high floor, fully furnished, ready to move in. The living room should face Lishui, and it should be in a quiet unit.”

The saleswoman was stunned for two seconds!

Is this buying a house? It sounds more like buying vegetables!

Seeing no response, Yan Yueqing frowned: “Don’t you have any?”

The saleswoman snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, we do. Please come this way.”

Yan Yueqing didn’t want to waste time: “Recommend a few options based on my requirements, preferably ones we can go see the actual houses right away.”

The saleswoman understood that this customer had already done her research and clearly had a strong intention to buy! She then showed a genuine smile.

“We have several units matching your requirements, but they’re a bit far. I see the little one seems tired. Why don’t you sit for a while, and I’ll bring the actual floor plans? If you like any, we can visit the units afterward.”

Yan Yueqing, concerned for her son, nodded in agreement: “Alright.”

The three sat down, and the saleswoman efficiently brought out a tablet, introducing the suitable units to the mother and son.

After asking for Yan Wang’s opinion, she quickly chose a unit with a first-line river view.

When they went to see the actual house, they found suspended ceilings, elegant wallpaper throughout, clean and spacious wooden floors, and all kinds of furniture fully equipped.

“The interior design of this house focuses on parent-child warmth, using light blue and cream as the main color scheme. All furniture is integrated to avoid risks of loosening or falling apart… Soft carpets are laid in the living room and bedrooms, so even if children like to run around barefoot, they won’t catch a cold.”

The saleswoman knew her job well. Seeing the mother and son come to buy a house, and noticing Yan Yueqing constantly asking for the little one’s opinion, she focused on emphasizing the “parent-child” aspect in her sales pitch.

Yan Yueqing, holding her son, worried he might think she wasn’t being thoughtful enough, explained: “Actually, mommy should buy an unfurnished house and design everything according to your preferences, from the decoration to the layout. But that would take too long! I want to live with you sooner, so we’ll buy this one as a temporary home. When we have time, we can choose a new house and decorate it slowly, okay?”

Live with him… sooner? Yan Wang’s dull eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy.

Meanwhile, the saleswoman was completely shocked.

Hello? Are all rich people this extravagant? Buying a house in Lishui Jiangling as a temporary home????

Seeing that Yan Wang didn’t object, Yan Yueqing directly said: “We’ll take this one. Put it in my son’s name only, I’ll pay by card!”
