Chapter 40: Yan Wang’s Army of Fans (Next Week’s Big Update)

[Oh my god, it’s Yan Yueqing’s son!]

[The side profile on Weibo was already stunning! Who knew the full face would be even more breathtaking?!]

[Mama mia, how am I seeing words like “melancholic” and “handsome” on a little kid’s face?!!!]

[Good morning, sweetheart! Auntie wants to give you a big hug ^O^]

[Thank goodness I didn’t oversleep! I caught the livestream and didn’t miss this little cutie!!!]

Che Ting has been in the entertainment industry for years and has seen more celebrities than there were grains of rice in a supermarket! Yet, the moment she saw Yan Wang, she was momentarily stunned.

Yan Wang noticed the bright camera lens pointed at him and lowered his long eyelashes indifferently. After pressing a switch on the armrest, his wheelchair slowly rolled back, creating a path for them to enter.

It wasn’t until then that everyone snapped out of their trance, their gazes inevitably drawn to his legs.

He wore soft, loose-fitting casual clothes, with pants long enough to cover his ankles.

The boy before them was thinner than most children his age, resembling a porcelain doll^[1]“瓷娃娃” (porcelain doll) – Metaphor for someone delicate, fragile, and beautiful., exuding a delicate beauty that seemed as if it might shatter with the slightest touch.

Che Ting’s heart instantly ached. “Are you Yan Yueqing’s son, Yan Wang?”

Yan Wang didn’t speak, calmly maneuvering the electric wheelchair further back, his small face tense and expressionless.

He clearly had no interest in interacting with anyone!

The livestream comments mirrored Che Ting’s reaction:

[Shoot! Such a beautiful little boy is in a wheelchair? Heaven, do you even know what you’re doing?]

[No wonder Yan Yueqing never revealed her son before. She must have wanted to protect him from being disturbed.]

[Wuwuwu, this little darling reminds me of Ouyang Mingri from the Four Beauties of Tianya^[2]“天涯四美” – “Four Beauties of Tianya,” referring to four legendary handsome men in Chinese internet culture., a miniature version of a frail beauty.]

[Wasn’t there talk of a mysterious person living with Yan Yueqing? Could it be that she’s invited her son to join the show this time?]

[Whoa, I suddenly feel physically sick! Her son’s in a wheelchair, and she’s still bringing him on the show to make money? Is she planning to use her son to clean up her image?]

[Look at Yan Wang’s cold expression, like he has no emotions at all! This must be the result of Yan Yueqing not taking proper care of him!]

[I’m taking little Wangwang baby away with me! You guys can keep criticizing Yan Yueqing! How does she deserve such a wonderful son?!]

Seeing that Yan Wang was unwilling to communicate, Che Ting felt both saddened and distressed.

Their crew had been working with Yan Yueqing since the first episode.

They had initially looked down on her because of her fawning behavior toward Tang Tang. However, after she fell from the tree in the last episode, she seemed like a completely different person, becoming increasingly likable!

Especially after they received gifts from Yan Yueqing, their opinions of her had risen to a whole new level.

Some crew members were skeptical and secretly had the bags authenticated. The results were unanimous—they were genuine LV bags!

Not only were they authentic, but they were also incredibly expensive, even more so than what those show-off internet celebrity streamers could get their hands on.

When you receive favors, you’re inclined to return them.

For this episode’s recording, everyone decided to treat this “cash cow” like royalty! The cameraman and assistant even stayed up late to draw several storyboards, hoping to capture Yan Yueqing in the most flattering light possible.

And then…

They met Yan Wang.

Yan Yueqing, who was so attentive to Tang Tang outside, was raising a son at home who seemed completely disconnected from society??? The contrast was just too shocking.

Che Ting, also a mother, initially wanted to speak up for Yan Yueqing but suddenly felt a surge of anger.

Just as she was about to say something, a voice came from the master bedroom: “Baobao, have you seen Mommy’s hair tie?”

At the sound of her voice, the frozen expression on Yan Wang’s little face softened slightly.

Then, under the bright lights of the camera, he…

Stood up from his wheelchair???!!!
