Chapter 6: This Doesn’t Quite Follow the Plot

Qin Youran picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and tasted it. The fresh, sweet flavor instantly filled her mouth.

The more delicious the food, the more alarmed she became!

She looked at the dignified and elegant Yan Yueqing before her who was so different from the timid female star she remembered…it was as if she was a completely different person?

She steadied her nerves and deliberately praised: “Yueqing, your culinary skills are amazing. You must have practiced a lot, right?”

Yan Yueqing, who was helping Tang Tang remove fish bones, smiled at her words, “It’s alright. I have a picky eater at home. If the food isn’t tasty, the little rascal won’t even bother to open his mouth.”

Her tone was full of doting affection.

Qin Youran turned pale with shock: “You’ve made it public?”

In her previous life, Yan Yueqing was terrified of others finding out she had a son. But now she openly admitted it?!

[What’s wrong with Sister Youran? She seems strange tonight.]

[Yeah, a normal person’s first reaction would be: ‘You have a son?!’ But Youran’s reaction is: ‘You announced it publicly?’]

What does this mean? It means that Yan Yueqing having a son is an open secret in the entertainment circle.]

[Should I say it or not…when Yan Yueqing mentioned her son, her expression was so doting!]

[+1, she looked so proud! If my mom could have that proud look when mentioning me, I could laugh for two years straight!]

Yan Yueqing was equally surprised by Qin Youran’s reaction.

Could it be that… everyone already knew she had a son?

Suddenly, she broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected, there are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

The original owner thought she had hidden her son well, but everyone already knew!

Fortunately, she went public first. Otherwise…

She nodded naturally: “Yes, my son is so cute. Why would I hide him?”

The smile on her lips appeared provocative to Qin Youran’s eyes.

This isn’t good!

The plot is deviating further and further!

What kind of reaction is this from Yan Yueqing?

A deep mother-son bond?

If they truly had a deep bond, why did she commit suicide by jumping into the sea over this in her previous life?

More importantly—

If she doesn’t die, how can I justifiably adopt Yan Wang?

Qin Youran tried to bring the plot back on track, “Yueqing, I heard you fell from a tree today. Shouldn’t you go to the hospital for a checkup?”

Yan Yueqing waved her hand dismissively: “No need.”

Qin Youran insisted, “You should still get checked out. I heard some people look fine after a fall but get abnormally excited due to internal bleeding!”

Tang Tang was so scared her chopsticks shook. “Sister Yueqing, let’s go to the hospital,” she pleaded.

“It’s really not necessary. it’s just a minor injury.”

“Just a minor injury?” Qin Youran exclaimed. “I heard you were unconscious for several minutes!” She continued to persuade her, “The nearest hospital is the City Hospital -the same one where Director Tang is filming his drama series. It’s a big hospital, so it should be more reassuring.”

[Oh! Qin Youran is a bit manipulative. Why mention the City Hospital specifically? Why emphasize that it’s the same hospital where Director Tang is filming? Is she afraid Yan Yueqing won’t rush over there?]

[Perhaps Yan Yueqing’s intentions are as clear as day to everyone?]

[I think Youran means well, constantly urging Yueqing to see a doctor. How kind. Are the haters in the comments overthinking things?]

[Little Princess Tang Tang’s face turned green! Hahaha, she finally let it go but someone brought it up again.]

Yan Yueqing could feel a chilly gaze on her back, and she knew without turning her head that it was Tang Tang’s resentful stare.

She spoke with righteousness, “Don’t worry, since you call me ‘sister’, I’ll call your dad ‘Uncle’!”
