Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 40.2

【Song Yuan and Yu Jin, that couple their tacit understanding is on another level compared to others.】

【Even couples don’t necessarily trust each other completely. Besides, with two Alphas, who would willingly submit to the other?】

【No way would that cowardly Yuan agree to be blindfolded. What if something happens to my precious Jin?】

【Ma Tianmeng and Yueyue seem to have great chemistry; they’ll probably do well.】

【Guess who’ll be blindfolded? I vote for that useless Yuan.】

【Whoever gets blindfolded is in for a tough time!】

While the audience chatted, each family was discussing their strategy.

Yueyue, who loves excitement and thrills, eagerly volunteered to be blindfolded. Once blindfolded, she spun around holding Bella, who giggled happily, creating a lively atmosphere.

Over on Wei Yang and Jian Xi’s side, a small argument seemed to break out. In the end, Wei Yang compromised, carrying Dian Dian to the front, but Dian Dian clung nervously to Wei Yang’s neck.

When Yu Jin stepped forward, the audience went wild.

【Oh my god, why is my goddess the one blindfolded! If she falls or gets hurt, I’ll be heartbroken!】

【Be careful, my dear! That useless Yuan actually pushed her out at the last moment so unreliable!】

【Yueyue and Tianmeng are so harmonious; they’re definitely going to win first place!】

【Being blindfolded while navigating obstacles and protecting the little one really tests the other person’s reflexes and ability.】

All three families changed into pants and gathered at the challenge site.

The staff were already in position.

As host Meng Yan Yan shouted “Begin!”, everyone rushed forward.

Yueyue had great stamina, carrying Bella without any difficulty.

Ma Tianmeng’s voice was gentle yet firm, always guiding Yueyue in time to dodge the water guns and balls coming from outside.

Though they stumbled a bit, their pace was steady, and they quickly took the lead.

Jian Xi’s voice was low, hoarse, and cold, every word carrying a commanding tone that Wei Yang couldn’t help but resist.

Meanwhile, Song Yuan’s voice was clear and bright. Though she didn’t speak much to avoid distracting Yu Jin, every reminder was followed by a gentle question: “A’Jin, are you okay? It’s fine if we lose safety first!”

Distracted, Wei Yang stepped on something soft, slipped, and ended up doing a full split.

“Jian Xi, why didn’t you warn me?” Wei Yang struggled to get up while holding Dian Dian.

But she couldn’t hand the child over that would mean disqualification.

Trying to hold the child with one hand and pull herself up with the other, she lost her balance, spinning comically in place and falling to last place.

On the other side, Ma Tianmeng and Yueyue worked well together, but Yueyue moved so quickly that sometimes, by the time Ma Tianmeng warned her, Yueyue had already stepped out, leaving Bella unprotected and getting hit by a water gun.

However, if other families also had their children hit by props, then Ma Tianmeng and Yueyue’s family, being the first to reach the finish line, would still secure first place.

The ten-meter distance wasn’t particularly long, but it wasn’t short either.

Song Yuan and Yu Jin were close behind, just half a meter away, when the staff poured water on the ground.

With only about two meters left, Song Yuan’s eyes lit up: “A’Jin, trust me! Run!”

“Song-jie, no! There’s water ahead taking too big a step will make you slip!” Ma Tianmeng called out a warning, telling Yueyue to slow down and walk carefully.

Yu Jin hesitated for a moment but then strode forward without hesitation.

Viewers held their breath, eyes glued to the screen.

Then, they watched as Song Yuan threw herself forward, sliding across the ground and wiping the water clean.

Thanks to Yu Jin’s unwavering trust in Song Yuan, she strode forward confidently and was the first to reach the finish line.

Along the way, Song Yuan spread her arms like an eagle, shielding Yu Jin and Luoluo. Although Yu Jin’s hair got a little wet from the water guns, Luoluo remained completely untouched.

[What
Did I just witness a human mop?]

[The posture was comical, but the result was impressive.]

[Haha, wow, Song Yuan really doesn’t care about her image, does she?]

[Jin Jin trusts Song Yuan so much, I’m jealous!]

[Oh my gosh, the trust between them is absolute. They totally deserve first place.]

[That move was wild! Her elbows must be scraped raw… Song Yuan is something else!]

As expected, upon reaching the finish line, Yu Jin immediately set Luoluo down, removed her blindfold, and helped Song Yuan up.

Pursing her lips, her gaze icy, Yu Jin said, “Didn’t you say it didn’t matter if we weren’t first? Why were you so reckless?”

“It’s fine if I’m the one who ends up a mess,” Song Yuan replied, standing up and rubbing her elbow with a radiant smile. “You’re too proud, you’d be upset if we lost. I didn’t want you to lose!”

[“I didn’t want you to lose”, so touching! Who cares about the rumors? As long as she treats Jin Jin well, we approve.]

[Was wiping the floor with her clothes really effective? That seems fake.]

[It’s not cheating.]

[How is it cheating? She was just protecting her partner, not breaking any rules.]

Amid the barrage of comments, Yueyue and Ma Tianmeng safely reached the finish line in second place.

Ma Tianmeng quietly told Yueyue about Song Yuan’s heroic act and Yueyue’s eyes widened in amazement. “Sister Yuan is incredible! Only she would go to such lengths to protect others without worrying about her image.”

Yueyue recalled a time on set when she was unhappy with a revealing outfit. Only Song Yuan had stood up for her, arguing with the costume designer until they allowed her to use camera angles to complete the shoot.

Everyone had their reasons for liking Song Yuan. Though she had plenty of negative press, those who truly knew her never spoke ill of her except for Wei Yang!

Wei Yang had stumbled in the final stretch, soaking her pants and accidentally dropping Dian Dian. By the time she barely made it to the finish line, her face was dark with anger.

Hearing about Song Yuan’s actions from Ma Tianmeng and Yueyue only fueled her rage. Already frustrated from being repeatedly criticized on the show, she lashed out uncontrollably:

“Others can protect their partners and kids perfectly. What about you? You couldn’t even bend down to help me up! I regret partnering with you.”

“Hah,” Jian Xi retorted sharply, never one to take insults lying down. “If I picked you up, wouldn’t that just encourage your twisted thinking? Throwing a tantrum over a loss who spoiled you like this?”

“Then why didn’t you let me wear the blindfold? If you can’t guide properly, why should I suffer? You care about your image, do you think I don’t care about mine?” Wei Yang’s voice grew louder. “If you didn’t want to be my partner, you should’ve asked to switch. Why make things difficult for me?”

Annoyed by the argument but mindful of the cameras, Jian Xi replied coldly, “Winning and losing are part of the game. There’s always a first place and a last place. You should focus on controlling your emotions instead of embarrassing yourself on national TV.”

“Embarrassing myself? What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?”

“Take it however you want.”

“You’re the one who messed up! Why are you blaming me?”

Their voices grew louder and more heated.

Dian Dian, who had already been thrown aside with her arms and legs aching from the fall and was now completely drenched, couldn’t hold back any longer and began crying out of fear.

Seeing this, Luoluo clenched her little fists, stepped forward, and gave Dian Dian a hug. “It’s okay, Dian Dian. My mommies argue sometimes too, but once they clear up the misunderstanding, everything gets better.”

Dian Dian cried even louder.

At a loss, Luoluo reached out and tugged on Jian Xi’s sleeve.

She didn’t pull Wei Yang because she instinctively felt Wei Yang was more unpleasant.

“Auntie Jian Xi, can you please stop arguing? When mommies argue, it’s the children who feel the worst. Kids who love their mommies never want to see them angry.”

[Wow, Luoluo is so sweet! My heart is completely melted!]

[This is the kind of content that makes me want to have kids!]

[These two adults aren’t as clear-headed as a child. When adults argue, it’s the children who suffer the most.]

[Hug Dian Dian, don’t cry, Dian Dian.]

[Win or lose, it’s not a big deal. If you can’t control your emotions, I’m unfollowing you right now.]

[I have to say, that scumbag Yuan raised her child really well.]

[You can tell Luoluo grew up surrounded by love. Mu Jin and Yuan Wei forever, I’m totally shipping them!]

[Luoluo, little angel, warming Dian Dian’s heart and all children who love their parents.]

[Let’s team up and take Luoluo, our little angel, away!]

[Luoluo hugged Dian Dian and got her clothes dirty. Send both of them to me, I’ll take care of them!]

[Hey, upstairs, even aliens can hear your ulterior motives!]

Outside the show, viewers couldn’t stop praising Luoluo, the little angel.

Inside the show, Jian Xi was taken aback.

She didn’t particularly like Song Yuan or Yu Jin, but such a sensible child softened her heart.

She nodded sullenly. “Okay, I’ll shut up.”

Only then did Wei Yang realize what she had just done!

She felt remorseful but helpless she couldn’t let herself be outdone by a child.

Belatedly, she crouched down and hugged Dian Dian. “I’m sorry, Dian Dian. I was wrong. I lost and felt upset, and I couldn’t control my emotions. Thank you for worrying about me. I promise that for the rest of the show, whether I win or lose, I won’t lose my temper again. Can you forgive me?”

Children cry when scolded and smile when given candy.

Seeing Wei Yang crouch down to wipe her face and apologize, Dian Dian finally stopped crying, sniffling as she stretched out her hand. “Pinky promise…”

Wei Yang hooked her finger with Dian Dian’s.

Although she had managed to calm Dian Dian down, Wei Yang knew her earlier outburst had likely already been broadcast, and it probably damaged her reputation. Her expression remained gloomy.

The drama came to an end.

Meng Yan Yan led everyone to choose their rooms.

Room three was skipped directly, and they moved on to the second room.

Luoluo, who loved colorful things, curiously looked around inside.

At that moment, Bella ran in excitedly and cheered, “Wow, wow, wow! It’s so pretty, just as pretty as what Yueyue’s mommy wears! Yueyue’s mommy, do you like this room the most?”

Yueyue felt a bit awkward. “Well, Luoluo’s family came in first. Let them choose first.”

“So, Yueyue’s mommy does like it!” Bella giggled, swinging her pigtails, then turned to Luoluo. “Luoluo, even though you got first place, you haven’t made your final choice yet, right? Yueyue’s mommy really likes this room… How about we go check out room one first? If that one is nice too, could you let us have this one?”

“Bella, you can’t do that.” Yueyue quickly stopped her. “It’s against the rules.”

“It’s fine, Aunt Yueyue.” Luoluo smiled sweetly. “Mommy prefers more understated styles. Though the bright colors here are pretty, they probably don’t match Mommy’s…”

She suddenly couldn’t find the right word was it taste or preference?
