The Salted Fish Transmigrates as a Wealthy Stepdad and Goes Viral on a Parenting Variety Show - Chapter 15

Around seven in the morning, Gu Wancheng was curled into Bo Yizhou’s embrace, clinging to him like an octopus. He woke up in a daze, glanced at the time, and took a moment to process things before gently moving the hand draped over his waist.

While washing up in the bathroom, Bo Yizhou opened his eyes to look at him once before closing them again.

While brushing his teeth, Gu Wancheng thought absentmindedly that the production team was supposed to arrive around six. This meant they had been waiting for nearly an hour.

He finished washing up quickly, changed his clothes, and quietly stepped out of the room.

The butler appeared out of nowhere again, looking disapproving. “Mr. Gu, waking up so early will make you tired.”

Gu Wancheng’s lip twitched. He always felt like the butler treated him like a child. “It is fine. I went to bed quite early yesterday. Have they arrived?”

“They are currently in the backyard. Do you need me to call them over?”

Gu Wancheng shook his head. “I will go take a look.”

Halfway there, he ran into Xiaoyu, who was carrying a tray toward the backyard.

“Good morning, Mr. Gu.”

“Good morning. Are you going to the backyard?”

“Yes, I have prepared some tea for the guests.”

“I will go with you.”

“Alright.” Xiaoyu took a step back, not walking side-by-side with Gu Wancheng.

Gu Wancheng did not say anything about it.

As they neared the area, Xiaoyu glanced at him. Gu Wancheng nodded slightly, and Xiaoyu spoke up: “Everyone.”

[It is Miss Xiaoyu! Quickly, turn the camera back!]

The camera turned, and the bullet comments were instantly shocked.

[Wait! I will just say it, hi wifey!]

[Clearly she is my wife.]

[That is enough. Why are you calling my wife “wifey”? Do you not have your own wives?]

[The person above, that is also enough.]

[Move aside, I can tell at a glance that this is my wife.]

[Enough, you guys. This must be that commoner guest.]

[Wait!]

[My wife has a husband?]

[It is fine. The four of us living a good life together is more important than anything.]

[Wait!]

The photographer froze. The person approaching had an exquisite face, delicate fair skin, and a tear mole at the corner of his eye that caught everyone’s attention. His peach blossom eyes curved slightly, radiating a strong sense of a devoted spouse.

He was currently looking at them with a smile. “Hello, everyone. I am Gu Wancheng.”

“Hello, Mr. Gu. You can call me Xiao Liu, and him Xiao Zhang.”

Gu Wancheng nodded. “Do any of you have dietary restrictions? I will have someone prepare breakfast.”

Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhang immediately said, “We eat anything. No restrictions.”

[A day where I want to soul-possess the photographer.]

[I also want to eat a luxurious breakfast.]

[Envious, so envious.]

[Does anyone still remember that bet?]

[Oh no, I lost the bet.]

[I won, hahaha!]

For a moment, the bullet comments were filled with both joy and sorrow, with some people just enjoying the chaos.

Outside the stream, Chen Liqing was extremely satisfied. Looking at Gu Wancheng, he felt more and more that the man was his lucky star.

“May we film your child?”

“Yes, just do not wake him up.”

“Of course, of course.”

Xiaoyu had already gone to have breakfast prepared. Gu Wancheng led them to Chaochao’s room alone. Chaochao had not slept with them today specifically because Bo Yizhou was sleeping at home. If they filmed Chaochao’s sleeping face, they would definitely see Bo Yizhou.

That was not the result he wanted, so he had made a deal with Chaochao last night to let him sleep by himself.

Without Chaochao acting as a buffer, he thought he would be uncomfortable, but it turned out to be fine. However, his own sleeping posture was not very well-behaved. Thinking about how they were hugging when he woke up, Gu Wancheng felt a delayed wave of embarrassment.

Arriving at Chaochao’s room, the camera quietly approached the curly-haired tot. Chaochao was sleeping soundly, his little mouth smacking occasionally as if he were dreaming of something delicious.

[The little one is so cute.]

[Clutching heart.]

[Is the baby dreaming of good food?]

[A curly-haired tot is just an angel, right?]

[What color of sack do you like? Say it, and Auntie will go buy it.]

[The father and son’s looks and family background are both so good. God, do you dare to share a little bit with me?]

[Same as above, share some with me too. Sometimes I really laugh at how poor I am.]

“I will let him introduce himself when he wakes up. I will not do it for him,” Gu Wancheng said to the camera.

[Wifey, I understand.]

[Is the person above shameless? Who is your wifey?]

[What is it to you?]

Gu Wancheng, unaware of the conflict in the bullet comments, remained composed.

Inside the Guanhe neighborhood, Jiang Yu was in the bathroom looking at his phone with a gloomy expression. The screen displayed Gu Wancheng’s livestream.

Looking at that peach-blossom-like face on the screen, he gritted his teeth. He had not expected this commoner to look like this, let alone be so much better looking than him. Thinking of his own somewhat plain face after removing makeup, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

As far as he knew, there was no one with the surname Gu in Jiangyue Bay. Perhaps he had latched onto some old woman or old man.

He switched screens, operated his phone for a bit, then looked in the mirror. He adjusted his expression until he looked like a harmless little white rabbit before walking out.

At the same time, a crowd of people suddenly flooded into Gu Wancheng’s livestream.

[There does not seem to be anyone named Gu in Jiangyue Bay, so why is he there?]

[Could he have latched onto some rich person?]

[That face looks like a fox spirit’s at first glance.]

[So disgusting.]

[Showing his face so openly, he better be careful not to let the original spouse see.]

[This face looks like a mistress’s. Not nearly as pleasant to look at as Jiang Yu.]

Rows of bullet comments drifted by, clearly from haters. The original audience was instantly enraged.

[How bold! Where did these dogs come from?]

[What a joke. The resident information of Jiangyue Bay is never made public. May I ask where you got your information?]

[Not as good as Jiang Yu? I think you are blind. Jiang Yu is your idol, right?]

[He does not look as good as someone else, so you smear them behind their back. I think your idol latched onto someone rich, so he assumes everyone is like him.]

[What nonsense are you talking? Jiang Yu is not that kind of person.]

[You were the one talking nonsense first, idiot.]

[Who are you calling an idiot?]

Immediately, a war broke out in the comments. In the end, Gu Wancheng and Chaochao’s fans held the upper hand, wiping out the paid trolls and successfully sending Jiang Yu to the trending searches.

“Sorry, I need to take a call.”

Jiang Yu walked into the bathroom before answering the phone.

Li Jie’s voice came through. “What did you do? You are on the trending searches.”

“Why must you act on your own? I will help you suppress it. I hope you can use your brain next time.”

With that, Li Jie hung up. Jiang Yu was scolded relentlessly. Once he snapped out of it, he checked the trending searches with a dark face.

The trending topic was glaringly obvious. Clicking into it, a flash of resentment appeared in his eyes. What a bunch of useless trash. If you are going to attack someone, just attack them. Why mention me? Does that not just tell everyone they are my fans? Useless.

Gu Wancheng did not know his fans had nearly driven Jiang Yu mad. He was currently asking Xiaoyu to accompany Xiao Liu and the others while he returned to his room.

As the sound of footsteps approached the room, Bo Yizhou closed his phone and lay on the bed, waiting for him to enter.
