Chapter 201: Wouldn’t It Be Exposed If He Came and Gone?

“Why does it have to do with Zhanyan’s custody?” Lu Nanxin asked Wen Jin persistently.
Wen Jin gazed at Lu Nanxin solemnly and replied calmly, “Yu Anwan is not as straightforward as you might think. If she intends to contest the custody of
Zhanyan with me, I may not have a guaranteed victory.”
Lu Nanxin was somewhat surprised.
She wanted to inquire further, but Wen Jin didn’t seem inclined to elaborate. Sensing this, Lu Nanxin wisely refrained from pressing the matter.
Yu Anwan had been lucky back then, but that didn’t mean that she could still escape now.
“Furthermore, it’s an undeniable fact that grandfather favors her. The more trouble you make at this time, the more unlikely it is. Would grandfather agree to this?” Wen Jin asked Lu Nanxin.
Lu Nanxin bit her lip and stayed silent.
Her persistence in getting close to Wen Jin was primarily to assert her identity and status.
The Lu family had never really cared about Lu Nanxin, and the only person who did, Lu Chongming, had long been marginalized. Over the years, Lu Nanxin had often used the Lu family’s name to accomplish her goals. If the Lu family were to intervene after all this commotion, it could result in a considerable loss.
As she pondered this, Lu Nanxin grew quiet.
“Lastly, as for why I don’t resist my grandfather, just as you’re important to me, my grandfather is also significant. I can’t make any jokes at my grandfather’s expense. So please, don’t force me any further, alright?” Wen Jin continued calmly,
“Are you sure you’re not lying to me?” Lu Nanxin looked at Wen Jin.
“When have I ever lied to you?” Wen Jin lowered his head, meeting Lu Nanxin’s gaze.
“You won’t get back together with Yu Anwan?” Lu Nanxin was worried.
Wen Jin gave an unequivocal answer, “No.”
In Wen Jin’s view, it was absolutely out of the question.
While he might be drawn to Yu Anwan due to basic human instincts, rekindling a romantic relationship with her was entirely impossible. Wen Jin had no intention of surrounding himself with someone as prickly as Yu Anwan, which would only cause him distress.
Moreover, he couldn’t control Yu Anwan’s actions.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Be a good girl, ” Wen Jin coaxed her patiently. “Nanxin, please don’t distract me with these matters, okay?”
This time, Lu Nanxin fell silent.
Wen Jin didn’t initiate further conversation either.
After a while, Lu Nanxin spoke, “My parents want me to participate in this year’s fragrance competition. I also want to go and win an award. That way, standing by your side will be more legitimate, and people won’t make unwarranted assumptions.”
“Alright,” Wen Jin nodded. “Let me know if you need anything.”
However, when the topic of fragrance came up, Wen Jin couldn’t help but think of Yu Anwan. Nevertheless, he didn’t reveal his thoughts.
Gradually, Lu Nanxin calmed down. Wen Jin spent a long time comforting her before she finally released him.
However, the media had noticed Wen Jin’s frequent visits to the hospital. Faced with suspicions from the media that Lu Nanxin might be pregnant, Wen Jin immediately denied it.
Afterward, Wen Jin left hastily.
At the same time, Yu Dabao was bored, casually torturing Wen Ye as if he were a punching bag.
Wen Ye had no room to retaliate. He had become accustomed to the abuse. He looked at Yu Dabao with a subservient expression and asked, “Dabao, have you considered a faster way to earn money?”
“Uncle, are you suggesting embezzling public funds? That would be quick but don’t worry, I’ll send you meals in jail,” Yu Dabao quipped.
“What nonsense are you talking about?! Be serious!”
“Tell me.” Yu Dabao nodded, effortlessly dispatching another opponent.
“If you start a game livestream, you’ll become famous, and you don’t even have to show your face.” Wen Ye grinned. “Those other streamers won’t be your match, and you could easily dominate the scene.”
“Then I’ll work hard, and you’ll rake in the money?” Yu Dabao raised an eyebrow, looking at Wen Ye.
Wen Ye immediately shook his head and said, “No, you’re the boss, and I’m just an employee. You take 80%, and I take 20%.”
Wen Ye grinned, but his real intention was not to get money. He wanted to create his gaming team, but Wen Jin promptly dismissed the idea. Without the necessary funding, Wen Ye couldn’t kick-start his plans.
On the other hand, Wen Zhanyan had zero interest in gaming, making it impossible for Wen Ye to find any common ground with him, unlike his rapport with Yu Dabao. That’s why Wen Ye was open about discussing this matter with Wen Zhanyan.
“I will consider it,” Yu Dabao responded, sounding a bit proud.
As a bona fide surfing enthusiast, Yu Dabao was well aware of what online live streaming entailed. However, he regarded Wen Ye earnestly and added, “But no revealing my appearance.”
“Of course.” Wen Ye agreed without hesitation.
He knew all too well that if his face were exposed, it would spell trouble. Even
Yu Dabao’s voice would need special treatment. Making money was secondary. The real concern was the risk of being recognized and facing potential consequences.
“Deal. You arrange it, ” Yu Dabao said while swiftly defeating another player.
He only put away his phone after five consecutive wins.
He was too bored at the Wen family’s mansion. He thought that Wen Jin would bring Lu Nanxin back and he would be able to meet her. But now, it was just him and Wen Ye playing games at home for three days.
Wen Jin did not even show up.
Yu Dabao gave it a thumbs-down in his mind.
Had he known this would happen, he wouldn’t have bothered. He had assumed Wen Jin’s return would involve Lu Nanxin, but now it was just him and Wen Ye playing games for days on end.
Yu Dabao stifled a yawn. He was starting to feel sleepy.
Meanwhile, Wen Ye was fully engrossed in setting up the live broadcast. His excitement knew no bounds.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed from outside the door. Both Wen Ye and Yu Dabao jumped and quickly composed themselves as Wen Jin’s tall figure entered the room.
“Daddy,” Yu Dabao called out.
“Big brother,” Wen Ye added respectfully.
Wen Jin’s expression appeared less than favorable, making the two of them tread cautiously.
Wen Jin acknowledged their greetings with a nod and cleared his throat, which had been somewhat problematic earlier. Then, he turned his attention to “Wen Zhanyan” and stated, “Pack up and get ready. We’re heading to Li County.” “What’s the purpose of going to Li County?” Wen Ye asked in surprise.
Yu Dabao’s reaction was more nervous. “Why are we suddenly going to Li County?”
He couldn’t help but worry. The only matter he associated with Li County was
Yu Anwan. Not only her but also Wen Zhanyan and Yu Xiaobao. Now that Wen Jin had abruptly proposed a trip to Li County, Yu Dabao couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Wouldn’t they risk being exposed by going back and forth like this?
He couldn’t just pretend to be blind and act like he hadn’t seen anything.
Even if Yu Dabao wanted to, he knew Wen Jin wouldn’t agree.
Wen Ye had also realized the gravity of the situation, and he was so taken aback that he began to sweat. Subconsciously, he exchanged glances with Yu Dabao, and then back at Wen Jin. He attempted to speak several times but found himself unable to utter a word.
“What’s going on with you guys?” Wen Jin narrowed his eyes and scrutinized
Wen Ye and Wen Zhanyan..
