Chapter 0201

"Damn, still talking back? Asking for a beating."

"Ah—ah—ah—"

After dealing with the three pests from the Liu family, Wei Xiang flashed a row of white teeth, grinning foolishly at the show on the screen.

At the Chen residence, Chen Qingtian was lounging on the sofa watching a livestream when she gradually noticed more and more people gathering around her. She looked up.

"What are you all doing?"

"We're watching Little Ran's livestream."

"Yeah, just because it's the weekend doesn’t mean you get to hog the TV."

"Sweetheart, I have to say something—why didn’t you tell us your cousin was on the show today?"

Chen Qingtian: "Since when do you care about entertainment news?"

"Little Ran isn’t part of the entertainment industry. He’s the husband of a capital big shot..."

At that moment, the host’s question played out on screen, and both Lin Ran and Luo Yao raised their answer boards simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Su Jianguo and Chen Xiao exchanged a glance.

"So Little Ran and Yao Yao have known each other since childhood? No wonder they seem so deeply in love. I used to worry a little, but now it seems that concern was unnecessary."

Su Jianguo: "Old man, make sure Little Ran comes to visit me sometime. I miss them."

Chen Qingtian was equally stunned. "They’ve known each other since they were kids? That bastard Wu Zhishang actually lied to me?"

Far away in a dorm at Jingda University, Wu Zhishang sneezed. Staring at his phone screen, he was just as confused.

"How come Brother Lin and Sister-in-law knew each other all along? Why didn’t I know?"

Back at the manor, even the host was surprised by the answer.

So it's childhood sweethearts! No wonder. I thought... I never expected you two to be so in sync. Well then, time for my trump card—the next question: What are Lin Ran's three favorite things to do in daily life?

Luo Yao pondered briefly before writing.

Lin Ran, however, hesitated. He wasn’t even sure what his favorite activities were.

As long as it involved loving Luo Yao, he enjoyed doing it.

After a moment, he finally wrote and raised his board.

Lin Ran: [Feeding my wife, doing anything that shows love for my wife, figure out the third one yourself.]

Luo Yao: [Feeding me, telling me he loves me, sleeping.]

Luo Yao’s answer was more direct—and explosive.

[Little Black: "Ohoho, eating, sleeping, and lovemaking? Shameless much?"]

[Lin Ran: "You’ve really got some issues."]

The entire livestream audience was force-fed a mouthful of dog food.

Even the host had never encountered a couple this harmonious. She could swear there was no script today.

Is "sleeping" the proper way to say "sleeping"?

Who knows if it's serious, but is this show scripted?

[Probably not—the questions are random.]

[I wanna know how he 'feeds' his wife.]

[I believe it now—they’re truly in love.]

The host blinked. "This was a tough one, yet you both aced it. Last question: Who wears the pants in the family?"

A fatal question.

Lin Ran: [Luo Yao. Listen to the wife, and you’ll never go hungry or broke.]

Luo Yao: [Depends. Usually, Ah Ran listens to me.]

Finally, a slight discrepancy—but it only made netizens even more envious.

What kind of wife-spoiling monster is this?!

[No wonder he’s got it made.]

[I used to envy Lin Ran, but now I think I envy Luo Yao more.]

[I want a husband like Lin Ran too.]

As the Q&A wrapped up, the fish was ready, and the soup was done.

Following Lin Ran’s final instructions, Luo Yao sprinkled some cilantro.

[See? Lin Ran’s amazing. Even though Luo Yao cooked the fish, it was all under his guidance. He must cook often.]

The host smiled. "Mr. Lin, do you cook regularly?"

Lin Ran: "My wife’s favorite meals are the ones I make."

[Little Fairy]: Seriously, a man this rich still cooks for his wife? Meanwhile, my deadbeat husband acts like he’s hot stuff on a measly salary.

[Housewife Haven]: @Little Fairy, your man doesn’t love you. Divorce him.

Luo Yao hadn’t cared much about the show initially—she just wanted to spend time with Lin Ran and stake her claim on him.

But as it went on, she started appreciating the crew.

The questions brought back beautiful memories, especially the one about their first meeting—the most magical moment of her life.

And now, cooking side by side with Ah Ran at the stove...

Hmm... they’ve never done it in the kitchen before. Next time, definitely.

As Luo Yao moved to plate the fish, Lin Ran quickly stopped her.

"Don't—you might burn yourself. Let me." He shielded her, carefully transferring the fish before signaling a servant to bring it to the table.

The camera zoomed in on their dish.

They even have servants serving the food. I'm so jealous.

[Look how protective Lin Ran is—those worried eyes scream love.]

[That fish looks delicious.]

[Teacher Huang’s dish looks great too, but who knows?]

Lin Ran politely gestured to the host. "Don’t be shy, try it. And everyone else working hard over there—come taste our cooking."

Uncle Fu looked constipated. Granny Wang kept her head down. Liu Meng bit back a laugh.

The host admired the aromatic fish. "You should eat first. It’d be rude for us to start."

Lin Ran waved it off. "No need. We had a big breakfast. Dig in."

Seeing Luo Yao didn’t object, the host obliged.

"Then we won’t hold back." She was surprised by how kind Lin Ran and Luo Yao were—her past impressions were clearly wrong.

One bite later: "Wow, this is good!"

Lin Ran: "Right? You picked it. Hey, guys, come try this—this fish is expensive outside, and the soup’s made with airflown specialty ingredients."

Soon, the fish was devoured by a dozen crew members, and every last drop of soup was gone.

"Seriously tasty."

"Who knew CEOs could cook like this?"

"This soup is unreal—so fresh!"

The only one who didn’t eat was the assistant director, who sensed something off.

The director frowned. "What? You’re turning down Lin Ran’s invitation?"

With a sigh, the assistant director finally took a sip.

Twelve Volumes of the Professional Honor Roll, Each Bearing My Name

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..."
