66 Being Parents For One Day

“The place where the two of you first met? What do you mean, Third Young Master?” Yu Ziqian tried to maintain a smile.

She didn’t want to believe the two had anything to do with each other.

It must be Shi Ran who had seduced Third Young Master!

“We met when we went to the mall to buy bathtubs,” Shi Ran explained.

Out of the camera’s view, she grabbed a flab of Chu Jinchen’s lower back and twisted it hard, but her smile was exceptionally beautiful. “Isn’t that what you mean, Third Young Master?”

A low laugh escaped from Chu Jinchen’s mouth, and the pain in his lower back was ignored.

He looked into her eyes and nodded. “Miss Shi is right about that.”

‘That sounds even more suggestive.’

Shi Ran tightened her grip.

The next moment, her small palm was covered by a warm palm.

Chu Jinchen rubbed his fingertips against her delicate skin.

In no more than an instant, he released his grip and lowered his hands.

It looked as if he was just stopping Shi Ran from squeezing him.

He knew his limits.

Director Wang saw that the situation was not right and coughed to attract everyone’s attention.

“Everyone has made their choice. Now let’s invite our special guest for the day.”

‘A special guest?’

Everyone wondered.

‘There were special guests besides them?’

Tiny footsteps approached.

The front door opened and four figures appeared.

To be precise, there were four children about four or five years old, two boys and two girls.

Because they were on the show, every child had dressed up seriously. All of them looked very lively and cute.

They stood in a line, big curious eyes rolling as they took in the unfamiliar surroundings.

“How lovely,” Yu Ziqian said in awe.

“They’re indeed cute kids.” Shi Wenfei looked at Zhou Yufan. “What do you think? Yufan.”

Zhou Yufan smiled indulgently. “Yes, very cute.”

The others were also attracted by the children and started to get close to them.

Only Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen stood rooted to the ground.

His gaze swept over the children.

It’s not that Shi Ran had never interacted with children before.

In her previous life, she had trained those brats to grow up, but when children appeared on her reality show…

Not good.

“Do you like children?” Chu Jinchen suddenly asked.

“I don’t,” Shi Ran replied crisply.

Children were weak and difficult to train. They also loved to cry.

Unlike adults, who could be beaten up with a grunt.

‘Children are delicate and troublesome.’

The production team did not know what Shi Ran was thinking at this moment.

Seeing that everyone was getting along well with the children, Director Wang continued to announce the rules. “Today, everyone’s mission is to be parents for a day.”

“There are four children here. Today each group of guests will have to play the role of the children’s parents and take care of them for the day.”

“In the meantime, the child’s real parents will observe your every move from the observation room. A rating will be given at the end of the evening, and you will be ranked according to that rating.”

Then, the program team began to assign one child to each group.

The others were comfortable with their child.

Only a small boy in overalls was left standing alone in the living room.

The little boy looked like he was carved out of jade. In his suspenders, he looked even cuter.

He was the most exquisite-looking of the four children.

And his parents for the day…

Director Wang looked at Chu Jinchen and Shi Ran.

The two of them were standing a little close to each other, their arms touching from time to time.

“Do you like children?” Shi Ran asked quietly.

“No,” Chu Jinchen replied bluntly.

Shi Ran felt even more strange when he heard the children from the other groups calling them ‘Daddy and Mommy’.

“Chu Jinchen, if a child calls you daddy…”

“Heh.” Chu Jinchen sneered. “Throw it out.”

[He’s so fierce ]

[I can tell that Third Young Master really doesn’t like children.]

“Do you know how to babysit?” Shi Ran asked again.

“Does having a pet count?” Chu Jinchen asked seriously.

“I’ve had one, but it was a tiger. Is there a big difference?”

“Quite a coincidence. The wolves I raise are relatively difficult creatures. They’re probably like children.”

“I feed the tiger raw meat. Now and then I have to take him to—”

“So does the wolf. It needs—”

[???????]

[Why did it suddenly become a pet informational show?]

[A tiger and a wolf. Are those pets of normal people? No! Can those even be considered pets???]

[The poor baby would never have guessed that his parents were having an exchange today about raising ferocious beasts.]

[I’m really going to die laughing at this conversation. Hahahaha.]

[You’re more like a child, hahahaha]

[The point is that these two look too serious. I suddenly feel sorry for this kid.]

[The parents of the observation room child aren’t going to faint, are they??]

Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen had never taken care of children before, so they were in a dilemma.

For a moment neither of them approached the children first.

And the little boy in the living room, Rui Rui, looked left and right, and finally those big grape-like eyes fell on Shi Ran.

He grinned, showing his cute little teeth, and ran towards Shi Ran.

The boy then grabbed Shi Ran’s leg.

The soft touch on her leg made Shi Ran freeze on the spot.

Like a robot, she looked down to see Rui Rui opening his arms to her. “Mommy, hug me,” he said softly.

‘Mom… Mommy?’

Shi Ran stiffened.

Under Rui Rui’s expectant gaze, she crouched like a robot, put her hands under his armpits, and lifted him slowly.

She was stiff like a robot the entire time.

Rui Rui leaned into Shi Ran’s arms and kicked his legs happily. The dimples in his cheeks were deep and lovely.

Beside her, Chu Jinchen lowered his eyes and looked at Rui Rui, who was in her arms. He narrowed his black eyes.

Immediately he reached out to Rui Rui with a faint smile on his lips. “Rui Rui, let Daddy hug you.”

[???????]

[“If a Kid Calls You Daddy” and “Throw It Out”]

[The word “Dad” sure came out of his mouth smoothly. Who said he was going to throw it out?]

[Could Third Young Master be angry at Rui Rui for dominating Master Ran’s embrace?]

[The CP fans are really crazy. They can even romanticize this???]

[How did Third Young Master manage to be so serious and funny at the same time??]

[Please replay the part where Third Young Master said he would throw it out.]

Hearing Chu Jinchen’s words, Shi Ran immediately handed Rui Rui to Chu Jinchen.

‘Kids are too fragile.’

When she hugged him, she did not dare to move, afraid that something irrevocable would happen if she used too much strength.

Chu Jinchen had just taken Rui Rui when his body stiffened too.

He and Shi Ran looked at each other and came to the same conclusion at the same time.

This was nothing like the tiger/wolf they raised!

“It seems that everyone is having a good time with today’s special guests. Next, the program team will distribute the daily activities of each child to everyone.”

“As their one-day parents, please arrange your children’s schedule strictly according to the schedule on the activity table. Your family funds today are based on the amount of your earnings from the part-time jobs yesterday.”

Then, the program team sent them the child’s activity schedule and funds.

The funds were split 50-50 between each group yesterday and then reassembled into the current team funds.

However, because Shi Ran and Chu Jinchen were also a couple yesterday, their funds remained exactly at 10,100 yuan.

“I’m so envious of Sister. You guys have so much money while Yufan and I only have five hundred yuan,” Shi Wenfei suddenly said.

Shi Ran smirked. “Only five hundred? Don’t you think your man is too incompetent?”
