Chapter 199

"What are your thoughts on this?"

"..."

Upon hearing the staff member's relaying of his daughter-in-law's words, Ji Mochen fell into a brief silence, before—

"I suggest you ask a different question."

Director: ...Okay then.

"Ahem." The director cleared his throat, smoothly moving on to the next question, "Based on our understanding, Ruo Ruo still lives with her parents at the moment. We'd like to ask you, what's your view on children living independently—"

"I generally don't dwell on that question," Ji Mochen said matter-of-factly.

"??"

"Do you have any other questions besides living independently?"

"Uh..."

"Alright then, let's end the interview here. I need to go cook for my wife and child."

With that, Ji Mochen took off his microphone and turned to leave.

The staff members left behind: ...

"Was he upset just now?"

"Seems like it."

"Be more confident, drop the 'seems like', he was definitely upset." A staff member familiar with Ji Mochen's temper couldn't help but comment, "To be honest, I kind of missed his short temper, where he'd just abandon everything at the drop of a hat."

Everyone: ...

And so, the interview with the Ji family was forced to end prematurely.

As an observational reality show, it was inevitable that the children would have to go through a seven-day independent living period, which would be recorded.

For this reason, Ji Ruochu and her husband were required to have some couple time, conveniently timed with Brother Qin's invitation to Ji Mochen for a fashion week.

Although Ji Mochen had taken a semi-hiatus during the year Ruo Ruo took her college entrance exams, he returned to the public eye after successfully recruiting Brother Qin to his studio.

Over the years, he continued to hold concerts and attend business events. This invitation also came from a brand he had cooperated with for many years, so he couldn't simply decline.

Originally, he planned to go and come back quickly to accompany his daughter, but now, for the sake of the show's recording, the couple was packed off to attend the fashion week for those seven days.

Initially, Ji Ruochu had wanted to move to another house in the Ji family for that period, since it was just a few days anyway, but her parents strongly objected.

They joked, what if their daughter ended up liking living independently?

Moreover, their current residence was the most conveniently located for Ruo Ruo to get to her usual hangouts.

And so, the production team successfully gained entry into this prime real estate area to film.

Is it too late to take back what I said earlier?

The answer was obviously too late.

And so, on the first day of recording, while other independent living participants were cooking for themselves, Ji Ruochu was forced to enjoy the hospitality of various households.

Three meat dishes, three vegetables, one pot of soup, and one pot of rice—it was an absolute feast.

To avoid wasting food, before eating, Ji Ruochu took out some clean plates and divided each dish into two portions.

She only left a small bowl of each dish for herself, letting the staff eat the rest.

And you know what? The taste was... out of this world!

Completely on par with top hotel chefs, wasn't it?

Could it be that these home cooks were all trained at a culinary institute for the rich?

So this was the life of the wealthy?

And just like that, the first day of recording came to a close.

Fortunately, Ji Ruochu didn't plan on staying home every day, otherwise this show might have turned into 'The Life of a Child Being Fed.'

Ji Ruochu: Just don't ask. Let's just say my uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas love me too deeply.

The next day, Ji Ruochu brought the production crew to the Nan Family Martial Arts School.

In the car, the director took the opportunity for a small interview:

"Do you go to the martial arts school often, Ruo Ruo?"

"I used to go every day, but now that I'm home less often, the frequency has decreased relatively."

"So you really know martial arts?"

Ji Ruochu: ...Can there be fake martial arts?

"You'll see later."

Director: I feel like there's some deeper meaning behind that.

Ten minutes later, the crew's car stopped at the Nan Family Martial Arts School. After prior communication with the person in charge, both parties agreed on the goal of "promoting Chinese martial arts".

Therefore, apart from blurring the relevant individuals, the school's layout and facilities could all be filmed.

Not only that, the school even selected a coach to help Ji Ruochu "loosen up".

At first, the crew thought it would just be some stretching or hitting a few sandbags. At most, the coach would put on protective gear and assist Ji Ruochu like a boxing trainer.

Until—Ji Ruochu abruptly kicked through a wooden board thicker than her arm.

In that moment, looking at the split wood and its jagged edge, the staff suddenly understood what it meant to feel "chills down the spine".
