Chapter 56 Subtle Thoughts Under the Lens

"Oh dear! Husband! The dumplings are broken, you can't put them in."

Liu Ruhua, with sharp eyes, saw Ye Jianming trying to hide a dumpling with a broken edge into the plate and quickly stopped him.

Ye Jianming rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty for not getting away with it.

"Tsk, why are you touching your nose again? You're still making dumplings! Go wash your hands again." Saying that, Liu Ruhua slapped his hand away.

Ye Jianming had no choice but to shamefully go wash his hands.

"As expected, no matter how big a boss you are, you have to fear your wife."

"We are all happy to see our goddess living well."

"Yes, seeing the goddess is still the same as back then, we know she didn't marry the wrong person."

"Everyone, I think I saw my dad's bullet comments."

"Me too..."

"Why do I feel like there are suddenly a lot more older viewers?"

"Grandma, Nuannuan's are warm." Nuannuan held up a round, unwrinkled dumpling and came to claim credit.

"Nuannuan is great, much more useful than Grandpa."

Ye Jianming looked at the round dumpling, almost the size of a glutinous rice ball, and felt a little wronged.

"Dad, don't blame Mom for saying you, you're really too rough. Look, at least my dumplings aren't broken." Ye Jingzhi stepped forward to show off his dumplings.

"You have the nerve to say that? The dumpling skin is almost thicker than the wall!"

Ye Jianming winked at the dough hidden by Ye Jingzhi, which was a mess from being pulled.

"Pfft~ I say, little brother, with your skill level, you shouldn't come out and embarrass yourself." Ye Jingxing's own dumplings weren't great, but that didn't stop him from mocking others.

"Alright, stop laughing at others. Whoever made dumplings today eats them themselves," Liu Ruhua commanded.

"Good boy, later you'll eat the ones made by Aunt Wu and Grandma." As she spoke, Liu Ruhua quickly made another exquisitely shaped dumpling.

"Grandma, Nuannuan can eat her own." With that, her chubby little hands placed another round piece of dough.

"Nuannuan, can your dad eat yours?" Ye Jinghuai looked at the "little glutinous rice balls" in Nuannuan's plate.

"Okay~ Then Nuannuan will make more." Nuannuan clenched her paws seriously and cheered herself on.

"Aiya! Nuannuan is too cute!"

"Silly girl! Your dad wants you not to eat the ones you made yourself."

"Young Master Ye clearly choked and feels like he said the wrong thing, hahaha."

"Nuannuan, little uncle wants to eat yours too." Ye Jingzhi said enviously.

"Finish eating the ones you made yourself first!" Ye Jinghuai glanced at his "steamed buns" by the door with some disdain.

Ye Jingzhi looked at the relatively normal dumplings in Ye Jinghuai's hand, then at his own, and lowered his head in silence.

"Little brother Jingzhi, don't be sad, big sister likes the ones you made!"

"Can the fangirls upstairs restrain themselves a bit?"

"Cough, I didn't expect the younger brother of Emperor Ye to look as silly as me."

"Cough~ Sorry to the one upstairs, I need to point this out. Emperor Ye's brother is a student at the Imperial Capital Military Academy, and he was admitted with the top score in the nation that year."

"No one really thinks that people who appear ordinary are truly ordinary, right?"

"Father Ye is so good at raising sons, each one is so outstanding."

"Sisters, the Ye family still has four vacant daughter-in-law spots!!!"

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to be Nuannuan's mom!"

The bullet comments veered off course inexplicably...

Regardless of how well the dumplings were made, they were all eventually put into the pot, in various bizarre shapes.

Everyone's bowl had at least one of Nuannuan's round dumplings.

Although the dumplings didn't taste particularly good, the whole family ate with great joy, their faces full of feigned disdain, but their eyes shining with happiness.

After lunch, the director announced that there would be no other tasks for the day, and everyone could arrange their time as usual.

The men went back to their work, while Ye Jingxing and Ye Jingzhi played with Nuannuan in the garden.

The two older brothers were taken away by Lin Anran; they had piano lessons that afternoon. This was not forced by Ye Jingchen and Lin Anran; it was their own interest and desire to learn.

"As expected, others are outstanding for a reason. They have so many extracurricular classes at such a young age, while I just want to lie in bed and watch variety shows."

"The one upstairs, unlike you, I just sit on the sofa and watch."

"You young people! You can't even do things properly."

"Big brother, aren't you, an uncle, also watching variety shows?"

"Hmph, I'm here to watch Goddess Hua."

"Uncle, I didn't expect that even when you get old, you still chase stars!"

"Don't be silly, we've all been through your age."

Although the live broadcast was a bit dull at the moment, the audience was chatting animatedly in the bullet comments.

Li Chenggang, holding a cup of watermelon juice, smiled and watched the backstage, in a good mood, deciding to switch the scene later.

"Director Li, Chen Yi's side has started arguing, should we switch the scene?" The urgent inquiry came from another on-site director through the earpiece.

"Started arguing? Interesting, switch it."

Chen Yi was once a hugely popular celebrity, having even won the Best Actress award. However, after winning the award, she didn't continue to develop her career. Instead, she retired from acting and married into a wealthy family.

But she didn't have Liu Ruhua's luck. Her husband was exposed for having affairs just two years after their marriage, and there were always occasional rumors and revelations over the years.

That's why she wanted to return to the entertainment industry, because she felt her husband liked her as she was in front of the camera, so she wanted to return to the industry to win back her husband's heart.

Originally, she didn't know about the split-screen on the show. She only found out when she secretly went to the restroom in the morning.

After seeing it, she felt uncomfortable. After all, she had won Best Actress and felt she was no worse than Ye Jingxing. Not only was she separated from Ye Jingxing, but she was also placed with three other semi-famous people.

She calmed herself down in the restroom for a while before tidying her expression and walking out.

She felt the director simply didn't see her popularity. She had only been retired for a few years; her fans wouldn't disappear so quickly. She was determined to show the director the buzz she could generate.

What she had originally planned was to intentionally create a small conflict with her husband at home to generate buzz and attract attention. Who knew that as they argued, it would turn into a real quarrel.
