From Villain to Cherished: Counter My Role by Pampering Kids

[He's not even that good-looking!]

Just after clicking on the video and glancing at the photos of Su Xingwan and that Liu He, he immediately came to comment.

[Oh, come on! If you weren't staring at the creator's kids and praising her three little ones all day, we'd think you were crushing on the creator.]

Ye Yixing often comments on her videos, his account being very active and generous with donations, a big investor for sure.

As a result, many long-time fans know him and occasionally have a banter war with him.

Today, he had already planned to go shopping with Tang Muya to pick out gifts. After hanging up the call, Su Xingwan began to change clothes and get ready to take the three little ones out.

The three little ones, excited about going out again, quickly packed up despite usually dawdling around at home.

After Ye Yixing and Lu Yun browsed through her daily account's comment section, they silently searched for the new short drama she shot.

Ye Yixing: "People online keep saying Liu He is handsome. I just have to see how handsome he is to have so many people shipping him and Su Xingwan."

Then he found the drama titled "Mr. Xiao, Your Wife Has Blacklisted You Again!"

Seeing the drama title, Ye Yixing inexplicably frowned.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Then he clicked into the first episode, then quickly the second, third...

His frown deepened.

Isn't this just a cliché domineering CEO novel?

If he didn't know what kind of person Su Xingwan was, watching her with the male lead, he would have gotten goosebumps all over, even feeling like curling his toes. He felt uncomfortable all over.

Ye Yixing saw the comments on the screen saying it was sweet, too sweet.

"Sweet my foot! What's sweet about this? More like artificial sweetener?"

"Why would Su Xingwan take on such a short drama? Is this even watchable? This one is worse than the last one she did!"

At least the last one was satisfying to watch; this one just made his scalp tingle.

And this kissing scene, it was unbearable to watch.

Why did Su Xingwan agree to take on such a bold short drama without resisting in the crew?

And with her shy nature, how could she bear to shoot this?

As a straight guy, Ye Yixing couldn't get the heart-fluttering feeling from it, only feeling uncomfortable all over.

He thought the drama character was miles apart from the real Su Xingwan.

Wasn't it awkward to shoot?

While watching, Ye Yixing kept complaining and eventually watched the whole short drama.

Not only that, he even watched it over and over again, trying to get himself used to the artificial sweetness of the plot.

Even though he knew it was all acting and fake, it was still unbearable.

Suddenly, he found his gaze shifting to his cousin, who was watching the short drama with him.

His cousin hadn't spoken a word.

He noticed his cousin's gaze was fixed on the phone screen, silent, with a slight frown.

He felt puzzled: "Cousin, are you okay?"

Lu Yun didn't reply.

"Are you finding it unbearable too?" Ye Yixing asked.

He still didn't look up.

"Cousin, cousin..." Ye Yixing called out.

Lu Yun looked up, his tone emotionless: "Are all short dramas like this?"

Ye Yixing scratched his head: "Not really, last time Su Xingwan's was a revenge drama, this time it's pure romance. I just didn't expect that she'd pull off such a short drama, and it would be even more popular than the last one."

Lu Yun remained silent.

"Is she going to keep acting in these kinds of short dramas?"

Ye Yixing: "I don't know, but I think probably? Since she's gained popularity with them, there must be a market. More popular than her revenge dramas, so investors would be willing to sponsor her. Given Su Xingwan's face, it's hard not to become famous."

Lu Yun continued his silence.

Ye Yixing was puzzled.

Cousin seems a little off today.

Could it be that cousin likes Su Xingwan?

But he thought it was unlikely.

They've met many times, and every time they meet, they're very polite, even a bit distant.

Neither cousin nor Su Xingwan showed any signs of interest in each other.

"Cousin, is it because of the three little ones, do you think it's inappropriate for her to take on this kind of short drama?"

Ye Yixing could only think of this reason that might make his cousin silent.

They had already arrived at the shopping district.

Tang Muya took Su Xingwan to the men's watch section, AK brand, not a big brand but of good quality, decent enough to give as a gift.

"If you're giving gifts to the two of them, you can choose here. This brand's watches are okay."

So Su Xingwan's gaze followed the watches in the glass display.

She wasn't sure what style of watches they liked.

For now, she could only choose based on their personalities.

And it seemed like neither of them wore watches often, especially Mr. Lu, who, despite being a boss, wore no accessories.

But she couldn't think of a more suitable gift other than a watch.

So she thought that as long as her intentions were conveyed, it was enough.

The three little ones clung to the glass display, eyes wide and adorably observing.

"Such pretty watches!"

Su Xingwan's gaze moved over, spotting a very eye-catching watch with different colors blended together.

Hmm, really flashy.

Very fitting for Ye Yixing's image.

This is the one to buy.

She spent a long time picking another watch but wasn't satisfied.

The sales assistant noticed and said: "Miss, there are more watches on the second floor, they're more lavish and exquisite than what's here. Would you like to check it out?"

Su Xingwan looked up: "Sure, let's have a look."

She had already browsed through the first floor and couldn't find anything satisfactory.

Following the sales assistant holding the hands of the three little ones, she and Tang Muya went upstairs.

Here, the watches were placed more securely, even the glass was of a more premium material.

As she continued looking around, she finally spotted a black, low-key watch in a corner.

"Miss, are you taking these two?"

"Yes."

"Alright, Miss. I'll wrap them up for you right away."

During the wait, Su Xingwan's gaze suddenly landed on a jade pendant tied with a red string in the adjacent display case.

The sales assistant with sharp eyes noticed it.

Smiling, they introduced: "Miss, this is a unisex style, you can wear it yourself or gift it to someone. Would you like to take a look?"

Su Xingwan paused: "Sure, let me see."

When the sales assistant carefully placed the pendant in her hand,

Su Xingwan's fingertips touched the jade pendant, its texture cool and pleasant, perfect for keeping cool in summer and warm in winter.

Staring closely, she could see a river-like galaxy flowing inside the green jade.

Eventually, Su Xingwan bought the jade pendant.

The sales assistant beamed: "Miss, you have a great eye."

As they walked out, Tang Muya laughed: "Are you giving away the jade pendant or keeping it for yourself?"

Su Xingwan: "Haven't decided yet."

When she saw this jade pendant, she inexplicably thought it suited Mr. Lu better than a watch.
