The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 78

Chapter 78

The bright and splendid lights of the shopping mall fell on the white tiles, creating small, round spots. The entire event area seemed to be covered in a layer of fine fireflies, shining brightly.

Below the stage, the media’s interview was still ongoing.

Shen Jinfeng was in the crowd in the first two rows, holding a camera, and aimed it at Shen Tiantian, who was sitting on a high stool in the corner, his little feet not touching the ground.

Under the high-definition camera, the advantages of Shen Tiantian’s appearance were magnified countless times.

His skin was delicate, his features were exquisite, and the most prominent were his black gem-like eyes, which were embedded in his face. Under the camera’s capture, they were as watery and clear as a pool of water.

The principle that ordinary people look three parts uglier on camera seemed to not apply to Shen Tiantian at all.

Not just Shen Jinfeng, but the media on the side, who were taking pictures to prepare for their reports, couldn’t help but sigh:

“This child is really good-looking.”

In the overall photo, he was the most prominent.

Ye Jiabao, who was striking a pose on the other side, was simply no match for him.

Shen Jinfeng put down his camera, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, and a hint of pride couldn’t help but appear in his eyes.

Watching the little one so seriously promoting with the film crew, and being so well-behaved even when sitting on the cold bench on the stage, Shen Jinfeng had a dazed feeling of watching his own child grow up.

Tiantian has really grown up, Shen Jinfeng sighed.

The promotion event ended after an hour.

After the event, Shen Tiantian followed everyone and retreated from the backstage.

The central air conditioning was on in the shopping mall. Tiantian was wearing a light blue cotton-padded jacket, and his little face was flushed from the heat, but he still habitually tucked his little hands in.

Lu Wei said a few words to his manager, ran over, and a hint of apology was in his handsome features.

“Sorry, Tiantian. I promise I won’t rub your face before the next event!”

Until now, the matter of Lu Wei rubbing his foundation on Shen Tiantian’s face was still on the trending topics and being laughed at.

Tiantian had already learned the truth from his big sister Hu Ran. He lifted his little chin and huffed, wishing he could point his little nose to the sky.

He didn’t say anything and just turned his little face to ignore his big brother Lu Wei.

Lu Wei rubbed his hands, thinking that Shen Tiantian’s little appearance was really cute. He giggled and wanted to pinch his face again.

Fortunately, in the next second, Shen Jinfeng came over from the entrance, his figure slender, a hint of a smile on his lips as he called out to Tiantian.

Lu Wei looked up and, following Shen Tiantian’s running figure, saw the tall and slender figure and couldn’t help but sigh deeply:

“It’s a good thing Shen Jinfeng didn’t enter the entertainment industry.”

His manager also popped out and said coolly:

“That’s right. You two are so similar in type. If Shen Jinfeng entered the industry, he would probably also take the pretty boy route. The key is that he really has the temperament of a noble young master from a wealthy family, and he could easily crush you.”

Lu Wei’s heart skipped a beat.

Shen Jinfeng saw Lu Wei, nodded at him as a greeting.

He held the bouncing Shen Tiantian’s hand, and his clear and moist, smiling eyes sparkled with a little light as he asked:

“Do you want to go for lunch? For your good performance today, this meal is on me.”

Shen Tiantian’s eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Shen Jinfeng with his little eyes in surprise.

“Who are you? Where is my stingy and petty big brother? Hurry up and bring him back!”

Shen Jinfeng gave him a tap on the head, successfully making Shen Tiantian recognize reality.

Shen Tiantian covered his forehead, puffed out his little face angrily, and, not to be outdone, stepped on his brother’s foot with his little foot.

Shen Jinfeng’s eyes widened slightly. He looked at the light gray little footprint on his white shoe and took a deep breath.

“Shen Tiantian, you stand right there.”

Shen Tiantian was not a fool. He was small, but he was agile enough. He weaved through the crowd in the shopping mall and ran into a store to hide.

This was a children’s clothing store, and the mannequins were all customized to the height of four- or five-year-old children.

When Shen Tiantian saw that his brother was about to find him, he quickly mixed into a row of mannequins, mimicked the mannequin’s pose, and stood straight and tall with his small hands by his sides.

Shen Jinfeng saw this little brat’s action from a distance, was speechless for a moment, and slowly walked over with his single-shoulder bag.

He deliberately lingered in front of Shen Tiantian for a while and didn’t expose Shen Tiantian, who was trying his best to pose as a mannequin. He pretended not to see him and muttered in a low voice:

“Where’s Tiantian? Where did he run off to in the blink of an eye?”

Tiantian, who was pretending to be a mannequin, had sparkling little eyes. Seeing that his brother actually couldn’t find him, he pressed his little lips together and secretly laughed in his heart.

Shen Jinfeng saw his little appearance, let out a soft scoff, and stopped the shop assistant who was coming over to recommend something. He folded his arms and had a malicious smile.

“This little mannequin is not right. Real mannequins all have their eyes closed.”

Shen Tiantian quickly closed his eyes. Afraid that his brother wouldn’t believe him, he even closed them tightly, his little fists also clenching.

The shop assistant on the side let out a chuckle, lowered her head, and her shoulders shook, afraid that she would laugh out loud.

Shen Jinfeng, on the other hand, circled around this little mannequin with his eyes closed, a smile hidden in the corners of his eyes and brows as he said:

“This time, it looks real. But how does it look exactly like Tiantian?”

Shen Jinfeng continued, “Unless he opens his mouth and says he’s a mannequin, I won’t believe it.”

“I’m a mannequin!”

Tiantian quickly opened his mouth, not daring to open his eyes, and repeated it several times.

He successfully made Shen Jinfeng and the shop assistant on the side laugh.

Shen Tiantian, who hadn’t yet realized that there was a problem, secretly opened one eye, but suddenly met Shen Jinfeng’s gaze and quickly blinked several times.

Seeing that he couldn’t hide anymore, Shen Tiantian had no choice but to walk out from the pile of mannequins, smiled obediently, and took the initiative to hold his brother’s hand.

“Big brother, you see, you’re not worried at all. You almost lost me.”

Shen Jinfeng knew that this little one was best at blaming the victim first.

“Oh, so in the end, it’s my fault.”

Tiantian hummed twice and said magnanimously, “I forgive you!”

Shen Jinfeng’s hand itched to hit Shen Tiantian’s head, but seeing that the shop assistants were all looking over, and one was even asking if they were the stars who had been on a variety show, Shen Jinfeng could only temporarily suppress this urge to beat a child.

“No, I don’t know any stars.”

And Shen Tiantian, on the side, also spoke at the same time, his eyes as bright as a several-hundred-watt light bulb as he nodded vigorously.

“That’s right, that’s right. I’m a little star.”

Shen Jinfeng gritted his teeth. This little show-off!

After taking a picture with a few shop assistants, Shen Jinfeng took Shen Tiantian to a restaurant not far from the shopping mall for a meal.

Shen Tiantian had participated in an event in the morning and was starving. He couldn’t wait to tuck a napkin into the collar of his shirt as a bib.

He held his chopsticks, his eyes shining, and asked with anticipation:

“Big brother, what are we eating?”

Shen Jinfeng’s gaze fell on his napkin bib, and he asked with amusement:

“You’re four this year, and you’ll be five after the new year. By rounding up, you’re already a ten-year-old child. How can you still not be able to do without your bib?”

Shen Tiantian, who had aged six or seven years in an instant, was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were dazed as he said:

“Am I… that old already?”

How did he not know that himself?

Seeing that the little one had really been fooled by him, Shen Jinfeng slapped his forehead, sighed helplessly, and handed the menu to Shen Tiantian.

“After you go back, study math well, or you’ll be foolishly helping others count their money after being cheated.”

Shen Tiantian pouted his little lips, feeling that his brother was mocking him.

But his gaze fell on the menu, and in an instant, he was happy again. He pointed with his small hand and ordered seven or eight dishes at once.

Fortunately, Shen Jinfeng stepped in to stop him, crossed out four dishes, and only left three.

“It’s too wasteful. Your little belly can barely fit one dish.”

Shen Tiantian was about to say something, but the restaurant served the food very quickly. He was so drawn by the fragrance of the food that his head was empty, and he only cared about burying his head in his food. For a moment, he also forgot what he was going to say.

During the meal, Shen Tiantian even met a female fan.

“Tiantian?”

Tiantian looked up from his rice bowl, the corner of his mouth stained with the brown sauce from the pork ribs, one of his cheeks stuffed with meat, his eyes clear and simple.

“Who’s calling me?”

The older sister let out an “ah,” thinking that the cub was too cute. She excitedly stood next to him and asked in a low voice:

“Tiantian, I’m your fan. Can I take a picture with you?”

The popularity of Tiantian’s variety show was gradually spreading. Now, when he walked on the street, he would be recognized from time to time.

Tiantian’s starry eyes were bright, shining with an incredible light. He pointed to his face with his small finger, which was also stained with sauce.

“Me?”

The older sister nodded, took out her phone, and couldn’t wait to make a peace sign.

Shen Tiantian also quickly pressed his lips into a smile, his eyes sparkling, and also made a small peace sign.

“Thank you, Tiantian! You will definitely be a big hit in the future!”

Tiantian hummed twice, not doubting this sentence at all.

“I will.”

Shen Jinfeng looked at his confident little appearance, shook his head with amusement, took out a few tissues, and wiped the sauce from the corner of Shen Tiantian’s mouth.

The bib on Shen Tiantian’s chest had fallen off at some point. Shen Jinfeng took another napkin and folded one for him.

Shen Tiantian craned his little neck, waiting for his brother to serve him, his brows and eyes curved in a smile, like a melted little milk candy.

“Thank you, big brother. You’re the best~”

His voice was sweet and sticky, as if it could be pulled into threads, and one mouthful was even sweeter than eating sugar.

Shen Jinfeng gently tapped his forehead, his heart soothed and gratified. The corners of his lips lifted, and he just told him to hurry up and eat.

Night fell quietly. The light in the sky was pushed back bit by bit, leaving only a faint glimmer on the horizon.

In the living room, the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling emitted a brilliant and soft light, quietly enveloping the small person on the sofa.

Today was the day the third episode of the variety show was broadcast.

Shen Tiantian had prepared a small fruit plate, a small snack plate, and a glass of pure milk early in the morning. He was also holding his recently favorite little rabbit pillow.

He sat on the sofa with his little legs crossed, like a chubby salted fish that had just come ashore.

When it was time for the broadcast, Shen Tiantian’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t wait to shout:

“Butler uncle, hurry up and turn on the TV. I’m about to be on!”

Shen Tiantian was indeed the traffic-bearer of this variety show. The first thing that appeared on the screen was his round and fluffy little head.

Shen Xiuze, who was watching the variety show with Shen Tiantian, had his deep black, cold eyes lift, surprised for a moment.

Then he thought of the performance of the other children in the variety show and couldn’t help but understand.

In this kind of family variety show where children were the main characters, the traffic password indeed had to fall on the cute kids.

And among these children, Shen Tiantian, whether in terms of appearance or variety show effect, was the most outstanding one.

It was inevitable that he would be used as a means to attract traffic.
