The program's set was resplendent.
On the big leather sofa of the observation group, three female celebrity panelists, introduced first, seemed to be competing in beauty, with their exquisite makeup and glamorous outfits.
They were all Heavenly Queen and Best Actress level stars: Lin Xiaolu, Zhuo Yiyi, and Bai Qinghe.
But when Li Huange appeared, all eyes turned to her, and the applause and cheers grew even more enthusiastic.
Her perfect face, alluring figure, and immense popularity caused an eruption of cheers both on-site and in the live stream.
The gathering of four highly popular female stars in the entertainment industry hinted at an unspoken rivalry.
These four belonged to China's four major entertainment companies, each a flagship artist.
A large-scale immersive live-streaming mystery show jointly created by the four major entertainment companies—"Mom's on a Business Trip"!
And so, it began with great anticipation.
The beautiful host Fang Qian and the handsome host Li Lei kicked off the show with passion.
"Dear viewers in the live stream, welcome to the live broadcast of 'Mom's on a Business Trip'! This program is a joint creation by China's most renowned entertainment companies: Huange Entertainment, Heijing Entertainment, Anna Entertainment, and Huihuang Entertainment!"
"The signature Heavenly Queen and Best Actress level artists from the four entertainment companies are already in place as the observation group!"
"We have selected three special families to showcase the daily lives of young fathers taking care of their children at home through an immersive observation method, providing guidance on the correct outlook on life, the world, and values during the live broadcast."
"It is important to emphasize that the families being broadcasted are unaware of this."
"In other words, this program is entirely about observing the most authentic daily life of a father taking care of children at home!"
...
Chen Qi opened his eyes.
"Sigh... With a little rascal around, I can't even sleep in..."
Chen Qi got up, dressed quickly, and came out.
The live stream comments immediately became lively.
[Wow! A big villa! This family is really wealthy, definitely not an ordinary household.]
[According to the introduction, Chen Qi is only in his early twenties, and the child is five years old?]
[Young and handsome, he must have married a rich woman, otherwise how could he afford such a big villa?]
[I realized one thing, Chen Qi's big villa just needs me, I don't mind being a stepmom!]
[Such a young dad, he's not even mature himself, can he take care of a child?]
After a simple wash, it was already eight in the morning.
There was noise from upstairs.
"Xiao Kun, go wash up first!" Chen Qi shouted.
A dissatisfied voice came from upstairs, belonging to Chen Xiaokun.
"First rule of the father-son agreement, Chen Qi must not interfere with any of Chen Xiaokun's affairs, and cannot make any decisions for Chen Xiaokun without permission! Did you forget?"
Chen Qi, annoyed, shouted again, "I'm telling you, Chen Xiaokun, your mom's not home, and if I spank you, no one will stop me!"

Chen Qi opened the fridge, took out some eggs, went to the kitchen, grabbed a bowl, poured in some flour, cracked the eggs, and skillfully mixed them.
Then he washed a few cabbage leaves and sliced them into shreds.
He started making a simple soup and pancakes on another stove.
"It seems our dad here is quite skilled at cooking. The simple soup and pancakes are making me hungry," Fang Qian said with a smile.
Li Lei also smiled, "Many women say that men who cook are very attractive. Chen Qi is already handsome, and he looks good cooking too. It seems this family is very happy."
"I get Chen Qi's charm!" Zhuo Yiyi laughed.
Lin Xiaolu and Bai Qinghe nodded with smiles.
"His image is indeed impeccable, but he's so young."
"Young and handsome men often don't know how to take care of children, I'm really looking forward to it."
Li Huange's lips twitched slightly.
When she's not home, Chen Qi and Chen Xiaokun's conversations will definitely mention Li Huange.
By then, everyone will know this is Li Huange's family.
This will cause the show's popularity to skyrocket!
When Chen Qi's gentle nature and Chen Xiaokun's sensible and smart demeanor are revealed, it will greatly benefit Li Huange's career!
If Chen Qi's musical talent is also showcased...
That would be a huge win!
The live stream was full of praise, especially from female viewers, whose eyes sparkled.
...
In the footage, Chen Qi flipped the pancakes and suddenly started singing in a high-pitched voice.
"Early morning, go pick up manure~~~ la la la~~ la la la~~~ la~~~ la la la la la~~~"
"Come home, why can't I find my girl~~~ la la la~~ la la la~~~ la~~~ la la la la la~~~"
The studio was instantly bewildered.
The comments exploded.
[Whoa! This refined rich guy, cooking and singing this?]
[I was just getting hungry, so you can't judge a book by its cover.]
[He's singing and beatboxing for himself? Such a good sense of music?]
The studio erupted with laughter.
Fan Binfen and the others held their stomachs, tears streaming down their faces, pointing at the big screen and laughing heartily.
"Oh my! I'm dying of laughter... hahahaha..."
"What is this song? I've been in the music industry for years and never heard of it?"
"If you ignore the lyrics, this little tune is quite catchy... hahahaha..."
Li Huange's face twitched, feeling her stomach churn and her blood pressure rise.
Every morning for the past three years, when this guy made breakfast for me...
Was he singing this song?
On the big screen, Chen Qi started swaying his hips.
"Searched the whole neighborhood~~~ can't find my girl, I'm worried~~~ la la la~ la la la~ la~ la la la la la~~~"
"Sweating with anxiety~~~ ah ah ah~~~ two policemen came my way~~~"
"La la la~ la la la~ la~ la la la la la~~~"
"I owe no rent, owe no grain~~~ why are you at my house~~~ ah ah ah~~~"
The other three female stars in the observation group lost all their usual elegance, laughing so hard they almost rolled on the floor.
Li Huange stared at the big screen with her mouth agape, her mind a blur.
When I'm not home... is this how Chen Qi behaves?
Is the usually gentle and quiet Chen Qi actually like this in private?
Li Huange suddenly felt a bit scared.
If Chen Qi really has such a big contrast, how deep must his scheming be?
[You know, this little tune is quite catchy.]
[Am I the only one who noticed Chen Qi's perky butt?]
[Oh my, I'm laughing like crazy on the subway to work.]
[What's the name of the song?]
...
Chen Xiaokun came downstairs, appearing on screen for the first time.
"Oh wow! Little handsome guy!" Fang Qian exclaimed, "Dad's handsome, and the son inherited his looks. This father-son duo makes me love..."
Fang Qian didn't finish, because Chen Qi was still singing about picking manure.
"Chen Qi, can you stop singing? It's really awful!" Chen Xiaokun frowned, sitting at the dining table.
"Don't talk nonsense! This song isn't something just anyone can sing! Your dad's singing skills are unbeatable!" Chen Qi's voice came through.
"Sigh..."
Chen Xiaokun covered his forehead, looking helpless.
"Having an unreliable man at home is really a headache!"
"Luckily, one of the two men is reliable."
