Chapter 917 - 915: Don’t Want to Become an Evil Mother-in-Law (Part 1)
It seemed like overnight, Si Han could no longer leave the house as freely as before. Now, whenever she was in public, she had to wear a hat and sunglasses like many big stars. Even at school, she was no longer as at peace, often attracting onlookers, with people asking for her autograph one after another.Even though phone calls to Tian Fang to arrange various appearances for Si Han were still flooding in every day, Tian Fang hadn’t accepted any of them for Si Han. Si Han’s online fame was rising by the day, but she herself stayed low-key, as busy as ever with her studies, running around to attend various intensive training courses, and never appearing in any media or directly responding to any online speculation or questions.
However, on the day she returned home, she used the name Si Han to register an account on Weibo. Her first post consisted of just three words, "I’m here!" accompanied by a few photos with fans at the airport and some close-ups from a fashion show. Within just a few days, her follower count surpassed 200,000.
When it came to what the fan club should be named, which had troubled the fans, she brought it up with Da Bao. After thinking for a moment, Da Bao suggested, "How about ’Lion’?" He looked at Nuonuo intently, pinching her cheek theatrically, "Hmm... even though you don’t look like a lion at all, more like a little bunny!"
Nuonuo clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Hey, that’s great!", letting go of the issue about being a little bunny with Da Bao and excitedly ran to Tieba to register an account under Si Han’s name.
Then, she popped up in a post discussing what Si Han’s fan club should be named, offering her enthusiastic fans a suggestion, "How about ’Lion’?"
Her reply set off waves, and the Si Han forum immediately went abuzz. Many fans privately messaged her, and Si Han wanted to click in and pick a few important ones to reply to, but the computer was so frozen that it wouldn’t load.
Naturally, the choice from Si Han herself quickly received the fans’ support. Thus, Si Han naturally became the "Lion King" of this group of lions, and from this fan club called "Lion," various endearing names for Si Han emerged.
Such as: Violin-playing Lion King, Catwalking Lion King...
When Si Han proudly showed off the nicknames fans had given her in the Tieba forum to Da Bao, Da Bao pulled her into a hug, confidently stating, "They’re wrong. I’m the Lion King, you’re the Lion Queen."
Si Han wasn’t really concerned whether she was king or queen, but having a fan club did please her for quite some time.
In her free time, she developed a new hobby: using her phone or iPad to browse Weibo or Tieba and see what topics and new trends her fans were discussing.
Seeing her like this, Tian Fang suggested with a smile, "Girl, after your movie releases, I’ll arrange a fan meeting event for you through the company, how about that?"
Si Han naturally agreed enthusiastically, thinking that since her fans had given her so much support and encouragement, she should give them something tangible in return.
As for Da Bao, he initially didn’t pay much attention to this group. But as it grew and as Si Han’s interest in it visibly increased, he started to feel a bit hostile toward this group termed as "Lions."
One day, after the Ji family of five finished their dinner and gathered to chat, sip tea, and watch TV, Si Han was engrossed in her iPad, laughing occasionally, which drew the attention of the rest of the Ji family members.
Initially, Da Bao just glared, but eventually, he realized whether he rolled his eyes or glared, he was completely ignored by the girl Nuonuo.
Being ignored, Da Bao was thoroughly angered, reached out, and snatched her iPad away. Nuonuo, startled, looked up at him before lunging to get it back.
But with her height of one meter seventy-odd, in the Ji Family, she only had an advantage over Le Tong. In front of the tall Da Bao, she was rather small, so lunging was akin to delivering a lamb into the lion’s mouth.
"Brother, give me back my iPad, I’m reading the comments!"
Nuonuo struggled in Da Bao’s arms, trying to retrieve her iPad, but Da Bao wasn’t about to let her have her way, holding the iPad high with one hand while turning her face towards him with the other.
"Girl, from now on, no browsing Weibo or Tieba when you’re home!"
Nuonuo pouted unhappily, "Brother, how can you do this? The fans support me so much, I can’t just ignore them!"
Da Bao was also unhappy, "So you prefer to ignore us for these fans?"
Nuonuo was very upset, "I didn’t!"
Da Bao leaned over and stuffed the iPad into the cabinet behind him, "Otherwise, I’ll have Fangfang get someone to manage your Weibo and Tieba accounts for you."
Nuonuo was even more upset, "Brother, how can you do this?"
Da Bao held her shoulders and looked straight into her eyes, "Girl, tell me, are they more important, or is family more important?"
Without thinking, Nuonuo replied, "Of course you are more important! But I can’t ignore them either. They treat me well unconditionally, I have to respond to them occasionally."
"In school or on your way you’re always keeping up with them. Then, you’re Si Han. But when you’re home, you’re Ji Sihan, our family, so your time now should belong to us, not them."
Da Bao’s words left Nuonuo speechless.
Dejectedly, she let out an "Oh," and snuggled quietly in Da Bao’s arms, watching TV idly.
Little Master Xiao Bao, always eager to stir up trouble, saw the two ceasefire and stood up with a smile, handing the TV remote to Da Bao while mimicking a reporter’s posture.
"Comrade Ji Dabao, may I ask how it feels to be jealous of so many people?"
Da Bao glared at him hard and kicked him in the butt, "You brat, just wait and see when you fall in love, how we topple your plans. You’ve got a lot of embarrassing history, be careful or I might expose your stuff like wetting your pants or nearly losing your nose diving!"
Little Bao snorted, "Hmph, any girl who can’t tolerate that isn’t qualified to enter our family, right?"
Then he looked at Le Tong, who had been watching the spectacle but wisely avoiding the fray, "Mommy, am I right?"
Le Tong chuckled and shook her head, "I can only say, as long as you’re happy, I don’t want to be the evil mother-in-law!"
