Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 29.2: — Safekeeping

Lin Cheng took Lin Momo back to the house they’ve been living in for the past week to clean and pack their luggage, then they went to the landlady to return the key and thank her for all her help.

The car sent by Chen Yu to pick them up didn’t arrive until the afternoon.

Standing at the alley waiting for the company car, Lin Momo was holding on to a corner of Lin Cheng’s clothes with one hand and happily telling him that when their small restaurant officially opens, they should invite the landlord and landlady, the LPG substation master, as well as Grandma Zhang from the community last week to have dinner there.

It wasn’t until she saw Chen Yu, Zhou Qi, and Wang Xi standing in front of the car that Lin Momo suddenly realized that the recording of the show was over, and her dad… could no longer be her dad.

Lin Momo released her hold on the corner of Lin Cheng’s clothes and stood quietly beside him.

Seeing the father and daughter who successfully struggled to survive in another recording of the [Living With Dad] reality show, Chen Yu felt a little moved, and at the same time, he was more sure of Lin Momo’s performance.

“Momo performed well this time,” Chen Yu said, smiling at Lin Momo.

Originally, he wanted to talk about increasing the compensation to be paid to Lin Momo, but even though Lin Cheng had become a little popular because of the show, they still couldn’t get out of the dismal economic situation, so he had no choice but to table this idea once again.

“Brother Cheng, thank you for your hard work,” Chen Yu said to Lin Cheng this time.

“We brought two cars this time. Brother Cheng, you can get in this car.” Chen Yu then looked at Lin Momo and said, “Momo, you follow Brother Zhou Qi and get on the car behind this one—he is responsible for taking you back home.”

As Chen Yu was speaking, he was also handing Lin Momo’s bag back to her hands.

“Okay…” Taking her real bag and holding it in her arms, Lin Momo nodded and walked over to Zhou Qi’s side obediently.

“Dad, uh…goodbye,” Lin Momo waved her hand to Lin Cheng. She then lowered her head, not letting anyone notice the little bit of sadness on her face at the moment.

“Goodbye.”

Lin Momo followed Zhou Qi and walked towards the second car.

About midway, Lin Momo suddenly stopped.

“Wait a minute,” Lin Momo said to Zhou Qi, then turned back and ran towards Lin Cheng again.

Looking at the little girl running towards him, Lin Cheng’s eyes moved slightly.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Cheng asked.

Lin Momo squatted down, found a small cloth purse from the bottom of her luggage, and handed it to Lin Cheng.

“This. Can you keep it for me for a while?” Then, Lin Momo explained, “This is my tuition money and living expenses for the next semester. If I lose it, that would be the end of it.”

Lin Momo dared not take it with her back home.

This weekend would be when the community would give assistance money to her grandma, and Zhang Xiaoqiang would definitely come home to ask for money. Lin Momo was worried that the money would be snatched away by him if she brought it back with her.

Maybe it was because she knew that Lin Cheng was really her father, or maybe she felt that Lin Cheng was a good person during their days of getting along, but Lin Momo instinctively trusted Lin Cheng.

Although Lin Cheng was a little surprised by Lin Momo’s actions, seeing the serious look on the little girl’s face, Lin Cheng nodded, “Yes.”

Lin Cheng took the cloth purse from Lin Momo’s hand and put it in his pocket. He promised, “I will keep it for you temporarily so that you won’t lose it.”

Hearing this, Lin Momo smiled and said, “Thank you.”

When Lin Momo was about to turn around and run to Zhou Qi again, she was caught by Lin Cheng to stop.

Lin Cheng asked Lin Momo to find a pen and paper from her school bag and wrote down his phone number for her.

“You can call this number to reach me,” Lin Cheng said. Then, thinking that Lin Momo might not have a cell phone, he asked, “Do you have a landline or a cell phone at home?”

“No…” Lin Momo shook her head

Originally, a public welfare organization for the elderly had given her grandma a mobile phone, but Zhang Xiaoqiang snatched it and sold it for money.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng considered for a while, found another mobile phone from his luggage and handed it to Lin Momo.

“If you need anything, you can call me.” Lin Cheng said.

This mobile phone was used by Lin Cheng for work. Except for a few important callers, very few people know the number of this mobile phone.

In fact, it was not appropriate at all for Lin Cheng to give Lin Momo this mobile phone even temporarily, but at that moment, Lin Cheng did it without thinking too much about it.

“Take her home safely,” Lin Cheng told Zhou Qi who had followed Lin Momo back.

“Okay, Brother Cheng, don’t worry,” Zhou Qi nodded and left again with Lin Momo.

“No need to send me off,” Lin Cheng now said to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu looked at Lin Cheng in surprise and asked, “Brother Cheng, you won’t take our car back?”

“No,” Lin Cheng glanced at the message on his phone and said, his voice low and deep, “I have something to do later.”

As soon as Lin Cheng finished speaking, another car drove up to the alley and stopped not far from Chen Yu’s car.

Zhou Ming got out of the car and walked quickly to Lin Cheng.

“Eldest Young Master.”

Zhou Ming greeted Lin Cheng, but his eyes peeked behind and around Lin Cheng, as if he was looking for something.

Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows at this behavior and asked, “What are you looking for?”

“That child…”

Zhou Ming met Lin Cheng’s slightly cold gaze and realized that he was getting more unrestrained, so he quickly and cautiously closed his mouth.

“It’s the old master…” Zhou Ming began, ready to spout as instructed.

Before Zhou Ming could even finish speaking, Lin Cheng already took the words from his mouth and asked with raised eyebrows, “Did he almost faint this time because of high blood pressure? Or did he have chest pains, flustered breathlessness, and maybe he will die soon?”

Zhou Ming’s words froze on his lips: “…”

Every time the old man wanted to ‘trick’ the young master to go back, he almost always used these two reasons, and Zhou Ming was now too embarrassed to say it.

“It seems that he can’t sleep at night and he hasn’t been sleeping well at all . Eldest Young Master, you should go back home and take a look at the old master’s condition,” Zhou Ming lowered his head and made up a reason.

Although, this was not entirely a lie. The old man has indeed slept very late recently.

But the reason was not insomnia but to watch the livestream.

Lin Cheng glanced at Zhou Ming and did not comment on what the other party said. However, he still got into the car with him.

… …

Watching Lin Cheng get into the car in front and leave, Chen Yu and Wang Xi behind him were almost shocked.

“Brother Cheng’s car looks… not cheap, right?” Wang Xi asked.

“At least this number.” Chen Yu raised several fingers.

And he didn’t tell Wang Xi that the really expensive thing about the car might not be the car itself, but the license plate.

Seeing the number gestured by Chen Yu, Wang Xi’s eyes widened, “Damn… No way! Is Brother Cheng really so rich?!” Wang Xi asked incredulously.

She always thought that Lin Cheng was just a washed-up artist, but she never expected…

“Did that person just now call Brother Cheng ‘Young Master’?” In this day and age, those who could still be called that were either delusional or truly super wealthy.

Judging from the car that came to pick up Lin Cheng just now, it was obvious that he should be the latter.

Not only Wang Xi, but Chen Yu was also really surprised this time.

The apartment that Lin Cheng lived in was not cheap, and ordinary third- and fourth-tier stars might not be able to afford it. However, Lin Cheng, a has-been artist who hasn’t made an appearance for a long time, still seemed to be making a lot of money and was doing well.

Therefore, Chen Yu had been guessing that Lin Cheng himself might be a wealthy boss, but he never thought that Lin Cheng would be so rich!

But if this was the case, then why did Lin Cheng allow himself to be blackened in the first place?

Could there be some secrets about it that he didn’t know?

Chen Yu could only stay puzzled.

… …

On the other side, Lin Cheng has once again returned to the Lin family.

Before the car even reached the gate, Lin Cheng could already see Old Master Lin—looking completely hale and hearty—standing by the entrance.

T/N: This chapter officially ends the second week of livestream. Wooo! The coming chapters will feature little Momo and Lin Cheng dealing with their real life outside of the reality show. Exciting times ahead.
