Chapter 121: Bonus Chapter

What Steve never expected at this moment was that this decision to limit production to 10 pieces globally would actually rapidly trigger such a strong subsequent effect.

First of all, when Lan Ying routinely video-called her son Pei Shuo at night, she saw Pei Shuo earnestly drawing something in his notebook.

“This is Xueyan wearing a raincoat in kindergarten today.”

Faced with Lan Ying’s question, Pei Shuo earnestly emphasized.

And Lan Ying took one look at Pei Shuo’s masterpiece and hesitated to speak, thinking to herself, It’s best if Xueyan never sees this drawing.

Such a beautiful little baby, forcibly turned into a stick figure by Xiao Shuo’s drawing skills.

“But why are there sparkling things on this raincoat? What falls from the sky are raindrops, not diamonds.”

Lan Ying observed for a long time and pointed out a BUG in Pei Shuo’s notebook drawing.

“I didn’t draw it wrong, because Xueyan’s raincoat is exactly like this.”

Unexpectedly, Pei Shuo shook his head and expressed that he was a realist, not an abstract artist.

Diamonds on a raincoat?

While this made Lan Ying subtly suspicious, she suddenly remembered something.

“Xiao Shuo, the raincoat of Xueyan you mentioned, couldn’t be this one, right?”

Lan Ying tentatively showed Pei Shuo the new product push notification from the Masis brand for this season that she had just received today.

Because Lan Ying loved collecting bags when she was young, she naturally became a senior VIC of Masis. Growing up, Pei Shuo had used quite a few various accessories and items Lan Ying obtained from buying bags.

At the most exaggerated point, even the rocking horse in Pei Shuo’s nursery was a furniture accessory from Brand M. It was just that Lan Ying, after focusing on her career, was far less passionate about buying bags than before.

Yet, scrolling all the way to the end of this notification, the single-page large image was impressively that children’s clothing poster of Xueyan holding Charlie and spinning in circles!

Pei Shuo, who was originally sitting calmly and drawing, instantly stood up. He widened his dark eyes and earnestly stared at the poster in his mother’s phone.

“This is Xueyan! And that cat!”

Pei Shuo recognized the beautiful Xueyan and that cat he was forced to shake hands with on the poster with an extremely certain tone!

Lan Ying: !?

Hearing this, Lan Ying was stunned for a moment, then she herself also re-examined this poster.

Don’t say it… Although this little model didn’t show his face, the few strands of milky-white hair scattered inside the hood and this figure and posture, it truly seems to be Xueyan!?

I even thought they specially retouched the little model’s hair color to match the color of the raincoat.

“Did Xueyan become a little model?”

Lan Ying muttered to herself in amazement, thinking this didn’t seem like the Lu family’s style either.

Ever since Simmons, the fashion director of Brand M this season, took office, he had stirred up countless news and hot topics in the fashion world, sparking immense controversy.

For as many people who fanatically endorsed Simmons’s design concepts and hailed him as the new generation’s crazy genius of the Ralph family, there were just as many attacking Simmons’s exaggerated meanness, and even attacking his private life of an Alpha pretending to be an Omega.

Lan Ying had never thought this crazy genius could actually have any connection with the Lu family.

Wait, there might actually be a link. The third son of the Lu family, Lu Li, who rebelliously ran off to the entertainment circle and was exposed recently, is indeed considered part of this circle.

“I want to buy this raincoat, Mom.”

Within the few seconds Lan Ying was deep in thought, Pei Shuo had already turned around, ran over holding his little treasury, and with a “clatter,” dumped it all onto the desk.

Various scattered cards, passbooks, and insurance policies, some given by the Old Master during holidays, and some placed by Lan Ying for Pei Shuo every year.

“…This actually doesn’t require this much. Can you first put away those few cards your grandpa gave you, Xiao Shuo?”

Seeing this, Lan Ying was dumbfounded for a long time before reminding Pei Shuo that this raincoat probably didn’t require bankrupting oneself to buy.

“But I must buy this one.”

Pei Shuo stubbornly emphasized again.

“Mom will ask right away, okay? [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Believe Mom, she will definitely be able to buy it, OK?”

Suddenly receiving an “annual major procurement task” from her son, Lan Ying also earnestly made a promise.

This was a rare request that Xiao Shuo was so obsessed with.

He had never been like this before. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] As his mother, she had to handle this beautifully.

And similar situations naturally occurred in quite a few families in S City this night.

Especially Louis, who had just finished bathing led by the nanny, discovered that the latest season’s push notification his mommy was looking at actually featured Xueyan’s raincoat!

“This is Xueyan’s raincoat, Mommy. This is the raincoat I want—!”

Louis wished he could just reach into the phone and hug Xueyan and the raincoat all the way back home.

“Ah?”

Madam Julia was still looking at this season’s new arrivals with great interest, casually planning to make an appointment with her SA to send them home to try on one by one on some day.

She didn’t expect Louis to pick one out even more excitedly than she did.

Truly worthy of being my son, having unique insights into fashion from a young age.

“Eh, but this raincoat is indeed pretty ah!”

Madam Julia’s aesthetics were absolutely not bad either. Taking one look at this raincoat, then looking at her own handsome Louis nearby, she also became more and more satisfied the more she looked.

If we buy this back and he wears it, wouldn’t it look incredibly suitable? Brand M is finally making children’s clothing? [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] I have to buy it big time.

“And this poster actually features Xueyan…?”

Then isn’t the speed at which this little pear Xueyan “raises his status” even faster than our Lu Li?!

At least back when Lu Li was in the group, the four members of the group were never officially invited to shoot by Brand M, not to mention this push notification is a global new product push.

Even if his full face isn’t shown on this poster and his appearance can’t be seen, putting this level of commercial resources in the child star circle is absolutely considered top-tier.

“But it’s truly very pretty.”

The kind that’s unbelievably dreamy even without showing the face!

“Don’t worry, Mommy will definitely buy it back for our Louis! Your Mommy will make the call right now!”

Madam Julia had already started dialing the phone with full motivation under Louis’s worshipful gaze.

As a leader-level figure in the mommy circle, the things I want, I must get my hands on, okay!?

And the same thing happened to any cub who saw Xueyan’s dreamy raincoat in kindergarten today; there was none who didn’t go home and pester their parents, describing it for a long time and expressing how much they wanted to buy a raincoat exactly like Xueyan’s.

Families that could send their cubs to Princeton more or less belonged to Masis’s target customer base.

These two groups wondrously overlapped just like this, resulting in the several major luxury counters in S City almost having their phones rung off the hook in an instant.

As for how many international clients became interested upon seeing this childlike little raincoat launched for the first time by Masis, that was even more unknowable.

Simmons only knew one thing, which was that as soon as the new product release news, which included this poster he strongly demanded to be added at the last minute, spread out, the contact methods for him, Steve, and the others all blew up.

“Not good, Director Simmons, in just the first hour, the reservation messages received by all major channels have already far exceeded 10 pieces…”

A subordinate with a panicked face knocked on the door of Simmons’s office overnight, only to find Simmons also answering a call, and Secretary Steve standing nearby having just put down his phone.

Even the usually unscrupulous Simmons didn’t have such a cynical attitude while answering the phone this time:

“Yes, yes, definitely leaving a piece hahah, how could I not leave a piece for you, Madam…”

Just which resourceful and powerful noblewoman major client is on the other end? She could actually call Simmons directly to cut in line?!

After hanging up the phone, the physically and mentally exhausted Simmons exchanged a glance with everyone in the office, and then painfully clutched his head.

What to do, the word has already been put out, a total limit of 10 pieces. Now, before the release show has even arrived, the reservations have already exceeded it!

It feels like offending any of them won’t end well…

How should I sort this out when the time comes!?

They can’t possibly just start a brawl at the release show banquet, right? That would be too inelegant!

However, Xueyan, of course, wouldn’t know that this little raincoat on his body actually triggered so many subsequent events.

These few days, Xueyan, who was preparing for the competition very seriously, even under Teacher Ding’s encouragement, performed it once in front of his classmates in advance before the competition to build up his courage.

The result was that all the little friends in the class stared at Xueyan on the stage, speechless. It was a hundred times more effective than Teacher Jiang Xian’s super loud daily order maintenance.

Seeing this effect, Xueyan was actually quite happy.

It means my performance was very in place, that’s why everyone didn’t dare to speak!

“Am I even a bit fiercer than when Teacher Jiang gets angry?”

Xueyan even confirmed it again with Pei Shuo, because Xueyan felt Pei Shuo never spoke empty words.

Pei Shuo pursed his lips, remained silent for a long while, and nodded.

Whatever little tiger Xueyan says is right! So, if Xueyan says he’s very fierce, then he’s very fierce.

Teacher Ding nearby smiled as she saw all this, and didn’t intend to puncture the cub’s little misunderstanding, feeling that letting Xueyan go on stage to compete with such confidence and happiness was already the greatest original intention of the competition.

“See you at the competition venue Xueyan, the teachers will also be waiting there for you in advance.”

As school ended, Teacher Ding Jiaying waved to Xueyan standing beside his parent.

Xueyan also happily waved to the teacher:

“See you at the competition, Teacher Ding!”

Watching this scene, Lu Li also smiled faintly:

“Will you be nervous, Xueyan?”

Hearing this, Xueyan shook his head:

“Not nervous. Because I am a big tiger…”

Xueyan, carried into the car by his brother, quickly also hugged Charlie, who had come to pick him up from school every day these past few days.

“You have to go on stage to perform with me tomorrow, Charlie. Will you be nervous?”

Xueyan mimicked how his brother just asked him, leaning close to Charlie and asking softly.

“Meow—!”

Charlie also meowed loudly, possessing a bit of the domineering aura of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests.

“Very good, this shows our Charlie is also a very amazing little tiger.”

This allowed Xueyan to pat Charlie’s big head with peace of mind.

This scene made Lu Li nearby so charmed that the corners of his mouth couldn’t come down for a long time.

For Xueyan’s competition tomorrow, he had directly booked his styling team to come to the house, aiming to give Xueyan the most perfect competition image.

Moreover, as the competition approached, Lu Huai was also incredibly cocky.

Because Lu Huai, who was originally still depressed that he hadn’t snatched any work, finally realized that Xueyan’s competition was right on his own school’s home turf. Then wasn’t he naturally the biggest cheerleading squad captain!?

Hahaha, when the competition is over, I will carry Xueyan sitting on my shoulders, sprint all the way back to the classroom, and parade around the school to show off. Won’t Wei Zhili and the others die of envy!

This also caused Lu Huai to burst into laughter even while sitting in his seat reading a book these past few days.

“Wei Zhili, I heard Xueyan is really coming for the competition? Real or fake?”

Girls who had heard some rumors through some channels didn’t dare to ask Lu Huai, but secretly came to ask Lu Huai’s childhood friend Wei Zhili.

“Tsk, an event that can make Lu Huai cocky to this extent, besides his brother, what else could it be, may I ask?”

Wei Zhili spun his pen, and tutted out his judgment.

“Actually, I think so too. Lu Huai’s expression is almost exactly the same as his expression during the autumn outing last time when he secretly packed Xueyan in his schoolbag.”

“Wow, you observe so carefully, Xinxin!”

This girl named Xu Xin happened to be the one who asked Lu Huai to deliver the little pastries last time.

The girl had fair skin, wore glasses, and usually had a very shy personality. However, she showed immense passion and patience in the matter of chasing Xueyan, possessing the highest level in the Little Pear forum in the entire class.

Many little pear merchandise items she made and posted on the forum received countless likes.

“Then shouldn’t we do a cheerleading prep in advance?”

Xu Xin mentioned very earnestly.

“That seems to make a lot of sense! Then should we call Lu Huai, this biological brother, together?”

She instantly gained the support of a large group of people around her.

“Lu Huai? Heh, we’re not including him this time! Who told him to dare isolate all of us by himself!”

Wei Zhili, who was forced to use the “Lu Huai is watching you” lock screen for so long and had nowhere to exact revenge, directly made the final decision this time to let this guy Lu Huai “be cocky” by himself!

Let’s see who’s stronger in cheerleading, Lu Huai, or the professional big shots on the forum, hehe.

However, as school was about to end, Lu Huai, carrying his schoolbag and preparing to rush straight home, discovered Wei Zhili and this group of people whispering and discussing who knows what.

To this, Lu Huai sneezed, and then rushed back without paying it any mind.

Heh, I am a genius with a younger brother! It’s quite normal to occasionally have no common language with these guys like Wei Zhili!

By the time Lu Huai arrived home, he found that Xueyan had already hugged the little clothes he would wear the next day in advance and laid them out neatly by the bed.

Charlie also followed suit and carried his little tiger headgear over in his mouth, placing it next to the cat villa.

“Wow, the quality of these little clothes looks quite good. This designer Old Third contacted is indeed not bad.”

Lu Ting, who had been incredibly busy recently, specifically freed up half a day for seeing his sweet cub’s competition the next day. Finally, he had some free time to stop in front of the cub, watching his sweet cub prepare for the competition with great interest.

He felt he was both cute and endearing.

“Mm, there are still several other clothes!”

Xueyan hugged his beloved little tiger performance costume, smiling and introducing them to his dad.

“Ah? What other clothes did you buy, let Papa see?”

Lu Ting looked blankly as his sweet cub opened the wardrobe, only to discover a whole row of new clothes!?

“Wait, didn’t you just go pick up one set of performance costumes last time?”

Lu Ting sized up this wardrobe full of pretty new clothes, simply unable to imagine how well-behaved his sweet cub would look wearing these!

“Oh my, Eldest Young Master and the others brought them all home together last time. They fully packed two trunks of the cars, and even said they took quite a few photos. They even expedited a photo album over tonight.”

Auntie Cheng chuckled and explained, yet successfully causing both Dad and Lu Huai, who had just arrived at the door, to change their expressions.

Why didn’t we know!?

Are we not members of this family?

“What photo album, holy crap, let me see, let me see!”

Lu Huai was the first to rush over.

“Uh, Young Master Lu Huai, please wait a moment. I will unwrap the packaging and bring it over.”

Auntie Cheng was startled by this commotion and hurriedly went to get it.

Photo album?

Xueyan was also very curious.

They saw Auntie Cheng holding a super large package. After opening it, inside was a giant box printed with the Masis LOGO, packaged like a perfect gift box.

After unwrapping three layers inside and out, what came out before the photo album was actually a greeting card.

【The most meaningful gift for my most beloved little angel muse, hoping to have the chance to personally record every moment of your growth, wishing you a victorious start in tomorrow’s competition~ [Heart] ——Designer Brother Simmons [Finger Heart]】

Lu Ting / Lu Huai: …?!

Before Xueyan could curiously stand on tiptoe and lean his little head over, Dad Lu Ting, with an ashen face, had already raised this greeting card to a height Xueyan couldn’t see with a “smack.”

Xueyan: ?

Xueyan looked at his papa in confusion.

“Papa, what is written on it?”

“…Nothing is written on it.”

Lu Ting gripped this greeting card tightly, already doubting exactly what kind of damn perverted designer Old Third and the others had found.

I have never received such an unlucky package in my life!

“Blacklist this address from now on, throw anything received directly away.”

Lu Ting instructed Auntie Cheng with disgust.
