Top-tier star Lu Yanche is a king onstage, but in front of his four-year-old twins, he completely lost his touch.
During a live broadcast of the variety show Dad's All-Round Challenge, he botched his daughter's braids and burned his son's baby food. The two little ones were so unimpressed that the whole internet watched him get roasted. When he failed another task and stood helplessly before the ingredients, his precocious son, Lu Xingrui, calmly pulled out his phone and tapped speakerphone. “Dad needs emergency backup. Sis, you're up.”
His little sister, Lu Xingyue, her braids crooked, immediately leaned into view, looking terribly aggrieved. “Aunts and uncles, can you help us find Mommy? The food Daddy makes... Yueyue's tummy is hungry.”
The moment her babyish voice was heard, the clip went viral. Whose kids were they? Who was their mother? Who could make such a handsome top star look this helpless?
The night the trending topic exploded, Su Yuwan, the award-winning actress who had vanished five years ago, the mysterious woman who retired after being hailed as a legend, suddenly posted on Weibo:
“Be good, Mommy's coming. @Lu Yanche”
One sentence shook the internet to its foundations.
Before anyone could even process this bombshell, three months later the hit family variety show Our Happy Family officially announced its latest lineup. The poster showed Lu Yanche with one arm around the gentle, smiling Su Yuwan and the other holding their giggling twins.
Facing the camera, his gaze tender and his voice filled with unprecedented satisfaction and swagger, he said:
“This time, our family of four will claim every trending topic.”
