Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 156: Hug?

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Hug?

Cheng Zheng naturally felt aggrieved at being mistaken by passersby for Song Jinze’s bodyguard.

Why should he be mistaken for Song Jinze’s bodyguard? He wanted to try and salvage the situation, to turn the tables.

Cheng Zheng strode forward, coming up beside Cheng Jiaming and called out, "Cheng Jiaming, shall Dad hold your hand while we walk?"

Cheng Zheng figured if he held his son’s hand, he wouldn’t be mistaken for a bodyguard anymore.

Cheng Jiaming, currently led by Song Yuchen toward the next exhibit "The Colorful World of Life" in the Science Museum, had no time to pay attention to his father.

Without a second thought, he refused, "Dad, you don’t run, you’d better not hold on to me. Just walk slowly by yourself, I’m going with Song Yuchen to check out the front..."

No sooner had the little guy finished speaking, than he ran ahead following Song Yuchen.

Cheng Zheng caught up, "Dad will run with you. Shall we hold hands?"

Cheng Jiaming turned his head disdainfully, "No, thanks. I can’t run fast holding your hand.

Song Yuchen, wait for me!"

The two bodyguards, seeing the children getting farther away, also followed suit to catch up, as their main task for the day was to ensure the safety of the two little ones.

However, as Cheng Zheng ran, he realized things were even more off. He was running, the bodyguards were running.

Without even holding Cheng Jiaming’s hand, running like this...

What’s the difference between him and a bodyguard?

Turning his head, he glanced back at Song Jinze, who was walking towards him with a leisurely pace.

Cheng Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Are you here to look after your son? He’s run out of sight, and you’re not chasing after him, just taking a stroll here?"

Song Jinze cast a faint glance towards the bodyguards following the kids and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, "Didn’t the bodyguards chase after them?"

Cheng Zheng: ...

At that moment, Cheng Zheng felt humiliated by his own actions!

After being outmatched twice in a row, Cheng Zheng began to silently console himself: he was definitely not Song Jinze’s bodyguard.

Although that’s what he thought, his mood was affected the entire day.

It wasn’t good.

...

This weekend, the six members of both families, except for Cheng Zheng, were all very happy, especially the little Song Yuchen.

Song Jinze had always been busy with work and had almost no time to take him out, so his weekends were usually spent with the elders of the Song family.

After Ye Zhenzhen married his dad, now Ye Zhenzhen also took him out, his dad also took him out, and because of Ye Zhenzhen, he even made a close little friend, Cheng Jiaming.

Therefore, during these two days of the weekend, Song Yuchen was very excited and felt an unprecedented happiness.

Little Cheng Jiaming felt the same, as the two kids were inseparable during the two days.

On Sunday afternoon, after lunch together, Su Xi and her side planned to take Cheng Jiaming back to Jincheng.

Cheng Zheng and Song Jin were set to go on a business trip to Country Y.

Because they had reached a cooperation agreement for the Ancheng project, and for the corporate anniversary, the overseas branch executives brought a new project, similar to the Ancheng project, which just so required Cheng Zheng’s presence.

And for this cooperation, Song Jin offered a slightly higher share than last time, after hearing such terms, Cheng Zheng’s mood was somewhat relieved.

Thinking about it, Song Jinze was somewhat conscientious and not entirely unworthy of the day he spent being his bodyguard.

At this thought, Cheng Zheng was surprised by himself, how had he come to accept the role of Song Jinze’s bodyguard without question!

Initially, Song Jinze planned to go on a business trip after Ye Zhenzhen took Xiao Chen to participate in the show. However, after chatting with Cheng Zheng last night, he learned there were some family affairs at the Jincheng Su Family that couldn’t be delayed.

So the two of them discussed and decided to head out directly from Jiangcheng, accompanying the senior executives to the overseas branch. This way, Cheng Zheng could also rest easy when he returned from abroad to help Su Xi deal with the family matters.

Su Xi also agreed with the arrangement and saw it as an opportunity to create an illusion for that illegitimate child and her second uncle, making them believe that they were completely unaware of those affairs...

Before boarding the plane, Ye Zhenzhen and Su Xi embraced each other to say goodbye. Su Xi smiled and said, "Next time I visit Jincheng, let’s get together again."

"Mhm, let’s get together next time."

Cheng Jiaming also hugged Song Yuchen, "Song Yuchen, next time, you should come with Aunt Zhenzhen too, okay?"

"Of course, didn’t mom say last night that after we finish participating in the show, she will take me to Jincheng to play with you? And you can come to Jiangcheng to play with me when you have time!"

Cheng Jiaming nodded, "Right, I’ll pick a day with good weather when I come next time, and you show me how to ride horses."

"Deal, it’s a promise."

"It’s a promise, and when you participate in the show, I will watch your program every day too!"

Song Yuchen raised his chin proudly, "Alright, then I’ll allow you to be my second fan."

"Why second? I want to be the first one!" little Cheng Jiaming frowned, finding it hard to accept being the second.

Song Yuchen laughed, "Because the first fan is Shu Siyu, he’s my classmate, and you both are my good friends. Next time you come, I’ll introduce you to him, okay?"

Cheng Jiaming pouted and thought about it. It seemed there was no way around but to compromise, "Alright then."

After pacifying Cheng Jiaming, Song Yuchen looked towards Song Jinze, earnestly asking, "Dad, you’re off on a business trip again. Aren’t you going to give your wife a hug?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

Even though Ye Zhenzhen had been taken aback by Song Yuchen’s astonishing words many times before, she still felt a slight start in her heart each time she was suddenly called out, especially on this occasion.

Want a hug?

And to hug Song Jinze in public like this...

The reason Song Yuchen made such a comment was entirely because Cheng Zheng was holding Su Xi while saying goodbye, and whispering to her about the matters that needed attention regarding the Su Family.

To the two little guys, such a scene represented very intimate relations between the adults, while Song Jinze and Ye Zhenzhen were each standing on their own, as if not even exchanging a word.

Song Jinze’s lips curved into a smile as he raised his hand to touch his son’s head, saying warmly, "Okay, Dad will listen to you, I’ll give mom a hug."

As the man responded to his son, the narrow eyes had unconsciously shifted to Ye Zhenzhen beside him.

Ye Zhenzhen was somewhat taken aback by the man’s response, and as she turned to look at Song Jinze, their gazes collided unintentionally...

Considering the man’s tone a moment ago, Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t help but feel he was rather reluctant.

In fact, she would have rather he said nothing at all; having spoken, it would have been better if he did nothing.

However, in the very next second, her entire body was enveloped by the tall, imposing figure of the man, and as his large hand gentled on her waist, her head came to rest against his chest.

"Take good care of yourself, and if there’s anything you can’t resolve, contact me." His low and magnetically appealing voice poured into her right ear.

Ye Zhenzhen’s slender frame stiffened slightly, feeling the man’s voice to be bewitchingly pleasant, comforting to her.

She replied softly, "Okay."
