Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Outrageous Trending Topic

Shu Siyu felt somewhat dejected after being rejected by Song Yuchen, and the smile on his little face stiffened slightly. He really wanted to go play with Xiao Chen and Ye Zhenzhen.

"Shu Siyu!" Shu Huaiqing walked over and greeted Ye Zhenzhen, "Yuchen’s mom."

Ye Zhenzhen responded with a smile, "Hello, President Shu."

"Shu Siyu, it’s time to go home," Shu Huaiqing said to his son.

Shu Siyu pouted pitifully, looking at Ye Zhenzhen, "Aunt Zhenzhen, is it because you are not my stepmom that you can’t take me to play with you?"

[Hahaha! What a sudden question!]

[Is that guy the kid’s dad? He’s so handsome!]

Ye Zhenzhen:

Shu Huaiqing almost choked, and upon seeing the camera filming nearby, he quickly took Shu Siyu’s hand and said firmly, "Shu Siyu, Aunt Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen are recording a show. Don’t cause any trouble."

Song Yuchen batted his dark, bright eyes, "Of course! Ye Zhenzhen is my mom, and only I can go out to play with her. We’re going to record a program. Shu Siyu, it’s not appropriate for you to follow!"

Ye Zhenzhen patted Shu Siyu’s little head, "Xiaoyu, be good. Next time Auntie goes out to play with Xiao Chen, she’ll bring you along, okay?"

This time, since they were recording a program, she naturally couldn’t bring Shu Siyu with her.

Upon hearing there would be a next time, Shu Siyu immediately smiled, "Okay, then I’ll wait to go out to play with Aunt Zhenzhen next time."

Shu Huaiqing also smiled at Ye Zhenzhen, "Sorry, Xiaoyu, he..."

...likes you so much! The rest of the sentence, Shu Huaiqing didn’t say aloud.

Ye Zhenzhen stood up and said with a smile, "Both he and Xiao Chen are very adorable."

Suddenly praised by his mom, Song Yuchen happily extended his hand to Shu Siyu, "Shu Siyu, bye-bye. When I come back, we’ll play together, okay?"

At the same time, the little guy also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thankful that Ye Zhenzhen hadn’t mentioned bringing Shu Siyu along.

Shu Siyu: "Okay, we’ll play together when you come back!"

Shu Huaiqing, holding Shu Siyu’s hand, pursed his lips and then said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Yuchen’s mom, have a smooth shooting."

Shu Huaiqing knew Ye Zhenzhen had been injured during the last program recording. Even though he knew that nothing was possible between them, he still couldn’t help but express the concern he felt deep inside.

"Hmm, thank you for your concern, President Shu."

After picking up Xiao Chen, Ye Zhenzhen still had to go home to pack, as per the program crew’s instructions, which were to have the mother and child pack together after reuniting and then proceeding to the airport.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast room erupted into a flurry of discussions due to Shu Siyu and Shu Huaiqing’s recent appearance:

[Speaking of which, with President Shu being so handsome and caring towards Ye Zhenzhen, actually, Ye Zhenzhen should consider marrying President Shu. That way, Xiao Chen and this handsome little guy could call her stepmom!]

[To the comment above, that’s quite a bold idea, but I like it, hahaha!]

[Watching this, I can’t help but feel sad for Ye Zhenzhen, sigh. Married to a rich guy, but... he’s an old man!]

[Why feel sad? On the contrary, I think Ye Zhenzhen is smart. How many years can an old man live? Once he’s gone, she’ll have a cute Xiao Chen, money, and a son. How awesome is that!]

[Awesome or not is beside the point, let’s talk about President Shu. I think Ye Zhenzhen could totally consider remarrying, hahaha, especially since President Shu’s son is also very well-behaved, and the most important thing is the man is genuinely handsome!]

[Right, right, I also think Ye Zhenzhen could consider it!]

Soon, the first trending search on "Mom’s Companion" appeared, albeit a bit outrageous;

#Is Ye Zhenzhen Remarried or Inheriting an Inheritance?#

Below the trending search, internet users each expressed their own opinions, with some feeling sorry for Ye Zhenzhen while even more were envious of her.

After all, becoming a mother without pain, having a chauffeur-driven luxury car when going out, and an adorable son—just these simple conditions alone could knock out a large swath of ordinary people...

...

An Xi and Gu Xiaoran, the mother and son duo, were the latest additions to the livestream, which drew in quite a crowd.

By now, An Xi had already picked up Gu Xiaoran with Madam Gu.

[It’s An Xi, I’m seeing An Xi’s son for the first time!]

[As long as it’s not Wu Yuerou and her tyrannical son, I’m good. Seeing kids like An Ruilin really makes me not want to have children.]

[Wu Yuerou can’t come anymore, there’s insider info that she’s been put on ice.]

[Really? Hahaha, I heard recently that Wu Yuerou hasn’t appeared on Lemon Channel variety shows, and I’m just so happy!]

Gu Xiaoran was thin, and would be six in two months; he was currently in the senior class of kindergarten.

At this moment, the boy was lying on the living room sofa watching TV while Madam Gu sat beside him, spoon-feeding him.

"Eat up, Ranran, what if there’s no food on the plane later? Shall Grandma get you a piece of cheesecake first? Let’s fill your belly."

Without looking up, Gu Xiaoran refused, "I don’t want to eat anymore, don’t disturb me while I’m watching cartoons."

Although her grandson disdained her, Madam Gu chuckled and stroked his cheek, "Grandma will keep you company for a while since you’re going out soon, and Grandma won’t see you for several days."

Gu Xiaoran ignored his grandmother’s words.

After a while, Gu Xiaoran burst into laughter while watching TV and called out to An Xi, "Take my Transformer with us."

An Xi was packing things into a suitcase and replied, "Son, you can’t bring toys to the show oh, if you bring them, the aunties from the show crew will take them away."

She had watched the first episode of the kiddie show and knew the rules set by the show crew, so she wouldn’t pack snacks and toys to take up space in the suitcase.

Besides, her son usually didn’t eat much.

Gu Xiaoran suddenly stood up on the sofa and shouted at An Xi, "I don’t care, I want to take it with me, An Xi, did you hear that!"

Madam Gu held her grandson and sat him down, then turned and smiled at An Xi, "An Xi, just pack a small one for Ranran."

"Ranran, is it okay if Grandma tells An Xi to pack a small one for you?"

Gu Xiaoran nodded, "Okay!"

"Mom, the show crew has rules against bringing toys," An Xi said, her voice tinged with resignation.

A flicker of impatience crossed Madam Gu’s eyes, "Just pack a small one for Ranran to play with on the plane, and hand it over to them once they collect it."

[Seeing An Xi’s son, why can’t I like him? Doesn’t he call people by their names when talking to them? An Xi is his biological mother, right?]

[An Xi is his biological mother, for sure. This one has been spoiled rotten. Just look at An Xi’s mother-in-law, not minding when Gu Xiaoran calls her by name, really speechless!]

[Just from watching briefly, compared to An Ruilin, he might be even worse!]

[And there’s An Xi’s mother-in-law—she seems tough and obviously indulges the child too much.]

[Favoring the younger generation is always like this.]
