Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 413

Nanfeng Island.

The temperature here is completely different from that of Jiangcheng, where it’s still winter, but on Nanfeng Island it feels like Blooming Summer.

Ye Zhenzhen’s family was the first to arrive at Nanfeng Island. As they disembarked, Xiaowen and Xiao Yi were already waiting on the shore. Xiaowen wore a beach maxi dress, its hem fluttering in the sea breeze.

A shallow smile graced her face, and her long hair was casually pinned up behind her head with a beautiful African daisy hairpin. She couldn’t help feeling secretly delighted that the first to arrive was Ye Zhenzhen’s family.

Having interacted with Ye Zhenzhen for so long, she now genuinely regarded Zhenzhen as a sister, wishing for Sister Zhenzhen to have the best in everything.

Xiao Yi sported sunglasses, dressed in a white floral shirt paired with light pink beach trousers and slippers. His face, already devilishly attractive, shone with an effortless charm in the sunlight.

"Uncle Xiao Yi!"

"It’s Uncle Xiao Yi, wow!"

As Xiao Yi’s number one little fan, Xiao Chen, upon recognizing that it was indeed Xiao Yi, excitedly ran towards him with his small short legs.

Ye Zhenzhen had not expected Xiao Yi to actually take part in this variety show. A couple of days ago, she stumbled upon a Weibo post and saw that many comments on the trending topics hoped for Xiao Yi’s participation in the kid’s show, thinking it was just a joke made by netizens, never anticipating that Xiao Yi would truly come.

Xiaowen greeted Ye Zhenzhen, "Sister Zhenzhen!"

Ye Zhenzhen and Xiaowen shared a knowing smile, a depth of understanding that only the two of them could appreciate.

Seeing Xiaowen’s state today, Ye Zhenzhen also felt much more at ease.

[My goodness! Is that really Xiao Yi?]

[As a little fan of Xiao Yi, I don’t think Xiao Chen would mistake his idol.]

[Ah, Uncle Xiao Yi! He actually came!]

[Who knew, in just a moment, I got so excited I choked on my own saliva! This is incredible, oh my!]

[Lemon Channel really spoils its fans, inviting exactly who they ask for, no pretense at all!]

Xiao Yi walked over with long strides and scooped the little guy into his arms, "You little rascal, hasn’t Uncle told you before? Don’t call me brother, call me uncle!"

Xiao Chen placed his little hand over his mouth, his milky face showing a hint of apology, "Aow~ Sorry, I forgot, it must be because Uncle is too handsome!"

This statement from the little guy had everyone present bursting into laughter.

Xiao Yi, unable to resist, leaned in to nuzzle the adorable boy. He looked at the approaching Song Jinze and asked the little one another question, "So tell Uncle, am I handsomer than your dad?"

Xiao Chen, nestled in Xiao Yi’s arms, sneakily glanced at his own dad and then at Xiao Yi, his eyes betraying a complex emotion.

"It’s okay, tell the truth."

"Hmm..." After several seconds of contemplation, Xiao Chen leaned in and whispered into Xiao Yi’s ear, "I think you’re as handsome as my dad!"

In reality, Dad was handsomer than Uncle Xiao Yi, but he couldn’t tell the truth. If he did, Uncle Xiao Yi might not be happy, and if Uncle Xiao Yi wasn’t happy, he wouldn’t be either...

Xiao Yi nodded, satisfied with this response. At least the little guy didn’t outright say that Song Jinze was handsomer than him, like he did last time.

Although that was indeed the truth.

[As a fan of Xiao Yi, although the brother is very handsome, to be honest, President Song is even more so!]

[Best Actor Xiao and his little fan, hahaha!]

[Xiao Chen: Although my dad is handsomer than Xiao Yi, I can’t say it, because I like Uncle Xiao Yi!]

Song Jinze looked at Xiao Yi with a profound gaze, "Why are you here?"

Instead of answering Song Jinze’s question, Xiao Yi’s lips curved into a defiant and wicked smile, countering, "Why are you here, big brother?"

"As you can see, I’m here to accompany my wife and child," answered Song Jinze calmly.

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Well, I’m naturally here to work, you’re a guest, and I’m the guest host,"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi looked at Ye Zhenzhen quite frankly and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Sister-in-law!"

When Ye Zhenzhen heard Xiao Yi refer to her in that way, there was a brief moment of confusion, but she quickly caught on and responded naturally, "Hello, I really didn’t expect you to come."

There had been a lot of idle chatter on the internet recently, so hearing Xiao Yi openly addressing Song Jinze as big brother and her as sister-in-law was obviously his way of clarifying the relationship between the three of them to the public.

Greetings like this were a hundred times stronger than clarifying things via Weibo or holding a press conference.

Being in the same industry, she understood all too well.

"I’ve not been too busy lately, and since I like kids and my upcoming movie is also related to children, it was perfect timing when Lemon Channel invited me to come and get a feel for it."

[Holy shit, holy shit! What does this mean? Xiao Yi is calling Zhenzhen sister-in-law?]

[Xiao Yi knows President Song? And Xiao Yi had just said he was friends with Zhenzhen?]

[It looks like it’s true, the way Xiao Yi talks to President Song, I’d bet they’ve known each other for over ten years.]

[Look, look, who was it that said Xiao Yi and Zhenzhen might be a thing?]

[That’s right, our Brother has always said he’s just friends with Sister Zhenzhen!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, how quickly the fans of Xiao Yi have changed their tune, now they’re calling her Sister Zhenzhen?]

"Little guy, do you really like Uncle?" Xiao Yi asked Xiao Chen, who he was holding.

Xiao Chen nodded, "Like."

"See, the kids all really like me, and that’s the reason Lemon Channel invited me here." While saying this, Xiao Yi looked towards Song Jinze with a face full of pride.

Song Jinze: ...

Everyone around: ...

[Exactly, exactly, Best Actor Xiao, you’re the most charming, everyone loves you!]

[Hahaha! Suddenly I feel like Best Actor Xiao is a bit simple-minded after stepping away from the big screen!]

Soon, the other three families had also all arrived at Nanfeng Island.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen’s family of three had already arrived, Gu Liangjun immediately shed the gloomy demeanor he had aboard the ship and approached Song Jinze with a handshake, "President Song, nice to see you, I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon!"

He really hadn’t expected Song Jinze to come at all.

Song Jinze’s expression was dispassionate, without a hint of warmth, as he responded with a handshake, "Hmm."

He simply had no interest in engaging with Gu Liangjun, extending his hand only out of courtesy.

Apart from Gu Liangjun, everyone else was surprised to see Xiao Yi here.

Yang Honghui chuckled, "How come you’re here, too, lad?"

Xiao Yi: "You’re the director, wherever you go, naturally I’ll follow!"

Ji Ziqian had known Xiao Yi for a few years, and their relationship was quite friendly. After the old friends greeted each other, Xiao Yi turned his attention to Ji Yunyun, "Is this your daughter?"

This was the first time he had seen Ji Yunyun, so taking the opportunity while holding Xiao Chen, he squatted down to greet the little girl, "Hey there, little one, hello!"

Ji Yunyun, who was already sniffling, started bawling even louder upon seeing Xiao Yi...

"Why are you crying? Tell Uncle what’s wrong, and I’ll help you solve it."

"Wah...ah..." Ji Yunyun’s crying grew even louder.
