Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 460: Praised by My Wife!

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Praised by My Wife!

Song Yuchen withdrew his little short arm after hearing his dad’s words, and the little expression on his face became even more aggrieved.

Ye Zhenzhen turned around and glared at Song Jinze, "He’s still a child, can’t you be a bit more tolerant towards him?"

Song Jinze was at a loss for words, "Me?"

When had he ever been intolerant?

Zhenzhen picked up Xiao Chen, "Didn’t you ever get picked up as a child?"

In the afternoon, he had been teased by that damn Song Jinze, and now he had found an opening to get back at him.

Song Jinze: ...

The mother and son left the room, and only then did Xiao Chen bury his little head in his mother’s neck, quietly saying, "Mom is right, when dad was little, he must have been held by someone too!

Hmph, now that dad is grown up and doesn’t need hugs anymore, he says this to me; it’s not fair at all!"

The more he talked, the more aggrieved he felt.

Song Jinze frowned, "Song Yuchen, let dad hug you."

Song Yuchen shook his head, no, he didn’t want it!

He wanted to be held by mom because he wanted to whisper secrets to her, not really wanting a hug.

[Song Yuchen: Mom smells good, I want mom to hold me!]

[Most kids cling to their moms when they’re little, right?]

[Xiao Chen was also clinging to President Song just now, but President Song is too aloof. Now that Zhenzhen is holding the child, he wants to hold him too, haha!]

[President Song is just worried about his wife, not really wanting to hold the child!]

However, before Song Yuchen could whisper his secret to Ye Zhenzhen, he heard the voice of Gu Xiaoran, "Xiao Chen!"

Gu Xiaoran ran in from outside the yard, "Uncle and Auntie, can I have dinner here tonight?"

Song Jinze replied promptly, "Of course."

He had intentionally cooked a bit more when making the instant noodles earlier.

Song Yuchen asked, "Brother Ranran, why are you all dirty?"

Ye Zhenzhen put down Song Yuchen and went forward to touch Gu Xiaoran’s cheek, softly asking, "Ranran, did you fall down on your way here?"

Gu Xiaoran declared calmly, "My dad and mom were arguing, and I fell while feeding the ducks with them just now, it’s nothing!"

The way this kid talked about it was as casual as saying he had seen the neighbors arguing on his way over.

Ye Zhenzhen had no interest in An Xi and Gu Liangjun, not wanting to ask or interfere.

As for Song Jinze, needless to say, it was none of his concern.

[Yes, yes, An Xi and Gu Liangjun are arguing, and Gu Xiaoran has no dinner to eat!]

[The more I see Gu Xiaoran, the more my heart aches for the kid.]

[You know, Gu Liangjun and An Xi should just drop out of the show, I really feel so sorry for the kid!]

Inside the dining room.

Song Yuchen sipped the soup from the noodles, looking thoroughly content, "Ah~ so this is the taste of instant noodles, yum~"

Gu Xiaoran had never eaten instant noodles before, either. He nodded in agreement, "Instant noodles taste so good, my grandma never let me eat them..."

"Are you worried that if you eat instant noodles, you’ll like rice even less?" Song Yuchen’s words carried a teasing tone.

Gu Xiaoran didn’t mind and nodded, "I think you’re right, but I find these noodles really tasty. When I get home, I want to eat them every day."

Ye Zhenzhen, listening to the two kids’ exaggerations, immediately explained, "It’s okay to eat instant noodles once in a while, but you shouldn’t have them every day. And the good taste is not because of the instant noodles; it’s because your uncle’s cooking skills are good that he can make the noodles so delicious."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuchen turned his eyes toward Song Jinze, his little face filled with confusion; but dad doesn’t know how to cook at all!

Last time, he had to follow instructions on a tablet to make breakfast for mom, and this time, without a tablet, he managed to make such delicious noodles; he thought it was all thanks to the instant noodles.

Because with instant noodles, you don’t have to add any seasoning yourself; there’s a premade seasoning packet.

The man, suddenly praised by his wife for his cooking skills, was eating his noodles with a calm, elegant demeanor, also quite pleasing to the eye.

However, being praised by the woman he liked, he felt very comfortable inside, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up slightly.

Gu Xiaoran nodded, then smiled at Song Jinze, "Uncle, you’re really amazing. The noodles you cooked are so tasty!"

Even better than his own dad and mom!

At that moment, Gu Xiaoran also began to envy Xiao Chen; having such wonderful parents who would cook for him.

Song Jinze was almost done with his bowl of noodles. He put down his chopsticks and said indifferently, "Mm, there’s more in the pot if it’s not enough."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle!"

[I want to eat noodles cooked by President Song too!]

[Gu Xiaoran’s words have become so sweet, I feel like I don’t even recognize him.]

[A man who eats from others is timid; he comes to Xiao Chen’s home for meals every day, how can he afford not to sweet-talk? After all, it’s the parents’ fault!]

[You guys watch the kids; I’m all for President Song and Zhenzhen. I noticed that when Zhenzhen praised President Song, he smiled; this man is so charming!]

After dinner, upon hearing Xiao Chen say they were going to bring the cows home, Gu Xiaoran wanted to go with them, but when he got to the stable, the bodyguards who secretly followed had already taken the cows back to the stable, so he went home on his own.

Song Yuchen was a bit down at first, but after hearing Ye Zhenzhen say there was still tomorrow and the day after, the little guy cheered up again.

...

The Gu family of Jiang City.

Madam Gu spent the day dealing with various matters and then fixated on watching the live stream of her son and grandson. She saw An Xi and Gu Liangjun arguing over feeding ducks and cooking, and she was so anxious at home that she started slapping her thighs.

"This An Xi is outright useless!"

An Xi initially thought she could avoid feeding ducks by faking a fall, but Gu Liangjun didn’t intend to let her off, keeping her busy with one thing or another along with Gu Xiaoran.

The two of them, both inept at household chores, were slow-moving and ended up getting into an argument when it came time to cook dinner.

An Xi thought of the hot pot base she had bought at the supermarket during the day; they could just cook some vegetables with it for dinner and make do with that.

She had no intention of cooking herself and faux-generously ordered Gu Liangjun, "Honey, I bought hot pot base, let’s just cook some veggies tonight and make do with it."

Gu Liangjun was tired from a whole afternoon of carrying feed and feeding ducks. Hearing they were going to have boiled vegetables for dinner, and that An Xi implied he should be the one to cook, he was infuriated.

"Make do? You want me to cook the boiled vegetables myself? An Xi, aren’t you a woman? Can’t you properly make a meal for our father and son?"

Gu Liangjun was both tired and hungry; he didn’t want to move, and he definitely didn’t want to eat boiled vegetables.

An Xi felt the same way and seeing Gu Liangjun getting worked up, she thought she’d let him vent and that would be the end of it.

But Gu Liangjun became more and more agitated, and even started to dwell on An Xi’s odd behavior of the past two days. Thinking about how she had abandoned the child in town to meet some man, his frustration spiraled out of control.

He snapped at her, and she retorted, and just like that, they started quarreling back and forth.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoran naturally took the opportunity to slip away and find Xiao Chen and the others...
