Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 473

Chapter 473: 473

On the way back, the sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain at any moment.

In the distance, cows on the field embankment were grazing, and the little guy suddenly remembered something important. He stealthily glanced at his dad’s expression and then at his mom.

After walking a few steps, he reached out and tugged at Ye Zhenzhen’s hand, "Mommy~"

Song Jinze followed behind him and asked, "Song Yuchen, do you want Mommy to carry you again?"

Song Yuchen was taken aback, not expecting his dad to say that at all, and quickly shook his head, "No!"

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Song Jinze, "He’s still a child; don’t always speak to him in such a cold tone."

Song Jinze was at a loss, "I... Do I?"

Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyes, mimicking the way Song Jinze had just looked at Xiao Chen, and said in a cold voice, "What do you think?"

For a moment, even the domineering and indifferent President Song didn’t know what to say.

Did he really do that?

"The little guy is still small now, and we can still carry him. Wait till he grows a bit more, and he might not even want you to carry him," Ye Zhenzhen said and then embraced the little guy in her arms.

Song Yuchen, feeling backed by his mom, stealthily peeked at his dad and then hid in his mom’s shoulders and giggled.

He hadn’t initially wanted to be held by his mom; he just wanted to hold her hand and tell her that he wanted to ride a cow.

Unexpectedly, his dad had interpreted it as wanting a hug, but now that his mom was holding him like this, he was very happy. Hiding here by his mom and whispering secrets, his dad couldn’t hear them!

[Wow~ So this is what the CEO is like!]

[Although they haven’t done anything, just watching this family of three makes me feel so sweet, why is that?]

[No matter how formidable a man is outside, when he comes home to the wife he loves, he’s still got to indulge and pamper her!]

However, before Song Yuchen could even whisper his secret, he heard his dad say, "Xiao Chen, come here, let Daddy carry you. You’re so big, you’ll tire Mommy out."

Song Jinze’s dark eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the giggling little guy, thinking it’d be better if he did the carrying.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuchen pondered for a few seconds, then reluctantly let go of Ye Zhenzhen’s shoulders and reached out his little arms to Song Jinze, promptly switching who was holding him.

As he was about to walk away, he quickly called out, "Daddy!"

Song Jinze responded, "What is it?"

[President Song’s response now is clearly softer than the tone he had just used when talking to Xiao Chen, he really does listen to his wife!]

[Nonsense, Sister Zhenzhen said it, so how could he not listen, haha!]

[I’ve converted from hater to fan, every time I see this scene, I deeply regret ever bashing Ye Zhenzhen in the past, claiming her relationship with her husband was fake... I was blind!]

[Then you should thank our Sister Zhenzhen for bringing her husband and child on the show, allowing your eyesight to be restored.]

Now encouraged by his mom’s support, Song Yuchen wasn’t afraid of his dad anymore and said straightening his little back, "Daddy, didn’t you say yesterday you’d take me to ride the cow? Shall we go now?"

Song Jinze looked at the little guy’s rosy-cheeked, smiling face, finding it hard to refuse.

"Just wait a moment."

Song Yuchen blinked in confusion, wait a moment for what?

Soon, he saw his dad holding him with one right hand, while his left hand reached out to hold his mom’s hand. He even asked gently, "Are you hungry? What would you like for lunch?"

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the somewhat gloomy sky, felt the coolness on her skin, and suddenly craved something spicy.

"I want hot pot."

After saying this, Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand dismissively, "Forget it, it’s a bit difficult to have hot pot around here. Let’s just whip up something simple when we get back. For now, how about we take Xiao Chen to ride a bull, okay?"

Upon hearing his mom’s words, Song Yuchen was overjoyed, "Mom, it’s okay if you want to eat hot pot. Even though I can’t eat spicy food, I can still keep you company. We’ll ask Dad to make you hot pot later!"

The little guy believed that his dad must have secretly learned to cook at home, so he thought his dad could now do anything.

Song Jinze furrowed his brows and glanced at the little guy, who was rather good at stealing the spotlight.

"Dad, what do you say, is it okay?"

Song Jinze’s thin lips moved slightly, "Sure."

[Is Sister Zhenzhen underestimating President Song’s capabilities? The head chef from Haicheng Grand Hotel could be brought onsite to prepare dinner, so surely a hot pot isn’t too much of a challenge!]

[Gotta say, money really does work wonders.]

[Let me guess, will they have hot pot when they return?]

[Xiao Chen, you’re truly a super little gentleman. How can there be such a handsome and cute kid!]

[Song Yuchen and President Song are actually the same type. They’re only gentle with the people they like. Just compare him to Ji Yunyun and you’ll see.]

[Envious of Ye Zhenzhen for the Nth day, pampered by two handsome guys, one big and one small. This stepmother and wealthy lady’s life is just too sweet!]

...

The woman who went looking for An Xi in the morning had not left the village. After learning through the livestream that Ye Zhenzhen had gone to the director and refused to do the product promotion, she immediately had the villagers call An Xi out.

She was staying at the house of a villager behind where An Xi lived, and it was in this house Gu Xiaoran had completed her mission that morning.

When An Xi came out, she greeted the cameraman brother and said she had to leave for a bit and asked not to be followed.

Upon reaching the villager’s house, An Xi entered the room and the woman came up to her and slapped her across the face.

An Xi immediately felt a fiery sting on her face and bit back with gritted teeth, "Even if you beat me to death today, it’s no use."

The woman’s appearance now was entirely different from when she was at Ye Zhenzhen’s house; she had removed the coarse cloth headscarf, revealing chestnut-colored curly short hair.

Her skin was fair and flushed, a stark contrast from the dark and sallow complexion she had disguised herself with earlier.

The plain clothing she wore was also changed; there was no trace of the peasant woman from the morning.

Now her eyes were fierce, the corners of her lips turned down, and her entire face was filled with a murderous impulse.

Pain crept into An Xi’s eyes, "You said you wanted my help, and I helped. I really have no other way, can you wait until I finish recording this show before we talk?"

"Wait until you finish recording the show? The iron will have gone cold. Once Ye Zhenzhen is back in Jiangcheng, it’ll be much harder to make a move on her. What are you thinking? Can’t you apply even a fraction of the determination you had when you were set on marrying into wealth?"

Hearing the woman talk about marrying into wealth, An Xi’s expression immediately changed, "An Ying, do you think you can really threaten me?"

The woman, hearing An Xi call her by name, slapped her again, "Didn’t your mother teach you manners? I’ll have to teach you in her place. What, did marrying such a loser make you think you’re now some rich tycoon’s wife? What relationship do I have with you to warrant you calling me by my name."

An Xi was stunned by the woman’s slaps, barely holding back her anger, "I already told you, the story you made up earlier won’t work, it’s not pitiful enough. Ye Zhenzhen will not fall for it. I suggest you think of another plan."
