Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 505 - 504

Chapter 505: 504

Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly covered the man’s mouth, "Song Jinze, you shut up!"

The man’s eyebrows rose slightly, and with a nod of his long eyes, he took the woman’s hand into his, his thin lips close to her ear, his voice low, "Okay, as you wish."

Song Jinze looked up at Secretary Zhang who was driving and instructed, "Secretary Zhang, go ahead and outline the main points for tonight’s meeting for now, I’ll add the rest at tomorrow’s morning meeting."

A flash of surprise passed through Secretary Zhang’s eyes, then he immediately responded, "Yes, President."

"President, the dinner with Mrs. Song is scheduled at..."

Now that the president and Mrs. Song had reconciled, it was naturally his duty as a secretary to arrange another romantic dinner for two, to make up for this misunderstanding scandal.

Afterward, the man’s fervent gaze once again fell on the woman’s slightly blushing small face, his fingertips gently touching her delicate cheek, "What would you like for dinner?"

Ye Zhenzhen, already feeling a bit shy and guilty from speaking too hastily earlier, found her heartbeat accelerate with the man’s touch.

"What do you want to eat?"

She counter-asked, feigning composure.

Her mind was in a fog, burning up, with no appetite to think of food.

Song Jinze’s lips curled up slightly, his eyes serious, "Is Mrs. Song sincerely asking for my opinion? Can I have anything I want?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Mmm, you can."

She wasn’t picky about food; it was up to him to decide.

Song Jinze’s hand around her slender waist tightened slightly, his head tilting closer to her cheek, his breathless voice whispering gently, "Mrs. Song, can I?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

The man’s heated breath seemed laced with desire as it poured into her mind along her ear, causing her already flushed face to turn a deeper red.

"Song Jinze! Can’t you be serious for once?"

Ye Zhenzhen pushed him away in embarrassment and annoyance, trying to get off his lap, but he held her even tighter.

Song Jinze’s handsome face bore an indulgent smile, "How am I not being serious? You were the one who asked, so why are you getting angry after I answered?"

Ye Zhenzhen glanced at him sidelong, "It seems you’re not hungry, so let’s pick up Xiao Chen from school first, and we’ll have whatever Aunt Li has prepared for dinner."

They were quickly approaching a key intersection, and she immediately said to Secretary Zhang, "Secretary Zhang, take the next right at the intersection ahead; we’re going to pick up Xiao Chen from school."

"Yes, Mrs. Song."

Secretary Zhang glanced at the smiling president through the rearview mirror and silently sighed.

There goes the candlelit dinner for two.

Song Jinze buried his head in the woman’s neck, his languid tone sounding almost coquettish, "Mrs. Song, I’m hungry, very hungry..."

Ye Zhenzhen pushed him away with her hand, "Too late!"

Even with his busy night, a call or a WeChat would have been something. Trusting him was one thing but her heart still held anger. Thanks to this damned man, she hadn’t slept well at all.

Secretary Zhang couldn’t help but interject, "President, Weilan Pavilion is right along the way, how about I get some pastries to tide you over?"

Song Jinze’s forehead furrowed, "Shut up! Just drive."

Secretary Zhang: ...

Oh, so caring for the boss was wrong now?

Ah! It’s truly hard to be a secretary these days!

After moving to the side, Ye Zhenzhen said to Secretary Zhang, "Secretary Zhang, get two portions of pastries from Weilan Pavilion up ahead."

"Got it!"

It seemed, Mrs. Song still cared about the president.

Song Jinze leaned back, turning his head to glance at the woman, the smile on his lips growing deeper.

Secretary Zhang was quick to go into the restaurant and come out, bringing two portions of pastries back to the car and handing them over to Ye Zhenzhen.

But as the car drove on for a good while, he didn’t hear a sound from the back seat asking if the president wanted something to eat.

It wasn’t until the car pulled into the kindergarten.

Ye Zhenzhen handed out the two pastries to Song Yuchen and Shu Siyu...

Secretary Zhang looked at his boss with a bemused expression, sympathy clearly more pronounced in his gaze.

After bidding them farewell, Shu Siyu followed his bodyguards into the car.

Song Yuchen was very happy, simply because both his dad and mom came to pick him up today. After getting into the car, he sat in the middle and asked Ye Zhenzhen, "Mom, can I eat this in the car?"

Xiao Chen pointed at the pastry box and even stuck out his little tongue to lick his lips.

The child was hungry.

Ye Zhenzhen touched the top of his head, ruffling his hair, "Of course, you clean your hands with a wet wipe, and I’ll open it for you."

"Yay!"

While Xiao Chen was eating the pastry, he didn’t forget to feed Ye Zhenzhen a piece, "Mom, try this; it’s really tasty!"

"Does daddy want some?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "Your dad isn’t hungry, don’t mind him, just eat."

Song Yuchen’s small hand holding the pastry stretched out and then withdrew, "Hehe, then it’s all mine!"

Song Jinze: ...

As Secretary Zhang drove, a glance at the company president in the backseat filled him with concern. Seeing Madam’s demeanor, she must not have forgiven the president yet, what should they do next?

On the way, Song Jinze received a call from Song Wenbai, inviting them to dinner at their place.

After hanging up, he said to Ye Zhenzhen, "My dad says, come over for dinner. Shall we go?"

If she didn’t want to, they wouldn’t go.

"Let’s go."

Hearing this, Secretary Zhang turned the car towards Yunxi Li.

...

As the family of three entered the villa’s lobby, Madam Song came forward to greet them, taking Ye Zhenzhen by the hand and leading her to the sofa.

"Zhenzhen, come here. I recently bought two cashmere scarves, choose the one you like."

Xiao Chen pounced into Old Master Song’s arms, "Great Grandfather, I missed you so much~"

Old Master Song chuckled, holding the little one, "Great Grandfather missed you too."

Song Jinze looked around but didn’t see Song Wenbai; he asked the old master, "Where’s my dad?"

Old Master Song snorted irritably, "Your dad? He went to pick up his friend’s daughter."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinze had no doubts about what it meant. If Song Wenbai had called him home for dinner, it was to make him meet Lu Sangning.

Ye Zhenzhen, who was looking at scarves, also caught something in that glance.

The "friend’s daughter" mentioned by the grandfather must be Lu Sangning.

She had felt for a while now that her father-in-law, Song Wenbai, had never shown much warmth to her, probably because of Lu Sangning.

Song Jinze’s handsome face had turned grim.

At that moment, a noise came from the entrance hall.

Then Song Wenbai arrived with Lu Sangning, and Madam Song couldn’t help but shoot Song Wenbai a displeased glance.

Both Old Master Song and Song Jinze also wore stern faces and said nothing.

Lu Sangning, on the other hand, had a knack for sweet talk and greeted everyone in the room, saving Ye Zhenzhen for last; her smile was innocent and guileless, "Uncle Song, who is this sister?"

Madam Song replied with a smile, "This is our Song family’s daughter-in-law, Jinze’s wife, Zhenzhen."

Lu Sangning’s smile faltered for a moment, and after her eyes flickered over Song Wenbai and Song Jinze, she turned to Ye Zhenzhen and said, "Nice to meet you, Sister Zhenzhen."
