Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 89 Who is the 2nd Handsomest? (2 more~)

He stopped himself in time, swallowing the rest of his words.

He thought that if he asked his daddy to join them, and if daddy agreed, he wouldn’t be able to meet Brother Yi!

"Where are you going to play?" When he asked, Song Jinze’s slender eyes were looking at Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen: "To the amusement park."

It was a redundant question; he had clearly heard it last night.

"What about the injury on your arm?" he asked with a trace of concern in those narrow ink-black eyes.

Ye Zhenzhen lifted her arm, "Doctor Liu just came by to change the dressing, it’s healing well, there’s no serious issue."

Ye Zhenzhen always felt that this man had been lectured when he went to see his grandfather, which was why he had been like this these past days...

Caring!

Song Jinze nodded, then smiled at Song Yuchen, "Xiao Chen, do you want daddy to go with you?"

Song Yuchen: What should I do, what should I do, Mommy help me!

Ye Zhenzhen squat down to ask the little guy, "Xiao Chen, do you want your daddy to go with us?"

Xiao Chen in his heart: I really want daddy to come along, but I want to see Brother Yi even more.

After weighing his options, the little guy shook his head, "Let’s not; daddy is so busy, you should focus on working hard to make money, and then give mommy lots and lots of money to spend. I won’t disturb your money-making."

Ye Zhenzhen stood up, smiling as she said, "The amusement park is the children’s domain; we should respect the children’s wishes. President Song is so busy, there’s no need to carve out precious time to join us."

Xiao Chen nodded eagerly, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, daddy, I’m very obedient and well-behaved. I’ll take good care of your wife, don’t worry!"

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

Song Yuchen, you’re too clever for your own good!

Song Jinze revealed a helplessly amused smile on his handsome face and tousled Xiao Chen’s hair, "Alright, I’ll leave my wife in Xiao Chen’s care for now."

"Then, goodbye Daddy, we’ll see each other tonight!"

"Alright, see you tonight."

After Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen left, Song Jinze took out his phone and called Secretary Zhang, "Xiao Chen and Ye Zhenzhen are out; arrange for two plainclothes bodyguards to follow them discreetly. Don’t reveal yourselves unless there’s danger."

Secretary Zhang: "Understood."

After hanging up, Secretary Zhang was a bit puzzled. The president had said he was going back to retrieve an important document, yet that document was in the car.

Now, after hearing the president’s instructions, he immediately understood; the president wasn’t really going back for a file, he was going to check on his wife and Xiao Chen.

...

Ye Zhenzhen sent a WeChat message to Liu Rui, asking her to arrange a meeting with Xiao Yi and his manager at Uptown Coffee in Jiangcheng.

Uptown Coffee was expensive and had private rooms; most importantly, it was in an out-of-the-way location where average people seldom went.

Having been involved in the entertainment industry for years in her past life, Ye Zhenzhen paid attention to these details. Xiao Yi was a celebrated actor, so meeting in a place with fewer people would avoid a lot of hassle.

Moreover, she had Liu Rui join in, so with two industry artists and a manager, accompanied by a child, even if netizens spread rumors, they wouldn’t be too outrageous.

When Ye Zhenzhen entered the private room with Xiao Chen, Liu Rui was already waiting there.

"Zhenzhen!" After greeting Ye Zhenzhen, Liu Rui touched Xiao Chen’s hair, "Hey there, handsome boy, do you remember auntie? We’ve met before!"

Song Yuchen nodded, "I remember, you’re Aunt Huahua!"

Ye Zhenzhen, puzzled, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Aunt Huahua?"

Liu Rui coughed awkwardly, "Xiao Chen, can you give Auntie a slightly more fashionable name?"

"Huahua" sounds a bit old-fashioned!

Song Yuchen explained earnestly, "But Auntie, you were the one who said you’re called Liu Rui, as in the pistil of a flower, so you are Aunt Huahua!"

"Pfft~" Ye Zhenzhen laughed and looked towards Liu Rui, "Aunt Huahua~ it actually sounds quite nice!"

Song Yuchen: "Right? Right? Aunt Huahua is also as pretty as a flower, only a tiny bit less than my mom."

Liu Rui’s mouth hung open in surprise, "Oh my, I can’t believe I am getting such high praise from a little heartthrob like you! Alright then, I happily accept the name Aunt Huahua."

At the same time, Liu Rui was truly happy to see Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen’s interaction, relieved that her relationship with her stepson was no longer as fractured as before.

Being a mom is tough, but being a stepmom is even tougher.

"Who is Aunt Huahua!" The door to the private room opened, and Feige’s voice came through.

Two fully equipped, tall men entered the room.

Song Yuchen exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xiao Yi!"

Liu Rui, having been overheard by Feige with that peculiar nickname and feeling a bit embarrassed, was immediately distracted as Xiao Chen called out, making everyone turn their gaze to the tall figure behind Feige.

Xiao Yi stood behind Feige, half a head taller than him.

He was wearing a black leather jacket and, after taking off his baseball cap and mask, revealed a buzz cut and a handsome face with a slightly mischievous look, along with a pair of long, narrow, peach-blossom eyes that bent into slits when he smiled, exuding a roguish charm.

Song Yuchen shouted excitedly again, "Brother Xiao Yi! It really is Brother Xiao Yi!"

Seeing his favorite idol, the little guy jumped around the room excitedly...

Xiao Yi curved his lips into a smile, "Little guy, you should call me uncle."

Song Yuchen, with his small legs, ran up to Xiao Yi and looked up to flatter him, "You’re not an uncle, you’re so young, and tall and handsome, you’re a brother, Brother Xiao Yi!"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. He had heard countless praises before, but it was the first time being complimented face-to-face by such a little bundle of cuteness, and it inexplicably put him in a good mood.

He crouched down and picked up the little guy, his lips curving into a devilish smile, "Little guy, between uncle and your dad, who is taller, who is handsomer?"

Song Yuchen replied without hesitation, "Of course my dad is taller, my dad is the handsomest!"

Feige chuckled audibly. This was probably the fastest face-slap in Best Actor Xiao’s history.

And the challenger was a milk baby.

Xiao Yi glanced sideways at Feige, then addressed Song Yuchen, "Uncle is the handsomest, your dad isn’t as handsome as Uncle!"

"Not true! My dad is the handsomest, and you are the second handsomest!" Song Yuchen felt that although he really liked Brother Xiao Yi, it was important to hold on to his principles and bottom line.

In his eyes, his dad was the handsomest, and Xiao Yi could only be second.

Xiao Yi laughed at the little guy’s words and expressions, "Hahaha, you little guy, you’ve spent too much time with your dad, quite protective, aren’t you!"

Ye Zhenzhen’s gaze shifted back and forth between Xiao Yi and Xiao Chen, her mind swiftly analyzing the exchange between Xiao Yi and Xiao Chen.

Nobody knew yet that Song Jinze was her husband and some netizens were guessing on Weibo that her husband was an old geezer, so Xiao Yi asking the child that could only be for two reasons;

The first was that Xiao Yi really didn’t know who Xiao Chen’s dad was, just casually teasing the kid.

The second was that Xiao Yi knew Song Jinze and also the original host, which is why he said they were just friends on the day they bought oranges...

Combining this with what Xiao Chen said yesterday, that Song Jinze didn’t let him talk about Xiao Yi at home...

Thinking about this, Ye Zhenzhen was certain in her heart that these two men knew each other, but their relationship was not good.

So, Xiao Yi asking Xiao Chen wasn’t just joking, it was deliberate.

After playing around with Xiao Chen for a bit, Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Ye Zhenzhen, his face full of smiles, "Do you still remember me?"
