Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

Chapter 17

At one point, Lin Yi was grilling pork belly on a baking tray.

When the pork belly sizzled with oil and turned slightly golden, he picked it up, mixed it with some seasonings, placed it in lettuce, wrapped it up, and finally put the whole thing in his mouth.

The next second, he began chewing contentedly, looking thoroughly satisfied.

Huo Mianmian watched his every move and then tried to wrap something in lettuce himself.

He reached for a piece of lettuce from the table, laid it in his palm, and scooped two spoonfuls of fried rice onto it.

Lowering his head, he imitated Lin Yi's actions, carefully wrapping the lettuce into a little bundle.

Then he stuffed the bundle into his mouth.

Because the bundle was quite large, he had to push it in with some effort.

It went in, but when he tried to chew, he found his cheeks puffed out, making it impossible to chew.

Huo Mianmian was confused.

He had clearly seen Little Dad do it this way, so why couldn't he?

Huo Mianmian struggled for a while but still couldn't chew the bundle, and his cheeks started to ache.

Huo Mianmian: "..."

Wah!

Lin Yi was continuing to wrap grilled meat in lettuce when a small hand tugged at his sleeve.

Lin Yi turned and couldn't help but laugh.

At that moment, Huo Mianmian had a large lettuce bundle in his mouth, his cheeks puffed out.

His chubby cheeks were now even more swollen, making him look like a little hamster with a mouthful of food, incredibly cute.

Huo Mianmian opened his big, round eyes and looked at him pleadingly.

But Lin Yi just pinched his cheek and laughed, saying, "Who's this little hamster?"

Huo Mianmian: "..."

Not a little hamster, but a little one who needs saving.

"Ha ha ha, Lin Yi, stop playing around, help our little treasure!"

"Oh my god, screenshot! Cheeky Mianmian is too adorable."

Finally, with Lin Yi's help, Huo Mianmian was saved. He rubbed his slightly sore, round cheeks with both hands and decided to stay away from lettuce, especially lettuce wrapped with food, which was too scary.

Next, Huo Mianmian continued eating his sweet rice wine soup balls, finishing two bowls before stopping.

Soon, everyone finished their barbecue, all feeling very satisfied.

Except for He Nian, who was still preoccupied with today's events and ate distractedly.

Of course, no one really cared whether he was eating properly or not.

Lin Yi went to settle the bill.

Huo Mianmian climbed down from the chair and prepared to wait for Lin Yi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped off the chair, he felt dizzy and even swayed a bit before managing to steady himself.

He blinked, confused, not knowing what had happened.

When Lin Yi returned after settling the bill, he saw Huo Mianmian standing there, looking bewildered.

He walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
