Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

Chapter 28

This morning.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the sofa, playing games on his phone.

Huo Mianmian sat quietly beside him, holding an illustrated book and reading it.

The book was filled with drawings of many small animals, each one cartoonish, cute, and interesting, capable of capturing a child's attention easily.

Huo Mianmian lowered his head, engrossed in the book for quite some time.

At one point, he lifted his head and asked Lin Yi, "Dad, why does a crab walk sideways?"

Lin Yi laughed when he heard this question.

While still playing the game, he teased the child, "Maybe to prove how special it is. All other animals walk straight, but it walks sideways, making it stand out."

Huo Mianmian looked surprised, his eyes widening.

Is that why?

He continued, "Then why do snakes hibernate?"

Lin Yi, adept at entertaining children, replied, "It's too lazy to come out and find food in winter, so it just sleeps all the time."

Huo Mianmian blinked, "Why don't humans hibernate?"

It was rare for Huo Mianmian to speak so much at once; it was clear he was in a good mood today.

Lin Yi casually patted his head and answered, "Because humans have invented so many delicious foods. If they went without eating for so long, they'd feel like they were missing out."

Huo Mianmian's eyes widened, listening intently to Lin Yi's explanations.

The Steward, watching from the side, smiled genuinely.

It was evident that Mr. Lin and the young master were getting closer, and the young master was doing better. This was truly a good thing.

After playing games all morning, Lin Yi said to Huo Mianmian, "Mianmian, let's go out for lunch today; we haven't eaten out in a while."

Huo Mianmian nodded cooperatively.

Soon, father and son headed outside and found a fast-food restaurant.

Lin Yi hadn't had this kind of food in a while, so he ordered a lot.

Fried chicken, burgers, fries, cola, and more.

Although these foods might be considered unhealthy by some, they were irresistible. Not having them for a while made you crave them even more.

After ordering for himself, Lin Yi also got a kids' meal for Huo Mianmian.

Soon, the server brought their food to the table.

Lin Yi immediately picked up a burger and took a big bite.

In the next moment, he closed his eyes in satisfaction.

This was the taste he missed!

Huo Mianmian opened his spoon and began drinking his soup obediently.

Lin Yi quickly finished his burger, drank some cola, and then started on a fried chicken leg.

The fried chicken leg from this fast-food restaurant was incredibly delicious. The outside was coated with crispy golden batter, while the inside was tender and juicy, and well-seasoned.

Each bite was a delightful mix of textures, making it hard to stop eating.

Thus, Lin Yi tried almost everything on the menu before leaving the restaurant, feeling satisfied.
