Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

55 (ii)

Huo Jihan continued reading his business magazine, but this time, the time seemed to drag on.

Inside the game room.

Lin Yi played two more games with Shen Feng.

With Lin Yi there, they naturally won both games.

Shen Feng's account successfully advanced to Diamond rank.

He happily took a screenshot and posted it on social media to show off.

After posting, he leaned back in his chair: "Ah! That was so satisfying!"

Lin Yi teased him: "Yeah, dying over ten times in one game must have been really fun."

Shen Feng: "...Can you not point that out?"

Lin Yi laughed: "Whether I point it out or not, it's still true."

Shen Feng: "..."

Meanwhile.

Huo Mianmian found the Steward and called out, "Grandpa Steward."

The Steward was taken aback by Huo Mianmian's call, hardly believing it: "Young Master, are you calling me?"

Huo Mianmian, small and well-behaved, stood in front of the Steward: "Yes, Mianmian is calling you."

The Steward nearly shed tears of joy.

He had spent most of his life in this house and had grown deeply attached to it.

Now old, he had no other desires except for one regret-that their young master Mianmian showed signs of autism and rarely interacted with others, always staying locked in his room.

Never did he imagine that one day his young master would become more outgoing.

Though still not as lively as other children, it was enough that he was willing to speak to people. It gave hope for improvement.

The Steward, overwhelmed with emotion, took a moment to compose himself before asking, "Young Master, what do you need?"

At this moment, Huo Mianmian pulled out some seeds from his pocket and said brightly, "Grandpa Steward, these are watermelon and cantaloupe seeds. Can you help find a place to plant them?"

These were seeds he had brought back from the desert, which he had carefully guarded throughout the journey, checking his pockets periodically to ensure they didn't fall out.

If they dropped them, his little dad wouldn't be able to enjoy the delicious watermelon and cantaloupe.

No one could refuse a request from the adorable little Huo Mianmian, not even the Steward.

He immediately said, "No problem. We can clear out a plot of land in the villa area and plant these seeds there."

Hearing this, Huo Mianmian became instantly delighted. "Great! I want to go see it too."

The Steward smiled kindly. "Sure, let's take you to observe the selected spot first. However, if we're really going to plant them, it'll have to wait until tomorrow. It's too late now."

Huo Mianmian nodded his little head and was about to follow the Steward.

At that moment, the Steward reminded him, "Young Master, your friend is still over there. Do you want to invite him along?"

Being an adult, he had better observational skills than Huo Mianmian and noticed that the little boy over there had glanced their way several times.

But every time he looked back, the boy would quickly turn away.
