Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

95

Chapter 95

Lin Yi covered his neck as he got into the car.

At this moment, Huo Mianmian noticed and asked curiously, "Dad, why are you covering your neck?"

Lin Yi rarely found himself at a loss for words; "Ah, this..."

Mainly because of Huo Mianmian's innocent big eyes, he had no idea how to explain.

While thinking about how to answer, he widened his eyes and glanced at Huo Jihan in the driver's seat.

At this moment, Huo Jihan saw his expression in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but chuckle lightly before saying to Huo Mianmian, "Mianmian, do you want to listen to some music? Dad will play a song for you."

Huo Mianmian was instantly distracted. "What kind of songs?"

Huo Jihan wasn't sure what songs kids liked, but he suggested, "How about a cartoon theme song?"

Huo Mianmian nodded eagerly. "Sure, sure~"

Soon, Huo Jihan found a cartoon theme song, and the cheerful melody filled the car.

Huo Mianmian's attention was diverted.

He softly hummed along and swayed his head.

Lin Yi managed to escape further questioning.

However, he didn't thank Huo Jihan for helping him out because Huo Jihan was the root cause of all this!!

Lin Yi was silently angry at Huo Jihan.

Of course, being angry wasn't that serious; he just stopped talking to Huo Jihan.

Even if Huo Jihan tried to talk to him, he responded with short one- or two-word answers.

This form of anger seemed more like a playful couple's spat.

For example, during dinner that evening, the three of them sat in the dining room.

Huo Jihan noticed Lin Yi reaching for the braised pork ribs, which were a bit far from him.

Seeing this, Huo Jihan moved the dish closer to him. "Eat."

But Lin Yi stopped reaching for it.

"..."

Huo Jihan smiled helplessly yet affectionately.

By around ten o'clock that night, everyone had returned to their own bedrooms, and Lin Yi still wasn't talking to Huo Jihan.

Huo Jihan didn't say anything and went to see Huo Mianmian first.

Huo Mianmian was sitting on the carpet in his room, holding a storybook.

Of course, he couldn't read, so he was just looking at the pictures.

He was waiting for Lin Yi to come and tell him a bedtime story.

But tonight, instead of Lin Yi, he saw Huo Jihan.

Huo Mianmian tilted his head in confusion. "Dad?"

Huo Jihan walked in and said, "I'll tell you a bedtime story tonight."

Huo Mianmian: "Eh?"

Why?

Three minutes later.

Huo Mianmian lay on his soft little bed.

Huo Jihan sat in a chair beside the bed, holding a storybook and reading to him.

However, it was clear that Huo Mianmian wasn't enjoying the story very much.
