Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 328 Your Husband is Hungry!

Song Jinze arrived home to find that Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen hadn’t returned yet.

Aunt Li approached and asked, "Sir, have you returned? Have you had dinner yet?"

"Uh, not yet." After changing his shoes, Song Jinze walked into the living room and noticed that no one was at home.

"What would you like to eat, sir? I’ll have someone prepare it."

Song Jinze, preparing to go upstairs to change his clothes, said, "No need."

Ye Zhenzhen had just mentioned that she would bring him food to eat, so he wanted to wait for Ye Zhenzhen to come back.

Aunt Li paused, then nodded, "Alright, good."

Although Aunt Li agreed verbally, she thought to herself that she still needed to tell Madame when she returned; it wouldn’t do for the master to keep skipping dinner like this.

Song Jinze hadn’t come down from upstairs when Ye Zhenzhen returned with the two children.

Watermelon was the first to dash to the entrance upon hearing the commotion, getting close to Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Chen and starting to frolic with its fluffy tail wagging.

"Watermelon~ did you miss me?" Xiao Chen, without even changing his shoes, hugged Watermelon and stroked its white fur.

Shu Siyu was also very excited, "Wow~ Watermelon is really beautiful!"

At kindergarten, Shu Siyu had often heard Xiao Chen talk about the big dog Watermelon at home.

Watermelon, with its thick white fur that was both long and dense, and smiling with its tongue hanging out, was seen as very pretty and cute by everyone.

Hearing himself praised, Watermelon became even happier, sniffing Shu Siyu and still wagging its tail enthusiastically.

"Watermelon, Shu Siyu is my good friend. Shu Siyu, shall we play together?"

Watermelon grunted twice and stuck out its tongue to lick Shu Siyu’s little hand, making the little fellow laugh out loud.

"Let’s go, let’s play over there for a while."

"Okay!"

After changing their shoes, Xiao Chen took Watermelon to the sunroom to play where all his toys were kept.

Aunt Li came over to take the bag from Ye Zhenzhen’s hand, and upon seeing the food containers inside, she asked, "Madame, did you have dinner outside this evening?"

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Yes, this is the meal I packed for Song Jinze. Check if it has cooled down; if it has, reheat it when he comes back."

"Master has already returned and went upstairs to change his clothes," Aunt Li said smiling with relief.

So the master wasn’t skipping meals; he was waiting for the food Madame brought back.

Ye Zhenzhen told the two little ones playing with Watermelon, "You two little rascals, play for a while and then go upstairs to bathe and sleep, okay?"

"Okay, Mommy, I’ll take Shu Siyu upstairs in a bit!"

"Aunty, don’t worry, I’ll behave!"

Before Ye Zhenzhen could respond to the two little ones, her phone in her bag began to ring.

It was Liu Rui calling.

She answered the phone while walking upstairs.

"Zhenzhen, were you with Best Actor Xiao tonight?"

Liu Rui had seen the trending topic earlier; she was with Chen Ke at an outside dinner event at the time and couldn’t leave.

The dinner guest was a senior of Chen Ke from college, named Tan Dongxu.

The other party had just returned from abroad and was currently employed as the Domestic Sales Director at the luxury GK brand. Liu Rui thought it would be good to have a chat with Chen Ke and see if there was a chance to secure a full set of evening gowns for Ye Zhenzhen.

Leveraging Ye Zhenzhen’s looks and popularity, if she could create some buzz at the charity banquet on Friday, perhaps they could discuss subsequent brand endorsements or ambassador roles.

Even if GK wasn’t an option, with that buzz, they would have more confidence when negotiating with other luxury brands afterwards.

The dinner had just ended, and she immediately returned Ye Zhenzhen’s call.

"No, I’m already home. I just happened to run into Xiao Yi, and we had dinner together. There were also two kids with us. There’s nothing to worry about, you don’t need to be nervous."

Regarding trending on social media with Xiao Yi, it was inevitable in this circle. Rumors spread at the slightest hint of news, and sometimes even without any wind, sheer speculation could suddenly whip up a storm.

Liu Rui asked, "Was it Xiao Yi who had the trending topic taken down?"

She had received notifications on her phone during the meal, but by the time it ended and she checked again, everything was gone, leaving only negative comments from trolls.

They were saying things like Ye Zhenzhen and Xiao Yi must be feeling guilty, which is why they had their team deal with the trending topic promptly.

Some people also said that the old man Ye Zhenzhen married couldn’t stand it and spent a lot of money to have the trending topic removed.

As Liu Rui asked this, the person in question, Song·Old Man·Jinze, was descending from upstairs.

He had changed his clothes and was planning to stay in the study for a while, waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to return. But just as he sat down at the desk and turned on the computer, he heard Ye Zhenzhen’s voice.

Now that the person he was waiting for was back, of course, he lost the mood to work. He left the study and came downstairs, running into Ye Zhenzhen who had just come up.

Ye Zhenzhen looked up and met the man’s deep, dark eyes from afar, replying to Liu Rui, "It wasn’t Xiao Yi. It must have been my husband who dealt with it."

Hearing this, Liu Rui’s eyes widened in surprise, exclaiming, "Then... then your husband... he won’t be angry, will he, Zhenzhen? And what’s with the two kids you were holding hands with?"

Liu Rui was actually afraid that Ye Zhenzhen really had some situation with Xiao Yi. For a newly popular female artist, there’s still a lot of momentum, and things could easily go south.

Previously she hadn’t heard Ye Zhenzhen talk much about her own husband, and now hearing that it was her husband who took care of the trending topic for her, she was quite astonished. No matter the age, any man who sees his wife involved in such rumors would find it hard to sit still.

"He..." Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the man with a smile in her eyes, "shouldn’t be angry! The other kid is Xiao Chen’s classmate. He came over to our place tonight as a guest. Next time, I will be more cautious,"

Song Jinze stood at the top of the stairs, waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to ascend step by step.

Angry? How could he be angry?

He was just a bit hungry.

"Oh~ that’s good!" Liu Rui’s anxiety eased. The trending topic had been taken down, and there wasn’t any major issue. She continued to ask;

"Zhenzhen, have you prepared your dress for the charity banquet? I just met with Director Han from GK along with Director Chen. He said he could lend us a seasonal gown. Shall I take you to try it tomorrow?"

She didn’t need to worry about Jiang Lu, who had ELS support, but for Ye Zhenzhen, she still wanted to secure her the best resources possible.

"Mm... Jiang Lu said this afternoon that she could help me get a gown from ELS..." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Hearing about borrowing a gown, Song Jinze’s brows knitted together.

His woman needed to borrow a gown to attend an event?

Liu Rui replied, "ELS’s conditions are too harsh. With your current status, they’ll probably only give you an out-of-season sample. I will talk to Jiang Lu about it. Arrange your time for tomorrow, and I’ll take you to GK."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhenzhen noticed Song Jinze was still lingering, so she asked, "Why are you still standing here?"

Song Jinze smiled faintly, his gaze clear and tranquil, as he spoke softly, "Your husband is hungry and would like to have dinner."
