After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

Gu Liunian, who was standing to the side, was shocked by what he had just heard. Could it be like that?

However, to avoid being the one abandoned, he ultimately had no choice but to take the two of them back with him, accepting the fact that the three of them would sleep together. Sometimes, a wife and son don't need to have a very good relationship!

Lin Hao and Gu Yu exchanged a glance, both of them smiling like cats who had just stolen some cream, their eyes seemingly sparkling with tiny stars!

That night, the family of three lay quietly together. The little boy nestled in his mother's soft, fragrant arms, with his father's strong, powerful hand resting on his body, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and security!

Even in her sleep, she still had a sweet smile on her face! I wonder what wonderful dreams she was having!

For some reason, the little boy woke up exceptionally early the next day, opening his eyes before dawn. He was overjoyed to find himself sleeping between his parents and couldn't help but wriggle around, naturally waking Lin Hao and her husband.

"Baby, what are you doing?" Lin looked at his squirming little body and hugged him.

"Hehehe!" The little bun showed his tiny baby teeth and giggled.

"What's making you so happy? Tell me so I can share in your joy!" Lin Hao started tickling him.

The little boy twisted his body even more violently, "Hahaha! Mother, bad! Hahaha... Father, save me!" He looked at his father with teary eyes, hoping that he could save him.

Unfortunately, Gu Liunian had no intention of granting his wish. He coldly uttered two words: "No saving him!"

The little boy was momentarily bewildered, but Lin Hao's words quickly interrupted his thoughts: "You're still asking for help? Let me tell you, no one can save you now!"

"Hahaha! Mother, you're bad! Hahaha! No, it tickles! Hahaha..."

Seeing that the little dumpling had indeed surrendered, Lin Hao withdrew his wicked hand and looked at him with a smile: "You naughty baby, you give up now!"

"I give up, I give up!" came the little dumpling's timid, childish voice. He was clearly convinced by her words. It was kind of funny, hehe!

"So, am I still bad?" Lin Hao asked, deliberately keeping a straight face.

"Not bad, not bad, Mother is the best!" He leaned closer to Lin Hao and whispered in her ear, "Father is bad!"

Lin Hao was satisfied!

Gu Liunian was speechless. He hadn't done anything, yet he had earned a "bad" reputation!

Clearly, he couldn't fit into the world of that mother and son.

After playing around for a while, seeing that it was getting late, the family of three got ready to wash up. They still had things to do today!

Today, Lin Hao is officially taking over the restaurant business, and she doesn't plan to have Gu Liunian accompany her; she wants to go and check it out herself. As for Little Baozi, she'll leave him in Gu Liunian's care for the day! Because the old lady also wants to inspect the shops under her name today.

The little boy did protest at the time, but Lin Hao rejected it ineffectively, and his reasons were very valid: they should cultivate the relationship between father and son!

The two men responded: "There's absolutely no need for that!"

But Lin Hao's attitude was firm, and the old lady was happy to watch the show, so the matter was settled.

After Lin Hao finished getting ready and left, only the father and son were left at home staring at each other.

The father and son looked at each other, both at a loss as to how to handle the situation.

Finally, Gu Liunian spoke first: "Let's go to the study!"

"Oh!" The little boy's head drooped down as he followed behind his father, just like the little duck he raised under the ginkgo tree. He walked with a wobbly gait, but he was just able to keep up with Gu Liunian's pace.

Lin Hao left the Gu residence and headed straight for the restaurant. Although there were no more events, the restaurant was still doing quite well; even though it wasn't mealtime yet, there were still groups of people sitting together.

I asked the waiter and learned that these people were afraid of waiting too long at noon, so they simply came early to reserve a spot, also in order to find companions to share a table with.

This was beyond Lin Hao's expectations. These people didn't just wait around; they always ordered some snacks and drinks, which helped generate revenue for the restaurant.

When Manager Li saw her arrive, he hurriedly came out to greet her: "Madam, no, Master, you've come!"

Lin Hao smiled slightly: "I came to check on the situation; it's always good to have a clear understanding of it!"

Manager Li was overjoyed to hear this. Although the two previous owners were the same family, for those of them who worked in the business, the owner's temperament was still very important. Seeing that the new owner was good-natured and attentive, his worries were somewhat relieved.

"What would you like to see? Let me tell you." He meant it sincerely. As the manager, he couldn't be happier for the business to get better and better, after all, he also took half a percent of the profits from the restaurant!

"I'm just browsing. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it!" Lin Hao said with a smile, as she didn't really have any ideas at the moment.

"Well..." Manager Li hesitated, he did have some things to finish, some people in the kitchen had taken leave and he was short-handed, so he had to go and keep an eye on things.

Lin Kan noticed his predicament and said with a smile, "It's really okay. I'm just taking a stroll to see if I can find anything. I'll definitely call you if anything happens."

Seeing this, Manager Li stopped being polite, cupped his hands in greeting, and went to get busy.

Lin Hao strolled around the restaurant, casually found a table and sat down. A waiter came over to greet her: "Madam, would you like something? Our restaurant has recently launched hot pot and desserts, with many flavors, there's sure to be one you like!"

Seeing his enthusiastic manner, Lin realized he was unaware of her identity, so she decided to pretend to be a customer and experience the service there.

"Oh? Then tell me about it!"

"okay!"

The waiter then fluently recounted all the restaurant's specialties, including numerous compliments to Lin Hao.

As a customer, Lin Hao felt the experience was pretty good!

"What's your name?" Lin Hao looked at the smiling servant, whose smile was just right—it conveyed his enthusiasm without being overly obsequious or making people uncomfortable!

The servant was taken aback by the question, but immediately replied, "My name is Wang Xiaohu."

"Wang Xiaohu, not a bad name!" Lin Hao pondered the name and felt it suited him well.

"Thank you for your kind words, Madam!" Although Wang Xiaohu found this lady somewhat strange, he still accepted the compliment with a smile.

"How old are you?" Lin Hao was a little curious. He looked quite young, but his way of entertaining guests was quite experienced.

"The youngest just turned thirteen."

"Thirteen? Not that old!" Lin Hao remarked with a sigh.

Thinking that Lin Hao thought he was too young to be trusted, Wang Xiaohu quickly patted his chest and said, "Although I am young, I have been doing this for more than two years. Regular customers know that I never lie!"
