Transmigrated as a vicious stepmother, I raised a child who became a heartthrob.

Jiang Ji said firmly.

"What are you two talking about?"

After Huo Wang finished packing, he saw the two of them huddled together, whispering to each other, giving off an aura that suggested they were about to be stranded at the ends of the earth.

The situation before them resembled an exchange of feelings before parting ways.

"Let's talk about the child's father."

Jiang Zhuhua didn't hide anything; there was no point in hiding such a thing.

"Mom, you didn't say it was him, did you?"

Almost instantly, Jiang Ji's face turned pale. Unpleasant memories began to flood back.

"What are you afraid of? You're with me now, not him. I'm just annoyed by him; he's staying at home and won't leave."

Jiang Zhuhua was just frustrated with himself because, due to practical reasons, he couldn't drive the other party away or get rid of them. He wasn't particularly afraid.

Seeing the obvious, barely concealed fear in Jiang Ji's eyes, she began to feel sorry for him.

"So, where are we staying tonight?"

Jiang Ji, like a frightened rabbit, sidled up to Jiang Zhuhua and whispered.

"Let's stay at a hotel. I took my card when I left."

"Besides that, it seems like there's nowhere else to stay," Jiang Zhuhua said casually.

"Did he bully you?"

Jiang Ji then asked another question.

"No."

Jiang Zhuhua returned.

It seems that the ex-husband did not leave a good impression on the mother and child, and may have even seriously hurt the child's feelings.

Huo Wang observed for a while and made a rough assessment.

Since meeting Jiang Zhuhua, he has started to pay attention to things in their circle. He heard that the man was very philandering and had gone crazy for love when he was young. He seems to have settled down and become a playboy.

It seems the rumors are not credible.

"It's still early, want to go out and have some fun? A new roasted sweet potato shop opened on the food street, and the advertisement says it tastes pretty good."

If someone is unhappy, then some delicious food should cheer them up. Huo Wang thought of this and said it casually.

"it is good."

To Huo Wang's surprise, Jiang Zhuhua agreed immediately. In Huo Wang's memory, Jiang Zhuhua was always extremely busy. The two had only exchanged a handful of messages.

Going out shopping together suggests a slightly closer relationship.

"Okay. I've been mooching off An'an for so long, let An'an mooch back today."

Huo Wang's eyebrows suddenly curved, and his smile spread like water in a spring pond.

"Huo Wang, don't call me An'an. Only my mother can. You have to call me by my full name."

"Ugh, so annoying!" Jiang Ji glared, repeating this for what felt like the umpteenth time. And how could she possibly argue with her mother about who she was addressed?

Huo Wangtai is shameless.

“What’s wrong with An’an? Just because your mother calls her that doesn’t mean I can’t.”

Huo Wang took out his crossbody bag from behind the table and chair, and stuffed something into it while talking.

“It’s different. You’re a man.”

Jiang Ji spoke earnestly.

"You've got it wrong. I'm a woman."

Huo Wang was utterly shameless. Jiang Zhuhua couldn't help but smile, and even laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at? Mr. Jiang, I don't want to call him by his full name. We've known each other for so long, and he won't even let me call him by his nickname."

When others address Jiang as "President," it's always formal and formal. But Huo Wang is different; his words are like hooks. They sound flippant, yet the endings have a slight upward curve, as if they could steal your soul, almost like teasing.

Anyway, it's not very serious. It's a bit different from its appearance, but it has an inexplicable cuteness.

It's probably a case of unexpected charm.

"Huo Wang! It's clearly a long-standing relationship between Tie Dan and me. We were just having a meal together."

Jiang Ji was holding a large dog on a leash, and he was very annoyed.

"Mom, I came to play with Tiedan, not to see him."

Children sometimes talk nonsense, and Jiang Zhuhua just listened with a smile. Even though Jiang Ji didn't dislike Huo Wang, she insisted that she had come to play with the dog.

Jiang Ji wouldn't argue with him if she really disliked him.

"Listen up. If he bullies you, step on him."

Jiang Zhuhua was just trying to appease a child. Regardless of what happens in the future, Jiang Ji isn't very strong now. And unlike other children her age, she doesn't throw tantrums or act out; she's easy to manage and obedient.

Jiang Ji would never do such a thing unless he was extremely angry.

"Huo Wang, did you hear me? If you call me by my nickname again, I'll stomp your toes until they swell up."

Because of his height, Jiang Ji could only utter such a threat. Huo Wang immediately burst into laughter.

"alright."

Huo Wang zipped up his crossbody bag.

"Xiao Liu, keep an eye on the shop. Call me if anything happens. Close the shop after the appointed time."

Because he was going out to have fun, Huo Wang told the people in the shop what he needed to say, and then it was over quickly.

The three of them got into the same car, which slowly merged into the traffic.

Xiao Liu, who was pretending to be working diligently, suddenly looked up, his eyes darting around.

"Brother Wang, boss, this is...."

Those darting eyes clearly indicated he wasn't up to any good. The others suppressed their laughter.

"Oh. What else? Although the boss likes to go out and have fun, he rarely goes out with girls."

Brother Wang arrived quite early and is considered one of the older folks here. He speaks of these things with great knowledge and expertise.

"That can't be right. The boss looks like he... looks like he'd like to have a girlfriend, but not a long-term one."

Xiao Liu hasn't been here long, and no matter what he does, he can't connect the boss with the current Huo Wang.

I could only scratch my head and try my best to organize my inadequate words.

"And the boss seems to be so gentle to every customer, except us. He was a bit less gentle with us. Not long ago, he even kicked me because I had poor learning ability."

Xiao Liu just says whatever comes to mind. Female customers also come in for things like car window tinting or other customized services. Huo Wang seems to be just as gentle, even serving them tea and water.

"If you're not gentle with customers, who are you going to be gentle with? And haven't you noticed? The boss is starting to act like a baby. There's a difference between being gentle and gentle, okay?"

Brother Wang has met countless people and eaten countless meals. Although he felt it was inappropriate for these two to be together, he was happy to pretend to be very experienced in relationships in front of Xiao Liu.

"What are you two talking about? The boss is an entrepreneur, a single, good young man from beginning to end, capable in both academics and martial arts. As for that Jiang Zhuhua, he was all over the news before, divorced with a child, and his family life is not harmonious. How can the two of them be together?"

Another person strolled over with a teacup in hand, his eyes filled with disdain as he spoke.

"A woman with a child. If the two of them get together, the boss will have to raise her son. And it's not even his own."

As he spoke, he let out a cold laugh.

"Who knows what will happen to this child when he grows up? He'll be worthless as a second marriage."
