Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Cheng Siyao realized that Lin Yi wasn't someone easy to deal with, but he didn't want to be at a disadvantage either.

So, he paused and said, "Did you misunderstand something? I was just curious about the entertainment industry and asked out of interest, not intending to offend you."

Lin Yi replied casually, "Oh, is that so?"

His tone was light, leaving it unclear whether he believed Cheng Siyao or not.

Cheng Siyao had expected Lin Yi to probe into his identity, but Lin Yi seemed uninterested and didn’t take him seriously.

This realization made Cheng Siyao feel somewhat belittled.

It was as if he was fully prepared for a confrontation, while the other party couldn't be bothered to engage.

Soon, Lin Yi's second cup of coffee arrived.

Logically, after such a confrontational situation, most people might lose their appetite for coffee.

But Lin Yi was different; his mood remained unaffected. He picked up the coffee cup calmly and took a sip, maintaining his composure throughout.

Watching this, Cheng Siyao felt a bit uneasy.

After all, he wasn't close to Lin Yi, and sitting across from him watching him drink coffee felt strange.

Finally, Cheng Siyao couldn't sit still any longer and said to Lin Yi, "I won't disturb you anymore."

Lin Yi nodded indifferently, showing no concern for Cheng Siyao's departure.

Cheng Siyao stood up but couldn't help saying, "I think we'll meet again."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"

Despite standing, Cheng Siyao felt Lin Yi’s presence was more composed and powerful.

He straightened his posture, "Yes, I believe it won't be too long."

Lin Yi responded coolly, "Sure, I don't mind."

He didn't know who this person was or what his intentions were.

But regardless, he would continue doing what he needed to do without being affected.

After all, if someone really wanted to cause trouble, there was no avoiding it; one could only face it head-on.

Cheng Siyao left and returned to his original seat.

His friend quickly approached him, "You actually went to talk to Lin Yi? What did you discuss?"

Cheng Siyao glanced at Lin Yi, remained silent, and started scrolling through his contacts on his phone.

His friend asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

While searching through his contacts, Cheng Siyao replied, "Since I'm back in the country, I naturally want to throw a celebration party. This is a good opportunity to invite guests."

More importantly, he could invite a certain someone.

Soon, Cheng Siyao found a contact and dialed the number.

Meanwhile.

Ji Yunchuan arrived at the Huo Group building and parked his car. His phone rang just as he got out.

Seeing it was Cheng Siyao, Ji Yunchuan answered, "Hello?"

Cheng Siyao said with a smile, "Yunchuan, how have you been? I’m back in the country and planning a celebration party. Want to join in the fun?"

Ji Yunchuan, always enthusiastic about parties, immediately replied, "Sure, send me the time and location."

Cheng Siyao said enthusiastically, "I’ll send it to you shortly, but before that, can you help me invite Big Brother Jihan?"

He wasn't unwilling to invite Huo Jihan himself, but he lacked both the contact information and the chance to meet him closely, so he had to rely on Ji Yunchuan.

Ji Yunchuan sounded skeptical, "Why specifically invite my Big Brother Huo?"

He didn’t suspect anything else, just wondered if Cheng Siyao was trying to connect with the Huo Group.

Cheng Siyao, understanding the circle they moved in, explained, "You know, I just got back and am unfamiliar with many things. More connections mean more opportunities. Can you help me out?"

Ji Yunchuan’s suspicion lessened, "Alright, I’m going to see Big Brother Huo soon. I’ll mention it to him."

Cheng Siyao quickly said, "Thanks a lot. I’ll buy you drinks another day."

After hanging up, Cheng Siyao held his phone, feeling excited.

He had admired Huo Jihan for a long time, and now having a chance to meet him filled him with joy.

Thinking about this, Cheng Siyao glanced at Lin Yi once more.

At this moment, Lin Yi was still savoring his coffee at a leisurely pace.

Cheng Siyao watched this scene, thinking to himself that Lin Yi should drink up, as there might come a day when he wouldn't be in the mood for coffee anymore.

Meanwhile.

Ji Yunchuan arrived at Huo Jihan's office.

He was just a messenger, usually delivering documents for his big brother.

After delivering the documents, Ji Yunchuan remembered Cheng Siyao's matter and casually mentioned to Huo Jihan, "Big Brother Huo, Cheng Siyao said he's back in the country and wants to throw a celebration party. He asked me if you're going."

Huo Jihan, flipping through the documents, replied indifferently, "Not going."

Ji Yunchuan thought of something, "Do you even know who Cheng Siyao is? He's..."

Huo Jihan interrupted him coldly, "Don't care."

Then, he lifted his icy black eyes to look at Ji Yunchuan, "Are you that idle?"

Ji Yunchuan hastily waved his hands, "Not idle, not idle, I'll shut up!"

He feared that if his Big Brother Huo got upset, he would assign him more tasks.

However, it was indeed in character for his Big Brother Huo not to attend any parties. Even when he invited him out for drinks, Big Brother Huo never went.

After leaving the office, Ji Yunchuan relayed Huo Jihan's response to Cheng Siyao.

Upon hearing that Huo Jihan wouldn't come, Cheng Siyao's mood instantly dropped.

He had always looked up to Huo Jihan since childhood, dreaming of interacting with him every day, but his hopes were always dashed.

Cheng Siyao, who had been confident, now felt a bit dejected.

But he quickly consoled himself, thinking that good things require effort to attain, especially when it came to Huo Jihan. He needed to put in his best effort.

Compared to Cheng Siyao's lingering thoughts, Lin Yi had long forgotten about the matter.

In fact, after returning home, he even cheerfully took Huo Mianmian to a theme park.

This theme park was filled with many cute cartoon characters.

Many of them were favorites of Huo Mianmian.

Upon arriving, Huo Mianmian felt like he had entered a dream world, visibly elated.

Lin Yi bought two cotton candies, and father and son each held one, strolling leisurely around the park.

As they wandered, they occasionally took bites of their sweet cotton candy.

Until a few staff members dressed in mascot costumes passed by.

Because Lin Yi and his son were too handsome, these staff members circled around them, bouncing joyfully.

Huo Mianmian was thrilled and said to Lin Yi, "Dad, I want to wear a mascot costume too."

Lin Yi couldn't refuse such an adorable request and immediately agreed, "No problem!"

Soon, Lin Yi took Huo Mianmian to buy two sets of Brown Bear mascot costumes.

Once they put on the costumes and stepped out of the store, they instantly became the most eye-catching sight in the entire park.

Two Brown Bears, one big and one small, waddling along, looked incredibly cute.

Many tourists rushed forward to take photos with them.

The two Brown Bears were very cooperative.

The larger one stood with his arms crossed, exuding a casual yet domineering presence.

The smaller one stood obediently, looking like a well-behaved bear cub.

The tourists were utterly charmed by the two bears, and the crowd grew larger.

At this moment, a live streamer passing by saw the commotion and turned his camera towards Lin Yi, saying, "Brothers and sisters, look at these two bears; they're so cute."

The live stream quickly exploded with comments.

"Wow! These two bears look just like Lin Yi and Mianmian!"

"Really? Can you tell through the costumes?"

"A true fan here, these are definitely Lin Yi and Mianmian!"

"Ahhh, where are they? I want to meet them!"

The streamer was surprised by the sudden influx of viewers and was momentarily stunned.

He didn't miss this opportunity and pushed forward with his camera to get a clearer shot.

Unexpectedly, a girl standing in front was almost knocked down by the crowd.

Just in time, the larger bear stepped forward and supported her, speaking gently, "Be careful."

The girl, upon hearing such a pleasant voice, nearly blushed, "Th-thank you!!"

"Ahhh, that voice, it's definitely Lin Yi's wife!!!"

"I can't believe I saw my wife and son on a live stream, too exciting!!"

"I know which park it is now, let's go immediately!!"

"Count me in, I want to go too!!"

"Hahaha, this park will soon turn into a Lin Yi fan meet-and-greet."

"Who can blame our Lin Yi wife for being so popular? Fans are everywhere."

Lin Yi posed cutely for photos with the tourists.

After all, he was just a bear right now, and there was nothing wrong with being cute as a bear.

However, he soon noticed more and more people gathering around him through his costume, so he waved both hands and then took off with Huo Mianmian.

The two brown bears ran away with funny strides.

Someone quickly captured this scene and turned it into an emoji: "Escaping.jpg"

Soon, a large number of netizens came to grab the image.

"Sure enough, there are many good people; I've taken the picture."

"Thank you, netizens, saving it right away."

"This emoji is too cute, I wish I could hug and kiss the big one and the little one."

This incident quickly made it onto the trending topics.

Many netizens learned that Lin Yi had taken Huo Mianmian to the theme park.

"Ahhh, I just went there yesterday. If only I had gone a day later, I might have bumped into them!!!"

"I'm on my way there now, is it still possible?"

"Lin Yi wife, don't leave, wait for me!!"

"The owner of this park must be overjoyed with this wave of traffic."

"Shouldn't they give Lin Yi and Mianmian free admission at least?"

"Owner, come take a look, someone is promoting your park for free."

Before long, the manager of the theme park really appeared. He posted a message welcoming Lin Yi and offered to reimburse their tickets for this visit and even promised free admission for future visits.

"Woah, the owner is generous!"

"Trading tickets for such massive traffic, the owner isn't losing out."

"My Lin Yi wife is indeed a lucky star, bringing attention wherever she goes."

Lin Yi was initially unaware of these online developments.

It wasn't until he received a call from the park staff that he found out about it.

After hanging up, Lin Yi was somewhat bewildered. How did he suddenly become a trending topic?

But that didn't matter anymore. At the moment, he and Huo Mianmian had found a secluded spot, removed their costumes, and were eating hot dogs they had bought.

They had played enough and were now hungry.

Each taking a bite of the hot dog, they felt content.

Father and son sat on a bench, happily munching on their hot dogs.

Unbeknownst to them, countless fans were rushing over, hoping to bump into Lin Yi here.

When one fan discovered their location, all the fans soon knew about it.

Lin Yi didn't expect that even in such a remote spot, they would still be surrounded by fans.

At first, there was one, then two... eventually, there were over a hundred people.

It was like a mini meet-and-greet.

The fans were ecstatic upon seeing them, shouting excitedly.

Fortunately, these fans were very well-behaved. They didn't crowd forward but instead took out their notebooks and asked Lin Yi excitedly, "Linlin, can you sign for us?"

Lin Yi nodded, "Of course."

He took the paper and pen from the fan and signed his name swiftly.

The streamer who had been following them also came along.

After all, filming Lin Yi brought more traffic, and he wasn't foolish; he naturally wanted to capitalize on this opportunity.

"Ahhh, I envy those who are close by, I want a signature too!!"

"Waaah, who wouldn't want to be there? Unfortunately, by the time I get there, Linlin will probably have left."

"Can I still make it if I go now? Unfortunately, it takes over an hour to get there by subway."

"My goodness, does Lin Yi wife's beauty really exist? When she lowers her eyes, those eyelashes are unbelievably long."

"Maybe that's what they call 'eyelash queen'."

"Waaah, Lin Yi wife, my unseen wife!!"

"Mianmian is also so cute, sitting there quietly eating a hot dog without making any fuss."

"Isn't it just a hot dog? I'll go buy one right away. So, where can I get a kid like this?"

"Mianmian's cheeks are so chubby, just like jelly. I really want to give him a kiss."

"I could eat a kid like this in one bite!"

The fans who had arrived at the scene were orderly getting Lin Yi's autograph. After getting Lin Yi's autograph, they would playfully tease Huo Mianmian.

A young lady, trying to contain her excitement, said to Huo Mianmian, "Mianmian, do you want to play with me? I can give you some candy!"

Huo Mianmian replied in his soft voice, "It's getting dark, and I need to go home with Dad. Next time, I'll play with you~"

The young lady was so charmed that she stomped her foot and then extended her pinky to Huo Mianmian, saying, "Then let's make a pinky promise. We'll play together next time, okay?"

Huo Mianmian tilted his head and thought for a moment, "What if we can't keep the promise? I might not see you next time."

Such a cute little kid speaking so logically was an adorable contrast.

The young lady almost fainted from cuteness.

"Ahhhh, my adorable and smart little treasure!!"

"Did this young lady save the galaxy in her past life to be able to talk to Mianmian?"

"If I could talk to Mianmian, I'd be too excited to sleep all night."

As time passed, it grew darker outside.

After giving the last fan an autograph, Lin Yi received a message from Huo Jihan.

Huo Jihan: "Why aren't you at home?"

Lin Yi typed back, "Are you home? Mianmian and I are at a theme park."

Then he sent the park's address.

Huo Jihan, who had been waiting for his reply, responded almost instantly, "Wait there, I'll come pick you up."

Lin Yi put his phone away.

At that moment, a bolder fan asked, "Linlin, who were you chatting with just now? You looked so happy."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "Did I smile?"

All the fans nodded in unison, "Yes, you did!"

Lin Yi didn't realize that chatting with Huo Jihan could make him smile unconsciously without even noticing. However, he couldn't reveal this to the fans.

He raised an eyebrow again and said, "Who was it? Can you guess?"

His raised eyebrow was incredibly charming, especially under the park's lights, which made his eyes sparkle like stars.

The fans screamed with excitement.

Today's visit was totally worth it!!

Lin Yi chatted with the fans for a while longer, then checked his phone for the time. Huo Jihan should be arriving soon.

So he bid farewell to the fans, "Alright, Mianmian and I are going home. You should go home too, and be careful on the way."

The fans, receiving their idol's concern, nodded enthusiastically, "Okay, you two be careful too!!"

Lin Yi said to Huo Mianmian, "Mianmian, say goodbye to everyone."

Huo Mianmian waved his small hand, "Goodbye, brothers and sisters~"

The fans were thrilled again, "Goodbye, Mianmian!"

They were called "brothers and sisters," how delightful!

Soon, Lin Yi led Huo Mianmian away.

The fans reluctantly followed them for a few steps but stopped to watch them leave, unwilling to leave themselves.

"Really wish I could stay with Lin Yi forever!"

"Can't I go home with you? All I ask is for some food."

"Who gets to have both Lin Yi and Mianmian as treasures?"

"Weren't they guessing it's that powerful Mr. Huo?"

"If that's true, can I dream of seeing this family of three together?"

"Who would dare take a photo of Mr. Huo? Don't they value their lives?"

"Ugh, will I ever get to see Lin Yi's other half in my lifetime?"

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian walked out of the amusement park.

After playing for so long, Huo Mianmian started feeling sleepy and rubbed his eyes several times.

Seeing this, Lin Yi picked him up into his arms.

Huo Mianmian quickly fell asleep in his embrace.

By the roadside, a black Porsche was already parked.

The car was both low-key and luxurious, quietly resting there.

Passersby occasionally turned their heads to look.

Lin Yi walked over, opened the rear door of the car, and gently carried Huo Mianmian inside, placing him on the back seat. He then closed the door and got into the passenger seat himself.

Inside the car.

Huo Jihan sat in the driver's seat, not starting the engine immediately. Instead, he turned to Lin Yi and asked, "How was it?"

As Lin Yi fastened his seatbelt, he replied, "It was fun, but a lot of fans showed up later, which was quite unexpected."

Huo Jihan: "Fans?"

Lin Yi answered casually, "Yeah, probably because I was trending, so they came. They were a very enthusiastic and cute group of fans."

Hearing this, Huo Jihan took out his phone and searched.

He usually never paid attention to entertainment news, but since it was about Lin Yi, he was willing to take a look.

However, as Huo Jihan found the relevant information, his frown deepened: "These fans of yours..."

Lin Yi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Huo Jihan said in a serious tone, "Why do they call you 'wife'?"

Lin Yi: "..."

He blinked and said, "Well, it seems most fans in the industry call their idols 'husband' or 'wife.'"

Unfortunately, when Huo Jihan's possessiveness flared up, it wasn't easily appeased. He told Lin Yi, "Issue a statement and tell them not to call you 'wife' anymore."

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Is it really that big of a deal? Issuing a statement? People might think I'm weird."

Huo Jihan: "..."

He paused and then said, "Then we should make our relationship public."

Lin Yi smiled, "How did we get to this topic? Didn't we agree to wait for the right moment?"

After all, Huo Jihan was the president of the Huo Group, not just any ordinary person. Making their relationship public couldn't be done so casually.

Huo Jihan seemed to ignore Lin Yi's words, his dark eyes fixed on him; "Lin Yi, do you not want others to know about our relationship?"

After saying this, he stared intently at Lin Yi, not missing any expression on his face.

Lin Yi felt both amused and exasperated; "What are you talking about?"

Was Huo Jihan this scary when he was jealous?

Huo Jihan's gaze darkened.

Lin Yi raised his hand and assured him, "It's not what you think."

He then opened his arms with a smile, "By the way, you've been busy all day. Now that we're finally together, don't you want a hug?"

No one could resist such a charming Lin Yi.

Anyone would gladly give their heart to him.

Naturally, Huo Jihan was no exception. He leaned over and pulled Lin Yi into his embrace.

The grip was strong, as if he wanted to meld Lin Yi into his very being.

That way, Lin Yi would never leave him.
