The Rich Stepfather Became Popular After Slacking Off

Corporate drone Lin Yi suddenly died from overwork and when he opened his eyes again, he had become the cannon fodder in a contract marriage with a wealthy tycoon. In this marriage, Lin Yi had absolutely no presence. His overbearing CEO husband never came home, only sending a cold five million yuan allowance to his card each month. Lin Yi: There’s actually something this good? Time to lie flat and coast! On top of that, Lin Yi had a stepson. His stepson, Huo Mianmian, was a three-year-old toddler—small, soft, delicate, and beautiful—but he was unusually quiet and extremely wary, rarely getting close to anyone. Lin Yi didn’t need to raise the kid, so he lived freely. His biggest daily dilemma was figuring out how to spend money. When he was happy, he would buy a shop; when he wasn’t, he would buy a sports car… — Due to a contract, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian ended up appearing on a parenting reality show together. The original owner of this body didn’t have a good reputation in the entertainment industry, and netizens immediately began mocking and ridiculing: 【Isn’t Lin Yi that attention-seeking nobody? He better not corrupt the kid!!】 【Exactly, I heard the young master of the Huo family has signs of autism. What if Lin Yi makes it worse?】 【Can Lin Yi just get out of the entertainment circle already!!】 But once the show started filming, things turned out very different from what the netizens had imagined. The stepson was incredibly attached to Lin Yi, following him around like a little tail. When the two were in a room together, wherever Lin Yi went, the stepson followed. If Lin Yi stopped, the kid would bump into him with a soft “thud,” then he would rub his little forehead with his chubby hand and keep following him without crying. When they ate together, the stepson would carry his tiny stool and sit right next to Lin Yi. If he saw Lin Yi pushing aside the food he didn’t like, he would patiently remind him, “Xiao Ba, being picky is bad for your health~” When they did activities together, other families were working hard to win games. Lin Yi would lazily lounge in a chair, patting the seat beside him. “Kiddo, come rest a bit.” The stepson shook his head, then clenched his little fists and said in a soft baby voice, “Xiao Ba, wait for me to bring us first place!” The stepson was sweet and obedient, and even when he acted up, it looked like this— He would lie on the ground, whining and refusing to get up. Lin Yi, sitting nearby playing on his phone, would casually remind him, “Move over a bit, the maid auntie needs to sweep.” “Oh~” the stepson would reply obediently, scooting to the side. Once the maid finished cleaning, he would lie right back in the same spot. The father and son duo went viral overnight. 【Lin Yi’s parenting looks way too easy!!!】 【Is Lin Yi some kind of child-rearing master? How did he get the kid to be so attached to him??】 Very soon, netizens discovered that not only was Lin Yi good at raising the kid—he had even managed to get the Huo family’s second young master and third young lady completely in line. The once-hopeless second young master now stood on the championship stage of the world e-sports tournament. The once-spoiled and willful third young lady had become a highly praised Best Actress. These siblings couldn’t stop talking about how amazing their “Saozi” Lin Yi was and followed his every word. Netizens were completely floored. The man in question, Lin Yi, looked utterly unbothered. Taming two big bratty kids? Isn’t that the easiest thing ever? — A hater exposed that Lin Yi and Huo family’s eldest son, Huo Jihan, were only in a business marriage and had no real feelings for each other. Not long after, at the end of an event, the always cold and ruthless Huo Jihan pulled Lin Yi into his arms and kissed him—then carried him into the car… The entire internet crashed. This is what they call “no feelings”?!
