The Salted Fish Transmigrates as a Wealthy Stepdad and Goes Viral on a Parenting Variety Show - Chapter 5

Gu Wancheng poked his head out to look. A black sedan had stopped at the entrance, and the driver stood respectfully to one side after opening the car door.

Bo Yizhou, tall and slender in a black suit, slowly stepped out of the car. He nodded to the driver and then walked toward the entrance with steady steps.

Gu Wancheng blinked his eyes. This should be his “cheap husband.” He could not see the man’s face, but his physique was impressive. His legs were incredibly long. Gu Wancheng wondered what he looked like without clothes, and the thought made his face turn red.

Suddenly, Bo Yizhou stopped walking. Just as Gu Wancheng felt confused, Bo Yizhou abruptly looked up.

In an instant, Gu Wancheng’s heart skipped a beat. He pulled the curtains shut and pressed his hand against his chest. His heart was thumping hard. Because the room was so quiet, the sound of his heartbeat was very distinct.

After a moment, Gu Wancheng lowered his hand but then suddenly covered his face with both hands. Why was he feeling guilty? Why was he so nervous?

Recalling that brief glimpse just now, Gu Wancheng blushed silently. It was bad; this man was exactly his type.

Downstairs, Bo Yizhou frowned slightly. He had just felt as though someone was watching him. That direction seemed to be the master bedroom, which meant Gu Wancheng was looking at him.

To be honest, he was not familiar with this marriage partner and had no particular thoughts about him. It was only because his mother liked Gu Wancheng so much that he had looked into him. His character was fine, and he was not the type to have hidden motives.

He remembered how nervous Gu Wancheng had looked during their first meeting. Gu Wancheng had let out a massive sigh of relief upon hearing that Bo Yizhou would not be staying overnight. He did not understand if he was some kind of monster.

“Father!” Because his television time was over, Chaochao had been forced to log off and was about to make a fuss. However, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bo Yizhou walking in.

His eyes sparkled, and he dashed over to hug Bo Yizhou’s leg tightly.

“Father, you are finally back! You have not been back for such a long time,” he coaxed in a soft, sweet voice while looking up.

The corners of Bo Yizhou’s mouth curled up slightly. He reached out with his well-defined hand and rubbed Chaochao’s small, curly hair.

Chaochao was not angry at all. Instead, he rubbed his head vigorously against Bo Yizhou’s hand.

Gu Wancheng composed himself and went downstairs. Seeing this scene from a distance, he crossed his arms and let out a soft huff. He felt a bit sour inside. This little child already knew how to use double standards at such a young age.

Butler Chen stood quietly to the side. Seeing Gu Wancheng come down, he greeted him, “Mr. Gu.”

Bo Yizhou looked up. Gu Wancheng was standing not far away with his arms crossed, watching them.

Bo Yizhou was momentarily dazed. Gu Wancheng seemed a bit different from their first meeting. He felt more vivid and lively. At this moment, he was looking down at Chaochao with his mouth slightly pouted.

Bo Yizhou followed Gu Wancheng’s gaze. Chaochao was still rubbing against his hand. He could not help but find it funny. Was Gu Wancheng jealous?

Hearing Butler Chen call him, Gu Wancheng nodded gently. Bo Yizhou poked Chaochao’s head, receiving a confused look in return.

Bo Yizhou cleared his throat and pointed behind the boy.

Chaochao turned his head and saw his Daddy standing not far behind him. Seeing Daddy’s expressionless face, Chaochao suddenly felt a strange sense of guilt.

He blinked his eyes. He remembered that he had said he did not like people touching his head. Daddy must have just seen him acting so clingy with his Father.

Daddy was actually quite good to him. He slept with him, said he would talk to Father about reducing his homework, and let him watch My Little Pony, even if it was only for a little while. Thinking about this, Chaochao felt even more guilty.

He let go of Bo Yizhou’s leg, feeling at a loss. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He ran to Gu Wancheng and stood on his tiptoes to grab his hand.

Gu Wancheng was confused. He wanted to see what this little brat was up to.

He saw Chaochao pull his hand and place it on top of his head. Then, the boy rubbed his own head against Gu Wancheng’s hand, just as he had done to Bo Yizhou.

Gu Wancheng froze. A flash of surprise went through his eyes. He looked down at the boy, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.

Children really were angels, excluding the brats.

As he felt the sensation of being rubbed against his hand, his thoughts drifted. Chaochao really looked like a puppy right now, specifically a little curly-haired puppy. He was adorable.

Chaochao noticed that Gu Wancheng still had no reaction after the rubbing. He peeked up and locked eyes with him, which made him jump in fright.

Gu Wancheng’s unhappy mood vanished instantly. He pinched the boy’s small cheeks a few times and laughed.

Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally cheered him up. It was all thanks to the method he saw on television. That was what the dogs on television did when they made people angry.

He knew he could learn many things from television, yet Father still would not let him watch it. Chaochao thought proudly.

Bo Yizhou watched the interaction between the two of them without saying a word.

Butler Chen had left at some point. It was only then that Gu Wancheng seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked up, nodded to Bo Yizhou, and smiled. “You are back.”

After saying that, he bit his lip and added hesitatingly, “Husband?”

Bo Yizhou was stunned. Something flashed quickly in his eyes. Looking at those red lips and the tooth marks left from the bite, he gave a soft hum of acknowledgment.

Gu Wancheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but stopped.

For a moment, it became quiet. It felt as though the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

Gu Wancheng’s heart was weeping. Enough! Are we performing a mime? He felt so awkward that he could have crawled into a hole.

Chaochao looked at them in confusion and scratched his head. “Father, Daddy, are you playing the wooden man game?”

The eerie atmosphere was broken by Chaochao’s words. Gu Wancheng gave him an appreciative look. He felt like kissing the boy twice right then and there. It was not in vain that he had been so good to him; the boy was useful at critical moments.

Bo Yizhou looked away. Without that gaze on him, Gu Wancheng felt relieved. “Daddy is not playing a game.”

“Then why are you not talking? Why are you standing here without moving?”

Bo Yizhou acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He looked at Gu Wancheng, waiting to see how he planned to answer the question.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Gu Wancheng was speechless. Just as he was about to speak, Chaochao punched his own palm with one hand.

“Are you going to kiss?”

Gu Wancheng was struck with horror. “Chaochao, why would you say that?” Where did he hear such things?

He stole a glance at Bo Yizhou. The man still had that calm and unruffled expression, as if the person mentioned in Chaochao’s words had nothing to do with him.

Chaochao tilted his head and said innocently, “Suisui said his daddy and mommy kiss every time they come home. They even do not let him watch. Are you not kissing because I am here? I will not look at you. Quick, go ahead and kiss.”

After saying that, Chaochao immediately covered his face with his hands.

Gu Wancheng thought, My silence is deafening.

If your fingers were actually closed together, I might believe you were really not looking.

Watching Chaochao’s round eyes rolling around constantly, Gu Wancheng’s mouth twitched. His eyes involuntarily drifted toward Bo Yizhou, hoping he would speak up.

The man Gu Wancheng placed his high hopes on smiled slightly under Gu Wancheng’s expectant gaze. He said leisurely, “Shall we kiss?”

Shall we kiss!

Those words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Gu Wancheng stunned. He felt a sharp internal scream.

Look at what you are saying! Kiss, kiss, kiss! Kiss your head!

Chaochao’s expectant voice came from nearby. “Quick, kiss! Quick, kiss! I promise I am not looking.”

Gu Wancheng took a deep breath. “Why do you want us to kiss so badly?”

He struggled to utter those words.

Chaochao tilted his neck and said proudly, “Because Suisui has never seen his daddy and mommy kiss! I can go and show off!”
