The Reluctant Tycoon Stepdad Who Suddenly Soared In Popularity

episode 2

The steward immediately understood what Lin Yi intended to do and exclaimed, "Mr. Lin, you're going to climb in through the window?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, "What else? Stand here and wait?"

Lin Yi was very fair-skinned and had a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes with thick lashes that cast shadows beneath his eyelids. Normally, this would suggest a rather delicate appearance.

But at this moment, as Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and let his gaze fall lightly on the person, it gave off a sense of pressure.

The steward was startled and quickly nodded in agreement, beginning to make preparations.

Three minutes later, Lin Yi and a group of people arrived at the back of the villa.

Young Master Huo's bedroom was on the second floor.

A ladder was leaning against the outer wall, allowing one to climb up.

However, the ladder wasn't long enough to reach the window, making it somewhat dangerous to climb up.

The steward hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

What if Mr. Lin gets injured?

But Lin Yi didn't think much about it. He quickly took off his coat, tossed it to one of the servants, and then nimbly climbed up the ladder.

He soon reached the top of the ladder, still some distance from the window.

Lin Yi, confident and bold, easily leaped upward, quickly reaching a windowsill and then climbing up to Young Master Huo's window.

Everyone watching below widened their eyes.

Was this still their delicate Mr. Lin?

After successfully sitting on the windowsill, Lin Yi rubbed his slightly numb arms.

There was no way around it; this body was just too weak. In his previous life, climbing a window would have been nothing; he'd been to far more dangerous places.

As he rubbed his arms, Lin Yi looked through the window.

Then he saw the legendary young master of the Huo family.

Young Master Huo was only three years old, still a soft and cuddly human child.

At the moment, he was sitting on the carpet in his room, reading a picture book with a slightly pursed lip, deeply focused. After finishing a page, he would turn it with his small hands.

When he found something amusing, he would smile, revealing two tiny dimples on his cheeks.

Lin Yi had never interacted with human children before and was touched by this sight.

Human children are indeed adorable!

However, Young Master Huo had mild autism?

At this moment, Lin Yi gently tapped on the window.

Initially, Huo Mianmian showed no reaction and continued to focus on his book.

Lin Yi tapped again and waved his arm.

Finally, Huo Mianmian lifted his head.

When he saw someone on the windowsill, his bright black eyes widened in surprise.

Lin Yi smiled at him and gestured for him to open the window.

Huo Mianmian was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips, put down his picture book, got up from the ground, and ran over to open the window for Lin Yi.

He was too short to reach the window lock, so he returned with a small stool, climbed onto it, stood on tiptoe, and opened the window with his chubby little hands.

After opening the window, Lin Yi leaped in and landed in the bedroom.

Huo Mianmian looked at Lin Yi in amazement, his large eyes full of curiosity.

Lin Yi squatted down, trying to look him in the eye, and smiled, "Curious how I got up here? Can you answer my question first?"

Huo Mianmian, whether understanding or not, continued to stare at Lin Yi with wide eyes, not speaking.

Knowing Huo Mianmian's special condition, Lin Yi didn't expect an answer and continued, "Why did you lock the door? Everyone is worried."

Huo Mianmian blinked but still didn't speak. Instead, he walked over and unlocked the door with his short legs.

Lin Yi was slightly surprised by this action and asked, "Did you not hear the knocking?"

Huo Mianmian shook his head.

At the moment, he was wearing a yellow Pikachu pajama set with a hat. When he shook his head, the Pikachu ears on the hat wiggled, looking incredibly cute.
