Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 561 - 558

Ye Zhenzhen was slightly out of breath, her rosy lips lightly humming a sound. She wrapped her slender arms around the man’s shoulders, attempting to gently coax and push him away, "Song Jinze..."

The woman’s soft and mellow voice was almost enough to burn away the man’s remaining sanity. His hand slowly glided over her slender waist, his gaze deep and passionate, reflecting the flames burning in the depths of his heart.

Remembering that she was still in a special period, his eyes minutely shifted as thousands of thoughts entwined in his mind, repressing his innermost desires with great effort. In the end, he still let her go reluctantly.

He was silent for a moment, his large hand caressing her waist clenched slightly, the corners of his eyes tinged with a reddish hue, his voice deep. "Zhenzhen, would it be okay to leave the industry?"

Before tonight, he felt that as long as she enjoyed it, she was free to do whatever she liked in the entertainment industry.

But now, his thoughts had changed.

When he saw her in the embrace of another man, he instinctively felt as if his heart had been hollowed out, uncomfortable even though he knew it was just acting.

The woman he liked, for whatever reason, he didn’t want other men touching her.

What’s more, acting seemed to involve more than just hugs. There was more, and the very thought would cause his entire heart to painfully twist together.

Ye Zhenzhen gazed into the man’s deep, ink-like eyes. Leave the industry?

It’s undeniable, the man’s voice was like a magnetic force enriched with magic, extremely beguiling. If it weren’t for her firm determination towards acting, she would have likely nodded in agreement the next second.

She was obsessed with acting and loved it dearly; she also enjoyed experiencing the lives of different characters as an actress and giving life to the characters with her understanding.

To her, acting was a fascinating and beloved career.

In the bedroom, with their eyes locked, Ye Zhenzhen quietly contemplated the man’s handsome face and swiftly came to a conclusion.

"Song Jinze, are you jealous?"

Her eyes curved into a smile, lips curling up into a shallow grin. When she went to the set that evening, he seemed just fine. Yet after she finished work, this man seemed to have grown silent.

After kissing her upon his return, he came out with this line. If this wasn’t jealousy, what was it?

Song Jinze slowly bent over and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, his voice soft. "Mm, I’m jealous."

"I don’t want to see anyone else being intimate with you, even if holding hands and hugging are just parts of a play, I don’t want to see them."

"Because you are Mrs. Song," the man’s voice was low and clear, yet also enchanting.

Ye Zhenzhen’s gradually calming heartbeat sped up once again, her resolute eyes flickered slightly. "This script only involves hugging, nothing else."

"Moreover, you are my husband, and you can embrace me whenever you want."

As she spoke, she opened her arms and wrapped them around the man’s waist, tiptoed to lightly kiss his thin lips, and laughed. "Not only can you hug, but you can also kiss."

The man’s gloomy mood improved considerably, but his strong possessiveness did not relent one bit.

"It’s not like this is the only play you’ll be in, right? What about others in the future? Or even more intimate scenes than these?"

A hug was only what he had seen tonight, what about other intimate scenes he wouldn’t see in the future?

Ye Zhenzhen pursed her rosy lips, her beautiful brows arched in a playful and bright smile, dismissively saying, "I naturally wouldn’t accept those kinds of scripts! Not all scripts have these hugging or intimate scenes, right?"

In her past life, that’s exactly how she had worked, hardly ever accepting roles with intimate scenes. She had the talent and could choose the scripts she liked and suited her.

Even with unacceptable plot points, she could always discuss with the screenwriter and director.

So, if this matter was only about what the man cared about, she felt it wasn’t a big deal. As long as he wasn’t adamantly stating to oppress her and force her retirement from the industry, she believed everything was negotiable.

Song Jinze’s eyelashes drooped slightly, and a good-looking but slightly helpless arc formed on his lips, "Yes and no."

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to compromise; it was just that after seeing her filming scenes in the afternoon at the crew, he couldn’t accept it.

"What do you mean by ’yes and no’?"

"Take some more time to think about this issue, don’t rush to give me an answer, and I will do the same. Let’s both give it some serious thought, okay?"

If in the end, she insisted on her own ideas, then he too would make some changes in response to her thoughts.

Ye Zhenzhen’s attitude was firm, "What’s there to think about? No need to think, trust me, the things I told you today, I will definitely see them through."

Talking about anything else was fine, but the one thing that was not okay was retiring from the spotlight.

Absolutely not.

Song Jinze let out a soft sigh, "I don’t doubt you, it’s just that being an actor is not only tiring but also involves physical contact with other men. You could live a much easier and more comfortable life..."

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t want to listen to him continue, she pushed him away with a bit of force, breaking free from his embrace, "As for whether or not to continue acting, I don’t need to think about it. You’re the one who should consider whether or not you are stifling my passion and career with your ideas, that’s not right, you..."

——"Mom, Dad, it’s time for dinner!"

The voice of Xiao Chen came from the corridor outside the room.

The man frowned, "How am I in the wrong?"

"You’re petty!"

Ye Zhenzhen opened the door of the bedroom directly, went out, and took Xiao Chen’s hand, intending to walk downstairs.

Song Yuchen asked, "Mom, why isn’t Dad coming out?"

"He’ll come in a bit, let’s go down first," Ye Zhenzhen said, her tone clearly not good.

She was angry at the man’s domineering and authoritarian ways.

They say relationships affect career development, and it couldn’t be more true; her career hadn’t even picked up yet, and it was already being hindered by the person beside her in bed. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

At this moment, she remembered the first day she arrived in this world, the cold words spoken by this jerk, so annoying, too annoying!

*

At bedtime, after Ye Zhenzhen had told Song Yuchen three stories in his room, the little guy still showed no sign of sleepiness.

"Xiao Chen, it’s time to sleep now, it’s already very late."

Song Yuchen hugged Ye Zhenzhen and whined in a babyish voice, "Mom, I want you to sleep with me. Can you sleep here with me tonight?"

Ye Zhenzhen raised her hand and touched the little guy’s chubby face, "Of course, I can."

It just so happened that she didn’t want to go back to the master bedroom to sleep; she hadn’t paid any attention to that jerk during dinner, and now she wanted even less to see him at bedtime.

Soon, the little one fell asleep in the warm embrace of his mother.

But not long after, half asleep and half awake, Ye Zhenzhen could sense the familiar cold fragrance lingering around her nose.

The next second, she was swept into a pair of strong arms and pulled into a thick and warm embrace, her body losing its balance.

The man held her as he walked out of the children’s room, heading straight for the master bedroom...
