When the others came closer and saw the food on the table, they were also stunned. No one seemed to have expected the program team to prepare such a simple dinner. However, no one said anything and they just sat down one by one.
The mothers were all in the entertainment industry. Although they had expectations for food, they were not that picky when it came to eating. After all, they were in public and were surrounded by cameras.
Furthermore, as female artists, they basically ate little to no dinner. Those who did not like to eat steamed buns could just have some cabbage and porridge.
Other than An Ruilin who was a little picky, the other four children were also very obedient.
Although Shen Yibo wanted to eat meat, he was hungry. The simple meal he had eaten on the plane had long since been digested, so he ate two steamed buns in a row.
[Watching Yibo eat cabbage and steamed buns, even I feel that the food tastes good.]
[I'm so envious of this child's appetite. If only my son could eat like this.]
[Children who are not picky about food are really easy to raise. It's also because Xiao Xue taught him well.]
Song Yuchen sat beside Ye Zhenzhen. After eating half a bun, he saw Fang Xiaoyu drinking water and said to her as well, "Auntie, I want some water."
The cup was placed a little high, so he could only ask Ye Zhenzhen for help.
Song Yuchen hadn't once called Ye Zhenzhen today. Never mind if he didn't, but the moment he did, everyone looked at Ye Zhenzhen in unison.
What was the name of this show? "Mum's Company".
Then why would a child call his mum "Auntie" instead?
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Ye Jianjian must be embarrassed. In her previous interviews, she even said that Baby Chen called her "mommy". It must be a slap in the face!]
[Being called "Auntie" by her stepson in public while participating in a parent-child show... I feel so embarrassed for her!]
[It's nothing. She's a stepmother after all. What's so important about what the child calls her?]
Ye Zhenzhen ignored everyone's gaze. She stood up and poured a cup of warm water for Song Yuchen. Then, she smiled and said, "Here, son."
Song Yuchen replied in his childish voice, "Thank you."
"Mommy, I want water too," This childish voice came from Shen Yibo.
At this moment, Han Jiangxue was rather pleased. She patted her son's head and said, "Alright, I'll pour it for you."
They were both stepmothers, but the way their children addressed them was completely different. Unknowingly, she had suppressed Ye Zhenzhen.
This was exactly what she wanted. She wanted to showcase all her good points with Ye Zhenzhen as a bad example.
[Hahahaha! Wow! Both are stepmothers, but at this moment, I feel awkward for Ye Jianjian.]
[Don't make the comparison too obvious, hahaha!]
[Xiao Xue is good to the child, which is why the child is so close to her. Unlike some people.]
Baby Yiyi asked Song Yuchen in confusion, "Brother Chen, why do you call your mother 'Auntie'?"
Then, she tilted her head and looked at Ye Zhenzhen as she wondered, "Auntie said that Brother Chen is her son, so why is she called Auntie?"
Yiyi's small head was filled with great confusion.
Hearing the child's question, Wu Yuerou looked like she was watching a good show and mocking Ye Zhenzhen. Ye Zhenzhen was probably here to embarrass herself.
Song Yuchen also noticed that the way he called Ye Zhenzhen "Auntie" had attracted everyone's attention, especially An Ruilin's mother. Was she mocking Ye Zhenzhen?
[There's no such thing as the most awkward situation. It only gets increasingly awkward. Ahhh!]
[I'm just asking, is there a worse scenario to be in?!]
Xu Wanjia quickly hugged her daughter and whispered, "Yiyi, eat your food properly."
After that, she turned around and apologized to Ye Zhenzhen with a smile, "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry. The child is still young and likes to ask why at this age. Don't take it to heart."
Ye Zhenzhen did not have a good relationship with her stepson. This news had been spreading all over the internet before the guest lineup of "Mum's Company" was announced.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Zhenzhen and Song Yuchen got along very well today.
Xu Wanjia thought that the rumors about Ye Zhenzhen and her son were just rumors. She did not expect Song Yuchen to call the latter "Auntie" in public and her own daughter would even ask about it.
She immediately felt sorry for Ye Zhenzhen.
In contrast, Ye Zhenzhen did not seem to care. She even caressed Yang Yike's braids and smiled, "It's okay. Everyone knows that I'm Baby Chen's stepmother. Besides, it doesn't matter if he calls me Mommy or Auntie. We're very casual at home. As long as Baby Chen is happy, it's alright."
In fact, this was Ye Zhenzhen's true thoughts. It was just a title. It did not matter what Song Yuchen called her. She would not force a child to do anything. As long as Song Yuchen was fine and did not fall sick like what was written in the book, everything else was extra.
Everyone was speechless.
Han Jiangxue thought, "Is she trying to find an excuse to cover up her embarrassment?"
[Ye Jianjian is so shameless! Baby Chen doesn't even call her Mommy, yet she keeps calling him her son.]
[Replying to the previous commenter, you're wrong to say that. It's legal for Ye Zhenzhen to address Baby Chen like that. How is she being shameless?]
[To think there's a brainless fan of Ye Jianjian here. This is hilarious! Is she great for marrying an old man?]
"Mommy, I want more water."
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard the voice. She lowered her head and looked at the cup that Song Yuchen handed to her. She was a little stunned. Did the little boy just call her "mommy"?
"Mommy!" The childish voice sounded again.
Ye Zhenzhen was speechless.
It was actually true! He was calling her.
The surrounding people were speechless as well.
Wu Yuerou was wondering what was going on.
Han Jiangxue's face stiffened. Was he joking? Didn't he never call her mother?
Ye Zhenzhen poured a glass of water for Baby Chen, and he smiled happily while saying, "Thank you, Mommy!"
His grape-like black eyes swept across the table without batting an eyelid. With this, these people would not laugh at Ye Zhenzhen anymore, right?
"You're... You're welcome!" Ye Zhenzhen was in a daze.
[This reversal is too fast. Those anti-fans who laugh at Zhenzhen, do continue, hahaha!]
[Tsk! Maybe Ye Jianjian is up to something.]
[Looking at it rationally, Ye Zhenzhen is actually quite nice.]
After dinner, Xiao Wen announced tomorrow's mission, "Mothers and children, please come here tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock to draw lots and receive ingredients for breakfast. Then, the mothers will make breakfast for the children."
[They have to make their own breakfast?]
[Getting to make their own breakfast is not bad. At least the program team provided the ingredients!]
[As far as I know, Ye Jianjian doesn't know how to cook. Hahaha, I heard that she blew up a kitchen on set.]
[That's the fun of watching variety shows. The program team will always think of ways to make things difficult for the guests and cause trouble!]
After receiving the mission, the mothers took no heed of it and took their children home.
There were cameras in every corner of the courtyard, running 24 hours. The guests could cover the cameras when they slept at night.
In the other live-stream rooms, the mothers would either bathe the children first before bathing or bathe with the children. Ye Zhenzhen was the only exception.
