Chapter 5

Lin Yi obtained Huo Jihan's contact information from the Steward.

He returned to his bedroom and lazily leaned against the headboard before starting to add Huo Jihan on WeChat.

After all, they had never met in person, so calling directly seemed inappropriate and might lead to an awkward silence. Messaging on WeChat would be much better.

Lin Yi found Huo Jihan's WeChat and carefully added a note: "Hello, Mr. Huo, I am Lin Yi."

Considering the time difference, it was daytime where Huo Jihan was, so he should see the message.

Sure enough, after about ten minutes, the friend request was accepted.

Lin Yi's eyes widened slightly as he prepared to type a message to discuss taking Huo Mianmian on a parenting variety show.

But in the next moment, a notification sounded, indicating that a sum of money had been deposited into his bank account.

Five million!!!

Lin Yi's eyes immediately widened, and he sat up straight on the bed.

What was going on?!

Upon reflection, it seemed that Huo Jihan thought he was adding him to inquire about the monthly allowance, so he preemptively transferred the money.

Lin Yi: !!!

So this is what it feels like to earn money effortlessly?!

It's absolutely amazing, isn't it?!

At that moment, Huo Jihan was no longer just a stranger of a husband but a shining ATM machine!!!

Lin Yi laughed so hard he almost rolled around on the bed at the sight of the extra five million in his account.

After finally calming down a bit, he quickly typed a message to Huo Jihan: "Mr. Huo, how have you been lately? Please take good care of yourself!!!"

Only if Huo Jihan lived a long life could he continue receiving five million every month!!

Soon, a reply came through.

"Huo Jihan: ..."

"Huo Jihan: Is that why you contacted me?"

For some reason, despite the simple words, there was a strong aura emanating from them.

Perhaps it was because Huo Jihan gave off such a cold and detached impression that even his text messages felt icy.

Lin Yi was about to type "Yes" impulsively but then calmed down and brought up the main topic: "Actually, I plan to take Mianmian on a parenting variety show. What do you think?"

To convince Huo Jihan, Lin Yi added: "Exposing Mianmian to new experiences might benefit him."

After all, Huo Mianmian showed signs of being slightly withdrawn, and staying cooped up in the villa might worsen his condition. Participating in the show, exploring more, and meeting new friends might help improve his situation.

After a while, a reply came: "If Mianmian agrees, I have no objections."

Lin Yi continued typing: "Okay, I'll ask Mianmian for his opinion."

Huo Jihan replied succinctly: "Alright."

That was it; they had nothing else to say since they were truly strangers.

Apart from business matters, there was nothing else to discuss.

Lin Yi exited the chat with Huo Jihan and saw the extra five million in his bank account again.
