The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 240 – Why don’t we get a hotel room nearby? (2)

“Yanyan,” said Zhou Qinhe in a different tone. His voice was so tender that water could drip from it. “I’ve missed you and wanted to see you as soon as I land.”

Oh darn. So that was how he was going to play his cards? The disappointing Yan Shuyu felt her knees weakened from his words. She had no choice but to reply docilely, “Okay, I will go pick you up.” QAQ

“See you tonight then.” Boss Zhou, his purpose fulfilled, chuckled lightly before he hung up on the phone. Yan Shuyu, staring at her own phone, was disappointed at herself.

It was 4 PM and chauffeur Xiao Fang had delivered his little young master and the little young master’s little buddy over to the coffee shop without having to bother Liu Ci or the others. The two little kiddos had already forgotten all about the unpleasantness of being ditched by Yan Shuyu that morning. Once they arrived at Sunshine House, they happily threw their arms around Yan Shuyu’s thighs all over again as they looked up at her eagerly.

“Mommy, is Uncle Zhou coming back today?”

The little male lead was eagerly anticipating it as well. “Aunty Yan, are you going to pick Daddy up?”

Yan Shuyu was still mad at herself for being an idiot and the children were poking at where it hurt most. Abandoning all hope, Yan Shuyu nodded. As a result of that, the little kiddos were looking at her with envy. Zhang Yuanbao couldn’t help but say to her, “I want to go pick up Uncle Zhou too.”

Zhou Yi didn’t say anything but, judging from the frequency of his nods, they’ve said it all.

Looking at the two little kiddos who had no idea how lucky they were, Yan Shuyu grumbled, “Okay, let’s see if you can stay up that late then.”

Yan Shuyu was certain that they would be very tired before it was time to go pick up Zhou Qinhe, so there was no need to bring them with her. Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi, naturally, were extremely confident in their ability to stay up and started defending themselves. Yan Shuyu argued with the children seriously for a few minutes and that even ended up in a bet – that if they were able to stay awake until then, she’d bring them to the airport with her.

The one adult and two children all believed that they were right and that the outcome couldn’t be more obvious and that was what was on their minds when they headed home.

Yan Shuyu did not leave work early today. The “baggage” that came with her, naturally, also had dinner at the shop with her.

After dinner, the pastry chef Han-jie took the liberty to bake two boxes of little bunny crackers for Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi. As such, on their way home, the two little kiddos each had a box of crackers in their hands as they bounced up and down and turned around to wait for Yan Shuyu from time to time.

Bet or no bet, the little kiddos did not get upset at Yan Shuyu. They were very reasonable and did not let the bet affect them. As such, the three of them went home hand in hand as though they were one big happy family.

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi’s plan was to play until past 10 PM, then leave with Mommy/Aunty Yan to the airport. Unfortunately, Yan Shuyu had forced them to bathe as soon as they’d gotten home before she placed them onto the bed, in their pajamas. “Play on the bed and don’t come down. We haven’t mopped in days.”

The little kiddos liked to remain clean as well. They all nodded in agreement after what Yan Shuyu had said.

As they could not play with their toys on the ground, they started watching cartoons in bed.

To be fair, Yan Shuyu, too, went to bathe and remove her makeup after she was done taking care of the two children.

She had already video-chatted with the boss without makeup on and he had praised her for her young look. Yan Shuyu now has a bizarre confidence about herself. She felt that even if she went to pick the boss up with messy hair and a dirty face, he’d still find her charming. It was still two hours before time to leave to pick up the boss. Shu Yan laid down in bed to rest with no hesitation after she had cleaned up. This way, she could go right back to sleep after she had picked the boss up. How wonderful was that?

As such, Yan Shuyu, in her pajamas laid down comfortably in bed.
