The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 206 – Hot pot with kids (2)

Manage Yang didn’t normally eat at the shop. He was, after all, a Second Generation Rich who has many friends and families and all sorts of banquets to attend. Even though it was not a holiday today, his family had still booked a banquet at a restaurant for the relatives to get together. He didn’t need to head over till after 6 PM, so he had free time to chitchat and gossip with Yan Shuyu in the meantime.

With someone yakking with her and tending to a customer from time to time, time flew past quickly. Yan Shuyu felt that it had only been a blink of an eye when her little buddies came out to take over the shift. She went into the back happily to change out of her work clothes before she said to the two kids who were having fun on the couch, “I’m off work now. Let’s go get dinner.”

The two little carrots cheered and hopped off the couch, each of them holding onto one of her legs. Yan Shuyu, pleased, asked, “What do you want for dinner? Anything goes, my treat.”

The little male lead, after all, was not his father. He thoroughly enjoyed the dessert in the coffee shop. Yan Shuyu could still afford to treat him to dinner.

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi exchanged a look. The prestigious family’s little young master obviously hadn’t been eating out a lot. With a blank look on the little male lead’s little face, Zhang Yuanjia took over the responsibility and suggested, “How about hot pot? We haven’t had that in a while.”

He then turned to his little buddy and asked, “Do you like hot pot?”

His little buddy asked with a blank look on him, “What is… hot pot?”

Yan Shuyu and Zhang Yuanjia, “……”

They weren’t sure whether they should feel bad for the prestigious family’s little young master who has never even had this peasant’s delicacy or to first hug their own cubby selves. After some dubious silence, finally Zhang Yuanjia, with his intelligence, or perhaps his stubbornness towards hot pot, convinced the little male lead with just one line. “It’s delicious. You will see.”

Little Zhou Yi nodded agreeably. “Okay.”

And then, they headed toward their usual hot pot restaurant.

Zhang Yang was still waiting downstairs. He looked up abruptly when Yan Shuyu told him their destination, probably from surprise. Right when Yan Shuyu was starting to get nervous, he started the car with no hesitation. “Okay, sure.”

Yan Shuyu thought she heard a long sigh. She figured the boss had probably told him something in advance. Most likely something along the line of following her orders.

She didn’t think that the boss would be so trusting of her with his son. The boss’s faith in her made her feel very content.

Thinking about the boss, she couldn’t help but glance over at WeChat. She hasn’t heard anything back from him yet. It was probably almost one o’clock when he landed, and it probably took another 1 – 2 hours to settle down in the hotel. He’d just have 3-4 hours sleep right about now. So it’d make sense that he was still sleeping. Yan Shuyu didn’t dwell on it too much and happily surfed the web on their way to dinner.

Her action of browsing the web obviously caught the attention of the two little kiddos. Zhang Yuanjia was the first to ask, “Mommy, are you chatting with Uncle Zhou?”

“No.” Yan Shuyu, browsing through Weibo, explained without even looking up. “Uncle Zhou had been on the plane for over 10 hours. That was a long journey and he’s still resting right now. I figured he’d probably be up by around 8~9 o’clock?”

She didn’t just make up the 8~9 o’clock. According to studies on the internet, accomplished individuals, unlike peasants like Yan Shuyu who just tried to get by, only need about 6 hours of sleep a day to feel rested and energetic. The boss, too, was an accomplished individual, so that would most likely apply to him. Besides, she has the little male lead with her and they would be done before 9 o’clock and have taken home. If the boss hasn’t contacted her by then, she’d consider giving him a long-distance call as well.

Of course, if it’s too expensive, then never mind. ╮(╯3╰)╭
