“Of course there is someone.” Zhou Qinhe acted like he had heard a very funny joke. Clutching the cellphone for a while, he finally said, “There’s a relief chauffeur.”
“Oh, there’s a relief chauffeur,” said Yan Shuyu, looking embarrassed. These wicked wealthy people, she thought to herself. She quickly added, “Who is his relief then? Can you have him come and pick Xiao Yi up soon?”
Yan Shuyu didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she had said, but the boss, who had been easy going this entire time, suddenly refused to play along anymore. He asked her abruptly, “Are you rushing to send Xiao Yi off?”
Naturally, Yan Shuyu immediately got the subtle accusation in his tone.
The boss used to use this tone with her all the time a while back, but he had “fixed” this issue ever since the two of them have been together, and he pretty much let her have her ways all the time. As someone who was very good at pushing her luck, Yan Shuyu had long forgotten the days when the boss would always make her knees feel weak from her fear of him. Hearing his accusation all of a sudden, she reflexively reflected upon herself. Was it that obvious?
Yan Shuyu could swear that even though she was anxious to send the little male lead home, it was not because she resented him. He’s the male lead of this book, the chosen one. As the cannon fodder stepmother, who was she to resent him? She wanted to send him on his way as soon as possible because of some uneasy feelings that she had. After all, being close with the male lead and avoiding her fate as a cannon fodder was one thing, but she also didn’t want to be too close to him as she didn’t have the intention to become his stepmother.
Besides, Yan Shuyu never intended to have the little male lead stay over at her home. He invited himself. She had already let him spend the night. And now he didn’t even want to leave?
Thinking of that, Yan Shuyu straightened up her back again. She couldn’t be straightforward and crude with the boss, but she could at least subtly express her thoughts. “I only have Xiao Yi’s best interest in mind. My place is so small and the three of us shared one bed together last night. What if Xiao Yi didn’t have a good night’s sleep? I figured once he gets home, he can take a nap or something if he wants to.”
Finally, Yan Shuyu stressed that, “Besides, we have already reached an agreement this morning.”
The little male lead did not object when she suggested having Uncle Zhang pick him up and take him home. Yan Shuyu assumed he had agreed to that arrangement. The more she talked, the more confident she felt. The boss, on the other hand, only chuckled inexplicably and said, “Perhaps we should ask Xiao Yi again what he wants to do?”
Yan Shuyu had a bad feeling all of a sudden. The boss was not the kind who would suggest anything that he didn’t already know the answer to. Something must be going on there. She shook her head reflexively, “No, I am not asking him that…”
Zhou Qinhe merely gave a nonchalant “Mmm.” Yan Shuyu, who was just shaking her head, was intimidated immediately. She immediately gave in and said, “Eh, okay, let me go ask him right now. You are right, we should find out what it is that he wants to do.”
Having said that, Yan Shuyu went over to Manager Yang’s office to look for the little male lead. She comforted herself on her way; as scheming as the boss was, he could not see into the future. And she did confirm with the little male lead this morning, so her odds were still very good.
Nevertheless, when she squatted in front of the little young master, who was playing the Rubik’s cube by himself, and asked him with a smile, he gave her a cute look and said to her, “Aunty Yan, can I stay with you?”
Yan Shuyu felt that she could only see darkness in front of her. She wasn’t going to give in just like that, “What, what do you mean by that?”
Zhou Yi put down the Rubik’s cube, slid off the couch, looked at Yan Shuyu eagerly and said, “I want to stay over at Aunty Yan’s today also.”
As he had gotten closer, Zhou Qinhe had also heard his answer. He smiled calmly and said, “Thank you in advance for taking care of him then, Yanyan.”
Yan Shuyu, “……”
