Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 11

“Bos Zhou said the children's song I played last time was quite interesting, so he brought his son here to hear it. But as soon as he heard that today was not a good day, he immediately left. He doesn't even eat his food.”

His little friends, “....”.

They're all the same. As one of the many commoners, they lived a very ordinary life. When someone like Boss Zhou with an almost god-like status suddenly enters into their lives and it seems like he is somewhat interested in their Yan-jie, the, they are just as excited about winning a $5 million lottery ticket. In the end, it was not because the boss was interested in Yan-jie, but because he felt that he was an attractive and kind person with the kids.

Everyone started to feel bad for Yan Shuyu. Sherry who had a setback in front of the boss seemed to have rediscovered her pride and she was the first to break the silence.she doesn't even know what romance is.”

No, little jie jie, I think the boss has a good idea of what romance is. His skill is ... quite perfect.

Yan Shuyu looked at Sherry and decided not to share her own thoughts.

Yan Shuyu disagreed with Sherry and so did her little friends. They more or less had the same thoughts in line with what he was thinking. His colleagues state that Boss Zhou simply seems like a very successful entrepreneur with high intelligence and emotional intelligence. He might have gone through such a scenario many times and that was his reason for gently rejecting it.

One of them said, “Didn't he come here with a girl last time? The girl looked like a high-class woman. Billionaires may prefer that type.”

Sherry, who failed to regain her position successfully, wisely changed the subject, “But Yanyan, why don't you play the piano for Boss Zhou? If she orders so much food without planning to eat it, if only you comfort her child for her, who knows how much she will give?”

“Well, I don't know. He called me and told me kindly that his son asked why the server had swapped. I will not betray our Sherry, so I have to find an excuse and tell her that I am not feeling well today and my colleague is good enough to help me.” Yan Shuyu made it sound very reasonable, "Later Boss Zhou said it was too bad that his son would not appreciate my performance today and asked for a check before I could say anything more."

Sherry bought the whole story and even felt a little guilty after hearing the explanation. He wrapped one hand around his neck and said, “I'm so sorry to have made you lose your extra income. I'll take you to get a BBQ after work as a way to make up for it for you.

Yan Shuyu was not someone who would be embarrassed when someone offered to take her to dinner. He even brought his instant son to take advantage of Sherry's offer.

They did not go for BBQ as Sherry suggested; instead, they went to “secret base” Yan Shuyu and Zhang Yuanbao – hot pot place nearby. And the three of them were sweating as they ate.

After eating, Yan Shuyu and his little friend returned to be friends. Sherry has the nickname of a player at Sunshine House because she is always interested in the next guy and her passion for them is always short-lived. He passes from male god to male god every 3-5 days. His little interaction with Zhou Qinhe was just a small incident that Sherry would soon forget.

Yan Shuyu forgot about the incident even faster than Sherry had experienced; she did not even need to shift her fondness elsewhere. He forgot that the boss had gone to the restaurant again not long after. Day after day, she shows up in the excitement of working and making money.

Before he knew it, the next weekend was there and the boss was looking to bring the male lead to the restaurant again.

Yan Shuyu almost had a nervous breakdown when she saw Father and son Zhou in the Sunlight House again. What is so interesting to them that they will come back again and again?

If they continued to come every week like this, Yan Shuyu needed to seriously consider changing jobs. He might be able to ignore the fact that bosses like to come here from time to time, but now he brings his main son with him every time he comes. This was a child that would turn into his son's mortal enemy as he matured and grind them until there was nothing left. He definitely had no interest in mingling with his enemies day after day.

Unfortunately, he could only think about it. He won't change his job, maybe not in this life. The job is comfortable and fun, and the bonuses and extras add up to be higher than his salary. Not to mention taking his kids to a free food and drink shop every day. Where else would he find another job like that?

Yan Shuyu had set her mind. Until he can find a more comfortable job by saying maybe get a certificate and teach at a training facility, he will stay at Sunshine House. No one can make it switch. So, as much as he grumbled to himself, he praised the boss politely and kindly, “Boss Zhou, take your son with you again? You are very good!”

This time the boy did not need to be introduced. Blinking his big, round eyes, Zhou Yi greeted Yan Shuyu voluntarily. She did not appear as expressionless as in front of a stranger, her two dimples were somewhat visible when she said, "Hi, Aunt Yan."

“Hai, Nak.” Yan Shuyu was surprised by the treatment he received. She's just a cannon fodder stepmother. He felt a lot of pressure when the male lead was so kind to him, more pressure than when he suspected that his father was interested in him. In the novel, "he", after all, is the official Mrs Zhou, the designated spouse of the boss. So he had some feelings for her still making sense. Now that the male lead was so kind to her, didn't it start to stray from her character's setting?

As he grumbles at himself, the boss, whom he has just "praised" also suddenly exits his character and asks him about what he wants to avoid talking about, "I've heard that you are a single mother. What do you do with your child when you work on the weekends?”

Zhou Qinhe's tone was relaxed like they were just two people chatting. His topic, on the other hand, almost gave Yan Shuyu goosebumps.

He felt he got it again. The boss did not come to the store many times for him. It was his son he was aiming for. The novel's storyline has proven that too; no one makes a better villain cannon fodder than his instant son. The boss of the man must be good at making accurate and cruel judgments.

Fortunately, his instant son was still training in kindergarten. The appearance of children is much different from that of adults, because their exercise runs longer. The teacher said that they would take at least 1-2 months. The boss could come as often as he wanted, but he would not meet his son, much less coax him away from him.

Thinking of that, he straightened his back again and put on a fake smile, "Oh, he doesn't go to school on weekends, so he stays home alone."

"Ah, really?" Zhou Qinhe didn't mean much when he asked, but his answer had now attracted his interest. With a half-smile, she asked him, "You feel comfortable not taking your child to the store with you?"

Yan Shuyu felt that her true intentions were finally being seen. He shook his head in a very decisive manner and said, "Don't worry, he's always like that."

So give up already. You can come here every day, but you still won't meet my son!

Boss Zhou did not understand that he was very protective of his son, but the way he tried to lie to him in the most serious way caught his attention. He gave her a very meaningful look and said, "I understand ..."

Yan Shuyu still maintained her fair and strong appearance, but deep down she was already panicking from her appearance. He quickly changed the subject, “What do you want today? What about the cake order the kid had last time? ”

Zhou Yi had been a quiet listener for the "cheerful" conversation between his father and Aunt Yan but was suddenly beckoned without warning. He did not know how to respond immediately, so he simply looked at Yan Shuyu with a cute and confused look.

Auntie Yan, "......"

The adult and the little boy looked at each other for a few seconds and it was Zhou Qinhe who broke the silence. He still had the same warm and vibrant look but it was clear that he was in a good mood now, "Of course, we'll take one of them."

"Alright," Yan Shuyu quickly wrote it down. He had already given up on making her order the food table this time. He just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible, "What do you want to order, Boss Zhou?"

"Oh, same as last time."

Upon hearing that, Yan Shuyu's immediate thought was: Who will remember what you ordered last time?

But when he thought about it, he actually remembered that he had ordered the drink last time, the most popular coffee in their store. It wasn't cheap either, but most importantly, the boss didn't touch it at all. How useless is that?!

Grumbling to himself, he nodded professionally and said, "OK, a cup of Irish coffee, is there again?"

The boss seemed to be very impressed with his memory. His smile deepened as he shook his head gently.

Yan Shuyu paused for a while after she said that. Gosh, this man's boss is so petty, he thought to himself.

But, since he had already called out to her, he couldn't possibly slack off anymore. He could only nod and smile. "Of course."

Afterwards, Yan Shuyu busied herself getting water and tea for the male lead and her father, until everything they ordered was presented. He felt he had accomplished a lot. When the burden had been lowered, he relaxed and said, "Enjoy."

After he said that, he would sneak away, but even before he could take his first step, he heard the attentive voice of the boss asking, “Oh, I forgot to ask. How are you feeling now?"

Yan Shuyu remembered her previous lie and suddenly had a bad premonition. Losing her courage, she replied, “Maybe…. I have recovered.”

"Maybe?"

“...” Yan Shuyu had no choice but to give a definite answer, “I feel much better recently.”

Then, he heard the boss politely ask him to appear as the little male lead.

Oh, so you are so interested in “The Little Leaping Frog” huh? He was eager to ask. But, he had always been mysteriously bullied and his knees weakened in front of the boss, including today. So he finally chose to remain silent.

More importantly, he was worried that his boss was so fixated on listening to him do "The Little Leaping Frog" again. He couldn't listen to his performance last time and said he would be back, and he was, indeed, back a week later. If he were to look for another reason today, would that big boss, once again, clearly state that he would come back again?

Well, it might go on indefinitely. The boss had time and money, he could actually afford this kind of entertainment during his spare time, but he could not. He must pretend to be innocent, unpretentious women who have no interest in the boss. He needed to maintain his stance and not continue to blend in with them. His best move was to give the boss whatever he asked for, so he would lose interest and not come back.

After he found out, he gave them a very enthusiastic smile and said, “Oke, you want me to perform 'Little Leaping Frog' right? Let me go get ready. ”

When he spoke to the boss, Yan Shuyu's enthusiasm was mostly fake, but once he sat down in front of the piano, it turned into a genuine enthusiasm. It was because he realized that the only way to send this VIP away was to give him what he wanted. And he can earn extra income at the same time. That's what's called killing two birds with one stone. He's a genius!

Since he was very happy with himself, his cheerfulness could be felt instantly in every tone he played.

He only performed "Little Leaping Frog" for the first time at this refreshing and romantic coffee shop to annoy the boss enough that he left. It never crossed his mind whether this type of music would fit into the atmosphere of the store, but sometimes unexpected events happen in life. What he did had suddenly turned into a new trend for the store.

Sunshine House is a small cafe popularized by the internet. Although it is only famous in certain circles, as a cafe that is widely talked about on the internet, this cafe always attracts trendy young people to go there and check in. When Yan Shuyu performed “Little Leaping Frog” on that Saturday.afternoon, there happened to be some trendy youngsters there. They then shared a "shocking performance" on the internet. In the following week, Yan Shuyu had received two separate requests for her to perform the "Little Leaping Frog".

Yan Shuyu was quite proud because her appearance was much sought after. More importantly, it means more money. She is happy, and her love for this song continues to grow. As she happily performed, she even started singing alone. Before he even realized it, a little boy curled up right in front of him.

Zhou Yi might only be 4 years old, but as a child born in wealth, he did not have much childhood to talk about. Other children may listen to children's songs, but someone with status only listens to classical music.

He had just started piano lessons, and his instructor was a young pianist, the kind that would most likely become a professional pianist at some point. Perhaps influenced by his instructors, the little young master had always regarded the piano as something noble and refined. To the extent that when he watched Yan Shuyu perform a cheerful children's song on an elegant piano, the little young master was stunned, and his worldview nearly collapsed.

Quickly, his surprise turned into something new. The cheerful songs from the children's songs made her originally assertive look relaxed. When he saw Yan Shuyu start singing along, he could not help but get off the sofa and looked at his father with those big round eyes.

Personally, Zhou Qinhe treats her son in the same way as she treats others – she looks friendly all the time.

Seeing the longing expression on his son, Zhou Qinhe nodded and said, "Go."

Zhou Yi then staggered towards Aunt Yan with his fat feet.

She was still a bit quiet at first, but when she was about a meter away from him and probably realized that she had not noticed him at all, he became bolder and bolder and slowly nudged closer and closer. Finally, he leaned against his thigh and closely observed his ten fingers happily bouncing up and down the key.

Yan Shuyu had finished engrossed in her appearance, but she was not too nervous when she came to her senses. Instead, he looked at her in the same way as he saw his instant son and expressed his welcome, “Show with me – a happy pool is built, a dream becomes an ocean, round eyes and a big mouth, Sing with me, singing out loud..”.

Normally, Zhou Yi would ignore that. After all, he was the male lead, no matter how young he was, he still had his own personality. But, she was too curious today, and Aunt Yan's appearance was too infectious. The little young master started singing with him without even realizing it.

Anyway, he reacted quickly. Realizing that he was fooling himself before he finished the first row, he quickly shut his mouth tightly. Aunt Yan, on the other hand, was still singing and playing the piano and showed no signs of stopping. He had already agreed to sing with her, so the polite young master was too embarrassed to back down from his own words. After looking at his face and struggling for a few seconds, he finally hummed along with her.

This time he learned his lesson. He just hummed with his mouth closed, and only symbolically opened his mouth during the "la la lah" part, and even so, his voice was so low that only he heard it.

Yan Shuyu did not care about that little detail. He can sing by himself. The little boy who joined him would only make him more excited. After she finished her song, Yan Shuyu felt that her appearance was perfect and did a high five with her "little couple".

After a "perfect" partnership between an adult and a child, the father of "little couples" chimed in, "Xiao Yi enjoyed it a lot. He had just started taking piano lessons. Maybe Aunt Yan can teach you a little now?”

Zhou Qinhe's chair was right next to the piano. Now that the music had stopped, Yan Shuyu could hear it clearly even though she was not standing up. He looked at Zhou Yi curiously and asked, "You want to learn this song?"

Zhou Yi did not acknowledge, but his white ears turned pink. Now that she had experience in raising children, she could tell from the looks of her that the child was more than willing, just too embarrassed to say it out loud. Every boy is more shy than the previous one, what will girls do after they grow up?

Yan Shuyu, who was thoroughly enjoying herself, took the little master directly and dropped him onto her lap. With uplifted spirit, he said, “OK, let's start. Follow my irony!”

Ever since she started this job, Yan Shuyu had occasionally taught her son while holding his hand while not being busy in the shop.

She may not be a good mother in many ways, but her desire for her son to succeed in life is stronger than anyone else's. Most parents may have expectations for their children to support them as they grow up. However, Yan Shuyu took it a step further. He wants his son to become an instant millionaire, reach the top of the pyramid, and soon improve his life. He wants her to be perfect in everything – piano, chess, poetry, painting – so he has no choice but to hold her hand and give her piano lessons.

As someone who had practiced piano since childhood, giving piano lessons to a child came easily to Yan Shuyu. His instant son seemed to have inherited his astonishing talent. Even with no background at all, he only needed a little guidance. The male lead was even better, having learned from a famous instructor. He took it faster than his insta. Yan Shuyu had only shown it a few times before she could do it herself, although not very smoothly. Filled with a sense of accomplishment, Yan Shuyu gave a round of applause, "That's so incredible."

How terrible it is for all students that he is not an instructor!

Zhou Yi did not know that Yan Shuyu's applause was really aimed at himself. Neither he nor his instructor had very high standards. She was already embarrassed by her own appearance even after her teaching style held hands; Yan Shuyu's applause made her feel even more embarrassed. Lowering his head, he was just about to try it out a few more times to improve himself, when Zhou Qinhe, who had paid the tab, stood up and said, “Xiao Zi, that's enough for one day. Come out.”

This time, the little young master did not just leave without hesitation like he did last week; instead, he did not leave without hesitation, he stared at the piano longingly before he descended from Yan Shuyu's lap and ran towards his father. Having the shame of being like any other child, she grabbed the corner of her father's clothes before she turned around and bid Yan Shuyu farewell, "See you, Aunt Yan."
