Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 45

If Manager Yang did nothing to stop the others, there were more and more reasons for Yan Shuyu to do nothing. He didn't even need to do anything but watch his little friends take turns comforting the two children he was initially responsible for and making mistakes until it was time to get home from work.

After work, Yan Shuyu immediately changed her uniform and only went to the office after she had her own wallet and the little man leader's backpack in her hands. He did not want to go immediately and ask, "Why don't you guys talk amongst yourself and find out what you want to eat tonight?"

The little male leader looked at him and never blinked his big eyes but did not say a word.

Yan Shuyu was confused by his appearance. What was in the mind of the little male lead?

Whether Zhang Yuanjia wanted to have it himself or that he could actually decipher the look of his little friend, he said, "Mom, Xiao Yi wants a hot pot."

Zhou Yi still did not say anything, but he did not deny it either.

Yan Shuyu was somewhat hesitant. “We just did it two days ago. It seems unhealthy to have them so often. ”

Although she strongly believed in the abundance of food and clothing without having to lift a single finger, but now that she was raising a child, she needed to pay attention to certain things. At the very least, he could not bring Zhang Yuanjia to the hot pot every few days. It was also because the hot pot was quite expensive, and they could both eat a lot. Each time they will be charged 100 – 200 yuan. Once a week is too much.

Indeed, that was not the reason why he did not want to take the little man to the hot pot today. When the boss brought him to eat, the price was always more than hundreds or even thousands of yuan. He was able to take his son out to the hot pot several times. He was mostly concerned that too much "fast food" such as hot pots could upset the little man's leader's sensitive stomach. After all, he was the little young master of a prestigious family who had been pampered all his life.

Hearing that, the two boys looked slightly disappointed. Back then, Manage Yang, who refused to leave, walked over and offered himself, “Why don't we go to the bone marrow hot pot? It's much more nutritious. My treatment."

Zhang Yuanjia's eyes twinkled. Seeing the hesitant expression on his little friend, he held her hand and said, “Xiao Yi, Big Brother Yang is a good friend of mine and my mother. You needn't be ashamed. We always have dinner together.”

Yang Zifeng did not expect that even little boy Zhang Yuanbao had put him into the category of good friends. That makes him happy. "Exactly. We're all good friends. Don't be ashamed, Xiao Yi. You can call me Brother Yang too. ”

Whether he was being nice to his little friend or that he really wanted to have a hot pot, the little young master actually called him, "Sister Yang."

Manager Yang smiled so happily that his eyes turned into slits. He was finally able to get close to the little young master of a prestigious family, although with his new title he had just become a lower generation of Boss Zhou, making Boss Zhou of the same generation as him into the generation “paman”. . But it's pretty good. With someone like Boss Zhou, let alone referring to him as "uncle", he would be fine with "father".

After happily accepting his new title, Yang Zifeng immediately took his car keys and said, “Alright, little ones. I'll take you to the hot pot now.”

Both Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi looked excited but, they knew better than to say anything other than to stare at Yan Shuyu.

Only a fool would refuse a free dinner. Yan Shuyu smiled and waved her hand. “Come eat hotpot!”

The four of them walked happily.

Zhang Yang was still waiting faithfully under the Sunshine House. When Yan Shuyu saw him, she said to him nicely, “We will go to dinner with Manager Yang. He's got a car too and he'll drive us tonight. Why don't you take the night early? ”

As an outstanding driver, Zhang Yang did not show his happiness when he learned that he could get off earlier today. Naturally, he did not reject it either. He just smiled casually and said, “Sure, Miss Yan. May I ask if that Manager has a car seat in his car? I can remove that from us. ”

With Zhang Yang being extremely careful and meticulous, Yan Shuyu and Yang Zifeng were slightly speechless. Yang Zifeng was single without any children. Although she drove her little niece to her sister from time to time, she never had the need to have a car seat in her car.

Looking at each other for a few seconds, Yang Zifeng said firmly, “No, it's too troublesome. Yanyan, why don't you take Brother Zhang's car. Just follow my car.”

Zhang Yang did not look very disappointed at not being able to get off earlier. He attentively opened the backseat door for the two little young masters.

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi did not care much as the adults discussed whose car to take and only started moving after the adults made their decision. Perhaps somewhat affected by his little friend, the little male lead was more lively than before. He used to wait for someone else to pick him up and put him in the car, now he was trying to get into the car like Zhang Yuanjia.

Both cars are headed to the mall next door. Manager Yang, who was always on top of what was the trendiest, took them to a newly opened hotpot restaurant. The chain has restaurants all over the country. The bone broth, which was cooked in milky white, began to boil in front of them. The server came and sprinkled green onions over the soup. They then carried the straws attentively and showed them how to eat the marrow from the bones.

This hotpot restaurant is a bit more expensive than the others. In his previous life, when Yan Shuyu was not that bad, he had it several times and liked it enough. It was completely new for the two children and both of them were enjoying a bone that was half the size of their faces while holding it with both hands.

While the two of them sipped the bone marrow at a moderate speed, Yan Shuyu and Yang Zifeng started cooking the other ingredients. Yan Shuyu was much more relaxed today with someone helping her today. He even had time to chat with Manager Yang in between.

Yang Zifeng, on the other hand, felt extremely uncomfortable. He asked Yan Shuyu gently, "That brother Zhang ... Shouldn't we invite him to eat with us?"

Yang Zifeng himself was a Rich Second Generation and had a few servants in the house. His parent company had a few drivers as well, but Yang Zifeng never thought it was a big deal. Their waiter always eats with them. He felt bad when he invited Boss Zhou's driver to eat with them and was rejected firmly. He was also surprised by that. Perhaps, the prestigious type of family that Boss Zhou came from had a different set of rules than normal people.

Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, felt quite relaxed. He's been through this a few times now. When they had a video chat with the boss a few days ago, he mentioned that it would be inhumane for Zhang Yang to wait for them, hungry, in the car while they were eating the hotpot inside. The boss smiled and assured him that Zhang Yang would not actually stay in the car the entire time. He will get his own food, pay for it, and will also receive overtime money.

And then Yan Shuyu did not feel sorry for him anymore. In fact, he thought it was sweet that Zhang Yang could look for good food himself, spend the entire amount, and have additional subsidies on the side. What deal!

When he repeated that to Manager Yang, even Manager Yang became envious of him. “He had to make a lot of money to become Boss Zhou's driver. She's wearing an Armani.” suit

Yan Shuyu had not paid much attention to the suit before. He asked curiously. “Is it very expensive?”

“The setup is not too bad. The price is less than 20,000 yuan.”

"Oh, shoot, almost 20,000 yuan and you say it's not bad?" Yan Shuyu looked at her little friend in shock and suspected that she was too poor and everyone around her was very rich. In a combination of both his entire life, he had never worn anything more than 2,000 yuan, despite his winter jacket.

However, at this moment, Yan Shuyu had the exact same thought as Manager Yang. Both wanted to be the boss's driver.

Speaking of demons. The two of them had just finished envying Mr. Driver when a video chat request from the boss came. Yan Shuyu already had one round of food, and the food was on target. He accepted the video chat request without hesitation.

Wearing his headphones on, he smiled at his boss. "Kok still up? Isn't it midnight where you are now?”

He recalled that they had a video chat a few days ago and it was at 4~5am where his boss was. It made sense the other day when he was still jet lag, but it's kind of weird that he called him at this hour today.

"Yanyan," Zhou Qinhe said slowly after raising his eyebrows. "I remember telling you yesterday that I was going to Washington last night after my meeting?"

“Ya, you did it.” Yan Shuyu nodded without understanding why he mentioned that. The boss didn't say anything more. But he seemed to hear the sound of the curtains opening, and then the background brightened in the video chat. "It's 7 in the morning in Washington."

Yan Shuyu, "......"

Oops. That's shameful. He had never been to the US before and had no idea about the different time zones there.

Judging from the boss's tone, he probably wouldn't believe it even if he explained it to her honestly and would still think that he was just looking for an excuse because he didn't care enough about her. To show that he did care for her, Yan Shuyu quickly said, "Oh yeah, didn't you mention that you will go to New York after this?"

"Does that mean you'll be back soon?" yan Shuyu asked with anticipation.

Boss Zhou paused for a moment. He had a good idea that he had been having fun for the past few days and it never occurred to him to ask about her if she had not contacted him. It was impossible for him to miss her so much all of a sudden. He watched her for a few seconds with his sharp gaze.

Yan Shuyu, with her skin so thick, was naturally not bothered by it. He smiled and let out his tone, "So iiiis?"

Seeing the effort he made to pretend, Boss Zhou finally nodded. "More or less."

Three days or more. That's kind of quick.

Yang Zifeng, who had watched the entire process quietly, "......"

He had overestimated Boss Zhou. Boss Zhou's resilience was even worse than him and could not even withstand this level. Manager Yang assessed Boss Zhou calmly. Therefore, he himself knew his own little friend quite well. Yan Shuyu quickly took the opportunity and changed the subject completely. He said excitedly to the boss' son. “Dad will be home soon. Are you looking forward to that, Xiao Yi? Do you want to talk to Dad?"

Zhou Qinhe, "......"

Zhou Yi, who was very focused on chewing bones, heard Yan Shuyu's question. He had no choice but to voluntarily wipe his small mouth and head. Yan Shuyu couldn't possibly push her phone into her hand any faster.

Maybe all kids love action. Zhang Yuanjia, seeing that his little friend was talking to his father, also wiped his mouth and injected himself to greet Uncle Zhou.

Boss Zhou is a very experienced person. As much as he was stunned for a full two seconds, he was able to control his appearance and return to being a calm Boss Zhou before the little ones stuck their faces in front of the camera. He greeted the two of them, “Xiao Yi, Yuanbao. How are you two doing tonight? What are you eating?"

Seeing that they were already engaged in the conversation, Yan Shuyu wiped away the sweat that was not on her forehead and took back her bowl with her half-eaten meal. He was also very satisfied with how easily he could "get rid of" the boss. Even her little friend leaned towards her and gave her thumb. “I'm impressed, Yanyan.”

Manager Yang would never have guessed that his little friend, who looked like Foolish, White, and Sweet, would be able to win when dealing with someone like Boss Zhou. Although it was most likely that Boss Zhou let him have it, it was even more incredible.

That was why Yang Zifeng looked at Yan Shuyu with the respect he would give to the fox demon – being able to let Boss Zhou become so "muck-headed", he was practically the reincarnation of Daji.

Yan Shuyu did not think too much about it. He thought Manager Yang praised him for his ability to change the subject and said to him humbly, "Oh, it's nothing."

Yang Zifeng brandished his thumb firmly. "No, you're strong, okay."

Because he insisted, Yan Shuyu received his praise calmly and immediately became more satisfied.

Yan Shuyu's diversion technique was very successful unless her failure was finally caused by her own satisfaction – she started devouring her food without restraint after she managed to “give” the boss to her two children.

Terasi hotpot place is very tasty and more chewy than other places. It didn't matter that it had opened up a new world for Zhou Yi, even Zhang Yuanjia liked it so much that he couldn't stop eating it. However, when they were in the video chat, Mother/Aunt Yan waved her hand and half of the terasi went into the pot. And, in two minutes or less, they watched more than half of it go into its own bowl.

Actually, from Yan Shuyu's point of view, the terasi portion of this store was very small. The two of them had already eaten almost half of it before, so he had already restrained himself by taking only from her, but the two little children, who liked this dish, did not see it that way. They were shocked by his greed. Anxious, the two boys exchanged glances and Zhang Yuanjia firmly gave in to his beloved Uncle Zhou. Taking his little bowl, he pushed it to his mother and said to her, "Mom, I want shrimp too."

"Yes, you don't want to chat with Uncle Zhou anymore?" Yan Shuyu looked at him. Seeing that he was her son, she painstakingly gave him two of hers and said in the right tone, “You need to cook more for yourself if you want more. Don't take it again from Mother.”

Yang Zifeng, who witnessed this, "......"

Zhang Yuanjia, on the other hand, was not surprised by how stingy his mother was. With a small bowl in her hand, her eyes curved, and she said to him, "Thank you, Mom."

Manager Yang, on the other hand, could not bear watching this anymore. He put the remaining terasi into the pot and smiled. “Yuanbao likes terasi? I'll cook it for you. They'll be done soon.”

Zhang Yuanjia was very pleased with Manager Yang's enthusiasm, but Zhou Yi was astonished. His little friend had left him and sorted out whatever was left was gone. The soft little man's main cast was dumbfounded.

Zhou Qinhe had no way of seeing what was happening on the other side of the phone. He was confused by the sadness that suddenly appeared to his son. She called out to him gently, "Xiao Yi?"

There is no father and son in front of good food. The little man's main cast, after he recalled himself, looked at Aunt Yan and then his own father on the phone and made a split-second decision. He did an excellent job by applying Yan Shuyu's tricks a moment before. "Dad, do you want to talk to Aunt Yan?"

Yan Shuyu, who was placed in place suddenly, suddenly looked up. Before he could say anything, he heard the boss's carefree voice from the phone, "Sure!"

And then, the little male lead couldn't wait to return his phone as quickly as possible. He could barely hold his lips from curling upwards as he did that.

Yan Shuyu, who was stunned when she got her phone back, "Meow meow meow?"

The timing was perfect for Zhou Yi. Manager Yang had just lifted a spoon with a terrace inside. Zhou Yi, who had just gotten rid of the heavy weight, imitated his little friend and stretched out his small bowl while saying shyly, "I want to too."

Yang Zifeng simply split the cooked terrace between the two of them and could not help but laugh. "If you two like, we can order the terasi again."

Although Yang Zifeng was stunned, he saw it clearly. The little young master did that just to eat a terasi. However he looked at it, the style of the little young master sacrificing even his blood relatives for just a few mouthfuls of food seemed like something Yan Shuyu would do. Yang Zifeng believed that the young master of the prestigious family was definitely not like this before.

He was wondering what Boss Zhou thought of this right now. Would he still be fine with letting his son get along with Yanyan?

Boss Zhou was very calm now. Even when the person chatting with him had changed, he still maintained a very comfortable smile. Yan Shuyu quickly recalled herself and chatted happily with her, and the call continued.

Manger Yan took the job of feeding the three of them. Zhang Yuanbao and the little young master were easy to take care of. Surprisingly, they seem to like the exact same thing, or that they are influenced by each other. Yan Shuyu, as an adult, was even easier to take care of. Knowing him for so long, Yang Zifeng had known that he liked his meat very much. All he needed to do was put the meat in his bowl, and he would not look up again.

Now that Yan Shuyu was being taken care of as well and that the video chat with the boss did not interfere with her eating, she thoroughly enjoyed the call and no longer wanted to end it too soon.

The boss also seemed quite relaxed tonight and continued chatting with him as he never suggested hanging up the phone. The two of them chatted until the end of dinner.

After everyone was full, Yang Zifeng went to pay, leaving one adult and two children in a chair.

Now that the hotpot was over, Boss Zhou's charms had also returned. The two boys obediently went to both sides of Yan Shuyu and excitedly started talking to her again. Private chat turns into group chat. Yan Shuyu was no longer just chatting with the boss. He also occasionally chatted with the children next to him. For example, he was currently asking them, "Where do you want to go next?"

The two boys exchanged glances and began to think about it. The boss, from the other end, casually picked her up, "By the way, is there anyone else there besides you?"

"Yes, Manager Yang," Yan Shuyu said with a smile. “It was his treat.”
