Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 53

“Robin, assistant. Do you still remember it?”

"certain." Yan Shuyu nodded happily. The two assistant bosses were very impressive, more than Secretary Lu whom he had met several times. The reason for that was because the two elites of the man were extremely handsome. Louis, in particular, with his glasses and gold-framed suit, was incredible.

Despite being in a committed relationship, he still appreciates the handsome man who is glimpsed. He still asked happily, “So Robin saw me? Why doesn't he say hello?”

As merciful as Boss Zhou, he would not miss the happiness in his voice. He immediately pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Yan Shuyu paid no attention to anything at first. A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of his house. The boss, whose left hand was still resting on the steering wheel, lifted his chin towards him casually and said, "Now go home."

Yan Shuyu, who was extremely slow, finally realized something was amiss. He pulled his hand back from the door handle and asked her, "Aren't you going to go upstairs with me?"

Zhou Qinhe did not say anything. Although she could not really know her emotions from her appearance, she could feel that she was upset.

But he's not worried. If the boss is jealous, he will light fireworks to celebrate. What's there to worry about? The fearless Yan Shuyu took the boss's right hand and hooked his fingers with his. The two hands joined tightly together, and he slightly shook his hand and said, "Wake me up, please?"

Boss Zhou pursed his lips and finally showed a smile, an indication that he was softening.

But this time, he did not immediately grant her wish. She looked at him and asked suddenly, "You shopped at the men's store?"

Robin really has good eyes. He wondered how long he had been watching her. He looked at his boss, and his smile was even sweeter than before. "Yes. I bought you a Christmas present.”

Zhou Qinhe's eyes flickered, and his gaze softened completely. "What do you get?"

"I can't tell you right now," Yan Shuyu said shamelessly. “It's a surprise.”

"That secret?" Zhou Qinhe chuckled, then he rained down on his parade. “What if I don't like it?”

Yan Shuyu was slightly surprised. “Then... I still won't take it back.”.

Then, there was a kiss on his lips. Zhou Qinhe, looking at him gently, said, "I mean, you are not allowed to prepare such a surprise in the future. We'll go pick them up together.”

Yan Shuyu replied, "But you also prepared a surprise."

"That's because I'm on a business trip and you're not around." Zhou Qinhe stopped and smiled. “So we are even now. Why don't we go shopping on Christmas Day so you can choose your own gifts? What are you saying?"

Yan Shuyu really wanted to nod, but she was a little embarrassed. "But you just bought me a gift ..."

Boss Zhou had already made his own arrangements, "We will spend Christmas Eve with the children and take them to the musical institution on Christmas Day."

Yan Shuyu nodded reflexively. "okay."

The next day, his instant son also happily brought Christmas to Yan Shuyu. She said that their class had already started preparing Christmas trees etc and many of her classmates were also decorating at home.

The boy looked at his mother and asked naturally, "Mom, are we going to celebrate Christmas?"

Yan Shuyu did not realize that the question was loaded and nodded casually. “Sure, if that's what you want to do.”

The little boy immediately smiled and asked with anticipation, "Then, can I invite Xiao Yi for Christmas?"

Yan Shuyu gave him a surprised look. “Since when have you two been that close? It's only been a few days and you've missed it?”

Zhang Yuanbao smiled so widely that everyone could only see his teeth but not his eyes, as if he was secretly acknowledging the fact that he missed his little friend so much. Yan Shuyu thought inwardly that if the two of them could always be so close to each other, he would not have to worry for the rest of his life.

He told the truth, “I've made plans with Uncle Zhou. We'll spend Christmas Eve together.”

“Yes! Mom is the best!” Zhang Yuanjia exclaimed happily and hugged his mother's thigh. Then, he asked with all his cuteness, "So, is Xiao Yi going to stay at our place as well?"

Yan Shuyu would say no, but looked at the hopeful face on the little boy and he could only nod. “Em... alright.”

Zhang Yuanjia had already jumped up and down three times in front of him to express his excitement. His instant son tilted his little head and thought hard, "How are we going to decorate our house?"

Yan Shuyu finally looked at him. “You want to decorate our house too?”

This little boy was not at all deterred by the hassle.

Zhang Yuanjia said to him without further ado, “Of course we need to decorate for the holidays. Many of our classmates have already started doing that.”

After Yan Shuyu heard that, she regretted how lucky the children were right now. Back when he went to school, his parents didn't even know what Christmas was. But since her son had told her that other children were decorating for Christmas at home, then they might have to do the same as well.

Yan Shuyu finally agreed to it. "OK, you can decorate as you please."

Yan Shuyu had given her blessing generously, but little boy Zhang Yuanbao looked at her blankly. “Yuanbao also don't know. This is also the first time Yuanbao has celebrated Christmas.”

Zhang Yuanbao will not celebrate Christmas until this year, at the age of 6. It was rather pitiful compared to other children his age. Yan Shuyu could understand the reason behind it.

His instant son had lost his father when he was only 3 or 4 years old, and his biological mother was not someone who had much sense. With the exception of a few difficult days when she first eloped, she was kept at home by her little husband afterward. Her life wasn't very luxurious, but at the very least, she didn't have to worry about food or clothes. Therefore, when he lost the family backbone, the two of them quickly became unlucky and fell into poverty. The original owner, without the skills to speak but having to support the family, eventually decides to do something with his appearance.

Even though the original owner made a pretty good income during the two years he worked in the night world, it must have been difficult. He wanted to wait for the right person to show up, but he looked down on the disrespectful boss who usually visits his workplace. Yan Shuyu could only imagine how exhausting it was to deal with those bosses without letting them take advantage of them. Naturally, he would not have time to take care of any other unnecessary details in life.

When the original owner decides to quit her job as a "night view model" and get a higher, Big, and Classy job at an upscale hotel, the mother and son were finally able to enjoy a more peaceful life. But, it didn't last long before he moved.

Overall, it's not easy being an adult and being a kid is no better. As he thought about all the difficulties his instant son had with his mother, Yan Shuyu's compassion overflowed. In the heat of the moment, he volunteered. "Okay, I'll decorate for you."

***

The mother and son busied themselves until after 10am before they finished wrapping the ribbons and balloons. They had not even turned on the lights when they heard a knock on the door. Yan Shuyu opened the door and looked at the father and son in surprise. "Why are you two here?"

The boss had not contacted him today, so he just assumed that he would work overtime as usual and only came to join them at night.

Zhou Qinhe smiled. Before she could say anything, her son squeezed in very familiarly and greeted Yan Shuyu sweetly, "Good morning, Aunt Yan."

Hearing a familiar voice, Zhang Yuanjia, who had been running around the house like a chicken with his head severed to decorate the house, came running. "Xiao Yi, Uncle Zhou."

As he walked to the front door, he saw a mini Christmas tree sitting next to Uncle Zhou. She's surprised. “This Christmas tree is so beautiful!! Did you bring it, Uncle Zhou?

Uncle Zhou smiled and nodded. "Your mother told me that you two were decorating the apartment, so I thought this might be useful."

Boss Zhou is a very wise person. Knowing that their house is not so big, he prepares a mini Christmas tree, not a full-size one. Yan Shuyu knew that it might be a custom-made size.

The more he looked at it, the more Zhang Yuanjia liked it. The Christmas tree prepared by Uncle Zhou looks cute and fun! Then, hand in hand, they walked to find out if they were taller than the tree.

Thinking that the boss had remembered him after he had only mentioned decorating their house in passing and even brought a gift that suited him, Yan Shuyu also felt very happy. He smiled and greeted them both. "Let's go in. Comein. It's cold outside."

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were very obedient. The two worked together to bring the same tall tree as them inside the house. Zhou Qinhe even gave way to them on purpose and saw his son turn into a furry cartoon sandal without hesitation and walk into the apartment with his little friend.

The boys happily discussed where to put the Christmas tree as Zhou Qinhe slowly walked inside the apartment and replaced her shoes with the men's sandals that Yan Shuyu had bought for her from a nearby supermarket.

As soon as he was inside and closed the door behind him, he felt a warm air coming at him. The heater inside the apartment lit up and Zhang Yuanjia and Yan Shuyu were only wearing thin clothes. Boss Zhou also casually took off his suit.

The boss came and took over Yan Shuyu's job. He let the two boys set it up on how to install the lights on the tree. The two boys were not at all embarrassed when they both gave random instructions on what they wanted to do. The boss just smiled patiently the whole time.

Yan Shuyu stood around and watched them for a while. Once she realized she was no longer needed, she quickly finished putting on her makeup. At that time, the boss had also more or less finished decorating under the orders of the little boy. After the decoration is finished, the slightly crowded apartment looks not too cluttered and has an additional feel of hospitality and delicacy.

Zhang Yuanbao even closed the curtains so that they could feel it better. Under the colorful ribbons and flashing lights, this apartment has a very festive atmosphere. Zhang Yuanjia and his little friend clapped as they exclaimed, "This is too pretty!"

Since they were the ones decorating the place, they felt a stronger sense of accomplishment.

Compared to ribbons and balloons, children prefer Christmas trees with flickering lights. Especially when Zhou Qinhe grinned and told them that, "Sinterklas will visit the good little children's house on Christmas Eve and put gifts under the tree."

The story was so childish that even Zhang Yuanjia did not believe it. Even so, the two boys were still staring at Zhou Qinhe with anticipation. "Will there really be a Christmas present?"

"Of course," Zhou Qinhe said to them casually. "As long as you're a good boy, you'll find your present tomorrow morning when you wake up."

Although Santa Claus is just a myth, children are still happy to know that the Christmas tree has “kability” to help them get gifts. They now enjoy the trees they have decorated.

Yan Shuyu, noticing that his son already knew how to deceive himself more gifts at this age, praised him in his head. He thought that he had bought the little male leader a lavish gift so his boss had to pay him back as well.

On Christmas Day, Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi went to "choose" their Christmas gifts from the tree happily.

Yan Shuyu gave them toys just like her boss did. Although both of them were getting toys, the boss reward was much cheaper than Yan Shuyu's gift. Not only were the two children excited by the two LEGO sets, even Yan Shuyu was a little envious. He's still a baby and he wants LEGO too!

Therefore, when she was dating the boss later on, she couldn't help but linger in front of LEGO. He finally gave up as he recalled his previous bold determination to get a good reward from the boss.

Yan Shuyu, who had always been loyal to his words, dragged the boss with him to the wallet counter. He ended up carefully choosing a Fendi bag that cost just a little over 10,000 yuan after the discount.

Boss Zhou even asked attentively, "Is this all you want?"

Yan Shuyu held onto the wallet and nodded with a very satisfied expression at her. He knew that the wallet he took would not even make his boss blink, let alone make him hurt. But it'll be fine, he likes it a lot. He never had a wallet that cost him more than 4 digits in his lifetime. Now that he could have a wallet that cost more than 5 digits, it was definitely a huge increase.

Zhou Qinhe smiled as he paid and asked gently, "You want to take another look?"

Yan Shuyu was already very happy with her new wallet. With his arm in the boss's hand, he said, "No, let's watch our movie."

***

After Christmas came the appearance of his son. Since Instructor Lin had made a point of telling him that he could invite friends and relatives so that it would be more lively in the attitude of the audience, Yan Shuyu casually asked the boss after thinking about it.

Just like Yan Shuyu, Zhang Yuanjia had also relayed his invitation to his little friend Zhou Yi. The four of them were together again that day.

Bosses are becoming more grounded these days. Not only did he find time to attend these events with them, he also brought his camera and said that he would take many photos of Yuanbao when he was on stage.

Yan Shuyu was surprised at how caring the boss was. “You are very attentive. You even brought a.” camera

Boss Zhou smiled humbly. “A coworker reminds me.”

Now Yan Shuyu was curious. "You're talking about this with your coworkers?"

“We all have children at home. So, yeah, we talk about it once in a while. ”

Yan Shuyu did not expect that even an elite like the boss would talk about such a thing in person. He suddenly felt that the difference between an elite and an ordinary person might not be as great as he had thought before.

What he didn't know was that the side effect of Boss Zhou's little "chatter" was a rumor circulating at headquarters that the boss' relationship was getting serious. Some of them even contacted Louis, their assistant CEO, for more details.

That, of course, had nothing to do with Yan Shuyu. His main focus lies on his instant son. The camera proved very useful. When Yuanbao performed on stage, they would be filming among the audience – bosses responsible for taking the picture and Yan Shuyu and the little young master to encourage him.

After the show was over, parents and children had free time to walk around and around the school grounds. The four of them took more photos. Some were portraits, some of the two boys held hands. If they print all the pictures, it will fill in more than one album.

And then the show is over. Yan Shuyu had fun taking pictures and having fun.

He also did not expect that there would be more than this. Two weeks later, he receives a boss invitation to the activities of the little male leader at his school. The little young master's kindergarten was much classier and more elegant than Yuanbao's. They even received an actual invitation and a classy one at that.
