as one of the Sunshine House's major shareholders, Yan Shuyu was not just the mascot of the place. Occasionally, he would be dragged to see the renovation of a new location or, when he had time to spare, to go and perform at the Sunshine House. After all, this was no longer a part-time show, but its official side business. He was not as actively involved as Manager Yang, but he was still more involved than ever.
Time passes when someone is busy. Summer comes before anyone knows it. Yan Shuyu was much richer this year than he was before. After all, he was a high-income individual who made over 10,000 yuan a month. Therefore, he very generously stated that he would take the children traveling abroad for a few days to celebrate the start of their holiday.
This time, Yan Shuyu got her wish to bring her two children alone, unaccompanied by her boss. Boss Zhou was a very busy person and had very limited free time. He had to painstakingly choose to accompany them abroad for competitions rather than traveling with them.
Thas right. In addition to traveling during the summer, another big event during the summer is the little boy Zhang Yuanbao getting ready to participate in an overseas piano competition. He has been playing the piano for almost a year. Maybe he's a little talented. That on top of hard work and being surrounded by so many qualified instructors, he had experienced a significant improvement over the past year. Liu Cui has taken him to several domestic competitions during the first half of the year. Winning is not the main point here. Especially for him to gain some experience. Therefore, Liu Cui did not hesitate to register him to this competition this time when he could give him a slot through some connections.
This was the first time Zhang Yuanjia would participate in a major competition. It was very different from the little ones he had followed before. Even the bosses appreciated him greatly and purposely emptied his schedule to accompany them abroad.
The little boy also held his own. He was able to get through the preliminary round, the semi-finals, all the way to the final round and finally took third place and returned home with a glittering gold trophy.
Zhang Yuanjia was one of the young competitors in his group. During the final, a petite and cute Asian doll mixed in with all the blond-haired blue-eyed competitors made her appear softer and cute than before and also made her look younger. Many noticed her during the competition and many media covered her after the results came out and she gained fame quickly.
All things considered, this is a competition that gets attention. News about it can be seen on social media from time to time. Yan Shuyu, however, was surprised that she saw a photo of herself when she looked through Twitter, a social media site outside China.
He is not a famous person so it may just be a coincidence that some netizens posted his photos on Twitter. Or, specifically, it has a lot to do with their geographical location.
The competition is held in London, England. Yan Shuyu, as a member of the family, would arrange a seat from the organizer. However, it will not be a very good chair. With the boss also coming along, they do not need the seats provided by the organizers. A word from the boss and they received the best place in the place. Surrounding them on all sides is bule. Makes them more prominent. Be it the media or the individual, every time they take a photo, they will include them for the sake of it.
Yan Shuyu's picture on Twitter, according to the poster, was also copied from some media outlets. He wasn't in the middle but still attracted enough attention. In particular, he had Zhou Yi on his lap at that moment, who was completely engrossed in watching the match. Two not-so-similar Asian faces next to each other made all the strangers scream "very cute!" Like a poster on Twitter. They posted it on the internet and asked if they were celebrities in Asia and if anyone had any information about them.
Unfortunately, the post did not get much attention and Yan Shuyu just happened to see it.
One way or another, Yan Shuyu was quite happy because her beauty was recognized by friends overseas. It did not bother him at all that the poster assumed that the little male lead was his son – especially since it had happened so often that he was used to it.
Praised by others, his son performed better than they expected in the competition, and the event ended smoothly, and the show was not, Yan Shuyu happily returned to China with the boss and children behind her. Little did he expect that Twitter images ended up causing a bit of commotion.
Time always passes during the holidays and school starts again shortly after the competition. Zhang Yuanbao's young son finally graduated kindergarten and entered first grade. In fact, she won't be seven until winter and, supposedly, she can't attend elementary school until next year. Of course, all the boss needs to do is talk to someone and that criterion is eliminated and the little boy can apply to elementary school. It was an international class school. He was no longer in the same school as Zhou Yi but the kindergarten and primary school were in the same school district.
The rich noble school was almost the same size as one of the prestigious universities. The campus includes Kindergarten, SD, SMP, and SMA. Therefore, Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi went to school hand in hand every day.
Just like before, the boss was responsible for dropping them off in the morning and Yan Shuyu to pick them up in the afternoon.
The elementary school and kindergarten did not come out at the same time but Zhang Yuanjia had piano practice and had informed his teacher and was released from attending the last class.
After this, as usual, Yan Shuyu walked out with one small carrot in each hand and saw an extremely beautiful woman with long black hair staring at them. In particular, look at the little boy he was holding with his right hand.
The weather was not too cold and not too hot. The beauty was wearing a perfectly fitting white dress and only looked too delicate for a gentle breeze. As a loyal dog for appearance, Yan Shuyu naturally gave him some extra looks. Suddenly, he noticed that the beauty and the little male lead were looking at each other as if they had deep emotions between them.
Indeed, the beauty looked extremely emotional even from a distance whereas the little male lead was expressionless. Yan Shuyu still couldn't help but ask the little man's lead, "Do you know that big sister?"
The beauty looked a few years older than him but her aura was so delicate that she could not even call it a "aunt" in front of the little ones.
The little boy shook his head without hesitation. “No, I don't know him.”
Yan Shuyu nodded. After spending so much time together, she can confidently say that she knows the little guy just like her father.
Although the little man's main lead had one expression on him the entire time but Yan Shuyu could still tell his mood from just one look. For example, she might exchange serious gazes with beauty, but instead she looked at loss. He might really not recognize her and just stare at her as she looks at him.
No matter how curious, Yan Shuyu did not ask the little male leader any more questions. Moreover, the beauty standing there only looked at them from afar and did not look like she intended to approach them. Yan Shuyu, as confused as he was, simply stuffed the children into the car and left. He planned to ask the boss if he knew this person at a later time. Therefore, when the boss came home that night and mentioned the wedding of some uncles next Sunday and they were going to bring the children, he was really distracted.
Ever since his company's annual party, Yan Shuyu has walked the path of being a vase and the boss has taken him with her to any event that requires a date. Maybe because he's comfortable and makes it look good.
So much so that he never thought of rebelling, but he, however, stayed under his roof and there were times when he could not resist. Therefore, there would always be several events every month and he was already used to it. However, this was the first time they would bring both children. Yan Shuyu felt awkward about that. “Bring Xiao Yi with you. Yuanbao still has class.”
Class is just an excuse. Especially feeling awkward attending a wedding on the boss' side with her son. Anyway, they're not related.
She also doesn't want to go alone if she doesn't understand that the boss needs a date for the event.

Zhou Qinhe glanced at him when he heard that. "Don't you think she'd feel bad being left home alone when we're all gone?"
Boss Zhou, "......"
Boss Zhou continued by explaining helplessly, "Uncle has said it himself that we will make Xiao Yi a flower boy and Yuanbao can perform."
The small male lead was too pretty not to be a flower boy. As for his instant son, after he won the award, he was quite famous in their area. Not infrequently friends and relatives invite him to perform on stage. That Yan Shuyu was already used to it. He was more curious how the boss' close family friends knew about it? His son is not the boss's son.
When Yan Shuyu asked her question, the boss smiled gently at her and said, “When Yuanbao won the award, I have posted it to my circle of friends as well. Is it weird that they know? ”
For some inexplicable reason, the gentler his boss' smile became, the more fearful Yan Shuyu became. He could only nod obediently. "No, it's not weird at all."
"Then do you have any more questions?"
Yan Shuyu replied weakly, "No, no more questions."
The boss' smile was terrifying even if he did, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud again.
Boss Zhou was very pleased with his response. Curving her lips slightly, she said, “Her words will be held in a few more days. We have to prepare clothes for the boys. After all, it would be a formal arrangement. ”
Yan Shuyu did not dare to rebel against the boss' decision. He obediently prepared the clothes of the little children in the next few days. Their cabinets were no less impressive than his and had more clothes than they could wear at their young age. Yan Shuyu suddenly had evil thoughts and chose black and white formal attire for the two of them, making it a combination of black and white. Then he asked auntie to help iron them.
Compared to her trained aunt, Yan Shuyu looked even more awkward than before. Best is he let others take care of the rest ~
Young children are very excited when they find out that they are going to attend the wedding. Zhang Yuanbao was looking forward to it since this was the first wedding he would attend. He had endless questions for Yan Shuyu day after day. “What does a bribe look like? Is she as pretty as Mom?”
Yan Shuyu strongly believed in the choices of the rich. That bribe would be interesting. Given the groom's age, however, he didn't have too much anticipation. How handsome is he at his advanced age?
And the truth is not too far from the picture. The groom is a man of grandfather's age. Although it was difficult to know his true age with his black hair, but, standing next to a very interesting early 20s bribe, Yan Shuyu still considered it a little sight-destroying. Therefore, he did not pay much attention during the ceremony. He looked around the place and, suddenly, he seemed to have seen the beauty he had met a few days ago!
After all, a wedding is not a western-style lavish banquet where guests can be as grand as they want while holding a wine glass in hand.
This marriage was very High, Large, and Classy by itself and had a vast green field and a castle. Nevertheless, it also had many guests and was a bit chaotic. There were children running around shouting everywhere and, in such a situation, Yan Shuyu could not directly be next to the boss the entire time like he did at the banquet in the past. At the very least, there was not much he could do other than see the boss taking the boys to the bathroom when a need arose.
Of course, Yan Shuyu was not the type of person who would be at a loss if there were no boys around. He had a lot of confidence putting the boys in the boss' hands before he turned around and looked for food himself.
With an official wedding banquet like this, the dishes might not be too soft but the wine and drinks to the fullest, cupcakes, and fruits all seemed very tempting. Yan Shuyu had noticed them a while ago and could not wait to start as soon as his burden was gone.
After all, Yan Shuyu had attended many banquets with her boss. He wouldn't say that he meant many suitable friends but there were some in places he was familiar with. He might not know them well, but he could definitely chat with them. Eating and chatting, it was bustling around Yan Shuyu and she accidentally forgot all about the boss and the little children.
By the time he realized that they had been gone for a long time, the little black and white children had already come looking for him. Yan Shuyu turned around but did not see the boss near them. He's even more confused. "Xiao Yi, where is your father?"
For the first time, Zhou Yi did not respond. He gave Zhang Yuanjia a glance and Zhang Yuanjia had a more bizarre look at him. He walked over and pulled his sleeve. And, just like that, the flustered Yan Shuyu was dragged by the little children towards the area with very few people. He thought they had something they wanted to tell him personally but, as soon as they were about to walk through the arched door, he heard a light sobbing sound. Yan Shuyu stopped in her tracks and suddenly felt excited. Oooh, he could feel the melon coming towards him!
The little ones, as if beckoned, also stopped at the same time as him. They were all standing there except for Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi staring at him and their appearances were attentive.
Seeing the two of them, Yan Shuyu suddenly had a bad premonition. He wanted to eat melons, but not his own melons. That's not a good thing at all ……
Yan Shuyu started to worry about whether her boss was friendly with others behind her. Therefore, he was not the one who stayed silent. He had to figure it out for himself once the suspicion started. Therefore, he waved for the little boy to retreat as he hid behind the wall, preparing to peek.
Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were not very obedient this time around. They are both adults beyond their age. The fact that they brought him here without saying a word meant they had an idea of what was going on. The boys refused to leave and, furthermore, mimicked how he hid behind a wall and also started peering.
Yan Shuyu did not feel that it was a good thing for boys to do, but now was not the time. The focus now is not on the boy learning something bad from him. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he remained there to peek.
The situation was strange on the other side of the wall. It was a man and a woman standing there facing each other. The man turned his back on them and all they could see was his graceful and handsome back. They could not see the woman's face either. All they could see was her long and beautiful hair and her extremely delicate shoulders. If one looked closely enough, one could even see that his shoulders were trembling slightly. Any other man would have felt sorry for him already.
Overall, the two just stood there facing each other calmly. Just from the silhouette alone, they give the feel of match made in heaven.
Yan Shuyu was not blind. He could immediately tell that the man was his boss. He was the one who took his clothes today. Of course he'll recognize it. She did not immediately run there to face him because from what she saw from the woman's dress, Yan Shuyu already knew that she was the beauty she saw in front of the school the other day.
Looking at the little man led by his legs who was still very delicate even with a long face and, combining it with the way the woman looked at him the other day, Yan Shuyu suddenly had a very bold speculation. Could it be that the beautiful woman was the biological mother of the legendary little man leader aka the former wife of the boss?.
