The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother - Chapter 116

Chapter 116 – A Family of Three (3)

During the month when the original owner was working at Hotel Dorsett, the boss either worked overtime or was socializing till the wee hours and would go directly back to the hotel when he was done. He never even went home to check; how would he know his son’s schedule?

Gathering all the evidence, the boss was just putting up the front. However, what Yan Shuyu was thinking did not matter. Zhang Yuanbao, worried that the uncle would think that he was any less than Zhou Yi, had already stood up for himself and said, “Uncle Zhou, Yuanbao goes to bed and gets up early too!” As he was saying it, he even spontaneously gave a yawn to show that he was, indeed, sleepy.

This little actor.

Yan Shuyu couldn’t bear looking at it any longer, so she turned away. The excuse that she had came up with had been shattered so she would need to come up with a new one. In the meantime, the adult and child duo Zhou Qinhe and Zhang Yuanbao resumed chatting with each other again. Zhou Qinhe asked Zhang Yuanjia what he normally does after he went home and the little kiddo told him that he’d bathe and his mother would read him stories in bed.

“Does mommy help you bathe?”

Zhang Yuanjia shook his head proudly. “No, Yuanbao knows how to bathe himself.”

“You are so good.” Zhou Qinhe generously doled out praises. “Xiao Yi isn’t as mature as you are.”

Zhang Yuanjia might look mature, but he was actually a very competitive little kid. Zhou Qinhe’s praise was exactly what he liked to hear the most. The little kid couldn’t help but look very prideful. But he still knew to be polite. “Zhou Yi is a very good kid too, and smart. He is more fun to play with than the kids at my school.”

Zhang Yuanjia sounded very sincere when he said that. He might be a very articulate child that other kids would love to be friends with, but for a kid who was matured beyond his age, he’d probably enjoy being around other kids who were also matured beyond their age. That was also the reason why Zhang Yuanjia enjoyed being around Tongtong, who was two years older than him. They shared the same language and even though the little male lead Zhou Yi was half a year younger than him, he too was a matured child. When there were no conflicts between the two, Zhang Yuanjia much preferred to be around those who were like him.

When the subject had turned to the little kid that he had only met once, Zhang Yuanjia asked Uncle Zhou with anticipation, “When can Zhou Yi come out and play?”

“He normally only goes out to play on the weekends.”

“Oh, yeah? Me too!” Zhang Yuanjia offered up the invitation, “You can bring him to Sunshine House, Uncle. That way we can play together.”

Zhou Qinhe’s lips curved upward and he cheerfully agreed, “Okay.”

Yan Shuyu, “……”

She has yet to come up with an excuse for tonight and her FWS son had already made a date with the Zhou father and son. He sure was trying hard to pull her leg. Now, Yan Shuyu was worried about the two of them keeping on chatting with each other. She dragged her son over to her and willed herself to say, “Boss Zhou, it’s getting late now. Let me take Yuanbao upstairs, and I will be back down quickly. Please wait.”

“Oh, is that so,” said Zhou Qinhe as he pursed his lips.

Yan Shuyu dragged her son even closer to her but Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Qinhe were still holding hands. At the last thing that she said, Zhou Qinhe finally slowly let go of Zhang Yuanjia’s hand.
