The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother - Chapter 123

Chapter 123 – So It Was Her Who Overthought All Of It (1)

Even though Yan Shuyu’s oddball hosting method had Zhou Qinhe dumbfounded, he was, after all, the Boss Zhou who’d never fret no matter what happened in front of him. So, Yan Shuyu’s actions only made him stunned for a second before he returned to normal and even thanked her politely. Yan Shuyu, with her unsupported self-confidence that came from nowhere, immediately felt that she was the best and most thoughtful host in the whole world.

Not only did she not reflect on what she may have done wrong, she walked over to the bathroom with a look that couldn’t be more prideful.

Zhang Yuanbao wasn’t done yet, but he also didn’t goof around like any other child would. He was a very detail-oriented boy, much more so than his own mother. The little kiddo was sitting inside his little bathtub and scrubbing himself down carefully.

Normally, Yan Shuyu would also stay in the bathroom and remove her makeup and apply her skin care products when the little kiddo bathed himself. That way she could watch her son while she took care of herself, killing two birds with one stone. But this time, she still has a “date” with the boss, so there was no need to remove her makeup.

Yan Shuyu didn’t know what to do to kill time, so she squatted down in front of the little kiddo and said, “Darling, let mommy help you bathe~”

The little kiddo, who had already been used to bathing himself, quickly turned around. With his back to his mother, he said, “I can do it myself.”

He was so nervous that he was slurring in his speech.

Naturally, Yan Shuyu did not give up just because she was turned down. She took a few pumps of shower gel and said, “Don’t be shy. Mom will help you with your back.”

The little kiddo, who failed to turn her down, looked down and focused on scrubbing his pee pee, at a speed that was much faster than normal.

Yan Shuyu might be goofy when it came to many things, but she didn’t fool around when it came to bathing her son. The weather has been getting colder. She didn’t want to mess around too much and get the little kiddo sick. If that happened, she’d have to take time off, take him to the doctor’s, slave after him to take care of him. It’d be both a drain on money and her energy. So not worth it.

Yan Shuyu quickly finished scrubbing down his back and his little butt and had him stand up in his bathtub. She turned on the shower head and quickly rinsed him off. He had then immediately turned into a white, tender, and good-smelling little bun.

Wrapping the little white and tender body in a bath towel, Yan Shuyu picked him up and placed him on a clean bath rug and quickly dried him off. She helped him put his pajamas on and was all done. Yan Shuyu didn’t let the little kiddo walk on the floor again, but just carried him directly into the bedroom.

Zhou Qinhe had been ignored by her for a few minutes now but that didn’t bother him. He continued to sit there and flip through the book leisurely. Seeing the two finally got out, he even looked up and asked them gently, “Yuanbao is done bathing?”

Zhang Yuanjia, his arms wrapped around his mother’s neck, nodded politely at Uncle Zhou. That’s when Yan Shuyu realized that she had been ignoring her guest. “Yes, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No problem,” said Zhou Qinhe as he closed the book and turned and looked at Yan Shuyu quite attentively.

As he had occupied one side of the bed, Yan Shuyu gave up on that side and carried her son over to the other side, far away from the boss, before she put the little kiddo down. Zhang Yuanjia knew to pull the blanket over himself except that his little arms were not quite strong enough and the blanket was crooked over him. Yan Shuyu got up and straightened it out for him.

With the mother and son duo working together on it, Zhang Yuanjia was quickly tucked in. Lying in bed, he looked at his mommy with his big, round eyes. Yan Shuyu sat on the bed and said, “Alright, close your eyes and get ready to go to bed. Which story are we reading today?”

Having said that, Yan Shuyu reached her hand toward the boss reflexively.

Reacting quickly, Zhou Qinhe waved the book in his hand and asked, “You’re looking for this?”
