The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 179 – Perfect Timing (2)

Before they got onto the call, Zhou Qinhe looked to be in some place that looked like an office. Yan Shuyu could only see a very limited area through the camera, but Yan Shuyu figured that out from the office chair that the boss was sitting on and the bookshelf behind him. The place looked exactly like a boss’s office that one’d see on TV. But, today was the weekend plus Boss Zhou had made plans with them, so naturally, he would not have gone into the office. This had to be the study in his house.

After he said he was on his way to pick them up, the boss got up immediately. With one hand holding onto the phone, he took down his jacket that was sitting on a rack. It was another suit jacket. As he’d have a hard time putting that on in the middle of a video chat, Zhou Qinhe merely put the jacket over his arm as he chatted with them and walked out of his study. “Where are we going today… do the two of you have any thoughts?”

At this moment in time, Yan Shuyu’s attention had turned back onto the boss. The background in the video from the other end started to change. Through the phone, she saw him walking through the hallway, down the stairs, through a very grandeur looking living room ,and finally stopping in front of a garden that resembled a mini botanical garden. She saw him looking over somewhere not far from him, most likely where the little male lead was playing at.

Yan Shuyu was mesmerized and felt that she was about to turn into a lemon demon. The joy of being a wealthy person was, indeed, beyond her imagination. It’d be one thing if the boss’s luxurious mansion was in the suburb, but he didn’t live very far away from her. He had told her that he lived only twenty-minute drive away from her. That meant he lived very close by and the location was probably even better than hers. Exactly how filthily rich was he to have a mansion like that in the middle of the most expensive area of the city?!

Yet this filthy rich boss had to take away her 2-million-yuan check. Thinking about it made Yan Shuyu’s heart ached again. The joy of the upcoming date had instantaneously decreased by half and she was finally willing to hand the cellphone over to the little kiddo. “I don’t know. Why don’t we let the kids figure that out?”

As soon as she finished her last word, the cellphone was already in the hands of little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao who had been waiting for it the entire time. Yan Shuyu picked up her cosmetic mirror once again to finish up her final step. She left so quickly that she had missed the shot of the little male lead excitedly running toward his father with a rose in his hand.

Now that Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were chatting with each other, the two boys started with greeting each other seriously. “Good morning, Xiao Yi.”

“Good morning to you too, Yuanbao.”

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhang Yuanjia cut to the chase and asked like a big brother, “Where do you want to go?”

Little male lead said he didn’t have anything specific in mind, so Zhang Yuanjia said, “Would you like to go to a movie? Jiajia, my friend at the kindergarten said there is a very good movie playing right now at the theater.”

Yan Shuyu had already finished with applying her lipstick and pulled out her curling iron. She was going to give herself some big curls and she was already 1/3 way done. Seeing that she still has plenty of time, she turned her head and teased her son as she curled her hair. “Hey, kiddo, that sounds kinda plotting on your part. You can tell me if there’s a movie that you want to watch; I can take you any time.”

The little cutie, being called out by his mother, blushed but was still being stubborn. “I don’t want to see it that much. I just thought that if we don’t know where else to go, we can go to a movie, that’s all.”

That being said, he still went on to list out all the benefits of going to a movie. “… after the movie we can go play games. Do you like claw machines?”

Zhou Yi shook his head with a blank look on him. The little young master, born into the prestigious family, had never heard of the claw machines. Zhang Yuanjia just assumed that he wasn’t good at it and quickly comforted him by saying, “That’s alright. I am not very good at them either. I have never once gotten anything from any of them but they are still fun to play. My mom said it just takes practice, so we should practice more.”
