Chapter 212 – To make the point that she didn’t want to become the little male lead’s stepmother (2)

But, it was still a bad idea. Taking the boss’s son out for fun was one thing. Bringing him home with them was definitely the precursor to becoming the little male lead’s stepmother. 

She couldn’t take that risk even for the brotherly love between her son and the little male lead. Yan Shuyu, having recollected herself, rejected the idea adamantly, “No, we can’t do that.”

“Why not?” Both little kids blinked and looked at her. If she looked carefully, Yan Shuyu could also see that the little male lead looked like he was about to start crying, which softened the heart of the old Aunty Yan, who was a fan of good looks. She may not be able to accept the proposition, but she needed to come up with a good reason to placate them. 

Thinking about it for a few seconds, Yan Shuyu said with most seriousness, “Even though it’s pretty cold today, you two are both good little kids who like to be clean, right? We all sweated when we had hotpot, so we need to go home and shower. Xiao Yi didn’t bring any clothes with him. What is he going to change into?”

Zhang Yuanjia replied immediately, “I can lend him my clothes.”

Yan Shuyu gave him a look. Her son’s response was startlingly fast. But, no worries, she went on, “But you don’t have brand new clothes either. Are you asking Xiao Yi to wear your old underwear?”

Having said that, Yan Shuyu looked over at little Zhou Yi confidently. She figured that as particular as the boss was, the little male lead probably wouldn’t be too different from him. He was, after all, a little young master born into a prestigious family. That’d be the bare minimum, right?

Sure enough, after she had said that, there was hesitation on Zhou Yi’s look. Zhang Yuanjia, too, was a bit embarrassed. He did say that his little buddy could borrow his clothes, but he couldn’t possibly lend him his underwear. The teacher at his school had also said that personal hygiene was important. 

The smart little boys were speechless all of a sudden. Yan Shuyu was happy about their responses, but she didn’t stop there. She continued, “Besides, Yuanbao and Xiao Yi are not the same size. Your clothes will be too big on Xiao Yi, and they won’t be comfortable for him.”

That being said, even at Zhou Yi’s age, all of his clothes were custom made. A few sets every month and more every quarter. He didn’t need to wear the same set of clothes a second time if he didn’t want to. It had never ever occurred to him to wear something that didn’t fit him. Even Zhang Yuanjia had never experienced that. His parents were not wealthy, but they weren’t so poor that he’d need to wear used clothes from others that didn’t fit him. Let it be the original owner or Yan Shuyu, who came later, they have always bought him clothes that fit him. 

As such, the two little boys who had never experienced any hardship were easily intimidated by Yan Shuyu and exchanged a look with each other. 

After a little while, the little male lead backed off and let go of Aunty Yan’s leg as he said with a stutter, “Em, perhaps, maybe next time…”

Yan Shuyu didn’t pay too much attention to what he said, but she’d need to act disappointed when he gave up so easily. She hasn’t even used her ultimate move yet – the little male lead had never seen an apartment that was smaller than a bathroom in his house. After all, even the very experienced boss was shocked when he reached the front door the first time he was there. Had the little boy insisted, she’d have told him that not only was her apartment small and old, but they only had one bed. If he came over, he’d have to share a bed with them. There was no way the little young master, growing up pampered, could handle that. 

Yan Shuyu was very proud that she was able to deter the two super intelligent little boys all by herself. She proudly patted both boys with both hands and said to them, “Okay, we will take Xiao Yi home first today. Let’s stop blocking the road.”
