Chapter 201 – Arranging for a Playdate (3)

Yan Shuyu and Zhang Yuanjia’s plan was to go and pick up the little male lead from his place. After all, the boss wasn’t home and the little male lead wouldn’t be able to come out on his own. 

Hearing what the boss had said, Yan Shuyu realized that poverty had still limited her imagination. Just because the boss was out on a business trip didn’t mean that the chauffeur wasn’t around. There might even be bodyguards who’d follow too. 

She happily accepted the boss’s arrangement. 

After she had nodded, she noticed that the boss’s words sounded very autocratic, so she reminded him by saying, “Don’t just drop him off. You should at least ask him if he wants to come first.”

Having said that, Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but grumble to herself that with the boss’s uncompromising style, even without the stepmom and the stepbrother in between, the father and son probably wouldn’t have a very harmonious relationship with each other. 

A mountain can’t hold two tigers; a household can’t have two domineering CEOs.

Zhou Qinhe didn’t really know what she was trying to get at, but he laughed wholeheartedly. Then, in a somewhat indulging voice, he said, “Okay, I’ll ask him how he feels first.”

That made Yan Shuyu feel better. As much as she felt that the little male lead loved both her and her son and most likely would not turn down their invitation, she still wanted to appear to be a liberal person. “Okay, I’ll wait for your good news then.”

Having said that, she recalled that the boss had just got off the flight and should be plenty tired. Feeling a stroke of conscience, she said to him, “Ah, you can just text me through WeChat. No need to call me again. You should get some rest while you can.”

The boss was, obviously, appeased by her being consideration and his voice went a whole notch softer. “Alright.”

Shortly after they hung up the phone, Yan Shuyu received the WeChat message from the boss and more or less confirmed to her that the little male lead had accepted their invitation. She quickly responded with, “Got it. Now go get some rest.”

After receiving the confirmation, Yan Shuyu informed Manager Yang and her little buddies. “Yuanbao had invited his little buddy Zhou Yi to come play at the shop. They might have to take over Manager Yang’s office again.”

Yang Zifeng knew that his buddy was already a couple with Boss Zhou, but he hadn’t expected her to be able to bring over his prince in such a short time. He raised his brows and said with admiration. “Zhou Yi, right?”

Yan Shuyu didn’t catch the meaning behind his look and was just about to nod when the others already started asking, “Who is Zhou Yi?”

Manager Yang replied for her, “He’s Boss Zhou’s son. You guys have seen him before.”

The crowd had met the wealthy young master before and had a lasting impression of him, but it was today that they found out his actual name. 

That being said, the crowd turned their attention onto Yan Shuyu’s and Boss Zhou’s relationship once again. Sherry was the first who put her arm in Yan Shuyu’s and asked her with a smile. “Okay, now spill, little Yanyan. What is your relationship with Boss Zhou now?”

Yan Shuyu knew there would be all kinds of speculation, so she wasn’t surprised by it. She pulled out the excuse that she had prepared ahead of time and said, “We are just friends. Boss Zhou went on a business trip and will be gone for a few days. Yuanbao was worried about his little buddy after he found out and insisted on asking him out.”

Naturally, her little buddies didn’t buy that. “He’s the young master who’s worth hundreds of billions. How’s Boss Zhou feel comfortable enough to let you take him out?”

“Maybe Boss Zhou is just a very trusting person.” Yan Shuyu made up stuff without even thinking. “Plus, I am his young master’s future cello instructor. They have already signed the contract over at the musical institution. Why wouldn’t he trust me?”

The others didn’t know much about music, but thinking that the musical institution decided to hire her after watching her performance, they figured she was good at it. Which would make sense that Boss Zhou would have her teach his child. Her little buddies were half convinced by her and all expressed their enthusiasm. “Okay, we will help take care of them when Yuanbao and the little young master are over.”
