Chapter 187   – He wanted to see how long the attentiveness that she showed today would last (1)

Zhou Qinhe smiled but didn’t say anything else. Yan Shuyu felt that her performance was impeccable and happily gave herself a thumbs up. Then she, too, remained silent as the two children in the backseat were starting to fall asleep.

Zhang Yuanjia normally went to bed at around 9 PM or so. Perhaps he was exhausted because he didn’t really get much rest this afternoon and that he had a lot of fun today. He was the first to fall asleep. The male lead was more on less on the same boat as him. As the two kids were sleeping, Yan Shuyu didn’t want to disturb them. Besides, she didn’t have that much to talk about with the boss anyway.

They arrived on the bottom of Yan Shuyu’s apartment in silence. Yan Shuyu pushed open the door and got out. She turned around and noticed that the boss had also gotten out of the car. She was surprised. “You don’t need to go upstairs with me. We will be fine.”

Zhou Qinhe smiled and said, “Yuanbao is asleep. There’s no need to wake him up. I’ll bring him upstairs.”He looked over at her feet as he spoke. His message was clear.

Yan Shuyu did not go home to change after her date that afternoon. She had her uniform and flats at the shop to change into. She had gone into work in her fanciful outfit and had received a lot of stunned looks from her little buddies.

Pretty, yes. But after work, when she had changed back into her own garb afterwards, her range of motion was limited. Her instant son was undergoing his growth spurt and was getting heavier by the day. She couldn’t even carry him for over two minutes in flats, let alone carrying him home in her heels.

The boss’s suggestion was great except that Yan Shuyu was still a bit intimidated by him right now. “Isn’t that too much trouble? And we shouldn’t leave Xiao Yi alone in the car.”

“That’s alright. I won’t be gone for very long.” Zhou Qinhe had already switched to the tone that he would not take no for an answer and had already bent over to pick up Zhang Yuanjia.

Out of respect for the boss, Yan Shuyu didn’t dare to say more. She followed closely behind him like a little wife.

Zhou Qinhe carried her son all the way inside of her apartment, stopped next to the bed, and turned around, and gave her a look. Yan Shuyu got his meaning right away. She walked up, took off the little kiddo’s shoes and socks, and Boss Zhou was finally able to put him down in bed. He pulled the cover over him gently and never woke the little kid up.

Seeing that they had finally accomplished what they were trying to do, Yan Shuyu oddly felt a sense of relief, thanked the boss sincerely, and said, “Xiao Yi is still in the car, so I should not keep you any longer. Let me walk you to the elevator.”

Zhou Qinhe looked at her for a few seconds as though he was mulling over something, then finally nodded and said lightly, “Okay, then.”

As much as Yan Shuyu was surprised at this response, she dared not think too much about it. She closed the door behind her gently and walked over to the elevator with the boss. After she had pressed the button to the elevator, she suddenly heard the boss’s tender voice, “Yanyan.”

Yan Shuyu looked up and met his smiling eyes.

“Can it just be the two of us on our date tomorrow?”

Without any warning, Yan Shuyu said reflexively, “But I can’t leave Yuanbao home by himself.”

“We can take him back to the musical institution again. What do you say?”

It was theoretically possible except that wasn’t Yan Shuyu’s plan. After she had become a mother, she had become more and more like a mother. As much as she had wanted her son to become a prodigy so she could leech off of him, she still didn’t want him to have a toilsome life. Galaxy Musical Institution hasn’t started officially yet, and this was the only time left for the little kiddo to relax. She didn’t want to force him to work too hard just yet.

But, she didn’t want to go against the boss’s wish either. After all, she should give him some basic respect.

She struggled with it for a bit and finally recalled the cruel faceslapping of the rich woman. Yan Shuyu was intimidated and finally nodded docilely. “Let me check with Instruction Lin tomorrow and see if she’s okay with that.”

Good girl,” said Boss Zhou with a satisfied smile. With a “Ding”, the elevator was about to arrive. As the elevator door was about to open, he stoked Yan Shuyu on her head to show his approval and kissed her on her forehead before he casually walked inside of the elevator.
