The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 93 – Welp! This Is Awkward! (2)

She quickly realized that she was being too overly optimistic. She didn’t know whether Boss Zhou felt better after he saw Yan-jie, but what she could tell was Yan-jie was asking for it. Boss Zhou could attract attention like a spotlight, and both his status and looks were no worse than the man sitting across from her.

Not to mention, his son was every bit as cute as their own “mascot” Yuanbao. The father and son duo would be the center of attention no matter where they went. Yet, somehow, they had walked straight toward Yan Shuyu’s table since they’ve come in, but Yan Shuyu was so focused on her conversation with the handsome man that she had never once looked in their direction.

Even though Lin Lin also felt that the newcomer big brother looked like a movie star, Boss Zhou was, after all, a regular patron of theirs. Throwing in the cute little boy, she was more on their side. Putting herself in Boss Zhou’s shoes, she’d be furious at Yan-jie’s heartlessness as well.

Thinking about that, Lin Lin no longer felt that the fact that Boss Zhou had been beelining toward Yan-jie since he came in was a good thing. She felt bad about it, yet, she was but a pitiful and powerless little server, what could she have done?

In order to avoid being dragged into the impending hurricane, Lin Lin made the decision to skeddadle out of there before anyone had noticed her. She did, however, pull through for Yan Shuyu when she threw down a “Yan-jie, he’s all yours” before she slipped away.

After she tossed her words, she dashed before she could see what Yan Shuyu’s reaction was.

Yan Shuyu was having a good time listening to the male god’s stories. When she was interrupted by her little buddy, she looked up, baffled. Only to find out that her little buddy was already long gone and Zhou Qinhe, whom she didn’t even know had come, was standing there in front of them.

That was too scary! Yan Shuyu was so shocked that she almost leaped out of the couch. In fact, she did exactly that. When she came to, she was already standing respectfully there to “greet” the boss. She was even babbling incoherently, “Boss, Boss…. Boss Zhou, how come you are here?”

Zhou Qinhe looked straight at her for a few seconds before he said nonchalantly, “Why? I can’t come?”

With such a scene, along with Boss Zhou’s look and the curious tone. That’d for sure make others feel that there were a lot of stories between these two.

For a brief second there, Yan Shuyu felt like she was a cheating spouse who was caught red-handed. She shook her head and rid herself of those crazy ideas. Struggling to save herself, she said, “Of course not. I am just a little surprised was all. Hasn’t Boss Zhou just visited a couple of days ago? I thought you won’t visit again for another week or two like you normally do.”

“Is that so?” Zhou Qinhe’s eyes flickered and finally he was no longer looking at her in a way that made her wonder if she had forgotten to put clothes on this morning when she left the house. His landmark smile had returned, but his tone was still a little sarcastic, “I didn’t know you’ve paid that much attention to me.”

Who paid that much attention to you? – was what Yan Shuyu really wanted to say, but as slow as she was, she did notice the unhappiness exuding from the boss man so she decided against challenging his bottom line.

Yes, Yan Shuyu attributed the boss’s unhappiness to her being too engaged in chatting with her newly acquired buddy and didn’t give him a big welcome. The boss man, who was used to being ooo’d and ahh’d everywhere he went, must have felt disrespected, which subsequently caused his unhappiness.
