The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 308 – Could this be the boss’s legendary ex-wife? (3)

And now, the beauty had all of her attention turned to Yan Shuyu. She looked at her in a bluish way with her limpid eyes. Her eyes seemed to be filled with sadness and feeling like being treated unfairly. Her look made Yan Shuyu felt a pang of guilt. She tried to resist the pressure passively but was finally dragged over there by her son and the little male lead.

Yan Shuyu was very appreciative of both her instant son and little male lead abandoning the boss to deliver the message to her. As such, she had no heart to blame them too much so all of her disgruntlement was directed toward the boss. When they had gotten closer, she couldn’t help but grumbled, “Why do you insisted on us coming over?”

Zhou Qinhe gave her a smile that wasn’t a smile. “Weren’t you eavesdropping over there first?”

Yan Shuyu said very righteously, “Well, you never said a word and we were just about to leave.”

“Well, you are over here already. Might as well say hi.” The awkwardness between the two women didn’t seem to bother Boss Zhou at all. He put his arm around Yan Shuyu, pulled her closer, smiled and said, “You have probably already figured. This is Lin Surong, Xiao Yi’s mother.”

When Yan Shuyu was just about to explain that she wasn’t thinking about it at all, the boss had already looked down at his son and said gently to him, “Xiao Yi, say hi to your mother.”

As smart as Zhou Yi was, he was, after all, just a child and was not as smart as his Aunty Yan. He was a little stunned after hearing his dad’s words and looked at Lin Surong for a little while with his eyes widened as though he was trying to confirm something. Finally, he greeted her casually, “Good evening, Mom.”

He could have been greeting a stranger with his tone.

The tender and emotional Lin Surong was already choking back her tears with her hand over her mouth. There were tears in her beautiful eyes, which were curved with happiness inside of them. She walked up and stroked him on his head. “Darling, you have grown so much.”

Zhang Yuanjia held onto his mother’s hand tightly, at loss. He had always thought that his little buddy had no matter. The same way that he had no father. Having a mother was a good thing so how come Xiao Yi didn’t look all that excited seeing his mother?

The little kiddo looked up at his mother with question marks all over his face. Yan Shuyu, however, was even more baffled than he was right now. The mother and son duo looked at the other mother and son duo and listened in on their casual exchange of pleasantries before they parted ways. The little male lead’s mother finally walked toward the main venue while turning around frequently as she walked.

So when the boss said to come and say hi, he literally meant to come and say hi?

Yan Shuyu was completely dumbfounded. After they have returned to the venue, she did not spot Lin Surong again for the rest of the night. Looking at how calm both the boss and the little male lead were, she tried very hard to suppress all the questions that she had. Once they have gotten home, she quickly grabbed the boss and asked, “What is the story with your ex-wife?”

She was so anxious that she didn’t even remove her makeup or take off her jewelries yet. Boss Zhou, on the other hand, was very relaxed. He started taking off his jacket and remove his tie as soon as he had walked inside of their apartment. His voice, too, was indifferent. “Oh, I didn’t know that she had returned to China either. Uncle Yan had been very close with the Lin’s as of late. Had I known I would have looked for some excuses to get out of the gathering tonight.”

That was, unfortunately, not Yan Shuyu’s question. She looked at the boss solemnly. “I could tell already. Did she want to get back with you?”

“Sounds like it.” Zhou Qinhe lowered his head and unbuttoned his shirt casually as though what they were talking about was of little importance.

He didn’t care much about it but Yan Shuyu didn’t feel the same way. She couldn’t help but stuck her head closer to him and asked, “So? What are your thoughts on it?”

“Me?” Zhou Qinhe stopped what he was doing for a second before he looked over. His eyes were piercing like sharp knives when he looked up and, immediately, Yan Shuyu was intimidated and stopped talking.

Luckily, that was short-lived, and the boss’s look mellowed out again. His lips curving upward, he asked in a very sincere tone, “Why don’t you tell me your thoughts first?”
