The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 69 – The Legendary French Cuisine (1)

Popcorn and cola had made her so happy that not only did she stop talking to the boss, she also stopped typing to Yang Zifeng on WeChat. The lonely boy’s video chat request came shortly thereafter.

The abrupt ringing sound from the request almost made Yan Shuyu choke on her popcorn, and that was when she remembered that she had forgotten to tell him there was no need video chat with her after he had picked up her instant son. He could just head on home. After all, the plot was quite powerful. The very first time the kiddo saw the “instant dad” from the book, he was already all over him. If he found out that she was with him, she wasn’t sure what kind of effect that would have on him.

Yan Shuyu had been trying her hardest to give the kiddo a correct view of the world. Having him target the male lead’s father again would not be conducive to her purpose. As such, she clicked on “Decline” without hesitation. But, after she had opened up chat again and was going to text them that she couldn’t do video chat right at the moment, her impatient buddy sent a second video chat request.

Naturally, Yan Shuyu was going to decline the request again. But before she could do that, the boss’s voice came softly, “Why aren’t you picking it up?”

His tone was very normal, but Yan Shuyu felt a chill around her for no obvious reason. She looked up subconsciously and saw the smile on the boss and confirmed that she was thinking too much.

Yan Shuyu clicked “Decline” again as she explained to the boss, “Well, I had a colleague pick up my kid and spend some time with him since I was out shopping. He must have picked him up now and just wanted to let me know.”

“That’s Yuanbao?”

The boss man, who has a host of his own problems to deal with every day, actually remembered the kiddo? He definitely was aiming for her son. Yan Shuyu nodded nervously, “Yes.”

Zhou Qinhe, not letting anything show, asked again, “Why don’t you want to answer Yuanbao’s video chat request then?”

Yan Shuyu dared not tell him that she was guarding him like a hawk, so she had to come up with a different reason. Mixing a little truth with a little lie, she sighed and said, “For some reason, Yuanbao liked you a lot. Ever since he saw you last time, he talked about you for a long time. If I accept his video chat request now and he saw that you are next to me, he’d be all over it again. So I better not.”

For the sake of muddling through it, Yan Shuyu had given up all her pride and straight up flattered the boss with every word. How his charm was so boundless that even a little kid couldn’t resist him. Her effort was not in vain.

The boss obviously lapped it all up. Raising his brows, he said happily, “Yuanbao is very cute too. I quite enjoyed my time with him as well. But if you don’t want us to see each other that is fine as well. You guys can chat. I won’t show up in the view.”

The angle of a cellphone camera was, indeed, very limited and the boss’s suggestion was very reasonable. Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, felt that the boss was particularly insistent on the issue of her video chatting with her son. Did he really wanted to kidnap her instant son? Now Yan Shuyu was really nervous and hesitant about his suggestion.

Her buddy, on the other hand, had not yet given up and sent a third request.

Yan Shuyu didn’t make her own decision this time but subconsciously looked up at the boss. She noticed him looking at her with a very loaded look, as though he was telling her “go ahead, try to decline again if you dare.” She had an odd feeling that she was being forced by her boyfriend to connect with another man in order to clarify that there was nothing between them.
