The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 228 – Perhaps he felt that this way he had completely blended in with them? (2)

The little male lead looked up at her with his cute face and asked, “Can we not put it back into the suitcase?”

Yan Shuyu had a bad feeling. “Where do you want it then?”

The little kiddo pointed at their closet. He might look shy, but he was bold. Leaving his clothes here meant he could come over whenever from now on.

Yan Shuyu, “……”

She finally realized her mistake of inviting the wolf into her house, but why was the wolf that she drew the little male lead and not the boss? If it was the boss, she could at least devour him and be comforted. Now that it was the little male lead, she couldn’t do anything to him except wait on him. What a bummer!

Yan Shuyu thought about it some more. Even luring the boss over to her place was pointless. It wasn’t like the environment at her place would allow it. Wasn’t it even more upsetting if she could only look but not touch? The little male lead was arguably the better option here.

She felt better and happily accepted reality. “Okay, I will put it into the closet for you. You two go take a bath after I put things away, alright?”

The two boys repeatedly nodded, each nod more enthusiastic than the last. Yan Shuyu walked over to the closet with a pile of clothes in her hand. Yan Shuyu and her instant son didn’t have a lot of clothes, but the closet wasn’t all that big either. There was no way she would empty out an entire drawer for the little male lead. The best she could do was to organize hers and her son’s clothes and placed the little male lead’s coat with hers and his shirts and pants with her son’s. When she felt that she had completed her mission, she clapped her hands and said, “Will that work?”

The very particular little young master did not express any unpleasantness. Quite the contrary, he smiled a happy smile. Perhaps he felt that this way he had completely blended in with them? The little young master gave a satisfied smile and said, “Thank you, Aunty Yan.”

“You are welcome.” Yan Shuyu closed the closet temperlessly and patted them on their heads. “Now go bathe.”

Time had flashed by, it was already 9 PM. Yan Shuyu really wanted to hurry up, but the two little boys were very courteous toward each other.

“Does Xiao Yi want to go bathe first?”

“How about Yuanbao goes first?”

Yan Shuyu, looking at the time, just said, “Why don’t the both of you go together?”

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi turned and looked at her at the same time. Yan Shuyu felt that her idea was wonderful. The little young master had been very pampered, and she was already mentally prepared that she’d have to help him bathe. As for her own son, even though he knew how to do everything himself from a very early age, the price she had to pay was that he was very slow at it. As such, she might as well bathe them both together, that way it’d only be half the work.

Yan Shuyu, who had happily made up her mind, decided against giving them the chance to reject her suggestion. She picked up one little carrot with each arm and brought them into the bathroom. As they have mentioned that they wanted to put on the bath towels and be little dinosaurs, she didn’t bring any pajamas in there with her. She hung the two identical bath towels on the hook, locked the bathroom door, and said forcefully, “Okay, start stripping. I want to see which one of you can do it faster.”

Affected by her “aggressiveness”, the little kiddos dare not complain and started stripping quietly. Yan Shuyu did not just sit around. She scrubbed out her son’s designated bathtub and added hot water and bubble bath inside of it. Just a little bit of it made it foam up. Zhang Yuanjia nicely exclaimed from behind her, “Mom! The bubbles are blue!”

Yan Shuyu, “So jump in quickly then.”

Zhang Yuanjia being slow was all relative. By the time Yan Shuyu finished talking and turned around, he had already stripped down to his underwear and socks. Zhou Yi, next to him, was still struggling with his buttons. Yan Shuyu felt helpless for two seconds, pulled over her son, quickly stripped him of the rest of his clothes and said to him, “Darling, you soak in here first. I’ll go help Xiao Yi get undressed.”

A few seconds later, Zhou Yi, too, was naked. He even knew that boys and girls are different and tried very hard to keep his underwear on but failed. He finally climbed into the bathtub with his cheeks red.

The weather was turning cold. Yan Shuyu had been worried that her son was slow when he bathed himself and would get sick, so she bought him a new bathtub that was twice the size of his old one. That way it could hold more hot water and she wouldn’t have to worry about the water getting cold.

Because of this new bathtub, she was able to have the two of them bathe together. When Zhou Yi got inside the bathtub, the water was up to his chest and the bubbles reached his chin. He was truly having a bubble bath. Zhang Yuanjia was slightly taller than him, but the bubbles were also up to his shoulders.
