The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 238 – An exhausting three days (3)

Yan Shuyu was too tired to have an appetite and Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi had too many snacks at the amusement park, so they weren’t very hungry either. All three of them agreed on having porridge for dinner. Yan Shuyu ordered Chaoshan clay pot porridge for dinner. She also ordered two orders of salt and pepper duck chins in addition to that.

“I can have an entire order of duck chins on my own. You two are to share the second order. No fighting over my share.”

The wealthy little young master had never had duck chins before and had no idea that they were even edible. There was a lot of hesitation on his face. Zhang Yuanjia took his hand in his and explained it to him. “This really is very good. You need to trust Mom in her taste in food. Everything that she says is good, is good.”

Her son was short of saying that she was a foodie and that all they needed to do was to listen to her. But that did not bother Yan Shuyu one bit. She nodded complacently and said, “Exactly. There will always be good food when you are with me.”

The adult and two children rested for several minutes at home before the little delivery brother brought their dinner up. Yan Shuyu picked up the dinner table briskly before she sat down on the chair. The two little kiddos stood on the side and the three of them finished the entire bucket of clay pot porridge and the duck chins. Zhou Yi, who had no idea how to eat them at the beginning, finally started clutching them with both hands and gnawing on them. Now he was even licking his own fingers just like how his Aunty Yan and his little buddy did.

Savoring the taste that was still lingering on her tongue, Yan Shuyu took the little carrot heads to have their mouths wiped clean and their hands washed. They couldn’t bath immediately after they ate, so she turned the television on for them. “You get to watch cartoons for half an hour before you go take your baths.”

Yan Shuyu took the opportunity to remove her makeup and washed her own hair. Just six months ago, she was still a delicate girl who would not even leave the house without washing her hair first. Now that she had become an instant mother, she’d wash her hair at most three times a week as her hair was thick and long and each time after she had washed it, it’d take half an hour to dry. That was more time than she could afford.

And ever since the little male lead had invited himself to her place, she hadn’t washed her hair in three days. She was about to go insane should she let it go any longer.

Yan Shuyu felt revitalized after she had washed her hair. She then chased the two children to bathe. She would need to bathe them and blow dry their hair. It was, again, almost 9 PM when all was said and done and time for bed. The boss’s comforting call finally came and Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but whine to him. “I am soooo tired today…”

“Poor thing, Yanyan. Take a day off tomorrow and get some much-needed rest,” said the boss gently.

“Um, I think it’d be more relaxing if I go into work.” Yan Shuyu had it all planned out already. “I will drop them off the musical institution early tomorrow morning. Instructor Liu will drop them off at the coffee shop in the afternoon, and they can wait for me to get off work there.”

She wouldn’t even take off work early anymore. She could get off at 8 PM and just tuck the two little kiddos in when they get home. That way she wouldn’t need to play with them and wear them out. Perfect.

Boss Zhou gave her a thumbs up secretly and gave her a very loaded smile. “That is a good plan.”

Yan Shuyu did not pick up the subtext in his words. She merely hid inside of the bathroom and complained. “When you return tomorrow, you really, really need to pick up Xiao Yi. When him and Yuanbao are together, they are too rambunctious.”

Boss Zhou smiled good-temperedly. “Okay. Whatever you say.”

Yan Shuyu, still a bit worried, asked, “Are you sure you are returning tomorrow?”

Something else seemed to have crossed the boss’s mind and his smile became even more tender. “Yes, come hell or high water, okay?”

Yan Shuyu harrumphed a couple of times. “That’s better.”

At this point, Yan Shuyu was ready to end the conversation and go to bed. The boss suddenly asked, “You promised to come and pick me up from the airport before. Are you still coming?”

Yan Shuyu didn’t think he’d still remember that, but she did promise that and had no intention of going back on her words. “Of course. What time tomorrow?”

“I don’t know yet. My time is pretty flexible given that it’s my private plane.” The boss explained patiently. “I’ll let you know when I take off.”

Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but thought enviously to herself: uh huh, private plane. Oooh, big deal. But she finally nodded. “Okay. I am turning in now. I will see you tomorrow.”
