Chapter 180 - Perfect Timing (3)
By the time Yan Shuyu had finished getting ready, the two little kiddos had happily decided to go to the movies then to the gaming center to claw stuffed toys.
In her mind, going to the movies was a very common form of activity. She had not only been to one with the boss before; she had also been to movies with Manager Yang and many other of her little buddies from the coffee shop. She had been to movies with her son countless number of times. As such, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with the four of them going to a movie together. Being informed by the little kiddo, she gave him an “OK” gesture.
Then, she could hear the boss’s voice from the other end. “Are you two ready to go? We will be downstairs in 2 minutes.”
Seeing that his mother had already put on her jacket, grabbed her purse, and was ready to take on anything, the experienced Zhang Yuanjia said loudly into the phone, “We are ready!”
He then said bye to his little buddy and ended the call. Taking his mother’s hand, the mother and son duo quickly headed downstairs.
Yan Shuyu dressed a bit on the more formal side. For the first time, she put on a dress and a pair of high heels – she had quite enjoyed wearing all sorts of dresses in her previous life but ever since she had transmigrated, she had become a young mother and needed to earn a living. She was either working or child-caring, so it was much easier to put on flats and jeans. Over time, she had forgotten what it was like to be in a long dress. When she stepped in front of the mirror in her heels today, she was stunning. Even she thought that it should be illegal for her to be that pretty.
All things considered, this was her first date with the boss. As much as Yan Shuyu wouldn’t admit to it, she did take it seriously. One could never be too pretty to go on a date. Who would ever think that about themselves? And that was why Yan Shuyu didn’t just apply the bright red lipstick but also took the time to give herself wavy hair.
Her hair naturally curled toward the end with a hint of casual laziness. Whether she just kept them down or had them tied up into a ponytail, they both looked good on her. But this time, in order to match her long dress and bright red lips, Yan Shuyu decided to go with a more retro wavy style hair from the top of her head all the way to the tips. The hairdo made her look like a completely different person. She walked downstairs amorously and gorgeously. If she used to have 50% people turn and look at her, then she has 99% today. Her charm was above age and gender.
Luckily, the mother and son duo were already used to being looked at on the streets, so neither one of them was disturbed by that. They just walked straight toward the familiar-looking car.
Seeing them walking toward his car, Boss Zhou got out of the car, opened up the door to the back, and waited quietly. As Yan Shuyu walked closer and closer with the little kiddo in tow, his look became more and more intense. There was an almost undetectable hint of tenderness in his eyes and he said in the sincerest tone, “You are so pretty today, Yanyan.”
Zhou Qinhe was fairly subtle in the way he expressed himself. He was, after all, a mature man who had seen many women in his days.
The little male lead looked even happier – the little kiddo’s mouth dropped open; his face that was becoming progressively more emotionless looked stunned by Yan Shuyu’s beauty. He was sitting relaxed in his safety chair, but he couldn’t hold still any more. He tried very hard in order to stick out half of his body to get the pretty aunty’s attention. He was even holding up a rose as high as he could toward Yan Shuyu and said, “Aunty Yuan, this is for you!”
Even though the little boy did not say one word to praise her, the stunned look in his eyes and the redness in his little ears filled Yan Shuyu with a sense of accomplishment. She took the flower from the little male lead and smiled like a blooming flower. “Did you pick this flower out yourself, little Zhou Yi? It’s very pretty. Thank you.”
The little male lead just looked up and looked at her, his eyes sparkling. Perhaps, he was too dazzled by Aunty Yan’s beauty, the usually very polite little male lead even forgot to reply with a “You’re welcome” today. His very straightforward reaction made Yan Shuyu had the regret of “I was born before you; and I was also old when you were born”. With the original owner’s beauty, if she met the adult male lead, her life would sure be much better.
Low and behold, she ran into the male lead’s father instead. The boss was more into power and scheming. Her beauty didn’t mean much to him. Specifically, as pretty as she looked today, when she brought up the check to him softly in the car, the boss merely told her that it had already been taken care of without any hesitation.
As much as Yan Shuyu had already been prepared for that, she still couldn't help but ask, “What did you do with it?”
“I’ve picked a good time and have someone send it back to Ms. Qin,” said Zhou Qinhe with a very gentle smile. “Today was the day of the Qin’s family banquet, and all of them will be in the same room together. I think this timing is perfect.”
