Chapter 97 – The villain and the male lead meet (2)
It so happened that Zhou Qinhe was also watching Zhang Yuanjia’s activities and saw every single look from Yan Shuyu.
As smart as Zhou Qinhe was and as much of a thorough planner as he was, he never would have guessed that Yan Shuyu, as a full-grown adult, would be so childish as to compete with him over an issue as tedious as who her son chose to stand next to – how was that any different that the two kids staring at each other?
Zhou Qinhe had overestimated Yan Shuyu and totally misunderstood her look. After he thought for a few seconds, he raised his brows at her meaningfully. Except that, by this time, Yan Shuyu had already shifted her attention away from the boss.
In all actuality, Yan Shuyu’s gloat lasted all of two seconds.
Sure enough, her son had decisively chosen her over the male lead’s dad. In fact, his little body was glued to her leg and he had no plan of letting it go. But Yan Shuyu noticed that the little male lead was also planning to glomp onto her. What was going on? The male lead and the villain were no longer fighting over the Boss Daddy, but were now fighting over the evil stepmom?
Yan Shuyu was dumbfounded.
She looked down at the little male lead who was getting closer and closer to her and looking like he was about to wrap his arms around her other leg just like little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao. Yan Shuyu opened and closed her mouth. She wanted to encourage him to go to his own dad, but looking at the little male lead’s face that was cuter than Lolita, she couldn’t get herself to say anything.
Even though Yan Shuyu had been referring to Zhou Yi as “little male lead” all the time, she didn’t really associate him with the male lead. After all, “she” was sent to jail by the male lead personally in the book. If she really associated Zhou Yi with the male lead and as timid as Yan Shuyu was, she would have peed herself the first time she met Zhou Yi at Sunshine House no matter how young or how pretty he was. She might not be able to afford to move, but she’d have at least changed a job to draw the line between her and the male lead!
The fact that she could still work there gleefully and even play with the little male lead was evidence that deep inside her mind, she clearly distinguished Zhou Yi from the male lead.
Removing the “male lead status”, Zhou Yi was a very likable little boy. His face that was as pretty as a little girl alone was enough for someone as superficial as Yan Shuyu to not be able to walk away. More importantly, even though this little kiddo was also always expressionless like an iceberg in front of others, whenever he was in front of Yan Shuyu, he’d turned into this quiet and shy little boy. How could anyone resist a kid that was as cute as him and also has such a cute personality?
Unfortunately, that’s a side effect of being such a young mother. Two months ago, Yan Shuyu was a cold, heartless woman who could say “no” to any terrible children – after all, she felt that she was still a child herself so it didn’t matter how cute or pretty the child was. But now, her motherly instinct had already expanded to a point that she couldn’t say no to others’ children.
