Chapter 164 - How to broach the subject (2)
Once again, she ran into Boss Zhou right outside of Sunshine House . This time Yan Shuyu was certain that the boss had just arrived as she saw his car pulling to a stop as she walked down the stairs .
His timing was so incredibly perfect . She stopped docilely and watched as the car window rolled down . The boss leaned over and greeted her, “Just getting off work?”
“Yeah . What a coincidence again?” said Yan Shuyu with a polite smile .
Zhou Qinhe didn’t chitchat with her but directly asked her, “Come eat with me?”
Yan Shuyu didn’t even give it much thought before she turned him down . “I already had dinner at work . ”
“That seafood restaurant that we went to last time is known for their seafood porridge . Limited supply . I had already made a reservation . Now is the perfect time to head over . ”
Hearing that, Yan Shuyu reflexively rubbed her belly . Porridge huh? She might be able to stomach two more bowls or so .
As she was hesitating, Zhou Qinhe smiled at her and said, “It might be a little bit on the late side, but porridge should be fine, right?”

Yan Shuyu mulled over it for a few seconds and finally patted where her purse was and hopped into the boss’s car . She told herself that her main purpose was to talk to the boss openly about the check; having porridges was only on the side .
With serious business as an excuse, Yan Shuyu had a much more righteous look on her . Once she had gotten inside of the car, she immediately buckled up herself before she pulled out her cellphone and called her son .
The place that they were renting did not have a phone . Yan Shuyu did not buy a cellphone for her instant son . An inexpensive cellphone cost only a few hundred yuan and she wasn’t frugal to this extent . She was more worried that her son would be addicted to cellphone at his age . She was still counting on him to for better times in her future, so that became a very important issue .
Yet, without a cellphone also meant that she had no way of reaching her instant son . Luckily, she has Manager Yan . Manager Yang’s niece has a high-technology smart watch that allows her to call her mother even from school . Once Manager Yan had learned about it, he bought the same one for Yan Shuyu as a gift . Which was why Yan Shuyu was able to communicate with her son who was waiting home for her right now . “Yuanbao, Mommy has something else to take care of and will be home late . Can you go to bed by yourself?”
Zhong Yuhuan was a very mature little boy, but he was still a very clingy child . That was perhaps a character flaw of all children from a single-parent family . He wanted to get down to the bottom of it . “Who are you with, Mommy? And what are you going to do?”

“Something minor . ” Yan Shuyu didn’t want to get into it, so she tried very hard to change the subject . “Mommy won’t be home to read you a story today . Will you be okay to go to bed by yourself?”
Unfortunately, Zhang Yuanjia wasn’t one to be easily dismissed . He continued to try to figure it out . “Are you with Uncle Yang, Mommy?”
Yan Shuyu could feel a look coming from the boss . She shook her head awkwardly, “No . ”
“Then is it Instructor Liu?”
The boss casted her another glance . It was not her imagination after all .

Yan Shuyu’s voice lowered some more . “No, can you go to bed like a good little boy?”
Little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao finally gave up and said in resignation, “Yuanbao can’t think of anyone else . ”
Yan Shuyu, “……”
She has way more female friends than male ones, but for some odd reason, the little kiddo just assumed that she was with a man .
She did, however, have an idea why her son would think of Instructor Liu but not the Uncle Zhou that he liked so much . She had been texting Liu Ci back and forth on WeChat lately . As her examination time was getting closer, Instructor Liu was also providing her with free tutoring . They had been in touch a lot, so, from where Zhang Yuanjia was, he thought that his mother was close to Instructor Liu .
As for Boss Zhou, even though he had met him two additional times, after the event at the musical institution, he hasn’t seen Uncle Zhou for almost a month so he wouldn’t even speculate that it’d be him .
