Chapter 207 - Hot pot with kids (3)
With her providing such specific time the two kiddos accepted her explanation and stopped asking to chat with the boss . Another 30 minutes or so later, all of the little male lead’s attention was attracted by the hot pot in front of him radiating a thick, milky smell .
The hot pot shop was still the same one as before but they had rolled out new flavors as of late . Seeing that Yan Shuyu had two kids with her, the familiar server recommended a cheese hot pot (aka fondue) . Allegedly, it was very popular among kids, and all of them loved it after they had tried it .
Cheese was strength . Yan Shuyu had always enjoyed all sorts of cheese but has yet to try cheese hotpot . Being curious about it and after receiving the blessing from the kids, she ordered the cheese set . When the server brought it, she realized that it was a Korean style hotpot . The pot was filled with meat, vegetables, and ramen, with a lot of cheese sprinkled on top of the ramen . As the pot started to heat up, the cheese started to melt bit by bit, and the cheesy smell started to radiate out . The very unenlightened adult and two children were mesmerized immediately and all three of them sat up straight as they waited for the hotpot to come to a boil .

Finally, the hotpot started to bubble and the cheese had melted into the broth . As the cheesy smell got stronger and stronger, the color of the broth also started to change . It started to turn a slight yellowish color, and the smell became even more tempting . Yan Shuyu picked up the tools and announced, “Okay, ready to eat!”
As soon as she finished saying that, she started fishing out the now-ready meat balls of every sort and divided them out . First, she’d give one to the youngest Zhou Yi, then Zhang Yuanjia, and finally, herself . Even though both her son and the little male lead were pretty independent children, Yan Shuyu didn’t dare to let them be too independent when it came to hotpot . It would be no joke if they had accidentally burned themselves .
It wasn’t easy to be a mother . Zhang Yuanjia was already being a good host to his little buddy, and the two of them were already covered in grease . Yan Shuyu even added her favorite beef, fatty lamb, and shrimp before she started to enjoy the delicacies happily .

Less than two minutes later, her cellphone rang . She picked it up and saw that it was a video chat request from the boss . By now, both Zhang Yuanbao and the little male lead were so absorbed in indulging in their food that they no longer cared about the call . Yan Shuyu felt blue for a few seconds before she finally resigned to accepting the video chat request .
Yan Shuyu, who had picked up the call extremely reluctantly, stared straight at the screen as soon as the boss appeared in the video . She even voluntarily looked for her blue tooth ear piece as she greeted him – she could have hotpot any day, but it wasn’t everyday when she could see a handsome man coming out of the shower .
From the other end of the video, Zhou Qinhe had just finished showering and his bathrobe was tied loosely around his waist, making his flat and pale chest very visible . His hair was only patted lightly and water was still dripping from it . Pesized water droplets ran down the side of his cheeks, down his neck, down his chest, and disappeared into the robe .

If Yan Shuyu had to describe how he looked right now, she said “delectable” . He had always been the restrained kind of man who’d dress himself up properly and buttoned up even the very top button on his shirt . Him suddenly appearing like this without warning made Yan Shuyu give up her favorite hotpot . That ought to demonstrate the impact he had on her .
Zhou Qinhe didn’t seem to realize how seductive he was, or that he didn’t mind her staring at him . He watched the woman on the other end staring at him for a few seconds then frantically looking for her earpiece and grinning happily .
He chuckled heartily and asked, “Yanyan, what are you doing right now?”
