Chapter 278 – “Okay, I will owe you for now.” (1)
It stood to reason that the boss would never make a mistake like that. The more Yan Shuyu paid attention to it, the more she noticed that the boss’s performance was impeccable. Over time, she was even able to learn of her own mistake through observing the boss. As such, she made the boss her goal and wanted to be as fair as possible to the two boys. With that in mind, the minute that she thought about going on a vacation, she immediately thought to herself that she couldn’t leave the little male lead behind.
And, if she wanted to bring him with her, she’d need to first have a conversation with the boss. He is, after all, his father.
And that was also why when she was already excitedly researching plane tickets to the different islands and lodging information, she still held off telling the little boys. She wanted to communicate with the boss first before she gave them the good news.
Once she had gotten home, it wasn’t easy to find an opportunity to talk to the boss without the two kiddos around. The two of them were very clingy and they specifically enjoyed clinging onto her.
As they were now living with the very disciplined boss, dinner at their place was set at 6:30 PM every day. The children had about an hour of free time before dinner. Naturally, they would just sit around and wait idly for that. They utilized their time to play with the Lego that was a gift from the boss.
Toys like Lego had no age limitations. Yan Shuyu happened to be envious of their Lego so she would usually join and play with them.
Over time, this had turned into their parent-child bonding time.
The boss didn’t usually join them in this activity. It wasn’t so much that he thought it was too childish but that it was difficult enough for him to get off by 5:30 PM and be home before 6 PM to have dinner with them. As such, he would not have the time of time and energy to play with the kids like Yan Shuyu could.
That being said, when he had time, he, too, would roll on the floor and join in with them. Just like today, the boss had completed all his work and rightfully took off early and arrived home just after Yan Shuyu.
As soon as he walked inside of the house, he heard the kids cheered that they were going to run back and finish their Lego in their kids’ room. Boss Zhou, who was in a pretty good mood, took off his jacket and asked loudly, “Can I join you guys?”
Of course!
The little kiddos, after hearing his voice, ran back down excitedly and grabbed Uncle Zhou/Daddy to head to their happy Lego base camp.
Seeing that, even if Yan Shuyu wanted to have the discussion with the boss, it was difficult for her to say anything at this point. And, just like that, the two adults and the two children walked into the very colorful children room. With the thick carpet in the room, never mind about getting down on one’s belly, they could even roll around on it. As such, Yan Shuyu and the children were quickly laying all over the floor. There wasn’t much image to speak of but the happiness was real. Shortly thereafter, Yan Shuyu was so happy that she couldn’t think of anything else.
There would always be time to discuss what was truly important. What was the rush?
As they were all having fun together, little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao happily shared a good news with the rest of them. “I ran into Tongtong over at Teacher Xiao Lin’s. Tongtong said her mother has recently got a puppy and it is very cute. She also said that we are welcome to go over to play with the puppy when we have time!”
Tongtong was Manager Yang’s niece and had always gotten along well with Zhang Yuanjia. Now that they were neighbors, it was even easier for them to see each other. Zhang Yuanjia had even introduced his little buddy Zhou Yi to Tongtong. Naturally, when the little girl invited “them”, she was referring to both Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi.
