The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 200 – Arranging for a Playdate (2)

Zhong Yuhuan’s focus wasn’t there anyway. After he was done lamenting, he asked again, “Will Mommy be chatting with Uncle Zhou again this afternoon?”

Yan Shuyu had an idea of what he was trying to get at, so she gave him a very vague answer. “It’s not even noon yet. How’d Mommy know?”

That didn’t bother Zhang Yuanjia much. He gave her a very serious look and said, “If Mommy talks to Uncle Zhou today, be sure to let him know that we want Xiao Yi to come play with us!”

Sure enough, he still remembered it.

Yan Shuyu, unsurprised, said, “Okay.”

Probably feeling better after Yan Shuyu had nodded seriously, Zhang Yuanjia pitter pattered back to the bathroom to finish getting ready.

Nevertheless, the little kiddo only felt reassured for about an hour. When he was about to part with his mother at the kindergarten, he added again worriedly, “Mom, don’t forget to tell Uncle Zhou that we want Xiao Yi to come play with us!”

Being reminded like that as though her reliability was being doubted, Yan Shuyu waved without wanting to dignify it. “Okay, okay. Your mom is not that forgetful yet.”

Little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao, on the other hand, still didn’t feel too overly reassured. He turned around several more times as he walked inside of the school structure.

Then, by noon, he called Yan Shuyu up from his smart watch. Sounding like a broken record, he said again, “Mom, Mom. Don’t forget to tell Uncle Zhou, okay?”

“Mom” was very irritated and didn’t want to respond to him at all. Three times was a lot already, and this little kiddo had already nagged her 3 ~ 4 times. Yan Shuyu finally came to the realization of exactly how unreliable she was in the little kiddo’s mind.

Nevertheless, she refused to admit to the truth. She merely told herself that her instant son was persistent and had a good follow through. That’s a very important quality for a successful individual. And that she should be happy about it.

From a certain perspective, Zhong Yuhuan has chosen the correct strategy. Had he just waited quietly for good news from his mother, as much as Yan Shuyu wouldn’t go back on her words, she wouldn’t be too active about it either. It’d probably be a couple of days before she’d remember to mention it to the boss. Yet, but being nagged so much that she was irritated, Yan Shuyu couldn’t wait to bring it up to the boss as soon as he contacted her after he had landed.

After exchanging some pleasantries, she asked, “Ever since Yuanbao found out that you will be gone for several days leaving Xiao Yi home by himself, he has been very worried about him and wanted me to ask you if Xiao Yi can come play with us.”

For the sake of avoiding any unnecessary misunderstandings, Yan Shuyu made it very clear that it wasn’t her idea at all.

Zhou Qinhe had a pretty good idea about what kind of a person she was. Not only did he not overthink what she said, he even kindly said to her, “Both Yuanbao and Xiao Yi are young and need a lot of attention. Will it be tiring for you to watch over both of them?”

Yan Shuyu couldn’t have agreed more. “Yes, I would think so.”

It was hard enough to be watching over one rug rat. He had almost cured her of her cellphone addiction. Now there would be one more, why was she doing that to herself?

Her reaction was unexpected. The boss chuckled helplessly from the other end before asking tenderly, “Then what should we do?”

Thinking about how stubborn her little kiddo was, Yan Shuyu finally gave in and said, “It’ll be fine. I am very experienced with children. Besides, Xiao Yi is a very well-behaved kid as well.”

See how determined she was, Zhou Qinhe smiled and said, “That works. When do you want to meet?”

“How about 4 this afternoon? Yuanbao will be out of school and the two of them can hang out at the coffee shop. I’ll try to get off earlier today and take them to the park or something.”

Zhou Qinhe was very agreeable. “Okay. I will have them drop Xiao Yi off at Sunshine House after 4 then.”
