Chapter 323   – Yan Shuyu was stupefied; was the boss touched by the scene as well? (2)

Luckily neither the boss nor Ye Rongchen were ordinary people – perhaps the old Ye Rongchen was the same as Yan Shuyu, but now that he had been gone for a few years, he was no longer that unruly teenager that he was on. After all, one’s environment would affect one a lot. His family was of high status and he had attended university the last few years. In addition, he had also been groomed by his other on managing the company. He had joined the rank of Tall, Rich, and Handsome and, naturally, his mannerism had also improved a lot.

While Yan Shuyu was stuck between a rock and a hard place, Ye Rongchen has finally had it all figured out and decided to be the bigger person. “You must be Boss Zhou. I am Ye Rongchen, Yuanbao’s father. I want to thank you for taking care of Yanyan and Yuanbao during this period of time.”

For some odd reasons, every time her son’s real dad referred to her as “Yanyan”, Yan Shuyu would experience a guilty conscience, as though she really had a relationship with him. As such, when the boss casted her a sharp look, she quickly shrank her neck and couldn’t withstand his look at all.

Nevertheless, Zhou Qinhe did not spend more time on messing around with her. He, too, put on a somewhat affectionate smile and said, “You are too nice, Mr. Ye. Yuanbao is Yanyan’s child, which is the same as my own. It’s my duty to take care of them. You don’t need to thank me for that.”

Yan Shuyu, “… …”

Yan Shuyu was a little baffled. What was going on here. Both the boss and her son’s dad were smiling and even shook hands in a friendly manner as they talked. Why was it that she seemed to be able to feel an invisible dueling there?

Welp, whatever. Yan Shuyu took a look at the time and said, “It’s time to go pick up the kids. We will be late if we don’t head out now.”

The reason that Ye Rongchen had reached out the olive branch first was precisely because he didn’t want the awkwardness between them delayed them from picking up the child. Looking at Yan Shuyu passionately, he asked, “Can, can I go with you to pick up Yuanbao?”

Boss Zhou, too, was looking at Yan Shuyu. His expression didn’t change much but there was disapproval in his eyes.

He didn’t say what he said just to spite Ye Rongchen. He had always been a planner in everything. If he had already proposed to Yan Shuyu, he was already prepared to become a family with Yan Shuyu mother and child. He would treat her child as if he was his own. He saw the appearance of the child’s father as unnecessary.

Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was never a domineering one like the boss was. She had no intention to get together with her son’s real dad for the original owner but, on the other hand, she also didn’t mind Ye Rongchen’s appearance into their lives. He was, after all, Yuanbao’s real father. Blood is thicker than water. There was nothing wrong with having one more person who would love the child genuinely.

Besides, her biggest worry had always been her son’s sudden decision on following the path of the original novel and became nemesis with the little male lead for fighting with him over his father, which would ultimately bring about his untimely death. Ye Rongchen’s reappearance was simply amazing. Now that her son had his own father, he would not need to fight over someone else’s. Did that mean her biggest worry had been resolved just like that?

All in all, Yan Shuyu was only too happy to see how eager Ye Rongchen was to love his child. She nodded without thinking, “Sure. Let’s all go together. Yuanbao will be startled for sure.”

Zhou Qinhe, who resented the idea, merely pursed his lips but never said anything. The three of them left together.
