The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 256 (1)

As the newest staff member of the musical institution and the one lightest in experience, Yan Shuyu’s sales were pathetic. Luckily, she had the little male lead, her built-in customer, who had wanted to learn cello from her since way back when, on her first day of work. After such a long wait, not only did the little male lead not lose his patience, he was even more enthusiastic about it and asked to go to the institution for lessons with her daily, possibly because he was too bored over the winter vacation.

Zhou Yi was only taking cello lessons with his Aunty Yan and at most practicing his piano from time to time accompanied by Aunty Yan. Even so, he still expressed that he’d “be a team player” and wait for them to take off together.

As he insisted on hanging out at the musical institution, Yan Shuyu would be responsible for taking care of him. Nevertheless, Yan Shuyu did not complain too much this time. In addition to being compensated for it, she also noticed that as long as the little young master was with her, the boss would not only pick them up and drop them off at work every morning, but would also pick them up after work and drop them off home after dinner.

With all the fringe benefits, Yan Shuyu now willingly babysit for the boss.

Their new lifestyle quickly fell into a routine, and the next order of things would be to look for a new place.

Looking for places was a very physically demanding activity. Yan Shuyu had experienced that with her friends before graduation. With two little baggage in tow, the challenge would at least be increased by multiple folds. She decided to drag Yang Zifeng along to help with some physical labor.

Nevertheless, Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi truly surprised her. After they had walked around most of the little district and both Yan Shuyu and Yang Zifeng were already out of breath, the two little brothers with their short little legs had never asked for a break or to be carried. In fact, they were happily discussing the move.

“The little kiddos are so full of energy.” Even Yang Zifeng was amazed.

Zhang Yuanjia was very excited about their new place with Zhou Yi almost being as excited. When they went to tour the first place, Zhang Yuanjia pointed at the smaller bedroom and shared with his little buddy, “Mom said that when we move to a bigger place, I’ll have my own room. So this one will be mine.”

The little young master quickly added after him, “Then I can sleep with you and daddy can sleep with Aunty Yan. That way we won’t have to fight over the blanket.”

The quiet little male lead rarely talked so much. As such, it was obvious to see how excited he was. Zhang Yuanjia, too, nodded nonstop happily. “That’s what I am thinking too!”

And that was how the two boys had it all figured out. Yang Zifeng, after hearing all of the gossip, finally couldn’t help but give his little buddy a profound look and said, “No wonder you are rushing to look for a new place. Your old place is kind of challenging.”

The smile froze on Yan Shuyu’s face. She shook her hands frantically at her little buddy. “No! Not true! We didn’t!”

What she really wanted to tell the little male lead was that: Baby, you are overthinking this. She would only be spending more time keeping the father and son away from them. After all, just like he had pointed out, it’d become much more convenient with more rooms. If she had inadvertently let them in, they’d be very difficult to get rid of.

The boss might appear to be gentle and approachable, but Yan Shuyu had it figured out a long time ago, he was everything but gentle and approachable. He may seem like he was well adjusted to the lifestyle of a normal peasant, but after a while, Yan Shuyu had picked up some hints here and there. Take the other night when the boss had stayed over for example. The boss seemed perfectly okay with staying over at her place and had someone bring over a hot and steamy breakfast the next day as though he was very accustomed to this. But, Yan Shuyu noticed that the boss had changed into new clothes without a word.

The boss, as someone who paid so much attention to the details in life, would he really be okay with her kind of simple lifestyle?

Of course not. With the difference in their intelligence, if the boss truly enjoyed being over at her place as much as his son did, would she have been able to stop him? No. Yet, she was able to somehow. That could only mean one thing. The boss was not serious in this relationship.
