Chapter 251 (1)
“Robin, my assistant. Do you still remember him?”
“Sure.” Yan Shuyu nodded happily. The boss’s two assistants were very memorable, more so than Secretary Lu whom she had met a couple of times. The reason being that both of the male elites were very handsome. Louis, in particular, with his golden framed spectacles and suit, was so outstanding.
Even though she was already in a committed relationship, she still appreciated ogling handsome men. She was still asking happily, “So Robin saw me? Why didn’t he say hi?”
As observant as Boss Zhou was, he would not have missed the happiness in her voice. He pursed his lips immediately and stopped talking.
Yan Shuyu didn’t notice anything at first. A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of her place. The boss, whose left hand was still resting on the steering wheel, lifted his chin at her casually and said, “Now go home.”
Yan Shuyu, who was very slow, finally noticed that something wasn’t right. She pulled her hand back from the door handle and asked him, “Aren’t you going to come upstairs with me?”
Zhou Qinhe didn’t say anything. Even though she couldn’t really tell his emotions from his look, she could sense that he was upset.
But she wasn’t worried. If the boss was jealous, she would be lighting fireworks to celebrate. What was there to worry about? The fearless Yan Shuyu took the boss’s right hand and laced her fingers with his. The two hands joined together tightly, and she shook his hand slightly and said, “Walk me up, pleeeease?”
Boss Zhou pursed his lips and finally showed a sign of a smile, an indication that he was softening up.
But this time, he didn’t grant her her wish immediately. He looked down at her and asked out of the blue, “You were shopping at the men’s stores?”
That Robin sure has good eyes. She wondered how long he had been watching her. She looked up at the boss, and her smile was even sweeter than before. “Yes. I bought you a Christmas gift.”
Zhou Qinhe’s eyes flickered, and his look softened completely. “What did you get?”
“I can’t tell you now,” said Yan Shuyu shamelessly. “It’s a surprise.”
“That secretive?” Zhou Qinhe chuckled, then he rained on her parade. “What if I don’t like it?”
Yan Shuyu was a little shocked. “Then… I am still not taking it back.”
Then, there was peck on her lips. Zhou Qinhe, looking at her tenderly, said, “I mean, you are not allowed to prepare surprises like that in the future. We will go pick them out together.”
Yan Shuyu retorted, “But you prepared a surprise as well.”
“That was because I was on a business trip and you weren’t around.” Zhou Qinhe paused and smiled. “So we are even now. Why don’t we go shopping on Christmas day so you can pick your own gift? What do you say?”
Yan Shuyu really wanted to nod, but she was a little bit embarrassed. “But you have just bought me a gift…”
Boss Zhou had already made arrangements on his own, “We will spend Christmas Eve with the kids and take them to the musical institution on Christmas Day.”
Yan Shuyu nodded reflexively. “Okay.”

The next day, her instant son also happily brought up Christmas to Yan Shuyu. He said that their class had already started preparing for the Christmas tree etc. and that many of his classmates were also decorating at home.
The little boy looked up at his mother and asked naturally, “Mom, are we going to celebrate Christmas?”
Yan Shuyu didn’t notice that the question was loaded and nodded casually. “Sure, if that’s what you want to do.”
The little kiddo smiled immediately and asked with anticipation, “Then can I invite Xiao Yi over for Christmas?”
Yan Shuyu gave him a surprised look. “Since when are you two that close? It’s only been a few days and you miss him already?”
Zhang Yuanbao smiled so much that all one could see were his teeth but not his eyes, as though he had silently admitted to the fact that he missed his little buddy a lot. Yan Shuyu thought to herself that if the two of them could always be so close with each other, she would have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.
She told him the truth, “I have already made plans with Uncle Zhou. We will be spending Christmas Eve together.”
“Yay! Mommy is the best!” Zhang Yuanjia exclaimed happily and threw his arms around his mommy’s thigh. Then, he asked with all of his cuteness, “So, will Xiao Yi be staying over at our place too?”
