The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 255 – Wrapping up the year (2)

Yan Shuyu was dumbfounded when she saw that. Then, she questioned it from the bottom of her soul, “Xiao Yi had been attending kindergarten this entire time? Did that mean he skipped school the one week that he was over at my place?”

To think that she had slaved over it.

The boss acted even more innocent than she did when he was confronted. “We didn’t tell you that he was in school?”

“No! You didn’t!” Yan Shuyu was very distressed.

“Well, I don’t think Yanyan asked either, did you?” said Boss Zhou with a smile. “Besides, Xiao Yi was only six months younger than Yuanbao. Isn’t it normal that he is attending kindergarten? There didn’t seem to be a point of bringing that up, am I right?”

Yan Shuyu, “……”

That seemed somewhat reasonable? Now she was the one who was speechless. The little male lead was not her son and it didn’t seem like it was her place to opine on whether he was attending kindergarten.

That being said, Yan Shuyu still felt a bit unjust. As such, the boss provided her with a better explanation. “Xiao Yi doesn’t make friends as easily as Yuanbao does. He is always bored at school. Seeing how he likes being with you two so much, I figured I’d just go along with what he wanted. It’s just kindergarten after all, it will be alright to skip a few days of it.”

Yan Shuyu’s lips twitched. She really wanted to mock the boss. She would have bought what he said had she not read the original novel. In the novel, the male lead might not have a lot of friends, but he was, for sure, not the one with no friends. The male lead’s stepbrother and stepmother, with all their plotting and flattering might have made it seem like that, but in reality, they were the ones without any real friends. Which was why once things started to come tumbling down, everybody that they knew disappeared immediately. The male lead, on the other hand, had friends who’d stand by him and also the female lead who was by his side the entire time. He was arguably a very lucky man.

That was why Yan Shuyu instinctively rejected the boss’s reason that the little male lead liked to be around them because he didn’t have any friends at school.

That being said, lowering her head and taking a look at the little male lead with his iceberg face, she wasn’t so certain anymore. Could it be that his good friends have not yet showed up and the little kiddo didn’t have friends for the time being?

That new thought made it easier for her to accept the reason that the boss had provided. Struggling for a bit, Yan Shuyu finally accepted the little male lead’s kindergarten invitation. The superb busy boss had taken time out to their activities, she couldn’t possibly not reciprocate when it came to the little male lead.

On the day of the activity, Yan Shuyu wore her same dress again and went downstairs with Yuanbao in his suit and tie to wait for the boss downstairs. After this activity, they’d probably need more than two photo albums to hold all of the pictures.

When both little kiddos’ activities were over, Yan Shuyu had also received her certification from her examination earlier and resigned from Sunshine House. Manager Yang, the nice and understanding man that he was, paid her on her last day.

In theory, now that she had left her old job and that Zhang Yuanjia was on his winter break, they could go on a trip for a few days before she started her new job. But as Yan Shuyu had decided to move to a bigger place, money was a bit tight for her so she decided against a relaxing trip or anything along that line. She started her job over at Male God Liu’s place the day after she left Sunshine House.

After Yan Shuyu had departed Sunshine House, she did not grow apart from her little buddy Yang Zifeng, but the two of them had become closer to each other. When she was working at the coffee shop, Manager Yang didn’t really have a lot of time to chat with Yan Shuyu while she was at work. Now things were different, Fengyu Musical Institution was very close to Yang Zifeng’s house and Yan Shuyu’s new job was much more relaxed, and the two of them could meet up whenever both of them were free.

In addition, Tongtong, Yang Zifeng’s little niece, had always been attending Fengyu for lessons. Yang Zifeng, as the one in his family with the most free time, was responsible for picking up and dropping off his little niece. He’d usually just plop down on the couch when he was over and the two of them would jump into a game right away.

All in all, with her little buddy to hang out with from time to time, all the new coworkers were friendly, and her new boss being very nice to her as well, Yan Shuyu adapted very well to her new work environment.
