Chapter 243 (2

Yan Shuyu turned around and said happily, “Are you going back too? That’s great.”

She didn’t think that much earlier but now that she saw the boss getting up with her, it suddenly dawned on her that she needed a ride back in the boss’s car. Things would be much easier if the boss was leaving with her.

Zhou Qinhe was experiencing very complicated emotions right now. He didn’t want to talk so he just grunted lowly. Yan Shuyu was so delighted that nothing bothered her right now. She put her clothes on with a smile on her face.

After being busy for a few minutes in the silence, both of them returned to their nicely-dressed state as though nothing had happened. Nevertheless, if one was to look careful enough, they would be able to see the added intimacy and lingering feelings in their eyes whenever their eyes met.

At 2 AM, Yan Shuyu walked up to the front desk of the hotel with the boss in her arm to check out. The satisfying look on her immediately turned into shame under the curious look from the girls at the front desk.

Even though she knew that they were an official couple but checking out just two hours after they have checked in made her feel a lot like this was but a friends-with-benefit relationship.

Walking outside of the hotel, Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but share her thoughts with the boss.

Even though Zhou Qinhe had already returned to his usual calm self, seeing how familiar she was with this still bothered him. He gave her a deep look and said, “You seemed very experienced in this?”

Yan Shuyu shook her head madly. “Na-ah, I am not.”

But her denial was weak. As she had created a very wild persona from herself when she tried to turn the boss down previously…

Under the boss’s distrusting look, Yan Shuyu had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. Ah well, what’s done was done.

Boss Zhou had already returned to his usual gentlemanly self. He opened up the car door and helped her into the passenger-side seat. Then, he flicked her on her forehead as soon as she said down and chuckled, “Okay, stop frowning already. I was just kidding.”

“You were just kidding?” Yan Shuyu looked up at him, pleasantly surprised. “You believe me?”

Boss Zhou didn’t respond, but he lowered his head and gave her a kiss. The answer was very obvious. Yan Shuyu felt like spring had blossomed.

Zhou Qinhe watched on as Yan Shuyu gently opened up the door and a ray of light spilled out from inside of the house. He asked, worried, “Are they up?”

“I don’t think so.” Yan Shuyu waited for a few seconds before she shook her head and opened up the door the rest of the way as she explained to him, “I left the foyer light on on purpose when I left. That way even if they wake up in the middle of the night, they wouldn’t be scared that it was dark in the house.”

She left the light on even though she knew that her son was a sound sleeper and the little male lead was not that much worse than him. Ever since the first day he was over, he adopted quickly and would sleep through the night. He never overslept either and was not a handful at all.

Zhou Qinhe nodded and said gently, “That’s very thoughtful of you.”

Yan Shuyu smiled with complacency.

The two walked inside of the apartment one after the other and their movements were very gentle. They could hear the breathing from the two little kids in bed. Zhou Qinhe walked over to the bed and saw the two of the two kids sleeping next to each other. The smile on him deepened, and he leaned down and kissed them both.

Boss Zhou, unlike Yan Shuyu, who enjoyed sleeping in, had very good self-control. No matter how tired he was, his biological clock would always wake him up at the same time.

Today, however, was a little bit different. Boss Zhou, who had been single for many years, suddenly noticed how “lively” it was around him when he woke up. Not to mention that he had woken up somewhere unfamiliar. It took him a few seconds to recall where he was, and his motion of getting out of bed slowed.

After remaining silent for a little while, Boss Zhou decided to lay back down and close his eyes. When he opened up his eyes again, the situation had changed drastically from before. Two delicate little faces were in front of him with the same silly look on both of them.
