Chapter 218 – The delicate little male lead was dumbfounded (2)
Yan Shuyu didn’t pay much attention to suits before. She asked curiosity. “Is it very expensive?”
“His suit isn’t too bad. It costs less than 20,000 yuan.”
“Oh shoot, almost 20,000 yuan and you told me it isn’t bad?” Yan Shuyu looked at her little buddy in shock and suspected that she was too poor and all those around her were disgustingly rich. In both of her lifetime combined, she had never worn anything that was over 2,000 yuan, her winter down jacket notwithstanding.
Yet, at this very moment, Yan Shuyu had the exact same thought as Manager Yang. Both of them wanted to become the boss’s chauffeur immediately.
Speaking of the devil. The two of them were just done being envious of Mr. Chauffeur when the video chat request from the boss came. Yan Shuyu already had one round of food, and it had hit the spot. She accepted the video chat request without hesitation.
Putting her headphones on, she smiled at the boss. “How come you are still up? Isn’t it the middle of the night where you are right now?”
She remembered that they had video chatted a couple of days ago and that it was 4~5 AM where the boss was. It made sense the other day when he was still jet lagging, but it was a bit odd that he’d contact her at this hour today.
“Yanyan,” said Zhou Qinhe slowly after raising his brows. “I remember telling you yesterday that I am going to swing over to Washington overnight after my meeting?”
“Yeah, you did.” Yan Shuyu nodded without understanding why he mentioned that. The boss didn’t say anything else. But she seemed to hear the sound of curtains being pulled open, and then the background was bright in the video chat. “It’s already 7 AM in Washington.”
Yan Shuyu, “……”
Oops. That was embarrassing. She had never been to US before and had no idea about the different time zones there.
Judging from the boss’s tone, he probably wouldn’t believe her even if she explained that to him truthfully and would still think that she was just looking for excuses because she didn’t care enough about him. To show that she did care about him, Yan Shuyu quickly said, “Oh yeah, didn’t you mention that you will be going to New York after this?”
The camera had rotated back onto the boss. Zhou Qinhe said in an indifferent tone. “Mmhmm. I can head to New York after work tomorrow.”
“Does that mean you will be back soon?” asked Yan Shuyu with anticipation.
Boss Zhou paused for a little. He had a pretty good idea she had been having a lot of fun the last few days and had never occurred to her to ask about him had he not contacted her. It was impossible for her to miss him so much all of a sudden. He studied her for a few seconds with his piercing gaze.
Yan Shuyu, with her skin so thick, was of course not bothered by it. She smiled and dragged out her tone, “So iiiis it?”
Seeing the effort that she had put into faking it, Boss Zhou finally nodded. “More or less.”
Another three days or so. It was sort of fast.
Yang Zifeng, who had witnessed the entire process quietly, “……”
He had overestimated Boss Zhou. Boss Zhou’s resilience was even worse than his and couldn’t even withstand this level. Manager Yang judged Boss Zhou quietly. That being said, he himself did know his own little buddy quite well. Yan Shuyu quickly took the opportunity and changed the subject entirely. She said excitedly to the boss’s son. “Daddy will be coming home soon. Are you looking forward to that, Xiao Yi? Would you like to talk to Daddy?”
Zhou Qinhe, “……”
Zhou Yi, who was very focused on chewing on the bone, heard Yan Shuyu’s question. He had no choice but to voluntarily wipe his mouth and his little head. Yan Shuyu couldn’t have shoved her cellphone into his hand any faster.
Perhaps, all kids love actions. Zhang Yuanjia, seeing that his little buddy was talking to his dad, also wiped his mouth and injected himself to greet Uncle Zhou.
