Chapter 254   – Wrapping up the year (1)

On Christmas Day, Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi went to “pick” their Christmas presents from the tree happily.

Yan Shuyu got them toys as did the boss. Even though both of them got them toys, the boss’s presents were much more generous than Yan Shuyu’s. Not only were the two kids excited over the two sets of LEGO, even Yan Shuyu was a little bit envious. She, too, was just a baby and she wanted LEGO also!

As such, when she was on a date with the boss later on, she couldn’t help but linger in front of the LEGOs. She finally gave up on that as she recalled her earlier bold determination to get the boss good in presents.

Yan Shuyu, who was always true to her words, dragged the boss with her to the purse counter. She finally carefully picked out a Fendi purse which cost just a tad over 10,000 yuan after discount.

Boss Zhou even asked her caringly, “Is this all you want?”

Yan Shuyu held onto the purse and nodded with a very satisfied look on her. She knew that the purse she picked wouldn’t even make the boss blink an eye, let alone making him hurt. But that would be alright, she liked it a lot. She had never owned a purse that cost more than 4-digit her entire life. Now that she could have a purse that cost more than 5 digits, it was for sure a big upgrade.

Zhou Qinhe smiled when he paid and asked her gently, “Want to look around some more?”

Yan Shuyu was already very pleased with her new purse. With her arm in the boss’s, she said, “Nah, let’s go watch our movie.”

After Christmas came her son’s performance. As Instructor Lin had made a point to let her know that she could invite friends and relatives so it would be livelier in the audience stance, Yan Shuyu casually asked the boss after giving it some thought.Just like Yan Shuyu, Zhang Yuanjia, too, had extended his invitation to his little buddy Zhou Yi. As such, it was the four of them together again on the day of.

The boss had become more and more down to earth as of late. Not only did he find time to attend these events with them, he also brought along his camera and said that he’d take a lot of pictures of Yuanbao when he was on stage.

Yan Shuyu was pleasantly surprised at how caring the boss was. “You are so considerate. You even brought the camera.”

Boss Zhou smiled humbly. “A coworker reminded me.”

Now Yan Shuyu was curious. “You talked about this with your coworkers?”

“We all have kids at home. So, yes, we talked about it occasionally.”

Yan Shuyu hadn’t expected that even elites like the boss would talk about something like that privately. She suddenly felt that the difference between elites and regular people might not be as big as she had initially thought.

What she didn’t know was that the side effect of Boss Zhou’s little “chitchat” was rumors going around the headquarter that the boss’s relationship was getting serious. Some of them even reached out to Louis, their CEO’s assistant, for more details.

That, of course, didn’t have much to do with Yan Shuyu. Her main focus lied with her instant son. The camera did, indeed, prove to be very useful. When Yuanbao was performing on stage, they would be filming in the audience – the boss being responsible for taking pictures and Yan Shuyu and the little young master for cheering him on.

After the performance was over, the parents and the children had free time to wander around and tour the school ground. The four of them took even more pictures. Some portrait ones, some of the two boys holding hands. If they were to print out all of the pictures, it would fill way more than one album.

And then the performance was over. Yan Shuyu had a lot of fun taking pictures and had a great time.

She also hadn’t expected that there would be more to this. Two weeks later, she received the boss’s invitation to the little male lead’s activities at his school. The little young master’s kindergarten was much classier and more elegant than Yuanbao’s. They even received an actual invitation and a classy one at that.
