Chapter 196 – The “Poor” Little Male Lead (1)

Yan Shuyu quietly let go of him. For once, she felt reluctant to have to let him go. “Then… I’m going.”

“Wait…”

Yan Shuyu turned around immediately, her eyes beaming. There was more anticipation in her voice than she even realized, “Something else you want to tell me?”

Zhou Qinhe personally pulled out a bag from the trunk of the car and handed it over to her. “I almost forgot about this.”

Yan Shuyu accepted it without realizing she did that and that’s when she noticed that it looked like a bag for toys. She looked at the boss, somewhat baffled, “This is?”

“Xiao Yi was very happy when he got your gifts yesterday. He wanted to thank you in person, but it was late. So he prepared a gift in return.” Boss Zhou paused and even went on to elaborate. “This is his favorite car. Xiao Yi wrapped it himself and hopes that Yuanbao will like it too.”

Yan Shuyu thought about it for a little bit before she figured out the logic behind the little male lead giving her a toy – She had bought him items for kids. Perhaps the little male lead felt that’s how one’d reciprocate? But, as an adult, she’d have no use of it, so the toy would go to her son instead.

Speaking of, Yan Shuyu had never really bought any toys for her instant son since she had transmigrated over. It wasn’t so much that she was frugal, but that she had just become an instant mother and had zero experience in being one. That and her son was overly docile and mature and had never asked for any toys. In fact, he barely even played with the few that they have at home; thus giving Yan Shuyu the impression that he didn’t need any toys.

Come to think about it, if the extraordinary male lead had his favorite toy cars in his childhood, her son probably did too. He probably just didn’t care about the few low-end ones that they have at home.

That thought made her feel antsy. All of a sudden, she was drowned in guilty conscience for not doing a good job in providing for her son. She just wanted to dash home right away. And whatever little reluctance that she had for the boss leaving was all gone. She quickly waved at him and said, “I’m sure he’ll like it. I should go now. Bye!!”

“One more…” Zhou Qinhe barely spoke two words before the person in front of him had already turned around and left, leaving him with the view of her back that was carefree like the wind.

As much as he had purposefully kept the item till the very last minute, he was still taken aback by the abrupt change in her attitude. He stood at the same spot and watched her till she disappeared in the dark before he finally recollected himself. He still wasn’t sure whether he should be glad that he didn’t give her the bag sooner.

Secretary Lu, who had just witnessed how her boss was left behind by his girlfriend without much thought, quietly rolled the car window back up and pretended that she hadn’t seen a thing.

There were always dangers associated with being a bystander or a melon-eater. She knew that a woman who could score her boss would be no ordinary woman. She hadn’t expected her to be such a beautiful woman yet behaved so strangely. Nor had she expected that Boss Zhou, who had barely run into any setbacks anywhere, seemed to be the one with the shorter end of the stick in this relationship. Judging by the interactions between the two, even if this was not true love, she should probably still view this Miss Yan as half of a boss lady.

She just might take that title one day.

Thinking of that, Secretary Lu dared not to be so nosey anymore. She quickly put back on her iconic solemn look.

Under his subordinates’ deliberate casualness, Boss Zhou walked back into the car like nothing happened and Zhang Yang floored the gas toward the airport.
