Chapter 245   – Is Mommy swindling Uncle Zhou’s emotions? (1)

“Of course not,” said Yan Shuyu with a very solemn look. This was the first time she had spoken like a true parent. “No dating when you are still going to school. Maybe… maybe when you go to college.”

Zhang Yuanjia nodded in agreement to her statement then switched the subject back. “So Mommy hasn’t answered our question yet. Are you and Uncle Zhou dating right now?”

“Um… yes.” The little kiddos’ sparkling eyes made Yan Shuyu feel a little bit embarrassed.

Yan Shuyu, with all of her attention on the little kiddos, did not notice that Boss Zhou, who was seemingly very focused on his work on his laptop, also looked up and gave her a look of surprise. He didn’t think she’d admit to it with such alacrity. After glancing over at her, Boss Zhou looked back down to his emails. It didn’t seem like he cared much about it, but the rising of the corners of his mouth had already betrayed his emotions.

Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were every bit as happy as Zhou Qinhe. They cheered openly and threw themselves into Yan Shuyu’s arms.

“Awesome!” The kids were excited and the next thing out of Zhang Yuanjia was shocking. “That means that Uncle Zhou will be my daddy in the future and Mommy will be Xiao Yi’s mommy, right?”

Hearing her son’s question, Yan Shuyu stiffened up a bit. She almost tossed the kids out. Her face straight, she asked, “Why.. why do you think that?”

Zhang Yuanjia was still immersed in his own fantasy right now. His eyes curved, he said, “Mommy and Uncle Zhou are dating, so you will get married in the future. Then Uncle Zhou will become my daddy and Mommy will become Xiao Yi’s mommy. Isn’t that how it works?”Zhou Yi didn’t say anything, but he was nodding vigorously to one side and it was obvious that he was equally excited to have Aunty Yan as his mommy.

Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was about to start crying from the kids’ imagination. She would not become the little male lead’s stepmother, so she had no choice but to try to reason with them. “Well, dating doesn’t necessarily mean we will get married, darlings.”

She had barely started talking when she was stopped by her own son. Zhang Yuanbao, distressed, pulled his head out of her arms and asked with his head cocked, “But Wanwan said those who only want to date but not get married are swindlers. Is Mommy swindling Uncle Zhou’s emotions?”

Yan Shuyu thought she could puke out blood right about now. What did it mean she was swindling Uncle Zhou’s emotions? At most they were swindling each other’s emotions. Zhou Qinhe was no innocent little white flower. How could he be swindled?

Yet, her son looked down and the little male lead, leaning on her shoulder, looked listless. Both of them looked like they were crushed by her saying that she would not be marrying Boss Zhou. Feeling somewhat guilty, Yan Shuyu said softly, “Mommy is seriously dating Boss Zhou. It’s just that dating and getting married are two different things. You shouldn’t have the two confused.”

Never mind about Zhang Yuanjia, not even little Zhou Yi fell for that one. The little male lead looked up at Yan Shuyu and asked point blank, “Then will Aunty Yan be marrying Daddy?”

Yan Shuyu, “……”

Aunty Yan was very confused right now and needed some time to sort out what was on her mind. How was a child with his golden finger so difficult to fool?

The pair of kiddos were still looking at her with their eyes that were filled with their desires to be educated. Yan Shuyu had no choice but to focus on fielding their questions. “Getting married will be something that’s way into the future. We don’t really know that right now. Right now we are just dating.”

“Why is it that getting married is something in the future?”

“Because once we made the decision to get married, we will all be living together, for the rest of our lives and that could be tens of years. We will never be apart again. So we will need a lot of time to observe before we make that decision.”
