Yan Shuyu was only bold in the dark. She still had a pretty good idea that they looked pretty obscene to a bystander. As soon as they walked into the area lit from the streetlights, she scrambled off of the boss. The boss didn't say much but wrapped his arm around her, and the two walked inside of the elevator intimately.

If she was to ignore the plotline of the novel, the boss was acting quite like a loving father. He just got home from a business trip and hadn't even washed up yet before he went into the kids' room to check on the two kids. Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi had already fallen asleep with their heads pressed together and their little stomachs rising and falling rhythmically. Boss Zhou couldn't help but smile. "They are sleeping so soundly. This is the first time that Yuanbao is not sleeping with you, right? He has adapted well."

That was when Yan Shuyu was reminded that while she was immersed in the joy of living in a luxurious house, she had forgotten that it was her son's very first time having his own room and whether he'd be afraid. No wonder he was so clingy last night.

She felt relieved that she did not turn down their request to sleep with her last night. Looking again at her instant son who was sound asleep, she had a moment of weakness. "Should we bring them over to sleep with us?"

She worried that he'd wake up and be frightened when he noticed that mommy wasn't in the room with him.

The boss didn't respond to her. He only leaned over, straightened out the blanket for his son, gave him a goodnight kiss, and also gave one to her son to be fair before he stood back up, turned the light off, and walked out with Yan Shuyu. "Yuanbao is a big boy now. He should start learning to be more independent."

It was just the heat of the moment thing for Yan Shuyu. Once she walked outside, she had regained her rationality. Looking at the boss's handsome face, she thought to herself; son, I hope you'd understand, mommy is an adult and should have her nightlife as well~

Yan Shuyu and the boss exchanged a look with tacit understanding, smiled, and took their matters into their bedroom.

With the new environment and new mood, Yan Shuyu couldn't help but be a little bit excited. The bed in their master bedroom was king size and could easily accommodate several of herself and Boss Zhou rolling around on it. In addition, this was their new house going forward and there was no limitation on time and location. They no longer needed to refrain themselves. As such, Yan Shuyu could experience the night she had transmigrated over all over again.

In fact, so much that when she woke up at noon the next day and rolled onto her side groggily, her body felt all sorts of aches and soreness like it had been run over by a truck. It wasn't unlike the feeling after one had overexercised.

Um, she did kind of overexercised, sort of.

After a short pause, Yan Shuyu finally noticed that there seemed to be a large arm wrapped around her waist. It didn't even move away even after she had rolled over. Startled, she looked up and what she saw was the boss's languid and handsome face.

After dating with him for so long, the boss had always been well dressed in front of her. Even the few times that he had stayed over at her place, he had been sitting up, well-dressed, and working. This was the very first time that Yan Shuyu saw the boss with sleepy eyes and completely relaxed.

Even a mighty boss looked just like a normal man when he was asleep, thought Yan Shuyu to herself. His clothes were messy as well as his hair. Granted, life was never fair and a handsome man did not look disheveled even in this state. His messy hair only made him look even more delicate. His features softened up and he almost resembled his son.

Yan Shuyu studied the boss's face that resembled a sleeping prince. The little male lead's unrivaled delicate look came partly from his father after all. The boss had always seemed so profound and difficult to read that rarely would anyone have the courage to look at him directly, which was how it took her that long to notice that.

The little male lead practiced to be expressionless at his young age in order to downplay his "prettiness". The boss, on the other hand, was even more intimidating when he was smiling at you. Immediately one could tell which one of them was mightier. No wonder the male lead plus the cannon fodder stepbrother together were still no match for their dad.

Yan Shuyu was staring straight at the boss as all the random thoughts went through her mind.

Being stared at by her, Boss Zhou couldn't sleep any more. His eyelashes fluttered a little, and he opened up his eyes slowly. There was a little bit of grogginess in his eyes, but he was mostly awake. His hand moved from his waist to behind her head, and he stroked her lovingly. His voice, lowered deliberately, was languid and sounded particularly sexy. "Yanyan, are you done sleeping?"

"I can nap whenever." Yan Shuyu had already put aside all of her random thoughts as they had been replaced by another thought. All of a sudden, her waist and legs were no longer sore. Looking at the boss with her eyes lit and her head rested on his chest, she asked, "How come you are not yet up and working at this hour?"

The boss had never taken a day off whether there was typhoon, thunderstorm, during national holidays, or on vacations. Even when he didn't go in to work, he'd at least check his email or look through some documents from home. It seemed this emperor had omitted his duties this morning.

Yan Shuyu, being the evil concubine for once, was very emotional.

The boss, naturally, could not possibly guess the crazy thoughts in her head. But being off for half a day, he felt very relaxed both physically and mentally. His arm around her, he said relaxingly, "You didn't go in to work either."

"It's my day off."

"Well, I am off today as well."

Yan Shuyu ignored his explanation and insisted that the emperor had omitted his duties, err, skipped work for her.

That was so lewd! But she liked it! Kekeke~ Basking in that thought for a while, Yan Shuyu snuggled back up with the boss and expressed that she was going to sleep in.

This was also the first time ever that Zhou Qinhe felt that cuddling was worth wasting half of his morning. He had been too tense before and some relaxing wouldn't hurt. As such, even though he wasn't sleepy, he still closed his eyes with Yan Shuyu in his arm.

Nevertheless, the person who claimed she was going to go back to sleep wasn't able to stay still at all. She grabbed and played with his hand. She laid on his chest and counted his heartbeat. Finally, she was so bored that she was competing with him to see who has longer eyelashes.

She had never run into a woman as pretty as her since she had transmigrated but, now, not only did the boss have longer eyelashes than her, his was also denser and curlier. Yan Shuyu was very jealous of it. "You are not even a girl, what's the point of having long eyelashes..."

Before she was done talking, she could hear pitter patter noises made by little kids coming from the hallway. That wasn't surprising. This was already late for the hardworking little boys with very good self-discipline. What Yan Shuyu hadn't expected was that they'd come running over and shouted outside of the door as soon as they got up.

"Mommy, Uncle Zhou, can we come in and play?"

Yan Shuyu and the boss exchanged a look. They both felt helpless but also couldn't not let their sons in. Finally, resigned to her fate, Yan Shuyu said, "C'mon in then. The door's unlocked."

The two little boys broke in the next second and both of them in their fuzzy pajamas. As such, the two boys had no hesitation when they immediately started climbing onto the large bed. And then, there were cheerful giggling from the girl and the two boys.

Boss Zhou, “.... ”

Guess his half day off won't have much to do with romance.

This was Yan Shuyu's first time cohabiting with anyone and she was adjusting well. Mainly because of the people she was cohabiting with. As much as they have simplified as much as they could, it was still a big upgrade in quality of life for Yan Shuyu.

Before she had transmigrated, Yan Shuyu was already a little princess who couldn't tell vegetables apart at home, but that was nothing compared to how "pampered" she was right now. Afterall, her mother did not cook as good as the boss's domestic help. Her mom would also boss her around to mop the floor or hang the clothes up to dry when she was in a bad mood. In the Zhou's, on the other hand, the domestic help would make her anything that she desired to eat or fetch her whatever she wanted. They would not turn down her requests and complain that she was lazy and useless.

The boss even said that there were plenty of rooms in the house and if she liked, the domestic helpers could stay there and wait on them 24/7. Meaning, she would be able to eat in the middle of the night she wanted. The idea was fantastic.

Yan Shuyu finally resisted the temptation and declined the offer so as not to let herself fall too deep into this trap.

Had Yan Shuyu wanted to marry into the prominent family like the original owner did, for sure she'd have pretended to be tender, virtuous, and a girl who'd make a good wife. Preferably, she was perfect and the boss would not be able to find any fault with her.

Problem was, she did not want to marry the boss. As such, she has no need to pretend and could just comfortably be her own self.

As such, Yan Shuyu got used to the lifestyle of the wealthy, errr, of cohabitation.

Apparently, the boss's ability to adapt was way above that of Yan Shuyu. He had no qualms about using her as a chauffeur since day one. As the situation of their cohabitation started to settle down, Yan Shuyu, with her relaxing work schedule, had also become the de facto delivery girl when the boss had, on occasion, left some documents at home.

Yan Shuyu's first assignment came when she was watching a television show at home.

Her work was cozy. The musical institution required neither clocking in nor being presence. The instructors were free to leave if they had no classes. Yan Shuyu lived farther away in the past, so she'd wait around for her son to get off. She no longer needed to do that, so she'd wait at home while she played video games or watched television.

Surely, she had a lot of free time, but she hadn't expected assignments like that from the boss. She was dazed for a while there. "Me... bring the documents over to you?"

The boss did not acknowledge her question. "Are you busy right now?"

Yan Shuyu put down the sunflower seeds in her hand and explained weakly, "Yeah, but I have never been to your office before. Can you have Secretary Lu or someone else come and pick them up instead?"

"They are all busy. You'll have to make a trip. I'll send you the location via WeChat. Just follow the GPS. It's not that far away." The boss left no room for her to object. He even added tenderly at the end. "It's not that urgent. Take your time. Your safety is more important."

Yan Shuyu felt better when she heard the last thing that he said. At least she was more important than the document in the boss's eyes. Otherwise, she just might need to throw a fit.

Granted, she figured it out quickly that the boss was for sure surrounded by more than enough workers. He only insisted on her delivering the document because she was there and the most time-consuming way to have it done.

That was to show that her status wasn't all that high after all. =.=

Yan Shuyu accepted the assignment nevertheless.
