《Male Lead's Villainess Stepmother》Chapter 85 "Yanyan, you are famed!!"
Advertisement
She had almost forgotten that the boss has a very competent and capable Secretary Lu. Yan Shuyu let out a sigh of relief and put her worries asides. Nevertheless, she quickly thought about something else and raised her hand weakly, "I have one more question."
Boss Zhou raised his brows casually and said, "Speak."
"What's the level of expenditure like over there? I worry that I won't be able to afford it."
Zhou Qinhe chuckled, put his arm around her shoulder, sat down and said to her gently, "Going to Europe is my idea. I will pay for the trip, okay?
Yan Shuyu really wanted to nodded. One should always live within one's means. With her means, she could treat everyone to a domestic trip and have a lot of fun. But when it comes to overseas, especially visiting somewhere like Europe, naturally what she made wouldn't be remotely enough for that. Neither were the boss and the little male lead the type who could do budgeted travel. The boss was the one who brought up the idea; she really didn't need to pretend that she could afford it.
That being said. A person shall not be that shameless. She should still put up a nice front. She said to him very seriously, "But I haven't done anything nice to you after I have been paid yet."
That was not a problem for the boss at all. He smiled and said, "That can wait till we come back from our vacation, hmm?"
Yan Shuyu liked the suggestion as well. That way she could at least repay him some. She nodded happily, "Okay. I owe you for now."
***
Once again, the boss's very capable Secretary Su handed Yan Shuyu she and her son's VISA and IDs. She didn't have to worry about a thing.
Yan Shuyu, after receiving her VISA, did not waste anything. She immediately started packing with the kids.
She had been transmigrated over for over six months and had been to the airport countless times dropping off and picking up the boss. One could imagine how she felt when she could actually travel with the boss this time. She started packing days ahead of time and, at the same time, did not forget to tell all her close friends like Manager Yang, Liu Cui, and Instructor Lin that she wouldn't mind bringing anything back for them that they might need.
Yan Shuyu only packed for herself and the kiddos. She figured that the boss was a mature adult and she never had to worry about packing for him when he went on his business trips in the past (they also weren't living together at the time so she wouldn't have been able to even if she had wanted), so there was no reason why she'd need to worry about packing for him.
By now, Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi found out that they would be going on a trip as well. The little kiddos were eagerly anticipating for the day to come but they did not slack on their studying. In fact, they still spent an hour practicing their piano and only when they finished before they went to help Yan Shuyu.
Boss Zhou stayed inside his study and worked this entire time. It seemed to be very busy and only came back out after 9 PM.
The kids would normally already be in bed by now but when Boss Zhou opened up the door to the study, he immediately heard the two crisp voices from the two kids, his own child and Yuanbao. And their voices came not from their own bedroom, but the master bedroom.

Curiously, Zhou Qinhe walked slowly over to the bedroom.
The door to the bedroom was wide opened right now and the spacious room was now occupied by a few suitcases. Zhou Qinhe only stopped at the door for less than a second before he walked inside and asked them purposefully, "What are you guys doing?"
The two little kids, each with their own clothes in their arms, looked up and said, "Packing up for our trip!"
Zhou Qinhe looked at the one large and two small suitcases on the ground and asked Yan Shuyu with a smile, "Yanyan, where's mine?"
Looking at the pile of clothes on the couch gave Yan Shuyu a headache. In the past, she had not enough clothes. Ever since she had moved in with the boss, she had so much clothes that she learned what was called a sweet burden. The boss had filled their closets with clothes before she even moved in. And, not only that. When Secretary Lu came over a few days ago bringing with her the boss's clothes for the new season, she also brought Yan Shuyu hers and the children's.
There were only a few brands that was up to the boss's standard. Just their designs and their price tags alone were enough for Yan Shuyu to want to worship them. She liked each and every single one of them.
Now that they were going on a trip, Yan Shuyu was having a hard time deciding which ones to bring with. When she heard the boss's voice while she was deep in her thought, she reflexively said to him, "Your suitcase is inside the closet."
Zhou Qinhe: ".. "
After a second of silence, he returned to his normal calm self. Walking over to Yan Shuyu, he said softly to her, "What I meant was, isn't Yanyan going to pack for me too?"
Yan Shuyu looked up and was about to say something when the little male lead, who had been with the outgoing Yan Shuyu and her instant son for a while now and was no longer as quiet as he used to be, suddenly said to his father loudly and clearly, "Dad, you should pack your own clothes!"
"Xiao Yi is exactly right." Yan Shuyu generously gave him a thumbs up. The little young master stuck his chest out with the compliment and returned to taking care of his own task. Unfortunately, a nicely ironed shirt was rubbed into a ball under his hard work.
The boss just pretended that he didn't see that and, naturally, Yan Shuyu would not interrupt little kiddo who was hard at work either. As such, the two brothers thought they were doing a great job and carried on with what they were doing.
Zhou Qinhe gave Yan Shuyu another look and said slowly, "Since we will be out of the country for a few days, I have a lot to take care of before our trip. I might not have the time for anything else. Why don't you pack for me as well?"
Now Yan Shuyu got it. So all this talk was because he wanted her to pack for him. What was the big deal about it anyway? He could have just said it out loud. There really was no need to make it sound like such a serious matter.
She didn't have too much problem with servicing the boss. She only agreed with the little male lead to see if she could get away with it. She didn't really object to helping out the boss if that was what he had wanted. It'd double as a gesture of appreciation for treating them to an oversea trip. Besides, the boss had already forced her to learn how to tie ties. No way this could be more difficult.

Knowing that the boss was a very particular person, Yan Shuyu added wisely before she agreed to it, "I can pack for you but I don't know what you want to wear. Just don't blame me if I brought the wrong stuff."
The boss smiled nonchalantly. "Of course you will be the one who make the calls on what I will be wearing."
"Really?" Well, that she liked. Now Yan Shuyu's interest was piqued. "Does that mean you would even agree to putting on that red tie?"
The red tie was her Christmas gift to the boss and what had prompted the boss to force her to learn how to tie a tie. Unfortunately, that was not a skill that she could utilize herself. The only one who could benefit from it was the boss.
The boss was handsome and has good temperament. He could go with many different styles but anyone who half a brain could tell that red didn't really go with his classy and elegant style. That didn't seem to bother the boss, the recipient of the gift. The red tie was the one he had on when he went shopping with Yan Shuyu on Christmas day. He didn't seem to mind being a little more high-profile than he normally preferred.
Yan Shuyu had further noticed that even though the boss had brought the red tie with him over here and even placed it somewhere easily seen but he didn't use it very often and definitely never on a workday. As such, Yan Shuyu figured out that the boss was very particular about what he wore to work versus casually.
They were going to on a vacation this time but the boss was going on a business trip and naturally would be attending many formal events. Yan Shuyu didn't think the boss would want the tie but, to her surprise, he nodded. “If you like me to, why not?"
That was permission for her to do as she pleased? Yan Shuyu's eyes beamed right away. Dressing up dolls when she was a child and she got to dress up the boss as an adult? How interesting was that? She patted her own chest confidently and said, "No problem. You can count on me."
After two more days of packing, the day of departure had finally arrived. The four of them with their four suitcases left for the airport in a very grand manner. Naturally, more people would be joining them at their airport. Yan Shuyu was expecting that. The boss for sure would not be going on a business trip alone. There would at least be a secretary or an assistant of sort. But when she met the team, she was still surprised. In addition to both Secretary Lu and Louis, there were also a few other individuals obviously belonging to upper management. When they were introduced, they were all directors or above.
After their friendly introduction, it was time to board. Even Yan Shuyu, who never cared about the boss's work at all, had learned from their conversations that the boss was invited by some Northern European country this time to talk about some government-led projects. It'd seem that the president intended to meet up with the boss in person.
It sounded so Tall, Big, and High Class that Yan Shuyu was stunned speechless. Ignoring the curious look coming from all the others, she whispered into the boss's year, "Are you sure it is okay to have us with you? This sound like very serious matter."
A smiled crossed the boss's eyes. He noticed that the look from the others became more passionate but he pretended that he didn't notice any of it. He played along with Yan Shuyu and also whispered into her ear, "It's fine. It only looks very solemn. We are mainly here to observe this time. It's really not that serious."
Yan Shuyu had no understanding of the business world and the boss was able to calm her with just a few words. She was, nevertheless, still very emotionally from hearing about the Northern European government. She had been a peasant in both of her lives and never thought she would have anything to do with someone like that. So, again, she asked carefully, "Still... it doesn't seem like a good idea..."
Looking at her being intimidated, the boss only had one thing to say, "I've already arranged for a chauffeur and a translator. You sure you don't want to go?"
"Of course I do!" Yan Shuyu paused for a second and announced very decisively. "We will entertain ourselves. You focus on your work. Don't let us distract you."
Boss Zhou just smiled at her comment.
Through the 10 hours of flight, the boss did not chat much. He still had work from his laptop. Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, spent most of her energy on wooing the kids. They were not naughty children by any stretch of imagination but it was their first time travelling overseas with their loved ones so it was inevitable that they overly excited and had a lot of questions for Yan Shuyu.
Yan Shuyu was bombarded by the little kids until, finally, when the boss was done with his work, he took both kids from her, smiled and said to them, "Okay, you two, let Mommy rest for a little while. What say I play with you two?"
Naturally Zhang Yuanbao and little young master did not object to that and immediately focused their energetic selves onto the boss.
Sitting next to Boss Zhou was Louis and a director with the surname Wang. Watching the scene unfolded, the two exchanged a look with each other secretly and both smiled at the same time.
Yan Shuyu had no idea what had transpired. She did not noticed how heads had turned when she whispered into the boss's ear when they first got onto the plane nor did she notice that everybody else was no longer phased when the boss checked into the hotel with the two sound asleep kids in his arms.
But she had stopped worrying after she had been assured by the boss. Once they have arrived in the world-renowned city Copenhagen, they immediately went out to tour the city. The three of them had so much fun they didn't even want to go back to the hotel at night. Boss Zhou, who had been busy with work, would accompany them to sightsee when opportunities allowed and raiding the boats at night together was wonderful.
They have traversed three countries in the course of five days and all of them unique in their own ways. Yan Shuyu had so much fun that she finally had time to sort out her loots on the very last night. Out of the blue, she received a text from her little buddy, "Yanyan, you are famed!!"
The text was so random that Yan Shuyu was, naturally, baffled. "What the heck?"
"On Weibo." Manager Yang seemed to be too emotional to even type. He sent her a voice message directly and his tone was a whole octave higher than normal. "Someone posted a video of you playing the piano at our shop and it went on the most trending list. All the netizens are raving about your good look and even our shop is now famed!"
