Chapter 121 – The Burden of Being A Goddess Is Starting To Weight Down On Her (3)
While Yan Shuyu was still struggling for words, she heard a “CLACK”, and then there was light. It was little kiddo Zhang Yuanbao who after helping his mother in opening the door, ran over and turned the light on like a good host. He then stood next to the door and said cheerfully, “Mom, Uncle Zhou, c’mon in already.”
“Oh, change out of your shoes first, darling.” Yan Shuyu quickly reminded him. Weekly mopping was a difficult task.
The little kiddo nodded in a cooperative manner and said, “Okay!”
He imdiately bent down with one hand on the wall and swiftly removed his shoes and changed into his fuzzy little slippers. He didn’t even forget to put the shoes that he had taken off back onto the shelf neatly. Taking a few steps back, he blinked his large eyes at the adults and announced, “Okay, I am all done changing.”
It was certainly a good thing that her son was so good at taking care of himself. But after he was all done, Yan Shuyu gave the boss a troubled look. “Oh, I forgot that we don’t have extra slippers at ho…”
Zhou Qinhe glanced over at the simple, plastic shoe rack nonchalantly. He had already noticed that when the little kiddo was changing out of his shoes. The shoe rack, just like the little tiny apartnt, was quite simple. On it, there were three pairs of won’s shoes and three pairs of kids’ shoes. The constituent of the family was quite obvious.
Even if there were n’s slippers, Zhou Qinhe would never wear them. As a man from a prestigious family and was well taken care of by butlers and servants ever since he was a child, he had never, nor would he ever, consider wearing used shoes that had been worn by soone else before him.
Before he was able to comnt on that, Yan Shuyu had already suggested softly, “Or, perhaps you can wear mine?”
Zhou Qinhe gave her a nonchalant look and said, “Does Manager Yang wear your slippers too when he cos over?”
Yan Shuyu had no idea why the boss would bring up such a random question all of a sudden, but she replied candidly, “Of course not. The first ti Manager Yang visited was the day that I was off. He helped pick Yuanbao up and I wasn’t even ho. He ca in bare feet and has had very good self-awareness ever since then…”
She was hoping that the boss would have the sa level of self-awareness, but she was worried he would find that offensive. Then, she would have no idea what she could possibly say to him. Yan Shuyu also didn’t want to tell him to just walk right on in. After all, mopping was tiring, and she just did it three days ago. She only offered him her slippers because she wasn’t able to co up with any other ideas.
She wasn’t sure whether Zhou Qinhe got her subtle hint or that he understood her struggle. He quickly lifted his brows and gave her a free and at ease smile, “Then I won’t need slippers either.”
Having said that, he bent over and took off his shoes. The shoe rack was already full, and Zhou Qinhe casually placed his shoes on the side of the rack and walked onto the floor in his socks. He looked down at the little kiddo standing next to him and asked, “Yuanbao, where can I go to wash my hands?”
The bathroom was right behind him, but Zhang Yuanjia happily held his hand and said to him, “I’ll take you there.”
That’s wonderful – right now, Yan Shuyu didn’t have the ti to worry about how close her son was to Uncle Zhou nor how pleasant it was for the boss to be in her apartnt. Right at this mont, she just felt a great sense of relief. Her problem of the century – how to get the boss to voluntarily take his shoes off – had been resolved.
