Chapter 280 – “Okay, I will owe you for now.” (3)
Zhou Qinhe quietly omitted the very last thing that she had said and replied, “It’s a black dog. He’s up there in age and the butler usually takes care of it. I worried that it’d be difficult for it to get used to a new environnt so I didn’t bring it over. Besides, you’ve never ntioned that you like dogs.”
Yan Shuyu has always like dogs but she has never had a pet before as she felt that she, too, was still a baby herself. It was difficult enough to support just herself, let along an added pet. Now that she needn’t worry about a thing in her new life and the place was big enough, she was very tempted by the boss’s suggestion. Quickly, she realized that the problem right now wasn’t whether to have a dog but that she wanted to talk to him about taking the two boys out for a vacation.
Rembering her original purpose, Yan Shuyu sat up straight and, with a very complacent look, said, “I haven’t ntioned this yet, but I got paid today. This much…”
She gestured to the boss as she said it and the boss played along and teased her. “Oh, that much huh? So are you going to take us out to dinner?”
Yan Shuyu shook her head and confidently shared her plans. She was short of slapping on her chest and making promises. “Don’t worry. I am very experienced in taking care of kids now. I can totally take care of the both of them.”
Zhou Qinhe had been frowning ever since she had shared her serious idea. It wasn’t so much that she wouldn’t be able to take care of two children by herself though. He answered her question with a question, “So, you were paid and to celebrate, you want to take Yuanbao and Xiao Yi on a trip?”
Yan Shuyu had no idea what the problem was with her statent. She nodded matter-of-factly. “Yah.”
“What about then?”
She said to him thoughtfully, “I know you are busy with work so it must be difficult for you to take ti off. I won’t give you a hard ti so, don’t worry, you can just stay ho and work away.”
Boss Zhou pointed it out bluntly, “So you guys will go out to have fun and leaving behind to work?”
Yan Shuyu, “No, I am not, I didn’t. I am just saying that you don’t need to co along…”
The boss didn’t even need to say another word and Yan Shuyu already realized that no matter what she said, she would not be able to lose the leave-the-primary-breadwinner-at-ho-and-go-out-for-fun label. That did sound quite heartless.
At loss of words, she suddenly asked smartly, “Would you like to co with?”
Boss Zhou gave it so serious thought and asked, “When are we leaving?”
“Either this week or next works, depending on your schedule.” Yan Shuyu was very agreeable as she really didn’t think to ditch the boss and go out to have fun herself. Perhaps if she was to go alone there would still be a chance of a romantic encounter but she was an inspired mother with two children. There would probably be no chance of a romantic encounter.
And if she couldn’t run into so handso little brothers, then having the attractive boss with her would be just as good too.
Happy with her attitude, Zhou Qinhe looked less annoyed. He chuckled and said, “I happen to have a business trip to Northern Europe next week. Why don’t we head over to Finland and Iceland?”
His tone was tender but his voice distinctly authoritative. Yan Shuyu was shocked beyond words. “I thought we were going to an island close by. How did that turn into Northern Europe all of a sudden?”
That was a bit of a stretch, no?
Boss Zhou gave her a smile that wasn’t a smile. “Do you not want to go?”
“I have never been to Northern Europe before. Of course I’d want to go when I have the chance to,” said Yan Shuyu. Finally, she added, “But I don’t have VISA or passport.”
She had heard in the past that VISA to Northern Europe wasn’t easy to get.
Apparently, what she worried about was not a problem to the boss at all. He said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to worry about that. Secretary Lu will take care of that.”
