Chapter 43 – The Iceberg Male Lead Was a Cutiepie (1)
The second time Zhou Qinhe visited Sunshine House was also an afternoon, but this time it was the weekend and the shop was busier than usual. Yan Shuyu couldn’t slack off in the back, so she was able to spot the father and son right away.
The male lead did not look too much like his father. In the novel, the male lead was the type of icy boss most commonly seen in all boss novels. His father, on the other hand, was your everyday wolf in sheep’s clothing, always giving others the false impression of being a friendly person. Which was why when compared with the always expressionless and heartless male lead, the gentle and refined villainous stepbrother was more similar to Zhou Qinhe. In the male lead’s memory, it was not uncommon when others mistaken the stepbrother as him.
Seeing the closeness between doting father Zhou Qinhe and his loving stepson Zhou Yuanjia together, many others started speculating that Zhou Yuanjia was Zhou Qinhe’s bastard child and his mother was so resourceful to have him become a “Zhou’s” in a whole different way. This was also when after he had grown up and the villainous stepbrother was competing with the male lead to be the heir, many people even put their money on the villainous stepbrother.
Yan Shuyu, who had read the book, was already prepared for this. Looking at the expressionless little boy standing next to the Boss, she was a little surprised, but she was also able to think rationally at the same time: this must be the legendary male lead.
The first time meeting the male lead, who would eventually send her to jail, Yan Shuyu was neither nervous or emotional. She was emotionally stable. She even wanted to bust out laughing, in fact. His 3-feet tall body was prettier than she had expected.
Certainly, her own instant son was quite pretty as well, but not so much like his mother with unrivaled beauty. For whatever unknown reason, he looked more like her in her previous life. Yan Shuyu was a pretty woman in her previous life as well, little kiddo Zhang Yuanjia, who potentially had her genes was still a pretty thing.
But Zhang Yuanjia was a pretty boy in a refined and delicate way. On the other hand, the male lead was above gender restrictions. His delicate little face, his limpid big eyes, and his bright red lips made him looked more like a girl than a boy. Even when he had on a suit and tie and his face was expressionless, he still looked like a girl in a boy’s outfit.
She had not expected the legendary iceberg boss would look like this when he was a child; no wonder he started to become expressionless at such a young age. That might be the only way he could avoid creepy uncles and aunties that teased him because he looked like Lolita.
Yan Shuyu wanted very much to laugh out loud to express her excitement for witnessing this.
But when she thought about it some more, the pair of well-dressed father and son standing nearby were her future “husband” and her future “archnemesis”. This encounter was sort of awkward, even more so than running into boss and his date a few days ago. Instead of standing there and laughing at the little male lead, she should figure out how to get out of the situation as soon as possible!
Once she arrived at that conclusion, she immediately turned around and wanted to dash, but as luck would have it, Zhou Qinhe had already spotted her
In a very friendly tone, Boss called out to her, “Miss Yan…”
Yan Shuyu shuddered and stopped in her tracks. She realized the difference between Zhou Qinhe and the other customers – the other customers didn’t know her name, she could easily slip away, but this boss man could call out her name any minute.
Once he had called out her name, all her colleagues at the restaurant came to see what was going on. These young people loved gossiping and also had a very active imagination. They could create stories after stories just from their imaginations, let alone when there were indeed some backstory here.
