Chapter 309 – “You are irreplaceable.” (1)

Matter of fact, she was opinionated as far as this was concerned. After all, a perfect boyfriend liked the boss did not come by every day. She didn’t want to break up with him. Marry him and becoming little male lead’s stepmother, on the other hand, was not an option either. It was just a matter of time before she broke up with him. Now that the little male lead’s mother had a change of heart, it would be wrong of her to be hoarding him like she was.

That being said, the boss and the little male lead had been extremely nice to both her and her son. Repaying virtue with grievance was wrong. As such, after a long and drawn-out thought, she finally said in a very altruistic way, “I think you can give it some thoughts. She was, after all, Xiao Yi’s mother. It will be best for the child if the two of you can get back together.”

“Are you saying that if Yuanbao’s daddy shows up, you will get back together with him without any hesitation?” Zhou Qinhe’s lips might still be curved and he might seem pleasant as he talked but, somewhere down the line, his eyes were covered in haze and anyone timid would probably be crying just from the look alone.

Yan Shuyu, on the other hand, was still touched by what a big heart that she had and was completely oblivious to the boss’s look. She waved her hand and said, “Yuanbao’s father is dead. How am I going to get back with him?”

Even if he wasn’t dead, she wouldn’t get back with him. What if he found out that she wasn’t original owner? That certainly would not end well.

She must put her own safety over her instant son’s mental health.

“Are you saying that you will get back together with him if he is still alive?” – Zhou Qinhe almost slipped and asked but he quickly stopped himself. He knew that it was meaningless to try and compete with a dead person; besides, knowing how heartless she normally was, just because she was telling him to get back together with his ex-wife didn’t necessarily mean that she missed her late husband.

That way of thinking, however, did not make him feel completely fine. He had to take a deep breath before he was able to adjust his emotions. Then he said to her calmly, “If it was best for the child, we wouldn’t have gotten a divorce in the first place.”

Yan Shuyu was already curious after meeting the little male lead’s mother today. Now that the boss had brought it up, she asked matter-of-factly, “Oh yeah, so why did you two divorce each other?”

Zhou Qinhe wasn’t surprised at her curiosity. He did, however, casted her glance before he said, “Why did you ask why I married her in the first place?”

Yan Shuyu was completely oblivious to the change in the boss’s mood. Still smiling heartlessly, she said, “Well, I’d love to hear it if you want to share.”

Zhou Qinhe, “… …”

Boss Zhou finally put down his tie, sat down on the couch, waved at her and looked like he was ready for a long talk. Yan Shuyu quickly pitter-pattered over, sat down next to him, and made like she was ready for whatever he cared to share.

“There wasn’t much of a story there. Grandfather Lin had helped out our family when I was still a kid so there were talked that her and I should marry when we grow up. Later on, Grandfather Lin had passed away as did my parents and all of their final wish was for us to get married. As such, we got married matter-of-factly as soon as Lin Surong graduated college.”

The boss’s voice was calm as though he was telling someone else’s story. Yan Shuyu had initially thought that it was quite a romantic story the two of them knowing each other since childhood but one look at his expressionless face, she decided to keep her mouth shut and keep on listening.

“She was young and she desired love. Me, on the other hand, had just taken over the company less than two years prior to that and had a lot of things to take care of. I had neither the time nor the mood to spend time with her. Slow, over time, we drifted further and further apart from each other…”
