Chapter 322   – Yan Shuyu was stupefied; was the boss touched by the scene as well? (1)

From the way that Ye Rongchen was looking at her, Yan Shuyu had figured that he had regained his memories. Had he not regained his memories and was looking for her out of responsibilities, he would look the same as her and both of them would feel nothing other than awkwardness. Nevertheless, the way that he was looking at her was very complicated. It was a mix of many different emotions; anything but awkwardness.

Truth was, Yan Shuyu knew that it wasn’t easy to be him. He had sustained severe injuries and, had he not been saved by his family just in time and provided him with the best treatment that money could buy, he probably would have died young. Now that he had finally recovered and started out his new life and, just when he was about to bring back his wife and child and they could, once again, be their happy family of three, his son’s mother had been swapped on the inside and barely knew him anymore.

As much as she felt bad for him, she still had to face reality. Ever since the moment that she had saw her child’s father, she never considered the possibility between the two of them The original owner’s man was not her man and the woman who had been on Ye Rongchen’s mind was not her either.

Yan Shuyu decisively determined that she would just rip the band-aid off. With Ye Rongchen looking at her intently, she said, “Um, if you can find the musical institution, I take it that you are aware of our current situation as well? I… I am engaged.”

Yan Shuyu figured that the Ye family was no ordinary family so they should know about her and the boss. Even so, she decided to exaggerate it a little to nip any possibility off at the bud. Only she and the boss knew that the proposal didn’t count. From an outsider’s perspective, the two of them were about to get hitched soon.

Ye Rongchen’s face turned colors but he was not surprised. He tried his best to curve his lips upward but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. “I know…”

Before he was even done saying that, the door to the break room swung opened all of a sudden. Speaking of the devil. Boss Zhou, the center of the discussion, stood by the door and stared at the both of them. Staring mainly at Ye Rongchen, to be precise.

After knowing him for so long, this was the first time that Yan Shuyu saw such obvious emotions on him. She wasn’t sure whether it was a figment of her imagination, but there seemed to be a hint of nervousness on him as well?

He was here so abruptly and his reaction so strong that Yan Shuyu was truly startled. There was even an odd sense that she was caught red-handed while cheating. She stood up quickly and said, “Oh, what are you doing here? This, this is Yuanbao’s father. We all thought he had an accident. As it turned out, he had recovered. Haha…”Perhaps being called back by her voice, Zhou Qinhe finally stopped staring at Ye Rongchen intensely and returned to his usual calm self. He casually walked over to Yan Shuyu and said nonchalantly, “I was done with work and thought I’d come by to pick you up so we can spend some time with the kids.”

Yan Shuyu continued to laugh. “Oh, what a coincidence.”

She didn’t really question what the boss was saying. As much as he was a workaholic, but he was the CEO after all and he defined his own work hours. He could always get off earlier when he was done with his work. A day like today didn’t happen very often, but it had happened before.

It was just the awkwardness right now.

The boss and Yuanbao’s father seemed to be natural enemies of each other. The gentle and polite boss talked to only to her and refused to even look over at Ye Rongchen’s direction. Ye Rongchen, on the other hand, only looked at her intensely and didn’t seem to want to engage with the boss either.

Yan Shuyu had not expected the two grown men to behave that way. Being someone who was never excelled in social situations, Yan Shuyu didn’t know what to do or how to introduce the two of them being stuck between them.
