Chapter 92 - Welp! This Is Awkward! (1)

Ever since they stepped foot into Sunshine House, the father and son pair walked quietly and unabashedly towards the table that Yan Shuyu was sitting.

Zhou Qinhe was much better at managing his emotions than his son; his look was what you’d call inscrutable and nobody could tell whether he was angry or happy. Even so, his majestic presence was still very intimidating.

If the little girl servers at Sunshine House didn’t know Zhou Qinhe’s identity and standing, they still might be able to treat him like a regular customer. Except that Yan Shuyu had educated all of them with a full lowdown on Boss Zhou’s background and status, so now the little girls definitely felt intimidated in front of him. This was why Zhou Qinhe’s slightly cold look intimidated Lin Lin, the server in charge of taking care of him, so much that she wouldn’t even dare breath too heavily in front of him, let alone interfere with what he was trying to do. All she could do was to follow weakly behind the father and son like a quail hatchling.

Seeing that Boss Zhou was about to greet Yan-jie, Lin Lin was a little happy about it. It wasn’t because she looked forward to watching any drama, but that as far as she and the other colleagues were concerned, Yan-jie’s ex-boyfriend, Boss Zhou, truly has some curious feelings toward her.

As much as Yan-jie had vowed to them that Boss Zhou did not have any special interest in her and her reasonings were sound, at the same time, Boss Zhou’s behaviors were there for all to see. Sunshine House had already been in existence for years now. Even before Yan-jie had joined them, it was already somewhat well-known on the internet. So why had they never had customers like Boss Zou all these years? And why was it that every since Yan-jie had started, Boss Zhou, who she was slightly associated with, has also suddenly became a regular patron?

Yan Shuyu seemed to strongly resent them putting the two of them together. Every time someone said something about the two of them, Yan Shuyu would explain in great detail why there was nothing between them. A few times later, even if Yan Shuyu wasn’t tired of that yet, her little buddies were worn down. Over time, they had all stopped putting the two of them together. But every time after Boss Zhou had visited, they’d gossip about that behind her back for a while.

Basically Lin Lin’s opinion was the same as everybody else’s. Even if Boss Zhou wasn’t head over heels crazy about Yan-jie, he wasn’t exactly behaving like your everyday suitor. But, for a CEO who had so many issues to take care of on a daily basis to come here once every 1-2 weeks and didn’t seem to be that crazy over the food and beverage of the shop, he’d always chat a little with Yan-jie. It was more likely than not he was here for Yan-jie.

She trusted that even CEOs didn’t run into women as pretty as Yan-jie every day of the year and everybody liked pretty things. He may not necessarily want her for himself, but he could at least come and admire her.

All in all, as much as the little buddies didn’t verbalize anything, they have already assumed Yan Shuyu and Zhou Qinhe were a “couple” in their mind. So when Lin Lin saw the not-so-happy Zhou Qinhe walking straight toward Yan Shuyu, she felt relieved. She figured since Boss Zhou was fond of Yan-jie, he would most likely be happier after he had chatted with her, so she wouldn’t have to worry anymore.
