12:30 am Yan Shuyu was sitting inside an unfamiliar hotel room, blushing.

She was no longer a pure and innocent little flower. Way before she was officially dating the boss, she had already been drooling over the boss's body and technique. How lucky would she be if she could experience that a few more times? So, naturally, she nodded without hesitation at the boss's subtle hint.

The sound from the shower was very suggestive inside the room. Yan Shuyu couldn't help but picture what the boss looked like inside of the shower. How the water was dripping down from his neck down to his abdomen. All of the sudden, her face became even hotter than before. She couldn't stop herself anymore once she thought about the boss's abdomen.

Yan Shuyu suddenly recalled something even more important and leapt up from the couch. The boss had said he'd bring her gift from the trip. So where was this gift? Yan Shuyu squatted in front of the suitcase, drooling.

When Boss Zhou walked out in his bathrobe with his hair wet and saw her in her loser pose, even the very worldly boss was so shocked that he almost broke the sash to the robe. Yet he remained calm outwardly and asked softly, "Yanyan, what are you looking at?"

Yan Shuyu turned around and looked at him with her beaming eyes as she replied to him truthfully, "I am seriously considering whether my gift is in here."

Zhou Qinh, "....."

He walked out feeling resigned. "And, what was your conclusion?"

"That I'll have to ask you. How'd I know?"

Boss Zhou,

Zhou Qinhe, noticing that he was being slightly infected by her, quickly regained his rationality and pulled up the person who was squatting there without a single care to her appearance. He did not tell her where he put the gift that was on her mind but chuckled slightly and said, "You are not sleepy anymore?"

Yan Shuyu looked at the closely shut suitcase, then at the very delectable boss and made the easy decision of picking the latter. The boss had promised her the gift so she'd for sure receive it. It's getting later into the night. Best to start tending to some serious business.

Just like that, she happily chose to pounce onto the boss and push him down. "Of course I am sleeping. Let's turn the lights off!"

Zhou Qinhe, not prepared for that, was pushed onto the bed by her followed by a soft body that stacked onto him.

A pleasant surprise flashed past his eyes, and he wrapped his arm around the body above him in the next second and the two of them rolled on the bed.

The experience was, naturally, beyond words. It was as dreamy as her previous time when she thought she was dreaming, perhaps with even more sparks. Over and over again until she was so exhausted that she just wanted to go straight to bed without taking a shower.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, something occurred to her suddenly. She struggled to sit up. "Yuanbao and Xiao Yi were still home. I need to rush back."

Technically speaking, they never should have left the kids at home by themselves. It was easy to have an accident. That being said, certain things were unavoidable when one was a single mother. Never mind Yan Shuyu, even the original owner had left Zhang Yuanjia home alone frequently when she worked night shifts at the hotel and no accident had ever happened.

That being said, it was always better safe than sorry. Yan Shuyu had completely taken up the role of an old mother and was quite responsible at that. Plus, now that the *ahem* was over, her rationality had returned and Yan Shuyu now anxiously wanted to get home. She didn't even turn and look when she picked up all of her clothes from the floor and put them back on.

Boss Zhou didn't even have a chance to have a cigarette. She left his arms right after doing their business. Watching how she had jumped up with no regret, one could only imagine the defeat and unpleasantness that he was experiencing right now.

As she had already wiped away all the mood to cuddle, Zhou Qinhe only remained silent for a little bit before he got up and turned the light on.

Yan Shuyu turned around and said happily, "Are you going back too? That's great."

She didn't think that much earlier but now that she saw the boss getting up with her, it suddenly dawned on her that she needed a ride back in the boss's car. Things would be much easier if the boss was leaving with her.

Zhou Qinhe was experiencing very complicated emotions right now. He didn't want to talk so he just grunted lowly. Yan Shuyu was so delighted that nothing bothered her right now. She put her clothes on with a smile on her face.

After being busy for a few minutes in the silence, both of them returned to their nicely dressed state as though nothing had happened. Nevertheless, if one was to look careful enough, they would be able to see the added intimacy and lingering feelings in their eyes whenever their eyes met.

At 2 AM, Yan Shuyu walked up to the front desk of the hotel with the boss in her arm to check out. The satisfying look on her immediately turned into shame under the curious look from the girls at the front desk.

Even though she knew that they were an official couple but checking out just two hours after they have checked in made her feel a lot like this was but a friends-with-benefit relationship.

Walking outside of the hotel, Yan Shuyu couldn't help but share her thoughts with the boss.

Even though Zhou Qinhe had already returned to his usual calm self, seeing how familiar she was with this still bothered him. He gave her a deep look and said, "You seemed very experienced in this?"

Yan Shuyu shook her head madly. "Na-ah, I am not."

But her denial was weak. As she had created a very wild persona from herself when she tried to turn the boss down previously...

Under the boss's distrusting look, Yan Shuyu had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. Ah well, what's done was done.

Boss Zhou had already returned to his usual gentlemanly self. He opened up the car door and helped her into the passenger-side seat. Then, he flicked her on her forehead as soon as she said down and chuckled, "Okay, stop frowning already. I was just kidding."

"You were just kidding?" Yan Shuyu looked up at him, pleasantly surprised. "You believe me?"

Boss Zhou didn't respond, but he lowered his head and gave her a kiss. The answer was very obvious. Yan Shuyu felt like spring had blossomed.

***

Zhou Qinhe watched on as Yan Shuyu gently opened up the door and a ray of light spilled out from inside of the house. He asked, worried, "Are they up?"

"I don't think so." Yan Shuyu waited for a few seconds before she shook her head and opened up the door the rest of the way as she explained to him, "I left the foyer light on on purpose when I left. That way even if they wake up in the middle of the night, they wouldn't be scared that it was dark in the house."

She left the light on even though she knew that her son was a sound sleeper and the little male lead was not that much worse than him. Ever since the first day he was over, he adopted quickly and would sleep through the night. He never overslept either and was not a handful at all.

Zhou Qinhe nodded and said gently, "That's very thoughtful of you."

Yan Shuyu smiled with complacency.

The two walked inside of the apartment one after the other and their movements were very gentle. They could hear the breathing from the two little kids in bed. Zhou Qinhe walked over to the bed and saw the two of the two kids sleeping next to each other. The smile on him deepened, and he leaned down and kissed them both.

***

Boss Zhou, unlike Yan Shuyu, who enjoyed sleeping in, had very good self-control. No matter how tired he was, his biological clock would always wake him up at the same time.

Today, however, was a little bit different. Boss Zhou, who had been single for many years, suddenly noticed how "lively" it was around him when he woke up. Not to mention that he had woken up somewhere unfamiliar. It took him a few seconds to recall where he was, and his motion of getting out of bed slowed.

After remaining silent for a little while, Boss Zhou decided to lay back down and close his eyes. When he opened up his eyes again, the situation had changed drastically from before. Two delicate little faces were in front of him with the same silly look on both of them.

"Good morning, Xiao Yi, Yuanbao," said Zhou Qinhe softly. Looking at the two cute faces, even someone as distant as him had softened up a little. He reached out and patted both of them on their heads.

This was Zhou Yi's first time waking up and finding his daddy sleeping next to him. Not to mention that he was snuggled right up next to him. He was very emotional and a bit embarrassed. He hid his face back under the blanket.

While he was busy being shy, his friend, on the other hand, stuck his head over unabashedly and asked softly, "How come you are over at my place, Uncle Zhou?"

"Your mommy invited me, of course."

"But why did Mommy invite Uncle Zhou?" As much as Zhang Yuanjia was a big fan of Uncle Zhou, he still needed to ask this question on principle.

Uncle Zhou wasn't phased at all. Smiling calmly, he said to him, "It was too late to go home last night so I stayed over at Yuanbao's place."

That was a very reasonable excuse. Yet Zhang Yuanjia was a very mature little boy. Partly happy and partly worried, he asked, "But my teacher at school had said that boys and girls are not the same. So why did Mommy invite Uncle Zhou to stay over at our place and even sleep in the same bed as us?"

Zhou Qinhe raised his brows. He hadn't

expected this kid to be that mature at his age.

Even so, he smiled again without a worry and

teased, "Didn't you invite Xiao Yi as well? He's a

boy too."

That wasn't going to work for Zhang Yuanjia. He shook his head seriously and said, "Xiao Yi is still a little buddy. He's not the same as Uncle Zhou."

This kid was not only mature, he was also very logical. Gauging from his intelligent and emotional quotients alone, it was hard to think that he was Yan Shuyu's real child. Thought Boss Zhou to himself in a joking way. He looked at the little boy who was still trying to get to the bottom of this. He used a tone that sounded both like compromising and slightly tempting, "Why does Yuanbao think that is then?"

Zhang Yuanjia, indeed, has an idea in his head, "Is it because Mommy and Uncle Zhou are dating?"

Now Zhou Qinhe was really surprised. Then, his mouth cracked open and he chuckled happily.

Zhang Yuanjia asked again with uncertainty, "Was I right, Uncle Zhou?"

Uncle Zhou only smiled at him and said, "I'm afraid you will have to ask your mother."

When Yan Shuyu woke up, she got to enjoy the same unique service that the boss had received - two little cuties leaning on her, eagerly waiting for her to wake up.

Before Yan Shuyu even had time to appreciate the special moment, her son, with a face full of anticipation had already asked her, "Mommy, are you dating Uncle Zhou right now?"

"Da... dating?"

Zhang Yuanbao explained it to her as though he was an expert in this subject. "That means you are Uncle Zhou's girlfriend."

The little male lead, whose head was right next to Yuanbao's, also nodded silently. He looked like he fully comprehended this subject. Yan Shuyu was even more dumbfounded. As mature as her son was for his age, there was no way that he'd understand the concept of romance. So did the boss say something to them while she was sleeping? Would the boss do such a thing?

"Haha, do you two even know what a girlfriend is?"

Little Zhou Yi was baffled, but her son nodded with experience. "Of course I do. A girlfriend will go to class with me, we'll walk home together, play together. Wanwan, who is new to our school, wants to be my girlfriend but I turned her down. ”

"Um, baby..." Yan Shuyu started to panic. "Do you know what you are talking about? You are going to date before you even start primary school?"

"I turned her down." Zhang Yuanjia stressed that last part before he asked again, "Does that mean I can date in primary school, Mommy?"
