The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 229 – Perhaps he felt that this way he had completely blended in with them? (3)

It was the first time for the both of them to bathe with someone else. The two of them sat across from each other and, naturally, their legs touched. The two little kiddos looked at each other back and forth. Suddenly, both of them started to giggle.

The giggling had very much wiped away all of the tension. Zhang Yuanjia was much more relaxed and Zhou Yi’s cheeks were less red. The both of them started to enjoy the bath despite being crammed inside the same tub.

Yan Shuyu had already walked over with a washcloth. The bathroom was filled by the bathtub and she had nowhere to even stand. She could only stand right by the door. As such, little Zhou Yi, who was the closer one to her, was grabbed as she started to scrub him down from head to toe.

Zhou Yi was relaxed after he had giggled and wasn’t too shy when he was grabbed by Aunty Yan even though the temperature in his cheeks had gone up again. By the time Aunty Yan got to his armpits and the bottom of his feet, he was giggling all over again.

Every time he giggled, Zhang Yuanjia would laugh with him. The laughter of the two boys resounded inside of the bathroom. Even Yan Shuyu’s lips couldn’t help but start to curve upward. Her motion was even smoother, and she was done with one child in two minutes.

Pushing the little male lead aside, she said, “Okay, you are done Xiao Yi. Go soak on the side. It’s now Yuanbao’s turn.”

She wasn’t sure whether Zhang Yuanjia was jealous or enjoying the atmosphere when his mother was scrubbing down his little buddy but instead of being his usual efficient self, he was very focused on playing with the bubbles. He eagerly swam toward his mother when he heard his name and was also scrubbed down from head to toe by his mother.

Now that she had been rearing a child for a while, Yan Shuyu started to get the hang of it. She scrubbed the both of them down first then rinse them both at the same time. Once the bubbles were all rinsed off, her job was done and it was much easier to just carry them out that way.

Plus, they both wanted to wear their bath towels, which made it even easier on her part. She dried them, wrapped them in the big bath towel, carried them directly onto bed before she told them, “Don’t run around now that you don’t have slippers on. Call me if you want to get out of the bed, alright?”

“Okay!” the two little kiddos nodded one after the other before they put on their dinosaur hood and started cosplaying like they had wanted to all along.

Yan Shuyu did not wait around for them. She still needed to clean up the bathroom and get herself ready for bed, so she quickly returned to the bathroom.

The truth had proven that with more kids, even a normally well behaved one would become rambunctious.

Yan Shuyu had just pulled the bath tub out, put it away, and tossed the little kiddos’ clothes into the washing machine when she heard them calling out to her.

“Mom, Mom, Mom….”

“Aunty Yan…”

Yan Shuyu, very worried that the neighbors would complain, resorted to walking over to them. “Shhhh. Can you keep your voice level down?”

As such, Zhang Yuanjia leaned in and whispered to her, “Mom, we want to video chat with Uncle Zhou. Can you connect us with him?”

Zhou Yi looked at her with anticipation.

“Video chat with Uncle Zhou?” Yan Shuyu looked at the two cute little things and chuckled. “You two are full of ideas for sure.”

She didn’t turn them down but picked up her cellphone and sent the boss a text via WeChat as she explained to the kids, “Uncle Zhou is at work right now. Let me check with him and see if this is a good time for him first.”

And the two little kids blinked and stared at her…. cellphone, waiting for a reply.
