Zhao Youlin deliberately avoided rush hour so her arrival would not affect business operations and came at a time when there were not many customers at the outlet.
Joy had rarely come into contact with many strangers when she was in the Zhao family. When a group of strangers surrounded him, he could not help but get nervous and bury himself into Zhao Youlin's arms.
Zhao Youlin smiled thinly and patted Joy's little butt. He said, "He's my son, Joy."
"Boss, is he your son ?!" The girls locked gazes at each other. A glimpse of surprise caught in their eyes.
Most of the girls were students. Although An Qi and An Yue had never attended college, they were already in their early twenties. Relatively, Zhao Youlin might even be several years younger than them. However, their female boss who looked younger than them actually said that this four-year-old was actually her child! How could they not be surprised?
"Why? You guys don't believe that I have a son?” Seeing his staff so astonished, he couldn't help but tease them.
Only then did the girls wake up from their daze. They said shyly, “We were a little surprised to see that you already have a son as old as him when you actually look so young.”
Zhao Youlin smiled and did not take their words to heart. After all, it was a fact that the original owner already had a child at a very young age. Therefore, there was nothing to hide from them.
“Joy, they are my staff at the cake shop. The two here were Sister An Qi and Sister An Yue. All your favorite cakes are baked by them. There were Sister Shuangshuang, Sister Wenli and Sister Xinyi. They are the ones who prepared the delicious fruit juice I brought you last time.”
At first, Joy was a little nervous. However, when Zhao Youlin mentioned that these people were the ones who had prepared the delicious food and drinks that she had been waiting for each time, she said, he overcame his embarrassment and gasped down from Zhao Youlin's shoulder. He looked at them with his clear and bright eyes and greeted them obediently, “Saudari An Qi, Sister An Yue, Sister Shuangshuang, Sister Wenli and Sister Xinyi.”
Their maternal affection grew from their hearts as soon as the girls were greeted by the child's soft and cute voice. If not for Zhao Youlin standing beside him, they would have caught the boy and kissed him big and fat.
After Joy greeted them, she turned around and held onto Zhao Youlin pitifully. He said in a crisp voice, "Mom, I'm hungry."
As soon as the girls heard his words, they immediately became attentive and all started asking at once, “Joy, are you hungry? I just finished baking cupcakes. They're still very fresh. Do you want to eat?"
Joy's eyes sparkled, and she hurriedly nodded, "Mhm, mhm ..."
“Joy, I also just finished baking strawberry cake and mango flavor. They smell really good. Do you want to eat?"
Joy's eyes wrinkled into a crescent shape and continued to nod, “Mhm, mhm.
“Kue alone is too dry. Joy, I'll prepare a glass of fruit juice for you. What flavor do you want?”
Joy clenched her fists and held onto her small chin. He pondered for a moment before he struggled to say the words, "I want the last I have .. which I had the last time ..."
Seeing that Joy failed to say the right words even after some time while looking so anxious that her face swelled up, Zhao Youlin felt amused and replied on her behalf, "Snow pear juice we had last time, but less sugar."
"good. Will be here soon. Joy, please wait a minute.”
'I wonder if I should say you're smart, or should I say, like father, like son? How can you leverage your position to gain comfort for yourself? I really…'
Even though Zhao Youlin sighed, she felt elated over the fact that she had a very smart son!
The girls were very efficient with their work. Soon, various desserts typical of the outlet were presented in front of Joy.
Joy stared wide-eyed at the various desserts. Then, he turned his head and shouted at Zhao Youlin, "Mom ..."
Joy's tone of voice brought a little affection. He reached out, stroked her head and said, “They have prepared food and drink for you. So, what do you have to say?”
After hearing this, Joy's clear and bright eyes sparkled. He looked up and said to the girls politely, "Thank you to all of you."
The girls were instantly fascinated by him. The only thing on their minds was, 'It would be a good move if I had a child as cute as him in the future!'
When he saw his son licking with the girls, Zhao Youlin took a sip of the hot cup of coffee that had just been served with the meal. After they had joked enough, only then did he declare his intention to come.
“Joy will start his Kindergarten soon. This kindergarten is located two streets in front of this outlet. A little far from my workplace. In the future, if Joy faces any problems, please help me take care of her.”
Right after Zhao Youlin spoke, the girls immediately gave their words and expressed their willingness that she could look for them for anything. They would not find it troublesome at all.
Looking cute is also a blessing. At least people will adore you.
While Zhao Youlin was chatting with the girls about the current state of affairs at the outlet, she suddenly looked and set her eyes on a man at the side, "Who is she ...?"
"ah! I almost forgot." An Qi looked towards the direction where Zhao Youlin was looking at. After clearly seeing the person Zhao Youlin was referring to, An Qi could not help but exclaim, “Sister Zhao, he is a servant who has just joined us not too long ago. We haven't been able to find you for the past few days. So, we allow him to stay at the outlet first and wait for your final decision if you want him to stay.”
Suddenly, An Qi leaned closer to Zhao Youlin's ear and whispered awkwardly, “Sister Zhao, to be honest, An Yue picked up this man from the outside a few days ago. We feel sorry for him. Because Xiao Wei has to take the final exam, and we are short on male staff. So, we thought about.. Big Brother Zhao, if you don't want him to stay, we will figure out a way to get rid of him.”.
"Lifting it from the outside?" Zhao Youlin froze. He could not help but turn around and glance at the stranger.
He is a very tall man. With a cursory glance, the man's height was over 180cm. Even though he was tall, he did not look too strong. In fact, he was tall and slender.
The man was wearing a special hat for the outlet staff. Therefore, it covered most of his face and he could not see his appearance clearly.
He seemed to be aware that Zhao Youlin was catching him. While she initially lowered her head and swept the floor in the men's bathroom, she suddenly looked up. His sharp and deep eyes inadvertently met Zhao Youlin's eyes.
Zhao Youulin's heart clenched, 'I'm afraid this man .. doesn't look as simple as it looks!'
