Chapter 259 – It’s not easy to be a stepmother; being a stepfather is no better. (2)
As they were talking, the door was pushed open and someone walked inside. “Are you hiring here?”
Shu Yan looked up at her. She was a very pretty woman with a shapely body. When Shu Yan walked closer to her, she also noticed her charming look and her sexiness. Contrarily, she had a shy look on her and her seemed pure.
Shu Yan had her filled out an application. Glancing over at it, the girl was a college graduate.
“I see that you put on here that you are a college graduate. You should have a job, right? Can I ask what you used to do?” College students were usually assigned managerial roles after graduation. The workers might be let go, but not necessarily the managers.
The woman looked shifty for a second. “I…..” She grabbed her resume and stood up. “I am just looking.”
She dashed toward the door and bumped into Feng Zeyu. With Feng Zeyu’s build, he didn’t even move a bit when the woman bumped into him. The woman, on the other hand, stumbled a few steps backward.
Clutching onto her resume tightly, her apologized with her head lowered. “I’m sorry.”
Feng Zeyu had a suspicious look on him as he watched the woman ran away without looking back.
“Are you alright?” asked Shu Yan when she saw Feng Zeyu. “How come you are…”
He rarely contacted Shu Yan when they were in City Nan. Particularly when they were around City Nan University, he would pretend that they didn’t even her when they ran into each other. This was the first time he came to her shop.
“Yingying’s parents will be released today or tomorrow and I worry that they will come and stir up troubles here.” Feng Zeyu recalled the woman who had just left and asked, “Was she a customer of yours?”
“No, she was here applying for a job. It was odd. She is a college graduate. I would imagine she has a good position lined up for her. Why would she want to become a salesperson at my shop? And she is from City Ning also. I only brought that up and she took off frantically.” Shu Yan felt that the woman was odd.
“Resident of City Ning. A college graduate.” Feng Zeyu’s eyes narrowed as though he had an idea who she was now.
“Yeah, you know her?”
“I might have met her in the past. It’s been a while so I am not 100% sure,” said Feng Zeyu with a slight smile.
“Yingying’s parents won’t be out till tomorrow. You don’t need to be here so early. I will give you a call if they come to cause trouble.” Shu Yan figured that Yingying’s parent would not dare to come over.
“You never know what someone will do when they are pushed too far. It may be too late for a phone call then.” Feng Zeyu looked around the shop. “I can’t be here but I will be around. Give me a call immediately if something happens.”
Shu Yan was going to take him out to lunch but Feng Zeyu said he had something else to attend to and took off. Shu Yan did ask; things were already messy enough between them.
Truth was, Shu Yan felt somewhat conflicted right now.
Feng Zeyu was a very good man. He was reliable, mature, responsible, and has a good temperament. He provided her with a sense of security. Had she met someone like him before her transmigration, she very well might… consider pursuing this further.
But she was now a mother of two.
Once you have kids, there were a lot more to take into consideration. For the first marriage, the two only needed to be fond of each other, or found each other suitable. But when it came to a second marriage, the kids were the most important. Could the kids accept it? Would he be nice to them? Would they have another child later on? If they have another one, would he be fair to all of them? Would she prefer the youngest one of them? All sorts of questions prevented Shu Yan to remarry in a carefree way.
Shu Yan sighed. To be perfectly honest, Shu Yan didn’t think she could hold out and never get married again for the two children. She was a normal woman and needed a partner both physically and emotionally. That was the main reason she did not turn Feng Zeyu down.
She felt a little like a scum. She couldn’t promise that she will be with Feng Zeyu but she also didn’t want to say out loud.
She smiled bitterly. Did that make her green tea?
