The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 186 – Is that ruthless or is that ruthless? (3)

So she wasn’t even the one who had it the worst. Yan Shuyu didn’t feel comfort from that but hugged herself in self-pity.

Yan Shuyu had always known that the boss was a schemer, but she had never encountered someone like that before. The entire time that she has been with the boss, he has always been gentle, patient, and gentlemanly. It was to the extent that she had been pushing her luck further and further. Now that she heard Manager Yang’s analysis, Yan Shuyu finally realized that the boss was still a boss after all. His cunning character set remained. As much as he was smiling cheerfully every day, those who offended him would still be met with such a horrible fate.

Yan Shuyu lit a candle for herself for being involved with such a terrifying character.

Her reaction made Yang Zifeng speechless. “My only intention was to let you know that Boss Zhou isn’t as much of a pushover as you thought. There’s no need to overreact.”

“Do you think he’d treat me that way too when we break up one day?” asked Yan Shuyu, terrified.

“You two are together already?” Yang Zifeng paused for a little, but that was still within his speculation. “You just got together with him, and you are already worrying about breaking up? Is it necessary to be that pessimistic? Perhaps what Boss Zhou has for you is real love, and you will be able to marry into the prestigious family.”

The sheer thought of that made Yan Shuyu shudder. “Don’t even joke about that.”

She would not marry into the prestigious family. Not in this lifetime.

Yang Zifeng was mainly kidding. Seeing her reaction, he felt relieved after his surprise subsided. “Alright, I don’t think so either. Boss Zhou looks like the very intelligent type and obviously not someone who’d be head over heel in love. You’d have better odds of marrying into a prestigious family if you found yourself a Foolish, White, and Sweet. With someone like Boss Zhou, perhaps you’d succeed if you borrow another 500 years from heaven and keep working on it.”

Even with Manager Yang’s reassurance, Yan Shuyu was only half relieved. The other half of her was still worried. “If he’s as mighty as you said, how am I going to break up with him in the future?”

Yang Zifeng, “……”

“Don’t you think you are overthinking this a bit? Boss Zhou has no shortage of women. If you want to break up, just break up amicably. You don’t think he’ll lock you up and have his ways with you, do you?”

Yan Shuyu, “……”

She reminded him coolly, “That was a bit suggestive.”

“Just say if I was right or not.” Yang Zifeng had no restraints when he talked in front of her. He was still working on comforting her. “If Boss Zhou has that kind of a preference, he’d have done it after the first time you’ve turned him down. You really think he’d wait till the day you two break up?”

Manager Yang’s words successfully put Yan Shuyu’s heart back inside of her chest, but that conversation had a lasting effect.

When she saw the boss again after work, she had some minimum respect for him.

Yup, the boss has come to pick her up from work again. Yan Shuyu thought he’d drop off her instant son at the coffee shop, but surprisingly, the boss was so full of love that after he had picked up the two kiddos, he took them out again and then to dinner before coming to pick her up at Sunshine House at 8 o’clock.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the boss’s car again, Yan Shuyu thanked him politely and with appreciation. “You can just drop Yuanbao off at the shop next time. He’s already used to it.”

Zhou Qinhe said casually as he started the car, “It’s alright. I have time. I didn’t mind spending some time with them.”

Yan Shuyu continued to say politely. “That’s too much to ask for.”

As sensitive as Boss Zhou was, he noticed that something was different about her by now. Lifting his brows, he chuckled. “Aren’t you going to ask what they had for dinner tonight?”

Yan Shuyu continued with what she thought was her impeccable flattery. “I am sure any restaurant that you’ve picked would be delicious.”
