The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 189 – He wanted to see how long the attentiveness that she showed today would last (3)

After she had tricked her son into going to the musical institution with the boss, Yan Shuyu was happily prepared to go spend some alone time with the boss.

Whether they had been out just the two of them or the two of them with the two kiddos, the attentive, thoughtful, and experienced boss had always arranged for everything and Yan Shuyu never had to worry about anyway.

Naturally, Yan Shuyu assumed that this would just be another day like that. So, after she had waved goodbye to her son and Instructor Liu and returned back to the car, she asked the boss with a look of anticipation, “Okay, done. Where are we going now?”

The boss started the car as usual and for the first time ever, he asked her for her opinion, “Where do you want to go?”

Yan Shuyu, unprepared, paused for a second, “Huh?”

Zhou Qinhe might seem to be a very thorough person, but when it came to experience in dating, it was hard to say which one of the two was the more experienced one.

The family, wait, no, the four of them had gone out for most of the morning the day before but that wasn’t really a date. They had also been to a movie and dinner before, but time was short and they didn’t have to make a lot of plans. So this entire day that was just going to be the two of them was a brand new experience for Boss Zhou.

He had always been a man with a host of problems to take care of everyday. He was so busy that he barely had time for his own son. Now, all of a sudden, he was going to spend an entire day with a woman doing absolutely nothing. Boss Zhou wasn’t interested in spending his time this away at all originally, but now his mentality has changed. He’s dating now and he was the one who pursued her. Perhaps, he should also experience other activities between a dating couple.

That being said, even the almighty Boss Zhou had no idea what to plan for an entire day like this.

Everything was difficult at the beginning. He didn’t have much experience now, but he’d get better with time.

But only he knew that he was stumped on this matter. Zhou Qinhe was still that cool, unaffected, and experienced man in front of Yan Shuyu. Not letting her detect anything out of the ordinary – granted, it wasn’t all his acting, a big part of it was Yan Shuyu’s poor eyesight as well.

Zhou Qinhe did try to hide that just for the sake of preserving his male ego. Mainly he knew his own girlfriend well. Once he showed his weakness in this area, it’s hard to say whether she’d help out, but for sure she’d make fun of him. After all, her reactions were never predictable. He didn’t want to give her more ammunition to tease him with.

Meeting with Yan Shuyu’s dubious look, Zhou Qinhe asked casually, “Do you want to go shopping? Buy some stuff, perhaps?”

He has professionals who take care of his clothes for him and never needed to go shop for anything himself, nor would he ever waste his time on accompanying others to shop.

However, he knew that it was one of Yan Shuyu’s favorite activities. Last time when he ran into her after her shopping spree, she wasn’t just excited, her eyes were sparkling the entire time. It didn’t matter that everything that she bought was very inexpensive. That’s when Zhou Qinhe had noticed that she was no different from any other girls; they all liked shopping.

Which was why he offered it even though he found it boring. What’s one time if he could see her beaming like she did last time?

Zhou Qinhe was so sure what her answer would be but then it came a very unexpected answer. Yan Shuyu rejected his suggestion without warning.

Yan Shuyu was either unpredictable or that she had been single for too long and had lost her touch. She should be pleasantly surprised by his suggestion – the boss was a parvenu rich with hundreds of billion yuan of assets. As much as her values would not allow her to take a check directly from him, she was now the girlfriend of a parvenu rich. It’d only be normal for her boyfriend to pay when she went shopping.
