The Male Lead's Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 150 - The First Woman

Naturally, Yan Shuyu had no idea that any minute now, a prominent family check-flinging scene would be enacted in her life. She continued to go about her happy and uneventful ways – going to work everyday and being a mother, going out to grab lunch and shopping with her little buddies from work occasionally. Her days were both busy and fulfilled.

Having joined the activities and being able to convert her prize into a bonus of 20,000 or so yuan only kept Yan Shuyu happy for only a few days. When she realized that it was going to be another 2 or so more months away before she would actually receive the money, the time frame was so far away that the not-to-patient Yan Shuyu had temporarily set her excitement aside.

Naturally, since it'd take equally long before the male lead would be covering for her rent and living expenses, Yan Shuyu had also conveniently forgotten all about the little walking RMB male lead and his father.

Perhaps, the Zhou's father and son had too much fun the other day, they did not disturb Yan Shuyu again since then. Yan Shuyu was worried that the boss and the male lead would return week after week and expected her to take them places, but until the next week, she had heard nothing from the boss, not even a message on WeChat.

Welp. That was a bit awkward. Now she felt like she was the one who was looking forward to it. That made Yan Shuyu feel a bit disgruntled about it, and all she could do was to complain about the boss's "bad habit" of being unpredictable.

This was, after all, not a big deal. After her usual disgruntlement, Yan Shuyu moved on from it.

Just when she felt that she wouldn't be seeing the boss for a long time, he showed up again without warning. Like a cat toying with a mouse, one could never predict his next move.

This time, Zhou Qinhe did not show up inside Sunshine House, but under the coffee shop, sitting inside his car alone. It was impossible to tell how long he had been there.

Yan Shuyu was the only one who took off at 8 PM; as such, she could only go home by herself. She did notice the somewhat familiar luxurious car as soon as she walked out of Sunshine House, but she didn't pay it too much attention. This was, after all, a tier-one CBD district and the boss was not the only rich man in town. Just because there's a luxurious car there didn't necessarily mean it was his.

Yan Shuyu merely glanced over at it before she continued on her way home in a very carefree manner. What she hadn't expected was that the car window would roll down as she walked past it. Under the street light, the boss's face, which was so handsome that it was hated by heaven and earth, lit up.

Smiling at her, he said, "Just getting off work?"

Yan Shuyu was so shocked that she didn't even know how to respond to him. The boss was outside the coffee shop... waiting for her?

While she was still questioning life, Zhou Qinhe unlocked the passenger's side door and said to her, "C'mon in. Let me take you home."

Perhaps the boss's attitude was too overly matter-of-factly or that Yan Shuyu was too dumbfounded, it didn't even occur to her to turn him down. When she came to, she was already sitting in the passenger's side with the boss gesturing to her to put her seatbelt on with his look.

She had a déjà vu about this scene. Dazed, Yan Shuyu buckled herself up before she recollected herself enough to turn and ask, "What a coincidence. How come you didn't come upstairs if you were here?"

Zhou Qinhe started the car and said nonchalantly, "I got here a bit late so I decided against going upstairs."

Yan Shuyu was even more baffled. It was only a little bit past 8 PM. It will be a while before the closing time of the shop. How was it late?
