The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother - Chapter 111

Chapter 111 – Has The Boss Gone Insane? (2)

After she was done rallying for herself, she continued on with her most righteous and dramatic accusation, “Are you trying to say that this is all my fault? When I was …. with you, I didn’t know that you don’t want to get married at all. I’m a woman, and a single mother at that. Life is rough enough for me already. I can’t believe you’d even suggest such a thing…”

As she was speaking, Yan Shuyu even pulled out a handkerchief out of nowhere to make her acting seem even more dramatic.

Boss Zhou, who had always been able to maintain his coolness when faced with just about anything, was truly and genuinely shocked this time. For the first time in Zhou Qinhe’s life, he doubted his own decision. Why did he find such a peculiar woman interesting to a point that he’d like to give being with her a shot. Could this possibly be the worst decision he had ever made in his entire life?

While Zhou Qinhe worried if being with Yan Shuyu would affect his integrity later on, his integrity had already been compromised as of now.

Due to Yan Shuyu’s incredible performance and that she was so into her role, there were already plenty of passersby started to look over in their direction. As though coordinated among each other, after they have looked at the beauty’s crying performance, they’d inevitably looked over at the loser man across from her with contempt. A nerdy looking young man even gave him an angry look. If Boss Zhou didn’t look upscale and upstanding, and someone that one wouldn’t want to mess with, someone would have probably stood up and defended Yan Shuyu by now.

But even just being looked at with contempt was a brand new experience for Boss Zhou, and not one that he has an appreciation for.

The corners of Zhou Qinhe’s mouth twitched. Looking at the woman who kept on wiping her tears away in front of him, he suddenly pursed his lips. The very next second, he walked up and tenderly put his arms around her.

His action not only stopped all the bystanders from keeping on watching but also successfully stopped Yan Shuyu’s instant performance. She wanted to push him away, but the boss was probably prepared because of the last experience of her jerking away from him. He might look the slender type, but even with his arms wrapping only casually around her, it felt that she was pushing at a wall that wouldn’t give even just a little bit. After a long time of trying, the only outcome of her effort was her being out of breath.

She finally pleaded with him, “Boss Zhou, can you please let go of me?”

“I’m afraid you will feel sad again once I let go of you.”

Yan Shuyu, “……”

With the boss’s blatant threat, Yan Shuyu, as much as it was against her wish, gave in. “I won’t, Boss Zhou. I have already calmed down.”

“Are you sure?” asked Boss Zhou in the most caring way. “You don’t need to hold it in. I am more than happy to let you borrow my shoulder.”

“Yes, thank you so much for offering. I feel much better now,” said Yan Shuyu through gritted teeth.

Zhou Qinhe finally let go of her and took half a step back but stayed within arm’s reach in case he needed to pull her back in again. Calm and composed, he asked, “You sure you are alright?”

Yan Shuyu nodded. She soon heard the boss say, “Then let’s continue what we were talking about.”

“……” Yan Shuyu was fretting a little. She had already highlighted her unfaithful, gold digging, and shrewd nature. Any negative side that she could think of she had already played it out. And that still couldn’t turn the big boss off?

Could she say that what the boss has for her was true love?

She was all out of ideas if they were to continue this conversation.

Yan Shuyu had all sorts of ideas running through her head, but the boss only said a simple, “Are you certain that if we are to date, we must end in marriage?”

As much as she wasn’t sure the meaning behind his question, Yan Shuyu nodded decisively. “Yes, I am certain.”
