Stepmom Male Lead Villain

Chapter 13

As she drank alone in the boba shop, Yan Shuyu wanted to play mobile games for fun. But, all his friends were his co-workers at Sunshine House and they were all at work. The only one available was the strong man, Yang Zifeng. Alright, so Manager Yang is a noob, but helping his manager gain experience points will be good for future promotions and raises, he said, so Yan Shuyu was somehow happy to ping Manager Yang at WeChat.

Manager Yang, on the other hand, did not seem to be particularly interested in gaming these days. Instead, she asked Yan Shuyu how she had time to play mobile games when she was shopping. Seeming desperate, Yan Shuyu gave him the entire low and immediately Manager Yang giggled nonstop.

“You two girls. He went on a date with his girlfriend on his day off, and you asked a male friend to play an RPG. Doesn't that sound pathetic..?”.

Yan Shuyu, "......"

He couldn't help but reply to her, “Oh huh? Another TRH is surrounded by nice cars and beautiful women, and you stay at home and scratch your feet. Isn't that worse?”

"Should we hurt each other like this?" Yang Zifeng quickly gave up.

Manager Yang feels very helpless about having employees who do not respect him as his boss. It seemed like he was not a very hard worker, but every quarter when he looked at the financial statements, the store's income had grown markedly since Yan Shuyu had started. This was a world where a pretty face was everything; she was unable to anger her money-maker, so she had to seduce him, “I was just about to pick up Yuanbao. If you are bored, do you want to come to my place as well? I can stop by the college town to pick you up too. It's not rush hour.”

"No!" Yan Shuyu was still "upset" about her previous comments and was determined to rebuild her pride as a single woman. “I'm very busy today. I plan to go to the movies and have a buffet in a moment.”

"All right." Yang Zifeng did not mind in the slightest, “Then, have fun. I'll drop off Yuanbao tonight.”

Yan Shuyu is not worried at all, “Yuanbao has a house key in his bag. You can only lower it. But send me an SMS after you pick her up, okay? ”

This is also the first time Yang Zifeng met a very cold mother, “Wow, you are quite carefree. Okay, you go have fun. I'll ask him to have a video chat with you after I pick him up! ”

Yan Shuyu ended his conversation without worry. He had enough rest so he picked up all the bags he was carrying and walked out. The plan was to wave to the taxi and return to the mall where he had been previously to watch movies and have dinner. Yup, that's how life without care from a single woman~

Never underestimate the appeal of a beautiful woman. Yan Shuyu had just been standing there on the side of the road for two minutes, and before she could take down a taxi, a very luxurious-looking car pulled over in front of her.

Yan Shuyu was surprised, but convinced herself that she thought too much about it. But, he was more worried that the car was pulled over because of him. What if the car door opens and some burly man jumps out and takes her away?

After all, the entire body of the car was black, and the window coverings were so luxurious that one could not see the inside of the car at all. It looks too similar to boss style. That's not good, that's not good. Better to be safe than sorry. Yan Shuyu took a few steps back and only planned to move to a new location to lower his cab as the car window descended in front of him.

An extremely handsome face could be seen, and he greeted her nonchalantly, "What a coincidence?"

Yup, definitely the – boss style that was Yan Shuyu's first thought. His second thought was why he did not run faster. Nothing good ever happened when he met his boss. \=.\=

Since Yan Shuyu did not escape quickly enough, she now had no choice but to chat awkwardly with the boss by the roadside. With an awkward but polite smile, he said, “Oh hi, Boss Zhou. How coincidental!"

He did not know whether it was because of the car door between them or he thought too much about it, Yan Shuyu felt that Zhou Qinhe today was a little different from what he used to be. His smile was light and made people feel more honorable, reserved, and haughty. Overall, he exuded a unique presence and style, which perfectly matched Yan Shuyu's impression of what a man with his status looked like.

So when the boss glanced at him, he instantly froze and stood in place obediently.

Although Zhou Qinhe looked more haughty than usual, he was still very polite. An ordinary person who meets an acquaintance while driving a car may not pull over. Even if they took the time to greet them politely, at most they would exchange pleasantries before leaving.

Zhou Qinhe, a man who easily controlled the ups and downs of transactions over several million every minute, looked very relaxed and continued to chat with Yan Shuyu, "I'm here for business, I'm here for business, what about you?"

He really doesn't want to know why the boss is here, okay? \=.\=

Yan Shuyu was a bit confused, but she still waved her shopping bag in her hand and said, "I'm here to shop."

Zhou Qinhe glanced at the obviously common and cheap plastic bag in his hand for a second or two and said, "Himself?"

Yan Shuyu, “...”

Why is everyone attacking him today? She can't be a happy single person if she looks beautiful? What asshole! He could not help himself even if he was the boss. Unhappy, he stressed, "I came with a friend, but we parted ways after we finished shopping."

"I see," Zhou Qinhe smiled casually. "Where do you plan to go next?"

He looked so relaxed that it made Yan Shuyu feel silly to have reacted the way he did. Feeling a little defeated, he said, "I'm going to the mall."

"Do you think you're done shopping?"

"Can't I go see a movie?" Yan Shuyu rolled her eyes. He began to lose patience over this seemingly endless chatter.

He only remembered that it was the boss of the man he had spoken to after he finished saying that. Did he just roll his eyes towards the boss man?

His knees started to limp, making him leave.

Zhou Qinhe, on the other hand, was as friendly as ever. Not only was he not bothered by Yan Shuyu's rudeness, he also chuckled. And his laughter melted his shame. Then, in an almost indulgent tone, he said, “Come in! I'll drop you on the way!"

Yan Shuyu did not have time to digest the meaning behind the man boss's laughter, nor did he have time to wonder how the man's boss could have known that the mall was on its way without him telling him which mall he was heading to. He was a little stunned when the boss rolled the car window back after he finished talking and the inside of the car went back blurry. At the same time, the passenger side door opened and an elite man in full suit came out and personally opened the car door for him while gesturing, "Please, Miss Yan."

He looked inside the car and noticed that the boss, who was just sitting by the window and chatting with him, had already shifted to the other side. The boss man, switch to the other side just for him! What does he owe the pleasure to?!

Yan Shuyu was already glazed over now. No, it's not because he's touched. He was too embarrassed to move and suspected that everyone on the street was staring at him right now. Still, he boldly said, “No, it's okay. I can't...”.

Zhou Qinhe might seem gentle, delicate, and not stiff, but as someone of such a high status that everyone around him was always submissive, his patience was extremely limited. He no longer wanted to say a word, but cast a strange and indifferent Look at him.

Yan Shuyu did not dare to hesitate anymore and quickly and smoothly got into the car. He realized now why the man's boss was wearing his smile mask day after day – as handsome as him, he was scary when he wasn't smiling.*sob*

After he sat in the car, he cupped his fragile little heart and comforted him; the big boss only did that because his CEO looked and disliked anyone who went against his decision. Her previous appearance was not meant for her. In fact, she should rejoice at being able to ride a luxury car to the mall for free. The boss's car looks very luxurious, and he probably won't be able to drive such a car until his instant son becomes the winner in life.

He felt much better looking at it from this new point of view and became much less nervous now that he was confident he was taking advantage of the big boss. He even thought he was being discreet when he touched the chair under his butt. Wow, very soft and comfortable. So this is the legendary real leather upholstery? In his past life, his father had bought a new car when he was going to college. He also bragged about how it was genuine leather upholstery and exalted luxury but that was nothing compared to his boss' car. Are there different levels of leather upholstery depending on who the buyer is?

Yan Shuyu was so preoccupied with all sorts of thoughts that she did not realize that the corner of the boss' mouth had been lifted up a little.

Robin had great respect for Yan Shuyu. Any woman who could get Boss Zhou's attention should be well versed in the human psyche and spend a lot of time studying the art of war. He seems to have mastered the capture technique by releasing, advancing by retreating, building a new one by destroying the old one. And at the same time, he is good at adapting to changing situations and understands the boss very well.

The boss may seem like a friendly person, though, but those who have worked with him for a while know that he has a bit of a temperament and is as impatient as it looks and he also doesn't like to be questioned. Somehow, Yan Shuyu was able to avoid all the buttons that were usually triggered by others by accident.

Being able to raise her interest perfectly at all times and never make her feel bored, she was arguably a lover made especially for her.

In other words, how much time did he spend studying their boss?

Robin might have thought so about Yan Shuyu, but he did not mean to be disrespectful at all. She knew that as many BOSSes as possible were teasing Ms. Yan was like a pet and kept him away, he did not view him as someone vain and manipulative. As an excellent subordinate, of course he should follow and be positive and friendly towards her.

Not to mention once he appeared, BOSS' mood instantly improved and all the bad air in the car was gone. That must be a good thing! Robin felt very relieved, not knowing that his relief came too early.

In the back, Yan Shuyu stroked the leather seat of the luxurious car and carefully leaned against her comfortable and rocking back. Imaging that she is a rich woman who can afford to buy her own luxury car and keep her own toys, she is happy and immersed in her own fantasies while completely forgetting the boss sitting next to her.

When he finally remembered that he was the one hitching a ride, he heard the owner's soft voice next to his ear, "Are you not tired of holding your bag like that?"

“Ah, not too bad.” Yan Shuyu was not tired of holding the bag, but after being reminded by the boss, she felt a little silly to hold it like her. Deciding to follow his advice, he looked down at where he would put his things. After all, all of his clothes numbered less than $1,000; probably equivalent to ragged as far as bosses were concerned. He didn't want to disrespect her by putting them in a chair. \=.\=

Before he made a move, his boss said attentively, "Just put it on the chair, the floor is not clean."

Yan Shuyu thought that the floor was quite dust-free and clean, but she still listened to him and placed her bag right between them, like little children drawing the boundary between the tables, no one was allowed to cross over to the other side.

This way, he could keep a safe distance from the boss. He thought he was a genius to come up with it. The proud and complacent Yan Shuyu looked at the boss and smiled. "Thank you, Boss Zhou."

"Together," Zhou Qinhe said as he observed the colorful plastic bags. He could see through every thought that came to his mind. However, he was not bothered by them, only looking back after taking a quick glance, smiling, and saying, "It seems like you're having fun shopping today."

"Oh, I have a good time." He may be polite in his speech, but his smile is brighter. He was happy to have bought so many new clothes.

"Are you going to shop again?"

"No, if I shop again, I'll go broke."

“Then why did you go there?”

“Watching movies and dinner, of course!”

Ever since he got in the car, he had been busy enjoying the elevated leather seats followed by chatting with the boss, so he never realized that the look of the road was not the same as where he had been before. He was still a bit confused when the driver stopped the car.

"Oh, are we here?"

He was just about to open the door as he spoke but Zhou Qinhe stopped him, “That's the side of the road. It's not safe, get out of my side.”

"Oh okay. Thank you." Thank you." Yan Shuyu was very obedient when she came out of it. Submissively, he got out of the car after the boss.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he immediately saw the front of the mall that was large and classy. Yan Shuyu was still wondering why she did not think the mall was so classy before when she looked at the familiar plastic bag that the boss was now carrying in his hand and she panicked.

The boss brought his shopping bag. Bags that do not even amount to 4 digits. Why does he owe the pleasure? Yan Shuyu was stunned for a moment before she reached out and said, “Thank you so much for everything, Boss Zhou. I can bring it myself.”

"No problem," Zhou Qinhe said softly. Not intending to hand it to him, he turned around and said to Robin, "Why don't you guys come back without me?"

The workplace elite now looked stunned as Yan Shuyu, "What about you, Boss Zhou?"

Zhou Qinhe turned around and looked at the still dumbfounded Yan Shuyu and replied happily, "A movie sounds casual, and I haven't seen it in a long time."

“...” Robin fell silent. He had worked with Boss Zhou for many years and had never seen him relax by going to the cinema in the mall. He couldn't help but say, "But …."

Before he could finish what he was going to say, Boss Zhou smiled at him and said, “I think today's work has more or less been taken care of, I think it's been taken care of, so it shouldn't be a problem if I leave early, right? ”

Robin, “....”.

What else could he say after BOSS said that? He could only nod with tears in his eyes, "Yes, Boss Zhou, have fun with Ms. Yan then." BOSS is happy, all right, but he might have to stay up by himself. In addition to completing some of her work, she also had to take care of the BOSS's important documents and meetings because she decided to leave early.

Had he known it would happen, he would never have told Boss Zhou when he saw Ms. Yan on the roadside – thought Robin while crying naively with tears of regret. \=.\=

Yan Shuyu also did not feel blessed. He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake – why did he decide to watch a movie???

Yan Shuyu, whose body was very honest as she rejected it verbally, ended up following the boss to the mall. And the reason she gave herself up was because her $1,000-worth of clothes were in her hands!

Although they might not even be good enough to use as cloth for the boss, they were bought with Yan Shuyu's hard-earned money. Not to mention he had tried each one of them and liked them all so much. He might be able to dispose of the boss and run, but he couldn't throw away his loot today. That's core.

Therefore, Yan Shuyu had no choice but to follow Zhou Qinhe as she comforted herself; just because we were going to go to the movies together did not mean that she was interested in me. After all, wasn't the boss just dating Miss WRP, and right in front of her? If the boss had the intention to judge him, surely he would never do that.

The fact that Yan Shuyu was very confident was because she had read the novel, and knew that even though the father of the male lead was two-faced, it was not, and toying with everyone like a cat playing around with rats, there's one thing about him installing all the other CEOs – that he's not an indiscriminate player.

Perhaps, those who enjoyed high strength did not care much about physical desires. In particular, she was married to a stepmother for 20 years or more and never cheated on her. She is a model husband in the circle. Everyone always thinks that what he has for his wife is true love, which is why he seems to prefer his stepdaughter. To the extent that towards the end of the struggle for inheritance, there were people who would take risks and risk their bets with stepmothers and stepchildren rather than their biological children.

In the end, after the male lead won that battle and sent the stepmother to prison, the male lead's father regained his status as a single man. Although the family business had been moved to the male lead and the male lead's father had retired to enjoy his golden years, he was the patriarch of a prominent family that had existed for decades. His personal assets and investments most definitely exceeded those of the male lead. Because of having money, time, and being single, she was clearly a wanted bachelor.

Doing a reverse calculation of the age of the male lead, when "he" comes out of the picture, the boss may be only about 50 or so, not even 60. Even when he is so busy with his work now, he still finds time to stay fit and have all 8 abdominal muscles.

One can only hope that he only looks around 30/40 when he is in his 50s. It was like his prime. With his qualifications, if he wanted to find a second, uh no, third romance, he could choose it. However, even until the male lead met the only one at the age of 30 and had 2 children in 3 years, the male lead's father was still a handsome man with no women by his side. On the contrary, he has switched to enjoying spending time with his grandchildren.
