The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 79 – What Was Going Through the Boss’s Mind? (2)

All in all, Yan Shuyu was extremely confident about her instant son. She only felt bad for her poor self that had to juggle multiple roles.

For the time being, the ball was in their court. She has no choice but to wait around for now. =.=

As opposed to Instructor Lin who has yet to show up, Zhou Qinhe, who hadn’t showed up in front of her for over a week, had been appearing more in her life. This big boss, who had a million things to worry about at work everyday, had not only asked to add her on Wechat, but had been messaging her on and off.

The first time Yan Shuyu received a message from the boss she was stunned, but the next few times she had gotten used to it. Her initial shock had been replaced by confusion.

Normally speaking, when a CEO with a sky high status suddenly decided to try some peasant-like entertainment and went to a movie and dinner with a pretty girl, then asked her for her WeChat contact and has been messaging her time and again, then for sure he was interested in her and wanted to court her. After all, Yan Shuyu had competed at her college’s beauty pageant in her previous life. Even though she didn’t win in the competition, she still had a lot of suitors. Plus, she loved all sorts of trashy romance novels, she had seen these developments way too many times.

But Zhou Qinhe wasn’t just any CEO. As the father of the male lead, he should have been a positive character. He was, after all, on the male lead’s side. But the connivance of this boss man no doubt put many other villains to shame. Never mind that he straddles the line between good and evil, the biggest issue here was that he has the story arc of sending his wife to jail. In order to train the male lead, he could toss away the instant son that he had for 20 years and straight up sent the woman who had been sleeping next to him for 20 years to jail.

And she had been such an attractive wife too. She understood what a man wants and had done a great job acting out the role of a good stepmom.

If Zhou Qinhe could do all those things, Yan Shuyu must say that instead of him being interested in her, it’d make more sense to say he was more interested in her instant son.

This was her being self-deprecating. Yan Shuyu was very confident in herself. The problem being that the series of actions from the boss man just didn’t seem very much like he was trying to court her.

Naturally, she wouldn’t expect someone standing on the top of the pyramid such as Zhou Qinhe would turn into a puppy who followed her around, but there were still things that one should do when they were courting a girl – like talking to her on a regular basis, send her flowers from time to time, or ask her out to dinner, etc.

Yet what have the boss done so far?

He has sent her a total of 3 messages in the last 10 days. The first one said he had a good time. She replied with “good night” and that was it.
