The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 33 – The Fate Of A Cannon Fodder (3)

It was very unfortunate that Chen Jing didn’t turn around quick enough. Out of the corner of her eyes, Yan Shuyu had already spotted her. Like a drowning person grabbing onto a straw, she called out loudly to her, “Manager Chen, are you done with your work?”

She was so loud that Chen Jing couldn’t even pretend that she didn’t hear her. Manager Chen stiffened and stopped in her way before turning and smiling at them, “Hi, Boss Zhou…. Eh, Shuyu, I still have a little more to do….”

Yan Shuyu straight up pretended she didn’t hear that part and went on, “I am coming with you!”

She didn’t know how to greet the male lead’s father, so she decided to skip it altogether. She gave Zhou Qinhe an awkward smile before she took Zhang Yuanjia by his hand and said to him, “We are heading out now.”

This was when she noticed that her instant son had the corner of Zhou Qinhe’s suit in one hand. Tsk tsk, that was too brazen.

Being urged by his mom, the little kiddo gave Zhou Qinhe a reluctant look and said, “Bye-bye, uncle.”

“Bye-bye, little Yuanbao,” said Zhou Qinhe as he looked down and smiled at him. He was no longer that superior man who was standing at the top of the world, the hard to read Boss Zhou. Tenderness could be seen on his clear and handsome face, making it so dazzling it was difficult to turn away from. Now, not only the instant son, it was even difficult for Yan Shuyu to walk away from him.

Exactly because she had bedded him that Yan Shuyu knew how amazing this big boss truly was – hundreds of billions of dollars net worth, incredibly competent at work, super handsome with jade-like quality, hot body, great skill and stamina. It was said that a gorgeous woman only appeared once in 4,000 years in the entertainment industry. If that’s the case, Yan Shuyu thought that Zhou Qinhe was the one in 8,000 years male god and could only be found in a novel. Even though she was a gorgeous beauty now, it was still very lucky for her to bed such a man.

Suddenly, after arriving at this conclusion, Yan Shuyu was no longer nervous. She was the reacher in this whole incident, meaning the ball was in her court – as long as she didn’t make the first move, the big boss probably didn’t care one way or another. It wasn’t like he hasn’t seen any pretty women before.

And, thinking about the way he was interacting with Zhang Yuanjia, Yan Shuyu suddenly felt that her son was in a much more vulnerable spot than she was. In the original novel, was Zhang Yuanjia the original intended target of the big boss to be his son’s whet stone, and he just happened to take the cannon fodder mother as a package deal?

Thinking that somehow a gorgeous beauty like her held less appeal to the big boss than her kiddo son, Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but feel a little bummed. But, she also felt relieved at the same time. It’s good that the big boss wasn’t interested in her. That way, as long as she held her ground and refused to be the male lead’s stepmother, the big boss couldn’t possibly force her to marry him.

Now that the critical situation was resolved, Yan Shuyu felt much more relieved. Step by step she walked out of the big boss sight with her instant son in toll. In fact, she was so happy that she couldn’t help but chuckle. What a good day this was? She and the big boss dad laughed off their issues (single-sidedly) and she was about to pick up her entire month’s salary, what more could she possibly ask for?

What followed went smoothly, Manager Chen took her to sign the documents, then personally took her to Treasury. The entire event took 10 minutes.

Yan Shuyu headed home with a stack of cash on her back while holding hands with her her instant son. She looked fully contented.

On the other hand, Boss Zhou Qinhe, who was already completely gone from Yan Shuyu mind, pensively returned to his room and said to his assistant, “Get me a copy of Yan Shuyu’s human resource file.”

Louis was out on a business trip, and Robin stayed in the hotel assisting the boss. Hearing the request that was entirely not business related, Robin didn’t even blink but just replied professionally, “Yes, Boss Zhou, I will have that for you by the end of the day.”

Nevertheless, Robin was curious inside. The boss didn’t even seem all that interested in learning anything about the lady right after the incident, so what brought on the sudden interest before coming back to the room?
