The Male Lead's Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 65 - Popcorn and Ice Cola = Double The Pleasure

Yan Shuyu, whose body was being very honest as she was declining him verbally, finally followed the boss into the mall. And the reason she gave herself was that her $1,000 worth of clothes were in his hand!

Even though they probably weren't even good enough to be used as rags for the boss, they were bought with Yan Shuyu's hard-earned money. Not to mention she had tried each and every single one of them on and like them all very much. She might be able to ditch the boss and dash, but she couldn't throw away her loot of the day. That was her bottom line.

As such, Yan Shuyu had no choice but to follow Zhou Qinhe as she comforted herself; just because we're going to a movie together doesn't mean he's interested in me. After all, didn't the boss just have a date with Miss WRP, and right in front of her no less? If the boss had the intention to court her, surely he'd never had done that.

The fact that Yan Shuyu was so confident was because she had read the novel, and knew that as much as the male lead's father was two-faced, and toyed with everyone like a cat toying with a mouse, there was one thing about him that instakilled all other CEOs – that he was not a promiscuous player.

Perhaps, those who enjoy high powers didn't care that much about physical desires. Specifically, he was married to the stepmom for 20 or so years and never had any affairs on the side. He was the model husband in the circle. Everybody always thought that what he had for his wife was true love, which was why he seemed to have more fondness toward his stepson. To a point that toward the end of the fight for inheritance, there were those who would take the risks and hedge their bets with the stepmom and stepson instead of the real son.

In the end, after the male lead had won that battle and sent the stepmom into jail, the male lead's father regained his status as a single man. Even though the family business had transferred to the male lead and male lead's father had retired to enjoy his golden years, he was the patriarch of a prominent family that had existed for tens of years. His personal assets and investment most definitively exceed that of the male lead's. Being in possession of money, time, and being single, he was definitely a well sought after bachelor.

Doing a reverse calculation from the male lead's age, when "she" went out of the picture, the boss was probably only around 50 or so, not even 60. Even when he was so busy with his work right now, he still found the time to keep in shape and has all 8 abdominal muscles.

One could only expect that he'd only looked about 30/40 when he was in his 50s. That was like his prime. With his qualifications, if he wanted to look for second, er no, third romance, he could have his pick. Yet, even up to the male lead meeting his one and only at age 30 and having their 2 children in 3 years, the male lead's father was still a single handsome man with no woman by his side. Quite the contrary, he had shifted to enjoying spending time with his grandchildren.

Through these developments, Yan Shuyu believed that the boss was very conservative when it came to relationships. If he could remain faithful in his marriage with the stepmom when his only purpose was to have a whetstone for his son, then naturally he would not pursue her when he has Miss WRP.

Exactly. She must have faith in his integrity and that her beauty meant nothing to him. If he was truly interested in her, he would have acted after their intimacy. She would never had the opportunity to pull her pants up and dashed.

After her own extremely logical analysis, Yan Shuyu felt even more relieved about her current situation. She figured that the reason the boss was out goofing today was probably exactly like what he had said, he hadn't had a break in a long time and was only using her as an excuse to get out of work early. She really didn't think to overthink it.

Even with the perfect excuse like her, his elite assistant earlier acted like he still had more he wanted to say and didn't want him to get off. Come to think about it, it must be hard to be him; he had to try so hard to find an excuse to goof off and his assistant still tried to stop him...
