The Male Lead's Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 65 - Popcorn and Ice Cola = Double The Pleasure

But, of course, she was the most pitiful one of all. In the novel she was destined to be the boss's son's whetstone. Now she wanted to quit but the boss wouldn't let her go. He used her as the tool to babysit his son and now he used her as an excuse to get out of work. She was used to maxed, and he never viewed her as a normal human being. Lucky her, right?

Thinking about that, Yan Shuyu started to get angry. The adrenaline rush made her no longer the pitiful, helpless little kitty in front of the boss. She had made up her mind to show him who's boss. She would pick a scary movie at the theater and scare him sh*tless. All of a sudden, she picked up her pace and mindlessly walked in front of the boss.

Naturally, Zhou Qinhe wasn't someone who cared about minor details like that. He found it more amusing at the sudden change in her mannerism. Raising his brows a little, he also increased his pace to keep up with her, but the entire time deliberately walked half a step behind her to appease her.

Yan Shuyu was cool for not more than 3 seconds. As soon as she walked inside the mall, she suddenly turned and gave him a baffled look, "This doesn't look like the mall I was at before?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't mention the exact location, so I assumed it was this one," explained Zhou Qinhe as he gave her another look.

Yan Shuyu felt that his look was filled with contempt of her IQ, yet she had no rebuttal. Come to think about it, as soon as she got into the car she was busy with all sorts of crazy thoughts and awkward chitchat, she surely did not tell them the exact location...

What should she do? She was worried about her own IQ all of a sudden...

While Yan Shuyu was starting to have self-doubt, Zhou Qinhe did not press the envelope. Instead, he asked in a very gentlemanly manner, "Would you like to go over there now?"

"Nah, it doesn't matter where we go to watch a movie," said Yan Shuyu without hesitation. As TBH as this mall looked, it's just watching a movie. How expensive could it be? The sooner they finished watching the movie, the sooner she could bid the boss farewell!

Once she had her mind set, Yan Shuyu actively dragged the boss around the mall and quickly found the theater, "Top floor on this side, let's take the elevator up."

She beelined toward the theater, but when she got to the window, Yan Shuyu learned that there wasn't any scary movies that she had hoped for. There were, however, two romance comedies. One of them being the one that she had in mind originally, yet Yan Shuyu couldn't even begin to fathom watching a romance comedy in the theater with just the two of them. So, she took the opportunity when the boss asked what she would like to watch in a perfect gentlemanly way and decisively picked an action flick that was just about to start, "Let's watch this one. The rating is very high. Should be pretty decent."

Zhou Qinhe chuckled, "Okay."

Then, he pulled out his luxurious black card and handed it over to the young girl in the ticketing booth.

Yan Shuyu had planned on politely expressing that she could pay for the tickets, but as soon as she saw the prices, she kept her mouth shut nicely. The tickets cost $100 each, no way she would pay for that.

She quietly put her hand over her purse and dared not pretend to be polite anymore. Inadvertently, she caught sight of the plastic bags still hanging on the boss's exalted and elegant hand and shuddered. She quickly took the bags from him and said, "I can get those."

Zhou Qinhe didn't object this time but said to her tenderly, "There's still 20 minutes before the movie starts. Why don't you grab a seat over there, I'll be over after I finished getting the tickets."
