Just when Yan Shuyu was about to start cussing him out, he chuckled at her and carried on, "Hear me out first. What I meant to say was that we can try to date first. After all, we can't decide overnight if we want to get married. What do you think?"
She thought he was right - that's what Yan Shuyu really wanted to say, but she couldn't.
What the boss man had just told her was that all her "worries" about serious issues such as him having his own son, that he'd favor his own son more after they were married, and that her son wouldn't be able to inherit anything, etc. were merely her overthinking everything. Right now, he just wanted to have fun. It hadn't crossed his mind to marry her.
Frankly, if the boss man was to swear that he would never marry her, Yan Shuyu would truly give this whole thing a thought. The boss was, after all, super handsome, has good techniques, and a very generous person. He took her to French restaurant that cost 4 digits even before they were a couple. If they only "hang out", she could experience the joy of both keeping her own boy toy and dating a rich man at the same time!
Just think about it. She could take full advantage of the male-god grade boss man and bed him over and over again with no strings attached. Finally, when they break up, she would be able to get a large sum of money from him - it said so in all the CEO novels, the CEOs always gave their girlfriends a house or a car when they break up. It was a mandate for someone of their statuses.
By then, the lump sum that she got from him would be enough for her to support herself and her instant son. She'd have nothing else to worry about. Then, after her son had grown up and became successful, all the more she wouldn't have to worry about anything ever again.
Her life was complete in her dream.
Yan Shuyu drooled and fantasized about this whole thing for a while before she turned back to reality. In her eyes, Zhou Qinhe had even less integrity than she did.
He might have said that he had no intention to get married, but perhaps that was his ploy to make her lower her guard before he struck. After all, she had already revealed the villainess stepmom's true motive. Shouldn't any normal person want to be staying as far away from her as possible right about not? Why did he still want to have anything to do with her? It was strange that the boss man seemed not to be concerned about that at all.
Quite contrarily, he seemed excited to accept the challenge and give the whole thing a shot. Perhaps, he had already decided that she was so unique that he must have her. So, her recent actions had further strengthened his determination to make her his son's stepmother.
No. She could not fall for his trap.
Yan Shuyu balled up her fists. In order to completely diminish the boss's interest in her, she has to pull out her "last resort" - ruining her own image and being completely unreasonable.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that we are just going to hang out but never get married? What is the point of that then?"
Zhou Qinhe, "......."
Sure enough, her sudden turn into a shrewd person caught the big boss, who was used to seeing classy socialites and ladies, in total surprise.
After he had managed to recollect himself, he gave her a look of "sorry-for-being-disrespectful-to-you" and said, "Pardon me, I didn't know you are such a conventional girl deep down inside."
Yan Shuyu's eyes flickered before she recalled that just a little while ago she was pretending to be an open and modern woman who bucked the trend of being a traditional conservative woman. Suddenly, her character setting had switched from that to a 1950's housewife. This abrupt change certainly made it seem like there was something wrong with her.
But Yan Shuyu maintained her composition well. After years of surfing on the web, she had seen all sorts of tools. She would shamelessly admit that she was an expert in being unreasonably adamant and unapologetically.
