Chapter 125 – So It Was Her Who Overthought All Of It (3)
As slow as she was, after everything that Zhou Qinhe had done, Yan Shuyu finally noticed that he had been very at ease ever since he had walked inside her apartment. He didn’t really think of himself as a guest at all. Did he already see her as Mrs. Zhou? He wanted to marry her that much?
For the first time in her life, Yan Shuyu felt that it was such a pressure to be as attractive as she was. She already started worrying about how to talk the stubborn boss out of wanting to marry her.
Zhou Qinhe had no idea how much duress Yan Shuyu was feeling inside. After he had finished helping her, he turned and asked her, enthusiastically, “Anything else I can help with?”
“No, No.” Yan Shuyu shook her head reflexively. Seeing that the little body had steady breathing, a tell-tale sign that her instant son was fast asleep, she said in a lowered voice, “Let’s go.”
The two of them retreated outside carefully.
When all was said and done, it was already 9:30 PM. Even though Yan Shuyu was staying at the central business district, by this hour, there still weren’t a lot of people left on the street. After all, the mall closed at 10 PM.
Granted, the mall downstairs was still not a suitable place to have a conversation. As soon as they walked outside of the building, there came a cold breeze. Zhou Qinhe suggested thoughtfully, “Why don’t we go grab a beverage somewhere?”
“Okay,” replied Yan Shuyu as she happily pointed at the Starbucks across the street. “Let’s go get a drink there?”
Yan Shuyu beat him to the punch this time. The coffee shop that she worked at wasn’t far from her place. She didn’t want to give the boss the opportunity to suggest going to Sunshine House. She didn’t want to have to turn him down in front of all of her little buddies. Even though she wasn’t the one who was being turned down, it’d still be a hassle if her gossipy coworkers found out about it. They would never let her live it down. Plus, it’d also be a hassle if the boss snapped from anger after being turned down publicly.
Which was why she cleverly suggested going to Starbucks. As far as she knew, this Starbucks closed even earlier than Sunshine House, meaning they could just get in and get out~
Not knowing her evil intentions, Zhou Qinhe nodded agreeably, “Okay.”
It was after 9 PM, even inside of Starbucks, there weren’t a lot of people. The quiet coffee shop was perfect for a serious discussion. Yan Shuyu and the boss picked a seat in a corner. Yan Shuyu didn’t sit down right away, instead, she said to him, “I am going to go place the order, what would you like?”
Zhou Qinhe rarely ever visited places like that. He finally took a look at the cash register after he heard Yan Shuyu’s words. He said in a very gentlemanly way, “I’ll go. What do you want?”
Yan Shuyu quickly grabbed him and said in a serious tone, “I’ll get it. You have already paid for the movie and dinner last time. Any way you look at it, it’s my turn this time.”
It was nice to take advantage of others, but Yan Shuyu wasn’t that frugal. She could at least afford a cup of Starbucks coffee.
Zhou Qinhe was very unused to the whole pulling and tugging in public, so he only hesitated for a little bit before he gave in. “Okay, just get me one of whatever you are having.”
Yan Shuyu thought to herself; every time the boss visited their shop, he had never drunk that coffee. The cup of Starbucks coffee was most likely just a decoration anyway. She nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll order two cups of café latte then.”
Zhou Qinhe nodded lightly and said, “Okay, I will wait for you here.”
Yan Shuyu had already turned around with her cellphone in hand. She waved at him with her back to him and said, “Have a seat. I will be right back.”
She might have said “right back”, but in reality, Zhou Qinhe still had to wait for a few minutes before Yan Shuyu returned with two cups of freshly-made café latte.
