Chapter 152 – The First Woman (3)

Under any other circumstances, she would probably tease him a bit, something along the line of “Hey, have you been online a lot lately? I noticed that your internet slangs are getting better.”

But now Yan Shuyu was totally stunned by what the boss had just said. It took her quite a while before she found her own voice again. Closed to tears, she asked, “Why?”

She almost wanted to ask him what was it about her that piqued his interest. She’d go fix that right away.

There seemed to have been a role reversal. Yan Shuyu, who was the subject of the pursuit, was frantic, and the suitor was calm and relaxed. With a slight smile on him, he said to her, “I like you and want to be with you. Do I really need a reason?”

Speaking of, Yan Shuyu has had plenty of suitors in her two lives combined but nowadays boys were way less straightforward than girls when it came to relationships. All these times Yan Shuyu were pursued, very few of her suitors had openly said that they liked her, even less said it to her face. She never would have thought that she would hear it clearly from a man like Boss Zhou in this lifetime.

It’d be lying if she said she wasn’t touched. As much as she didn’t think he was too overly serious about it, the original stepmom had to pull out all of her tricks and spent two years’ time to hook the boss. Even when she became Mrs. Zhou, a title that was envious by all, she figured she was the side who’d give in most of the time. Yet, after she had transmigrated over and barely paid the boss any attention at all, that had somehow made the boss become progressively more interested in her and even courting her like mad. That ought to show how charming she was.

Then again, thinking about the ending of the stepmom, there wasn’t much to brag about. Yan Shuyu came to her senses in one second or less. She decided to put her foot down and asked, “I thought I had already made it abundantly clear last time and you had accepted as well. So why this all over again?”

“Last time?”

“When we were over at Starbuck,” replied Yan Shuyu seriously. “You said we are both single and you have the right to court me and I have the right to turn you down. But I really don’t think I deserve your attention.”

“That’s alright.” Zhou Qinhe took a step forward and  chuckled at her. “I can wait for you to change your mind.”

Yan Shuyu looked up abruptly: Say what???

Their eyes met and she suddenly understood what he was saying – she had turned him down last time, and he had accepted it, but that didn’t mean that he was going to give up. He has time and money. Failing once didn’t mean he couldn’t give it a second or third try. Eventually, he’d be able to change her mind.

Suddenly how persistent the boss was about her, Yan Shuyu only felt that she was about to black out. At this rate, she’d never be able to get rid of him.

Disturbed and distressed, something else occurred to Yan Shuyu. “Pardon me for asking, have you ever courted a girl before?”

Zhou Qinhe reacted quickly. “Did I do something wrong?”

“No, I am just curious.” Yan Shuyu shook her head. Even though he didn’t exactly answer her question, given the boss’s status, with the exception of a different-colored firework that stood out like her, there probably was never another woman who needed to be courted as far as he was concerned. She was probably the first woman who has ever turned him down to his face.
