Chapter 168 – Aren’t you going to ask me why I want to return the check? (3)

On their way out, Yan Shuyu comforted herself. The boss was still pretty efficient even when he was mad. He didn’t scold anyone but just walked straight ahead quickly. At this rate, the time it would take to get home would be shortened by half. That was so amazing!

Once they got inside the car, however, Yan Shuyu realized that her happiness came too prematurely. All of a sudden, the boss was no longer in a hurry to take off. He didn’t start the car but just sat there silently. Even though Yan Shuyu felt that at a moment like this, the less she talked the better, after fiddling with her phone for a few minutes, she finally couldn’t help but start talking. “Boss… Boss Zhou. Aren’t we heading out?”

Zhou Qinhe turned and gave her a quick glance before he said in a nonchalant tone, “You finally want to talk?”

His tone sounded like a woman who was wrong. Yan Shuyu quickly squeezed that idea out of her mind as soon as it was formed. But she was, nevertheless, baffled by his question. Exactly what did he mean by “you finally want to talk”? He was remaining silent too, okay?

Yan Shuyu was still defending herself in her mind when she heard the boss’s voice again. “Aren’t you going to ask me why I want to return the check?”

“That…” Did she really need to ask that? One way or another, she was losing out on the 2 million yuan, no? That was what Yan Shuyu, who was still feeling very disgruntled, really wanted to say. But as soon as she looked up and met the boss’s gaze, she wisely swallowed all the words in her mouth. The check was gone already. Then she couldn’t afford to also completely pissed off the boss. She was going to start working at the musical institution next month, and her and her son’s happy days relied on Daddy Customer – as much as little male lead was the walking RMB. His father was the one footing the bill in the back.

Yan Shuyu, who was extremely flexible in her mannerism, played along with the boss, “That’s right. Why?”

“Take a guess.”

Yan Shuyu, “……”

She now seriously felt that the boss was just toying with her. But then Boss Zhou asked again, “You don’t have an answer?”

Zhou Qinhe toyed with the car key in his hand and said casually, “Then take your time. We are in no rush here.”

Yan Shuyu looked at the boss by her side. It was still that gentle and graceful face but she suddenly got his meaning. The fact that the boss was toying with the car key as he spoke to her was a threat. He was telling her that she was not getting home tonight unless she could answer his question.

Except she was used to being threatened her entire life.

His threat only made her annoyed. She sneered and stubbornly turned her head away from the boss. She reached out to open the car door. If the boss didn’t want to drive, then she could just go take the subway. She didn’t necessarily need him to take her home.

Nevertheless, the very stubborn Yan Shuyu, try as she might, was not able to open the car door.

Behind her, Zhou Qinhe said in a casual tone, “Pardon me. I think I just locked the doors.”

Then unlock it! Yan Shuyu really wanted to shout those words at the boss. However, at this very moment in time, there were more uncertainties in her mind – so the boss didn’t give her a hard time even though he was angry at her at the restaurant wasn’t because he didn’t want to. It was just that he figured it’d be easy for her to get away from the restaurant. In order to prevent that from happening, the boss decided to lock her in the car first before he had it out with her.

What a pity that she had gotten inside of the car with the boss so cooperatively. The possibility of this happening had never occurred to her at all. That was the textbook case of “walking right into it”.

That very moment, Yan Shuyu really wanted to cry over her own stupidity. Leaning up against the window and mulling over her own mistake for a while, she started wondering about the possibility of having a discussion with the boss to let her go home. But, as soon as she turned her head, she noticed that the boss who was sitting in the driver’s seat, was leaning over her.

There was very limited room inside the car, and Zhou Qinhe was tall and big. He had only leaned in a little bit when Yan Shuyu felt a tremendous pressure coming down at her. Every last bit of confidence within her disappeared immediately. Having no principles whatsoever, she said, “Boss Zhou, I think I have an idea about your question now!”

“Oh? Do share,” said Zhou Qinhe nonchalantly.
