The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 193 – Miss Yan was even more powerful than how Louis and the others had described her (1)

Yan Shuyu sighed happily as she heard the boss say to her, “I am going to Texas this time. What would you like me to bring back for you?”

“Texas fried chicken?” Yan Shuyu blurted out.

She had had the luxury of receiving souvenirs from business trips. As the baby of her folks, Yan Shuyu’s requests for gifts were always food-related. She was, after all, a foodie. Which was why she reflexively thought of food when asked by Zhou Qinhe.

It was Boss Zhou’s first time asking what his girlfriend would like to bring back, but Yan Shuyu’s peculiar answer was still very unexpected. He gave her a very complicated look and reminded her casually, “I am going to Texas.”

After thinking about it some more, Zhou Qinhe specifically added, “And maybe a detour to Manhattan as well.”

Zhou Qinhe couldn’t have been more obvious. Any of the ladies in his circle would know that Manhattan was synonymous to shopping heaven. Any luxurious items in the world could be found there, and she could ask for anything she wanted.

Yan Shuyu was born a peasant. She had travelled with her parents in her previous life, but had only been to Korea and Japan. Bali was the absolute furthest that she had gone. The VISA for Europe and US were expensive and complicated, and her family couldn’t quite afford that, so they never thought about it. That was the reason that she didn’t really think about it that way even Zhou Qinhe couldn’t have said it any clearer. She only felt that she had said something stupid and the boss had made fun of her.

With a lack of interest, she said, “I have never been and I have no idea what they’re known for over there. Just bring me whatever.”

One way or another, she’d be happy with any gifts. Yan Shuyu suddenly decided to add docilely, “I will like anything from you.”

Her last sentence obviously pleased Boss Zhou, so he took the opportunity at the red light to rub her head as he said happily, “Alright.”

Yan Shuyu smiled at him with anticipation. She has never been to the US, but being able to look forward to her boyfriend bringing home a souvenir from the US was exciting as well.

Zhou Qinhe was very different from someone like Yan Shuyu, who was spontaneous and didn’t ask for much in life. His daily agenda was written on paper with each of his secretaries and assistants having a copy of it and would rarely change. After he told Yan Shuyu that he was going on a business trip in 2-3 days, he headed to the US on the second night.

His flight left at about 11 PM. As his girlfriend, Yan Shuyu couldn’t act like it had nothing to do with her. Nevermind that he had promised he’d bring her souvenirs, even if he wasn’t going to, just for the sake of him being so attentive to her normally and catering to almost every whim of hers, she should go and see him off. She got off work at 8 PM, and there was plenty of time to see him off at the airport.

The boss came looking for her when it was close to the end of her shift. Instead of waiting in his car as usual, he went inside Sunshine House. Yan Shuyu happened to come down the stairs and their eyes met. She ran over to him, pleasantly surprised, and asked, “You are here to pick me up after work? I thought you were going on a business trip?”

Zhou Qinhe opened up his arms and hugged her. He answered her question with a question, “Have you had dinner yet?”

“Of course, there are chefs at the shop. The workers here won’t starve one way or another.”

Zhou Qinhe smiled, nodded, and started walking out while holding her hand. “Okay. Then let me take you home first.”

Yan Shuyu hadn’t thought too much about it and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary until she got to the car. Ever since the first time that she had run into him in the middle of the street, the boss never used a chauffeur when he was with her. Nevertheless, not only was there a much younger chauffeur today, there was also someone else in the passenger seat. A woman no less.
