The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 262 – The New Place (1)

In Yan Shuyu’s mind, as the place that the boss has rented for her was similar to that of Manager Yang’s, naturally their remodeling would be similar except that the boss’s taste might be more refined and the furniture and décor more luxurious?

She hadn’t expected that their “home” would be so unique.

They arrived at the new place at around 4:30 PM, and it was already starting to get dark outside. Even though the place was naturally well lit, the boss still turned on the lights immediately. The moment that Yan Shuyu stepped inside, she immediately felt that the décor of the place was particularly delicate and warm. Under the glow of the fancy chandelier, the blingbling made her eyes beam immediately.

She had no idea how such a luxurious house could radiate such a girly feel to it. Yan Shuyu was not disappointed at all that the luxurious mansion in her mind was nowhere to be seen. She had never lived in a luxurious mansion before, but neither has she ever lived in a blingbling princess castle. And the latter was the one that every girl would find irresistible.

Yan Shuyu, looking up with her girly heart, stared at the crystal chandelier for a while before she lamented from the bottom of her heart, “This is gorgeous. Secretary Lu’s taste is so impeccable.”

As the boss had told her that this place was prepared by Secretary Lu, Yan Shuyu naturally gave Secretary Lu all the credits. She even thought to herself that only a girl could understand another girl.

Boss Zhou, who was standing behind Yan Shuyu and watching her reaction quietly, took a look at her and asked tenderly, “Do you like this place?”

Yan Shuyu nodded with no hesitation, and Zhou Qinhe chuckled with contentment. “Good. If you like this place, then all the work was not in vain.”

The boss sounded very nonchalant nor did he show any particular emotions, but Yan Shuyu oddly got the feeling that the boss was fishing for credit. He didn’t need to compete with his secretary, did he? Suppressing that illogical thought, Yan Shuyu gave the boss a hesitant look. “Em… didn’t you say this was all Secretary Lu’s doing?”

“Yes, she was the one who handled the nitty-gritty details and the day-to-days,” explained Boss Zhou casually. “But I was the one who communicated with the design team.”

Yan Shuyu was now enlightened. So it was the boss’s idea to decorate this place to her liking! Pleasantly surprised, she threw her arms around the boss and asked, “So it was your idea? What prompted you to use this design?”

Looking at the blingbling style, Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but wonder if there was also a little princess residing inside of the boss.

As though he could read her mind, Zhou Qinhe gave her a glance and said nonchalantly, “I figured this is what you’d like after I have seen your place.”

Yan Shuyu blinked in surprise. “You have someone designed this place based on my old place?”

She still couldn’t quite figure it out. There was nothing similar between her last place and this one.

But the boss had already confirmed it so Yan Shuyu bought into it. She appreciated it even more. Rocking the boss’s arm back and forth, her voice was sweet like it had been coated with honey. “I’ve read online that it’s very tedious and painful to communicate with the designers. Thank you so much.”

Now she understood how much work the boss had put into this.

He could be completely hands-off, but he insisted on being an active participant. Knowing that he had put so much thought into it made Yan Shuyu even happier.

Boss Zhou, as much as he looked as indifferent as he could be, was secretly enjoying her admiration for him. He smiled and said, “Oh yeah, how are you going to thank me then?”

“I can give you an award,” replied Yan Shuyu without giving it much thought. “Friend of Girls.”

She felt for sure that the boss would understand what she meant by that. Nevertheless, Boss Zhou, who had always been nonchalant, twitched his life. He gave her a mortified look. “Who is this girl?”

Yan Shuyu stuck out her chest proudly. She was so young and pretty. Not only was she a girl, she’s a pretty girl at that.

Boss Zhou, “……”

Even his eyelids twitched this time, and he quietly switched the subject. “Never mind about the award. Your appreciation will have to do.”

“Oh, don’t worry about it.” Yan Shuyu was still pressing for it. “I can order it from Taobao. It can be a badge, a trophy, or a flag and be mailed to your doorstep. It’s very convenient.”
