Chapter 195 – Miss Yan was even more powerful than how Louis and the others had described her (3)
That could be a problem. Yan Shuyu hesitated a little and said, “Perhaps I can go home first and placate him for a few minutes?”
It’s still three hours till his departure time. There should be plenty of time?
Zhou Qinhe shook his head and said, “Nah, it’s alright. It’d be almost midnight after you have seen me off. It’s too late and unsafe.”
Yan Shuyu’s first reaction was to look over at the chauffeur in the front. “Can’t he take me home?”
She knew the secretary would be leaving with the boss, but no way the chauffeur would be leaving too?
“Still no. I’ll worry about you,” said Zhou Qinhe softly into her ear, acting like the domineering CEO that he was for a change. “Plus, you are used to going to bed early. Staying up so late is difficult for you.”
Yan Shuyu blushed all of a sudden and started hesitating. She had more or less already accepted the boss’s reasoning. It’d be close to midnight by the time she was back home after seeing the boss off. Then she’d still have to wash up and get ready for bed. Even she worried that she wouldn’t be able to get up the next morning. Her work wasn’t too much of a big deal; she could always take the day off. The important part was that she needed to get up to drop her son off at the kindergarten.
Nevertheless, if she was too easily convinced, she worried that the boss was just being polite verbally and would be offended again if she backed off too soon. She was a little bit perturbed.
Zhou Qinhe, possibly saw through her thought process, smiled and said, “If you really feel bad about it, why don’t you come and pick me up from the airport when I return?”
Yan Shuyu, who was in a quandary, was convinced right away, “Okay!”
After they had happily reached an agreement, Yan Shuyu voluntarily opened up the car door and got out when the car stopped in front of her apartment building.
She had just gotten out of the car when she noticed that the boss had also gotten out of the car; except that he was standing next to the car and smiling at her.
Yan Shuyu turned around and looked at him for a few seconds before she had it figured out. She walked over to him proactively and gave him a big hug. “Have a safe trip and call me when you arrive in US.”
“Okay.” Her being just the perfect amount of docile apparently pleased the boss. Zhou Qinhe hugged her gently with a very pleased smile on his face. When Yan Shuyu tried to be sweet, she could do a very good job. It was just that she was goofy most of the time. Zhou Qinhe almost didn’t want to leave when she was being so sweet.
When they were hugging outside, Secretary Xu was crazily exchanging looks with Zhang Yang, the chauffeur. Look, the boss looked like such a gentleman, but when he’s in a relationship, he could totally be like those emperors who’d readily throw away their own country for the beauty. Here they thought he had something really important to go and take care of when he called off the company’s upper-management meeting. And all he did was to say goodbye to his super pretty girlfriend.
On top of that, the only thing that they had discussed on their ride back was whether or not she’d head to the airport with him – not even something of any value. Couldn’t they have discussed over the phone or WeChat? Was it really necessarily to talk about that in person like this?
All of these could be boiled down to one line: those in the city really know how to live their lives. Secretary Lu might look like a serious person, but she was just a high-level employee. To the extent that her boss didn’t care about the loss, she wasn’t going to feel bad for him. She was just here to eat melon and enjoy the entertainment.
That being said, Secretary Lu was wrong in her assessment of Boss Zhou. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do something more meaningful. But he was, after all, a gentleman. He couldn’t bring himself to be more intimate with Yan Shuyu when there were two others in the car with them. And now that they were standing in the middle of the busy street, all the more he wouldn’t do anything else. The two just hugged quietly, and it finally ended with Boss Zhou planting a kiss between Yan Shuyu’s brows.
