Chapter 318 – Someone that she had no expected showed up. (4)
Zhou Qinhe unfurrowed his brows as he looked at her and asked, “Now that we have had the last issue figured out, should you have an answer for me then?”
Yan Shuyu was so startled that she took a step back. She was so confident in herself on her way over. How would she to know that the boss was so in love with her that he was willing to give up his face and self-esteem as a member of a prominent family? Now she had no choice but to carry on with the stalling. “I, I need some more time to work up to that.”
“Yanyan.” The boss placed both hands on her shoulders and, in a tone that was nonchalant but with a hint of terrifying authority, said to her, “I have waited long enough. I am going to give you three more days at most. You give it some more thoughts.”
Oh, brother. Was this an ultimatum coming from the boss? That he would break up with her if she didn’t accept his proposal? Yan Shuyu wanted to cry.
She normally would have folded under his wordless pressure already; nevertheless, marrying the boss was a matter of her bottom line. She stubbornly looked up at the boss and said, “I… can I have a week instead?”
Zhou Qinhe did not talk but looked at Yan Shuyu with a frown.
As much as Yan Shuyu was a timid person, she looked right back that the boss without bulging even a little.
It really wasn’t that she didn’t want to marry him. The boss was so rich that he was worth more than ten of her. What was that online saying nowadays? A death penalty after earning globs of money for three years was a worth tradeoff? If the original owner’s ending was the only thing she was taking into consideration, Yan Shuyu would probably already had lost her mind and accepted the boss’s proposal on the day of. Just think about it, she could marry the boss and had ten years of good life before going to jail. What was the big deal? She would be just fine by the time she got out of jail. It was totally a worthy tradeoff.
The problem arose because she couldn’t give up on her son just for the boss’s good look. Her son was very handsome too, and cute and sweet and talented. He had so much potential. How could she allow him to follow in his father’s footstep and end in a traumatic death just because he wanted to go all out on fighting over the inheritance with the male lead?
The boss might be as attractive as a Greek god, but that was still a bad tradeoff.
And that was how Yan Shuyu continued to ascertain her own confidence and she was finally able to withstand the boss’s almost palpable look.
Finally, Zhou Qinhe gave in and said with a frown, “Find, one week.”
Yan Shuyu nodded and they had reached an agreement.
That seemed to be the first time she had gained victory in a staring contest with the boss. Even so, Yan Shuyu didn’t feel particularly happy about it. She knew that her path would be very bumpy in the time that followed. She could tell from the boss’s attitude today that he was very fixated on the marriage issue.
It was all her fault for being so dang attractive.
But what was she to do next? Yan Shuyu truly felt that her hands were tied. As the deadline agreed upon inched up on her and she still hasn’t been able to come up with a plausible solution, Yan Shuyu had quietly prepared herself for the best and worst outcome and all that was left for her to do was to wait for the boss’s final verdict.
At this very moment, a person that she never would have imagined showed up.
