Chapter 317 – Someone that she had no expected showed up. (3)

Yan Shuyu felt very accomplished on this Christmas Eve; nevertheless, she was aware that all she did was bought herself a little more time. She had not completely quelled the boss’s idea to get married. The revolution was still ongoing, and all comrades needed to keep up their hard work.

But what could she do to make the boss give up on this horrible idea? Yan Shuyu spent a lot of time mulling over that one after she had gone home. Finally, she decided on self-deprecation. She was to volunteer her dark past to him voluntarily – not the time when she had taken advantage of the boss at Hotel Dorsett when he was drunk. Their entanglement started after that and it was possible that the boss had already filed that under the beautiful-encounter category. There was no point in bringing that up.

Yan Shuyu wanted to tell him about her dark past of working for a year at a nightclub before she joined Hotel Dorsett where she had earned tips from accompanying other men when they drank.

She knew full well that it was her who did that, but now that she had transmigrated over and taken over the identify of the villainess stepmother, the original owner’s dark history was her dark history. Yan Shuyu felt that she might be able to use that as her ammunition.

The boss was, after all, someone of high status. He might be able to marry a commoner with a decent job, perhaps even one that had a child from a previous marriage, but certainly Mrs. Zhou could not be a woman with a questionable dark history?

As such, Yan Shuyu went to confess to the boss confidently. Her tone was extremely sincere. “You know… if you want to get married, there is something that you need to know.”

During his time off, Zhou Qinhe was sitting on the couch reading an English book. When he heard what she said, he closed the book on que, rested one of his hand over the other, and even looked up at her with anticipation. “Go on.”

Yan Shuyu went ahead and told him the whole story. She even wisely injected wealthy woman Madam Qin at the very end for added effect. “Don’t you rich people care a lot about stuff like that? Madam Qin had mentioned it to me in the past already. Someone with a complicated history like mine is not good enough to married into your family. Should we get married, you will turn into a laughingstock of others.”

With both emotions and rationality, Yan Shuyu felt for sure that she had done an impeccable job. The boss would, for sure, give up on his idea to get married. Lo and behold, all Zhou Qinhe did was smiled and said nonchalantly, “There is no need to bother ourselves with silly rumors. I doubt they will have the courage to say anything in front of me.”

Yan Shuyu froze instantly. That was not the reaction that she had expected. She couldn’t help but asked, “Don’t you feel shameful about it though?”

“Why should I?” Zhou Qinhe stood up with a smile on him. Looking straight at her tenderly, he said, “I know it hadn’t been easy for you, having to support yourself and the child. Yuanbao was also very young back then. It couldn’t be easy for you to get a normal job. I’m sorry that those few years had been so difficult for you.”

Having said that, he was about to walk up and put his arms around her.

Yan Shuyu didn’t feel that her days had been particularly difficult. The worst days were already over by the time she had transmigrated over. The days certainly were easy but that was only because she was comparing it to her life before she had transmigrated. How many adults in the workforce had a life that was much easier than hers? At the very minimum, she had been very lucky to have run into so many kind people who were nice to her and were willing to lend her a helping hand.

That being said, listening to the boss’s words and looking at the pitiful look in his eyes, Yan Shuyu was still very touched. She was short of throwing herself into his arms.

And why didn’t she do just that? Because the boss had also said something very alarming the same time he opened up his arms at her.
