Translator: Fringe Alpaca
Chapter 169 - Boss Zhou, who could see a thousand steps ahead, met his Waterloo (1)
A man and a woman inside the car alone and the car doors wouldn’t open . The boss could do anything to her at any given moment . Yan Shuyu, who has a thorough understanding of her current situation, didn’t dare to try anything funny . She resorted to telling him the truth that she got a while ago . “You wanted me to return the check to send the message that you still want to pursue me . ”
Truth be told, as much as Yan Shuyu had an inexplicably overwhelming amount of self-confidence, it was still horribly shameful to say this out loud in front of the boss .
Which was why she fought him tooth and nail earlier!
After forcing herself to say all those words shamefully, Yan Shuyu quickly turned to check on Zhou Qinhe’s look .
Zhou Qinhe pursed his lips a little . Finally, there was a bit of a smile on his face . “You are finally done with playing dumb?”
When the boss smiled, the pressure within the cabin of the car relaxed a little . Yan Shuyu, too, was able to relax a bit . She purposefully ignored what he had said and asked him, somewhat courageously, “Can I go home now? It is really getting late . ”
“No,” said Zhou Qinhe as he politely informed her . “I have another question . ”

“……” Luckily Yan Shuyu stopped herself just in time . She almost slipped and said, “Yes, I have loved you once before . Next question . ”
But, by this time, under such an atmosphere, she had already been traumatized by the boss’s questions . She asked weakly, “What is your question?”
“Do you dare do it again next time?”
Oh . So he wasn’t planning on forcing her to accept him right here, right now . Yan Shuyu relaxed all of a sudden and her verbal diarrhea resumed . “Dare to do what? Accept a check?”
Zhou Qinhe asked, as though he was someone who had no comprehension of a commoner’s suffering, “Was it that hard to give it up?”

As the boss was asking her oh so sincerely, Yan Shuyu kindly nodded her head . Placing her hand over her chest, she said painfully, “That was my chance to become an instant millionaire overnight and you just nipped it in the bud . ”
If the boss had not clearly stated that he was pursuing her, she would for sure feel that he was doing this to her on purpose .
Hearing that, Zhou Qinhe stared at her intently for a while . Without warning, he said to her, “If you like checks so much, I can write one out to you too . ”
The boss is writing her a check!! Yan Shuyu felt that extremely hard to believe . Her eyes almost lost focus . But then, she quickly thought of something else . Her cheeks turned beet red, and she stuttered as she declined him, “Oh, nev…never mind . ”
From the light pouring inside the cabin of the car, her flustered cheeks could be seen clearly . Zhou Qinhe looked quietly at her .

She was only a little over 20 years old but had already experienced becoming pregnant before she had gotten married then losing her husband . Now she was a single mother who had to run around trying to keep the lights on . Even if she wasn’t exactly weathered by now, she should at least be more mature than others of her age .
But ever since the day that he had noticed her, she had always been an innocent girl that one could see right through . Especially when she was frantic right now, she looked even more like a girl who knew nothing about the world and had just fallen in love . Just like how it had always been described, even he felt that his heart had skipped a beat when looking at her .
He was close to 30 years old . Given his status and his look, he had been in a few relationships previously . He might not be particularly interested in being in another relationship, but he has needs and had dated a few women before . As far as his circle was concerned, he was someone with a lot of self-restraint .
But, all of those women, his ex-wife included, none of them had ever made him feel this way before . Back then, it was just that he was at the right age and his ex-wife checked all the boxes, so they got married .
All these years, this one sitting in front of him right now was arguably the only one he had ever proactively been interested in getting to know better .
