Chapter 166 – Aren’t you going to ask me why I want to return the check? (1)

Yan Shuyu, who thought they were only there for some porridge was a little stunned. She asked as soon as the servers had left. “You ordered that many dishes?”

Zhou Qinhe casually scooped out a bowl of porridge and put it in front of her as he smiled at her and said, ‘You don’t like it?”

“It’s too much,” said Yan Shuyu as she rubbed her tummy, feeling some pressure. “I’m just worried that I won’t be able to eat too much.”

“Then just have a little bit of everything,” said Zhou Qinhe gently. “Just think that you are here to keep me company.”

The boss seemed to have already said for her to keep him company earlier, but Yan Shuyu didn’t pay it much attention. Now that he had repeated himself, she reflexively asked him, “You haven’t had dinner yet?”

“I came looking for you as soon as I got out of my meeting.”

The boss said it ever so casually, but Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but read a lot into it.

There was a very big difference between him suddenly being in the mood to get a late-night snack with her versus him looking for her to have dinner with him after working overtime. At least in Yan Shuyu’s mind, the latter was something that should only take place between a couple, or at the very minimum, two people who were fond of each other.

Yan Shuyu blushed a little. But then she glanced over quickly at her purse and was calmed again. She wasn’t here on a date with the boss today.

Yan Shuyu had some porridge calmly and ate a lot of the other dishes before she rubbed her stomach, which was now so full that it was about to explode. She took a look over at the boss sitting next to her. When she decided that he, too, was about done eating, she put down her chopsticks and cleared her throat. “Em… there’s something that I want to talk to you about.”

Zhou Qinhe wiped his mouth and gave her an elegant smile. “Oh? What is it?”

Yan Shuyu quietly pulled out the check that she had treasured. She thought long and hard but still couldn’t figure out how to broach this subject with the boss. Finally, she decided to just start from the beginning. There was no way he’d fight her over the check anyway. She could perfectly use the check to lead into what she wanted to say to him.

With the check in her hand, she concisely told him about the rich woman showing up at her work place, offered her certain conditions and that they had come to an understanding, etc. etc. The boss’s reaction was relatively normal. He was very calm after hearing her recount of the event except that he, too, just like Manager Yang, asked a relatively odd question, “Who was it that you’ve talked to?”

“Em… your stepmom?” replied Yan Shuyu. Seeing the odd look on the boss, she quickly explained herself. “That is just my guess. Maybe she’s an elder in your family? I asked her if she’s your mother and she said ‘more or less’.”

Zhou Qinhe raised his brows and suddenly reached out his hand to her. “Let me see it.”

Yan Shuyu was a bit nervous. She worried that the boss would fight her over her check. After all, the check that was given to her by the rich woman was a cash check. Manager Yang had told her that it has no specific payee. Anyone can cash the check at the bank.

Then again, it was only 2 million yuan that they were talking about. The rich woman didn’t even blink an eye when she wrote it out. The boss, as the head of a prestigious family, has no reason to fight her over the check. So, she finally handed the check over to him reluctantly after a slight hesitation.

Zhou Qinhe took a look at the check and gave a meaningful smile. “The Qin’s…”

Yan Shuyu studied his look and was somewhat curious. “Aren’t they relatives of yours?”

“Of course not?”

“Then who are they?” They were not even related to him, but they’d jump out and offer her a check? What nice people they were!!

Zhou Qinhe didn’t answer her question directly. He merely gave her a look and said, “Do you really want to know?”

For some inexplicable reason, Yan Shuyu felt that the boss’s look seemed somewhat alarming. She shook her head, intimidated. “No… not really.”*

Yet the boss felt that she was very curious and insisted on clarifying it for her. “Do you remember I went to your coffee shop once with a girl?”

Yeah, the very first time. And his date was a White, Rich, and Pretty. Yan Shuyu nodded without hesitation, “Of course I do.”

Zhou Qinhe immediately casted her glance. Most likely it wasn’t exactly a look of approval for her exceptional memory. Yan Shuyu felt that the boss’s look was very loaded, but she couldn’t quite figure out what was the message behind it. Then she heard him carried on and laid it out for her. “Qin is the surname of that girl’s mother.”

Translator’s rambling: Good instinct, Yan Shuyu. Good instinct. =D
