The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 80 – What Was Going Through the Boss’s Mind? (3)

At first, Yan Shuyu was a little worried and wondered if her not-so-gentle message might have annoyed the boss. But after 2-3 days had passed and there was still nothing from the boss and he hasn’t shown up in the shop, Yan Shuyu started to feel better and forgot about the entire incident.

But, right when she felt relieved, she received a second message from the boss out of the blue. The content was confusing as well. It asked if she has been busy with work lately. To which Yan Shuyu replied with a standard “Quite. Thanks for asking.” And then that was that.

His third message was even simpler. He didn’t even bother with any pleasantries, but merely sent a picture of the little male lead attentively practicing his piano with his back straight.

Needless to say, this was the boss man bragging about his son to her and achieving the intended result. After all, it was not possible for Yan Shuyu to tell how good the male lead was with the piano from the picture, but she could tell in one glance that the piano he was playing on was a Steinway, the legendary Rolls Royce of pianos. Even the base model could easily cost in the millions. She has never seen the male lead’s one in the market either, so it might have been a custom made one. It could truly cost as much as a Rolls Royce.

Even though both little boys were starting to practice piano, the male lead’s first piano was a Steinway and her son was using a second hand electric one that he received as a gift. As upbeat as Yan Shuyu was, she still felt a little envious. She tried to comfort herself by thinking; so what? My son is about to become a piano prince and climb his way to the top. It was not necessary to be envious or jealous of the male lead.

But, for the sake of being nice to the boss man, Yan Shuyu still responded to his message with three thumbs up.

Then, the boss dropped off the surface of the earth again.

She was being so nice, and he didn’t even bother sending her a thank you back.

Now, Yan Shuyu was completely baffled. What exactly was the boss’s intention?

Some men might just be too innocent to know how to properly court a girl and everything ended up backfiring on them, but from Yan Shuyu’s cool observation of Zhou Qinhe, he certainly wasn’t someone who didn’t understand what romance was. Oh, he knew that quite well. When he went on a date with Miss WRP, he knew to take her to this somewhat well-known internet sensation shop. He even knew to ask for specific songs to create the atmosphere to appeal to the woman. See how good he was with this?

And yet, his actions were so inexplicable when it came to her. That could only be one possible explanation – that he wasn’t interested in her at all. Whether it was going to the movies with her or adding her to Wechat, he was just messing around with her to kill time.

First, he used her as a tool to keep his son company, then she had further slipped to the status of being his toy. Thinking about it that way hurt her ego. The original owner was at least the proper Mrs. Zhou, so how come when it came to her, she wasn’t even treated like a human being?
