Title: The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother
Translator: Fringe Alpaca
Chapter 65 - Popcorn and Ice Cola = Double The Pleasure (1)
Yan Shuyu, whose body was being very honest as she was declining him verbally, finally followed the boss into the mall. And the reason she gave herself was that her $1,000 worth of clothes were in his hand!
Even though they probably weren’t even good enough to be used as rags for the boss, they were bought with Yan Shuyu’s hard-earned money. Not to mention she had tried each and every single one of them on and like them all very much. She might be able to ditch the boss and dash, but she couldn’t throw away her loot of the day. That was her bottom line.
As such, Yan Shuyu had no choice but to follow Zhou Qinhe as she comforted herself; just because we’re going to a movie together doesn’t mean he’s interested in me. After all, didn’t the boss just have a date with Miss WRP, and right in front of her no less? If the boss had the intention to court her, surely he’d never had done that.
The fact that Yan Shuyu was so confident was because she had read the novel, and knew that as much as the male lead’s father was two-faced, and toyed with everyone like a cat toying with a mouse, there was one thing about him that instakilled all other CEOs – that he was not a promiscuous player.
Perhaps, those who enjoy high powers didn’t care that much about physical desires. Specifically, he was married to the stepmom for 20 or so years and never had any affairs on the side. He was the model husband in the circle. Everybody always thought that what he had for his wife was true love, which was why he seemed to have more fondness toward his stepson. To a point that toward the end of the fight for inheritance, there were those who would take the risks and hedge their bets with the stepmom and stepson instead of the real son.
In the end, after the male lead had won that battle and sent the stepmom into jail, the male lead’s father regained his status as a single man. Even though the family business had transferred to the male lead and male lead’s father had retired to enjoy his golden years, he was the patriarch of a prominent family that had existed for tens of years. His personal assets and investment most definitively exceed that of the male lead’s. Being in possession of money, time, and being single, he was definitely a well sought after bachelor.
Doing a reverse calculation from the male lead’s age, when “she” went out of the picture, the boss was probably only around 50 or so, not even 60. Even when he was so busy with his work right now, he still found the time to keep in shape and has all 8 abdominal muscles.
One could only expect that he’d only looked about 30/40 when he was in his 50s. That was like his prime. With his qualifications, if he wanted to look for second, er no, third romance, he could have his pick. Yet, even up to the male lead meeting his one and only at age 30 and having their 2 children in 3 years, the male lead’s father was still a single handsome man with no woman by his side. Quite the contrary, he had shifted to enjoying spending time with his grandchildren.
