Chapter 153 – How could she make the boss give up on her soon? (1)

Looking at how the boss was ready to give the challenge a try, Yan Shuyu felt very desperate – what could she do? She had already resisted the temptation of money and turned him down completely. It was almost like she was handed the CEO Boss & His Little Delicate Wife script. The more she snubbed him, the more he thought that she was genuine and pure and the more he wanted to court her.

And she must resist him all the way. If she accepted his courting, the cannon fodder stepmother arc would kick in in 20 years. If she was to accept the boss and become Mrs. Zhou, she would still be sent to jail by the male lead in 20 years’ time.

All in all, Yan Shuyu felt that she was dead meat one way or another. Well, maybe struggling a little would allow her a more merciful death.

Yan Shuyu quietly lit a candle for herself.

She wasn’t sure whether it was because she had remained silent for too long or that the desperate look on her was too authentic, Zhou Qinhe asked again, “What are you thinking?”

Yan Shuyu looked over at him a couple times and started pushing her luck madly. “I am thinking how many times I will need to turn you down before you will give up.”

Zhou Qinhe raised his brows a little. Not seeming displeased at all, he said with a very positive demeanor, “I don’t know either. You want to give it a try?”

“Mental resilience”, also known as mental tenacity, is a psychological term. It refers to the ability to mentally or emotionally cope with a crisis or to return to pre-crisis status quickly. And that was the state that Yan Shuyu was currently in. Even though they might spend a long time from this point forward between the boss courting her madly and her turning him down madly, but looking on the bright side, the boss was not that aggressive after all. As long as she still retained the right of refusal, then she could just keep on refusing him. So what if it’s long and drawn out? She may not necessarily be the one who’d lose at the end.

She thought to herself, well, the boss said it himself, that she could give it a try to find out where his bottom line was. Yan Shuyu stopped in her steps and said in a clear and direct way, “I am turning you down right now. No need to walk me any more. I can go upstairs by myself.”

Zhou Qinhe gave her a couple looks, possibly also surprised by her sudden new-found courage. But all he did was chuckle. “You sure about that?”

Had he not been smiling, Yan Shuyu would have folded in a second or less. But if the boss was smiling, that meant he wasn’t really upset at her. Encouraged, Yan Shuyu kept her neck stiff and said without hesitation, “Absolutely, most certainly so.”

“Oh, alright then.” He gave her a few more looks and finally gave in with a look of resignation. “I had planned on going upstairs to say hi to Yuanbao, but since you are so adamant about it, I suppose not.”

The more regretful Zhou Qinhe looked, the more excited Yan Shuyu felt.

Yes, excitement was what she was feeling right now. She was about to break out singing “How The Table Has Turned”.

Oh boy, that was a long journey to get here. She had been avoiding the boss like a rat to a cat for months. Finally, she was able to put the boss in his place. Yan Shuyu couldn’t be prouder of herself. She even felt that being courted by the boss might not be that terrible of a thing after all.
