When Yan Shuyu was in a session that afternoon, the newly-hired receptionist came looking for her excitedly. “Miss Yan, there’s a man asking for you outside!”

Even though Yan Shuyu had turned into Instructor Yan now, but she didn’t mature much more than she was before. She could tell from the look on her colleague that the man she was talking about must be extremely handsome.

The receptionist had met the boss before and she would not have referred to him as “a man”. She would have said her boyfriend was there. So that must be an extremely handsome met that she had not met before.

Zhou Qinhe unfurrowed his brows as he looked at her and asked, “Now that we have had the last issue figured out, should you have an answer for me then?”

Yan Shuyu was so startled that she took a step back. She was so confident in herself on her way over. How would she to know that the boss was so in love with her that he was willing to give up his face and self-esteem as a member of a prominent family? Now she had no choice but to carry on with the stalling. “I, I need some more time to work up to that.”

Yan Shuyu felt very accomplished on this Christmas Eve; nevertheless, she was aware that all she did was bought herself a little more time. She had not completely quelled the boss’s idea to get married. The revolution was still ongoing, and all comrades needed to keep up their hard work.

But what could she do to make the boss give up on this horrible idea? Yan Shuyu spent a lot of time mulling over that one after she had gone home. Finally, she decided on self-deprecation. She was to volunteer her dark past to him voluntarily – not the time when she had taken advantage of the boss at Hotel Dorsett when he was drunk. Their entanglement started after that and it was possible that the boss had already filed that under the beautiful-encounter category. There was no point in bringing that up.

“I want to… really give it some thoughts,” said Yan Shuyu weakly.

Her intention was to drag it out as much as she could. Boss Zhou might not have been fooled by that, but he still responded with an “okay.”

Yan Shuyu was very happy. The boss must really be head over heel over her, to not be mad at her even after this.

Nevertheless, now was not the time to be complacent. Remembering all the eyes that were locked on the two of them Yan Shuyu felt a headache coming on again. She couldn’t help but passed the buck over to the boss and asked him in a low voice. “But with this whole grand gesture, if I say I need some time to think it through, would that make others think that we are over?”
