Chapter 173 – Just like that, her first kiss with the boss engrained deeply into her mind. (2)

At 10 PM that night, after the long and arduous journey, Yan Shuyu was finally able to arrive at the front of her apartment. 

Zhou Qinhe parked at a temporary parking spot as usual before he removed his seat belt and looked like he was about to get out of the car with her. This time, Yan Shuyu didn’t politely decline him. 

Yan Shuyu was a girl with her own ideas. Now that Zhou Qinhe had kissed her, he belonged to her. To the extent that they were dating each other, he’d better give up the idea that she’d still be respectful to him like he was an exalted boss. Quite contrarily, Yan Shuyu’s mentality had shifted 180 degrees. She now expected him to be the boyfriend who’d bend over backward for her at all times – and if this new boyfriend was not quite prepared to do just that just yet, she’d be more than happy to help him get there. 

Luckily, Zhou Qinhe’s chivalry was carved into his bones. He’d always be that gentleman that he was and not someone who’d change for the worse as soon as he got the girl. That had saved Yan Shuyu a lot of hassle. 

As though they have some type of tacit understanding, both of them got out of the car at the same time. Yan Shuyu’s side was the pedestrian side. After she had gotten out of the car, she stopped after taking just one step and slowly adjusted her purse on her back. 

Now that the check that’d allow her to become an instant millionaire has already been taken away from her, her purse has returned to its original worthless state. But then again, she had, in exchange, gained herself a boyfriend who was so handsome that he made her knees feel weak. She was at least able to pat her little purse calmly before her newly redeemed boyfriend also walked over to her. 

Now that her mentality had shifted, she could better appreciate the boss from a different perspective – he was still in that elite type of suit that he was always wearing. The gentle smile on him made him look even more charming. He had a narrow waist and long legs, and he could stir up a breeze as he walked. He was ridiculously handsome. After she was done appreciating him, Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but look up and smile at him. Perhaps, it was the aftereffect of the kiss, her eyes were particularly sparkly right now. 

Truth was, their kiss really wasn’t all that romantic. Mainly because Yan Shuyu’s reaction was way too slow. Normally speaking, when someone was kissed so abruptly, they’d have recovered after the first few seconds. But that wasn’t Yan Shuyu. She maintained that stunned look on her and just stared at Zhou Qinhe the entire time. Such was the downside when she failed to carry out her theory practically. 

No matter how romantic that atmosphere was beforehand, it was all gone with her stunned look and intense stare. Zhou Qinhe, not able to continue the kiss, switched to touching her forehead with his and started chuckling while maintaining that position. He chuckled like that for a whole minute straight. So long that it started to give Yan Shuyu the creeps. 

He then sat back up and drove her home. 

One way or another, this was their first kiss. As much as it was light like a feather, it still left a lasting impression in both of their hearts. Plus, that was only 20 minutes ago. The effects brought about by the intimacy was still there, which was why she was looking at Zhou Qinhe in a lingering and attentive way that she didn’t even notice it herself. But, Zhou Qinhe, standing in front of her, noticed all of this.

After he looked at her with an equally attentive gaze for a few seconds, Zhou Qinhe slowly put on a smile. There seemed to be an entire starry field in his eyes, sparkling in the night sky. 

He reached out his hand to her as he chuckled and Yan Shuyu took his hand without hesitation. 

Yan Shuyu only realized the benefits of being in a relationship after she held the boss’s big hand with hers. Holding a man’s warm and large hand was 100 times better than holding a warm water bottle on a chilly night like this. 

“So warm,” exclaimed Yan Shuyu as she held the boss’s hand with both of hers, completely forgetting the fact that she had become very passionate as soon as their relationship had been established. She was borderline taking advantage of him. Nor did she notice that how she was behaving right now was the exact opposite of her high and mighty persona back when she was trying to turn him away.
