The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 263 – The New Place (2)

As soon as she was done talking, Boss Zhou had held her by her hand and started up the stairs. “Don’t you want to check out the bedrooms upstairs first? Weren’t you envious of the home theater that Manager Yang has? I’ve put one in our place as well.”

Yan Shuyu, who’s attention had already been drawn to the bedrooms and home theater, did not notice the boss’s word choice. Yes, in just a few minutes’ time, she still figured out what he meant to tell her.

Once they were upstairs, Yan Shuyu and the two little kiddos followed the boss and checked out the rooms one by one. According to the boss, there was a piano room, kids’ bedroom, animation room, etc. and a few guest rooms, just in case.

The upstairs was relatively quieter. Going down the hallway in order was the home theater, study, and bedrooms. Her bedroom was the one located at the very end with the best lights.

The master bedroom was huge, almost the size of a suite in a hotel. There was a retreat inside of it along with a huge walk-in closet. The bathtub inside the bathroom was double sized. The kind that the little male lead could easily swim inside of it. The patio was amazing as well. Its size notwithstanding, there were already flowers and other leafy plants there. There was a set of tables and chairs in the middle along with a smart sun umbrella. It looked more like a terrace than a patio.

This was 100 times fancier than her little buddy’s place. Yan Shuyu was stunned, but just when she was swallowed by joy, she noticed that something was wrong.

Secretary Lu had very good attention to details. Even when they were touring downstairs, Yan Shuyu had already noticed that not only was the remodeling brand new along with new furniture, all of the daily essentials were also complete. From kitchenware to utensils to towels in the bathrooms, etc. etc.

The bedrooms were even more so. Never mind the bedsheets and blankets, there were also all sorts of cosmetics and skincare products on the vanity table. The collection was more complete than a counter at a department store. Particularly the skincare products, they were all of the brands that she couldn’t afford in the past.

Yan Shuyu was mostly excited when she saw all these personal items. As much as she already owed the boss, she had stopped worrying about it. She was already going to live in the luxurious mansion that the boss has rented for her, so what’s some makeup and skincare products?

Secretary Lu was such a thoughtful person, or that it was all the boss’s idea for her to do so. Anyways, perhaps even her clothes would be ready for her and all she needed to do was to move in here with just her purse.

Yan Shuyu was stunned when she went over to the walk-in closet.

The walk-in closet was as complete as the rest of the house. There were clothes, shoes, and purses. Yan Shuyu was startled when she noticed that other than the pretty clothes and accessories, half of the closet was occupied by men’s clothing.

Why were there men’s clothing?

Yan Shuyu had a bad feeling all of a sudden. She turned and looked at the boss. “Em… do you plan on staying here as well?”

The two of them were the only ones inside of the bedroom right now. Zhang Yuanjia and Zhou Yi were happily rolling around on the soft carpet of the kid’s bedroom, not wanting to leave. As Yan Shuyu gave the boss the look of her questioning the meaning of life, the boss merely nodded nonchalantly, “Mmm.”

Just like that, he had admitted to it shamelessly. Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but ask again, “Why?”

“Why do you mean why?”

She had wanted to confront the boss about why he said he had rented this place for her if he really rented it for himself. But, right before she said anything, she realized that when she had questioned about “this place being too big for just her and her son”, the boss did not respond. He may have misled her on purpose, but mostly she was tricked because she had filled in too much of the details herself. The boss didn’t really do that much to fool her.

She had focused so much on being able to take advantage of the boss that she never stopped to think how it could be so easy.

The words were at the tip of her tongue when she realized that she didn’t have the ground to stand on. Her stance weakened, she asked softly, “Well, if you are going to stay here yourself, I guess it won’t be wasteful after all. Do I… still need to move here?”
