To be honest, she didn't want her mother to meet Yan Shao until she and he reached an agreement.

She was afraid that Yan Shao would say something inappropriate in front of her mother, and she was also afraid that her mother would overthink things.

"I'm already downstairs, come down!"

Yan Han ignored Zhu Qianying's refusal and hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

In this way, Zhu Qianying knew without even thinking that he had hired someone to follow her movements.

However, it makes sense when you think about it; Zizai is still in her hands, so she'll definitely be more careful.

After taking Zizai downstairs, they saw Yan Han standing next to the car. When he saw them come out of the elevator, he quickly went to greet them.

"mom!"

To Zhu Qianying's surprise, he actually called Chen Jing "Mom".

Chen Jing, like Zhu Qianying, was clearly surprised.

She glanced at Zhu Qianying somewhat helplessly, and then gave a vague and casual reply.

After greeting Chen Jing, Yan Han nodded to Zhu Qianyu, bent down, squatted down in front of Zizai, and touched his face.

What does Zizai want to eat for dinner?

Zizai instinctively hid behind Zhu Qianying. Yan Han seemed to be getting more and more used to his son's avoidance. He reached out and rubbed his head, stood up, and looked at Zhu Qianying.

"You guys must be pretty tired, how about we grab something to eat at that hotel across the street?"

Zhu Qianying was a little stunned. Neither the young master Yan in the past nor the young master Yan she met yesterday was this considerate.

Could it be that after one night, this person has become a different person?

Zhu Qianying was puzzled, but she still looked up at her mother and Xiaoyu.

"Mom, Xiaoyu, do you have any other ideas?"

"Zizai, is there anything you want to eat?" Chen Jing, being the most convenient, treated her grandson's choice as the last resort.

Little Zizai pointed to the hotel across the street, which was the hotel Yanhan had mentioned.

The hotel wasn't far from their accommodation, so they walked there directly. After walking a few steps, Yan Han bent down and asked the little guy again.

"Son, are you tired? Can Daddy carry you?"

Zizai is taller and more robust than his peers, so while Zhu Qianying and the others can easily carry him, it's still a bit difficult to carry him for a long distance.

However, for a grown man like Yan Han, this was a trivial matter.

Zizai was certainly tired. He had only slept for a short while in the car, nestled against Zhu Qianying, since leaving early that morning. So, when he heard Yan Han ask this, he hesitated, tilting his little face up to look at Zhu Qianying. Seeing that his mother didn't object, he nodded and replied, "Okay!"

Yan Han was very happy, bent down, and picked up his son.

"Mom, after dinner, let's stay at this hotel tonight. I'll have someone book a suite," Yan Han said to Chen Jing as soon as they sat down in the hotel's private room.

Chen Jing glanced at her daughter again, while Zhu Qianying was looking at Zizai, who was sleeping in Yan Han's arms.

This little guy, who had been silently resisting Yan Han when he was awake, was now sleeping soundly and sweetly nestled in Yan Han's arms.

It seems that blood ties are indeed a magical thing.

You know, this little guy, Zizai, doesn't easily let others hold him to sleep.

Even though he's so familiar with Cheng Ye, he rarely lets Cheng Ye hug him.

Cheng Ye often joked with Zhu Qianying, "Yingzi, your prince isn't actually your son, is he? If I hadn't seen him grow from a baby to this size, I would have thought he was your husband who was cursed and turned into this little brat."

Even someone as familiar as Cheng Ye was met with such wariness by the little guy, let alone other men who were even less familiar with him.

So, back in M, Chen Jing had worriedly mentioned to Zhu Qianying, "Ying'er, with Zizai like this, how big of a reaction will he have if you get a boyfriend?"

Zhu Qianying seemed quite indifferent, "Then I won't pay!"

She wouldn't tell her mother that all these years, she really had never even considered having a boyfriend.

Chen Jing and Zhu Qianyu were ordering food from the menu. Yan Han glanced at his sleeping son in his arms, then looked up at Zhu Qianying sitting beside him and asked, "What's your son's name?"

Zhu Qianying picked up her teacup and took a sip. "He didn't tell you?"

Yan Han shook his head. Although he had shared a bed with his son for so many days, the little guy's hostility towards him had not diminished much.

He said no...

Zhu Qianying was silent for a while, but then nodded. "He didn't lie to you. He really didn't."

When it comes to Zizai's name, Zhu Qianying herself has a somewhat inexplicable feeling.

At first, Zhu Qianying was unsure what surname to give Zizai. Should she give him the surname Zhu? Zhu Qianying herself did not have much affection for the surname "Zhu".

Making him take the surname Yan seems even stranger.

So, because she was unsure what surname to use, she eventually put her given name on hold and temporarily used Zhu-Zhu when applying for her name.

Yan Han, of course, was unaware of Zhu Qianying's subtle thoughts. When he heard her say no, he felt a secret thrill and looked up at her. "Then... shall we think about it together?"

Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment. In the past five years, she had never thought that she and the man beside her would have the opportunity to use related terms such as "we" or "together". She always believed that she and this man had no connection or relationship whatsoever.

So when she heard him say "together," her feelings were inevitably somewhat complicated.

She didn't respond, so Yan Han just kept staring at her. Finally, Zhu Qianying had no choice but to nod.

"Well, you guys should think about it too."

She wasn't fixated on names; he was Zizai's father, so it wasn't unreasonable for him to get involved in this matter.

Zizai will be going to school soon, so it's time to give him a proper name.

Upon receiving Zhu Qianying's response, Yan Han seemed quite pleased, nodding with a slight smile. "Okay, I'll ask my parents for their opinions when I get back."

After saying that, he asked Zhu Qianying, "What are your thoughts?"

"No!" Zhu Qianying shook her head. If she had, she would have gotten the baby ready long ago. Why wait until now?

The dishes were served quickly. Zhu Qianying shook the baby in Yan Han's arms awake and took him to the bathroom to wash his face.

"Mom, my mom misses you a lot. Let's get some time to have a meal together after you've had a couple of days off!"

Chen Jing was having a hard time dealing with her "former" son-in-law, who had suddenly become so amiable.

After all, this "former" son-in-law used to have such a strong presence; it seems he had never had such a casual, family-like conversation before.

Even if they exist, they are probably as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"Hmm...we'll see when the time comes..."

Chen Jing was unsure about her daughter's current relationship with Yan Shao, and dared not rashly agree to anything, so she could only give a vague response.

Zhu Qianying brought Zizai out; their conversation had ended.
