A warm sensation touched her face, and Zhu Qianying thought it was her son's hand. "Baby, stop it..."

But soon she noticed something was wrong; the little guy's hands were warm and soft, always like warmed cotton.

But the slightly rough touch on her face clearly told her that this hand did not belong to her son, but to his father.

Zhu Qianying turned her face away, trying to shake off the hand, but it seemed to have an adhesive force; wherever she turned her face, it moved in that direction.

"Baby, go and get some blankets for Grandma and Grandpa too..."

Yan Han's gentle voice rang in Zhu Qianying's ears again, and the little guy responded with "Okay..." and patted Zhu Qianying's head with his little hand, just as Zhu Qianying patted his head to comfort him.

The support under Zhu Qianying's head was suddenly removed, but the hand that was pressed against her face remained tightly pressed against her cheek.

"Dizziness?"

A large hand gently stroked her face to her forehead, the fingertips brushing against her skin, sending a faint electric current through her, making her tremble slightly. Moreover, it subtly stirred up a kind of pleasurable memory that had been dormant within her for several years.

She was drunk, so drunk that she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

Thinking this to herself, she lowered her head like an ostrich, afraid that if she looked up, she would find, as in countless dreams, that it was all just a dream.

"Lean on me and rest for a while..."

The deep male voice sounded particularly alluring and captivating in the quiet night, accentuated by the gentle breeze and the tinkling of bells.

So much so that even though Zhu Qianying clearly felt she shouldn't, she still inexplicably let him get closer, and then he gently pulled her into his arms.

The little one took out a blanket and covered the two of them tightly, wrapping them up in a warm ball.

Zhu Qianying drank quite a bit tonight, and with that Long Island Iced Tea from earlier, she's definitely a little drunk now.

Typically, when people are slightly tipsy, their nerves are most vulnerable, and they are most eager to seek support.

At this moment, all she could hear were familiar voices whispering in her ears, all she could smell was a comforting scent, and behind her was a warm and solid chest...

These include familial love and romantic love, which are things she has longed for since childhood but has never been able to obtain.

Since he's drunk.

For now, let's indulge ourselves this once and let ourselves enjoy it all in peace, even if it's all an illusion, a mirage. Let her indulge in this fabricated fantasy for once!

Slightly tipsy, Zhu Qianying thought to herself, and unusually, she let down her guard and nestled tightly into Yan Han's arms without any reservations.

"Huh? Can't two people share one blanket...?"

The little guy came out carrying another blanket. When he saw his parents wrapped together like conjoined twins, he didn't feel disgusted or dissatisfied. He just sighed in surprise and then walked over to Yanbo with the blanket.

She then pointed to her parents' side and said innocently, "Grandpa and Grandma, you can also share a blanket like my daddy and mommy..."

Madam Yan pursed her lips, suppressing a smile. This little guy, is he trying to slack off, or is he trying to help his daddy and mommy show off their affection?

"Sure, of course..." Yanbo chuckled, quickly taking the blanket from the little guy and patting his head. "Thank you, Zizai!"

Zizai replied in his childish voice, "Grandpa, you're too kind. Being filial to elders is a virtue that children should have!"

After speaking earnestly to Yan Bo, the little guy looked at Chen Jing and asked, "Grandma, can Zizai share a blanket with you?"

Chen Jing was more than happy to agree and nodded repeatedly, "Of course! It'll be warm for the two of us to share a blanket!"

Chen Jing wasn't unaware that her daughter and Yan Shao were embracing, but after staying here for two days, she had witnessed and experienced many things firsthand, and some of her prejudices and thoughts gradually began to waver.

Yan Han is Zizai's father, and that is a fact that no one can change.

Yan Shao had deeply hurt his daughter, and she knew it.

But his daughter, who left so many years ago, is still all alone.

Does that mean that the daughter still has feelings for Yan Shao?

Previously, she had a lot of prejudice against Yan Shao, thinking he was probably a scumbag like Zhu Zhizhou.

Yan Shao's behavior lately, whether towards his son or daughter, has been impeccable, and it's easy to see that he cares deeply for his daughter.

Putting aside the fact that he had hurt his daughter in the past, based on his current performance alone, he is definitely on par with his son-in-law Ji Huan.

After thinking it over, Chen Jing decided that she should interfere less in her daughter's and Yan Shao's affairs and let everything take its natural course.

After all, if their daughter's marriage to Yan Shao could still be saved, it would be the best outcome for their son, Zizai.

Chen Jing kept glancing at the young couple, while Madam Yan, sitting next to her, felt her heart leap into her throat.

It's well known that mothers-in-law are always the most formidable force in breaking up couples. If her son can't get past Chen Jing, his journey to win her back will become even longer and more difficult.

When she saw Chen Jing glance at the young couple a few times but quickly retreat back to lean against the cushion and wait patiently for the baby's blanket, Old Madam Yan's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled down.

“Ah Jing, we’re going back to Beijing on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Why don’t you come along? The old man wants to find a fortune teller to calculate Zizai’s fortune and give him a name.”

Madam Yan has always treated Chen Jing with great respect, unlike the arrogant and snobbish attitude of the other concubines in the Zhu family.

This mutual respect touched Chen Jing, and she felt even more strongly that such a family atmosphere was excellent for both her son and daughter. Rather than letting her daughter find someone else, she thought it better to try to rekindle her relationship with Yan Shao.

Of course, these were just Chen Jing's thoughts; she didn't intend to say them aloud, nor did she intend to interfere with her daughter's choices.

In any case, no matter what her daughter chooses, her mother will always stand by her side and support her!

"Let me think about it some more. The new store is going to start renovations soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave then."

The designer Qin Xiu introduced did not meet with Zhu Qianying and her daughter that day, but was led to the site by staff from Yanhuang Group who were in charge of the leasing. They said that a first draft would be provided in two or three days, and once both parties had agreed on the design plan, the renovation could begin immediately.

Therefore, everything Chen Jing said was true.

But Madam Yan knew that these were all just excuses.
