Zhu Qianying appeared nonchalant on the surface, but inwardly she was puzzled. Was it really necessary to be so angry just because she hadn't hosted Xing Bailun and the others at the Yan family's house?

Moreover, he has been arguing with her and getting angry with her less and less over the past two months, and she thought that he had completely lost his temper in front of her!

It turns out that he hadn't lost his temper; he had just restrained it slightly, or perhaps he had forcibly suppressed it.

"Young Master Yan, are you angry?"

Zhu Qianying has always been fearless and occasionally enjoys gloating.

Seeing that Young Master Yan was angry, she was overjoyed, and that sense of vengeful pleasure welled up inside her again.

Yan Shao glared at her, but still refused to acknowledge her.

"You want to show off your love? Didn't I just go along with it? Young Master Yan, what else is there to be unhappy about, what else is there to be angry about?"

Zhu Qianying is also thick-skinned. Anyway, Young Master Yan often kicks away those who have helped him, so she knows this trick too!

Yan Shao almost couldn't resist slapping her. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the urge to punish her that had been clamoring in his heart.

She rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "You think I didn't see through you? You're the one who wanted to show off! You took advantage of me and then turned around and said you were just putting on a show for me. You've got some nerve!"

Zhu Qianying, whose thoughts had been exposed, showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, she smiled and touched her face, saying, "Big face? No way, people always say I have a small face!"

To be honest, Young Master Yan hadn't seen her act so naively for quite some time.

No, to be precise, it's actually been five years since we last saw it.

Seeing the bright, sly smile on her face, he was stunned for a moment, and then his previous anger and frustration vanished instantly.

Before, he had been waiting, waiting for her to return to the way she used to be with him.

Perhaps it was because he had waited so long that even he himself had become somewhat disheartened.

But unexpectedly, she suddenly reverted to her former carefree and unrestrained manner of laughing, joking, and scolding.

Now, how could he still be angry?

I just wanted to rush over, hug her, and kiss her passionately to express my excitement and joy.

"Really? Let me see, is it really a small face?"

Yan Shao finally managed to suppress the impulse in his heart, reached out and pinched her cheek, then leaned closer to take a serious look.

Since she came to him of her own accord, he saw no need to be polite.

Zhu Qianying originally thought he was angry, so she teased him.

Unexpectedly, Young Master Yan's change of expression was faster than the face-changing act in Sichuan opera.

Can anyone tell her how Young Master Yan, who was just pursing his lips and fuming with anger, suddenly changed his demeanor and became a lecherous rogue again?

"Hey, you have to pay to pinch my cheeks!"

As soon as Zhu Qianying uttered those words, she wished she could bite her own tongue off as well. What kind of talk was that?

"Don't worry, I have plenty of money!" Young Master Yan's smile grew even wider.

He spoke lewd words and did lewd things, but his touch was extremely light. His fingertips gently caressed her smooth, silky skin, without a trace of lewdness. On the contrary, it made Zhu Qianying feel as if she were being treated with the utmost care and tenderness of a rare treasure.

Zhu Qianying tried her best to calm her racing heart and make herself appear as nonchalant as usual.

"I don't want the money, I just want the person!" she said flippantly, raising her eyebrows as she looked at Young Master Yan.

Young Master Yan wore a smug smile and was about to speak when Zhu Qianying, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, immediately added, "I only want the small one, not the big one!"

Young Master Yan still smiled broadly, "It's alright, our store always offers a buy-small-get-one-free deal! We're honest and fair to all!"

Zhu Qianying choked on her breath and almost choked to death!

Yan Shao's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he quietly looked at her, seemingly patiently waiting for her answer.

Seeing that she remained silent for a while, he finally said, "Well, have you made up your mind? If you have, I'll arrange delivery immediately."

Zhu Qianying snorted, "Fine, I don't want them anymore, neither the small nor the big one!"

Yan Shao withdrew his hand and said smugly.

"Sorry, the system has automatically arranged delivery. Once the goods have been delivered, they cannot be returned or exchanged!"

Such back-and-forth conversations were nothing more than lighthearted banter.

But they all knew very well that these half-joking and half-serious remarks were a reflection of the relationship and current situation between the three of them.

In fact, Yan Shao was right. From the moment he delivered this item to Zhu Qianying five years ago, he would not accept any reason for return. However, he did not realize it at the time.

Once he realized this, naturally, he had to do everything in his power to please the buyer, trying his best to make her unable to find a reason to return the goods, and ideally, to make her unwilling to return them!

Zhu Qianying despised the shameless Yan Shao. But despite her contempt, she became increasingly tolerant of his persistent shamelessness.

She inwardly cried out in alarm; if this continued, it would be almost inevitable that she would succumb once again.

The problem is, even as she watches herself slowly sink deeper into the mud, her resolve to escape grows weaker and weaker.

The rope in my heart, constantly tug-of-war, seemed to be about to break under the strain, just waiting for a "bang" to sound and snap!

"Fine, I won't accept your refund. I have my own ways of making the goods abandon their owner and run away from home!"

Since my resolve is weakening, how about I try using some nasty tricks to scare him away?

Zhu Qianying secretly applauded and cheered for this idea!

Little did they know, the goods had already made up their minds to stick to her no matter what and never give up!

Yan Shao looked at her, as if he could see clearly all the hesitation and wavering deep in her eyes.

"I can't guarantee the small one's safety, but the big one will definitely not abandon you."

Young Master Yan became increasingly adept at uttering such promises or vows, as if they came naturally to him.

"The younger one is my son, how could he abandon me?"

But Zhu Qianying firmly believes that everyone in this world may abandon her, but only Zizai will always be with her.

Therefore, she actually believes more in family ties than romantic love.

This time, Yan Shao stopped joking and instead looked at her very seriously.

"Ying'er, give me a chance, and give me enough time. I will prove to you that I will never abandon you, just like Zizai!"

Yan Shao hadn't made such a promise or confession for quite some time.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk about it, but that he was afraid that if he did, he would scare Zhu Qianying away.

But the atmosphere before him made him feel that this time, she probably wouldn't flee as hastily as before.
