Yan Shao followed Zhu Qianying upstairs. The bedroom door was already closed, of course. Yan Shao tried to open it with his fingerprint, but it wouldn't open. Clearly, Zhu Qianying had locked it from the inside.

Yan Shao wasn't in a hurry. He calmly took out his phone and sent a message.

"You saw that white jade cup yesterday? I took a picture of it!"

Soon, the sound of footsteps came from inside the door, and then the door clicked open, and Zhu Qianying's head peeked out from behind it.

"You really bought the cup?" His face was full of excitement, not a trace of annoyance.

Yan Shao nodded, "Yeah, I saw you put it in your shopping cart for so long, looked at it so many times but didn't buy it, so I accidentally took a picture."

Zhu Qianying quickly and obsequiously stepped forward, clinging to his arm and asking, "Has the seller shipped the goods yet? Why don't you check now?"

Young Master Yan was greeted by Zhu Qianying and led into the bedroom. She quickly grabbed an iPad and put it in his hand.

"Quick, look where the package is!"

Yan Shao took the iPad, opened the webpage, and when he entered the password to log in, he paused after entering two numbers, and looked up at Zhu Qianying.

"Let's get this straight: if you want the cup, you have to give up playing games."

Zhu Qianying nodded hurriedly, "Quit it, quit it right now, I'll quit it right now."

Yan Shao's fingers remained still, he only glanced at her sideways, as if waiting for her to make a more sincere move.

How could Zhu Qianying not understand? She quickly ran to get her laptop, typed away rapidly, and then clicked "confirm" on the software uninstallation option.

"Look, it's uninstalling!"

Yan Shao glanced at the progress bar on the computer screen, but his finger remained motionless. Clearly, he was waiting for Zhu Qianying to uninstall the entire game before he would enter the password.

Zhu Qianying also looked at him, and then suddenly remembered something.

"Young Master Yan, the game is already being uninstalled. At least let me see if you really took a picture of the cup, okay?"

Young Master Yan raised an eyebrow. "What, you don't believe me?"

Zhu Qianying neither said she believed it nor disbelieved it, but simply said, "Seeing is believing!"

Yan Shao paused for a moment, then tapped a few keys on the keyboard, pressed Enter, and quickly logged in successfully.

As soon as he clicked on the "Purchased Items" section, Zhu Qianying came over and looked at his page with hopeful eyes.

Zhu Qianying was slightly taken aback when she saw that there was only one column displayed above.

"Is this a newly created account?"

After asking the question, she immediately realized how incredibly stupid she had been.

Young Master Yan, a wealthy young master, eats food prepared by top-tier private chefs and uses and wears all custom-made items. Why would he need something like online shopping?

Besides, Young Master Yan is extremely busy; where would he find the time to idly browse the internet?

"Yes, it was opened just the day before yesterday!"

Actually, a few days ago, when Yan Shao saw He Zhu Qianying holding her computer and looking at the cup with a sigh, he had hinted to her that there was actually quite a bit of money on the card he had given her before, which was specifically for paying for Zizai's living expenses.

But when he checked the day before yesterday, he found that apart from the initial 5,000 yuan that had been withdrawn, the other payments he made to the card afterward were still intact.

Then, he used a little bit of his privilege to have someone check Zhu Qianying's account. He was surprised to find out how poor she was!

Thinking of the complex expression on her face when she looked at the cup—sometimes excited, sometimes worried that it would be snatched away at any moment—Yan Shao felt a pang of unease.

So I simply registered an account and took a picture of the cup.

He originally intended to give this as a birthday present, but it seems he won't be able to receive it now.

Moreover, even if he wasn't trying to coax her into uninstalling the game, he probably wouldn't have waited until her birthday to give it to her, because he probably couldn't bear the disappointment on her face when she saw the cup being taken away.

After confirming that Yan Shao had indeed bought the cup, Zhu Qianying generously wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Darling, thank you!"

Young Master Yan was slightly dissatisfied with receiving a thank-you gift from a little darling, but there was no rush. He would naturally have plenty of ways to get it back later.

"Don't thank me yet, what about the one on your phone?"

Yan Shao is not someone who is easily fooled. Seeing that the uninstallation progress bar on her computer had reached over 90%, he glanced at her phone, which she had casually placed on the coffee table.

"There's no mobile version!" Zhu Qianying said decisively.

Yan Shao is long past the age of playing games, and he doesn't have the time to play them either.

He wasn't sure if what she said was true or false.

To avoid being scammed, he opened the search page and asked, "Game name!"

Zhu Qianying pouted and reluctantly uttered a name.

Yan Shao typed in the game name plus the words "mobile version" and searched. He found that she wasn't lying; this mobile version was still in public beta.

It wasn't that Yan Shao didn't trust her; rather, he knew her too well.

He increasingly realized that she was someone who disdained to lie when it came to important matters.

But in some harmless little things, she was so good at lying that even a master of deception like Young Master Yan was often fooled by her.

In today's parlance, he's a little bit sly and mischievous.

Zhu Qianying was annoyed by Yan Shao's suspicion, so she leaned on his shoulder and bit him hard on the back of his neck.

Yan Shao winced in pain, but he didn't yell at her. Instead, he said slowly, "Baby, are you afraid others won't know how passionate you are?"

Zhu Qianying, who was still biting the back of his neck, quickly pulled away when she heard his words!

"I don't care. Anyway, everyone knows I'm afraid of my wife and I would never dare to go out and have fun. So, you can bite my face or my neck, it doesn't matter."

Young Master Yan wasn't joking; he genuinely didn't care. Just a few days ago, when this kitten bit his lip, he went back and Qin Xiu teased him in front of a large group of executives, asking if he had been bitten by the boss's wife. He readily admitted it.

"Yes, my wife bit me!"

In his view, this is just a kind of fun between husband and wife, what's wrong with talking about it?

That morning, the way people glanced at his lips, whether intentionally or unintentionally, was tinged with envy.

He didn't care, but Zhu Qianying did.

Ultimately, no matter how open-minded she is, she still retains some traditional ideas at her core.

No matter how much she and Yan Shao played around in private, she was still very careful about their boundaries in front of elders or others.

Therefore, upon hearing his words, she quickly relented.

Yan Shao thought she would give up, but to his surprise, she lifted his shirt, bent down, and bit his side.

After taking a big bite, she looked up and said triumphantly, "Let's see how you show off this time!"

Yan Shao's lips twitched. Utter defeat!
