After that, Yan Shao didn't say anything more to Zhu Qianying, because his phone kept ringing non-stop. Judging from the content of the conversations, they were all work calls, from clients to Qin Xiu.

Yan Shao finally managed to hang up the phone after the car arrived at the hospital parking lot.

Zhu Qianying got out of the car first, and holding onto the car door, she said to Yan Shao, who was about to get out, "Yan Shao, you're so busy, you don't need to come up with us."

Yan Shao insisted on getting out of the car, walked to her side, and whispered in her ear, "Aren't you afraid that Zhu Junzhao will harm your mother?"

Zhu Qianying glanced at the driver who was protecting her mother, "Isn't Brother Chen here?"

As if he hadn't heard her, Yan Shao raised his hand and gently patted her lower back. "Don't worry, I'll support you."

Zhu Qianying remained silent and quickened her pace toward the hospital entrance.

However, with his superior natural advantages, Yan Shao quickly caught up with him using his long legs.

"My mom will be back in a few days." Yan Shao casually put one hand in his pocket and looked at her sideways.

Zhu Qianying also turned her head to look at him. Could it be that his accompanying her to the hospital today was actually at the behest of Old Madam Yan?

"Wasn't she going to attend a younger relative's wedding and take a trip on the side?"

Zhu Qianying remembered that this was how Uncle Hai explained it to her at the time.

"Yes, she's back to prepare for the wedding."

"Oh..." I see!

Neither she nor Young Master Yan cared much about the wedding, so it was only natural that Old Madam Yan had to rush back to handle it.

After walking for a while, she felt that Yan Shao's gaze had never left her, so she turned her head to meet his eyes again and said.

"I will visit your mother after she returns."

Yan Shao remained silent, turned his face away, and refused to look at her again.

Zhu Qianying watched as his emotions plummeted from a great height to the ground, feeling bewildered and utterly powerless.

At this moment, she felt a little worried and confused.

After marriage, how will she live with him day and night?

As they stepped out of the elevator, Yan Shao walked in front. Before Zhu Qianying could even see what was happening, Zhu Shaofen's loud voice came from the other side of the corridor.

"Oh, look who's here! It's Young Master Yan!"

Zhu Qianying felt her mother flinch beside her, so she quickly reached out and took her arm to encourage her, "Mom, don't be afraid, she won't dare to do anything to us."

Since being bullied badly by Zhu Shaofen and her sons, Chen Jing usually hides in her bedroom when she's at the Zhu family home. She tries to eat with her daughter as much as possible and minimizes her time alone with them. Sometimes, when she can't avoid it, she pretends to be deaf and dumb.

During this time, Zhu Qianying also instilled in her mother a lot of ideas such as "kindness is often taken advantage of" and "no matter who protects you, it is more important to become strong yourself."

However, Chen Jing, who had been bullied for more than 20 years, had the idea of ​​change, but her inherent cowardice could not be changed overnight.

Yan Shao, who was originally walking in front, stopped after hearing Zhu Shaofen's shout. He turned around and looked at Zhu Qianying. Only when she and Chen Jing walked up to him did he reach out and put his arm around Zhu Qianying's shoulder. "Let's go!"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Zhu Qianying and walked toward the group of people standing in the corridor.

Zhu Qianying then realized that the corridor was quite lively, with all of their children present, in addition to her aunts.

In other words, all of Takeozumi's four sons and six daughters, except for Koyu, are present at the moment.

This scene is just like a family inheritance dispute. It's just a broken arm, is it really necessary to make such a big fuss?

Zhu Qianying smiled slightly and greeted the older women.

As for her older brothers and sisters, she simply smiled and nodded, which was enough to acknowledge them all.

Yan Shao stood in front of everyone with his arm around her as a protector. Zhu Shaofen glanced at the mother and daughter, her eyes clearly showing disdain and contempt, but she dared not say anything in front of Yan Shao.

"Young Master Yan, you are so thoughtful. You are so busy, yet you still made a special trip to visit your future father-in-law. He is undergoing a check-up and will be out in a few minutes."

Yan Shao glanced at her coldly, "I'm just with my girlfriend!"

The implication was clear: Who does Zhu Zhizhou think he is? Why should I come to visit him?!

Zhu Shaofen was taken aback, looking embarrassed, and chuckled as she tried to smooth things over, "Young Master Yan is such a good man..."

Yan Shao didn't even glance at her, turning his head to Zhu Qianying and saying, "My mom said your wedding photos are especially beautiful. Even before A-Jian finished editing them, she was already clamoring for A-Jian to make a copy for her."

Zhu Qianying couldn't tell whether Yan Shao's words were true or false. Perhaps he just said them to spite Zhu Shaofen.

"Really? Now that you mention it, I'm curious too."

Regardless of whether Yan Shao's words were true or false, Zhu Qianying still cooperated with Yan Shao's acting very tacitly, speaking while deliberately moving closer to Yan Shao.

Yan Shao winked at the driver who was standing on the other side and had been closely following Chen Jing, "Bring me my iPad!"

Chen Ge deftly opened his bag, took out Yan Shao's iPad, and handed it over.

Yan Shao released his arm from Zhu Qianying's shoulder, opened his iPad as if no one else was around, clicked on a file, and handed it to Zhu Qianying, saying, "Take a look for yourself!"

Zhu Qianying looked at the screen with some skepticism, only to see that the photo on the screen was a picture of her and Yan Shao sitting on a galloping horse.

In the photo, she tilts her head slightly upward, sunlight shining on her face, reflecting a faint, rainbow-like light that makes her look incredibly pure and radiant.

The man behind her, his face slightly turned, gazed intently at her. His face shone with a similar light, but his aura and presence were completely different from hers. As she stared at him in the photograph, she was overwhelmed by a powerful, commanding presence that seemed to leap off the page.

"These are photos that Ah Jian edited?"

Zhu Qianying couldn't recall ever having looked at her with such focused and affectionate eyes.

Moreover, the striking presence of myself and the imposing heroic aura of Young Master Yan didn't seem like the effect of a filming.

Yan Shao leaned over to take a look at the photo, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "You also think it's been edited?"

Zhu Qianying nodded. Without some kind of treatment, how could there be such a dreamy and romantic atmosphere?

Yan Shao shook his head. "No, this is the original footage."

Zhu Qianying looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt, and Yan Shao explained again.

"Ah Jian is a very famous photographer. He is famous because he knows how to capture light and shadow. He can grasp and capture the subtle balance and conflict between light and shadow in an instant and take these photos that look like dreams."

Zhu Qianying nodded as if she understood, but she never knew that Young Master Yan could be so patient with someone.

And she, of course, attributed his patience to the fact that it was just to put on a good show for Zhu Shaofen and the others.
