Zhu Qianying thought that the next day Yan Shao would come to her to fulfill his promise, "If you like, I can give it a try."
But since he took her back to the hotel that day, Yan Shao hasn't contacted her for two or three days.
While she found this somewhat strange, she felt mostly relieved.
It has to be said that Yan Shao's inconsistent behavior towards her during this period has made her increasingly unpredictable and has also made her feel inexplicably flustered and confused.
This feeling of panic and unease can be understood as hormones acting up, or to put it bluntly, it's actually a person's instinctive reaction to the opposite sex.
But Zhu Qianying didn't like this instinctive reaction!
Or to put it another way, she dislikes anyone who can make her lose control or is beyond her control!
In the first twenty years of her life, there were far too many unstable factors and far too few stable factors.
In her life, she has never been able to fight for many things for herself. Therefore, she is unwilling to add another unstable factor to her already extremely unstable life. Hence, she currently feels extremely averse to Yan Shao.
At the same time, she became even more stubborn, wanting to protect what was rightfully hers, which she already possessed in small quantities.
For example, my mom!
Ever since her mother spent the day with her father at the hospital, she came back beaming. Although she didn't dare to brag to Zhu Qianying, Zhu Qianying could imagine that her silly mother had been completely fooled by her father's empty promises and had lost all sense of reason.
However, in her nearly forty years of life, ever since she met that scumbag Dad, her mother has basically lost all sense of reason. This time, Zhu Qianying is waiting for her mother to suffer an even bigger setback with that scumbag Dad, so that she can completely give up on that idea.
Therefore, on the second and third days, Mom went to the hospital to visit Dad early in the morning, while Zhu Qianying just watched coldly, neither stopping her nor accompanying her.
My mother probably felt a little guilty and indebted to her daughter. These past few days, when she came back from the hospital, she was carrying a lot of delicious food that she had made herself.
I guess they borrowed a kitchen from the nearby Mingxuan Hotel to make it.
Zhu Qianying remained noncommittal about her mother's obvious attempts to please her. In any case, she would eat whatever her mother brought home without ever refusing or being polite. However, she rarely spoke to her mother and just coldly watched as her mother foolishly went to be her free caregiver every day.
On the third day, my mother came back at 2 pm, bringing back a large bowl of soup and several large boxes of Chinese pastries.
Zhu Qianying hadn't eaten lunch yet, so she drank two large bowls of soup and ate some snacks. Then she let out a satisfied burp and leaned back in her chair.
After my mind went blank for several seconds, my gaze fell on the half-full bowl of soup and the remaining snacks on the coffee table. Suddenly, I remembered the afternoon tea I had bought for that old man with tinea capitis a few days ago.
Zhu Qianying pouted, patted her stomach contentedly, and stood up. When her senses returned, she realized that she had already left the house with her backpack, the half-full bowl of soup, and the remaining snacks.
Sure enough, when you're full, you're more likely to act silly.
Zhu Qianying was speechless at her own body's spontaneous actions. She wanted to turn around and walk back, but then she remembered the scene of Yan Shao arguing with Zhu Haokang and Zhu Zhizhou in the hospital that day. Thinking about it, it was quite satisfying and cathartic.
Oh well, since Mom made all this anyway, I'll just consider it running errands and sending her a thank-you gift.
Zhu Qianying carried snacks and soup into Yanhuang Group. The receptionist was already familiar with this Miss Zhu who had visited several times. In addition, she had left with Young Master Yan a few days ago. Two or three of the receptionists had seen Young Master Yan's statement and were still not giving up. Now, seeing Zhu Qianying coming to the company to see Young Master Yan every few days, it was hard for them not to give up.
"Miss Zhu, Young Master Yan went out at noon and hasn't returned yet."
Even though she had given up hope and saw that Zhu Qianying had come up empty-handed, the receptionist was secretly pleased. She proactively reported Yan Shao's whereabouts while carefully observing Zhu Qianying's reaction.
Most women's psychology is often so subtle; even if they know they can't have it, they still secretly feel a sense of satisfaction when they see others suffer setbacks.
"OK, thanks!"
However, Zhu Qianying didn't care at all whether Yan Shao was there or not. She was just bringing him afternoon tea. The thought was enough. As for when he ate it or whether he ate it or not, that was his business and had nothing to do with her.
As for not being able to see him, she felt no regret whatsoever.
She's not sick, why would she go out of her way to be abused?
She was even secretly relieved that she didn't have to see the fussy young master; it was wonderful!
She stepped out of the elevator carrying snacks and soup, and was slightly startled when she saw Qin Xiu standing at the elevator entrance.
"Mr. Qin, are you there?" In her preconceived notion, this all-powerful assistant should be inseparable from Young Master Yan.
Qin Xiu smiled and took the bag from his hand. "Yes, I'm going back to Tongjia Village to take care of some business. I'm here to guard the base."
Qin Xiu had been notified by the front desk and came over specifically to greet her.
Zhu Qianying stopped directly in the corridor, pointed to the large bag of food and drinks he had just pointed to, and said, "Then you can take those things inside, I won't go in."
Qin Xiu exclaimed "Huh?" and looked at her with a strange expression.
"You didn't come to see Grandpa?"
Zhu Qianying wanted to shake her head, but she nodded instead. "Yes, but since he's not here, I won't wait for him. I have other things to do."
Qin Xiu looked regretful upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he still couldn't bear to let Zhu Qianying go so easily, since he couldn't afford to take the blame.
"How about I call Young Master Yan and see if he's back yet? Or maybe he's already at the door?"
Qin Xiu's all-around assistant title wasn't given lightly. If he had only shown disdain and indifference towards Zhu Qianying when she passed the selection, now he was filled with admiration and gratitude towards her.
Yan Shao has been extremely busy these past few days, and Qin Xiu and others have been working like dogs.
In the past, under such high-pressure work conditions, Yan Shao would inevitably seek out his personal, all-powerful assistant to tease him and relieve stress from time to time.
Although Yan Shao was so busy these past few days that he couldn't even eat properly, he was in a pretty good mood. Despite encountering a lot of unexpected situations, he didn't pick a single fight with Qin Xiu.
Qin Xiu attributed all the credit to Zhu Qianying.
For example, those afternoon tea snacks that Zhu Qianying bought herself a few days ago. If it had been Qin Xiu who bought them, he would probably have been scolded severely and forced to eat them all with his nose.
