In the hotel bathroom, Zhu Qianying was naturally not foolish enough to actually bump into the wall just to please Young Master Yan. She simply picked up the shower gel in the bathroom, raised it high, and slammed it into the bathtub with a "bang".
Seeing the shower gel she bought for a few dozen yuan splashing all over the bathtub, the stingy Zhu Qianying felt a little sorry for herself. She pinched her thigh and said the words that made her arms crawl with goosebumps.
Then a series of hearty laughs erupted from the microphone!
Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment. To be honest, she had known Yan Shao for so long and had never heard him laugh so unrestrainedly, without any regard for his image.
She couldn't even imagine what Yan Shao would look like when he was laughing so heartily.
She held the microphone, slightly stunned, listening to the man on the other end laugh for a while before he finally quieted down.
"You're so funny!"
In the microphone, besides Yan Shao's smiling voice, there was also a slight panting sound, which reminded Zhu Qianying of the way his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
So sexy, it's deadly!
Forcibly suppressing the various inappropriate and child-inappropriate images in her mind, Zhu Qianying tried to bring herself back to the original meaning of Yan Shao's words.
It seems that Young Master Yan gave her performance a very high rating!
How interesting!
Haha! Of course she has to be interesting!
Otherwise, if she accidentally offended Uncle Yan, she would be in deep trouble.
"Thank you, Young Master Yan, you flatter me..." Zhu Qianying said in a coquettish tone, her voice soft and seductive.
Young Master Yan was in an exceptionally good mood.
"Zhu Qianying, did you take the wrong medicine today?" Yan Shao's smiling voice came again.
"No, sir, you're wrong! I didn't take my medicine today!" Zhu Qianying replied in a high-pitched voice.
"Pfft, hahaha..."
A hearty laugh came through the microphone again.
When Zhu Qianying first heard Yan Shao laugh like that, she was somewhat taken aback. But when she heard it a second time, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upwards slightly.
Compared to the previous Yan Shao who was always sarcastic and eccentric, she preferred this outgoing and rugged Yan Shao!
Meanwhile, Yan Shao, lying in the bathtub in the villa in H City, was also acting out of character.
In the past, his daily bath time was his private time to relax and clear his mind.
He has always hated being disturbed by phone calls during his bath time. Therefore, neither Qin Xiu nor Uncle Hai dared to bother him while he was taking a bath unless it was something extremely important.
But at this moment, he completely forgot his taboo, holding his phone and chatting with Zhu Qianying about a bunch of meaningless things, occasionally bursting into laughter at her jokes.
He never knew that his sense of humor could be so low, and that once it hit him, it would always work.
He never imagined that he would have a pointless and aimless chat with someone. This was his first heart-to-heart talk with Zhu Qianying on the phone, and they ended up talking for almost an hour.
Fortunately, his jacuzzi was equipped with a thermostat; otherwise, the water in his tub would have been cold long ago!
Yan Shao slept exceptionally well that night, attributing it to the newly installed bathtub with its excellent massage function!
As for Zhu Qianying, she certainly didn't expect that her thank-you call would cause her fully charged phone to keep running out of battery, and her ear, pressed against the microphone, would get unbearably hot.
After Yan Shao finally finished chatting and hung up, Zhu Qianying hurriedly took a shower. As soon as she went out, she met her mother's red-eyed face.
"Ying'er...do you not want to see me? Or should I go to the next room and get a room?"
Clearly, Mom had misunderstood. She thought her daughter would rather hide in the bathroom than face her.
"Mom, I just called Young Master Yan."
To prevent her mother from overthinking, Zhu Qianying directly opened the call log and showed it to her mother, who was still somewhat skeptical.
Chen Jing glanced at the call log showing 52 minutes of talk time, and her worry turned to joy.
"Ying'er, you and Young Master Yan have such a good relationship?"
Zhu Qianying put her phone on the bedside table, climbed into bed, pulled up the covers, mumbled a reply to her mother, and closed her eyes.
Chen Jing looked curious and wanted to ask her daughter more questions, but seeing her daughter's tired appearance, she hesitated for a moment, reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, and lay down on her side.
Zhu Qianying was indeed tired. After the lights dimmed, she soon fell into a deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already past ten o'clock the next morning.
The guest room was quiet, with only the occasional faint footsteps and voices coming from the corridor outside.
Zhu Qianying propped herself up and sat up. After staring blankly for a while, she stretched comfortably and looked around.
I noticed that the blankets on my mother's bed were neatly folded, and the doors to the bathroom and washroom were wide open, without making a sound.
Zhu Qianying guessed that her silly mother must have gone to the hospital to see her father again. Although the conclusion had already been reached, she still held a sliver of hope and called out twice at the top of her lungs.
"Mother!"
No response whatsoever!
Now she was 100% certain that her mother had foolishly gone off to work as a free caregiver again.
But this time, she was wrong!
Chen Jing wasn't going to the hospital to be a free caregiver. Instead, she received a call from Zhu Zhizhou early in the morning, asking which hotel she was staying at. He then said he would come to pick her up in about ten minutes and told her not to disturb her daughter, Zhu Qianying.
Chen Jing didn't think much of it at the time, assuming that Zhu Zhizhou was just worried about his daughter and wanted her to rest. It wasn't until she followed Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Junzhao into the airport that she realized she had been tricked.
"Zhizhou, where are we going?"
Chen Jing stood at the gate, looking at Zhu Zhizhou with fear and wariness.
"I'd like to go to another city to see a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor for my hand. It's inconvenient for Xiao Zhao, a grown man, to take care of me."
Chen Jing boarded the plane with the Zhu family father and son with some skepticism. It wasn't until the plane took off that she realized it was a flight to R City.
"Zhizhou, are you really going to see a doctor?" Chen Jing stared at Zhu Zhizhou with a suspicious look.
If she remembered correctly, Xiaoyu was studying at a university in R City...
Zhu Zhizhou didn't hide anything this time, "I'm here to check on my hands, and while I'm at it, I'll pay a visit to the Ji family, our future in-laws!"
Chen Jing stared at Zhu Zhizhou, speechless for a long time.
But at this point, she had no choice but to go to the Ji family with the Zhu Zhizhou father and son.
Around 10 o'clock, the three arrived at the Ji's Building in R City. The receptionist politely asked them to wait a moment and then dialed the president's office.
"Mr. Zhu, the president wants you to go up now!"
Unlike the treatment they received with Young Master Yan, the three were respectfully welcomed into the reception room by Ji's secretary. Steaming hot tea, snacks, and fruit were laid out on the coffee table.
Such thorough hospitality surprised not only the Zhu Zhizhou father and son, but also Chen Jing, a woman who had spent most of her life at home and had little experience of the world.
