When Zhu Qianying and her mother returned to L City, the first thing they did was to take advantage of Zhu Zhizhou's absence to go home and retrieve the three of their important belongings. Then, they moved directly into a two-bedroom apartment that she had found in advance.
Although this apartment is in the suburbs, the environment is quite nice, and most importantly, the rent is half the price of an apartment with similar conditions in the city.
Anyway, she and her mother don't have to work, and living further away means they have even less chance of running into the Zhu family.
The mother and daughter spent the afternoon settling in. In the evening, Chen Jing was preparing dinner for the two of them in the kitchen when Zhu Qianying finally had a moment to send a message to Yan Shao.
"Young Master Yan, my mother and I have moved out of the Zhu family's house. If you need to contact me in the future, just call my cell phone."
Because Yan Shao had occasionally had Uncle Hai call the Zhu family to look for her, she told him about this to save him from having to call the Zhu family and get a cold shoulder.
She had assumed that Yan Shao would, as always, not respond to her even if she received the message.
Unexpectedly, after sending the message, Zhu Qianying put down her phone, and the phone vibrated a few times.
I picked it up and opened it, and the sender was actually "the fussy young master".
"address!"
The two simple and clear words made it impossible for Zhu Qianying to doubt that the sender was not Yan Shao.
Only a fussy rich kid would dare to ask for someone else's address so brazenly.
While rolling her eyes, Zhu Qianying picked up her phone, switched to the camera function, snapped a picture of the address on the rental contract, and sent the photo directly without saying a word.
This time, after sending the message, she waited a while, and sure enough, about ten seconds later, the fussy young master replied with another message.
"I'll come for dinner at seven o'clock."
Smash it!
This fussy young master, when he comes to someone else's house to freeload, can't he at least be a little more polite?
Please, don't be so self-righteous, okay?
However, despite her complaints, Zhu Qianying tossed the phone onto the sofa a moment later and got up to go to the kitchen to see what her mother had prepared.
"Mom, Young Master Yan is coming over for dinner. Feel free to add two or three dishes to your meal."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing immediately tensed up, turning her head to stare intently at her, "What does Young Master Yan like to eat?"
Thinking of that fussy young master's eight-dish-and-one-soup menu, Zhu Qianying's lips twitched involuntarily.
"Mom, whatever he likes to eat, just add two or three of whatever ingredients are in the fridge. He's just here to freeload, why should he have so many demands?"
In Zhu Qianying's opinion, her mother was an elder, and Yan Shao could not make many demands on her, but he could not be so demanding of his mother!
Besides, Mom's cooking skills are absolutely top-notch. Others might not be able to get this kind of food even if they spend a lot of money. Uncle Yan is lucky enough to have it, so he should be grateful. How could he be allowed to point fingers and ask for this and that?
At 6:50, the doorbell rang at Zhu Qianying's new home. Looking through the peephole, she saw that the face outside was indeed Young Master Yan.
"Young Master Yan, you're right on time!"
Zhu Qianying opened the door and stepped aside to let Yan Shao in.
Yan Shao handed her the bag in his hand. Zhu Qianying glanced down at the bag that was being handed to her. It seemed that he mistook her for a servant of the Yan family!
Forget it, it's her housewarming day, she can't be bothered to argue with this ignorant and willful young master!
Zhu Qianying took his bag and carried it into the living room, but Yan Shao stood in the entryway, rooted to the spot and didn't move.
Zhu Qianying put her bag on the cabinet, turned around and saw him still standing there, which was quite strange. "Come in!"
Young Master Yan raised his foot towards her, "Shoes!"
Zhu Qianying then realized that he was waiting for her to give him slippers so he could change out of his leather shoes.
But when she and her mother went to buy household supplies in the afternoon, who would have thought that Young Master Yan would actually condescend to visit their humble abode? Naturally, there wouldn't be any of his slippers there.
"No, please make yourself at home, Young Master Yan. Just wear your leather shoes when you come in. Anyway, it's a floor here, so it's easy to clean."
Despite what Zhu Qianying, as the host, said, Yan Shao remained standing still.
Zhu Qianying watched as he took out his phone and dialed, "Buy a pair of slippers and bring them up!" Only then did she realize that this fussy young master insisted on wearing slippers before coming into the house.
Zhu Qianying was completely convinced by him and, too lazy to waste her breath trying to persuade him, went straight into the kitchen to help her mother carry the food to the dining room.
Fortunately, she had prepared ten bowls and ten pairs of chopsticks.
"Has Young Master Yan arrived?" Chen Jing heard the doorbell ring from the kitchen.
"We're here. I'm staying in the entryway!" Zhu Qianying replied, carrying a large pot of soup as she walked out.
Chen Jing didn't hear Yan Shao's voice. She assumed that her eldest daughter's quirky personality had caused Yan Shao some embarrassment. She took off her apron, washed her hands, and went out.
When Yan Shao saw her, he was a bit kinder than he was to Zhu Qianying, and he nodded to her, "Aunt Jing!"
Chen Jing carefully observed his expression but didn't detect any signs of dissatisfaction or anger.
"Young Master Yan, why don't you come in and sit down? The food is all ready. Just come in, wash your face, and we can start eating."
Whether it's because she left the Zhu family or because Chen Jing has become more assertive, she can now handle Yan Shao with ease.
Now, she's finally starting to feel more like a future mother-in-law.
"I'll wait for the driver to bring me my slippers..." Young Master Yan explained patiently, a rare occurrence for him.
Chen Jing had no idea that her future son-in-law had so many fussy habits. Just as she was about to say something, Zhu Qianying, who had just finished serving the soup, grabbed her and pulled her away.
"Mom, the soup doesn't seem salty enough, go and try it."
Chen Jing quickly turned and went into the dining room. Zhu Qianying crossed her arms and looked Yan Shao up and down. "Young Master Yan, you seem to have lost weight?"
Little did she know that Young Master Yan had been traveling back and forth between L City and H City for the past two or three days, and had slept less than ten hours in total over those days. Today, things finally made progress, and he was planning to go home and get a good night's sleep.
But after seeing her information, as if possessed, he moved his finger and asked for the address.
After glancing at the address, which was in the exact opposite direction and even farther from home, Yan Shao sent out a message without hesitation, saying he wanted to come over for dinner.
Even now, he hasn't realized that by making a special trip here for a meal, his journey home will be several times longer.
He would never have done something so foolish in the past.
But now he did it without any awareness, and even after he finished, the alarms in his body remained quietly in place, without him having any sense of alertness.
"You've lost weight?"
Yan Shao raised his hand to touch his face. His face was naturally well-defined with no excess fat, and his figure was also top-notch with not an ounce of fat. Generally speaking, his weight fluctuated by a few pounds, and few people could tell whether he was fat or thin with the naked eye.
