Zhu Qianying could only patiently reassure her, "Mom, if it were you or me, we would be speechless in this situation, but for Young Master Yan, it's just a matter of a word. Grandpa and Grandma are extremely indulgent and accommodating towards Young Master Yan. Don't worry about this, nothing will happen!"
Chen Jing was still worried, and as she left, she secretly told her daughter, "Ying'er, Mom will make you some nourishing soup tomorrow to help you recover!"
Zhu Qianying could only nod haphazardly in agreement. Originally, she was already very troubled by this matter, but now, with her mother's anxious fuss, she had completely lost interest.
So when Yan Shao got home from get off work, he was surprised to see his usually energetic bride lying listlessly on the sofa, holding the TV remote. The big screen wasn't showing any exciting movie, but rather a breast enhancement advertisement.
Yan Shao's eyes, filled with a strange smile, swept over her a few times. "What? Not satisfied with your figure?"
He, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with her figure.
It's slim where it should be slim, and fleshy where it should feel firm and juicy.
As for her slender arms and long legs, which had not an ounce of excess fat, just looking at them made him feel unbearably hot all over.
Zhu Qianying, lounging lazily on the sofa, rolled her eyes at him. "Who said that?"
"Then do you look at this advertisement?"
Yan Shao chuckled and sat down beside her, slapping her half-upturned bottom with his large hand.
Zhu Qianying kicked him in the back, but he swept her up in his arms and pulled her around the waist.
"Stop looking, she's too voluptuous, I don't like her!"
Yan Shao scooped the person up onto his lap, and with one hand, he snatched the remote and slammed the screen off.
Although Zhu Qianying was extremely satisfied with herself, she still stubbornly insisted, "I like it! What does it matter to me if you don't like it!"
Yan Shao seemed to have gotten used to her bad habit of bickering with him from time to time. Knowing that arguing would not yield any results, he changed the subject at the right time.
"Honey, weren't you supposed to be back to sleep? Why are you so bored watching breast enhancement ads, hmm?" He looked down at her and gently squeezed her waist with his hand.
On the fourth day of their marriage, although Yan Shao didn't accompany her shopping or try to cheer her up during the day, he finally showed some concern for her and stopped treating her like she was invisible.
Zhu Qianying didn't struggle as he held her, and whispered in defense, "Who really wants to watch? It just happened to be on that channel!"
After these few days of incredibly intimate contact, she had gotten used to being held and embraced by him, and would even subconsciously snuggle into his arms because she craved the warmth of his body.
For example, right now, she has crossed her legs and curled up tightly in his arms.
Yan Shao was very pleased with her increasingly natural behavior of getting close to him, and he lowered his head to rub his head against her hair.
"I'm so bored, let's go out and have some fun for a few days. Let your mom come with you, or Xiaoyu will do too."
Yan Shao himself was genuinely busy. Originally, he didn't think his relationship with Zhu Qianying required a honeymoon.
But now, he felt a little guilty and reluctant to leave her, a young girl, alone at home.
But his work schedule was already booked until the twenties of the year, and finding a few days to go out with her was practically impossible.
Zhu Qianying looked up in surprise, staring at him with her head tilted back.
In her mind, words like considerate, gentle, and understanding were never associated with Young Master Yan!
"What?" Young Master Yan lowered his eyes and met her dark gaze.
Zhu Qianying blinked, raised her hand and placed it on his forehead. "You have a fever?"
Young Master Yan held her hand, chuckled, and lightly scolded, "Nonsense!"
The words were as simple as before, but the tone was completely different. While not exactly saccharine, it carried a hint of doting affection.
Zhu Qianying stared at him blankly. This side of him was something she couldn't quite get used to, and it always made her heart pound like a deer.
After a moment, she came to her senses, withdrew her hand, and lowered her eyes to refuse his kindness.
"Young Master Yan, you don't need to worry about me. I'll make my own arrangements once I feel better."
Having witnessed her mother's pathetic behavior since childhood, Zhu Qianying has the strongest aversion to women who treat themselves as objects of male dependence.
Therefore, she could tolerate leaning on Yan Shao for warmth and accept his care and consideration, but she could not accept becoming a burden to others.
Yan Shao didn't care about her insistence. He lowered his head and instructed her again, "Well, where do you want to go? Let Uncle Hai or Qin Xiu book tickets and itinerary for you."
Zhu Qianying nodded and didn't insist on anything. She just nestled quietly in Yan Shao's arms, thinking about what Qi Xiaofu had said on the phone: "Yingying, I can't find out anything about Yan Shao and the Ji family, but your father and your older brother resubmitted loan applications to several major banks yesterday."
Seeing that the person in his arms remained silent for a long time, Yan Shao looked down at her a few times and asked, "Asleep?"
"no……"
Zhu Qianying shook her head, but in the end, she couldn't help but ask him.
"Young Master Yan, did you say or do anything to my father and the others? Or did you promise them anything?"
If Yan Shao hadn't done anything, someone like his father wouldn't have been willing to appear at the wedding so discreetly.
Young Master Yan paused for a moment, "Why do you think that?"
Zhu Qianying knew that in front of someone as shrewd as Yan Shao, it was best to speak directly and avoid beating around the bush. No matter how you beat around the bush, you couldn't get past him. In fact, he would see right through you and then think you were pretentious.
"My dad and those aunties, even my older brothers and sisters, are all shrewd and manipulative. On the wedding day, although they sat next to the Yan family, it was obvious to everyone that they were treated the same as ordinary guests. And the person who led me down the aisle and handed me over to you was Uncle Ji, an outsider, not my dad. This was a blatant slap in the face, yet they accepted it quietly without showing the slightest sign of dissatisfaction. If you hadn't done or promised something, would they have been so well-behaved? Impossible, right?"
Yan Shao stared at her for several seconds before saying, "I didn't say anything to them, nor did I promise them anything!"
Zhu Qianying was skeptical, but her intuition told her that Yan Shao was lying about this matter, but she couldn't find any motive for him to lie.
Yan Shao looked at her thoughtfully, frowning as he asked, "Didn't you stay home all afternoon? Did you hear some rumors from Xing Bailun?"
When Xing Bailun is mentioned, Yan Shao's tone always carries a hint of resentment.
Zhu Qianying didn't want to implicate Xing Bailun. In just over a month, Xing Bailun would officially become the president of Xing's Group, and she couldn't cause him any trouble at this crucial moment.
"It wasn't Xing Bailun; I was worried about my mother's safety, so I asked Qi Xiao to inquire about it."
Zhu Qianying truthfully repeated Qi Xiao's reply to Yan Shao.
