Yan Shao stared at her for a while, then finally couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Zhu Qianying hadn't expected him to investigate so thoroughly. In fact, someone as smart as him could figure it out with just a little thought!
"There's no reason why. My mom might go to R City to be with Xiaoyu in a few days. If she buys a house and then leaves it there unoccupied, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"
Yan Shao seemed to believe her reasoning and didn't press further, only saying, "Well, if your mother changes her mind, she can contact Qin Xiu anytime."
The two ate and chatted, but neither of them mentioned the scarf.
Zhu Qianying has figured it out and doesn't care anymore. As for Yan Shao, who knows what he's thinking?
After dinner, Yan Shao went to his study to work. Zhu Qianying wasn't the clingy type, so she didn't mention her plan to go out and buy books to Yan Shao. After he went upstairs, she stayed in the living room and read for a while. Around 8 o'clock, she had the driver take her to the bookstore for a stroll. She returned to the Yan family home before 10 o'clock.
The newly purchased books were so wonderful that Zhu Qianying couldn't put them down. As soon as she returned to the Yan family home, she brewed two pots of honey fruit tea. She had Uncle Hai take one pot up to Young Master Yan, and kept the other pot for herself to enjoy while reading.
Hearing the door open, Yan Shao said, "Come in." When he saw Uncle Hai bring in a pot of tea, he said, "No tea, I want coffee!"
After a few comfortable days following the wedding, he found himself overwhelmed with work. He desperately needs coffee to perk him up.
Uncle Hai hesitated for a moment, "Young Master, this is honey fruit tea that Ying'er specially brewed for you. She said that you've been staying up late these past few days, and drinking some honey can help clear heat and moisturize dryness."
Yan Shao was slightly taken aback. "She took the initiative to pursue him?"
Uncle Hai nodded, "Yes, Ying'er is a very thoughtful girl. She went to the bookstore to buy books just now, and when she came back she also bought some honey, tea, and fresh fruit. She even made you some soup, probably for you to drink later!"
Uncle Hai was increasingly pleased with Zhu Qianying, his young mistress, and he spoke highly of her to everyone he talked about.
In his view, his young master was an unfathomable person, and most people would not dare to get too close to him.
But Ying'er didn't seem afraid of him, and she was quite considerate and attentive to him. Occasionally, when the young master neglected her, she didn't seem to care much.
It's truly remarkable that someone her age could possess such magnanimity and breadth of mind.
Yan Shao responded with an "Mmm..." and continued typing on the screen.
Uncle Hai put down the tray, poured a glass of water and placed it beside him, then turned and left.
When he reached the door, he heard the young master behind him ask, "Is she asleep?"
Uncle Hai turned to him and said, "No, she's reading in the living room. Should we ask her to come up and keep you company?"
Yan Shao paused for a moment, as if considering Uncle Hai's suggestion, but finally said, "No need!"
Uncle Hai knew the young master's temperament well. If he really didn't want to, he would refuse very directly, instead of hesitating for a moment before refusing as he had just done.
This personality is really unusually stubborn. Even though he desperately wants it, he insists on saying no!
“Ying’er, it’s quite lonely sitting here in this big living room all by yourself. Why don’t you go up and keep the young master company?” Having been turned away by the young master, Uncle Hai tried to approach Zhu Qianying.
"Uncle Hai, I'm more comfortable watching from here. Young Master Yan doesn't like being disturbed when he's working!" Zhu Qianying didn't want to cause any trouble. What happened last night was enough after just one time!
Uncle Hai really didn't know whether to praise or correct Zhu Qianying for her self-awareness.
Uncle Hai was not giving up and tried to persuade him a few more times, saying things like, "You are different from others. If you accompany him, the young master will be very happy."
Zhu Qianying remained unmoved. "Forget it, I have severe ADHD. I keep running to drink tea, go to the bathroom, and check the kitchen. It will affect Young Master Yan!"
Uncle Hai sighed inwardly. One of these two little guys was incredibly stubborn, while the other was remarkably sensible and didn't have the slightest intention of causing trouble.
They'd only been married a few days. The young master was busy with work, but the young mistress neither got angry nor made a fuss. She even thoughtfully brewed tea and stewed soup for him...
Is this a case of mutual respect, or simply each going their own way without interfering with the other?
Uncle Hai was secretly worried for the two young people, but it was more like the emperor wasn't worried than the eunuch was.
In the end, Zhu Qianying stayed in the living room until the soup was cooked and seasoned, and then asked Uncle Hai to bring the soup upstairs.
Uncle Hai didn't want to take credit, and besides, he also wanted to create some heartwarming opportunities for the two little ones.
"Ying'er, this is a token of your appreciation, it would be better if you served it to her yourself!"
If you serve this soup, and the young master acts a little coy, perhaps Ying'er will obediently feed him the soup.
Uncle Hai envisioned a harmonious and beautiful scene, but Zhu Qianying directly rejected it.
"Uncle Hai, I'm tired. I'm going to wash up and go to bed. Please take care of this soup!"
As he spoke, he yawned and walked out of the kitchen.
Uncle Hai glanced helplessly at the soup bowls and dishes neatly arranged on the tray, and sighed again.
Sigh, I wonder when the young master and Ying'er, these two young people, will be able to live together in harmony, like this soup bowl and bowl.
Yan Shao, who was busy and overwhelmed in the study, also thought that Zhu Qianying would personally serve the soup she had made, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw Uncle Hai again.
"And her?"
Uncle Hai clearly saw the fleeting disappointment in the young master's eyes, but he couldn't come up with anything nice to comfort him, so he could only tell the truth.
"Ying'er said she was tired and went to take a shower and go to bed."
Yan Shao got up and walked over, his negative emotions already hidden. He sat down on the sofa and saw that in addition to the soup, there was also a small plate of snacks on the tray.
"She made this too?"
Uncle Hai shook his head, "This was brought over by my mother-in-law this afternoon. Ying'er was worried you were hungry, so she asked me to bring it up."
This time, Yan Shao didn't say anything. He picked up the soup that Uncle Hai had served, lowered his head, and slowly scooped it up spoonful by spoonful to drink.
Uncle Hai thought he had nothing more to ask, so he straightened up and was about to leave, but Young Master Yan stopped and looked up at him, "Did she eat?"
Uncle Hai shook his head again, "She didn't eat or drink any soup. I guess she's afraid of gaining weight? Actually, she's too thin. I don't understand the aesthetics of these young girls these days..."
At this moment, Uncle Hai and Young Master Yan only remembered the fact that Zhu Qianying was thin, and both the one asking the question and the one answering it looked somewhat distressed.
Both of them forgot that the girl had always had a large appetite. She was thin because that was her natural body shape, not because she was dieting!
"Young Master, work is never-ending. Spend more time with Ying'er when you have time."
Uncle Hai certainly felt sorry for his young master, but he was even more worried about that girl, Zhu Qianying.
He's only twenty years old, still a big kid. Does that mean he'll have to stay cooped up at home every day like this from now on?
"Okay!" Young Master Yan obediently replied.
But Uncle Hai felt that the young master probably didn't even know how to keep him company.
