Whether it was because of the thugs or because of Zizai's safety, it was ultimately her private matter. Her taking a half-month vacation during Ying Jewelry's busiest time was extremely irresponsible and caused great inconvenience to both Cheng Ye and Ying Jewelry.
She was well aware of this, and felt guilty about it.
But she was driven mad by her longing for her son, and even though she knew that doing so would be unfair to Cheng Ye, she still insisted on doing it.
Originally, she was going to resign, but after Cheng Ye voluntarily backed down, she felt embarrassed to bring up the matter again.
At present, it seems neither practical nor realistic for her to resign.
Cheng Ye, when she submitted her leave application, also said that if she resigned simply because she decided to return to China, then she didn't need to resign at all.
Just like five years ago, even if she lived in China, it wouldn't necessarily affect her work, and it's the same now.
So these days, she has been considering the possibility of returning to China to work.
However, before she makes a final decision, she does not want to be influenced by other factors, and Yan Shao is the factor that may cause the greatest interference.
Therefore, if possible, she was unwilling to have any involvement or conflict with Young Master Yan or the Yan family during this period.
And Zizai nodded very solemnly at her repeated reminders.
"Oh, Zizai knows..."
Zhu Qianying touched her son's face, which seemed to have gained some weight, and felt a sense of relief.
"Zizai, are your grandparents good to you?"
Actually, without even asking, Zhu Qianying could imagine that the little guy would be showered with love and affection when he returned to the Yan family.
After all, he was the only child in the Yan family.
"Hmm...it's alright...but Zizai still misses Mommy and Grandma more..."
As the little guy spoke, he pressed his face against hers again and rubbed it against hers.
Zhu Qianying was very pleased with her son's affectionate behavior.
"Sweetie, Mommy is very busy with work lately. Once I'm done with this, Mommy will spend time with you."
Zizai was overjoyed to receive Zhu Qianying's promise, and he became extremely enthusiastic during the subsequent mountain climb, remaining in a state of high spirits. Despite being the youngest in the group, he walked briskly at the very front of the group the whole way.
Actually, Zhu Qianying couldn't understand why Yan Shao and Yi Wei, who were supposed to be madly in love, hadn't gotten married yet.
And what does it mean that Young Master Yan is still looking for her?
At that moment, she was in a state of panic because her physical and mental safety was greatly threatened, and her first thought was for her son's safety.
But after the person was sent back, a series of problems arose.
Now, she's not so sure whether sending her son back was the right or wrong decision.
All she knew was that there was no turning back once the arrow was released; she could only consider the future based on the current situation.
I certainly can't keep meeting my son in this sneaky way for long.
Even if her son could keep quiet and not reveal anything, it was impossible for Yan Shao's people to remain completely unaware of her movements.
Most importantly, she is her son's biological mother. Why should she act like a thief when she sees her son?
It seems I should really think about it and meet with Young Master Yan.
She needs to think it over carefully. If it's relatively safe here, she'll return to China to settle down, and she'll definitely bring her son back to her side.
As for the Yan family's thoughts and wishes, let's deal with that later; for now, she can't think too far ahead.
The thought of seeing Young Master Yan affected Zhu Qianying's mood somewhat. She thought she would never see him again, but she still had to see him!
However, Yan Shao's influence ultimately couldn't compare to the joy his beloved son brought.
The children who participated in the activity were full of energy and excitement at first, but when they had climbed about a third of the way up, most of them started to complain.
Zizai and Beibei Guoguo belong to that small group of children.
The three little kids are usually very active and often participate in similar outdoor activities, so their physical strength and mental state are significantly better than other children.
When the person in charge at the front announced a short break, all the other children slumped on the steps, but Zizai and Beibei Guoguo were in high spirits and picked some vines to make headbands and bracelets.
"Shadow Coach, this is for you!"
Little Zizai is the most skillful. He quickly made a headband and an anklet and ran excitedly to Zhu Qianying to show them off.
Zhu Qianying happily squatted down and let the little guy put the headband on her, then stretched out her left hand and let him put the bracelet on her wrist.
"Thank you, little Zizai! Wow! You have such skillful hands, and your work is beautiful!"
After receiving the gift, Zhu Qianying generously gave her son a kiss!
Little Zizai grinned and continued picking vines to weave a headband. Before long, he had made one for himself and put it on.
Then he ran up to Zhu Qianying and asked for a photo. Of course, Zhu Qianying wouldn't refuse her beloved son, so she asked her assistant to take a few pictures.
The children played and frolicked, climbing and stopping intermittently. By noon, they were still about a quarter of the way from the summit.
The person in charge announced that all coaches and life assistants should take their respective group members to rest in the nearby pavilions. Since Zhu Qianying's group had been walking in the lead, they found a pavilion with a very good view to sit down.
The children took out the dry food prepared by their parents and started eating. Zhu Qianying looked at her own son's dry food, which was exactly the same as Beibei Guoguo's. Obviously, they had prepared it together last night.
After finishing their so-called lunch and resting for more than half an hour, the group continued their grand climb to the top of the mountain.
Around 5 p.m., all the children in the camp returned safely to the foot of the mountain and boarded the bus. The children, exhausted, all lay down on their seats and refused to move.
Even the energetic Zizai and Beibei Guoguo were no exception. On the way back to the hotel, little Zizai lay down on Zhu Qianying and fell asleep like a little pig.
However, the kids recovered their energy really quickly. Even Zhu Qianying, who was used to high-intensity exercise, felt like collapsing onto the bed and sleeping forever after dinner when she returned to the room. But the three little rascals, after resting for more than half an hour in the car, were now full of energy again, chasing and playing in the room.
After entering the guest room, the three little ones started calling out "Mommy" and "Auntie" happily. Zhu Qianying clapped her hands to signal the three little ones, who were having a great time, to stop.
She told Princess Guoguo to take a bath, while she instructed the two little gentlemen to empty their backpacks and replenish the items they would need for tomorrow.
Guoguo finished her bath quickly and came out. Then it was Zizai and Beibei's turn to take a bath together. Little Princess Guoguo was wearing a beautiful fairy bathrobe and sat cross-legged on the bed. She really looked like a little fairy.
"Tsk, Guoguo is really beautiful."
