Yan Han was directly rejected, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.
After all, in all his years, he has been rejected very few times.
"How about I take you to see Zizai's playroom? It's not completely finished yet, but Zizai seems to like it quite a bit! Go take a look and feel free to give any suggestions. Anyway, it's not finished yet, so there's still time to fix or modify it."
It's rare that Young Master Yan wasn't defeated; this time, he actually made the right bet. Zhu Qianying rarely refuses anything related to her son.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Qianying finally nodded.
Although she will eventually take Zizai away.
However, it only means that she will take Zizai into her life to raise and care for him; it does not mean that Zizai will never have anything to do with the Yan family again.
Zizai is still a child of the Yan family, so naturally he will occasionally go back to the Yan family to stay.
"By the way, have you thought about which school to send Zizai to?"
Having finally found the right topic, Young Master Yan chatted with her as they went upstairs.
"Not yet, let's talk about it later!"
Zhu Qianying wasn't in a hurry about this problem.
"Then I'll keep an eye out for more options, ask Zizai for his opinion, and then we'll shortlist a few to look at together?"
Yan Han truly cared for his son.
Compared to his indifferent attitude towards Zhu Qianying five years ago, it's a world of difference.
Zhu Qianying attributed this differential treatment to the magic of blood ties, so she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. Her son had a share, and it was only natural for him to do his part.
However, even though she was mentally prepared, Zhu Qianying was still shocked when she saw the playroom, which was about the same size as the living room on the first floor.
Young Master Yan also spared no expense, turning the entire fourth floor into Zizai's playroom.
The most outrageous thing is that, in addition to a miniature basketball court, there is also a soccer field inside.
“Zizai seems to really like ball games, so I had these two miniature courts made. Later, I'll get two full-size courts set up in the garden outside. Actually, I was thinking of using the house on the west side to set up a large playroom, but Zaizai seems to prefer this place. What do you think?”
Zhu Qianying nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, the facilities are complete, and they are all things that Zizai likes."
This playroom is at least several hundred square meters in size. It's about the size of a typical family's living space. Young Master Yan generously used the space where dozens of people live as his young master's play area, which is quite extravagant.
How could a mother like her possibly be dissatisfied?
At this point, Zhu Qianying had no choice but to admit it.
Yan Han is indeed a scoundrel in some ways.
But for his son, it was truly good!
The two walked around the playroom, but Zhu Qianying didn't offer any suggestions because Yan Han had basically thought of everything she had thought of.
Just as she was about to go downstairs, Zhu Qianying suddenly heard the little one's anxious cries and the sound of him shuffling down the stairs, "Mommy! Mommy!"
Soon, she saw Zizai, who was covered in sweat, at the corner.
"Baby, I'm here!" Zhu Qianying called out to the little one.
"Mommy, I thought you ran away!" the little guy said, rushing over like an arrow and hugging Zhu Qianying's waist.
Zhu Qianying secretly rolled her eyes. Just how bad was her record?
Old Madam Yan, who had been following behind, finally went upstairs as well.
"Ying'er, why don't you stay here? Zizai seems to prefer having you with him!"
Madam Yan had wanted to say these words for a long time, but the timing had never been right before. Now, however, was the perfect opportunity.
"Auntie, no, I have to go back to work. It's too much trouble to go back and forth between the two places." Zhu Qianying refused very tactfully.
The real reason was clear to all three people present, except for Vic Chou.
“Ke Zizai…”
Madam Yan looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, pointing to the little one who was tightly hugging Zhu Qianying as if afraid she would run away.
Zhu Qianying looked down at the little one nestled in her belly, raised her hand and rubbed his head, "Zizai, do you remember what Mommy said?"
Zhu Qianying believed that since Old Madam Yan had invited him, the little guy probably had a part in it too.
It's likely that she was subtly lured into this trap by Old Madam Yan.
After all, he's only four years old. No matter how smart or cunning he is, he can't compare to the shrewdness of someone like Madam Yan, who has been navigating the world for many years!
Zizai raised his head and glanced at her timidly, then pouted and shook his head in grievance.
"Hmm, does that mean Zizai doesn't trust Mommy?"
Zizai blinked and then shook his head.
"Okay, since you trust Mommy, then be a good girl and stay with Grandpa, Grandma, and Daddy, okay?"
Zhu Qianying didn't want to involve her son in the adults' grudges and tug-of-war; she only wanted him to grow up happily and healthily under the joint love and care of her and the Yan family.
Of course, she had never thought of this idea in the past few years, or even a month ago.
But times have changed. The environment and circumstances back then are different from now, so naturally, our thoughts will also change.
Zizai is Yanhan's child, and he has the right to enjoy the fatherly love from Yanhan and the doting affection from the two elders.
Although she was his mother, she had no right to remove these feelings of love from him. Moreover, blood ties were something she could never change or eliminate.
Zizai and she stared at each other silently for a few seconds, and finally, Zizai obediently nodded.
"Okay... then... be a good boy, Mommy... and remember what you said!"
Zhu Qianying smiled and nodded, "Of course I remember!"
After receiving Zhu Qianying's assurance, Zizai's earlier fear and anxiety gradually subsided.
The three adults took Zizai downstairs, and they had just sat down and had a cup of tea when Uncle Hai came out.
"Ying'er, what would you like to eat for dinner? I'll have the chef prepare it."
Without even thinking, Zhu Qianying replied, "Uncle Hai, no need to trouble yourself, I still need to go back to the shop!"
The implication is that they will not only not offer lodging, but also not a meal.
Yan Han's expression became slightly subtle. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but was forced back down by a glare from Old Madam Yan.
Even a fool could guess what her son wanted to say; it certainly wasn't anything nice.
“In that case, Ah Hai, go and tell the chef to pack some soup and snacks for Ying’er to take back to the shop to drink.”
She declined his offer to stay overnight, and he also declined to offer her a meal, but Zhu Qianying felt embarrassed to refuse takeout as well.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Would you like the driver to take you back, or would you like to drive yourself? It would be more convenient for you to have a car since you work at the store."
Madam Yan wanted to arrange everything she could think of for Zhu Qianying.
However, Zhu Qianying could not accept her good intentions.
