Originally, she was very grateful and thought that after she finished these busy days, she would properly thank him for taking good care of her.
But after hearing his words, all her gratitude and thanks vanished, because the little boat of trust between her and him capsized in an instant!
Young Master Yan glanced at her sideways and said, "What do you want to see? I'll show you! Is it necessary to act like a social butterfly, running around with some random guy?"
Young Master Yan's innate sharp tongue can be so offensive that it can make anyone sick.
Zhu Qianying didn't die, but I just don't want to deal with her anymore.
She tilted her head and pretended to be asleep, too lazy to pay any more attention to the arrogant and authoritarian guy next to her.
Yan Han waited for a while but received no response. He turned his head and saw Zhu Qianxiang curled up like a hedgehog by the window, her eyes closed, seemingly asleep again.
No way, she seemed perfectly energetic just now!
Taking advantage of the red light, Yan Han leaned over and patted her head.
"Are you sleepy?"
Zhu Qianying ignored him and continued to keep her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.
Although her eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes, which were constantly trembling, betrayed her.
Yan Han chuckled and flicked her forehead. "Zizai learned all those little tricks from you, didn't he?"
After saying that, he stopped bothering her, got back into the driver's seat, and drove away.
Originally, Yan Han planned to pick up Zhu Qianying and then accompany her to find a place to eat along the way. Given her amazing appetite and good digestion, she had only eaten a little for dinner, and by now she was probably about to faint from hunger.
But as the car drove on, Zhu Qianying, who had been pretending to be asleep in the passenger seat, actually fell asleep.
Yan Han couldn't bear to wake her, so he drove straight back to the hotel, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the car door.
Yan Han, who had mentally prepared himself to carry her back to the guest room, saw that she had already sat up straight and was rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.
"woke up?"
Yan Han couldn't help but laugh again, because the way she was rubbing her eyes in a daze reminded her of that little guy, Zizai.
Sure enough, although the little guy has a similar appearance to me, his personality and habits are exactly the same as his mother's.
"Um……"
Zhu Qianying was still a little drowsy and had no recollection of the minor conflicts and unpleasantness that had occurred before she went to sleep.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to go buy something to eat?"
Next to the hotel, there is a 24-hour supermarket and a few cafes.
Zhu Qianying got out of the car. "No, I want to go back to sleep!"
It seems that compared to a bed, the allure of delicious food is still a little less.
Back in the guest room, Zhu Qianying didn't linger in the living room at all; she went straight into the bedroom and never came out again.
Even if Yan Han were a fool, he vaguely understood that he seemed to have unintentionally offended her again.
...
As soon as Zhu Qianying came out, she said to Yan Han, "Young Master Yan, you don't need to take me to the factory. Cheng Ye is waiting for me outside the hotel. He will take me back after the auction tonight!"
Zhu Qianying felt that as a nominal couple, this was already the greatest respect she could show Yan Han, although she didn't think he would obediently agree.
To her surprise, Yan Han actually nodded. "Okay, then be careful on your way!"
He spoke calmly, his gaze never even shifting towards Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying felt strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. She hurriedly left with her bag on her back.
When people are busy, time always flies by.
In the blink of an eye, it was past five in the afternoon. Cheng Ye came over to remind Zhu Qianying, "Yingzi, we should go and get ready."
Zhu Qianying explained some issues to her assistant, and then returned to the main store with Cheng Ye.
Because she occasionally attends cocktail parties and similar events, she always keeps several formal dresses and some spare clothes hanging in her office.
She took a shower, changed into a pink silk embroidered plum blossom cheongsam, styled her hair in a retro updo, put on light makeup, and then walked out of the office with graceful demeanor.
In recent years, oriental retro elements have become popular in jewelry and fashion abroad. When she returned to China this time, she went to an old shop to order several retro cheongsams, and this one is one of them.
Cheng Ye happened to open the door and come out. He had changed into a black evening suit and his eyes lit up when he saw Zhu Qianying.
"Shadow, you look so elegant dressed like that!"
Zhu Qianying grinned, half-covered her mouth, and winked at him, "Just elegant? Not pretty?"
Cheng Ye smiled and shook his head, "Of course not, not only elegant, but also noble, and very beautiful!"
Zhu Qianying looked him up and down. "Hmm, boss, you're handsome too!"
To satisfy each other's vanity, the two exchanged compliments with smiles, and then Cheng Ye drove them to the auction party about ten minutes later.
This auction was reportedly members-only, and all the guests were senior members of a certain association.
Zhu Qianying was not Cheng Ye, but Cheng Ye was. Zhu Qianying accompanied Cheng Ye into the venue under the guise of being his assistant.
Zhu Qianying has been living in the United States for five years, and her fame has been rising steadily in the past two or three years. Most of the guests present recognized her and Cheng Ye, and quite a few people came up to toast and exchange pleasantries.
Cheng Ye was held up by an old friend, so Zhu Qianying went to get some snacks to fill her stomach. While she was eating in a corner, her gaze inadvertently drifted to the entrance and she saw a figure that was all too familiar to her.
The man was wearing an ordinary black suit, but it made him look exceptionally tall and handsome. He casually draped a light gray scarf around his neck, which added a touch of style and made him even more charming.
He did not enter alone; he was accompanied by a very famous Chinese-American tycoon surnamed Lei and his wife in the United States.
Because Zhu Qianying had designed jewelry for Mrs. Lei, she had met the couple a few times.
Even so, Zhu Qianying did not want to go over and greet the couple at this moment, because she did not want to see the man next to them.
No wonder he looked so calm this morning; it turns out he had already planned to attend the auction tonight.
So, is he fulfilling his promise from last night that he would take her to see whatever she wanted to see?
Or was he afraid that his nominal wife would embarrass him by flirting with unrelated men like a socialite?
Regardless of his purpose, it was absolutely true that Zhu Qianying did not want to see him.
She deliberately hid in the shadows, and even turned her back to the entrance.
However, that's often how things are in this world; what you fear most is what comes to pass.
She hadn't even finished half of the snack on her plate when she heard steady, powerful footsteps behind her. Just as she was beginning to feel a sense of relief, a familiar voice came through the approaching footsteps.
