"Anyway, Zizai sleeps with me at home!" Young Master Yan added.
In his view, the fact that the little guy was willing to sleep in the same bed with him meant that he was close to him and loved him.
Little did he know, the little guy was harboring such a secret thought while sleeping in the same bed with him.
Zhu Qianying would never betray her son. Besides, it was already past ten o'clock when she got home. They would take a shower and go to bed. They didn't really have much interaction anyway, so she let him be.
After the two arrived home, Chen Jing heard the door open and got up to look. She was startled to see Young Master Yan standing behind her daughter.
"Young Master Yan, you..."
"Mom, I missed Zizai, so I came to see him!" Yan Han's excuse flowed perfectly.
"Zizai is asleep!" Chen Jing, being a straightforward person, replied to him immediately.
"It's okay, I'll just glance at him a few times."
Yan Shao agreed, dragged his luggage straight to the little guy's bedroom, and pushed the door open.
Chen Jing still doesn't know about the one-year marriage agreement between her daughter and Yan Han. Seeing him slip into the bedroom, she quickly pulled her daughter over.
"Ying'er, why are you hanging out with him again?"
After returning to L City, Zhu Qianying told her and Xiaoyu that Yan Han had not gone through the divorce proceedings five years ago. Therefore, Chen Jing thought that her daughter would seize the time to get a divorce during this period.
But judging from the current situation, they don't seem like people who want a divorce at all; they're just getting more and more entangled.
Naturally, Chen Jing didn't know that Yan Han had gone to the US with Zhu Qianying; otherwise, she would have thought even more!
“I didn’t hang out with him. I invited Ke Kai to dinner to talk about Xiao Yu, and he came along.”
As for the rest, Zhu Qianying was too lazy to tell her mother, lest she overthink things.
But her silence doesn't mean Chen Jing won't ask or care.
"I think you should get the paperwork done as soon as possible! This sticky, indecisive way isn't good for you two!"
After these five years, Chen Jing is indeed no longer the same Chen Jing as before; she can now analyze problems calmly.
But these bamboo shadows surely understand as well.
But she knew it was no use; she needed the cooperation of that old man Yan in the bedroom!
Since she didn't want things to fall apart and her son to be hurt, she could only resort to the compromise of a one-year term.
She didn't want to mention these things to her mother.
Anyway, a year isn't a long time; it passes in the blink of an eye.
"Mom, I know what I'm doing!"
Chen Jing looked at her daughter with worry. Five years ago, her daughter also said she knew what she was doing, but a few days after getting married, she took her to live in exile.
Therefore, what my daughter calls "a sense of proportion" is less about certainty and more about the tragic determination to prepare for the worst.
Chen Jing couldn't quite judge what kind of person Yan Shao was.
But to be honest, compared to a considerate and gentle son-in-law like Ji Huan, Yan Shao's attitude towards his eldest daughter is simply unbearable.
It is said that there is no harm without comparison. Therefore, in Chen Jing's eyes, Cheng Ye or Xing Bailun are a hundred or a thousand times better than Yan Shao.
At least she could see how good the two of them were to their daughter, but as for Yan Shao, whether he was too scheming or simply didn't care about his daughter, she really couldn't see how good he was to her.
Chen Jing was about to say something to her daughter when Zizai's bedroom door creaked open, and Yan Shao came out with a change of clothes.
"Where should I take a shower?" Yan Shao asked Zhu Qianying softly as he closed the door.
This apartment has two bathrooms: one connected to the washroom on the terrace, and the other in the master bedroom where Zhu Qianying lives.
Zhu Qianying also wanted to take a shower, so she pointed to the terrace and said, "Terrace!"
Chen Jing waited until he turned out onto the terrace, then pulled Zhu Qianying directly into the master bedroom.
"He just came to see Vic Zhou?"
Zhu Qianying, with her back to Chen Jing, opened the closet door to take out clothes. "Yeah, didn't you see him go straight into Zizai's bedroom?"
To be honest, Zhu Qianying is also quite confused by Young Master Yan.
What is it that he and Yi Wei can't resolve?
Five years have passed and the problem remains unresolved. Why drag an outsider like her into their muddy waters now?
Could it be that the arrival of their son has created an irreparable rift between them?
Zhu Qianying entered the bathroom with a jumble of thoughts in her head. After she finished showering and came out of the living room, she thought she would heat up a cup of milk, drink it, and then go to sleep. However, she was surprised to see Young Master Yan still sitting in the living room, holding a computer and doing something.
Zhu Qianying glanced at the wall clock; it was already past eleven.
"Young Master Yan, aren't you asleep yet?"
"Yeah, I still have some things to take care of. I'll go to sleep after I'm done."
It seems she was afraid that doing it in the bedroom would disturb her son's sleep, so she ran out to the living room to do it, which must have been difficult for him.
"Would you like some milk?" Zhu Qianying asked as she walked, thinking that since it was on her way, heating up an extra cup wouldn't hurt.
"No, I want tea!"
Zhu Qianying cursed herself for being nosy. It was none of her business if he starved to death, so why was she asking?
Despite the scolding, brewing a pot of tea isn't really that difficult; it's just that the tea leaves she has here...
"Young Master Yan, here's your tea. Just to clarify, I bought this tea at the supermarket for a few dozen yuan per kilogram."
Although Zhu Qianying has a good income, she has to support her family, so she tries to be frugal in her daily life. She prefers to save money so that she can take her mother and son out more often during her vacations.
Young Master Yan said "thank you" but didn't look up at her; clearly, his mind was completely focused on his work.
Zhu Qianying held her hot milk and slowly drank it.
After banging away for a while, Yan Shao stopped, picked up the cup, and took a sip of tea.
None of the pickiness or disdain that Zhu Qianying expected appeared on his face. His expression remained indifferent as he sipped his tea, but his gaze drifted towards Zhu Qianying intentionally or unintentionally.
"Didn't you say you were going to buy a car? Why are you still driving that beat-up car?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Qianying was a little embarrassed.
"Well, it's not convenient right now, let's talk about it later."
She was too embarrassed to tell Young Master Yan that, thanks to him, she had found such an expensive school for her son. Even though she only paid half of the tuition, it had taken up all her budget for buying a car.
So let's postpone the car purchase. Anyway, even though that car is old and worn out, it can still be driven, right?
"Are you out of money?"
Young Master Yan once again saw through her thoughts.
As it turns out, Young Master Yan does understand her quite well at certain times.
"No, I've been busy lately, haven't I?" Zhu Qianying tried to cover it up.
Yan Han stared at her intently. "How about I have Qin Xiu transfer one hundred million to you tomorrow?"
Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, looked up at him, and realized that he didn't seem to be joking, so she quickly waved her hand.
"No need, no need, what would I need so much money for?"
She's not stupid. If she takes 100 million, Young Master Yan will have enough reason to take Zizai away!
