The name for Zizai is still undecided, but he has already thought of a name for the dog in half a day.
"Call me Star!"
The child spoke with a serious expression, and while he was talking, he wiped his face with his dirty hands, which were covered in dirt from assembling the doghouse. Instantly, his face became a mess, which made the adults laugh.
Zhu Qianying wasn't in a hurry to have the little guy wash his hands and face. In her opinion, it was perfectly normal for a child to get dirty while playing. You could say it was because he was having fun and ignored all the unimportant details.
The little guy is indeed more like Zhu Qianying in this respect, and doesn't care as much as his father. Just now, after finishing assembling the doghouse, he immediately ran upstairs to take a shower and change his clothes.
Therefore, Zhu Qianying's opinion of Yan Shao changed slightly. A person with severe mysophobia who wipes his face and hands before eating breakfast and changes his clothes before going to bed was actually willing to lie on the grass to build a doghouse, getting covered in grass and dirt without complaint. This shows how deep and strong his love for the young master is.
"Baby, why is it called Star?"
Madam Yan was very curious about the dog's name. Adults' imaginations are naturally not as rich as children's, so it's normal that she couldn't understand it.
"Because its eyes are like stars! Sparkling and so beautiful!"
When Zizai talked about his new friend, his eyes sparkled like stars.
"Alright, is little Star satisfied with the big house that young master Zizai built for it?"
Zhu Qianying's question was a bit redundant, because little Xingxing was already fast asleep in its big house, how could it be dissatisfied?
Because she couldn't bear to leave Xingxing, Zizai decided to stay that night. Since returning, Zhu Qianying hadn't had the habit of staying overnight at Yan's house, so after dinner, she said goodnight to Zizai and drove away.
Yan Han was not home that evening because he had to attend the year-end banquet for the shareholders' meeting.
During the meeting, the shareholders inevitably asked about Zhu Qianying.
"Young Master Yan, I heard that your wife has returned from studying abroad. Why didn't you bring her with you tonight?"
These shareholders had basically only seen Zhu Qianying at Yan Shao's wedding. At the shareholders' banquet, almost everyone attended with their families, except for Yan Shao, who, as in the previous five years, was alone.
However, unlike previous years, this year when Young Master Yan mentioned his wife, a rare smile appeared on his face that was so gentle it could kill.
"She's busy too; it's the end of the year, the peak season for jewelry sales."
He spoke with no small amount of pride.
The fact that the young mistress of the Yan family is a well-known jewelry designer has suddenly spread in high society circles in the past two days. In fact, quite a few people have even gone to Ying Jewelry specifically to curry favor with the young master Yan.
However, Zhu Qianying was rarely in the shop, and most of those who wanted to curry favor with her left disappointed.
Similarly, because of Yi Wei's challenge that day, almost all the employees in the jewelry store now know that their chief designer is actually the wife of Yan Shao, the richest man in L City.
In other words, the son that Zhu Qianying was referring to was the heir of the Yanhuang Group.
Therefore, in addition to the respect they had shown before, everyone looked at Zhu Qianying with even more envy.
Ever since Yi Wei came and made a scene that day, Zhu Qianying hasn't returned to the shop. It's not that she feels embarrassed or wants to avoid suspicion; rather, she's been staying home these past two days focusing on her creative work.
So when she finished dinner and left the Yan family home, she stopped by the shop on her way to take a look. She immediately noticed that everyone's attitude towards her seemed to be different. She immediately waved and called over a few shop assistants.
"Hey you guys, what's going on? Am I a monster? Why are you always staring at me like that? Just say what you want!"
After spending time with everyone, Zhu Qianying discovered that these shop assistants were much simpler than the Zhu family members she had dealt with in the Zhu family before.
The store manager was a woman in her thirties named Wang Chunsi.
"Shadow, is your husband Young Master Yan, the CEO of Yanhuang Group?"
Although everyone felt that it was almost certain, since Zhu Qianying asked, it would be good to confirm it and satisfy everyone's curiosity.
Zhu Qianying had a terrible headache. She had thought that since she and Yan Shao had less than a year left in their engagement, it was better not to mention it, so as to avoid having to spend more time explaining things when they got divorced.
Cheng Ye was clearly willing to cooperate, so during her time back, no one had asked her too much about who her husband was.
But after Yi Wei's outburst that night, and with Young Master Yan's arrival in person, it was clearly impossible to hide this matter any longer.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Since we can't hide it anymore, let's just admit it openly. As for what happens a year from now, we'll think about that then.
Wang Chunsi and several shop assistants looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing her answer.
They clearly didn't expect Zhu Qianying to admit it so casually. If it were anyone else, with a husband like that, as a wealthy wife and the richest woman in L City, shouldn't they be announcing it with fanfare?
But this wealthy woman, who seemed to belong in a different world from them, often ate takeout meals costing around twenty yuan a box, just like them, and drove around in her dilapidated car that was so badly damaged that no one would even pick it up if it were left on the roadside.
Is this person really the young mistress of the Yan family?
But they had also witnessed firsthand how much Young Master Yan doted on her, and at this moment, she herself admitted to this fact.
"Shadow, you don't look like the young mistress of the Yan family at all!" Finally, Wang Chunsi voiced the question that had been on everyone's mind.
Zhu Qianying smiled and raised an eyebrow. "What kind of person would the young mistress of the Yan family be?"
"At the very least, dress up in jewels so that people can tell you're rich at a glance!"
"At the very least, whatever you want to eat, just one phone call and the butler will deliver your private gourmet meals!"
"At the very least, you have to drive a super flashy luxury car that will dazzle us!"
The shop assistants chattered amongst themselves, listing out their ideas about what a wealthy woman should look like.
Zhu Qianying smiled but remained silent.
It wasn't that she was deliberately keeping a low profile; rather, apart from bearing the title of the young mistress of the Yan family, she was otherwise no different from the shop assistants in front of her.
Like them, she had to struggle to make ends meet.
Like them, she had to buy a bunch of insurance policies and funds to cover the various unknowns that might occur with her child.
Ultimately, she was no different from them.
However, she was too lazy to explain these things, because even if she did, no one would believe her.
What happened next made even her doubt whether she was still the same Zhu Qianying who was busy making ends meet.
Is she really not Cinderella from a fairy tale?
