Speechless, Young Master Yan was defeated once again.
He gave her a deep look, then silently turned and went back into the house.
"Young Master, you..."
The two were talking outside on the terrace, which Uncle Hai inside the house couldn't hear, but he could see their tense atmosphere through the glass and felt a sense of foreboding.
"Uncle Hai, prepare another guest room on the third floor."
Ignoring Uncle Hai's concern, Yan Shao finished giving his instructions, pinched his brow, and turned to go upstairs looking quite tired.
Uncle Hai was helpless to help the two of them in their current situation; he could only watch anxiously and feel sorry for them.
After waiting outside for a while, Zhu Qianying came inside. Before Uncle Hai could say anything, she took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Hai, do you have a laptop I can use?"
She left early in the morning to meet with a designer about shop decoration, so her bag only contained her phone and wallet.
She urgently needs a computer to handle her work matters, both now and in the next few days.
Uncle Hai turned to get her the computer. "Ying'er, the room on the left side of the third floor by the window has been prepared. Go up and rest for a while. I'll bring the computer up in a bit."
Zhu Qianying said thank you and went upstairs. As she walked around the corridor, she could clearly see the doors to Yan Shao's bedroom and study on the right, but she walked straight past them without looking to either side.
As I opened the guest room door, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Cheng Ye, whom I hadn't contacted for several days.
"Cheng, is something the matter?"
Zhu Qianying felt a little guilty because she had been sick for two days and then had been preoccupied with personal matters, causing her to fall far behind in her work. With the date she had promised to submit the design drawings getting closer and closer, how could she not feel guilty?
"Shadow, I heard you were sick? Are you feeling any better?"
Cheng Ye wasn't an unscrupulous boss; when he called, it wasn't to urge her to work, but rather to inquire about her health.
"It's alright, thank you for your concern."
Zhu Qianying slipped into the guest room and sat down on the bed.
"Shadow, it's okay if you hand in those design drawings half a month late. The Spring Festival is just around the corner. You should spend some time with Aunt Jing and Zizai. There's no rush!"
Cheng Ye's thoughtfulness deeply moved Zhu Qianying.
"Hmm, let me see. If it really doesn't work, I'll submit it later."
It was precisely because she was moved that she felt embarrassed to delay. So, although she said she would submit it later, she was actually prepared to work overtime to finish the manuscript.
"Don't try to fool me. I'm telling you, if you submit the drawing in a couple of days, I'll deduct half a month's salary from your pay. Do a good job and don't rush to submit it!"
Cheng Ye on the other end of the phone seemed to have a sixth sense, as if he could see right through her thoughts.
Zhu Qianying was speechless. Was her mind really that easy to understand?
Yan Shao and Cheng Ye could easily guess her thoughts, and this feeling of being stripped naked and spied on was just too much!
Not getting a response from her, Cheng Ye on the other end of the phone said again, "I'm going back to L City for the Lantern Festival. Remember to treat me well as a host!"
Mentioning this matter gave Zhu Qianying a headache.
Cheng Ye had previously stated that after the Spring Festival, he would gradually shift his work focus to L City because he needed to prepare for the branch store's opening there.
She wasn't worried about work; what worried her was that it would entangle her and Cheng Ye in a complicated situation.
With the rapid economic development in China in recent years, she understands Cheng Ye's desire to expand his business domestically.
However, for the domestic headquarters, Beijing is undoubtedly a more suitable location than L City.
However, he insisted on settling in L City, and the implications of this are self-evident.
“Cheng, I still think that Beijing is more suitable for setting up headquarters than L City.”
Zhu Qianying was still making a last-ditch effort, trying to persuade Cheng Ye to give up the idea of settling in L City.
“Shadow, didn’t I tell you? L City has great development potential and room for growth. Compared to Beijing, which is already quite mature in all aspects, I’m more optimistic about L City. Besides, the rent there is cheaper, and I can barely afford it.”
Having said all that, Zhu Qianying knew she was powerless to change the situation.
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more. See you on the Lantern Festival!"
Hearing a faint knock on the door, Zhu Qianying hurriedly said goodbye to Cheng Ye and got up to open it.
They thought it was Uncle Hai bringing the computer up, but little did they know, it was Young Master Yan.
"I just looked in the walk-in closet and saw that all of these are new. It's a bit of a waste to just throw them away!"
As he spoke, he pulled a suitcase from behind him and walked into the guest room with an air of nonchalance.
Yan Shao's shamelessness has been refreshed once again!
Zhu Qianying no longer wanted to express any opinion, and just watched him drag his suitcase to the wardrobe, thinking that he would leave after throwing down the suitcase.
Unexpectedly, he stopped in front of the wardrobe, reached out, and opened the wardrobe door.
Zhu Qianying felt a sense of foreboding. Was he going to help her pack all those things out one by one?
Yan Shao's swift actions proved her bad premonition had come true.
Yan Shao squatted in front of the suitcase, reaching for the various styles and colors of underwear, while Zhu Qianying felt like dying.
Her face flushed red from her neck to her cheeks, and what was most infuriating was that she damnably remembered that the set of lake-blue underwear he was holding was the one he had brought back for her two or three days after their wedding.
She actually never wore it, not because it was unsuitable, but because she never had the chance to wear it!
This man, he definitely did it on purpose!!
Zhu Qianying was so angry she wanted to tear the man and the clothes he was holding to shreds.
But her strong rationality intervened in time to stop her impulse.
His purpose in doing this was simply to provoke her, or to provoke her.
Since he so desires it, she refuses to grant his wish.
Zhu Qianying took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her inner turmoil and impulsiveness. She deliberately walked back to the bed with charming little steps, lazily leaning against the headboard, like a queen, watching from top to bottom as Young Master Yan clumsily took out the messy clothes from his suitcase one by one.
"Heh, so even Young Master Yan has things he's not good at!"
Zhu Qianying looked at him with a smile, making sarcastic remarks that seemed like she was asking for a beating.
Young Master Yan didn't seem to mind her harshness. He turned his head, and his dark eyes met hers directly.
"Actually, this isn't what I'm worst at!"
"So what are you least good at?" As soon as the question left her mouth, Zhu Qianying secretly regretted it. This was clearly a huge pit. How could she be so stupid as to jump into it?
Sure enough, Yan Shao's next words made Zhu Qianying wish she could bite off her own tongue that had caused the trouble.
"The thing I'm worst at is pleasing you!"
