"Young Master Yan, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
She assumed that Young Master Yan probably wanted to tell her something in private.
Or perhaps, her performance today didn't meet his expectations, so he came over specifically to teach her a lesson?
Young Master Yan looked impatient. "I'll take you home!"
Zhu Qianying quickly shook her head, "Young Master Yan, no need, no need, the driver can take me."
I, Zhu Qianying, am unworthy to trouble you, Young Master Yan, with such an honor.
As the saying goes, "a forced melon is not sweet," and things obtained by force can shorten one's lifespan!
Yan Shao raised an eyebrow. "Enough with the nonsense, get in the car!" he said, striding past her toward his vehicle.
Yan Shao was also unhappy. "You think I wanted to give you a ride? It's just that if I didn't, my leg would be ruined!"
Zhu Qianying loves to see others feel frustrated, especially to see someone like Yan Shao, who usually acts all high and mighty, get his comeuppance!
Zhu Qianying was secretly pleased, but she dared not show it on her face. Otherwise, if this old man really got angry and chopped her up with a "snap," what life goals and joys would she have left?
Seeing Yan Shao walk towards the most flashy yellow Ferrari sports car in the garage, Zhu Qianying felt an itch in her heart, as if it were crawling with fleas.
"Young Master Yan, how about I drive and you sit and rest?"
Yan Shao looked around warily. The driver who had led Zhu Qianying down had already discreetly disappeared somewhere, leaving only him and Zhu Qianying in the huge garage.
"Okay, you drive!"
Yan Shao seemed to be in a better mood. He turned around and flicked his hand. A silver flash streaked across the air. Zhu Qianying, quick-witted and agile, reached out and caught the car key in her palm.
"Good eye!" Young Master Yan's mood seemed to have completely improved. He squinted at Zhu Qianying and gave her a rare compliment.
Zhu Qianying pouted, and a sharp whistle suddenly rang out in the garage.
Yan Shao paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and snapped his fingers at Zhu Qianying, "Come on, let me show you your driving skills!"
With a slight smile, he strode around to the passenger side.
Zhu Qianying was unfamiliar with the Yan family's courtyard, but she had been in and out of this garage several times. She skillfully backed the car out of the parking space, and even so, a hint of appreciation appeared in Young Master Yan's eyes.
You should know that this car was parked in a very tricky spot. If you weren't a skilled driver, you might not be able to back it out successfully even after a long time.
Zhu Qianying drove the car out of the garage and headed directly towards the gate.
In Yan Shao's impression, most women are terrible with directions, but she was clearly an exception.
"Young Master Yan, was my performance today not very good?" Zhu Qianying asked as the car drove away from the Yan family gate and onto the main road.
Yan Shao looked at her strangely, "You also have times when you lack confidence?", his words full of sarcasm.
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him, "Nonsense, I'm human too."
"Whether you've done well or not, just look at my mother. Why are you asking me?"
Yan Shao felt a little jealous. Although Zhu Qianying was the wife he chose to appease his mother, the person she would be with in the future was him, not his mother and father.
Why is it that she's given gifts and acts all obedient and ingratiating when she's only meeting her parents for the first time?
But with him, forget about gifts; even asking him to cook a meal would make him give him a hard time!
He only wanted to leave her waiting for a few minutes, but she changed her expression, picked up her food, and turned to leave!
But my parents, first they brought me a famous embroidery and a jade ruyi, and today they specially brought two potted plants with very auspicious meanings. This kind of thoughtfulness is something that not just anyone can do.
Even if you can do it, you might not be able to do it correctly!
But she not only did it, she did it right!
It's clear that she cares for her parents far more than she cares for him, her future husband!
How clever was Zhu Qianying? Sensing that his tone was slightly off, she glanced at him in the rearview mirror.
He was leaning back in his seat, his eyes slightly closed and his lips tightly pressed together. Although his eyes were not visible, it was easy to tell from his face that he was very unhappy.
What a waste of such a handsome face!
Zhu Qianying felt a pang of regret, but she comforted him by saying, "It's actually easier to guess what elders are thinking than young people. They only like a few things over and over again. But successful men like Young Master Yan have extraordinary tastes, so I can't possibly guess your preferences."
Zhu Qianying's words were eloquent. She praised Young Master Yan highly and then gave herself a plausible excuse for not preparing a thoughtful gift for him.
Sure enough, Young Master Yan slightly opened his eyes and looked at her quietly with a sidelong glance.
Zhu Qianying assumed he was ignoring her and stopped talking, focusing on driving.
It had been very quiet around her, so she assumed he was asleep and didn't pay any more attention to his movements. When the car stopped at a red light, she turned her head and was suddenly startled by Yan Shao's dark eyes.
It's a natural reaction for people to be frightened; that can't be faked.
Seeing how terrified she was of him, Yan Shao smiled wickedly.
"Weren't you supposed to be incredibly brave? You're scared already?"
Zhu Qianying finally recovered and patted her chest to calm herself down.
"I may be incredibly audacious, but you have no idea how terrifying you were just now!"
The roadside trees where the car was parked were covered with shimmering green neon lights, so the place where Young Master Yan was sitting was enveloped in a soft green glow.
At this moment, Yan Shao's face was green. He had just stared wide-eyed, and his face, which emitted a faint green light, along with his round, shiny black eyes, was enough to terrify anyone just by imagining it!
Moreover, Zhu Qianying saw it without any warning, so it's no wonder she was terrified!
Yan Shao's mood inexplicably soared again after he had startled Zhu Qianying.
"Hey, didn't you say you didn't even have money to buy a phone? Where did you get the money to buy gifts for your parents?"
Young Master Yan hadn't forgotten how she had smashed her phone and refused to buy a new one. At first, he thought she was just greedy and stingy, but after visiting her home, he truly believed she was genuinely poor, not greedy.
According to her father, the brocade box was conservatively estimated to be worth several hundred thousand, and the jade ruyi was worth about one hundred thousand. So, all together, where did she, an unemployed woman, get nearly a million yuan?
"Two potted plants aren't expensive!"
At first, Young Master Yan would have laughed at her for being so foolish, but now he knows she's just pretending!
"Who told you about the potted plant? I was talking about the brocade box and the jade ruyi." Young Master Yan became impatient again.
He preferred her to be more straightforward and decisive than to her current evasive and evasive manner.
"I borrowed it from a friend!" Zhu Qianying casually made up a big story.
It seems that Young Master Yan clearly saw through her family's messy situation and knew she was poor, which is why he asked about the money for the gift.
