That night, Cheng Ye did nothing else out of line. It was unclear whether it was because of her resolute words or because he truly did not want to force her.
After that night, the two of them continued to live peacefully on the surface, each busy with their own things, but Zhu Qianying's heart was always uneasy.
Because Cheng Ye's attitude towards her seemed to have regressed to the way it was before Zizai was sent back to China.
Zhu Qianying felt quite helpless about this. She had said and done everything she could, but Cheng Ye was like an indestructible body. No matter how hard she stabbed him, he remained standing.
Several times, she even maliciously thought that she should find a man to pretend to date, so that Cheng Ye would probably give up completely.
Whether it was because they heard her thoughts or it was premeditated, on the tenth day after Zhu Qianying returned to the United States, her office door was knocked on as often as it had been.
"Come in!"
Zhu Qianying treated him as an assistant, so she didn't even raise her head.
"Mommy!"
A crisp sound rang out, startling Zhu Qianying so much that she abruptly raised her head and looked in surprise at the owner of the sound who was rushing towards her.
Behind the little guy was a man with a composed demeanor.
He strode in with steady, unhurried steps, a faint smile on his face, completely different from the little guy's ecstatic joy.
"Honey, what brings you here?"
Zhu Qianying glanced at the tall and imposing man, then picked up her son and kissed and nuzzled him.
After kissing for a while, the little guy crawled out of her arms and knelt on her thighs. He didn't answer Zhu Qianying's question directly, but instead cupped her face and asked.
"Mommy, aren't you surprised?"
"Of course, I'm so excited I could fly!" Zhu Qianying exaggeratedly made a rocket-like flying gesture.
"Haha, Zai Zai knew it!"
The little guy laughed heartily, leaned in, and gave Zhu Qianying a bunch of random kisses on her face.
The man walked up to the mother and son without interrupting, and showed no intention of interfering in their intimate behavior.
He simply watched the mother and son quietly, with a doting smile on his face.
Of course, he wanted to get involved, but he knew that Zhu Qianying would never let him kiss and hug her like she would her son.
After finally getting to spend enough time with her son, Zhu Qianying instructed her assistant via intercom to prepare some food and drinks for the little guy before pouring a glass of water and handing it to the man.
"Why are you here?"
"Little thing missed you!" Yan Shao gestured towards the little guy who was leaning back on the sofa like an old man.
"Coward, using me as an excuse again!" The little guy arrogantly glared at Yan Han.
Yan Han simply smiled and did not refute the little guy's words.
Zhu Qianying pretended not to understand what the father and son were saying, walked over and sat down next to the little guy, patted his head, and asked, "Where is school? Did you take leave?"
"Hmm..." The little guy nodded.
"Don't worry, the little one can keep up." Yan Han quickly interjected, probably afraid that Zhu Qianying would blame the little guy.
Zhu Qianying was speechless. She glanced at him and said, "Just keep spoiling him..."
Yan Han simply smiled and did not deny it.
Zizai is his son; if he doesn't spoil him, who will?
The assistant quickly bought food and drinks according to Zizai's tastes. Zizai nestled in Zhu Qianying's arms, took a few sips of his drink, and then said to Zhu Qianying, "Mommy, I'm going to see Uncle Cheng!"
Zhu Qianying had no suspicions and patted his bottom, signaling him to hurry up.
The little guy jumped off the ground, winked at Yan Han secretly, and then ran off in a flash.
Before Zhu Qianying could even look away from the door, she was caught off guard when she heard Yan Han say, "Actually, it's not just the little one who misses you, I miss you too!"
Zhu Qianying wanted to run out with Zizai again, but she ultimately suppressed her impulse, turned her head, and smiled at him.
"Really? I wasn't thinking about you!"
The teasing tone made it hard to tell whether it was genuine or not.
Yan Han's deep affection and expression remained unaffected by her words. He merely raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Is that so?"
Zhu Qianying really wanted to slap him. Where did his inexplicable confidence come from?!
"Of course it's true! Did you think I would miss you?" Zhu Qianying seemed a little embarrassed and angry.
Yan Han slightly curved his lips, looking at her with tenderness and doting eyes.
"I didn't think so, I just... hoped you would miss me!"
Zhu Qianying glared at him. "I'm so busy, how could I have time to think about you?"
She thought this would shut Yan Han up, but little did she know, Yan Han was shameless and persistent.
"So that means you'll still think of me when you have time, is that right?"
Zhu Qianying no longer wanted to talk to him; all she wanted to do was pounce on him and tear his handsome face, with its annoying smile, to shreds.
Did this man fly all the way here just to spite her?
"By the way, Zizai's school needs a certificate issued by the hospital where he was born. That's the main reason I came here!"
Seeing that she was almost at her limit from being amused by him, Yan Han quickly changed the subject.
Sure enough, as soon as the topic changed, Zhu Qianying immediately returned to her usual self.
"What proof?"
Zhu Qianying took the documents from Yan Shao, flipped through them, and said, "Hmm, I'll take half a day tomorrow to take Zizai to the hospital to get them done."
She was a little surprised; it turned out that the father and son had come for serious business.
Zhu Qianying was suspicious, but couldn't find any flaws, so she didn't think about it any further. Anyway, the person had come, so what was the reason?
"Okay, I'll arrange the driver and car."
Zhu Qianying replied, "No need, I have my own car."
On this matter, Yan Shao was exceptionally stubborn.
"You must be very tired after working so hard. This place isn't too far from your city, but it's not too close either. It's best not to drive when you're fatigued!"
Since it concerned safety, Zhu Qianying could no longer insist and had no choice but to nod in agreement to his arrangement.
"Please have a seat, I'll go tell Cheng Ye."
Yan Han stood up as well, "I'll go with you!"
Zhu Qianying couldn't say no. Since she was here, it would be unreasonable not to say hello.
"Okay, let's go together!"
A moment later, the two of them knocked on the door next door together.
Although Cheng Ye learned from Zizai that he had come with Yan Shao, he still couldn't quite accept seeing Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao walk in together.
If he didn't have any particular feelings for Zhu Qianying, he would admit that Zhu Qianying and Yan Han standing together were not only pleasing to the eye, but also surprisingly well-matched.
"Daddy and Mommy!"
Zizai shouted loudly, rushed over and squeezed between the two, holding Zhu Qianying's hand with his left hand and Yan Han's hand with his right hand as he walked up to Cheng Ye.
"Uncle Cheng, how about we have lunch together?"
Cheng Ye paused for a moment, but quickly nodded.
