Zhu Qianying hugged her son, but her angry gaze was fixed on Yan Shao's handsome face. She gritted her teeth and said.
"Is the tea good?"
As if he hadn't noticed the anger in her words, Yan Shao turned his head and gave her a smirk.
"Try it!" he said, bringing the cup to her lips in such a natural and intimate gesture that it drove Zhu Qianying crazy!
Even as I sat behind my desk flipping through the documents, the image of Yan Shao's hateful face still floated onto the paper.
"Shadow, there's a meeting in half an hour, you need to come too!"
Cheng Ye knocked on the door from the outside, pushed it open, poked his head in, and said something to her.
"Okay!" Zhu Qianying quickly regained her composure and focused on the work at hand.
She hadn't forgotten that she had promised to take two days off to play with Zizai.
After the meeting ended, everyone else left, leaving only Zhu Qianying and Cheng Ye in the conference room.
"Cheng, I should be able to finish my work in about five more days."
When it comes to work-related matters, Zhu Qianying always has to inform Cheng Ye. As for personal matters, she won't say anything unless he asks.
"Hmm, will we go straight back to China then?" Cheng Ye's next steps are still pending.
"No, I'll stay with Zizai for two days before going back. He still misses this place quite a bit."
Cheng Ye's eyes darkened. "With Young Master Yan?"
His itinerary was still undecided; he was thinking of arranging it according to her schedule. If she returned to China, he would follow her. In any case, there was a mountain of things to deal with back in L City, waiting for him to go back and handle them.
But the arrival of Yan Shao and Zizai shattered his perfect plan!
"Well, he brought Zizai here, so he has to take care of his daily needs. Otherwise, I still have a few days to go, and who will look after Zizai?"
Zhu Qianying gave Yan Shao a perfectly legitimate excuse almost without thinking.
But Cheng Ye knew that Zizai was the kind of child with extremely strong self-care ability. Even if Zhu Qianying was very busy and brought him to the office, he could still find his own fun to pass the day.
"I thought we'd be going back to China together, but it seems I only need to book my own ticket!"
Cheng Ye said this with a smile, but Zhu Qianying heard a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow in his voice.
"sorry……"
Zhu Qianying began to consider whether or not she should really resign.
It wasn't that she wanted to betray Cheng Ye, but rather that Cheng Ye's current stubbornness worried her.
She didn't want to hurt him, and even less did she want him to continue sinking deeper into despair.
"Here we go again! Go on, get on with your own business, otherwise you won't be able to find time to spend with Zizai later. I'm a ruthless boss, I won't let you leave until you finish your work."
Of course, they both knew whether it was evil or not; it was just a joke.
As the chief designer of Ying Jewelry, Zhu Qianying bears a heavy responsibility; it is no exaggeration to say that she shares the same responsibility as Cheng Ye.
Therefore, even if Cheng Ye didn't ask, Zhu Qianying wouldn't allow herself to be lazy or cut corners and do her job carelessly.
That evening, Zhu Qianying drove home by herself. As soon as she got out of the car, she heard her son's clear laughter. Looking up, she saw the father and son in the yard, each holding a water hose and spraying each other vigorously.
It turns out that the father and son were going to water the flowers, but in the end, it turned into a water fight.
The climate in Country M is similar to that in City L. It's currently the season of fluctuating temperatures, and it would be a lie to say that you're not cold when splashed with cool water.
Yan Shao is strong and healthy, Zhu Qianying knows that, and Zizai is also in good health, but he may not be able to withstand this kind of play!
Seeing how much fun the father and son were having, Zhu Qianying didn't want to scold them. She held onto the courtyard gate, hesitating whether to turn a blind eye and let them continue playing, or to speak up and stop them.
The father and son, who were playing in the yard, noticed her first, and almost simultaneously dropped the hose and walked towards Zhu Qianying with a splashing sound.
Compared to Yan Shao, the little guy has shorter legs and can only run, while Yan Shao has longer legs and can easily take a few steps to reach Zhu Qianying.
"You're back?"
The tall man asked softly, reaching out to take her bag.
This feeling was particularly jarring, even though my mother had done similar things before.
But the person in front of me is Young Master Yan!
He was always greeted by others as they left work, who would take his bag, help him take off his coat and hang it up, and even hand him his slippers.
However, right now, Young Master Yan, who should be enjoying all the services, is actually taking her bag attentively. How could she not be flattered?
After Yan Shao took her bag, he saw that she looked completely dumbfounded, and he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart again.
"Are you exhausted?"
After teasing her, Yan Shao finally couldn't help but lower his head and gently bite her lips, but only lightly, almost immediately.
Having witnessed Yan Shao's mischievous antics several times that day, the young master's smile grew increasingly bright and meaningful.
"Mommy, Zizai wants a kiss too..."
He kept shouting as if he wanted to stir up trouble, while waving his hands for a hug.
Zhu Qianying glanced at her son's wet hair, which was dripping with water, and immediately came to her senses. "Be good, stop making a fuss!"
Having no time to settle scores with Young Master Yan, Zhu Qianying grabbed the little guy's arm and led him into the house.
"Mommy, Zizai wants a kiss..."
The little guy was still making a fuss, so Zhu Qianying patted his head and said, "If you keep yelling, I'll throw you to your daddy so he can kiss you all he wants!"
Zhu Qianying's threat worked as expected. The little guy spit out his head, tossed it, and huffed arrogantly.
"I don't want him to kiss me! That lazy bum who doesn't shave, it's so uncomfortable!"
Zhu Qianying found it amusing and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Yan Shao's chin.
Although the area was tinged with a faint bluish hue, there was no obvious beard in sight!
"The little thing is complaining that I didn't shave the other day!" Young Master Yan explained with a smile.
Zhu Qianying scrutinized him carefully for a few moments. How could someone as fastidious as him go several days without shaving? That was truly a wonder of the world!
The truth is, in order to squeeze out a few days to accompany Zizai to see Zhu Qianying, Young Master Yan piled up a bunch of things that needed his personal attention and dealt with them all at once in the past few days.
Therefore, the young master, who had been granted special permission to freely enter and leave his study, had the rare opportunity to witness an unprecedentedly slovenly young master.
Zhu Qianying was suspicious, but she wasn't foolish enough to ask any questions.
Young Master Yan has been acting strangely lately, or rather, sharply. No matter what she says or asks, he always manages to steer the conversation to an ambiguous angle.
When Young Master Yan saw that Zhu Qianying was not responding, he stroked his chin with a hint of smugness, looking deep in thought.
"Actually, I think I look quite manly with a beard, but the little guy is still a kid, so he doesn't know how to appreciate it!"
Zhu Qianying was speechless at his vanity. She gave him a dismissive look, then turned and led Zizai into the house.
