As it turned out, he made the right bet again.
After hearing his words, Zhu Qianying surprisingly did not refute them.
Although she didn't respond to him, she gave him a meaningful look, then turned her head and stared blankly at the street scene outside the window.
But he saw an emotion, or rather, a fluctuation, in her eyes that was different from her previous confessions.
Yan Shao did not interrupt her silence, knowing that she needed enough time to process and accept it.
Anyway, he's already waited five years, so he doesn't care if he waits another five, ten, twenty years, or even longer.
As long as she is willing to let him stay by her side, even waiting is a beautiful thing that people yearn for!
...
Zhu Qianying's wound healed quickly, and scabs began to form after two days.
As her wounds gradually healed, Zhu Qianying began to slowly pack her luggage, preparing to move back to her apartment in a few days.
As for Yan Shao, he was as busy as ever. It was probably because he had been abroad for too long, resulting in a large backlog of work. Ever since he said those words to Zhu Qianying in the car that day, the two of them had basically had no time to be alone together.
Naturally, he would never say such mushy things to Zhu Qianying again.
Zhu Qianying wasn't sure if he was really that busy, or if he was just pretending to be busy so she would have more time to think things through.
But whether it's the former or the latter, Zhu Qianying is happy to accept it.
Zhu Qianying knew very well that she really needed time to think things through.
What she needs to do is simply answer two yes-or-no questions.
First, should we believe him?
Second, should you try to love him again?
Regarding point one, if she can believe, then love has a foundation.
Regarding the second point, if she can still love, then her marriage with him, which is only superficially harmonious, will have a completely new future.
In other words, if she can trust him, if she still dares to try to love him, then Zai Zai will truly have a complete family.
It must be said that the final outcome was extremely tempting to her, but she was unwilling to force herself to do anything for her son.
Even so, in the eyes of many self-righteous people, her choice is a selfish act.
But she really didn't want to force herself anymore!
Five years ago, she forced herself to do something, but that's what led to this outcome.
Therefore, she will never force herself for anyone again, including her son.
She believed that if she became a bitter woman to fulfill her son's wishes, her son would not be able to find true happiness, because that so-called complete family was nothing more than a beautiful shell.
After a period of confusion, Zhu Qianying finally sorted out her thoughts and prepared to face the situation bravely.
Next, Zhu Qianying hoped to give herself and him enough time and space to carefully observe, think things through, and cautiously choose the answer she believed she truly wanted in her heart, without interfering with each other.
On Saturday evening, Zhu Qianying and her daughter, along with the Yan family, had dinner together and, as usual, sat in the living room, either enjoying tea, chatting, watching TV, or surfing the internet.
Yan Shao didn't work overtime today, which was rare. After dinner, he spent time with his parents and Chen Jing enjoying tea.
Zizai nestled obediently in Zhu Qianying's arms, instead of wriggling around restlessly as usual. Needless to say, it was because he was mindful of the injury on Zhu Qianying's hand.
Zhu Qianying glanced at the elders who were chatting quietly and at Young Master Yan, who was unusually making tea for them. She patted her son's head and suddenly called out, "Uncle and Aunt..."
Yan Bo and his wife looked up at the same time, and before they could ask any questions, Zhu Qianying spoke first.
"The wound on my hand has almost healed. My mom and I are planning to move back home on Wednesday. Sorry for bothering you these past few days!"
Yan Bo and his wife were taken aback. Clearly, they had gotten used to Zhu Qianying and her daughter and Zizai living in the Yan family home, and in their hearts, they had long considered the three of them to be part of this family.
Therefore, they never imagined that one day they would leave.
Or perhaps it's not that they never thought about it, but rather that they were unwilling to consider this possibility.
“Ying’er…”
Old Madam Yan tried to dissuade her, but Zhu Qianying spoke up again.
"Auntie, as for what happens to Zizai, my mother and I have no objections. We respect his opinion."
In other words, if Zizai says he wants to stay at the Yan family's house indefinitely, she won't interfere. However, based on her understanding of Zizai, this possibility is practically nonexistent.
"Mommy, can I go back with you and come back to visit Grandpa, Grandma, and Daddy on Saturday and Sunday?" The little guy was very calm, it seemed that Zhu Qianying had already prepared him in advance.
Zhu Qianying looked at the Yan family members, waiting for their response. But in reality, everyone present knew that, as the passive party, neither Yan Bo and his wife nor Young Master Yan had the right to say no.
Zhu Qianying had already given them a lot of face by asking for their opinions first.
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, there's nothing we can say. Anyway, this is your home with Zizai and Ajing. You can come back anytime you want."
Yan Bo, as the head of the family, spoke on behalf of the Yan family of three.
Yan Shao, however, has not expressed any opinion.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak out, but rather that he understood very well that his opinion was not enough to influence Zhu Qianying's decision.
At the very least, for now, it really doesn't affect her in the slightest.
Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, Zhu Qianying originally planned to move away after returning from her business trip to the United States, but because of her injury, she had to stay here for a few more days.
“You can move back, but I need to arrange for a few people to keep watch around your area for a while. In the short term, it would be safer for you to be driven around by a driver.”
Young Master Yan can let her go back, but we cannot let our guard down when it comes to her safety.
He also considered secretly protecting them, just like before.
However, the other party was too cunning. Moreover, since they were in the open while the other party was in the dark, before they could figure out the other party's methods, Zhu Qianying and her daughter had better maintain 100% vigilance and caution.
"Yes, I understand! I've been relatively free lately, and when I go out, it's mostly to accompany my mom to check on the progress at the shop. In short, if there's nothing urgent, we'll try to minimize going out."
Since Yan Shao was so frank, Zhu Qianying gladly accepted his kind offer.
After all, when it comes to life and safety, self-esteem and other things seem insignificant.
“Zizai, how about you spend some more time with Grandpa and Grandma for a while? Mommy’s hand hasn’t fully recovered yet, so it’s not very convenient for me to take care of you.”
Zhu Qianying's statement was merely an excuse; it was purely out of concern for Zizai's safety.
The little guy looked at her intently for a while, and finally nodded.
