It wasn't until Qin Xiu called to urge them that Yan Shao left the villa with Zhu Qianying and Zizai. Originally, they were supposed to go by car.
But after confirming that it wasn't too far to walk, Zizai insisted on walking. After consulting with Zhu Qianying and receiving a positive response, Yan Shao accompanied the mother and son as they slowly walked along the sidewalk.
Seven or eight minutes later, from a distance, Qin Xiu could be seen standing outside the gate of his villa, looking around.
As they approached, Qin Xiu ran over in surprise, "Sir, why are you walking? Did the car break down?"
"Uncle Qin, it was Zizai who wanted to walk. I'm so sorry we're late." The little guy raised his hand, taking the initiative to take responsibility for being late.
"Zizai is such a good boy. Remember to take my two little lazybones out for a walk sometime. Those two little guys just stay at home and don't want to move at all."
In fact, kids these days are pretty much the same; once they have an iPad in their hand, they don't want to go anywhere else.
However, compared to virtual things online, Zizai seems to prefer outdoor sports and physical activities. Even just taking the dog for a walk can keep him occupied for an entire afternoon.
On the way to Qin Xiu's house, Zizai pleaded with Yan Shao the whole way, wanting Yan Shao to instruct the driver to bring Xingxing over to play with him. Since Zhu Qianying moved back to the apartment, he had been living there and hadn't played with Xingxing for three or four days, so he couldn't help but miss her.
How could Young Master Yan refuse his son's request?
However, the little guy was so cute and adorable that he couldn't resist teasing him a little longer, so he refused with all sorts of excuses and just wouldn't agree.
Then, when they were almost at Qin Xiu's house, the little guy finally realized that his father was teasing him. He turned his head away and ignored his father.
At this moment, the young master who was still ignoring Yan Shao was extremely enthusiastic towards Qin Xiu. After hearing Qin Xiu's request, he ran up and grabbed his arm, speaking very attentively.
"Uncle Qin, please take me to play with my younger brother and sister."
Qin Xiu's family has two children, a daughter who is a little over three years old and a son who is a little over two years old, both at an age when they are extremely mischievous. For adults, this kind of mischief is a headache, but for a little guy like Zizai, this kind of mischief is quite amusing.
Zhu Qianying glanced at Young Master Yan, who was being neglected by his son, and looked on with a gloating expression.
"See? You've made a fool of yourself, haven't you? You've gotten yourself into trouble now."
Although Yan Shao was a little frustrated, he wasn't about to go crazy.
He just felt uneasy and jealous when he saw how close the little guy was to Qin Xiu!
But then he thought again, Zizai's temper comes and goes quickly, and he might be clinging to his father in less than two minutes.
However, his wishful thinking ultimately failed. After seeing Qin Xiu's two adorable children, Zizai immediately took his younger siblings and ran off to play somewhere, without even glancing at his old father.
Qin Xiu was initially puzzled as to why his master walked in with such a sour face. He initially thought he had made a big mistake at work and angered his master.
Later, I learned from Zhu Qianying that the young master was arguing with his father.
Unfortunately, I became cannon fodder.
"Sir, I really didn't know the young master was throwing a tantrum. If I had known..."
Young Master Yan was drinking tea when he glared at him and said, "Get out!"
Qin Xiu quickly scurried off to chat with Ke Kai, while Yan Shao, holding a cup, looked around, thinking he needed to find his precious son as soon as possible and apologize quickly, lest the little guy secretly run to Zhu Qianying and spread rumors about him.
God knows, he finally managed to get Zhu Qianying to stay here for two days. He hoped that a few words from that brat wouldn't ruin his plans!
Although Qin Xiu's villa wasn't as big as his own, it had three floors inside and several hundred square meters outside, with a garden and a swimming pool. How could Young Master Yan possibly find a few mischievous little brats like monkeys just by looking at them?
Yan Shao slipped out of the house, while Zhu Qianying sat with Qin Xiu's wife and Ke Kai's girlfriend, chatting about children.
Qin Xiu's wife is a few years older than Zhu Qianying. Her name is Shao Shan. She was originally a career woman, but after marrying Qin Xiu, she gave up her job to stay at home and take care of her husband and children.
Ke Kai's girlfriend, An Lan, is the same age as Shao Shan and works as a trader at a securities firm. After chatting for a while, Zhu Qianying learned that Ke Kai and An Lan were classmates in the same major at the same prestigious university.
Speaking of which, this was the second time Zhu Qianying had seen Shao Shan and An Lan. The first time was at her wedding with Yan Shao.
Unexpectedly, when we met again, everyone was different.
"Shadow, Qin Xiu was worrying about nothing back then. When our girl was born, he was so happy that he drank a few too many drinks and started talking nonsense to Young Master Yan, telling him to bring you back early to give birth to a prince to inherit the family business. No wonder Young Master Yan ignored him back then. Come to think of it, Zizai was almost a year old at that time."
When Shao Shan brought these things up, Zhu Qianying could only smile and respond one by one, her explanations, of course, were perfectly fabricated.
"Shadow, when are you planning to have a second child? I heard from Kai that Young Master Yan dotes on Zizai terribly. To be honest, I initially thought Kai was just joking, but now I believe it!"
An Lan was a perceptive person. As soon as Yan Shao entered the room and greeted everyone, he slipped out of the house. Needless to say, he went to find his precious son.
When asked about An Lan's question, Zhu Qianying simply laughed it off and brushed it off.
“I really don’t have the energy for that right now. Taking care of children is actually a thousand times harder than working. Shao Shan should understand this better than I do.”
Speaking of this, Shao Shan talked at length about the hardships and joys of taking care of and educating her two mischievous children over the past few years. The bittersweet experience made An Lan, an unmarried woman, a little eager to try it herself.
Shao Shan and An Lan, of course, knew nothing about the relationship between Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao.
The inquiries were purely out of concern, and there wasn't much gossip involved.
Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, has never liked to use her personal relationships as a topic of conversation.
Especially her relationship with Yan Shao. In the past, she would have thought that perhaps she would never want to mention it again in her life.
However, her thoughts now seem to have changed slightly.
If she and Yan Shao have a future together, when they are both old and toothless, she will probably tremble with emotion and bring up this past with Yan Shao, who is at a similar level.
Then, they would tease each other a bit, lament their lack of understanding of love and how to nurture a relationship when they were young, and then, tired of talking, they would snuggle up to each other and lazily doze off on a park bench...
