Unless he himself falls down, the chance of him hurting Zai Zai is zero.
The little guy nuzzled against his neck a few times, then mumbled sleepily, "Idiot..."
Soon, she fell asleep again.
Zhu Qianying, the one who started it all, was also terrified. Seeing that her son was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to pat her son's back, and glared at Yan Shao.
Yan Shao felt a little guilty, like a child caught doing something wrong, and coughed twice.
Zhu Qianying didn't want to say anything more to him. Seeing that her son had fallen asleep again, she quickened her pace and walked ahead.
Naturally, her approach was quite naive.
With a single stride, Yan Shao's long legs covered the distance of two of her steps.
Sure enough, she hadn't gone far when Young Master Yan, who had been left behind for a short while, quickly caught up.
"Ying'er, I'm sorry!"
Yan Shao's apology was sincere.
Although they were legally husband and wife, in reality, they were just good friends at best.
A man who, under the guise of friendship, looks at his female friend with eyes that seem to strip her naked is, in itself, a disrespectful and extremely lewd act.
When both parties are mutually attracted, this kind of thing is called "romance".
In cases of wishful thinking, it's called voyeurism!
Zhu Qianying turned her face away and ignored him!
Although, in some ways, she could understand him.
After all, he was only thirty-three years old, in the prime of his life. It's perfectly normal for him to have needs.
Moreover, if she wasn't mistaken, during the five years she was away, he probably never had any intimate relations with other women.
As for why she had this idea, she herself was not sure.
In any case, this idea has become increasingly certain recently.
Even though this idea is actually a bit absurd, even bordering on ridiculous.
After all, a man like Yan Shao, who is rich, powerful, and handsome, doesn't even need any hints from him; many women would throw themselves at him and want to get close to him.
While most men may be able to resist power and money, they may not be able to resist beauty; otherwise, there would be no saying that even heroes cannot resist the charms of a beautiful woman.
Even though it was so difficult to establish, Zhu Qianying stubbornly held onto this idea in her heart.
After thinking it over and over in her mind, Zhu Qianying seemed to have figured something out and let out a long sigh of relief.
"never mind……"
Thinking about it, he's quite pitiful...
Zhu Qianying was completely unaware that, instead of being indignant, she ended up feeling sorry for the other party.
Yan Shao had just been kicked hard by her, and his heart sank. He followed her dejectedly, thinking that it would take her at least a day or two to pay attention to him.
Unexpectedly, she forgave him in just a few seconds.
It seems the little one's quick-tempered nature comes from her.
Even though Zhu Qianying softened first, Yan Shao still spoke to her very seriously.
"I didn't mean anything by it...really!"
Yan Shao felt a little ashamed; after all, a grown man like him couldn't control his wandering thoughts.
It's quite embarrassing to admit.
"Um……"
The two of them were awkward for a while, until Zhu Qianying asked, "The villas here must be expensive, right?"
Everyone knew that Zhu Qianying was just making conversation out of nothing.
Yan Shao stopped dwelling on what had just happened, after all, Zhu Qianying had already given him a way out.
"Yeah, that's roughly equivalent to five or six 100-square-meter apartments in the city center!"
"That's really impressive! I even want to work at Yanhuang! But someone like me, I guess, is only fit to be a cleaner or something..."
Zhu Qianying had a great spirit of self-deprecation, but her words reminded Yan Shao of something.
"Ying'er, have you been keeping an eye on the situation at Mingxuan Group lately?"
Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, then said that it was obviously a lie to say no.
After all, when she went to L University to study hotel management, she naively imagined that one day after graduation, she would return to Mingxuan Group and make a name for herself.
But reality is always a master at slapping you in the face. When she was assigned to work as a waitress in the lobby by Zhu Junzhao, she realized that all her dreams of making great strides were just wishful thinking.
It was from that moment that she finally understood that the Zhu family, and even the Mingxuan Group, had never provided a place for her, her mother, and her younger sister Xiaoyu.
"Yes, I have paid attention to some things, but not all of them. After all, the media also has its concerns and taboos."
In fact, no matter what rumors circulated outside that the Yanhuang Group or Young Master Yan was suppressing the Yi and Zhu families, in the days that followed, Yanhuang never intervened or suppressed the Yi and Zhu families in any way.
Yanhuang Group's properties continue to sell well, and it continues to take on one national-level major project after another. It seems that Yi Zhu and his family are completely unrelated to Yanhuang.
If Ruozhu Qianying didn't know the cause and effect of this matter, she probably wouldn't dare to be so sure that the downfall of the Yi and Zhu families was caused by Yan Shao's methods.
Or perhaps this indirectly shows that with Yan Shao's methods and power, dealing with provocateurs like the Yi and Zhu families would be a piece of cake.
"Have you ever thought about going back to Mingxuan?" Young Master Yan had considered this matter more than once, but each time, he couldn't guess what she was thinking.
Zhu Qianying is a very career-oriented woman, that much is undeniable.
But Yan Shao wasn't quite sure whether her ambition lay in jewelry design or hotel management.
Zhu Qianying was caught off guard by the question. After a moment of silence, she replied calmly.
"Why go back? Being seen as a thorn in someone's side is not a pleasant feeling at all."
Besides, both the Zhu family and the Mingxuan Group are hotbeds of trouble. If you really stir things up, it will be very difficult to get out of this unscathed.
She, her mother, and Xiaoyu had never coveted anything from the Zhu family before, and they didn't expect to get anything from them now. All she wanted was for her and her daughters to live a peaceful and happy life.
However, if one becomes involved with the Zhu family or the Mingxuan Group, a peaceful and happy life will likely become a pipe dream.
When Yan Shao heard her say that, he swallowed back the thought that had been brewing in his mind for a long time.
She wanted it, and he got it for her.
If she doesn't want it, then he naturally has no need to take it.
Although, given Mingxuan and the Zhu family's current capabilities, acquiring it would be effortless for him.
“That’s right, there’s really no need! You and Zizai don’t need to rely on Mingxuan to make a living.”
Yan Shao was unaware that, in addition to the Mingxuan shares that Zhu Qianying had promised to return to him as a 100 million yuan refund, she also held 5% of the shares in the Mingxuan Group. These 5% of shares were a wedding gift that the Ji family had given to Zhu Qianying.
Two or three years ago, when Mingxuan Group's stock price reached its highest point in several years, Zhu Qianying had considered cashing out those shares.
