"Now, rather than hating these things, I prefer to accompany you two to stroll through the market and pick out seafood that suits everyone's taste."
"This pleasure is far more intense than the pain of overcoming my obsessive-compulsive disorder. The two are essentially a matter of giving and receiving. If I couldn't overcome my obsessive-compulsive disorder, I wouldn't be able to enjoy that happiness and joy. Comparing the two, I chose to overcome my inner demons and, at the same time, enjoy the pleasure of strolling through the market with you all."
Therefore, Yan Shao's change was not a deliberate attempt to pander, but rather a choice made to maximize his own interests.
Zhu Qianying fell silent; this was something she had never thought of before.
She has always felt that it is very painful for a person to change for someone else and that they will gradually lose themselves.
Like my mother, when she was still in the Zhu family, she compromised for Zhu Zhizhou, suppressing her own personality and ideas in various ways, and in the end, she became a weak, indecisive, and ignorant woman.
Therefore, she herself has been resisting change.
Whether she changes for others, or others change for her.
But after hearing Yan Shao's words, she fell into deep thought.
In other words, changing for someone isn't necessarily a bad thing; the key is that the person you're changing for is someone worthwhile.
For Yan Shao, he and Zai Zai were worth overcoming his long-standing habits, so he chose to change.
The matter is actually that simple; it's just that I've complicated it.
"Okay, I understand!"
Surprisingly, Zhu Qianying did not insist on her own ideas anymore, but after responding to Yan Shao, she fell into deep thought again.
Now, Yan Shao finally understood why Chen Jing said she hoped to find a man who would treat Zhu Qianying as both a lover and a daughter.
Because, in some ways, Zhu Qianying really is just like a child.
It's not fair to call her naive; rather, it's more accurate to say that she deliberately preserves a pure and innocent state of mind for herself.
He became increasingly confident that he was getting closer and closer to the scenario Chen Jing had described.
Originally, he was eight years older than her, and in terms of both experience and mindset, he should have been her mentor and friend.
But he used to put himself in the wrong place. He should have been a husband or a lover, but he put himself in the position of a ruler. He always acted superior and arrogant towards her, and always demanded that she do this and that for him.
Looking back, I realize how willful I was in the past, no wonder she was disappointed and ultimately despaired.
The car quickly drove back to the villa. Yan Shao got out of the car first and reached out to carry Zizai out of the car. After resting for a while, Zizai, who had regained his energetic appearance, jumped out of the car by himself and ran to Qin Xiu's car to wait for Nannan and Tingting to get out.
The three little brats said they wanted to stay in the garden to play. With bodyguards following them, Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying didn't need to worry about their safety, so they let them play by themselves.
The four entered the house, and Shao Shan was immediately amazed upon entering.
"Wow, it's so big and beautiful! So you know, there's no harm without comparison. I thought my house was already a mansion, but after seeing your house, I'll never dare to call mine a mansion again."
Shao Shan's words made Yan Shao and Qin Xiu subconsciously look at Zhu Qianying.
Shao Shan was unaware of the details, but Qin Xiu knew the general outline.
As it turns out, the two men were being far too sensitive.
Zhu Qianying didn't react at all to Shao Shan's mention of "your family," and just smiled and pointed at Yan Shaodao.
"Sister Shan, I didn't participate in the decoration or anything here. If you want to worship, you should worship Young Master Yan!"
Zhu Qianying's reaction relieved Yan Shao.
Little did she know that Shao Shan had just stepped on one landmine when she stepped on another.
"Shadow, you're being strange. Why do you keep calling him 'Young Master Yan'? That's an outsider's way of addressing him. At least call him Brother Yan or Brother Han!"
Upon hearing the nickname "Brother Han," Zhu Qianying couldn't help but shiver, because the nickname reminded her of Yi Wei.
It seems like the nickname "Brother Han" is exclusively for Yi Wei.
The landmine that Shao Shan stepped on was clearly much bigger than the one she had just stepped on.
This time, Qin Xiu tugged at Shao Shan's arm and said, "Shan, I'm thirsty. Go get some drinks for me and Grandpa."
Shao Shan, however, was not fooled. She looked at Zhu Qianying with great interest, waiting for her answer.
"It's just a habit! Anyway, what you call them doesn't matter. For example, some people always like to call their husbands 'enemies' or 'dead devils.' Others may find it strange or jarring, but the person in question finds it incredibly affectionate, doesn't she?"
Zhu Qianying's reply was calm and understated, but it avoided an awkward situation.
Shao Shan was satisfied with this answer. "That's right. Of course, you wouldn't call Young Master Yan 'dead ghost' in public, but it would sound quite intimate if you did call him that in private."
It turned out that she had completely misunderstood Zhu Qianying's words.
Whether she misunderstood or not is not important. What is important is that after getting the answer, she obediently went to the refrigerator to get a drink.
"Sir, Shadow, I'm sorry, Shan is used to speaking without thinking."
Zhu Qianying smiled good-naturedly, "Brother Qin, I don't think it's a big deal, you're overthinking it."
Yan Shao narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Zhu Qianying's expression, discovering that she was in a very good mood today, and Shao Shan's words seemed to have no effect on her mood at all.
"You all sit down, I'll go out and get some drinks for the kids." As a mother, Zhu Qianying naturally cared about the children.
Actually, everyone was a bit tired after shopping all morning. The kids, however, have more energy and can catch their breath after a short rest, but it's still essential to stay hydrated.
After Zhu Qianying left, Qin Xiu solemnly apologized to Yan Shao once again.
Zhu Qianying didn't mind, and Yan Shao naturally didn't mind either.
He was even grateful for Shao Shan's outspokenness; otherwise, he wouldn't have known that her tolerance for him had reached a whole new level.
"Master, speaking of which, I feel like Shadow seems different after he was injured this time?"
If even Qin Xiu could sense it, how could Young Master Yan not?
However, Yan Shao wanted to keep this a secret and savor it in his heart, so he shrugged nonchalantly.
"Really? I didn't notice anything different. Is it just your imagination?"
Qin Xiu looked Yan Shao up and down suspiciously for a few moments, and finally couldn't help but say, "Of course it's not my imagination!"
Although Qin Xiu insisted that he had not misread it, he could not explain exactly where the difference was.
"Or perhaps it's just some expression in your eyes or some other detail. Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, you're getting good news soon!"
This time, Young Master Yan smiled. "I hope you'll accept my kind words!"
