Having developed an increasingly discerning palate, Yan Shao is now shamelessly going to restaurants to freeload meals, using all sorts of tricks.
Anyway, his parents went to visit friends out of town these past few days, so he had a perfect excuse to freeload every day.
He even secretly prayed that his parents would be gone for a long time this time, long enough for him to bring Zhu Qianying home.
However, Yan Bo and his wife clearly couldn't understand his thoughts, and even if they could, they would never agree. From some point onward, their son, Yan Shao, had been relegated to a corner of their hearts by Zizai.
Because now that they have their precious grandson Zizai, they can only be away from home for three to five days at most, and never more than a week. Any longer and they can't stand it.
All those dreams of traveling the world are no match for the simple pleasures of staying home and enjoying the company of my grandchildren.
So, the world is so big and the scenery is so beautiful, but sometimes it may not be as attractive as the warm and cozy scene in a corner of your home.
The two elderly people, whose hearts were already filled with their little grandson Zizai, returned the day after Yan Shao finished his prayers. That evening, the two of them went to a restaurant for dinner together.
Bai Shao and her family of three were also there, so the two families gathered together for a lively and sumptuous dinner.
Yan Shao, a very busy man, unfortunately missed this dinner due to his busy work schedule.
This time, there was no need for Zizai to whine and beg. Zhu Qianying packed up Young Master Yan's food first and had the driver deliver it.
Therefore, although Yan Shao couldn't sit in the restaurant to eat with his mother-in-law, he could still enjoy the meals she cooked herself.
Qin Xiu, who was working overtime with Yan Shao, naturally ate with him.
"Sir, if we can have dinner like this every night from now on, I'll apply to work overtime every day!"
Yan Shao glanced at him and said, "Look at you, so pathetic!"
"That's all I'm good for. If Shan's cooking skills were even a tenth as good as Yingzi's, I wouldn't be so spineless!"
Mentioning this makes Yan Shao angry.
"How dare you bring this up with me? I haven't even settled the score with you over Aunt Lan's matter yet!"
Aunt Lan was originally hired by Uncle Hai specifically by Young Master Yan to be Zhu Qianying's nanny. However, after working for Zhu Qianying for only a few days, she was transferred to Qin Xiu's house by Zhu Qianying.
Yan Shao was very depressed. He had chosen one in a million to serve his wife, children and mother-in-law, but now she was serving someone else.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with me!" Qin Xiu raised his hand to show his innocence.
"None of your business? Then give Aunt Lan back!"
"That won't do!"
Of course, despite his protests, it's absolutely impossible for him to return Aunt Lan to her right now.
Since Aunt Lan came to work as his housekeeper, Shao Shan has almost never argued with him about household matters. And he no longer has to come home exhausted every day and still have to help Shao Shan with chores.
The two bickered half-jokingly while eating, and then went back to their work after finishing their meal.
"Sir, what have you been busy with these past few days?"
Qin Xiu has been busy with the case involving the Yang family in Beijing these past few days, while Yan Shao has been busy with other things. As for what he's been busy with, Qin Xiu has no idea.
The two have been working together for so many years, and Yan Shao rarely hides anything from Qin Xiu when it comes to business. The last time Yan Shao acted mysteriously was when he took down Zhu Junwei and Yi Wei in one fell swoop.
At that time, Yan Shao also had a hard time keeping it a secret from him and Ke Kai.
At the time, Qin Xiu even whispered to Ke Kai in private, wondering if his master had lost his mind and would collude with someone like Zhu Junwei.
As it turns out, their wise and mighty patriarch would not be so foolish as to befriend an enemy.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Xiu vaguely guessed something, but he wasn't quite sure.
No matter how he tried to probe, Young Master Yan still managed to deflect the attack with ease.
"What, are you afraid I'll slack off?" Clearly, Young Master Yan had no intention of telling him the truth.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Qin Xiu changed the subject.
"Sir, you really should take a break. Think about it, how many days have you been staying at the company? Aren't you afraid of being neglected?"
Recently, although my husband's work has been going poorly, his personal life has been extremely smooth, and he always looks very pleased with himself.
Considering the situation at the seaside villa last time and the fact that Zhu Qianying personally brought him food yesterday, Qin Xiu assumed that Master and Zhu Qianying had reconciled.
Yan Shao cursed Qin Xiu, "Meddlesome!"
Deep down, I was touched, and a few concerns began to creep in.
He and Qin Xiu were busy until after 10 p.m. He originally planned to stay overnight at the company, but changed his mind and left Yanhuang Group with Qin Xiu.
When Qin Xiu saw that his grandfather was finally willing to go home to sleep, he finally felt relieved, as if a huge weight had been pressing on his heart.
To be honest, even the best relationship can't withstand your coldness.
Not to mention that Zhu Qianying is still so young, at the age when she needs to be loved and coaxed.
Compared to the 33-year-old Yan Shao, the 25-year-old Zhu Qianying is still at an age where she is full of fun and can endure loneliness by staying at home alone every day, which is truly rare.
But the old man, after coaxing her back, worked overtime every day, and even slept at the company every day.
If it were Qin Xiu in this situation, his wife would have dragged him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce long ago. How could he still live such a comfortable life?
"Master, you should be glad that Shadow isn't a troublemaker."
The two stood in the elevator, and Qin Xiu said this.
Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh when he recalled Zhu Qianying's tantrum a few days ago.
"I actually enjoy her antics!"
Qin Xiu stared wide-eyed and shook his head in disbelief.
"Sir, your hobby is quite peculiar!"
Yan Shao smiled, shrugged, and indicated that he had no comment.
Zhu Qianying is different from Shao Shan. Shao Shan grew up in a normal family and had no shortage of parental love, sibling affection, or any other kind of love.
As for Zhu Qianying, apart from the dependent love that Zhu Qianyu had shown her since childhood, she probably rarely experienced any other kind of love.
In the past, he was arrogant and always thought that since she had taken his money, she should let him do whatever he wanted.
He only took from her, forgetting that she needed love a million times more than him.
By the time he realized what was happening and wanted to give it to her, she had already refused.
Now, finally, she's willing to act cute and throw a little tantrum with him, which is a good thing for him.
"However, someone like Shadow probably wouldn't act recklessly!" Qin Xiu gave an objective assessment.
"Hmm, very, very few..."
If Yan Shao remembers correctly, this has only happened once, that one night.
Actually, he really wanted to tell Zhu Qianying that he was willing to indulge her and tolerate her, so that she could make up for all the family affection and love she hadn't enjoyed before.
Of course, he cannot replace everyone.
But he hoped to do everything he could to pamper her to the fullest extent.
