Zizai still looked worried. "Is everything really alright? Daddy and Mommy, please don't go to that gym anymore, it's too scary!"
After finishing his conversation with Yan Shao, Zizai turned to Zhu Qianying and asked, "Mommy, are you alright?"
Zhu Qianying still couldn't understand the father and son's riddle-like conversation. She looked at Yan Shao with wide eyes, her eyes filled with question marks.
Yan Shao didn't respond to Zhu Qianying, but smiled and patted the boy on the back of the head again.
"You~ Mommy's okay! Have you and Bai Xiaolu finished your homework? Tomorrow is Friday, and you still need to pack your bags for the beach trip when you get back!"
The young master had obviously forgotten about it. After being reminded by Yan Shao, he hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag and pulled Bai Xiaolu to sit down at the coffee table to do his homework.
The elders, unaware of what was going on, also became concerned about Young Master Yan's injury when they saw how nervous the little guy was.
"What exactly happened? Where did these poisonous insects come from? Is it serious?"
Despite her sharp tongue towards her son, Madam Yan actually cares deeply for him; after all, he is a piece of her own flesh and blood.
"Yes, is it serious? Should we ask Du Ting to come and take a look?" Yan Bo looked at Yan Shao with concern.
Yan Shao glanced at Zhu Qianying with a half-smile, "Mom, it's nothing, it's just that Zizai is making a fuss."
Zhu Qianying met Yan Shao's eyes and vaguely understood something from his slightly ambiguous smile.
The things I did last night to vent my anger came flooding back vividly.
Her face flushed again, and when she met Yan Shao's eyes, it wasn't hard to see that the smile in his eyes had grown even stronger.
Zhu Qianying, who immediately connected the cause and effect of the matter, felt slightly embarrassed and annoyed. Looking at Yan Shao's irritating expression, she secretly gritted her teeth.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Zhu Qianying kicked her foot under the table, and it landed squarely on Yan Shao's shin.
Yan Shao's smile deepened. He didn't flinch from under the table, but his hand on the table reached out in full view of everyone and touched Zhu Qianying's face, gently pinching it.
As if coaxing a child, she said indulgently, "Be good, don't make a fuss!"
The elders, along with Bai Shao, all turned their gazes toward the two of them. Zhu Qianying wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground!
Her face flushed, she glared at Yan Shao and snorted, "What are you going to do about it?"
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Yan Shao's face with a strong sense of provocation.
The way these two flirted and teased each other wasn't much better than the way Zizai and Bai Xiaolu played around. Everyone's faces were full of smiles, but they all knew what was going on and just looked at them with knowing eyes, without saying anything.
"Alright, we're tired too. Let's all go home, wash up, and go to sleep."
Finally, it was Old Madam Yan who couldn't stand it anymore and suggested that everyone go their separate ways so that the young couple, who had just reconciled, could go home and enjoy their time together, instead of dazzling everyone with their love here.
"Zizai, do you want to go home with your grandparents?"
Fearing that young Yan Xu might be rude and interfere with her son and daughter-in-law's plans, Old Madam Yan wanted to trick her grandson into returning to the Yan family.
The little guy shook his head vigorously, "No, no, I want to go back and pack my bags!"
The little guy's mind is now filled with images of surfing and playing at the beach. Compared to that, the scenery at the Yan family's place seems a bit dull and lacks a certain allure.
Of course, except for the stars.
"Daddy, can I bring Xingxing along to play?"
The young master rushed over and hugged Young Master Yan's big legs, acting all cute.
Yan Shao was completely powerless against his son's coquettishness and readily agreed.
"Sure, I'll have the driver pick it up this afternoon, okay?"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Zizai immediately turned around and excitedly showed off his silly dog to Bai Xiaolu.
"Bai Xiaolu, what kind of dog do you like? My Xingxing is a purebred Eskimo Dog. It's very friendly to people; you'll see when you meet it this afternoon. It's quite wary of strangers, but if you get to know it, it'll lick you... My Xingxing is the smartest dog; it even brings me my slippers and plays soccer with me..."
Zhu Qianying watched the little guy tugging at Bai Xiaolu and talking nonstop, and teased Bai Shao with a smile.
"Xiao Shao, why don't you just take Zizai home? Seeing how inseparable he and Xiao Lu are, I feel bad about breaking them up."
Bai Shao smiled, glanced at her friend, then at Young Master Yan, and said, "I have no problem taking him back. The key question is, will Young Master Yan agree?"
Young Master Yan smiled without saying a word!
The answer, of course, is no!
The family of three returned to their apartment. As the person in front bent down to change their shoes, she suddenly remembered something. "Daddy, did I lock the door last night?"
Yan Shao didn't react for a moment, and then he heard the little guy mutter to himself, "Hmm... that must be it, that's why Daddy sleeps in Mommy's room!"
When Yan Shao heard his son mention this, he felt it was necessary to clarify certain issues with the little guy.
Having already changed his shoes, he swept his son up in his arms.
The little guy was already used to his dad's surprise attacks. He just stood there with his head down, shaking his little hands and feet, laughing and begging for help from Zhu Qianying.
"Mommy, help me!"
Zhu Qianying was already used to the playful antics of the father and son, and smiled as she slipped past them.
After a long day, she was exhausted and all she wanted to do was take a quick shower and then collapse into bed for a good night's sleep.
Thinking this, she secretly complained to herself, "This young master Yan is just as brave and energetic as he was five years ago, yet he still says he needs to take medicine to replenish his energy. Is he trying to wear me out?"
Seeing his mother abandon him, the young master began to pat the eldest young master's belly with his little hands, though the pressure was very light.
"Old man, put me down..."
Young Master Yan remained unmoved by the little guy's clamor and simply "lifted" him into the room with one hand.
As soon as he entered, Yan Shao put the little guy down, squatted down, and looked at him at eye level.
"Son, do you want to be the older brother?"
The little guy tilted his head back and exclaimed, "Of course I want to!"
Yan Shao nodded in satisfaction, "Then you go to sleep by yourself. Starting today, Daddy won't sleep with you anymore, okay?"
The little guy seemed to think about it seriously for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"Oh... I understand... Okay, starting tonight, Daddy will sleep with Mommy, and I'll sleep by myself!"
As for how much his son understood, and to what extent, Yan Shao felt that there was no need to delve into it for the time being. He just needed his son to behave and not ruin his plans.
Meanwhile, in the next room, Zhu Qianying pushed open the door and turned on the light. She immediately saw several large suitcases leaning against the wall. Needless to say, they were Young Master Yan's clothes and valuables.
