When Yan Shao came out of the shower, Zhu Qianying was biting her lip and staring intently at the screen, moving the mouse in her hand. Needless to say, she was drawing a design sketch.
Although it was the first time Yan Shao had seen her do this job, he was curious but didn't dare to bother her too much. He just stood behind her and glanced at her a few times, but he didn't understand anything.
Looking up at the wall clock, Yan Shao thought that Zizai would usually be asleep by this time. He decided to check if the little one was properly covered with a blanket, so he turned around and tiptoed out, leaving her a quiet space to create.
As soon as the door opened, Yan Shao saw Zizai lying sprawled on the sofa with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
And surprisingly, he was holding an ice cream cup in his hand, which was placed in front of his chest.
Yan Shao smiled and shook his head. This little glutton, he fell asleep while eating?
He really is just like his mother!
Yan Shao walked over and found that the cup was extremely clean. It seemed that after the little guy finished eating, he licked the cup clean with his tongue like a puppy.
Because there wasn't a trace of ice cream left in the cup.
"Tsk, quite honest!"
It seems that this little guy has a strong sense of self-discipline. Even though he felt it wasn't enough after eating a small cup, he didn't steal any more.
The image of the little guy sticking out his little tongue and licking the ice cream cup with a satisfied look vividly appeared before my eyes, making Yan Shao smile from the bottom of his heart.
Yan Shao took the empty cup from the little guy's hand and placed it on the coffee table. He bent down, picked him up, and carried him back to the room with long strides.
When he put him on the bed, he saw that he was sleeping like a pig. Yan Shao couldn't bear to wake him up. He wrung out a towel and wiped his face and hands. As for his teeth, it's not a big deal if he doesn't brush them once or twice!
If this had happened in the past, or if it had happened to someone else, the fastidious young master would absolutely not have tolerated it.
However, his standards of tolerance, especially for Zai Zai and Zhu Qianying, are clearly different from those for others.
After serving the young master, she walked out of the living room and ran into Chen Jing returning from outside.
"Mom! Are you closed? How was business tonight?"
Now, Yan Shao is no longer the aloof young master, but a caring and considerate son-in-law.
"It's pretty good, more than a thousand yuan more than yesterday. It's probably because the guests ordered more expensive dishes tonight."
This sum of over a thousand yuan was nothing to Yan Shao, but for a small private restaurant, it represented a significant increase in sales.
"That's great, Mom. You should think about opening a branch. Our company has quite a few shops in other districts. If you're interested, Ying'er and I can keep an eye out for them."
Chen Jing's initial intention in opening this restaurant was not to make a lot of money.
She was just trying her best to help support the family and lighten the burden on her eldest daughter's shoulders.
Now that the restaurant has a promising future, she suddenly felt somewhat lost and confused, but she also understood that everyone's suggestions were actually correct in terms of the direction of development.
"Hmm, I'll think about it carefully. Is Zizai asleep?"
Standing at the door of Zizai's room, Yan Shao nodded. "Yes, he just fell asleep! He fell asleep while hugging his ice cream cup after finishing his ice cream!"
Chen Jing's gaze then drifted to the coffee table in the living room, where she saw the empty cup and couldn't help but smile.
"That little glutton, he's been wanting to eat ice cream ever since Ying'er bought it yesterday. Now, he can finally have some!"
Yan Shao's gaze softened. "Yes, I guess he'd been thinking about it. He came to ask us right after he took a shower. I told him he could only have a small cup, and he really did only have a small cup, then licked the cup clean."
Young Master Yan never knew that these seemingly mundane family matters could bring genuine joy and happiness.
This kind of joy and happiness is naturally different from the conquering joy he feels when he signs a big project.
These feelings welled up slowly from my heart; they seemed ordinary, yet they were very reassuring and comforting.
"Although he's a bit mischievous and can be quite sharp-tongued at times, he's still very sensible in his actions!"
Chen Jing also dotes on this grandson from the bottom of her heart. After all, she raised Zizai from scratch, and her affection and love for him are greater than that of the Zhu Qianying sisters combined.
Or perhaps it is precisely because she feels indebted to the two sisters that she loves Vic Chou even more.
"His mouth was indeed wicked!" Yan Shao recalled when the little guy was first brought back, he always opened his quills like a hedgehog towards her. Back then, the little guy's mouth was truly wicked.
"Hehe, he's only a little mean to you. He never says a harsh word to Ying'er." Chen Jing was very perceptive about the affairs of the younger generation.
Yan Shao completely agreed with this point.
"Where's Ying'er? Is she asleep so early?"
Chen Jing then realized something was amiss; she had been inside for so long and hadn't seen her daughter's face yet.
"She's drawing!" Young Master Yan pointed to the room and answered honestly.
Chen Jing nodded to indicate that she understood, and then gave instructions.
“She loses track of time when she’s working, so tell her to go to bed early! She’s still young and doesn’t realize the harm of staying up late, but in a few years, she’ll regret it!”
Yan Shao felt slightly embarrassed. He thought Chen Jing had probably noticed something, so she was subtly reminding him to be more restrained.
But in fact, Chen Jing didn't think that way at all. She was simply addressing the issue of Zhu Qianying's frequent dedication to her work.
Therefore, if someone has a guilty conscience, they can easily identify with what others say, even if it's completely unrelated.
"Mom, I know, I will keep a close eye on her."
Of course, it also serves as a reminder to himself not to indulge his desires recklessly anymore!
He doesn't know if he'll be hurt, but the key thing is, he'll hurt her!
Yan Shao poured two glasses of water into the room. He silently placed one glass next to Zhu Qianying and the other on the table near the bed.
He, on the other hand, took his laptop and sat cross-legged on the bed, busy with his own things.
Zhu Qianying was very focused on drawing the design. She didn't know when Yan Shao finished showering and came out, nor did she know when he left the room. Even when Yan Shao brought back a glass of water and placed it next to her, she didn't pay much attention.
She didn't take a sip of water until the initial sketch was completed.
Only then did she realize that this cup was not the one she usually used. Looking down at the bed, she saw Young Master Yan, whom she had long forgotten existed.
It wasn't that she was deliberately ignoring Young Master Yan; rather, when she was seriously engaged in her work, she was often in this state of complete absorption. This was why Chen Jing specifically instructed Young Master Yan to remind her to go to sleep.
