Zhu Qianying never expected that the young master Yan, who used to only care about his own pleasure, could be so thoughtful and considerate. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved.
"Okay, then I won't make it for you. Are you hungry? There are some snacks Mom made in the fridge. You can just heat them up in the microwave and eat them."
Upon hearing Zhu Qianying's mention, Yan Shao realized he was indeed a little hungry.
"You know what, I'm actually a little hungry!"
About ten minutes later, the two were sitting in the living room drinking hot tea and eating hot snacks, and then they chatted casually about Zhu Qianying's designs.
"Didn't you say last time that Cheng Ye wanted to submit the pair of rings you designed for your parents' wedding anniversary to a competition?"
"Yes, I took them back later."
In Zhu Qianying's view, the happiness between husband and wife is never something to be flaunted, but rather something to be savored by the two of them.
Those rings are a microcosm of Yanbo and his wife's emotional experiences and journey. Although they were her designs, she did not want to judge their quality by worldly standards.
For Yanbo and his wife, the ring represents the steadfastness and purity of their relationship. It doesn't need much additional applause to crown it; it is already dazzling enough.
"Why? This is such a waste."
As far as he knew, the pair of rings easily passed the preliminary round and advanced to the semi-finals.
In his unprofessional opinion, those rings were sure to go all the way to the end, but when the semi-finals came, Yan Shao, who was paying special attention to the competition for Zhu Qianying, didn't see any sign of those rings.
“I think that would be a desecration of my parents’ love.”
Upon hearing Zhu Qianying's explanation, Yan Shao understood.
For Zhu Qianying, those were not just two rings; they were a microcosm of her parents' decades-long relationship.
Indeed, no award can truly honor such a poignant and dramatic relationship.
For every loving couple, the love they share and cherish is the greatest reward in their lives.
The prize is each other's companionship, for a lifetime!
Even though he understood, Yan Shao still felt it was a pity.
"Actually, there's nothing to regret. I'm still so young, and I'll have many more designs to submit for competitions in the future, so there's no rush."
Indeed, in the jewelry industry, there are many young designers who have shown their talent and brilliance due to their unique and sharp vision, as well as middle-aged designers who have made a name for themselves by accumulating rich experience and knowledge.
Therefore, in Zhu Qianying's view, she has plenty of opportunities!
"What were you drawing just now? A ring? Or something else?"
Young Master Yan knew nothing about jewelry, and besides, she had been drawing small details like totems, so he hadn't seen the overall design.
"secret!"
At first, when Zhu Qianying saw his hands, which were full of masculine strength yet elegant, the idea of having him as a hand model did flash through her mind.
But after she drew out the inspiration in her mind, she realized that this accessory was only suitable for Yan Shao.
Therefore, she secretly began to have other plans.
"Baby, are you hiding this from me? I'm your husband, you know!" Young Master Yan picked up a pastry and held it to Zhu Qianying's lips.
Zhu Qianying didn't stand on ceremony. She opened her mouth, put the pastry in her mouth, and then mumbled something.
"I'm your wife too, but you didn't tell me your bank card PIN, nor did you tell me how many businesses you own or how much wealth you have!"
Zhu Qianying never expected that Yan Shao would take her casual remark to heart. Of course, if she had known that her words would lead to such a development, she would never have said such a thing.
At that moment, after she said those words, she treated them as a joke and let it go.
After finishing their snacks and tidying up, the two went back to their room and continued working for a while. As it was almost midnight, Young Master Yan closed his computer first, then urged Zhu Qianying to turn it off. After washing up, they climbed into bed and went to sleep.
"Ying'er, come here!"
Looking at Zhu Qianying, who had rolled herself up in the blanket like a silkworm cocoon, Yan Shao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhu Qianying made a vague "uh..." sound, and then said nothing more.
Yan Shao stared at the back of her head and shook his head helplessly. He reached out, grabbed her blanket and pulled hard, and Zhu Qianying, curled up like a silkworm cocoon, rolled into his arms.
"Ying'er, what are you afraid of?" He lowered his head, nibbled on her earlobe, and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Zhu Qianying was still pretending to be asleep!
Yan Shao pulled her close, then moved his lips to hers and gave her a light peck.
"Silly girl, I know you're not feeling well right now. Tonight I'll just hold you and won't do anything else!"
Upon hearing his words, Zhu Qianying suddenly opened her eyes, which had been closed, and looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and doubt. "Really, you won't do anything?"
It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but rather, he was a wolf that hadn't eaten for five years. Once he tasted blood, the meat would be right in front of his mouth. Could he resist eating it?
"Of course! I swear!"
As he spoke, he tightened his grip on her arm and kissed her forehead.
"Silly Ying'er, doing that kind of thing requires mutual consent, and it shouldn't be just my enjoyment. If you feel pain or don't want to anymore, you can tell me clearly, understand?"
After hearing Yan Shao's words, Zhu Qianying raised her eyelids and stared at him for several seconds. After confirming that he was indeed very serious, she breathed a long sigh of relief, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him twice on the chin and lips.
Goodnight, Xiaohanhan!
Yan Shao stiffened, grabbed her hand that was groping his neck, held it, and placed it on her waist.
"Girl, if you want to sleep well, just sleep quietly and don't start any trouble!"
His restraint is limited to situations where there is no external provocation.
If this enormous temptation actively sends him any seductive signals, his rationality will definitely collapse, and he will recklessly repeat last night's madness.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianying immediately became obedient, carefully shifting in his arms to find a comfortable position, and then reaching out to touch his face.
"Goodnight, my darling!" When she said this, her consciousness was already a little hazy.
Upon hearing her sweet nickname, Yan Shao stiffened again. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried his best to cool down the boiling blood in his body.
After finally overcoming his inner demons and returning to normal, he looked down and saw Zhu Qianying in his arms, one hand clinging to his waist and the other hand gripping his clothes, her breathing even and shallow. It seemed she was truly asleep.
"Goodnight, baby!" Yan Shao lowered his head and kissed her slightly parted lips, then slowly closed his eyes.
