The coach quickly followed, and the three mothers smiled and went back to lie down under the parasol.
"Xiao Shao, Xiao Lu's first kiss was almost stolen by that brat Zizai!" Zhu Qianying joked with her friend.
Bai Shao chuckled and said, "Yes! But it's a pity we didn't manage to take it. If we had, your Zizai would have been responsible for my Xiaolu!"
Zhu Qianying burst into laughter, "Hahaha, that's a good idea. Xiao Shao, how about we become in-laws?"
Shao Shan feigned a melancholy expression, "Sigh, I thought I could pair Nannan and Zizai up, but it seems those two little brats aren't attracted to each other at all!"
They say three women make a drama, and that's certainly true. Here, three women gathered together, drinking juice and chatting about their children's "life-long affairs."
Zizai and Xiaoluzi, who had been arguing so fiercely just now, were now floating on the water with Zizai supporting her lower abdomen, teaching her to swim.
"They're like a pair of sworn enemies!"
As a spectator, Shao Shan couldn't help but tease the two little ones.
However, no matter how the mothers joked about it in private, none of them mentioned such topics in front of the two little kids. After all, everyone knew that these were just things adults would say to pass the time when they were bored, and they shouldn't be taken seriously.
The three families played on the beach until noon, then went home to take a shower, and together went to a nearby seafood restaurant for lunch. Afterward, they each went home for a nap.
After two or three days of adjustment, Zizai no longer clings to his dad and mom to sleep together.
Yan Shao had spent the entire morning worrying about Zhu Qianying's discomfort. Now that the two were lying on the bed, Yan Shao very considerately massaged Zhu Qianying's hands and feet. In short, he massaged almost every bone in Zhu Qianying's body.
"Hey, I'm not that weak, okay?"
Zhu Qianying felt that her former healthy and sunny image had probably been almost completely ruined by Yan Shao.
In other people's eyes, she is now about the same level as the frail and delicate Lin Daiyu.
"It's not that you're weak, it's that I'm too strong!"
Whether Yan Shao's words were arrogant or a joke, Zhu Qianying couldn't find any substantial evidence to refute them, because it was indeed the truth.
"Looks like I'll have to do it every other day from now on!"
Young Master Yan seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps making a promise to Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying secretly rolled her eyes. Once? If Young Master Yan could let her off the hook in one go, then he must be sick. There was no other possibility!
Seeing that Zhu Qianying remained silent, Young Master Yan knew that he had little credibility in this matter, so he said no more, but softened the pressure on his hands.
“Ying’er…”
"Um……"
Zhu Qianying closed her eyes comfortably, looking drowsy.
"Qin Xiu noticed it too!"
Zhu Qianying suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at him. "You pointed to the shortcut?"
Young Master Yan nodded!
Zhu Qianying rested her head on her arm and said with some concern, "Does it really look that similar?"
Yan Shao couldn't give her a definitive answer. "I know Zong Zhe very well, so it's not surprising that I can tell. Qin Xiu and Zong Zhe have probably only met a few times, but you can tell from Xiao Lu's appearance and temperament that Zong Zhe is the kind of person you can spot at a glance in a crowd."
"Is it eye-catching?" Zhu Qianying asked.
"Yes, it's very eye-catching!"
Yan Shao has always been arrogant and narcissistic. If someone like him can acknowledge an eye-catching man, there is no doubt that he is an outstanding man inside and out.
But that makes sense. With a friend's discerning eye, how bad could the men she'd be?
"Bai Shao will be starting work soon. She holds a high position at that company, so she'll likely run into many of the friends she knew from when she was with Zong Zhe, as well as people from Zong Zhe's circle. You should remind her about that!"
In Yan Shao's opinion, Zhu Qianying is similar to Bai Shao. Having been abroad for several years, she probably doesn't know much about many things and circles in China. So, he kindly reminded Zhu Qianying.
After all, that was Zhu Qianying's best friend. If he knew the truth but didn't tell her, Zhu Qianying would be heartbroken, and he himself would also feel bad.
"Yes, I'll talk to her. From what you're saying, Xiao Shao used to be considered Zong Zhe's girlfriend in B City's high society circles?"
Regarding Bai Shao and Zong Zhe, Zhu Qianying only knew that the two had a very good relationship, but in the end, Zong Zhe broke Bai Shao's heart. According to Bai Shao, Zong Zhe had changed his mind.
However, Zhu Qianying couldn't bring up this matter to Yan Shao. Besides, Zong Zhe had already passed away, so there was no point in bringing up the old stories again.
"Not only that, everyone calls her sister-in-law now, and she's even met my parents."
Yan Shao and Zong Zhe are about the same age and have similar experiences. They also have business dealings and were once very close for a period of time.
Therefore, Yan Shao actually knows quite a bit about Zong Zhe's private affairs.
Bai Shao hadn't mentioned any of what Yan Shao had said to Zhu Qianying.
Perhaps she felt that Zhu Qianying was still a young girl and wouldn't understand these things. Or perhaps, in Bai Shao's heart, she never dared to have too high expectations for that relationship, and therefore, she tried to keep a low profile with her friends.
Previously, Zhu Qianying was unaware of these things, but now that she knows, she is even more worried about the situation of her friend and Bai Xiaolu.
So, after lunch break, while Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao were preparing desserts in the kitchen, she subtly inquired about Bai Shao's intentions.
"Xiao Shao, does the company you work for have a lot of contact with the circles in City B?"
Bai Shao was using tools to open a coconut when she heard her question, so she stopped.
"Yes, quite a lot. But don't worry, my resume says I'm unmarried, and I'll be careful not to let anyone find out about Xiaolu."
Clearly, Bai Shao understood immediately that her friend was worried that Xiao Luzi's identity would be exposed.
"Xiao Shao, if you need any help, just ask. We're good friends. If you hold a grudge against me, it will hurt my feelings."
Take Bai Shao's job search as an example. In fact, Yan Shao has clearly stated that Yanhuang needs talents like Bai Shao. However, Bai Shao did not want to cause controversy or make things difficult for Yan Shao, so she insisted on finding a job on her own. That's why she only recently found a job.
"Shadow, you've taken such good care of me and Xiao Luzi. Besides, the three of us have been eating and drinking on the side all day long, and you've never complained about us. I'm content to have a good friend like you!"
Zhu Qianying really wanted to kick her. "You and Uncle Dong have been helping out at the shop all this time, and we haven't given you a single penny. We only gave you a meal, and you're thanking me?"
