"Xiaoya, get two sets of uniforms for these two new colleagues!"
Because she was worried about her mother, Zhu Qianying stayed at the restaurant all day and didn't even go back to the Yan family home for dinner. Young Master Yan had originally said he was going to come over for dinner, but said he was too busy to make it.
For safety reasons, Zhu Qianying had the driver take Zizai directly back to the Yan family home. Then she called Bai Xiangdong and asked him to take Xiaoluzi to another restaurant for dinner for the next few days.
"What happened?" Bai Xiangdong asked with concern on the other end of the phone.
Bai Shao had just started working and was under a lot of pressure, often working overtime. So, Bai Xiaolu, that little girl, was basically left to Bai Xiangdong's care.
But Bai Xiangdong, a grown man, had no idea how to take care of children. So, he basically ate dinner at the restaurant every day.
He didn't think much of the suggestion that he shouldn't come over for the time being. After all, his relationship with Chen Jing was so close that they were practically siblings.
But today's matter involves too many things, and Zhu Qianying couldn't explain it clearly to Bai Xiangdong over the phone, so she had to say...
"My mom is going to participate in the food fair with Fanxin Restaurant, right? The organizers need to confirm whether the participants can meet their requirements, so they will be making unannounced visits to check on us these days. Everyone in the restaurant is on high alert."
After hearing Zhu Qianying's words, Bai Xiangdong stopped asking questions. In any case, he was an honest man who rarely beat around the bush in his actions and words, so he believed what Zhu Qianying said.
"Okay, Xiao Lu and I will just find a place to eat."
"No need for that. I'll have them pack the food and send it up." Zhu Qianying couldn't bear to let them go hungry.
“That’s fine too. Xiao Lu Zi has become quite picky about food thanks to A Jing’s upbringing. She might not even be willing to eat at a random place outside.”
Zhu Qianying chatted with Bai Xiangdong for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
Luo Yifan, who usually only spends half a day in restaurants, seems to be quite free today. He said that since someone is paying for his meals, he might as well eat there, so he will stay for dinner.
Although he said that, Zhu Qianying knew that he was just worried that Zhu Zhizhou would come back again.
Zhu Qianying appreciated his kindness, but didn't say much in return. She knew that with some people, especially businessmen, it was better not to say anything polite, because what they wanted from their investment was not just the return from a few polite words.
Whether Luo Yifan's efforts will actually yield the expected returns is a gamble.
As a businessman, you also need to have a gambler's mentality: be willing to gamble and accept the consequences!
That evening, Yan Shao came to pick up Zhu Qianying and her daughter to go home. In the car, Zhu Qianying did not mention Luo Yifan at all.
Only after the two returned to the bedroom did she speak to Young Master Yan with great enthusiasm.
"Tsk, Young Master Yan, do you know how interesting Zhu Zhizhou's expression was when Luo Yifan said he was my mother's boyfriend? Oh dear, I almost called Luo Yifan 'Dad'!"
As Yan Shao unbuttoned his clothes, he tilted his head and smiled at her, then listened to her speak.
"Actually, I know that in terms of being a perfect match in every way, my mom and him aren't a good fit. I used to think that my mom's hesitation might have been the right thing to do. But after hearing what he said today, I thought, if I were my mom, I'd probably really be willing to take the gamble. That's fucking cool!"
Yan Shao had been listening to her with a smile, but towards the end, he frowned slightly, reached out and tapped her head, "Don't swear!"
Zhu Qianying stuck out her tongue. "Don't worry about it, really! You weren't there at the time. I was standing right behind him, so I couldn't see his expression, but when I heard what he said, I really thought this man was so handsome!"
Zhu Qianying kept saying "handsome" several times. The man, who had finally unbuttoned all his clothes, frowned again. He took off his clothes and threw them aside. He then reached out and pulled Zhu Qianying, who was still excitedly praising another man as handsome, over.
With a push, Zhu Qianying was caught off guard and fell face-up onto the bed.
"Hello……"
Just as Zhu Qianying was about to protest the man's rudeness, he had already pressed down on her, pinning her beneath him. He opened his mouth and bit her lip hard. Hearing her cry of pain, he released her, using his hands to prop himself up slightly, creating some distance between them, his eyes fixed on her sharply.
"Is he handsome? Or am I handsome?"
Zhu Qianying then realized that the man was jealous!
She reached out and touched his slightly stubbled chin, feeling its rough texture. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes and brows were full of allure.
"Of course my darling is handsome!"
As she spoke, she slightly raised her face and returned his bite with the same intensity. Her tongue playfully circled his lips, and clearly, flames of desire ignited in the man's eyes.
Zhu Qianying's coaxing clearly had an effect. The sharpness in the man's eyes subsided, and waves of warmth and tenderness surged up. He leaned in and pressed her down tightly beneath him once again, leaving no gaps.
He stared at her intently for several seconds before gritting his teeth and saying fiercely, "From now on, you're not allowed to say any other man is handsome in front of me!"
Zhu Qianying moved her hand to the back of his head, her fingertips gently tracing his hairline, and teased with a smile, "Even a son won't do?"
Yan Shao was stunned for a moment, then said decisively, "No, no one but me!"
Zhu Qianying's chest heaved as he pressed down on her, and bursts of laughter escaped from her throat.
Yan Shao was slightly annoyed. He leaned down and sealed her laughter with his lips, completely blocking her laughter from her mouth.
...
The next day, Saturday, Zhu Qianying was once again bedridden, and was woken up by her son running in.
"Mommy, Mommy, does Grandma have a boyfriend?"
The little guy was clearly overwhelmed by the news. He shouted as he flew in like an arrow, nimbly climbed onto the bed, and rolled over onto Zhu Qianying.
Just woken up and still half asleep, Zhu Qianying let out a muffled groan, "Hiss!"
Having not felt this soreness for many days, the sensation was almost unbearable when she tasted it again. Coupled with the little guy's relentless pressure, Zhu Qianying was in so much pain that she felt like she was dying.
"Mommy, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"
The little one was initially very excited, but upon hearing his mother's hiss, his expression immediately changed. He rolled off her, lifted the blanket, and nervously looked at her.
"Mommy's fine, you just sat down suddenly and it hurt!"
Zhu Qianying secretly rejoiced. That fussy young master, who seemed foolish in everything else, was never careless when it came to cleaning her up afterward. Basically, no matter how exhausted she was, she would wake up feeling refreshed and her clothes would be neat.
