"Of course not! Mommy, you're too easy to bully! No way, I have to talk to that old bastard, Mom!"
Well, the "old bastard" who hasn't been around for a while has also appeared.
I've brought this upon myself; what's the point of explaining?
This is clearly stirring up a hornet's nest!
"Zizai, those things aren't important!" Zhu Qianying tried to soothe her beloved son's emotions.
"Who says it doesn't matter? He's trying to take advantage of you!"
Zhu Qianying sighed, if this were called taking advantage, he would have taken it all long ago, otherwise, there wouldn't be this little guy, Zizai.
"Zizai, listen to me! Mommy just wants to tell you that you are just like any other child, with a complete family, a daddy and a mommy. You have what other children have. Do you understand?"
Zizai's thoughts were finally brought back to normal by Zhu Qianying.
"Yes, I know! Anyway, our family will always be together, and Zizai will have a younger brother and sister, right?"
Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, that's right!"
"Anyway, it's like Brother Beibei and the others, right?"
"That's right, just like them!"
Now, Zizai finally stopped pursuing the wedding dress or ring issue. He leaned against Zhu Qianying to process it for a while, and then happily picked up the phone to call Bai Xiaolu.
Zhu Qianying let out a long sigh, got up, and went to the dining room for breakfast.
While they were eating, they heard Zizai raising his voice and saying something. Clearly, he and Bai Xiaolu had started arguing again for some reason.
Zhu Qianying was too lazy to ask anymore. Anyway, this was how the two kids had always interacted from the beginning. She thought that after spending more time together, they would develop feelings for each other and stop arguing.
In fact, their relationship did improve, but they still argued, and sometimes they even fought.
However, the two kids are about the same skill level, and although they say they're fighting, they're actually very careful. Anyway, I've never seen either of them get injured because of the fight.
There wasn't even the slightest scratch.
While eating breakfast, Zhu Qianying remembered her mother's "commercial shoot" with Luo Yifan, so she picked up the phone and told her mother about it.
Even just from the receiver, Zhu Qianying could still hear her mother responding awkwardly on the other end of the phone, scolding her for talking nonsense.
However, he promised to cover up the lie properly.
After all, if Zizai keeps bothering her with this matter, it will be her who feels embarrassed and awkward.
Over there, Chen Jing put down the phone. Luo Yifan, who was waiting for her to explain why the dishes were paired this way, looked at her troubled expression and couldn't help but tease her.
"What's wrong? Did Ying'er scold you again?"
Although Chen Jing is the mother, basically everyone in the Jingjing Restaurant knows that Zhu Qianying, the daughter, is the backbone.
As for the proprietress Chen Jing, she is actually a very kind-hearted person with a good temper.
Chen Jing ignored him and continued, instructing her apprentice to help her prepare side dishes and condiments.
However, despite saying she wouldn't listen, after a while, taking advantage of her two apprentices leaving, Chen Jing finally spoke to Luo Yifan.
"Somehow, Zizai found out about yesterday's incident, and then he really misunderstood that you were my boyfriend. So, Ying'er told him that it was just a commercial shoot. Mr. Luo, if Zizai really asks about it, just tell him it was a commercial shoot!"
Luo Yifan stared at her for several seconds before nodding and saying, "Okay!"
Chen Jing breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Thank you!"
This time, Luo Yifan didn't say anything more, not even a few extra questions.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Chen Jing felt a mix of emotions.
Only Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying knew the true identities of the two handsome men in the restaurant.
However, both handsome men were quick-witted, and the work in the shop wasn't particularly difficult. In just one day, they were both quite relaxed and busy in the shop.
When Chen Jing called Zhu Qianying in the afternoon, she praised the two handsome men a few times. Zhu Qianying laughed and said, "Then you should talk to Young Master Yan and ask him to stay at the restaurant. Anyway, they're good-looking, and they might attract some customers!"
"You said no?" Chen Jing seemed a little surprised.
Zhu Qianying touched her still aching lower back and said, "Never mind, Mom, you think it's better."
Chen Jing wasn't that clever to come up with such a roundabout way of thinking. When she returned to the Yan family home that evening and saw her son-in-law, she brought it up.
"Sure, they're still on probation anyway. If they stay for three months, Kai will officially hire them. They'll definitely be very grateful to you for keeping them."
Chen Jing didn't think much of it and simply repeated her daughter's words.
“If they are willing, I will definitely keep them. They are quite handsome and pleasing to the eye, which may attract more diners.”
Yan Shao looked at her strangely, "Mom, you also know what handsome and pleasing to the eye are?"
In his opinion, although Chen Jing was only in her forties, her vision and knowledge were as traditional and proper as those of the older generation. Generally speaking, he rarely heard her praise a young man for being handsome and pleasing to the eye.
At the very least, neither he, the son-in-law, nor Ji Huan had ever received such treatment.
Chen Jing spoke her mind, "Ying'er said it!"
Zhu Qianying, who was sitting not far away reading a fairy tale book with Zizai, suddenly felt an unfriendly gaze. She looked up and met the familiar gaze of Young Master Yan, which made her hair stand on end.
Zhu Qianying shuddered, hugged her son tighter, and whispered in his ear, "Zizai, how about Mommy sleeps with you tonight?"
Without a second thought, Zizai happily replied, "Okay, okay!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, the little guy seemed to remember something, crawled out of her arms, turned his head and searched the room. When his eyes met his father's, he curiously stretched out his chubby finger and poked Zhu Qianying's face.
"But what about Daddy?"
Zhu Qianying didn't even look up. "He's not a child. He can sleep by himself."
"But I'm not a child anymore, I can sleep by myself..."
Most of the time, Vic Zhou is quite quirky and clever, but sometimes, he is also adorably straightforward.
After all, he was just a five-year-old child.
"But Mommy wants Zizai to sleep with Mommy..."
Zizai glanced at his father again, and finally made his choice, "Okay... then we'll sleep together tonight."
Zhu Qianying's plan was indeed quite clever, and when Young Master Yan heard her say that she would be sleeping with Zizai tonight, he acted as if nothing had happened, simply nodding lightly, "Sure, go ahead!"
Zhu Qianying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had really escaped the clutches of evil.
Relieved, she put Zizai to sleep and then felt drowsy herself. Before long, she actually fell asleep.
