Zhu Qianying turned her head and saw the silly dog, and immediately burst into laughter, "Young Master Yan, we forgot about Little Master Xingxing!"
Young Master Zizai always says that Xingxing is his son, so Xingxing becomes the little young master in the Yan family mansion!
Zizai ran over carrying a ball, "It's okay, my son is very generous!"
Zhu Qianying waved to Xiao Luzi, who was sweating profusely from playing, "Xiao Luzi, come over and see if you like it."
"Thank you, Aunt Shadow!" Xiao Lu said sweetly, running over to give Zhu Qianying a kiss.
Zhu Qianying bought two sets of stationery, extracurricular books, and art supplies for the two little ones, with only slight differences in color.
As for clothes, since they are different genders, Zhu Qianying would definitely buy different clothes for the little one. However, since some clothes are available in both male and female styles, Zhu Qianying simply bought two sets of clothes for different genders.
The two little rascals, Zizai and Xiaoluzi, sat on the ground excitedly looking at their gifts. They saw that their stationery and extracurricular reading materials were almost identical. The two little rascals just looked at each other and agreed, but neither of them said anything. It was clear that they were very happy.
After looking at the stationery and toys, the two of them happily ran over and gave Zhu Qianying a kiss each. Yan Shao, on the other side, felt a little jealous.
"Tsk, even those who pay don't get such good treatment!"
As soon as he uttered those sarcastic words, Zizai and Xiaoluzi, the two sycophants, immediately ran to the living room, climbed onto the sofa, and wrapped their arms around Young Master Yan's neck on either side, giving him two loud kisses.
"Thank you, Daddy/Uncle Yan!" the two little brats said in unison.
Yan Shao was finally satisfied, a smile on his face. He patted the two little ones' bottoms and said, "Alright, go check if you like the clothes."
The two little ones then ran back to their huge pile of food, clothes, and other items. First, Xiao Luzi happily picked up a skirt to try it on. Then, when she picked up a rather stylish T-shirt and denim overalls, Zizai also took out a similar outfit from the bag, except that the skirt was replaced with pants.
"Wow, this is a best friend outfit!" exclaimed little Zizai.
"Who said that? This is a sibling outfit!" This was Xiao Luzi's disdainful statement.
While the two little kids were arguing about whether to wear matching outfits or sibling outfits, Zhu Qianying glanced at the two handsome young couple, who were about the same height, and the first thing that flashed through her mind was "matching outfits!"
Of course, she swears that she had no ulterior motives when she bought it; she simply felt that she really liked the clothes. She bought the men's version and then felt that she also liked the girls' version, so she bought both.
Unexpectedly, this sparked a battle of wits between the two.
Then, these two little brats continued to campaign for their votes among the elders until dinner time, trying to figure out what kind of costume it was.
As for the adult world, there's no need to doubt it; one glance is enough to tell that it's blatantly matching couple outfits, but everyone just smiles and says nothing.
Bai Shao worked overtime until very late that night before returning home. After returning, she went to the study to thank Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao.
Yan Shao had skipped work all day and now he could only painfully finish dealing with the day's tasks in his study.
Zhu Qianying was also very loyal, so she brought her own computer over and sat down to do her own thing.
When Bai Shao returned from working overtime, she learned from Uncle Hai that the two of them were working overtime in the study, so she knocked on the study door.
Zhu Qianying opened the door and welcomed her friend inside.
"I'm sorry, will I be in your way?" Bai Shao knew that the two of them were working, but as a matter of politeness, it seemed inappropriate not to say hello.
In addition, she had some things she wanted to talk to her friends about.
"No, I'm doing my own thing. Come in, let's chat for a bit."
Zhu Qianying knew that her friend had come all this way so late, mainly not to express her gratitude.
Bai Shao entered the room, but Yan Shao also stood up.
"Bai Shao, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Bai Shao glanced at the documents piled on Yan Shao's desk and hesitated for a moment.
"It's alright, I can handle these things tomorrow, there's no rush." With that, Young Master Yan closed the documents and walked out from behind his desk.
Bai Shao didn't refuse again, clearly indicating that there was something really important to discuss, and that matter was none other than Bai Xiangdong's illness.
"Young Master Yan, about that Dr. Zhao I told you about before..."
Sure enough, Bai Shao started by mentioning the famous doctor in the capital, but after she began, she seemed unsure how to continue.
"Hmm, what's wrong? You have news about him?" Young Master Yan was quite calm, raising his eyelids to look at her with a very composed expression.
Zhu Qianying had of course heard Yan Shao mention this matter, but what she heard from Yan Shao was the same story that Bai Shao had heard.
So, they immediately sat up and held their breath, waiting for Bai Shao to continue.
Bai Shao remained silent for a moment before saying, "It's not that I have news about him, it's that Zong Zhe's people have news about him."
Zhu Qianying's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "The people on Zong Zhe's side?"
"Yes, that's his former assistant. Young Master Yan should know him!"
Yan Shao nodded. "Yes, his name is Jiang Qi."
"Yes, it was him. He contacted me first and said he had information about that Dr. Zhao."
Now, both Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying fell silent.
Regardless of whether Bai Shao knew about Zong Zhe's death, the fact that she and Zong Zhe had already broken up means that Jiang Qi's visit is definitely not a favor she's giving away for nothing.
Moreover, given Jiang Qi's connections, it would be impossible for him to obtain information about Dr. Zhao. After all, even someone like Yan Yuan couldn't find him.
Since it wasn't something Jiang Qi could know, then the Zong family's influence must be behind it all, which is why Jiang Qi was able to obtain information about Doctor Zhao.
Moreover, Bai Shao's words revealed a crucial piece of information: the Zong family already knew that Bai Shao had returned, and they also knew that Bai Xiangdong was ill.
Whether or not they knew of Bai Xiaolu's existence is unknown.
"Did my contacting the experts alert the Zong family?"
Young Master Yan is only thinking about this aspect right now.
Bai Shao shook her head, "Not necessarily. It could be that a help-seeking post I made on a social media platform abroad caught their attention. Jiang Qi and I are colleagues after all, and he already has my social media account..."
Zhu Qianying breathed a sigh of relief. "I'd rather he had found out about this from that help post. And then, what are you planning to do?"
[Just to clarify, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bai Shao and Zong Zhe will be the male and female protagonists in Zhu Zi's next novel. Bai Shao is just a supporting character here and will not be described in detail.]
