Qin Xiu took Zhu Qianying directly to the president's office of Yanhuang Group. After knocking on the door and letting her in, Qin Xiu tactfully withdrew.
Zhu Qianying walked in, stopped in front of the desk, and called out to the man buried in the pile of documents, "Young Master Yan."
Yan Shao didn't look up, and waved his hand impatiently, "Stay over there."
Zhu Qianying didn't say or ask any questions. She turned around and walked to the living room, sat down as if they were old friends, took out her phone, and turned it back on.
The phone rang almost the instant the signal returned to normal.
It was none other than Xing Bailun.
"Aaron, I'm back!" Before the other person could speak, Zhu Qianying introduced herself.
Unexpectedly, the door to the reception room was pushed open right there. Yan Shao, who had been so busy that he hadn't even had time to lift his head, was now standing by the door, and Zhu Qianying's words clearly reached his ears.
Yan Shao squinted, staring at the dark back of the head. If Zhu Qianying had eyes in the back of her head, she would definitely be startled by his sinister gaze.
Unfortunately, she had no eyes in the back of her head, so she listened calmly to Xing Bailun's complaints on the other end of the phone.
"Shadow, you're not a good friend at all. You didn't even tell me you were going out beforehand, and I've been looking for you everywhere."
"Sorry, I left in a hurry and only had time to tell my mom. Didn't she tell you?"
Only then did the man's gaze behind her regain a little warmth.
Yan Shao couldn't hear what Xing Bailun was saying on the other end of the phone, but he heard Zhu Qianying say, "Alright, Aaron, I have something to do. Let's have dinner another day."
After saying that, Bianli landed and hung up the phone.
Yan Shao assumed she had noticed him behind her, which was why she hung up the phone so readily. Unexpectedly, after hanging up, she opened a webpage and started typing and scribbling, seemingly searching for something, or perhaps just browsing the web out of boredom.
"Ahem..." Young Master Yan coughed lightly before stepping into the reception room.
Zhu Qianying, who had been leaning casually on the sofa, immediately straightened up and turned to look at her.
"Young Master Yan, are you done with your work?"
It seems she had no idea that Young Master Yan was deliberately ignoring her.
"Um……"
Yan Shao responded indifferently and sat down on the single sofa opposite her.
Zhu Qianying remembered that he had sat on that single sofa last time, and the Yan family also had a single sofa of the same style but a different color.
This is probably his personal sofa.
Seeing her deep in thought, Yan Shao assumed she was figuring out how to deal with him and secretly felt smug.
Little did he know that Zhu Qianying was merely adding another charge to his already long list of fussy and nitpicky offenses.
Yan Shao was still waiting for her to take the initiative to admit her mistake and beg for forgiveness. Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, remained completely still, sitting upright without saying a word.
Finally, Yan Shao couldn't hold back any longer and asked coldly.
"Where have you been all this time?"
"I went to visit a few classmates." Zhu Qianying answered calmly, without the slightest sign of panic.
Yan Shao looked at her with a skeptical expression. "Classmate? From where?"
"W Province".
Zhu Qianying did indeed fly back to L City from W Province, which is consistent with the information Yan Shao had.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for my call?" Young Master Yan finally couldn't hold back and started bringing up old grudges.
Zhu Qianying met his eyes and asked calmly, "Why am I waiting for your call? The parents have met, the marriage arrangements have been discussed, and the wedding date has been set. Besides, it's not even November yet, there are still almost two months until the wedding. After that, I don't plan to go out of town."
She didn't think that she and he needed to call each other to maintain their relationship.
There was never any emotional bond between them, neither before nor in the future. She probably felt the same way.
Yan Shao was rendered speechless by her words.
Indeed, why did he call her?
Could it be that the snacks he wants can't be bought at those five-star hotels outside?
Or is it that he really needs to bring an outsider home for the Mid-Autumn Festival to annoy himself and his parents?
"You give gifts, but you don't take care of the person you're looking after?"
"Huh?" Even though Zhu Qianying wasn't stupid, her mind still couldn't switch to the same frequency as Yan Shao.
"Those two pots of wretched plants, who knows how to take care of them! Go and take them away right now, they look sickly and are annoying to look at." Young Master Yan snorted, got up, left Zhu Qianying behind, and walked towards his desk.
Zhu Qianying stared at his back for a while, puzzled. It was only after a while that she realized that the two broken pots of grass he was pointing to were probably the two pots of auspicious grass that she had given to Old Madam Yan before.
Zhu Qianying knew he was being unreasonable, but she had no intention of coaxing him. She sat in the reception room for a few more minutes, and seeing him busy with his work on the computer, completely losing interest in socializing with her, she stood up, walked to her desk, and said, "Young Master Yan, I'm leaving!"
She's not a masochist, so why would she sit here and be abused?
After saying that, he turned and left without pausing for a moment.
Yan Shao suddenly raised his head, stared at her back and gritted his teeth. Seeing that she had reached the door and her hand was already on the armrest, he shouted at her back.
"stop!"
Zhu Qianying paused, holding onto the handrail, then turned her head and raised an eyebrow at the man behind the desk with an unfriendly expression.
"What's up?"
The man almost threw the folder he was holding at her. "Who said you could leave?"
Zhu Qianying pointed innocently at him, "You!"
The man glared at her. "When did I say you could leave?"
Zhu Qianying shrugged. "Didn't you just tell me to take those two pots of broken weeds away right now? I'll go now, so Young Master Yan won't be annoyed by them!"
After Zhu Qianying finished speaking, without waiting for the man to say anything, she directly opened the door, waved her hand behind her, and then the door slammed shut behind her with a "bang".
Sitting behind his desk, Yan Shao finally couldn't hold back this time. His pencil case flew out with a "whoosh" and slammed against the closed door with a "bang".
Zhu Qianying did hear the sound, but she chose to ignore it. After leaving the president's office, she walked straight towards the elevator.
Qin Xiu, who was working in the office next to Yan Shao, heard the noise and assumed that his master had used force to resolve the issue with Zhu Qianying. He hurriedly opened the door and ran over. When he opened the door, he saw no sign of Zhu Qianying in the office. All he saw was Yan Shao with a dark face and documents scattered all over the floor.
“Master…” Qin Xiu stood at the door, unsure whether to go in or back out.
"Tell Zhu Qianying to come back within five minutes, or the wedding is canceled!" Yan Shaohan ordered Qin Xiu in a low voice.
Qin Xiu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.
As he predicted, the war did indeed break out.
"Aren't you going yet?" Young Master Yan roared again.
Qin Xiu quickly left and picked up the phone to urgently dial Zhu Qianying's number.
