As soon as Zhu Qianying stepped out of the elevator, her phone rang in her bag.
They thought it was Xing Bailun, but it was Qin Xiu.
Zhu Qianying was somewhat surprised. After all, she was still at Yanhuang Group, so why was the phone call coming so quickly?
Could it be that he's here to check if she's managed to appease his boss as he'd hoped?
"Hello, Mr. Qin?"
If this call were from Young Master Yan, Zhu Qianying would definitely not answer.
"Miss Zhu...Young Master Yan..."
Qin Xiu stammered. He was very articulate with others, but he only became so hesitant and stammering when questioned by Yan Shao.
But now, he's doing the same thing to Zhu Qianying. Does it mean she has a powerful aura? Or is it that her presence is enough to make him feel a huge sense of crisis?
"What happened to Young Master Yan? Did he faint? Did he jump off a building?"
Zhu Qianying joked casually, her feet never stopping, and she was about to step out of the gate of Yanhuang.
"Young Master Yan wants you to be back in five minutes, or the wedding will be canceled."
Qin Xiu's words, which he had finally managed to convey clearly, caused Zhu Qianying to quietly retract the foot she had stepped out with.
"Okay, I understand!"
Zhu Qianying bit her lip hard, turned around, and strode back to the elevator.
When Zhu Qianying returned to the top floor, the door to the president's office was wide open. Zhu Qianying stood at the door and knocked.
Qin Xiuzheng was tidying up the messy documents he had picked up from the floor at his desk when he heard a noise. He looked up, silently gave Zhu Qianying a sympathetic look, pointed to the man at the desk who still seemed extremely busy, then straightened up, tucked the untidy documents into his lap, and walked out. As he passed Zhu Qianying, he whispered, "Take care!"
Zhu Qianying smiled gratefully at him, stepped into the office, and casually closed the door behind her.
Or perhaps Yan Shao doesn't mind others watching the process and scene of him making her submit, but she does.
"Young Master Yan..." Standing straight in the same spot as before, Zhu Qianying addressed him with the same words, then stood there quietly, without saying anything more.
Yan Shao raised his head and glanced at her indifferently. "Qin Xiu said it?"
His voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Mmm!" Zhu Qianying responded to him without any emotion.
"Scared?" Yan Shao's eyes were full of mockery.
Zhu Qianying met his gaze directly and nodded honestly, "I'm scared!"
Young Master Yan nodded in satisfaction and gently beckoned to her, "Come here!"
Zhu Qianying hesitated for a moment, but still obediently walked over and stopped two steps away from Yan Shao.
This distance was just right, outside of his reach.
For her, this distance was her last line of defense for safety.
"Come on, tell me, what are you afraid of?"
Yan Shao glanced at her sideways with a victor's air, and it wasn't hard to tell that he was in a pretty good mood.
Zhu Qianying had to admit that Yan Shao's temper was indeed fleeting.
Judging from Qin Xiu's panicked attitude on the phone just now, it's easy to see that Young Master Yan was furious at her for slamming the door and leaving.
But now, she only lowered her stance slightly, and he immediately calmed down.
Ha, what a temper! It's so easy to appease her!
Zhu Qianying snorted inwardly, but just because he was easy to coax didn't mean she had to.
"Young Master Yan, aren't you just asking a question you already know the answer to?"
Regarding this, Zhu Qianying never felt the need to hide it. Besides, how could she possibly hide something from someone as shrewd as Young Master Yan?
"Tell me about it!" Young Master Yan's mood improved even more.
Zhu Qianying sneered inwardly, "Does she really think I'm a little rabbit? Do you think I'll just say whatever you want to hear?"
Dream on!
"Of course, it's because they're afraid Young Master Yan will cancel the engagement..."
Seeing that Young Master Yan's complexion had improved a bit, Zhu Qianying licked her lips and said again.
"Young Master Yan, as you know, I participated in the selection process primarily for the 200 million yuan dowry. If you cancel the engagement, who am I supposed to ask for that 200 million yuan from?"
Yan Shao's expression changed from sunny to cloudy. So, the reason she rushed back so urgently was for money?
What she fears is losing her money.
Upon realizing this truth, Yan Shao felt as if something hard had been forcibly stuffed into his heart, causing him great discomfort and choking.
Originally, what she said wasn't wrong.
He set the selection criteria, so there's nothing wrong with others coming for the 200 million yuan dowry.
Moreover, she made it clear from the beginning that it was a fair and mutually beneficial transaction between the two of them; he gave money and she gave people, and at the time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
At the time, he even thought it was quite clever and sensible of her to think that way.
But times have changed. After spending so much time together, and after they've even done the most intimate things, he felt very uncomfortable hearing her emphasize it so bluntly again!
Could it be that he, the dignified Young Master Yan, is not as charming as someone with two hundred million?
Yan Shao squinted at her and said, "Come here!" The same two words, but the tone was completely different from before.
Zhu Qianying stood motionless, habitually maintaining a distance that made her feel at ease, even when facing ordinary people.
Moreover, the man in front of her was so dangerous that she couldn't even begin to fathom his potential.
Naturally, she would never take a step forward voluntarily.
Just like last time with nursery rhymes, if he hadn't taken her hostage, she would never have given in so readily.
Seeing that she stood there motionless, showing no intention of taking a step forward, Yan Shao noticed that she was not moving at all.
Yan Shao didn't move either.
He's grown up, why should he have to get what he wants by himself?
Whatever he wants, whether it's a person or a thing, will be obediently delivered to his doorstep.
Let's not talk about others, just talk about her. In that nursery rhyme incident, wasn't she the one who obediently threw herself into his arms and offered herself to him?
Now, she's putting on airs in front of him with a touch of arrogance?
Could it be that she thinks that just because she slept with him once, she has the right to act high and mighty with him?
Yan Shao couldn't tell whether he was angry or disdainful. In any case, as the stalemate with Zhu Qianying lasted longer, the expression in his eyes became more and more unfathomable and profound.
Zhu Qianying naturally noticed the change in his expression. She wasn't actually that afraid of the young master Yan who had angrily slammed the documents earlier.
On the contrary, the sinister-looking Young Master Yan in front of her made her feel vaguely uneasy.
She had no idea what he was thinking at that moment. She also had no idea how he would treat her next.
He was like a huge black hole; you could only see the dark opening, but you couldn't see how deep or terrifying it was.
Although she was stubborn, she also understood the principle that an egg cannot break a rock.
In her view, when a person as controlling as him gets angry at her, it means that he is still tolerating her and trying to communicate with her.
But his current silence might mean that he is considering how to deal with her, or rather, how to punish her so that she will behave in the future.
