"Ying'er, come here..."
Just as Zhu Qianying came out of the washroom, Yan Shao's voice came from the dressing room.
"What's up?"
Zhu Qianying was a little scared lately because Young Master Yan seemed to have the idea of opening a sports venue elsewhere. For the sake of her old back, Zhu Qianying decided that it was better to be a little wary of this man.
"Come in..."
Young Master Yan's tone was that of someone seeking favor and affection, with a slightly drawn-out voice.
Zhu Qianying walked in as if possessed. "Let me warn you first, I've made plans to go horseback riding with Aaron and the others tomorrow, so don't you dare assault me!"
Zhu Qianying's words left Yan Shao both amused and exasperated. He turned around to face her as she walked in.
"I just asked you to help me tie my tie, what on earth are you thinking?"
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him, reached out, grabbed his tie, and skillfully and attentively tied it for him.
Yan Shao looked down at her as her slender, fair fingers fidgeted with her tie for a while, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"What are you thinking about this time, you little rascal?"
Zhu Qianying raised her eyelids and glanced at her. "What I think is not important. The key is what you did!"
Yan Shao chuckled, his chest heaving with laughter, his hot skin instantly making her hands burn as well.
"Honey, tell me, what did I do?"
As Yan Shao spoke, he placed his large hand on her waist and gently pinched it.
Zhu Qianying had already tied her tie, but with a forceful tug, the tie immediately became a slipknot, causing Yan Shao to choke for a moment.
"Hehe, darling, tell me, what did you do?"
Yan Shao pulled her into his arms and patted her back. "It's nothing more than doing something that you liked and I enjoyed, isn't it?"
His frankness left Zhu Qianying speechless.
The two fooled around in the locker room for a while, and came downstairs a little later than usual.
The young master's bright eyes swept back and forth between his parents before he pouted and complained, "You guys are so slow! I'm going to be late..."
Originally, if the two drivers had been assigned to take Zizai and Bai Xiaolu separately, they could have left home later.
However, the young master insisted on going to school with Bai Xiaolu. Every day, Bai Xiaolu had to be sent back to school first, and then the young master would be sent back. So, if there was any delay, time would become a bit tight.
"I'm sorry, baby. Daddy is a bit clumsy and doesn't know how to tie a tie, so I had Mommy tie it for me, which is why it took a little longer."
Young Master Yan took the blame upon himself, and in fact, it was indeed his fault!
"Hmph, you idiot!"
The young master doesn't seem to be in a good mood today.
"Zizai, have Uncle Yan and Aunt Yingzi take you, and Grandma will take me. That way, you won't be late."
He spoke quite earnestly on a side path.
"No, we can easily fit in one car, why split into two?"
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying exchanged a glance. This little guy was clearly worried about Bai Xiaolu, but he insisted on pretending to be indifferent.
Xiao Luzi then stopped talking, and Zhu Qianying quickly smoothed things over.
"Yes, it's so lively when they go to school together!"
The two little ones had no further objections, so it seems they accepted Zhu Qianying's reasoning.
After calming the two little ones down, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao quickly finished their breakfast and took the two children out the door.
The car drove to the street corner, and as usual, Chen Jing led Xiao Luzi out of the car.
The little girl smiled and waved goodbye to the people in the car, then slowly walked away with Chen Jing by her hand.
"Mommy, when are Grandpa Dong and Aunt Xiaoshao coming back?"
Zhu Qianying lowered her eyes and gazed at him, then raised her hand and touched his head. "Missing them?"
Zizai nodded, "Yeah, I did think about it, but not as much as Bai Xiaolu!"
It seems the little girl said something to Zizai.
Due to the special circumstances, after Bai Shao and her group boarded the ship, their mobile phones, all communication devices, and all electronic products that could communicate with the outside world were temporarily confiscated.
So far, more than a day has passed, and Zhu Qianying and the others have still not been able to contact Bai Shao. According to Yan Shao's estimation, if Jiang Qi can really find Dr. Zhao to help Bai Xiangdong with the surgery, the time of isolation from the outside world will probably be even longer.
"Okay, then Zizai, spend more time with Xiaoluzi, okay?"
In the car, the family of three was discussing Bai Xiaolu's situation. While walking on the road, Bai Xiaolu asked Chen Jing, "Grandma, when I was at school, did my mom call home?"
How could Chen Jing be so heartless? She had no choice but to lie and say, "Yes, I did. When Xiao Lu was at school, your mommy even asked your mother-in-law to tell you to stay home and wait for her and your grandfather."
Bai Xiaolu, who had been looking dejected, excitedly shook Chen Jing's hand, "Really? I thought my mommy hadn't called back!"
Chen Jing chatted with her cautiously, responding to her every move, afraid that she might say something she shouldn't because she was clumsy with words.
Kids these days are so smart, and I'm so stupid. If I accidentally let something slip, I don't know how heartbroken that girl would be.
After finally getting Xiao Luzi back to school, Chen Jing asked the Yan family's driver to take her to the wholesale market to shop.
"Aunt Jing, where's your husband?" A vendor couldn't help but gossip when he saw Chen Jingzhong alone.
Because Bai Xiangdong had accompanied her most of the time, many people gradually came to believe that she and Bai Xiangdong were husband and wife.
After all, although Bai Xiangdong looks rugged, he is a shrewd and meticulous person. He accompanied Chen Jing, so Chen Jing didn't have to carry any heavy things.
Therefore, no matter how they explained, everyone in the wholesale market who knew them firmly believed that Bai Xiangdong was Chen Jing's husband.
"He's not my husband...he's my brother!"
Now, Chen Jing is basically able to sort out and straighten out the relationships with the people she comes into contact with.
The vendors didn't believe her at all, they just looked at her with ambiguous smiles, and then said, "I understand, I understand, don't folk songs often sing about brothers and sisters?"
After visiting several stalls, Chen Jing was too lazy to explain or argue anymore. Let them misunderstand if they want; it's not like she'd lose anything.
Let them say whatever they want!
Because I hadn't been to the market to shop for the past two or three days, the store's stock was almost gone, so I had a lot to buy today.
Chen Jing wandered around the wholesale market several times before finally managing to buy all the ingredients she needed.
The car was parked in front of the restaurant. Today, there was still a man standing outside the restaurant, and Chen Jing assumed it was the same man she had mistaken for yesterday.
After getting off the bus, before she could even go around to the back to help, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
