Yan Shao continued, "I'm telling you to make the most of the time. While I can still see her and spend time with her, I should see her more and spend more time with her."
Zhu Qianying fell silent, her heart inevitably moved by Yan Shao's words.
If it were someone else, they might have taken Yan Shao's words as a sophistry.
But Zhu Qianying knew that Yan Shao's words came from his heart.
This accident probably touched and moved Zizai a lot.
His behavior at this moment was completely different from Mr. Deng's "keeping a close eye on" him.
The key point Mr. Deng was referring to was prevention and preparedness.
The key point that Yan Shao mentioned was companionship.
Mr. Deng was unaware of all the troubles that had transpired in his family, but after hearing what Young Master Yan said, he seemed somewhat moved.
"I never imagined that Young Master Yan was such a romantic."
Yan Shao seemed quite pleased with these half-hearted, half-flattering words, saying, "Every man can be a romantic when he meets the right person."
Mr. Deng: "..."
Yan Shao's display of affection caught Mr. Deng, who is still single, completely off guard. He said that this display of affection could have made him burst.
To avoid being both overwhelmed and blinded by the brilliance, Mr. Deng decided that staying away from Young Master Yan was the best course of action.
"Mrs. Yan, why don't we go to the scene and take a look?"
Although he didn't think he was testing Yan Shao, in Yan Shao's eyes, it was more than just a test; it was a direct provocation.
Yan Shao, who had just opened an email, slammed his laptop shut and stood up abruptly.
"Let's go, I'll go with you to take a look around, she's not familiar with the area."
Young Master Yan really thinks everyone else is stupid? The 26th and 27th floors are basically the original unfinished structure. Apart from the pillars supporting the building, they are empty and have nothing inside. Why would anyone need to know the terrain?
However, Mr. Deng, who had just been force-fed a large bag of dog food, dared not joke around anymore, otherwise he might really choke to death.
However, while Yan Shao accompanied her, when they were wandering around the 26th and 27th floors, he was really only responsible for introducing the structure and direction. He basically never interfered with Zhu Qianying's various ideas about the layout of the studio and the design of the exhibition hall, leaving her to discuss them with Mr. Deng.
After going around in circles, Mr. Deng had to admit that his vision was too narrow. Yan Shao's attitude towards his wife was indeed not the traditional kind of "keeping a close eye on her".
Rather, as Yan Shao himself said, he simply wanted to see her and spend time with her, nothing more.
Zhu Qianying chatted with Mr. Deng until nearly five o'clock. It wasn't until Yan Shao reminded her that she and Mr. Deng exchanged contact information such as phone numbers, WeChat, and QQ for easy communication. Then, the three of them left Yanhuang Group together.
Because time was a bit tight, Zhu Qianying called the villa from the car and told the two elders to go directly to the seafood restaurant around the same time, as she and Yan Shao would not go home and would go directly there.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Qianying suddenly asked Yan Shao, "Could you spare a day or two to come over in a few days?"
Yan Shao was taken aback. In a few days? Isn't it almost Dragon Boat Festival? Is she... scheduling a time for her birthday?
Or perhaps, she simply wanted to test him?
"Sure, is there anything special you need?" Young Master Yan pretended to have forgotten about her birthday.
"The rings I gave to Mom and Uncle Luo will be delivered by Boss Qian in a few days. I'd like to go to Beijing to inspect them myself. I've been thinking that Zizai hasn't seen his grandparents for a while, so I'd like to take him with me for a day or two so he can keep the elderly folks company. What do you think?"
Yan Shao secretly calculated that her birthday was eight days later, which happened to be a Saturday.
"When can you deliver the goods, Mr. Qian? Is the day after tomorrow okay?"
After Zhu Qianying mentioned it, Yan Shao remembered that the little guy hadn't returned to the capital to visit his elders for a while.
If Zhu Qianying hadn't mentioned it, the old man would probably have resorted to political means to force him to remember it.
He had already made arrangements for Ke Zhu Qianying's birthday and absolutely could not let it be disrupted by going back to accompany the old man.
Zhu Qianying didn't ask him why he chose the day after tomorrow. After all, he always had a lot of things to do, so it was normal for him to try to schedule it for Saturdays and Sundays.
"I'll call him and ask!"
As Zhu Qianying spoke, she took out her phone and dialed directly.
This matter might not be so easy to discuss with others, but this person is Zhu Qianying, the granddaughter-in-law of the Yan family. How could Boss Qian say no?
The result was predictable.
"He said it's okay, so should we take a night flight tomorrow night or something?"
Yan Shao thought for a moment, "Mom and Dad will probably go back together. Given Zizai's current condition, let's just take a private plane back."
Although she felt it was a bit extravagant, Zhu Qianying nodded without hesitation for Zizai's safety.
"Alright!"
During the meal, Zhu Qianying mentioned to Yan Bo and Madam Yan her idea of returning to the capital together the next night, which was immediately met with enthusiastic responses from Yan Bo and his wife, and even little Zizai.
"Grandma, it's such a pity you have to go to the competition. Otherwise, you and Grandpa Luo could have gone to Grandpa's house together."
Chen Jing and Luo Yifan both expressed their regret, while Yan Bo patted Zizai's head and corrected him with a smile.
“Zizai, that’s not just Great-Grandpa’s house, it’s also Zizai’s house!”
Zizai nodded emphatically, "Yes, it's also the home of Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy, and Mommy!"
In a sense, that is indeed the case.
Although Yan Bo made it clear after establishing his own household that he would not inherit anything from the Yan family, because he did not want his father, brothers and sisters to pursue official careers, he was willing to give up everything from the Yan family and leave with nothing in exchange for his precious freedom.
At first, Old Master Yan was indeed very angry and even threatened that if Yan Bo did not return to the capital, the Yan family would not give him a single penny.
But those were just angry words spoken by a father who loved his son dearly.
Even now, Yan Bo, Yan Shao, and even their son Yan Xu are still listed as heirs in the Yan family's line of succession.
Although, for the three of them, the Yan family's assets, in terms of sheer amount of money, were insignificant compared to the Yanhuang Group and the Tong family's businesses.
But those things are proof of their status as descendants of the Yan family!
Hearing what Zizai said, Chen Jing replied, "Alright, then Grandma can visit Zizai's home in Beijing next time, okay?"
Zizai immediately felt like a little master and rattled off a bunch of good things about Lao Yan's family.
When they had almost finished eating, Chen Jing spoke to Zhu Qianying.
"Ying'er, I won't be able to celebrate your birthday with you this year. When I get back from the competition, your Uncle Luo and I will make it up to you with a big gift!"
Zhu Qianying winked mischievously at Luo Yifan, "What Uncle Luo? Back then, he was my dad!"
