Under the careful care of the Yan family, led by Young Master Yan, Zhu Qianying safely entered her fourth month of pregnancy.
For the past four months, Zhu Qianying has been extremely cooperative with Yan Shao's various caring arrangements, something Yan Shao would never have dared to imagine before, and even something Zhu Qianying herself never thought of.
After all, she is actually a very opinionated and assertive woman.
It's not easy for her to comfortably enjoy the care and arrangements made for her like a gentle woman.
However, she is different now than before. She has learned to hide her stubbornness and persistence appropriately, and occasionally act coquettishly and give in, just like Zizai, enjoying the young master Yan's service and care with a clear conscience.
Zhu Qianying, who hadn't been back to Yanhuang Group for nearly three months, returned to Yanhuang with Yan Shao on this day because the studio was completed and ready for inspection.
It was nearing the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather was slightly cool. Zhu Qianying wore a loose-fitting suspender dress, a short-sleeved jacket, and white flat shoes. She strolled leisurely and easily, arm in arm with Young Master Yan, into the top-floor reception hall.
Qin Xiu, who was greeting customers in the lobby, saw his master enter with Zhu Qianying, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He apologized to the customers and then got up to greet them.
"Shadow, you've finally been cleared to leave the country?"
Qin Xiu chuckled and teased, his gaze casually sweeping over Zhu Qianying a few times.
Zhu Qianying, who already showed signs of pregnancy, smiled and nodded in response to Qin Xiu.
"Yes, after being kept like a pig for several months, I almost lost my sense of direction."
Despite being teased by his subordinates and wife, Yan Shao, the pampered young master, wasn't annoyed at all. He reached out and pinched Zhu Qianying's cheek, saying with a hint of annoyance.
"It's a pity that even after being kept in captivity for several months, it hasn't gained much weight."
Qin Xiu had a different opinion, "Master, although Yingzi hasn't gained weight, her complexion has improved a lot."
Qin Xiu's words were not flattery. Apart from her slightly protruding belly, Zhu Qianying's figure was indeed the same as before, but her skin was fair and rosy, and her smiling, crescent-shaped eyes were much brighter than before.
At first glance, her complexion and overall appearance are indeed more radiant than before.
Yan Shao lowered his eyes and carefully looked Zhu Qianying over, still not quite satisfied, and pinched her waist, "It's not enough to just have a good complexion, you're not gaining any weight!"
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him. "Young Master, how much do you want me to be as fat as a pig?"
Young Master Yan gently stroked her back to comfort her, "It's okay for a pregnant woman to gain weight!"
Qin Xiu watched the two flirting in a roundabout way and was quite envious. "Shadow, I'm just worried that you're too charming, and he'll have to be on guard all the time!"
Yan Shao did not deny Qin Xiu's statement, and nodded, adding, "Besides, the baby gets all the nutrition from the mother. You're so thin that your hands are raw, where will the baby get the nutrition?"
Zhu Qianying feigned annoyance and shook off his hand. "In the end, you're just worried that your precious child isn't getting enough nutrition!" she said, striding towards the office and pushing open the door.
Yan Shao knew, of course, that she was faking her anger. He stood there, exchanged a few pleasantries with the clients who came over, and then pushed open the office door.
"Honey, I'd like to have dinner at Mingxuan Center tonight."
Although Zhu Qianying is not fat, she has always had a great appetite, especially recently. Not only does she eat a lot at each meal, but she also eats six meals a day instead of four.
Of course, this is partly due to her good appetite, and also because the baby starts to grow taller from four months old, and the need for nutrition increases. In addition, Zhu Qianying practices yoga with a yoga instructor every day, and the amount of exercise is quite large. All these factors combined have made Zhu Qianying, who can eat like a cow, the current Zhu Qianying.
"Okay, should it be just the two of us, or should we go as a family?"
Nowadays, Young Master Yan occasionally leaves his family behind and goes out to eat and watch movies with Zhu Qianying. Sometimes, his son insists on coming along, but Young Master Yan just pats his bottom and says, "Be good, your mommy and I are having a romantic time together, don't be a third wheel!"
Yan Shao has his own thoughts on this.
Although he and Zhu Qianying have been married for nearly six years, in reality, they have only spent a few months truly in love and spending time together. Strictly speaking, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are currently in the honeymoon phase.
During these few months of "honeymoon period," the two of them were busy with work most of the time. When they went out, it was basically all group activities with the whole family. He and Zhu Qianying didn't have much time alone, except for the time they spent in the bedroom.
Now, Zhu Qianying is pregnant again. After the baby is born in a few months, Zhu Qianying will not be able to move around freely for at least a few months.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the time when Zhu Qianying was still able to move around freely, to spend more time alone with her, and to do some things that people in love should do.
For example, the two of you could take a walk in the park together, or find a quiet and beautiful restaurant for a romantic meal, or even accompany her to a boutique to find some little trinkets she loves...
In short, during the months that Zhu Qianying was pregnant, Yan Shao gave her not only meticulous care and protection, but also all the sweetness and warmth of a passionate relationship.
"Let's go as a family. Mom, Dad, and Zai Zai all love the geoduck there."
"Alright, I'll have Shao Shan reserve seats for us and prepare some top-quality ingredients."
Yan Shao took out his phone and dialed the number in front of Zhu Qianying.
Since the change of ownership, Mingxuan Group's stock price has steadily rebounded, and the business of its various hotels has gradually shaken off its previous slump.
With the hard work of An Lan and Shao Shan, the presence of Chen Jing, a gold medalist at a food exhibition, as the head chef, and the strong backing of Yan Shao, Mingxuan Group's business volume in the past month or two has gradually returned to the average level during Zhu Junwei's time.
This was nothing short of a miracle for a group on the verge of bankruptcy.
This miracle is inseparable from Chen Jing's efforts over the past few months. During these months, she and her chefs have developed many new dishes and gradually replaced all the signature dishes of Mingxuan's various hotels.
These completely new signature dishes quickly won over diners' palates, and after a few months, business naturally improved.
As for the travel department and clubhouses, An Lan and Shao Shan implemented sweeping reforms, introducing a series of preferential policies while also signing several mutually beneficial large contracts with major travel agencies...
Thus, after several months of hard work by everyone, Mingxuan Group's business in all aspects gradually returned to normal and steadily recovered.
The chairwoman, Zhu Qianying, only shows up at the monthly meetings to listen to the reports and summaries from the senior executives. The rest of the time, she acts as a hands-off manager, living a carefree life.
