But Yan Ting is now the only member of the Yan family involved in politics. He represents not just himself, but the entire Yan family.
Moreover, he and Yan Yuan, father and son, took great risks when they did what they did regarding Zizai. If they hadn't managed to extradite Dr. Zhao back, Zizai's current situation would be unknown.
Even individuals like Zhu Junwei may not be able to be punished according to the law.
Zhu Qianying could see all of this clearly.
Yan Shao seemed a little skeptical that Zhu Qianying would agree so easily, after all, Yan Ting was just his older brother, not hers.
"Do you really think I should take this?"
Zhu Qianying nodded. "Your elder brother treats you like his own brother. Over the years, has he ever made things difficult for you? If you can't do it, he certainly won't force you. Besides, back then, with Zizai's matter, they didn't consider whether it would cause them trouble or implicate them, did they?"
Yan Shao had been somewhat hesitant, but after hearing her words, he made up his mind. He took her hand and kissed it.
"Ying'er, thank you for understanding!"
What he feared most was that she wouldn't understand.
It wasn't that he underestimated or looked down on her; rather, humans have an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. Knowing that the harm outweighs the benefit, being a little selfish is the normal choice and reaction.
Therefore, he was prepared that if he really agreed to his elder brother's request, he would have to spend some time persuading Zhu Qianying.
To his utter surprise, she didn't need his persuasion at all; instead, she persuaded him instead.
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him. "What's there to thank me for? We're family. Of course, we should share the burden of family matters!"
Young Master Yan was very pleased that Zhu Qianying did not treat the affairs of Old Yan's family as outsiders' business.
Although he was in L City, as a member of the Yan family, he did have a responsibility to take care of family matters.
However, there was one more very important thing that he also needed to report in advance.
"Ying'er, besides being very difficult, there's something else about this project that I can't quite accept."
In the past, if someone had told him that one day he would be unable to live without someone, he would have scoffed at it.
But now, he feels he has become very attached to his home. He can't live without his wife and children, and even his parents, whom he used to feel distant from, now seem hard to let go of.
"You're going to work in Beijing?"
Zhu Qianying isn't stupid. A project that her elder brother cares about so much, even to the point of affecting his career, must be a very important project, most likely located in the capital.
For such an important project, someone like Yan Shao definitely can't just sit back and do nothing.
She saw right through Yan Shao's thoughts, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
She is his wife, who understands his thoughts, comprehends him, and supports his actions. He feels nothing but gratitude and joy.
"Yes, this project will take nearly a year, which means that if Yanhuang takes on this job, I will have to stay in the capital for at least half a year."
Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, then gently scratched his palm with the hand he was holding, looking at him with a smile.
“It’s okay. While you’re in Beijing, we can stay there occasionally too. During Zizai’s summer and winter vacations, we can stay in Beijing without any problem.”
Anyway, her work can actually be remotely controlled online. It's not difficult for her to occasionally take Xiaoxiao and Zizai back to Beijing for a few days.
In short, if we all make concessions to each other, a year will actually pass very quickly.
After hesitating for so long, Yan Shao finally made a decision.
Although the thought of living apart in different places still gave Yan Shao a headache, with Zhu Qianying's understanding and assurance, he felt that he could really get through it.
A few hours later, the plane arrived in the city where Zhu Qianying was working. Due to the time difference, it was only a little past 5 p.m. there.
Besides the Yan family, several bodyguards also accompanied them this time.
With Xiaoxiao in one arm and Zizai by the other, Yan Shao walked alongside Zhu Qianying at the front, followed by Yan Bo and his wife, and several bodyguards pushing luggage behind them.
As soon as they exited the gate, a tall man came up to them, greeted them respectfully, and then led them out of the airport and into a car that had been parked outside that morning.
Zhu Qianying assumed this person was Yan Shao's friend. After getting into the car, she also thought the destination was a hotel. However, more than an hour after leaving the airport, the car drove into a beautiful villa.
They got out of the car, and two or three people who were clearly Chinese came over to take their luggage. They addressed Mr. and Mrs. Yanbo as "Old Mr. and Mrs. Yanbo," and Young Master Yan and Zhu Qianying as "Young Master and Young Madam Zhu Qianying."
"Honey, is this your house?" Zhu Qianying asked belatedly.
"Dad and Mom!"
Yan Shao bent down and lifted the little girl out of the car. After being confined on the plane and in the car for more than ten hours, the little girl happily ran around in the garden as soon as her feet touched the ground.
Zizai immediately jumped out of the car and ran after his sister.
“Ying’er, your father and I used to live here a lot. Especially in the years after you left in anger, we would get annoyed whenever we saw Xiao Han, so we simply stayed here for a few years and only went back to China to see him occasionally.”
No one has mentioned these things.
Fortunately, everything is happy and fulfilling now, and even when it is mentioned, everyone just treats it as a thing of the past and laughs it off.
Both Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao had long since let go of those past events, and now they simply smiled at each other.
Standing in front of the villa, Madam Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"At the time, your dad and I were having tea on the terrace when we received a call from Ah Hai saying that the young master had come home. I thought that brat Xiao Han had adopted a child..."
It has been almost two years since then, and the two old people have not returned here since.
Zhu Qianying smiled and said.
"Luckily, Zizai has a face exactly like his father's, otherwise, everyone would be terrified, right?"
If Zizai hadn't resembled Yan Shao so much, she really wouldn't have dared to send the little guy back to Yan Shao's side in that way so rashly.
Based on her understanding of Yan Shao at that time, he didn't necessarily like children much; in fact, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he disliked them.
When the old stories were brought up, Yan Shao smiled.
"That's true. Not to mention myself, when Qin Xiu and the others saw him, they immediately said that Zizai was my son. When I saw him, although I was shocked, I immediately thought of you."
This matter has been going on for so long, yet Young Master Yan has never mentioned it to Zhu Qianying.
His words piqued her curiosity.
"What did he say to you back then? Did he just say directly that he is your son?"
Yan Shao glanced up at Zizai, who was carefully following behind his sister and protecting her not far away, and smiled.
"No, that's not it. When I asked him who he was, he gave me a smug look and snorted, 'I'm your grandson's father!'"
