After returning to China, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao were extremely busy. Zhu Qianying completely forgot that she had promised her two children that she would build a large greenhouse and cultivate several plots of vegetables at room temperature in the Yan family garden.
But Yan Shao didn't forget that on the afternoon of the day he returned to L City from abroad, he had Ke Kai set about handling this matter.
On the third night after returning to China, Zhu Qianying overheard Zizai talking about the vegetable garden during dinner and realized her own negligence.
Just as she was about to assure her children that she would take care of it tomorrow, she heard Old Madam Yan say to her son, "Zizai, you want to grow watermelons, right? Tomorrow, Grandma will call that uncle and ask him to come and take a look at where it would be suitable."
After careful consideration, Zhu Qianying finally understood that someone had already come to test the soil quality and fenced off the area at noon that day.
At the dinner table, Zhu Qianying didn't want to ask about the details, after all, her negligent mother had left the matter to the winds.
After dinner, the family went for a walk in the garden as usual.
"Daddy, Mommy, the vegetable garden is over there!"
As soon as they stepped outside, Zizai excitedly dragged his parents to see the vegetable garden.
He and the little girl jogged ahead to lead the way, while Yan Shao, following behind, took the initiative to explain the whole story before Zhu Qianying could ask any questions.
"On the day I returned to China, I entrusted this matter to Kai Zi. This noon, he brought the person in charge of the pollution-free vegetable base in the suburbs to test the soil quality and finally fenced off the land."
Zhu Qianying felt very guilty, but at the same time she was also very fortunate that Young Master Yan remembered this matter; otherwise, they would have become parents who had broken their promise to their child.
After the vegetable plots were fenced off, the initial preparations, such as turning the soil, were all handled by workers from the pollution-free vegetable base.
The planting was done by Yanbo and his wife, who led Zizai and Xiaoxiao, who spent the whole day on Saturday.
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao had to work overtime on Saturday, so they naturally couldn't accompany the two children to plant seeds. However, they made a point of leaving get off work early, thinking they could go home and spend time with the two children as soon as possible.
Not long after the car left Yanhuang, it turned in a different direction, a direction that was clearly not the way back to the Yan family.
Where are we going?
After getting into the car, Yan Shao kept looking at documents on his laptop. When he heard Zhu Qianying ask a question, he didn't even look up and just said, "You'll find out in a bit."
Seeing that he was keeping her in suspense, Zhu Qianying stopped asking. Anyway, the result would be revealed soon.
The car turned left and right, and finally, it drove into the flower and bird market.
Zhu Qianying was a little confused because Yan Shao had never been interested in growing flowers and plants. To date, his only achievement in cultivation was probably growing the lucky grass she gave him into a lush green plant that even flowered and bore fruit.
Apart from that, she had never seen him have any talent or interest in growing flowers and plants.
After getting off the car, Yan Shao led the bewildered Zhu Qianying into the bustling market. After circling around a few corners, they finally stopped at a bird pet shop.
"You want to buy a pet?"
In Zhu Qianying's mind, there was a flashback to the little bird that Zizai and Xiaoxiao had rescued abroad, which they called Zhizhi.
Yan Shao didn't say anything, but took her hand and walked into the store.
The shop owner, who was sitting behind the counter, quickly came up to him, "Young Master Yan, the budgie you ordered has been delivered today. Let me show you."
Zhu Qianying glanced at the man beside her and thought to herself, "This man really spoils those two little brats rotten!"
Young Master Yan, who spoils his two little brats rotten, returned home carrying a cage containing a budgie, and was immediately greeted with a series of screams and several loud kisses from the two kids!
Unsurprisingly, when Yan Shao asked the two children to give the little parrot a nickname, the two mischievous kids shouted out a name in unison without even thinking.
"Squeak!"
Zhu Qianying glanced at the brother and sister who were happily playing with the little parrot on the coffee table, and secretly blew a kiss to Yan Shao!
Yan Shao leaned closer and whispered in her ear with a smile, "This reward is too small, I want a bigger one!"
As for what he meant by "large portion," Zhu Qianying naturally knew the answer.
...
Zizai and Xiaoxiao have been focusing most of their attention on the vegetable garden and Zhizhi lately, and they spend significantly less time with Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao in the evenings.
Therefore, both Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao were able to devote themselves fully to their respective work.
Another week later, Zhu Qianying finally finished her preliminary work and caught her breath, only to receive a call from the designer who had designed her wedding dress.
"Shadow, when are you and Young Master Yan available? Should I go to Yanhuang or come directly to your house to take your measurements?"
Zhu Qianying was bewildered. "Measure the dimensions? What dimensions?"
Is he going to attend some kind of cocktail party?
The designer seemed taken aback by her answer, pausing for a moment before saying, "Huh? Young Master Yan didn't mention it to you? Then ask him!"
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
Too lazy to go upstairs, Zhu Qianying dialed Yan Shao's number directly. Upon asking, Yan Shao remained silent for a while.
After a long while, he sighed helplessly.
"You forgot?"
Zhu Qianying realized that she really couldn't keep up with Yan Shao's thinking lately. Could it be that pregnancy really makes you stupid for three years?
"Forgot what?"
"Do you even remember what day it is in twenty days?" Sitting in the top-floor CEO's office, Young Master Yan rubbed his temples helplessly.
When did his precious wife become so forgetful?
It seems I shouldn't have agreed to let her come back to work so early; I should have let her rest at home for a while longer.
Here, Zhu Qianying glanced at the calendar on the table; December 5th.
"Twenty days from now, it's Christmas!" Zhu Qianying deliberately ignored another day that was very important to both of them.
Sure enough, Yan Shao's tone suddenly changed, "Zhu! Qian! Ying!"
Even through the microphone, Zhu Qianying could clearly hear him gritting his teeth.
"Alright, of course I remember. That day was not only Christmas, but also our seventh wedding anniversary."
Even after Zhu Qianying said that, the phone call was still ruthlessly hung up.
Zhu Qianying then realized that she seemed to have gone a bit too far, so she quickly got up and appeared in the president's office of Yanhuang Group on the top floor two or three minutes later.
More than two hours later, Zhu Qianying returned to her office, rubbing her sore back and looking distressed.
At this moment, she truly understood what it meant to say, "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."
That evening, the fashion designer visited the Yan family and measured the body dimensions of all eight members of the Yan family, including Chen Jing and Luo Yifan, and recorded them all.
"Young Master Yan, give me five days. In five days, I will send you and Shadow's email with the patterns of everyone's formal wear."
Zhu Qianying muttered to herself, "It's just a seventh anniversary, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"
However, she dared not say this in front of Young Master Yan again, after all, she had been experiencing back pain quite frequently lately.
