In mid-December, Zhu Qianying went to Beijing to inspect some of the works to be exhibited at Boss Qian's processing plant.
However, she did not linger in the capital. She left early in the morning, arrived in the capital at noon, and rushed back after finishing her business. Young Master Yan personally drove to the airport to pick her up, and it was already midnight when she got home.
Xiao Xiao and Zi Zai were already asleep. As soon as Zhu Qianying entered the room, she went to check on the two children, carrying a chill with her. Only then did she go to take a bath.
"Honey, why is the water in the bathtub so dirty?"
Zhu Qianying, completely naked, peeked out from behind the bathroom door and asked softly.
Yan Shao, who was leaning against the bed, closed the book in his hand, glanced at his precious daughter who was sleeping peacefully in the crib, got up, first pulled the blanket to cover the little girl, then walked over and bent down to kiss Zhu Qianying's face that was peeking out.
“Your hands and feet have been a bit cold lately, so I had someone prescribe some Chinese medicine. The water in the bathtub was boiled with Chinese medicine, it’s not dirty.”
Zhu Qianying belatedly realized that it was no wonder she smelled Chinese medicine as soon as she entered the bathroom. Before she could say anything, Yan Shao kissed her lips again and coaxed her softly.
"Sweetie, soak in the water for a while, and I'll give you a massage after you get out."
More than half an hour later, Zhu Qianying lay comfortably on the bed, enjoying the luxurious service of her private masseuse.
"Husband, you're so good to me!" Zhu Qianying, nestled on the pillow with her face turned to the side, mumbled softly, half asleep.
Yan Shao was aroused by her muffled voice. Seeing the dark shadows under her eyes, he took a few deep breaths and tried his best to suppress the rising heat.
"The wedding dress has been delivered. Try it on tomorrow morning."
"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying's consciousness had completely fallen into the void.
...
Shops along the main street have been adorned with colorful decorations, and businesses are launching a series of promotional activities with Christmas as the theme. As Christmas approaches, it also means that Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao's seventh wedding anniversary is getting closer.
For the past two weeks, the two little ones, Zizai and Xiaoxiao, have been incredibly excited. One day, when Zhu Qianying returned home, Xiaoxiao, dressed in a white lace dress, happily twirled around in front of her, humming the tune of the wedding march.
The pitch and rhythm of her humming were very accurate, and her voice was very soft and gentle, completely different from her carefree personality, as sweet as her appearance.
The eleven-month-old baby girl has delicate and beautiful features that are hard to look away from. Her long, black hair, which is longer than her shoulders, is loose and she wears a beautiful flower crown on her head. She is so fresh and beautiful that she looks like a lotus emerging from the water, or a pure little angel who has fallen to earth.
Without a doubt, all of these were made by Vic Chou's older brother.
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao squatted down together, watching intently as the little girl hummed a tune and twirled around. As they listened and watched, their eyes gradually became misty.
The little girl finally stopped, her bright eyes glistening with moisture, and looked at her parents with expectant eyes.
Zhu Qianying clapped her hands first, "Little one is so great! Daddy and Mommy love her!"
The little girl rushed over and pressed her warm, chubby little face against Zhu Qianying's face, as if a warm patch had been placed on Zhu Qianying's heart.
Many, many years later, whenever Zhu Qianying recalls this scene, she cannot help but shed tears.
Zhu Qianying thought this was a game that Zizai and Xiaoxiao were playing.
But on their wedding anniversary, they learned that it was actually a rehearsal.
In the days leading up to Christmas, Zhu Qianying became increasingly busy because she needed to finish her urgent work so that she could properly celebrate her and Yan Shao's seventh anniversary.
Compared to her, Young Master Yan seems to be busier.
He still goes back to the company with Zhu Qianying every day as usual. However, he usually goes out to run errands at noon and hasn't had lunch with Zhu Qianying for several days.
That evening, the driver picked Zhu Qianying up and took her home. Of course, she no longer thought he was simply busy, as she had on her birthday. She guessed that he was probably busy preparing the venue and program for their anniversary.
Since she knew he was hiding it from her to surprise her, she kept quiet and never asked about the plans for their anniversary.
As for the location, she asked once, but he said "it's a secret," so she wisely didn't ask again.
On December 24th, Yan Shao insisted on sending Zhu Qianying back to her parents' home, which is now Chen Jing and Luo Yifan's home.
Zhu Qianying was very dissatisfied, but Yan Shao insisted, so she had no choice but to give in.
After all, there must be a reason why he insists on this.
On Christmas morning, a makeup artist came to Zhu Qianying's house to do her makeup and help her put on her newly designed wedding dress. Chen Jing watched from the side, smiling broadly.
"Mom, is Young Master Yan going to come back to pick up the bride later?"
It's perfectly normal for her to think that Yan Shao insisted she go back to her parents' house for the night and sent a makeup artist over early in the morning to do her makeup.
Chen Jing smiled and shook her head, "No, he already took the bride away. If he comes to pick her up again, where am I supposed to get another one?"
Therefore, Zhu Qianying can be fairly certain that everyone knows today's itinerary and location, except for her, the person involved, who is kept in the dark.
After figuring it out, Zhu Qianying stopped asking questions, knowing she wouldn't get any answers. After finishing her makeup, she, Chen Jing, and Luo Yifan left the neighborhood in a car sent by the Yan family.
The car made several turns in the city and then entered the ring expressway, which was somewhat different from Zhu Qianying's guess.
She had assumed that Young Master Yan would choose the villa in Wanghaiju to hold the anniversary party, but judging from the direction the car was currently driving, that possibility could be ruled out.
"Brother Wang, where are we going now?" Zhu Qianying tried to probe, the feeling of being kept in the dark by everyone else was just too awful.
"Shadow, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
Clearly, the driver, like Chen Jing, had been bribed and silenced.
Okay, fine, I won't ask. Anyway, she has eyes, she can see for herself.
She thought defiantly.
The temperature wasn't low today, and the sun was shining brightly outside. Sitting in the car, Zhu Qianying felt restless, having missed her son and daughter all night.
"Mom, why don't you use your phone to call Zizai? I miss Xiaoxiao and Zizai."
When the call connected, Chen Jing held the phone to Zhu Qianying's ear.
"Grandma, has my mommy gone out?"
Zhu Qianying chuckled, "I'm Mommy, and we're heading towards the highway. Tell Mommy, where are we going?"
"Mommy, don't worry, we're going to a very, very beautiful place."
This time, however, the little guy refused to betray his father.
