"Young Master Yan, is the food not to your liking?" The photographer, who was completely unaware of the situation, asked with concern.
"No, I'm not hungry!"
Yan Shao's words were completely unconvincing.
Everyone in the photography team knew that, like Zhu Qianying, he hadn't eaten anything except water from morning till night.
However, since Young Master Yan had said so, no one present dared to ask any further questions.
Zhu Qianying wasn't afraid to speak up, but rather too lazy, because she knew that even if she tried to persuade him, he might not eat another bite.
She had personally witnessed someone who would rather starve than eat a single bite of food that didn't suit their taste.
Yan Shao ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then picked up the photographer's camera to look at the photos. In contrast, Zhu Qianying seemed to have no interest in the photos at all.
"Make a copy of these photos and send it to Qin Xiu."
The photographer will have to do a lot of processing on the photos in the camera after he gets back. Zhu Qianying doesn't understand why he wants to leave them as they are.
The photographer dared not have the slightest objection and nodded repeatedly, saying that it would be released later.
After having dinner at the farm, it was already past eight o'clock. Zhu Qianying fell asleep shortly after getting into the car, until Yan Shao woke her up. When she opened her eyes, the car was already parked outside the Zhu family's gate.
"Ugh, so tired!" Zhu Qianying stretched lazily in front of Yan Shao without any decorum, and then yawned.
"Are you a pig? All you do is eat and sleep!" Young Master Yan sneered, looking at her coldly.
Zhu Qianying shrugged indifferently, "So what if I'm a pig? In short, for me, being able to eat my fill and sleep my fill is the greatest happiness."
After saying that, he opened the car door, stepped out, and then waved to Young Master Yan in the back seat, "Young Master Yan, bye-bye!"
Yan Shao didn't say anything, he just waved to her and signaled her to close the car door.
Zhu Qianying had slept the whole way and was in much better spirits, so she entered the gate with light steps.
The gatekeeper suddenly called out to her, "Fifth Miss!"
Zhu Qianying turned her head. "What is it?"
"The second young master of the Qi family wants you to call him back immediately upon your return!"
Zhu Qianying then remembered that, in order to avoid being affected by the outside world, she had turned off her phone after getting into Yan Shao's car early in the morning.
"Okay, I understand!"
Zhu Qianying assumed that Qi Xiao had only contacted her to gossip about her wedding photos taken that day.
When they were taking photos at the horse farm, she didn't see Xing Bolun or the others. She couldn't help but suspect that Yan Shao had never told them that the two of them were taking wedding photos at the horse farm.
The temperature wasn't too low that night, and Zhu Qianying was wearing a light jacket. So she found a chair in the garden, sat down, and turned on her phone.
As soon as the device is turned on, a series of unread message notification sounds begin to ring frequently.
Zhu Qianying opened the last message from Qi Xiao: "Shadow, come to the Central Hospital immediately upon seeing this message. Aaron is injured and is currently undergoing surgery!"
The message was sent at 12:10 PM.
Zhu Qianying stood up abruptly, and without thinking, ran towards the gate.
The gatekeeper was already used to their fifth young lady running out at random times, so he didn't ask any questions and obediently opened the gate to let her out.
Zhu Qianying ran several hundred meters before finally managing to flag down a taxi.
"Brother, please go to the Central Hospital."
After giving her instructions, slightly out of breath, Zhu Qianying took out her phone and called Qi Xiao.
The call was answered quickly. "Shadow, where are you now? Have you seen my message?"
Zhu Qianying was still panting, but she couldn't care less about that and hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, I saw your last message. I just left home. How is Aaron doing?"
"I have a fractured left shinbone and multiple bruises on my body. I'm resting in the ward now and I'm fine."
"How could this be? Did he get into a fight?" Zhu Qianying was shocked, and the image of Young Master Yan flashed through her mind.
"No, we had a horse race this morning. Aaron was particularly aggressive today, leading us by a lot. He was probably too impatient and angered his horse. When we got to Tiger Valley, we only saw Aaron lying unconscious at the foot of the hill, covered in wounds. His horse was nowhere to be seen."
Qi Xiao's words, besides explaining how Xing Bailun was injured, also revealed a piece of information.
That is, Xing Bolun is in a very bad mood today.
These guys have been hanging out together for so many years, and they all acknowledge Xing Bailun as the eldest brother.
Firstly, because Xing Bolun is indeed the oldest among the five.
Secondly, it's also because Xing Bailun is calm and composed in the face of adversity and rarely acts impulsively.
Qi Xiao and the others had all experienced getting impatient and angering their horses during horse races, but Xing Bailun had never done it.
At least, in all the years Zhu Qianying has known him, she has never seen him lose his composure over the outcome of a match.
In Zhu Qianying's memory, he has always been a very organized and planned person. Even on the field, he strictly follows his own game strategy. Even when he is behind, he is not impatient or anxious. Often, he is able to win the final victory.
As for why he was in a bad mood today, Zhu Qianying no longer needed to ask.
Even if Xing Bailun didn't actually see her taking pictures with Yan Shao, just hearing the news must have been a huge blow to him.
"Da Qi, I'll be there in about half an hour. Is there anything you need me to bring? Or, is there anything Aaron needs?"
“We don’t need anything, just come over.” Qi Xiao paused for a moment, then added, “In the future, you’d better not mention your relationship with Young Master Yan in front of him.”
Zhu Qianying's heart sank. "Yes, I know. Da Qi, tell me honestly, did Young Master Yan say something to him?"
"Young Master Yan didn't say anything, but while you were taking wedding photos by the lake, we happened to be resting on the hillside..."
Although Qi Xiao didn't explain it clearly, his meaning was quite obvious.
"Daqi, do you think it's appropriate for me to go see him now?"
Zhu Qianying was very worried about Xing Bailun, but she was also afraid that her appearance would only rub salt into Xing Bailun's still bleeding wound.
Qi Xiao immediately responded, "Come on, he was lucid for a while and came looking for you."
Zhu Qianying hummed in agreement. Qi Xiao then said, "Yingzi, we all understand this. We can't blame you. It's just that Aaron had too many unavoidable difficulties. There's something I need to say. As your mutual friend, I hope you can remain friends in the future. Please don't put him in a cold shoulder, otherwise, I'm afraid he really can't take it!"
Zhu Qianying sighed silently. It turned out that others always saw things more clearly than she did.
If she had known from the beginning that Xing Bailun harbored other feelings for her... then she...
So what can she do?
It seems nothing will change!
