He lowered his eyes, looking at her with doting eyes, and asked softly, "Is it delicious?"
"Mmm..." Zhu Qianying opened her mouth and ate the dumpling in one bite.
With her mouth still full, she imitated Yan Shao, picking one from her own bowl and holding it to his lips, "Try mine!"
The former germaphobe probably never imagined that one day he would eat food served with someone else's chopsticks, and from someone else's bowl.
However, this person was Zhu Qianying, who was like himself to him, so he didn't even have basic awareness and opened his mouth to take the dumpling.
"Your filling is still the best!" Yan Shao commented.
Zhu Qianying muttered under her breath, "Are you trying to enslave me for the rest of my life?"
"You can do any kind of work for me, as long as you don't mind the taste!"
Yan Shao's words reminded Zhu Qianying of the young master's recent erratic behavior, and she burst out laughing!
"What are you laughing at?" Young Master Yan was puzzled by her laughter.
"Remembering all the blunders you made recently, I wouldn't dare to enslave you!"
Zhu Qianying was referring to the bunch of things that Yan Shao did after returning from his trip to R City to learn from the Ji brothers, which he claimed were helping but actually made things worse.
"It's not that you're afraid, it just means you don't love me enough!"
Yan Shao pinched her cheek and shamelessly pinned the blame on Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying glanced at him sideways, "Even your dad doesn't dare eat your mom's cooking. Do you dare say your dad doesn't love your mom enough?"
Mentioning Madam Yan's culinary monstrosities, even someone as mentally strong as Young Master Yan couldn't help but shudder.
"Alright, you and I. You're in charge of earning money to support the family, and I'll be in charge of looking after the house. The division of labor is clear, and neither of us is allowed to complain. Anyone who complains will be dragged out and executed!"
Zhu Qianying then made a "click" sound, which amused Yan Shao!
About twenty minutes later.
Ah...I'm so full!
Zhu Qianying leaned back in her chair with great satisfaction, her belly sticking out and rubbing it without any decorum.
Of course, she did this because the partition between the front and rear seats had already been raised.
Yan Shao smiled and looked at her for a while, then reached out and helped to rub her stomach.
"Who told you to eat so much? You ate two portions by yourself!"
This once again proves that his wife is really easy to please. She doesn't need a romantic atmosphere or delicacies; just finding a place and serving her two bowls of dumplings to fill her stomach is enough to make her extremely satisfied.
Most importantly, she paid for it herself.
"Eating is like playing; you should enjoy it to the fullest! If you can't even eat your fill, how can you talk about the joys of life!"
Zhu Qianying shamelessly embellished her reputation for having a big appetite.
"It's best to eat until you're about 70-80% full. Always eating until you're stuffed isn't good for your health!"
Young Master Yan dotes on Zhu Qianying, but sometimes he can't help but nag her. Now, he's back to his nagging mode, and Zhu Qianying just closes her eyes and pretends to be asleep.
Yan Shao is mostly helpless against her, and he himself is conflicted about how much she eats.
For example, she usually eats two bowls of rice, but if she eats less than half a bowl, he will ask her all sorts of questions, such as whether she is feeling unwell or whether the food does not suit her taste.
Usually at times like this, Zhu Qianying wouldn't mind his nagging; she would simply look at him and call out, "Mom!"
Yan Shao had no choice but to shut up.
For example, at this moment, he could only look at her pretending to be asleep and helplessly choose to keep quiet.
It was during this time that he realized he wasn't actually as principled as he thought.
Because there will always be some people who, even if you know they are wrong, you will still willingly spoil and coax them.
"Sir, where are we going?"
It wasn't until the driver asked that Yan Shao got into the car. He was so focused on cleaning Zhu Qianying's stomach and lecturing her that he completely forgot to give the driver directions.
Zhu Qianying, who was asleep with her eyes closed, had her lips twitch slightly.
"Brother Chen, take me back to the restaurant first."
Yan Shao stared at her, actually quite puzzled. The store clearly had enough staff, so why did she always seem to be running into the store for no reason?
Could it be that you're going to see those two handsome young men?
Although he had a slight unease in his heart, Yan Shao still gently coaxed him.
"What are you going to a restaurant for? At this hour, restaurants are probably not serving customers, and they're not busy. Why don't you go home and rest, hmm?"
But Zhu Qianying insisted, "No!", though her voice was drowsy and sleepy.
Yan Shao had no choice but to tell the driver, "Then let's go to the restaurant first, and then you can take me back to Tongjia Village later."
As he spoke, he turned Zhu Qianying around so that she could rest her head on his lap, and then covered her with a thin blanket. "Sleep for a while, I'll wake you when we get there."
Zhu Qianying let out a lazy "Oh..." sound, and judging from her tone, she was almost asleep.
Yan Shao patted her back, looked at her for a while, then turned to look out the window, pondering what Zhu Qianying had just said.
In chronological order, Chen Jing's parents were forced to move away before his wedding with Zhu Qianying, and then came the kidnapping of Yi Wei and the approval of the Zhu family's loan.
It's not hard to see that Zhu Junwei was also behind this incident involving Chen Jing's family.
Other members of the Zhu family, putting aside whether they had the guts to be thieves, the key issue is that they didn't have the intelligence.
Just how many unknown shady dealings has Zhu Junwei been up to behind the scenes?
Another point is also strange. Although Zhu Junwei is the grandson of Old Master Zhu, he is still an outsider. In the Zhu family, an old family where traditional ideas prevail, Zhu Junwei should not be so favored.
Moreover, the Zhu family had indeed been tidying up Zhu Junwei's material stalls time and time again during this period. This kind of obedient and docile behavior was really strange.
Could it be that Zhu Junwei has some shady evidence against the Zhu family, which is why the Zhu family is willing to do anything to help Zhu Junwei?
The people we sent out always ran out of clues after investigating a certain place. Could it be that the key is actually in this problem?
Yan Shao had an idea in mind, so he took out his phone to talk to Ke Kai. He raised his finger but stopped before it even touched the button.
So, Ke Kai, in Tongjia Village, received a very long WeChat message from his grandfather, which was quite unusual. The content of the message surprised him, but it was not as surprising as the fact that his grandfather was using WeChat to discuss work.
Because my grandfather used to disdain using these kinds of communication software. He always said, "If there's anything, just make a phone call. It can be explained in a few seconds. Why waste time typing?"
But now, not only does he use Weibo to interact and show affection with his boss's wife, but he has also started using WeChat, which he used to despise. It seems that his boss's wife's influence on him is not to be underestimated.
