Yan Shao's gaze lingered on the mother and son for a long while before he finally looked away.
Hopefully, this is not just an appearance.
Ke Kai wasn't a father yet, and even though he knew his grandfather and Zhu Qianying were very anxious, he couldn't understand their feelings.
As the father of two children, Qin Xiu's views differed from Ke Kai's.
“Kai, you don’t know, kids are sometimes better at lying than adults, and they can even start to believe their own lies.”
After thinking for a moment, Ke Kai finally understood what Qin Xiu meant.
"Master, why don't you take Shadow and Zizai out for a few days? Maybe it will help Zizai's recovery."
Ke Kai's suggestion was approved by Qin Xiu.
“Sir, Kai is right. Kai and I can handle things here. You and Shadow should take Zizai out for a walk to clear his head.”
Even though the two of them were trying to persuade him in unison, Yan Shao stubbornly shook his head, "No, it's not the right time yet."
Before the mastermind behind this has been caught, how can Young Master Yan relax and go out for a walk?
Furthermore, going out for a walk will undoubtedly give the other party more opportunities to make a move.
Qin Xiu and Ke Kai then decided it was best not to try to persuade them further.
"Kai, how's the situation with the Zhu family?"
In fact, Yan Shao had always suspected that Zhu Junwei was behind Zizai's affair.
However, during this period, he had arranged for people to closely monitor the Zhu brothers. Apart from the farce that caused trouble for Zhu Zhizhou, the Zhu brothers have been quite well-behaved recently.
"It's still the same. Zhu Junwei takes on the big tasks, while Zhu Haoming takes on the hard but unrewarding ones. Moreover, Zhu Junwei seems to have temporarily abandoned his plan to expand his territory and has been carrying out internal reorganization lately."
Ke Kai reported in detail all the information he had recently gathered.
"Has he met with anyone special lately?"
Yan Shao had clashed with Zhu Junwei several times. Although he seemed to win every time, he still dared not underestimate Zhu Junwei.
"Not for now..."
"Keep a close eye on him. Also, doesn't he have a girlfriend?"
Yan Shao had always been puzzled: apart from Zhu Junwei, all four of the Zhu family's sons seemed to have girlfriends or wives.
Of course, after the eldest brother, Zhu Junzhao, went to prison, his former fiancée promptly dumped him.
"Yes, I've never heard any related rumors. And although people don't think much of his character, it seems there are no rumors of him being promiscuous in matters of love and sex."
Ke Kai's words made Yan Shao fall into deep thought.
After Qin Xiu and Ke Kai finished reporting their work, Yan Shao took out his phone and made an international call.
"Brother Lei, I'm sorry to bother you."
That's right, he made this call to Brother Lei, who was far away in the United States and was Zai Zai's godfather.
"Xiao Yan, when did you start needing to be so polite with me? Is something wrong? Or are we just chatting?"
Lei Ge was an extremely straightforward person; he immediately asked about the purpose of the visit.
"Brother Lei, could you please help me find someone?"
"Okay..."
...
Zhu Qianying led Zizai home by the hand. Seeing that the study door was tightly closed, she patted Zizai's head and asked him, "Baby, do you want to watch TV in the living room by yourself, or come to the kitchen to help Mommy make dinner?"
For the past two or three days, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao have been hesitant to leave Zizai alone. Of course, it's not because of safety concerns, but because they are worried about the little guy's mental state.
Although the little guy had been very calm for the past two or three nights and slept soundly, both Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao felt that it was because of their close companionship that he felt particularly at ease and calm.
"Mommy, let me help you..."
By noon, Zhu Qianying had almost finished preparing the ingredients for dinner. So, in about half an hour in the kitchen, she had prepared four dishes and a soup, including both meat and vegetables.
From that day on, Zizai started eating solid food, but the meat was still mainly fish and minced meat. Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao naturally had to accommodate the little guy, and the dishes were all made according to his taste.
The little guy's main help was peeling a few cucumbers and carrots to accompany the dishes, but he had a lot of fun doing it.
Because Zhu Qianying specially bought a set of knives for children to use in cooking, which can cut out simple flower or animal patterns.
So when Yan Shao finished his work and came out for dinner, he found that today's dishes were full of childlike fun. The plates were decorated with green leaves, orange butterflies, and small green and orange fish.
Wow, which master is so amazing?
Since Zizai came back, Yan Shao, this grown man, has occasionally let out childlike exclamations like Zizai.
"Of course it's me and Mommy! Mommy is the chef, and I'm the little helper! Look, these leaves, butterflies, and little fish are all my masterpieces, aren't they amazing!?"
The little guy looked so smug that Yan Shao couldn't resist leaning over and giving him a little nibble on the cheek.
Compared to the leaves, butterflies, and little fish on the table, he would much rather take a big bite of his precious son.
Zhu Qianying brought in the soup and saw Grandpa Yan holding his son tightly, unwilling to let go. She couldn't help but tease him, "Grandpa, do you still want to eat?"
Grandpa Yan then let go of his son and nodded vigorously at her, "Of course I want to eat! My wife's cooking is so delicious, how could I not?"
The little guy was quite the flatterer; he quickly opened his little hands and slapped the table hard, mimicking Young Master Yan's tone as he spoke.
"Of course I want to eat! Mommy's cooking is so delicious, how could I not?"
Zhu Qianying smiled and gave the father and son a sidelong glance before putting down the soup and sitting down.
Yan Shao picked up the bowl, and the little guy quickly leaned over the table and used a spoon to scoop the soup onto the bowl that Yan Shao was holding.
The father and son worked seamlessly together, filling the bowl to about eight-tenths full.
"My dear wife, please have some soup." Young Master Yan fawned over Zhu Qianying and placed the soup in front of her.
The little guy who looked exactly like him but was several sizes smaller also turned to look at her with a spoon in hand, and said with a smile, "Mommy, please have some soup!"
Zhu Qianying smiled as she picked up her bowl, glancing at the father and son. "When did two parrots fly into my house?"
Young Master Yan calmly handed the bowl in front of him to Zizai, but his eyes were on Zhu Qianying. "Master, aren't you curious about what breed this excellent parrot is?"
His narcissism amused Zhu Qianying so much that she spat out the soup she had just drunk.
Fortunately, she turned her face to the other side just in time when she was spraying, otherwise, all four dishes and one soup for tonight would have been ruined.
"Look how happy you are! Master, we're all in now, no returns allowed, please treat us well!" Young Master Yan seemed to be having a great time, grabbing a tissue to wipe her mouth while teasing her.
