"No, I know the owner of this shop! I had him send someone over. I wasn't sure what your taste was, so I had him prepare a variety of things."
Young Master Yan was honest; he could have taken the opportunity to play the victim and gain some sympathy, thus earning more goodwill.
But he honestly revealed his status as someone with connections, wasting a great opportunity to move people.
Fortunately, he was honest; otherwise, even if he had told a story about standing in line for hours on the street just to buy this big box of beef jerky, Zhu Qianying wouldn't have believed him.
"Thank you, I like them all!"
Even though others have to wait for hours, Yan Shao can easily buy these things with just a phone call. But for a man like Yan Shao to care about such a small matter is already a huge deal.
Therefore, Zhu Qianying's gratitude was genuine and sincere.
After handing the beef jerky to Zhu Qianying, Yan Shao didn't seem to intend to leave immediately. He casually put his hands in his casual pants pockets and peeked inside a few times.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Thus, Zhu Qianying had no choice but to step aside and let him in.
She trusted Yan Shao's character, and the dangerous things that might happen when a man and a woman are alone in a room together would basically not happen to him.
However, she remained wary of Yan Shao. To Zhu Qianying, someone who attacks the mind is more terrifying than someone who attacks the body.
"No, I'm just packing a little. I have a lot of things there, so there's no need to bring them over."
When Zhu Qianying returned from the United States, she only brought back essential items such as her ID card and a few simple pieces of luggage. Naturally, she didn't need to make too many preparations for this trip back.
After Yan Shao entered the room, he naturally followed her to the wardrobe.
Zhu Qianying said she didn't need his help, so he dragged over a chair and sat down, then watched her casually put some necessities into her suitcase.
"Is your residence in Country M rented or owned?"
Yan Shao had never inquired about this matter before, and it was only now that he remembered it.
"I bought it, paid the down payment and have been paying it off little by little."
Given the current situation, there's no need to hide this anymore.
She was determined to leave this place of heartbreak and live a peaceful life in M. A stable home was very important to her.
Perhaps it was because she had lived in the Zhu family since she was a child and always had a sense of insecurity about being dependent on others, that she was somewhat resistant to renting a house, especially after she found out she was pregnant, she felt even more that she should buy a house.
Yan Shao was a little surprised. He thought that with her and Chen Jing's income, buying an apartment in the United States would be more than enough.
"You just bought a house, and if you're short on cash, you can borrow from me." Young Master Yan dared not say anything like "I'll pay for you" to Zhu Qianying now.
Zhu Qianying did not directly refuse his kindness, "I don't need it for the time being. The house in the United States is basically supported by the annual dividends from Ying Jewelry, so there is no pressure."
Yan Shao felt a tightness in his chest and stared at the back of her head with a bitter expression.
"Cheng Ye treats you quite well!"
Zhu Qianying turned her head and glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, all of that is what I deserve!"
Zhu Qianying believed that every penny she had received from Cheng Ye over the years was earned through her own labor, and there was no personal relationship involved.
Yan Shao was given a cold shoulder, but the pent-up anger in his heart unexpectedly dissipated.
The fact that his cold-hearted wife and son were not being cared for by another man brought him immense comfort.
He admitted that he was a petty man when it came to these kinds of things.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
Fearing that Zhu Qianying would really be angry, Yan Shao quickly apologized.
Zhu Qianying was too lazy to argue with him and turned around to continue packing her luggage.
When will you be back?
Even before she left, he could already foresee the agony of separation, and therefore longed to hear a definite return date from her.
Although, his current relationship with her is not one in which he can demand such a commitment.
"I'm not sure. It could take anywhere from ten days to half a month or a month."
Zhu Qianying didn't think much of it. It was perfectly normal for him to ask about his son's return date since his son needed to be taken care of by him.
"How about I bring Zizai to see you then?"
Zhu Qianying assumed the man had lost his mind and was just saying whatever came to mind, so she didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
"Save your breath. I'm going to work, not sightseeing. Even if you come, I won't have time to spend with you. Besides, you have to go to work, and Zizai has to go to school."
Yan Shao really wanted to say that he could take his class anywhere, as long as there was internet access.
As for my son, the main purpose of sending him to school is to give him the opportunity to meet more peers, so that he can learn how to get along with others and have more fun in his childhood.
In terms of cultural knowledge, Yan Shao admitted that Zhu Qianying had really put a lot of effort into the little guy over the past few years.
This can be clearly seen from the types of books the little guy reads and the amount he consumes in his study.
"I'm afraid that Zai Zai will miss you!"
Actually, she was afraid that he would miss her!
Zhu Qianying chuckled, "Young Master Yan, don't worry, Zizai is very sensible!"
For other children, such unreasonable demands and harassment to prevent their parents from working might be a very common occurrence.
But for Vic Zhou, such an ordinary thing becomes virtually impossible.
Yan Shao let out a long sigh, it was unclear whether he was sighing or lamenting.
"You've really raised Zizai very well. Thank you for all these years!"
This wasn't the first time Yan Shao had said something similar, but every time he did, he felt an urge to pull the slender body in front of him into his arms and comfort and cherish it.
But he could only suppress this impulse time and time again.
Because he knew she didn't need it!
At least for now, she doesn't need it.
He missed the opportunity when she needed care and protection. Now, she has grown into a person who can stand on her own and is more independent and strong than many men. His support and care have become dispensable.
"Yan Han, you don't need to feel guilty towards me for bringing Zizai back or for giving him the surname Yan. I'm good to Zizai because he's my son, not because of you!"
Compared to financial debts, emotional debts are far more burdensome and difficult to bear.
Therefore, Zhu Qianying doesn't need to feel indebted to Yan Shao, no matter what kind of emotional debt he has.
Zizai is her son. Her feelings for him are purely a mother's maternal instinct for her child, and absolutely have nothing to do with Yanhan.
