Zhu Qianying finally remembered what happened that night. Even though she and Yan Shao hadn't actually done anything substantial except for kissing and hugging, it was enough to make her so frustrated that she wanted to dig a huge pit and bury herself!
She never knew that when she was drunk, she would become so "docile and charming," actually letting Young Master Yan kiss and hug her without any resistance.
That kind of thing is really embarrassing.
Unable to face herself in that way, Zhu Qianying refused the suggestion to go with Old Madam Yan after breakfast, citing that she was too busy with work and had to stay home to work overtime.
The Yan family members didn't want to force the issue, so the four of them, spanning three generations, returned to Tongjia Village. Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing stayed at the Yan family home, each busy with their own affairs.
At noon, the mother and daughter were eating in the dining room. Chen Jing mentioned that Old Madam Yan had invited her to return to the Yan family home in Beijing. Zhu Qianying's headache, which had just subsided, started to flare up again.
"Mom, you can go if you want, don't ask me!"
Zhu Qianying couldn't help but think of giving up. Since many things were beyond her control, she might as well just ignore them and let them develop freely!
Chen Jing naturally noticed her daughter's absent-mindedness, so she stopped mentioning the trip to the capital and instead asked with concern, "Ying'er, what about you and Young Master Yan..."
Although Chen Jing had come to terms with it and would no longer interfere in her daughter's relationship with Yan Shao, she still wanted to know what her daughter's current thoughts were about Yan Shao.
Or rather, what's the current state of things between the two of them?
Should we completely rebuild it, or try starting from scratch?
"Mom, there's nothing between him and me. Don't overthink it. I was just drunk last night and don't remember anything."
Whenever Zhu Qianying recalled what happened at the wooden house, she thought about just banging her head against the wall.
They say drinking is bad, and they're absolutely right!
Chen Jing gave her daughter a deep look and said nothing more.
The next day, which was the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Qianying and her two children, who originally planned to visit the Ji family in R City, changed their plans due to safety concerns and had the Ji family come from R City to visit the Yan family instead.
When Madam Yan learned that Xiaoyu was pregnant, she was very envious. She secretly pulled her son aside and whispered, "Son, work hard and try to give your old mother a little granddaughter by the end of the year."
Yan Shao glanced at Zhu Qianying, who hadn't paid much attention to him these past two days, and nodded with a smile, "Mom, I'll do my best!"
The reason why Young Master Yan was so confident was, of course, because Zhu Qianying was ignoring him!
Young Master Yan is indeed a strange person. If it were anyone else, they would be sad if the person they like ignored them, but he just felt happy.
Young Master Yan's logic was that she must have something to hide, otherwise, someone as carefree as her wouldn't care about such a small accident after getting drunk.
Think back to that time in the US, when the two almost went too far, she didn't react this strongly.
Perhaps because I didn't care at the time, I was able to treat it as an accident between adults.
Now, because I care about it, I can't get over it.
It must be said that Yan Shao's analysis makes some sense.
Right now, Zhu Qianying's heart is indeed in turmoil!
Even when she was with her younger sister, she seemed a little absent-minded.
Zhu Qianyu also noticed that her sister was not in good spirits and thought that it was because her sister felt awkward living at the Yan family's house.
"Sister, is it inconvenient for you and Mom to live here? Why don't you come stay with us for a while?"
The news that the Zhu and Yi families had offended Young Master Yan has spread far and wide, and everyone, whether they should or shouldn't know, knows it.
Therefore, the safety of Zhu Qianying and her two children was a concern not only for Zhu Qianyu but also for the Ji family. On the way there, Le Tong specifically instructed Zhu Qianyu that if needed, they could bring Zhu Qianying and her two children to stay at the Ji family's house for a while.
However, Zhu Qianying did not want to involve her younger sister and the Ji family in this matter.
"Xiaoyu, this shouldn't take too long. Just focus on your pregnancy and stop worrying about me and Mom. There's still Young Master Yan, isn't there?"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her sister, Zhu Qianyu had no choice but to try to persuade Zizai instead.
"Zizai, how about coming home with your aunt tonight? Tomorrow you can go to the amusement park with Brother Beibei and Sister Guoguo!"
In the past, this kind of bait would usually lure Zizai over, but now, the little guy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "But I made an appointment to play with Uncle Ke Kai tomorrow!"
Yesterday, when we returned to Tongjia Village, Yan Shao took the little guy to Tongjia's training ground for a walk.
The little guy immediately fell in love with the place and kept asking to go learn judo and shooting from Uncle Ke Kai the next day. Little did he know that when it came to these things, his father, Young Master Yan, was the most skilled in the entire Tongjia Village!
Zhu Qianyu's plan to abduct her young nephew failed, leaving her somewhat disappointed. She turned to Ji Huan to complain.
Young Master Ji said, "Zizai is Young Master Yan's son. Whether from the perspective of responsibility or face, he would never allow Zizai to seek refuge in our house."
Zhu Qianyu understood this principle, of course, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her sister.
"My sister has worked so hard to raise Zizai, but now she's being held back by Yan Shao because of him. I'm really worried that she'll soften her heart for Zizai's sake."
There are far too many women who force themselves to endure a painful marriage for the sake of their children, and Zhu Qianyu does not want her sister to become one of them.
Ji Huan ruffled her soft, short hair. "Silly girl, that's your sister. She wouldn't do that! Trust me! Trust her too!"
To be honest, there aren't many women that Ji Huan can appreciate, and Zhu Qianying is one of them.
Don't demean yourself for unrequited love, and don't waste your youth on unworthy men.
Such a woman, who remains clear-headed about both emotions and matters, would naturally not force herself to accept a flawed marriage and a person she doesn't love, just because of her child.
If one day Zhu Qianying says she wants to get back together with Yan Shao, Ji Huan believes it will be because of love, and not for any other reason.
After listening to Ji Huan's analysis, Zhu Qianyu felt a little more at ease.
After lunch, Zizai took Beibei and Guoguo to play with Xingxing outside in the yard, while Yanbo and his wife invited Ji Rui and his wife and Chen Jing to sit on the terrace outside to enjoy tea and watch the three children and a small dog playing. The three young couples sat in the living room chatting.
A similar situation occurred five years ago, but at that time, Beibei Guoguo was still very young, and Zizai was not yet born.
Five years later, the three young men sat together in the living room again, but this time they weren't talking about work; instead, they were discussing parenting.
