Zhu Qianying was preoccupied with the two scarves and didn't want to annoy him, so she obediently turned around and sat down next to him.
Yan Shao asked her to sit down, but didn't say anything. He picked up his chopsticks and slurped down his noodles. It seemed he just wanted someone to keep him company.
He didn't speak, but Zhu Qianying didn't care much because she was thinking about how to ask Young Master Yan for the two scarves back.
After waiting for him to finish eating, Zhu Qianying opened the drawer under the coffee table and, as she expected, found a stack of packaged wet towels inside.
She eagerly took out two packets, tore them open, and handed them to him with a smile.
"Young Master Yan, may I ask you for a gift?"
Yan Shao took the towel without any hesitation, slowly wiped his mouth, and tilted his head to look at her, "What gift?"
As she spoke, she looked away, lowered her eyes, and carefully wiped her palms and the backs of her hands with a different towel.
Zhu Qianying glanced at the beautiful, clean hairline below his ear, bit her lip, and mustered up the courage to speak.
"Two scarves!"
Yan Shao frowned and looked over, a puzzled expression on his face. "A scarf?"
"Yes, those two handmade brocade scarves you hung on the very outside of your walk-in closet, one blue and yellow and the other black and white!"
In Zhu Qianying's opinion, Young Master Yan was not a stingy person, so as long as she was willing to ask, he would definitely agree.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shao's expression changed slightly upon hearing the last part, and he decisively gave her a negative answer.
"no!"
"Huh?!" Because she was so certain, Zhu Qianying was a little taken aback when she heard his resolute refusal.
"Go to sleep, I still have some things to do."
Yan Shao's words revealed no emotion, but his face was even colder than when Zhu Qianying entered.
He finished speaking perfunctorily to Zhu Qianying without explaining why it wouldn't work, then stood up and strode back to his desk.
Zhu Qianying was stunned for a while before she realized that her request had been rejected.
But she was really unwilling to accept it!
Because it's really hard to find similar handmade brocade scarves on the market with such exquisite craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Most importantly, these are two scarves, a couple's set!
"No... Young Master Yan, I can give you the money!" Zhu Qianying thought that the two brocade scarves were too expensive and he was reluctant to spend the money.
"You can't afford it!" Yan Shao's deep voice startled Zhu Qianying.
Because his voice was like a knife, causing a dull pain on her face.
"Young Master Yan..." Zhu Qianying wanted to say something to persuade him, but suddenly a dark shadow flew straight towards her with a "whoosh".
As the shadowy figure approached, a low growl came from the man behind the desk, "Get out!"
Fortunately, Zhu Qianying reacted quickly, dodging the sneak attack from the shadowy figure. She looked up and glanced at the man behind the desk with a puzzled expression.
The man, however, seemed to treat her as if she were invisible, burying himself in the pile of documents, as if the scattered papers and the low growl from earlier were not his doing.
Zhu Qianying glanced at the papers scattered on the ground, bent down, picked up the tray, and turned to leave.
As she went downstairs, she vaguely understood that the reason he wouldn't give her the two scarves wasn't because they were expensive, but because they held special meaning for her!
After figuring it out, Zhu Qianying shook her head and stopped investigating.
Who doesn't have a past they'd rather not revisit? I was just too tactless, touching a raw nerve without realizing it, and arrogantly saying I could buy it back with money.
Doesn't she know better than anyone else that many things cannot be bought with money?
I made a late-night snack with good intentions to please someone, but it ended up being a sour ending.
Zhu Qianying was quite helpless, and could only secretly warn herself that in the future, she should not only refrain from mentioning those two scarves, but also avoid mentioning the word "scarf" in front of Young Master Yan.
Zhu Qianying returned to her bedroom listlessly, took another shower, and went to bed.
As for when that cold-faced young master came back to sleep, Zhu Qianying had no idea. In fact, she wasn't even sure if he had come back to sleep at all.
Because when she woke up the next morning, there was no one on the other side of the bed.
Moreover, the blankets and pillows were neatly arranged; it was unclear whether they hadn't been touched all night or if he had gotten up early and made the bed.
Zhu Qianying got up and walked around the bedroom. After confirming that she couldn't find Yan Shao's shadow, she opened the dressing room door and looked at the place where she had found the scarves yesterday. However, she found that the two scarves were gone!
This further confirmed Zhu Qianying's suspicions from last night.
However, she wasn't very interested in Young Master Yan's past, so she didn't have the desire or curiosity to explore it further.
After washing up and going downstairs, it was already past seven o'clock. As usual, Young Master Yan had already left.
Just as she finished breakfast and was considering whether to go out for a walk, Qin Xiu suddenly arrived.
"Assistant Qin, shouldn't you be at Yanhuang at this time?" Zhu Qianying was surprised to see Qin Xiu.
Qin Xiu said, "Didn't you want to look at houses? I have a few suitable ones here. I'll take you to see them now."
Zhu Qianying wasn't actually in such a hurry. Young Master Yan was very busy lately, and she didn't want to steal his most capable assistant over such a trivial matter.
"Go ahead and do your thing, I'm not in a hurry," Zhu Qianying said understandingly.
"You're not in a hurry, but I am!" Qin Xiu's expression clearly told Zhu Qianying how he had suffered so much at the hands of his boss early that morning.
Zhu Qianying raised an eyebrow. What was this? Was this an apology for being harsh with her last night?
Or is it that since you can't give her the scarf, you want to give her a house instead?
To confirm her suspicions, Zhu Qianying didn't rush to send Qin Xiu away. Instead, she got up, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him.
"Assistant Qin, you said last night you could give my mom an employee discount. What exactly is the price per square meter?"
"Didn't the master tell you?" Qin Xiu looked at her in surprise.
Zhu Qianying feigned surprise, "Huh? No, what did he say?"
In fact, Yan Shao hadn't said anything to her about the house.
"He said he'd give you a house~ Mom, you two go take a look first, and choose whichever one you like, or if you like several of them, he'll give them all to you, that's what he said!"
Just as I expected!
This young master Yan is truly exceptionally generous!
This area is the most expensive part of L City, where even a 100-square-meter apartment costs at least several million yuan.
How many sets?
That's twenty or thirty million!
Is it really worth it for those two scarves?
Zhu Qianying felt no joy at Young Master Yan's act of offering so much blood as a form of comfort; instead, she felt only a slight discomfort...
