But thinking about it later, I realized that those shares were, as I had said at the time, intended as Xiaoyu's dowry, so the right to dispose of them should belong to my mother, not her.
Now, she actually regrets it a bit. She should have sold those shares back then; at least she could have made a fortune that way.
Instead of watching helplessly as Mingxuan's stock price plummeted from the top of the Himalayas to the bottom, as it is now.
"Young Master Yan, don't you still hold shares in Mingxuan Group? If Mingxuan collapses, those shares will probably become worthless!"
Zhu Qianying asked this question because she wanted to test Yan Shao's bottom line in dealing with Mingxuan.
Is the plan to completely crush Mingxuan until he has no chance of recovery? Or is it just to teach Mingxuan a lesson?
Young Master Yan was amused by her question. "Ying'er, don't worry, Mingxuan Group won't collapse. At most, it will just change hands!"
If Zhu Qianying nods, the change of ownership is just a matter of minutes. However, Zhu Qianying doesn't seem to have that ambition or idea.
That's good, so she won't be so busy that she can't even take care of herself.
Recalling how she had fallen ill from working overtime the last time, Yan Shao couldn't help but feel fortunate that she didn't have that kind of ambition or desire.
Of course, it's not that he can't accept his wife becoming a career woman; in his own family, his mother is a typical career woman.
He simply didn't want to see Zhu Qianying exhaust herself for work and career anymore!
Zhu Qianying pretended not to understand the implication in his words and simply nodded, saying, "That's right. The name Mingxuan has a history of at least a hundred years. There must be quite a few people who want to buy this gold-lacquered signboard."
Hearing her say that, Yan Shao understood what she meant. Actually, why would he need to test her? Knowing her personality, she wouldn't want to touch anything that wasn't hers.
Zhu Qianying certainly had her own considerations.
They are currently in an awkward phase. If she accepts his proposal to change ownership at this time, both she and Yan Shao will subconsciously confuse this relationship with their previous transactional relationship.
She decided to think it over carefully, wanting to start a pure relationship completely unrelated to the past, rather than a complicated relationship tainted by too much money and interests.
As the two chatted, they unknowingly arrived at the villa that Yan Shao had mentioned was going to be transferred to Zizai's name.
After entering the house, Zhu Qianying bent down to change her shoes. Suddenly, Yan Shao said to the back of her head, "Ying'er, don't worry, I won't let those 100 million yuan worth of stocks you bought become worthless!"
Zhu Qianying had no time to worry about those things; she was only concerned about the five percent of shares she held.
As for what Young Master Yan had, she had already assumed in her heart that it was Young Master Yan's property after she signed the transfer agreement five years ago, and that it had nothing to do with her anymore.
“If you don’t want those shares, transfer them to Zizai’s name.”
But in that instant, Zhu Qianying suddenly had a change of heart and finally expressed her opinion on where those shares would go.
Since he doesn't care about those shares, and she doesn't want to get too entangled with the past, why not just treat them as Zai Zai's property?
This is the most acceptable outcome for both him and her.
Yan Shao was secretly delighted; she was finally willing to take the initiative to talk to him about the shares.
Yan Shao had considered her suggestion, but he had been trying to use those shares as bait to try and win her back.
As it turns out, the money offensive has absolutely no effect on her now.
Moreover, those shares constantly reminded him of his shameful past of betraying and hurting her.
"Well, it's good that it's been transferred. Anyway, Mingxuan's stock price is almost at its bottom. I'll have people buy some every now and then. That way, Zizai might become Mingxuan's largest shareholder in the future," Yan Shao said, half-jokingly.
Zhu Qianying knew that Young Master Yan didn't care about those shares, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily. Before she could reply, she heard him say something else.
"Come back to Yanhuang with me on Monday, get a lawyer with you, and get the transfer agreement signed."
Zhu Qianying didn't react for a moment. "Why do I have to go with you? Why don't you just sign that transfer agreement and then draft another one where you transfer the rights to Zizai?"
Yan Shao assumed that Zhu Qianying was either drunk or pretending to be stupid.
"Ying'er, have you forgotten that we are husband and wife? Whether we sign the transfer agreement or not is meaningless. Those shares are still our joint property during our marriage."
Zhu Qianying then realized what was happening and felt slightly embarrassed.
Her brain seems to be going on strike more and more frequently lately.
Could it be because of that half-glass of wine?
Or perhaps it's because it's too late and I'm tired, so my brain isn't working properly?
Or perhaps it's because I've been too idle lately, and recuperating has made my brain rusty?
“Okay, we’ll stay until Monday, drop Zizai off at school early in the morning, and then go to Yanhuang to sign the transfer agreement.”
After making this decision, the two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Neither Zhu Qianying nor Yan Shao wanted to drag that painful past into the present, so transferring the shares to Zizai's name was a way to put an end to it.
Having resolved a major concern, Yan Shao was in a very good mood and carried his son upstairs with ease.
He hesitated for a moment in the corridor, then finally turned to ask Zhu Qianying.
"Does Zizai want to sleep with you or with me?"
"Sleep with me!"
When Zizai was in the US, he had already started sleeping in separate rooms from Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing.
But after returning to China, the little one suddenly became very clingy again, often sneaking off to sleep on Zhu Qianying's bed.
Even in the apartment, he would often fall asleep and end up on Zhu Qianying's bed. Once, when Zhu Qianying locked the door, he pounded on it pitifully from the outside, breaking Zhu Qianying's heart.
Since that incident, whenever Zizai stays at the apartment, Zhu Qianying's bedroom door is never locked; she simply closes it casually.
Zhu Qianying felt that it was probably the matter of sending him back that made him feel extremely insecure.
No matter how brave he was during the day, at night, especially when he was half asleep, he would subconsciously want to find her and Chen Jing.
Yan Shao had no objection and followed Zhu Qianying into her bedroom.
The bed in the bedroom has been made, and Zhu Qianying and Zizai's luggage has been neatly stored in the walk-in closet.
"Why don't you go take a shower next door? I'll shower here with Zizai!"
The little guy played all day and was covered in dirt.
Even though the weather was still quite cool, he spent all day running around with Qin Xiu's two children, sweating profusely.
Yan Shao had been holding him the whole time, and he could smell the sweat on his body.
