"Didn't have dinner again?"
The person speaking was none other than her nominal husband, Young Master Yan.
Zhu Qianying reluctantly turned her head and glared at him. "What's it to you?"
Young Master Yan walked over and gently, yet in a rather ambiguous way, touched her face. "What if you get thin from hunger? I'll be heartbroken!"
Zhu Qianying almost threw up the snacks she had just eaten, and slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me!"
Young Master Yan leaned close to her ear and said in a voice only they could hear, "Stop fooling around, there are so many people watching!"
Zhu Qianying glanced at the party venue subconsciously. Whether it was due to his misleading influence or was genuine, there were indeed quite a few people behind her casting curious glances in her direction.
What are you doing here?
Zhu Qianying pushed his face away in annoyance. He was too close, and his hot breath was blowing on her ear, which was very uncomfortable!
"I've come to see for myself, and I'll bring my wife along too!"
Young Master Yan straightened up and looked at her with great interest.
Sure enough, this man was still as petty, narrow-minded, and narrow-minded as ever!
Ninety-nine percent of the people here know that Cheng Ye and he are just employee and boss. Why would he be so serious and go out of his way to build a relationship to come and join in the fun?
Young Master Yan's subsequent words and actions further confirmed that Zhu Qianying's accusations of him being petty and narrow-minded were entirely correct!
"Have some more. After you finish eating, I'll introduce you to some friends."
Zhu Qianying lowered her eyes and focused intently on the pastries on the plate. "No, I need to fill my stomach."
Surprisingly, Young Master Yan wasn't annoyed. He raised his hand and patted her head gently.
"Honey, it'll be good for you to get to know them. These friends of mine are all very wealthy and influential businessmen in M country. Many of the items up for auction tonight are from their donated collections. They have plenty of those little things you like. If you're interested, I can take you to their homes another day to broaden your horizons."
Young Master Yan's words undoubtedly held a fatal allure for Zhu Qianying.
Seeing Zhu Qianying's eyes light up, Young Master Yan knew he had finally figured things out. He was secretly pleased with himself and took the initiative to fetch an extra snack from the front table, which he then thoughtfully served to her.
"Hey, eat this too. After that, I'll take you to meet them. Anyway, you're almost done with your work. Once you're done, I'll take you to visit them."
Although Zhu Qianying was half-believing and half-doubting, she couldn't resist the sight of the bright and colorful little treasures that Young Master Yan had described. So she quickened her pace and soon finished eating the snacks that Young Master Yan was holding.
After she finished eating, Young Master Yan handed her a hot towel he had just gotten from the waiter. His thoughtfulness and gentleness were comparable to those seasoned Casanovas who had spent years chasing after women!
"Uncle Yan..."
As Zhu Qianying wiped her hands, she glanced sideways at the handsome man standing casually beside her.
"Hmm?" Young Master Yan stared intently at her.
"When did you become so good at pleasing women?"
Zhu Qianying really wanted to say that Miss Yi's training techniques were quite impressive. In just five years, she transformed the arrogant and conceited Young Master Yan into a loyal dog; her training skills were truly remarkable!
"What does it mean to please a woman? Isn't it only natural for a man to be good to his wife?"
Young Master Yan was not satisfied with Zhu Qianying's statement. "Begging" always belonged to the humble side.
"Right" means giving to one party!
Uncle Yan is kind to people because he wants to give, not because he humbly gives and begs for an equal response in order to receive something in return.
How could Zhu Qianying not understand the struggles and insistence of this arrogant old man, Yan? Too lazy to argue with him, she wiped her hands clean and was about to leave the dark corner.
Yan Shao grabbed her hand and placed it in the crook of his arm. The two of them walked arm in arm out of the dark corner and into the banquet hall.
Cheng Ye, who was chatting with his friend, noticed the commotion around him and looked toward the source of the disturbance.
Upon seeing Zhu Qianying walking over with Yan Han by the arm, Cheng Ye's expression changed slightly.
His friends were generally aware of his relationship with Zhu Qianying. However, almost none of them knew Yan Han personally, but they knew he had come in with Mr. Lei, and therefore regarded him as a distinguished guest.
However, everyone was a little confused about the relationship between Mr. Lei, this VIP, and Cheng Ye, the designer.
"Cheng, Zhu-Ying and that gentleman... seem quite familiar with each other! Are they a new customer at your shop?"
Typically, if a major client requests a jewelry store to design jewelry, the designer does need to communicate and exchange ideas with the client, and normal social interactions are unavoidable.
Cheng Ye, who could have easily brushed it off, pursed his lips and remained silent, his gaze fixed on their hands that were entangled together.
"Cheng, is there still no progress between you and Zhu-Ying?"
One of the people he was on slightly better terms with mustered up the courage to come closer and ask him in a low voice.
Before Cheng Ye could answer, Yan Han had already walked over with Zhu Qianying by his arm.
"Mr. Cheng, hello! We meet again!"
Yan Han extended his hand to Cheng Ye, his attitude friendly and cordial.
With so many people around, Cheng Ye naturally couldn't refuse, so he extended his hand and shook hands with him.
"Yes, I didn't expect to run into Mr. Yan here."
Yan Han withdrew his hand, smiled and nodded at the people next to Cheng Ye, and then said to Cheng Ye.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for taking care of and supporting my wife. Her achievements today are largely thanks to you!"
Upon hearing Yan Han's words, not only did Cheng Ye's expression turn sour, but the others around him also exchanged bewildered glances.
Confused, everyone turned to Zhu Qianying with questioning looks.
One of the people who was familiar with Zhu Qianying asked, "Zhu-Ying, who is this?"
Zhu Qianying did not expect that Yan Han's first action after pulling her out was to provoke Cheng Ye.
She cursed him inwardly for being childish, but had no choice but to play along.
"Oh, this is my husband, Yan Han!"
The expressions on those people's faces became even more interesting, and they were all awkward for a while before the man who had asked the question finally realized what was going on.
"Yan Han? Could it be Yan Han, the reclusive tycoon in China who is on par with the richest man in the country?"
Zhu Qianying didn't want to answer such blatant flattery.
Yan Han seemed to have seen through Zhu Qianying's thoughts, and took out his business card and handed it to everyone.
"I suppose the Yan Han you mentioned is me, but the title of 'hidden tycoon' is an exaggeration!"
Yan Han humbly exchanged business cards with everyone, making polite remarks.
