Not wanting to wake Zizai, Zhu Qianying asked Yan Shao to stay in the car with Zizai while she, accompanied by the driver, went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of food and supplies. After getting in the car, neither the driver nor Yan Shao asked Zhu Qianying for the specific address, but they accurately drove the car to the front of the residence.
Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.
"You've been here before?" Zhu Qianying asked, staring at Yan Shao.
Yan Shao nodded. By now, he felt there was nothing left to hide.
"I'll tell you in a bit!"
Afraid of waking his son, Yan Shao whispered his instructions to Zhu Qianying, then carefully picked up his son, who was still sleeping soundly in his arms, and got out of the car, following Zhu Qianying into the courtyard.
Although the yard is not large, the flowers and plants inside are clearly well taken care of. Even though no one has looked after it for more than a month, under the lamplight, you can still see many flowers in full bloom.
"Did you plant all the flowers?"
A sweet, cloying fragrance filled the air. Yan Shao took a deep breath and immediately felt much more refreshed.
"Not entirely. Some were planted by my mom, and some were planted by me and Zizai together."
The two chatted quietly and before they knew it, they had arrived at the front of the house. They opened the door, and Zhu Qianying went in first and opened all the windows to let in some fresh air.
"You hold Zizai and sit for a while, I'll go make the bed first."
After Zhu Qianying made the bed, Yan Shao put Zizai on the bed, helped him take off his clothes and shoes, covered him with a quilt, and then the two went back to the living room. While Zhu Qianying sat down to rest, Yan Shao briefly explained what had happened earlier.
"After you bring Zizai back, I immediately had someone investigate the person who sent Zizai to the courier company, and found out that the person was Cheng Ye."
"Then, following the trail, I found out that the designer at his flagship store in the US was named Zhu-Ying. After confirming that it was you, I immediately came to the US to find you. However, you should have already returned to China by then. I went to the jewelry store but found nothing, and eventually found this place. At that time, because I heard that you had been threatened and intimidated before, I asked a friend to check it out. By the way, I also took care of those thugs before returning to China."
Zhu Qianying then realized that if she hadn't returned to China, Young Master Yan would have found her sooner or later.
"So, in a way, Zhu Junwei's cleverness backfired, didn't it?"
If those thugs hadn't threatened Zizai's safety, Zhu Qianying would never have sent Zizai back to Yan Shao's side.
"Yes, in that case, shouldn't I thank him?" Young Master Yan couldn't help but find it amusing, while also feeling quite emotional.
If it weren't for Zhu Junwei and Yi Wei's elaborate scheme to drive Zhu Qianying to her doom, Zhu Qianying would never have sent Zizai back to China. If that had happened, Yan Han might never have known that he and Zhu Qianying had a son named Zizai.
All I can say is that it's all fate!
"However, no matter how much Zhu Junwei planned, he didn't expect you to have a son. It's fortunate that you and your son don't live together, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Mentioning this, both Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
Zizai is still so young, if he really had to face that kind of misfortune...
Clearly, the two were thinking about the same thing, and thus, considering all the terrible consequences that might occur, they fell silent.
"Go take a shower first, I'll tidy up the house."
Zhu Qianying broke the silence first, and then got up and went into the washroom.
Zhu Qianying naturally didn't dare to expect that Yan Shao, a pampered young master who was waited on hand and foot, would help her clean the house. So, when she came out with a wet rag and saw Yan Shao still sitting on the sofa, she was very surprised. "Yan Shao, why haven't you gone to take a shower yet?"
It was already strange enough that the man could stay calmly in the dusty living room for ten minutes. She had clearly told him to go take a shower, but he was still staying here. What did that mean?
"Let me have the driver come in and clean it up. You've been busy all day, you must be tired."
Yan Shao spoke with great sincerity, his face filled with concern and heartache.
Although Young Master Yan didn't intend to help her personally, his thoughtfulness and intentions were enough to move Zhu Qianying.
"No need, I'll just wipe it down and clean it up quickly. You go take a shower, how tiring can such a small thing be!"
Zhu Qianying was not a pampered girl; these household chores were a piece of cake for her and not tiring at all.
Besides, being able to see my son and spend time with him makes all the exhaustion worthwhile.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Yan Shao had no choice but to drag his luggage into the room where Zizai was sleeping. When he came out after taking a shower, Zhu Qianying had already cleaned the living room and the room and made the bed.
Zhu Qianying pointed to the newly cleaned guest room and said to Young Master Yan, "Young Master Yan, you can sleep with Zizai, or you can sleep here by yourself."
The room where Zizai slept was clearly the master bedroom, with a king-sized bed. If Yan Shao were to tell the truth, he would definitely want to sleep in the master bedroom with Zizai and Zhu Qianying.
"Can't we sleep together?" he asked jokingly.
Then, naturally, he received a big eye roll from Zhu Qianying.
Yan Shao quickly added, "If you don't mind being tired, sleep with Zizai; he misses you. If you're tired, let him sleep with me." This time, Yan Shao spoke with extra seriousness.
Zizai is quite restless when he sleeps, so sleeping with him will definitely affect my sleep quality. This is something that Young Master Yan has experienced firsthand.
“I’ll sleep with Zizai, you can sleep in the next room.”
Zhu Qianying declined his offer. She didn't know how long the father and son would stay in the United States, but she herself would have to stay in the United States for at least another week to finish her work. Therefore, she naturally had to try her best to spend more time with her son.
"No problem, it's settled then!"
When Zhu Qianying came out after taking a shower, in the living room, besides Yan Shao, there was also Zizai who had woken up from a nap.
Zhu Qianying walked over and looked at the little guy with amusement, "Hungry?"
Zhu Qianying knew her precious son very well. Like herself, he was a big eater. When eating dinner, he was only thinking about getting home as soon as possible. Therefore, he would eat a little bit and then lie to his parents that he was full. In reality, he didn't eat much.
So, this time, it must have been from hunger that woke me up.
Having his thoughts guessed, the little boy nodded emphatically, "Yes! Mommy, are you hungry?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Zhu Qianying's belly.
"Hungry!"
Zhu Qianying had just finished tidying up and had basically used up all her dinner, so she was naturally very hungry.
"Shall we have pizza then?"
Only then did Zhu Qianying notice that Yan Shao was studying the takeout order in his hand.
"What does Zizai want to eat? Noodles or pizza?" Zhu Qianying had already prepared the ingredients for a late-night snack when she went to the supermarket.
Zizai glanced at Yan Shao, then at Zhu Qianying, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can we... have noodles?"
