Chapter 138 - 138 138 Dont Want It Nor Despise It

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Don’t Want It, Nor Despise It Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Don’t Want It, Nor Despise It “Are you sure, just this one?”

Mr. Yan had made up his mind, even if Zhu Qianying demanded to buy all the jewelry in the store, he would grant her wish with a wave of his hand!

But on this rare occasion of his benevolence and generosity, she chose a modest diamond ring that cost just over ten thousand Yuan?

The person who usually pinches pennies, even going as far as splitting one Yuan into five, had rejected this juicy piece of meat served to her on a silver platter?!

This was illogical!

Was there something wrong with her brain?!

Mr. Yan stared at her intently, expecting to see some clue on her face, but Zhu Qianying remained resolute, confirming once again, “Yes, just this one!”

Mr. Yan stared at her for several seconds. Seeing that she had no intention of changing her mind, he signaled to the driver-cum-bodyguard behind him to go and pay the bill.

He turned his head and saw Zhu Qianying engrossed in looking at the other pieces of jewelry on the counter. Mr. Yan then strolled up to her and generously said, “Want to buy anything else? Let’s buy it together.”

He thought Zhu Qianying would be overjoyed, but she turned her head towards him and gave a faint smile, shaking her head, “No, there’s nothing I need, I was just looking!”

At this moment, Mr. Yan assumed Zhu Qianying was playing hard to get.

It wasn’t until much later that he understood she never intended to take anything from him from the very start, except for the explicitly stated two billion Yuan betrothal gifts. Everything else, she never wanted, nor did she care for!

And he, unknowingly lost so much, whether she wanted it or not!

After leaving the jewelry store, Mrs. Yan finally seemed happier with her son.

“Xiao Han, where are you and Ying’er planning for your honeymoon?”

This question had been brought up when discussing wedding details, but at that time, both Mr. Yan and Zhu Qianying kept delaying it claiming no rush.

Mr. Yan subconsciously glanced at Zhu Qianying, who promptly realized and quickly took over the conversation.

“Auntie, Mr. Yan has been so busy lately, let’s put off the honeymoon plans for now and reconsider during the Spring Festival holiday.”

She knew very well that although they had just received their marriage certificate and the wedding ceremony was not far off, legally they were a couple.

But, emotionally speaking, their relationship was barely that of friends. Many times, she felt that even calling Mr. Yan a friend was a stretch. Why would such a couple need a honeymoon?

Mr. Yan gave her a deep look, then turned to Mrs. Yan and said, “Yes, I’ve been quite busy recently, and the Spring Festival holiday isn’t far off anyway. We can make arrangements then.”

Mrs. Yan looked at her son, then at Zhu Qianying. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back and did not say anything more.

The newlyweds managed to get their marriage certificate without a hitch.

Everyone enjoyed the dinner that evening immensely. Two playful but adorable little boys ran amongst the guests, creating a lively and intimate atmosphere.

Mrs. Yan playfully teased Zhu Qianying, “Ying’er, now that you and Xiao Han are a legally married couple, you can start calling us mom and dad!”

Zhu Qianying paused for a moment, then broke into a sweet smile and addressed the elderly couple, “Dad! Mom!”

She genuinely cared for the two elders!

That’s because, she could feel the warmth and care from them that she had not received from her own parents.

She was the kind of person who would reciprocate the kindness shown to her, doubling it in return. She wasn’t afraid to admit or respond to feelings, whether it’s love or hate. Pretentiousness hardly ever featured in her vocabulary.

With her addressing them as such, Mrs. Yan and Mr. Bo were thrilled and immediately ordered Housekeeper Hai to bring two big red envelopes and stuffed them into Zhu Qianying’s hands, calling them ‘hushed money’.

Over there, the two brats saw their aunt receiving red envelopes, so they also set their eyes on the two big red envelopes. Subsequently, they hopped off their chairs and rushed towards Mrs. Yan and Mr. Bo, lifting their faces, batting their big, round eyes and unanimously said.

“Hello grandfather! Hello grandmother!” As they spoke, they extended their chubby little hands to them.

The display of the two little fellows being so mesmerized by money amused everyone in the dining room, and brought out laughs all around!

Mrs. Yan could not resist pulling the two little ones into a big hug, giving them lots of kisses, then took the red envelopes from Housekeeper Hai and put them into the hands of the youngsters.

After receiving the red envelopes, the two brats bent their bodies in a bow and thanked them sweetly, “Thank you, Grandfather. Thank you, Grandmother!”

Those two little fellows were naturally loaded with money at home. Guessing that even if you didn’t take into account their grandparents’ wealth, just from their own parents’ assets would be enough for them to spend for ten lifetimes and not run out.

But these little fellows, at the sight of red envelopes, their eyes would light up because they knew the money from the red envelopes could buy them lots and lots of candies!

Mrs. Yan admired the intelligence and lively charm of Beibei and Guoguo and hoped more than ever that her son and Zhu Qianying would start a family soon. Then she, too, could enjoy blissful family times.

Of course, she did not dare to openly express this hope, nor would she ever tell Zhu Qianying directly.

The old lady did not want Zhu Qianying to misunderstand that the primary purpose of the Yan family marrying her was to have her bear children for the Yans.

But even if Mrs. Yan took great care to hide her desires, Zhu Qianying had long been sure that the main reason Mr. Yan and the Yan family brought her into the household was to carry on the family line.

Zhu Qianying was always very self-aware, if it had been true love between her and Mr. Yan, no amount of dowry would be too much, not even ten billion. After all, love is priceless, no amount would seem too small or too much.

But she and Mr. Yan, their relationship was based on a transaction, so, even with just her, she was obviously not worth two billion.

Therefore, she knew very well what the two billion represented.

So, when Zhu Qianyu, sitting by her side, joked, “Sis, when are you and Mr. Yan planning on having a baby?”, she responded with a smile, “Let nature take its course. If they could be as cute as Beibei and Guoguo, I wouldn’t mind having one tomorrow.”

Zhu Qianyu, the silly girl, immediately blurted out happily, “Then I’ll be an aunt soon!”

Zhu Qianying responded with a noncommittal smile, turned her head and started chatting idly with a few elders.

That evening, Zhu Qianying and her mother and sister, along with the Ji Family, stayed at the Yan residence until past ten o’clock before leaving.

The two families returned to the rented holiday villa. Zhu Qianying and her mother and sister stayed downstairs, while the Ji Family occupied the second floor.

After Zhu Qianying had showered and sat in her room browsing the web, she heard a knock on the door. Assuming it was her mother, she opened the door only to find Ji Huan and her sister Zhu Qianyu there.

Standing outside the door, Ji Huan didn’t intend to come in, “Ying Zi, care to have a drink together?”
