Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Unknowingly, it’s Already in the Heart

At Qin Xiu’s words, Yan’s young master’s face grew even colder. After a moment, he stared at him icily, "She didn’t say anything?"

"Ying Zi didn’t say anything! She just said she’s not buying!"

Qin Xiu dared not relay Zhu Qianying’s previous statement about paying the full price for the house to his own grandfather, because he foresaw that his grandfather would be furious after hearing such words.

Since Zhu Qianying had already decided not to buy, there was no need to mention the previous words that were spoken out of anger or sincerity to provoke his grandfather!

Yan’s Young Master’s face stayed cold for a while, then, he gestured for him to leave.

The president of Yanhuang Group was cold as ice all day, leaving every employee he encountered frozen, their faces pale and lips white.

For sure, since the wedding, the president had been showing an unusual and happy expression these past few days, rarely revealing a gentle demeanor to everyone.

No one expected this good phase to last for a short period of time, and within a few days, everyone once again experienced a strong cold snap, even coupled with an unbearable low pressure worse than before.

Compared to Yanhuang’s staff, who were in a dire situation, Zhu Qianying of Yan’s Family, however, was living comfortably.

In the morning, after seeing Qin Xiu off, she idled around the Internet, collecting a heap of information she thought was useful.

At noon, right after lunch, she received a call from Qi Xiao inviting her out for coffee.

She asked Yan’s driver to take her out, firstly for personal safety, and secondly, to avoid any suspicion.

The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop near Yan’s, and Zhu Qianying thought she would meet more than just Qi Xiao. But when she walked into the coffee shop, she only saw Qi Xiao.

"Just you?"

Zhu Qianying asked nonchalantly, but Qi Xiao looked at her with an inquisitive look on his face, "Who else did you expect to see?"

Zhu Qianying smiled, didn’t answer him, and just waved to the waitress, ordering a fruit juice.

"Not having coffee? I heard the owner here is Brazilian, so the Brazilian coffee here is exceptionally authentic. Would you like to try it?" Qi Xiao knew her taste very well.

"No, thanks. My mouth’s a bit dry, I want to have some juice to quench my thirst."

Of course, Zhu Qianying would not say that she had to guard against unforeseen changes in her body, and would be drinking less stimulating drinks like coffee from now on.

Qi Xiao glanced at her thoughtfully but did not probe deeper. After all, some things were not his friend’s business to gossip about.

"Aaron was meant to come, but he was pulled into a meeting by his uncle at the last minute, so it’s just me!" Qi Xiao eventually couldn’t resist satisfying her curiosity.

Zhu Qianying was not surprised, "Hmm, he must be very busy these days, I understand."

Zhu Qianying chatted with Qi Xiao for over an hour before returning to Yan’s. Running into her mother bringing soup and snacks, she pulled Chen Jing out to the patio for tea, and after some deliberation, gently told her about the not buying a house for now.

Chen Jing didn’t have much to say, after all, she trusted her daughter very much now. If her daughter says she isn’t buying now, she surely has her reasons.

After seeing her mother off, Zhu Qianying went upstairs, took a bath, and noting it was still early, she lazily lay in bed reading.

A lot of her book collection was stored in her rented apartment. She was currently engrossed in a book she recently fell in love with, having read it two or three times already.

She thought, since she’s almost at the end again, she might as well go to the nearby bookstore this evening and buy a few new books to read.

As for Yan’s Young Master, who always seemed to have a cooling system attached to him, returned home near evening time and instinctively cast his eyes towards the living room.

In recent days, he usually saw Zhu Qianying sitting on the sofa when he returned home, either reading a book or watching TV, or even browsing the internet on her laptop.

But today, the living room was empty, save for the lively looking bouquet on the coffee table, the room was plunged into a dead silence.

The frown on Yan’s Young Master’s face, which had not relaxed all day, involuntarily tightened further.

"Young Master!" Uncle Hai, who noticed the young master’s return, welcomed him.

"Where is she?" Yan’s Young Master didn’t want to ask, but his mouth was half a second faster than his brain, and by the time he realized, he had already posed the question.

"Ying’er went out for a while in the afternoon, she’s resting now."

Uncle Hai was not snitching, but merely reporting the whereabouts of the mistress to his master.

"What did she do?" He asked impulsively, not even realizing how harsh his tone was.

Sensing his unfriendly tone, Uncle Hai hesitated, regretting a little to inform the young master about this trivial matter.

"She met with Qi’s second son at the coffee shop for a chat. She came back pretty soon. Xiao Song took her there." Uncle Hai patiently gave a detailed answer.

"Hmm ..." Yan’s young man unemotionally handed his taken off suit to Uncle Hai, "Did Qi Xiao bring her back?"

"No, she asked Xiao Song to wait for her outside after he dropped her off." Uncle Hai answered cautiously.

He silently decided that it would be better not to tell the young master about such small things concerning the mistress in the future.

This time, Yan’s Young Master finally stopped questioning and strode upstairs.

Pushing open the bedroom door, the room was dark with no light. Glancing at the dark lump on the bed, Yan’s Young Master instinctively lightened his steps.

He gently entered the cloakroom, grabbed his homewear, and went to the bathroom for a quick wash.

When he came out, the lump on the bed was still as it was earlier. Yan’s Young Master walked over and gently nudged her.

"Hey, wake up, time to eat!"

Zhu Qianying was startled awake, she rubbed her eyes, and it took her a while to adapt to the darkness before she could see his face clearly.

"Um... you’re back..."

She mumbled, sat up propping herself, yawned without grace, and then stretched lazily.

"Hmm..."

Yan’s Young Master clicked on the light, his dark eyes fixed on her.

He had slept in the study room’s resting room last night, and she was still sleeping heavily when he came over to change clothes in the morning.

This was the first time they were face to face since their unhappy altercation last night.

He initially thought she would hold a grudge because he was so harsh to her last night. She must have done it out of anger, not buying the house anymore. Probably, even meeting up with Qi Xiao at noon was deliberately to irritate him.

Therefore, he was mentally prepared, realizing that she would definitely not give him a good face when he returned.

But at this moment, she seemed completely unaffected. Could it be that she was sleeping so heavily, she forgot about last night’s incident?

Upon hearing that she wasn’t buying the house from Qin Xiu at noon, Yan’s Young Master was furious. His anger remained high until just now, but when he saw her sleepy face, his anger mysteriously disappeared.

"What did you do today?" His tone softened considerably without him realizing it.

Zhu Qianying blinked, her mind gradually clearing.
