Chapter 163: Chapter 163 The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is

Mr. Yan looked at her for a while, eventually asking, "Why?"

Zhu Qianying was surprised he pursued the matter. He was clever enough to understand if he just thought about it a bit!

"There’s no particular reason. My mother might come to R City to stay with Xiao Yu in a while, and if the house is bought and just left there, unused, wouldn’t that be a waste of money?"

Mr. Yan seemed to accept her explanation. He didn’t question her further, only saying, "Hmm, let Qin Xiu know if your mom changes her mind."

They chatted over dinner, yet neither of them brought up the issue of the scarf.

Zhu Qianying had come to understand that it didn’t matter to her. As for Mr. Yan, who knew what he was thinking?

After dinner, Mr. Yan went back to his study to work. Zhu Qianying, who was never a clingy type, planned to go out and buy some books. She didn’t bother to tell Mr. Yan about her plans. Once he went upstairs, she stayed in the living room and read for a while. Around eight, the chauffeur drove her to Book City for a browse. She returned to the Yan Family home just before ten.

Her newly purchased books were so engaging she couldn’t put them down. As soon as she returned to the Yan Family home, she made two pots of honey fruit tea, one for Mr. Yan, which she asked Uncle Hai to deliver, and one pot for herself to enjoy as she read.

When Mr. Yan heard the door open, he told them to come in. However, when he saw Uncle Hai come in with tea, he said, "No more tea, I need coffee!"

A few comforting days after the wedding had resulted in a mountain of work. He needed coffee to wake him up right now.

Uncle Hai hesitated, "Master, this is a special honey fruit tea that Ying’er prepared for you. She says it would clear your heat and moisten your dryness due to these days’ late nights."

Mr. Yan paused, "She made it herself?"

Uncle Hai nodded, "Yes, Ying’er is thoughtful. She went to Book City to buy some books and brought back honey, tea, and fresh fruits. She also made you soup, probably for you to drink later!"

Uncle Hai was more and more satisfied with Zhu Qianying as the young mistress. He kept praising her to anyone who would listen.

In his mind, Mr. Yan was unfathomable, and most people wouldn’t dare to approach him easily.

But Ying’er seemed unafraid of him, and was even thoughtful and careful in her interactions with him. Even when Mr. Yan gave her the cold shoulder, she didn’t seem to mind too much.

For someone her age, her broad-mindedness and heart weren’t easy to find.

Mr. Yan responded with a hum and continued typing at his screen.

Uncle Hai put the tray down and poured a cup of tea for Mr. Yan before leaving the room.

As Uncle Hai was reaching the door, he heard Mr. Yan ask, "Has she gone to bed?"

Uncle Hai turned back to him, "No, she’s reading in the living room. Would you like me to call her up to keep you company?"

Mr. Yan seemed to consider Uncle Hai’s suggestion for a moment before replying, "No need."

Uncle Hai knew Mr. Yan’s temperament pretty well. If he truly didn’t want something, he would refuse directly rather than wavering.

This annoying man, clearly wanting something, but insisting he didn’t need it!

"Ying’er, it’s quite lonely sitting here in this large living room alone, why don’t you go upstairs and keep young Master company?" Having been snubbed by Mr. Yan, Uncle Hai tried to go about Zhu Qianying.

"Uncle Hai, I feel comfortable here. Mr. Yan doesn’t like being disturbed while he’s working!" Zhu Qianying didn’t want to push her luck. Once more of what happened last night was enough!

Uncle Hai didn’t know whether to praise or chastise Zhu Qianying for being so self-aware.

Undeterred, Uncle Hai tried to persuade her some more, saying things like "You’re different from others; you being there would make the young Master happy."

However, Zhu Qianying was immovable, "Let’s not. I can’t sit still for too long. I would be up and down, having tea, going to the toilet, checking the kitchen...I wouldn’t want to disturb Mr. Yan."

Uncle Hai sighed inwardly. Both of them, one frustratingly obstinate, the other too understanding and respectful. Neither wanted to create any disturbance.

They were newlyweds. Mr. Yan was busy with work, while the young Mistress neither threw fits nor nagged, instead choosing to make considerate choices like brewing tea and making soup...

Was this mutual respect or mutual indifference?

Uncle Hai secretly worried for the young couple. The emperor isn’t in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

In the end, Zhu Qianying stayed in the living room until the soup was done. She adjusted the taste and asked Uncle Hai to send it upstairs.

Uncle Hai didn’t want to take the credit himself. Besides, he wanted to create some warm moments for the two of them.

"Ying’er, this was made with your effort. You should be the one to bring it upstairs."

If the soup was brought upstairs, maybe Ying’er would voluntarily feed Mr. Yan the soup if he acted a bit coquettish?

Uncle Hai conjured a harmonic image in his mind, only for Zhu Qianying to flatly reject it.

"Uncle Hai, I’m tired. I’m going to have a wash and then sleep. Sorry for the trouble with the soup!"

As she spoke, she yawned and walked out of the kitchen.

Uncle Hai sighed as he looked at the soup cup and bowl neatly placed on the tray.

Oh, when would Mr. Yan and Ying’er get along like this soup cup and bowl, in perfect harmony?

Mr. Yan, who was busy and harrowed in his study, thought that Zhu Qianying would personally bring the soup she had prepared. So, when Uncle Hai appeared again, he couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

"Where is she?"

Uncle Hai clearly saw the disappointment flash in Mr. Yan’s eyes. But he didn’t make up any comforting words and simply told the truth.

"Ying’er said she’s tired and has gone to take a bath and sleep."

Mr. Yan got up and came over. The emotion in his eyes had calmed down. He sat down on the sofa and saw that besides soup, there were snacks on the tray.

"Did she make this too?"

Uncle Hai shook his head, "These were delivered by your mother-in-law this afternoon. Ying’er was worried you might get hungry, so she asked me to bring these with the soup."

Mr. Yan didn’t say anything. He took the soup that Uncle Hai had prepared and began to drink it spoon by spoon.’

Thinking Mr. Yan had no further questions, Uncle Hai got up to leave. But Mr. Yan stopped his action and looked at him, "Has she eaten?"

Uncle Hai shook his head again, "No, she hasn’t eaten or had any soup. She might be worried about gaining weight, I guess? Actually, she’s too thin. I really don’t understand the aesthetics of these young girls..."

At this moment, both Uncle Hai and Mr. Yan remembered Zhu Qianying was thin. Both felt a bit sorrowful about it.

However, both forgot that girl always had a big appetite. Her thinness was due to her constitution, not dieting!

"Young Master, work is never-ending. When you have time, spend it with Ying’er."

Of course, Uncle Hai cared for the young Master too, but he was more concerned about Zhu Qianying.

She was just twenty, still a big kid. Would she have to stay at home all the time from now on like she does now?

"Hmm!" Mr. Yan obediently responded.

But Uncle Hai felt that the young Master probably had no idea how to spend time together.
