Chapter 230: Chapter 230: One Thing Cures Another

She truly couldn’t understand why the proud Yan Han could accept the commands of a nearly five-year-old boy willingly.

Could this be the case of ’one ailment requiring one remedy’?

Or is it the magic of blood relations at play?

Zhu Qianying pulled the car up next to Yan Han and gradually wound down the window.

After her car turned the corner, the man locked his gaze onto the car, even taking a few steps forward. A look of relief spread across his face as though he had been waiting for a long time.

Zhu Qianying might have a heart of stone but she hadn’t become enemies with this man, despite their failed marriage. Mainly because, she didn’t want their son to become a victim of the emotional tug-of-war between her and Yan Han.

"Get in!" Zhu Qianying told the man leaning towards her, unbuckling the car door lock with a "click".

The man seemed somewhat surprised but quickly opened the door and slid into the co-pilot’s seat.

He fastened his seat belt and turned to greet the little boy in the back seat, "Hello, Baby!"

The boy known as ’baby boy’ remained silent. Zhu Qianying glanced at him through the rearview mirror, "Baby boy, where are your manners? Has a dog eaten them?"

It was only then that the boy raised his head, glanced at Yan Han, and said reluctantly, "Hello, Daddy!"

Yan Han’s heart felt like it was filled with honey immediately. The chill of the wind and the annoyance of waiting earlier seemed worthwhile at the sound of the child’s childish greeting.

Yes, it was all worth it!

"Were you a good boy, baby boy? Did you see anything interesting in the store with Mommy?"

Yan Han had seldom encountered such a compliant state from his son. Knowing it was better not to upset the boy, he still dared to ask the question.

’Baby boy,’ having learned from the earlier lesson, glanced at Zhu Qianying through the rearview mirror. Seeing the warning in her eyes, he obediently answered.

"Uh... I saw a Dragon... and a Phoenix..."

Yan Han thought for a moment, then turned to Zhu Qianying, "Are they jade carvings?"

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, jade carvings, he likes jade."

On hearing this, Yan Han immediately asked his son, "Do you like the Dragon and the Phoenix? Daddy will buy them!"

Now, Zhu Qianying slightly regretted mentioning the interest of her son. How could she forget the ’wealthy man’ tendency of buying whatever their child likes? Buy, buy, buy!

"Mr. Yan, my son just likes them, he doesn’t need to own them. There’s no need to buy them!"

Zhu Qianying did not want her son to turn into a spendthrift. But at the rate Yan Han was going, he would definitely spoil him into a useless, wasteful child.

Yan Han remained non-committal towards Zhu Qianying’s insistence.

Zhu Qianying assumed he was convinced. The car arrived at the apartment building, and she started giving instructions to the little boy while unfastening her seatbelt.

"Baby boy, we’ve arrived. Make sure you have your backpack and the snacks you just bought. Remember to hide them, don’t let Grandma see."

Chen Jing always believed that store-bought snacks were subpar, she often made cookies and jelly snacks for the baby boy. Yet children enjoy various types of snacks. Zhu Qianying, being a mother, occasionally indulged her son with store-bought snacks. The quantity was limited and most importantly, they must never let Grandma find out.

Little boy giggled and replied, "I know, I won’t get Mommy into trouble!"

Yan Han couldn’t help but shake his head in amusement. It seemed that the boy’s cunning had come from Zhu Qianying.

Yan Han was the first to exit the car, he opened the back door and held out both arms to the little boy who had his backpack ready.

After a moment’s hesitation, the boy stole a glance at Zhu Qianying to see her looking down and unlocking the car, ignoring him. He avoided Yan Han’s outstretched arms, kicked his little legs, and jumped out of the car. He cheerfully ran into the apartment building with his backpack.

Yan Han closed the car door without a thought. As the sound of the door echoed and the car trembled slightly, Yan Han frowned and squinted at the shabby car. When he saw Zhu Qianying emerge from the car, he said,

"Ying’er, can we get a better-performing car? You drive baby boy to work quite often, this car isn’t safe!"

As far as Yan Han was concerned, this quirky car should have been scrapped a long time ago. How could it even run on a road?

Moreover, Yan Han wasn’t short on money. The cars in his garage could form a fleet. How could he allow his ex-wife and son to drive such an unsafe car that embarrasses them in public?

To his surprise, Zhu Qianying didn’t object this time.

"Hmm!"

Overjoyed at her response, Yan Han was about to ask her about her car preferences when he heard her say,"I will buy it tomorrow!"

Zhu Qianying indeed planned to buy a new car. Originally, she intended to cover all the payments for this apartment. But with Xiao Yu taking up half the contributions, she now had some spare money. She might not afford a luxury car, but a car worth two to three hundred thousand was within her means.

Yan Han couldn’t have imagined that her agreement was actually about buying the car herself. He was unhappy once he understood her plot.

"Buy what? There are so many unused cars in our garage, pick whichever car you like, there’s no need to waste money."

Unmindful young master Yan was not in a good mood, evident from his tone.

Zhu Qianying closed the car door and approached him.

"I can’t afford your cars!"

Zhu Qianying spoke the truth.

The cars owned by young master Yan were not only incredibly expensive, but they also consumed a lot of fuel. Ordinary people can hardly afford them.

Furthermore, in case of an accidental scratch or damage, the repair costs could easily cover the expense of a new car for Zhu Qianying.

Even though Zhu Qianying was telling the hard truth, it didn’t sit well with young master Yan.

"Zhu Qianying, are you really that poor? You’re clearly wealthy, why belittle yourself? You may not care about belittling yourself, but why put our son through misery too!"

Young master Yan had genuinely lost his cool. Would she insist on drawing such clear boundaries with him?

A car was pretty much worthless to him.

Similarly, maintenance was not an issue either. But she had to create unnecessary tension over this minor issue!

Zhu Qianying looked at him and calmly replied.

"Yes, I am poor! Moreover, I am not wealthy, I have no connection with you. Are you saying I belittle myself? I am only leading a lifestyle according to my income, is this belittling? No, this is not belittling, it’s living within one’s means! With regards to our son, I don’t think he has suffered in any way these past years, nor do I feel like I’ve wronged him in any way!"
