Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Son, For You, No Divorce (Fifth Update)

During dinner, the little boy naturally became the star of the evening.

Both Yan Bo’s elderly couple and Yan Han, as grandparents and father, were curious about the child’s past.

From the time the little boy grew his first tooth when he was just a few months old, to his first spoken word, they wanted to know every little detail about him.

The main course of this meal was not the plethora of delicious dishes prepared by Chen Jing, but the anecdotes and various fun stories about the boy’s journey from infancy to the present.

After the meal, Yan Bo and his wife, along with Chen Jing and Zhu Qianyu, went downstairs to the community for a walk with the little boy, leaving Zhu Qianying and Yan Han alone in the room.

During the meal, both Zhu Qianying and Yan Han deliberately avoided talking about some sensitive issues due to the quarrel they had previously downstairs.

However, some things cannot be avoided.

For example, the issue of who the baby boy would live with next could not be postponed.

Yan Bo’s couple must have realized this, so after dinner they went downstairs with Chen Jing, Zhu Qianyu, and the little boy.

Zhu Qianying made a pot of coffee, poured a cup for Yan Han, then slid the cream and sugar packets across the table to him.

"I don’t know your taste, so adjust it yourself."

After that, she poured herself a cup, added cream and sugar, then started to stir it slowly with a little spoon.

"I thought you preferred tea?"

Yan Han tasted the coffee directly and found her coffee-making skills were just as impressive as her snack cooking and noodle boiling skills; they catered to his taste in a mysterious way.

Zhu Qianying sipped her coffee and looked at him. "I’m quite casual, I like everything as long as it’s good."

Yan Han paused and looked into her dark eyes, "Does that apply to everything?"

Zhu Qianying responded with an ambiguous smile, "You can think whatever you like!"

Yan Han frowned slightly, about to say something, when Zhu Qianying spoke again.

"Mr. Yan, I’ve cleaned up this room. In a couple of days, I want to bring my baby boy here to live with me. You, along with Uncle and Auntie, are welcome to visit him anytime, and you can also come pick him up for a few days. I don’t mind any of that."

Yan Han was taken aback. His mind had been wandering between Cheng Ye and Xing Bailun, only to be abruptly brought back by her mention of their son.

And this sounded like it was about their son, but in reality, it included her as well.

She wasn’t going back home with him and what’s more, she also intended to take their son, that was the main point.

"No, I disagree!"

Just an hour ago, Yan Han was still reveling in the beautiful fantasy of a happy family, only for her to give him such a ruthless reply?

Zhu Qianying had expected that he wouldn’t easily agree, so she didn’t show much surprise.

"Yan Han, on this matter, I’m informing you, not seeking your opinion," Zhu Qianying said with a steadfast resolution.

"Why is it up to you to inform me? Until now, you and I are still wife and husband. The baby boy is our son. You don’t have the right to decide where our son should live on your own."

On this matter, Yan Han was particularly persistent.

He could step back on other matters, but not this one, he couldn’t give in, he couldn’t let go.

Because he knew that if she took the baby boy away, he would lose his only bargaining chip. That is to say, he would lose his only bond with her.

Zhu Qianying didn’t want to discuss her marital relationship with him at this time. Right now, she only wanted to settle the issue concerning their son.

She didn’t want their son to be unhappy, and she also couldn’t bear to live separately from him for a long time.

"Yan Han, I’m not trying to decide where our son should live. I just think that as a mother, I should and am better suited to take care of him. So, he can live with me for now. But I won’t hinder your visits, and if you want to take him back to live for a few days, I won’t stand in your way,"

Zhu Qianying tried to explain the situation to Yan Han calmly. She was not trying to take their son away from him, she just wanted their son to grow up happily in a good environment.

Yan Han stared at her silently, scrutinizing the authenticity and implications behind her words.

But soon, he found out that there were many loopholes in her statement.

He wondered whether she had intentionally left these loopholes, or she just hadn’t considered it thoroughly enough.

Emotionally, he hoped that it was deliberate, but sensibly, he believed that she was too anxious and therefore hadn’t considered it thoroughly enough.

When she said he could visit their son anytime, it meant that he could come over for meals every day under the excuse of seeing their son.

When she said he could take their son back to live anytime, it meant that he could coax her to come along while taking their son on holidays, which was no different from a family trip, right?

After analyzing the situation, Yan Han answered confidently.

"Deal! I agree that our son can live with you for now!"

Zhu Qianying didn’t expect him to agree so easily; she thought it would take quite an effort to convince him.

She stared at him for a while, making sure he was not kidding before saying a heartfelt "Thank you!" to Yan Han.

But even before she could say anything else, Yan Han continued as if he hadn’t heard her words of thanks, "Our son can live with you, but you, must agree to one thing with me."

Zhu Qianying then realized that his agreement comes with a condition! So, this man Yan, the eldest young master, really couldn’t agree so easily and swiftly as she thought.

"Alright, you say."

Zhu Qianying wanted to see what he could possibly want from her.

If he wanted money, his wealth was such that he couldn’t spend it all in ten lifetimes, so she was sure he wouldn’t be interested in her little fortune!

If he wanted her? Though she admitted to being good-looking, she was not the only beauty in the world. Moreover, didn’t he already have Miss Yi from the Yi family, his childhood sweetheart? How could he possibly come after her?

In fact, since returning, Zhu Qianying had been puzzled by this, but she didn’t want to interrogate him about it for fear of stirring up trouble.

Miss Yi was not someone to be trifled with, Zhu Qianying had already learned this five years ago.

Since it was neither money nor her that he wanted, then what could it be?

"Our son can live with you for now, but you, you cannot divorce me. I agree to live separately from you, until you are ready to come back."

This method of retreating to advance was the best solution Yan Han could come up with.

With the bond of their son, and his own relentless efforts, he didn’t believe that she could remain stubborn forever.
