Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Unintentionally Annoyed Her Again

Initially, she was full of gratitude and planned to thank him properly after getting through the busy days, for his careful care within these days.

However, after hearing what he had to say, all her feelings of gratitude and intention to thank him vanished. The boat of trust between them had capsized!

Eldest Young Master Yan shot her a sidelong glance, "Whatever you want to see, I’ll take you to see it! Do you really need to go around the place like a social butterfly with a random man?"

Once Young Master Yan switched on his toxic tongue mode, he could frustrate people to death.

Zhu Qianying didn’t die, but she didn’t want to pay him any attention anymore.

She tilted her head to one side and pretended to fall asleep, unwilling to pay attention to the arrogant guy beside her.

Yan Han waited for a while, but received no response. He looked to his side and saw Zhu Qianying curled up like a hedgehog near the window, her eyes closed as if she had fallen asleep again.

But that couldn’t be, she was full of energy just a while ago!

Taking advantage of the red light, Yan Han reached over to touch her head.

"Tired?"

Zhu Qianying ignored him and continued to close her eyes tightly, pretending to be asleep.

Though her eyes were tightly shut, the constant twitching of her long eyelashes betrayed her.

Yan Han laughed and flicked her forehead, "Little rascal’s mischievous tricks are led by you, aren’t they?"

Without waiting for her reply, he stopped teasing her and drove off.

Originally, Yan Han had planned to pick up Zhu Qianying and take her for a snack after their trip. With her astonishing appetite and efficient digestion, she must be starving after just having a small dinner.

But as he continued to drive, Zhu Qianying, who was pretending to be asleep in the passenger seat, actually fell asleep.

Yan Han didn’t have the heart to disturb her, so he drove back to their hotel. He went around to the passenger side and opened the door.

Yan Han, who was prepared to carry her in his arms back to their room, saw that she had already straightened up and was rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Awake?"

Yan Han couldn’t help but smile again, because she looked just like their little boy when she was rubbing her eyes in confusion.

Indeed, although the little guy looked like him, he had the same personality and habits as his mother.

"Um..."

Zhu Qianying was still somewhat dazed, but she had already forgotten about the minor disagreements and unpleasantness from before her sleep.

"Hungry? Do you want to buy something to eat on the way back?"

There was a 24-hour supermarket and a few coffee shops next to the hotel.

Zhu Qianying stepped out of the car, "No, I just want to go back to sleep!"

It seemed that compared with the comfort of her bed, the temptation of gourmet food was just a little less appealing.

Upon returning to the room, Zhu Qianying didn’t stay in the living room, but went straight into the bedroom and didn’t come out again.

Even if Yan Han was a fool, he could vaguely understand that he seemed to have upset her unintentionally, again.

...

The next morning, as soon as Zhu Qianying came out, she said to Yan Han, "Young Master Yan, you don’t have to drive me to the workshop today. Cheng Ye is waiting for me outside the hotel. He will take me back after attending the auction tonight!"

Zhu Qianying thought that as a registered husband and wife, this would be the greatest respect for Yan Han, even though she didn’t think he would comply obediently.

To her surprise, Yan Han nodded, "Alright, be careful on the road!"

He spoke with a serene tone, his gaze didn’t even shift towards Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying found it strange, but she didn’t ask further. She quickly grabbed her bag and rushed out the door.

Time always flies when one is busy.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and it was already past five o’clock in the afternoon. Cheng Ye came over to remind Zhu Qianying, "Ying Zi, we should start getting ready."

After Zhu Qianying had explained a few things to the assistant, she and Cheng Ye returned to the headquarters together.

Since she occasionally had to attend cocktail parties and similar events, her office always had a few formal dresses and change of clothes hanging in it.

She took a quick shower, changed into a pink silk embroidered cheongsam with plum blossoms, and styled a retro bun. After putting on light makeup, she exited the office with grace and elegance.

In recent years, oriental vintage elements have been trendy in foreign jewelry and fashion industry. During her trip back home this time, she had a few vintage cheongsam dresses custom-made at an old shop, and the one she was currently wearing was one of them.

Cheng Ye had just come out of his room. Dressed in a black evening suit, his eyes lit up when he saw Zhu Qianying.

"Ying Zi, you look really elegant in this dress!"

Zhu Qianying grinned, half-covering her mouth, and winked at him, "Just elegant? Not pretty?"

Cheng Ye laughed and shook his head, "Of course not. You’re not only elegant, but also noble, and very pretty!"

Zhu Qianying looked at him up and down, "Hmm, boss, you’re also very handsome!"

To satisfy each other’s vanity, they joked and complimented each other, then Cheng Ye drove to the auction cocktail party which was about ten minutes away.

It was said that this auction was for members only, and all the guests were senior members of a certain association.

Naturally, Zhu Qianying was not a member, but Cheng Ye was. Zhu Qianying accompanied Cheng Ye to the event as his assistant.

Zhu Qianying had been living in M country for five years, and her fame had been rising in the past two or three years. Most of the guests recognized her and Cheng Ye. Quite a few of them came forward to salute and exchange greetings.

When Cheng Ye was cornered by an old friend, Zhu Qianying went to grab some snacks to curb her hunger. Just as she was munching away in a corner, her gaze unintentionally swept towards the entrance and saw an incredibly familiar figure.

The man was dressed in a plain black suit, but it seemed extraordinarily tall and handsome on him. A light grey scarf casually draped around his neck adding a stylish sense, making him look all the more charming.

He wasn’t alone. The person who entered with him was a famous Chinese tycoon surnamed Lei, and his wife, who were well-known in M country.

Zhu Qianying, having designed jewelry for Mrs. Lei, had met this couple before.

That being said, she didn’t want to go over and greet the couple at the moment, because she didn’t want to see the man beside them.

No wonder he was so laid-back this morning. Did he plan to attend this auction tonight as well?

So, was he carrying out his promise- whatever she wanted to see, he would take her to see it?

Or was he afraid that his nominal wife would go around the place with unrelated men like a social butterfly and embarrass him?

No matter what his motive was, Zhu Qianying was sure that she didn’t want to see him.

She deliberately hid in the shadow and even turned her back to the entrance.

However, life often turns out that way- whatever you fear, it happens.

She hadn’t even finished half the food on her plate when she heard the robust footsteps from behind. As she hoped against hope, the footsteps became louder and she heard a familiar voice.
