Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The Scheming Girl Who Knows his Preferences

After the auction, Zhu Qianying was busy for two days. On the evening of the third day, she and Yan Han went to Mr. and Mrs. Lei’s house for a visit as agreed.

Before leaving, Zhu Qianying asked Yan Han what gift they should prepare. Yan Han, himself, didn’t pay much attention to these etiquette formalities. After all, with his status, most of these things were usually done by others for him, rather than him doing them.

As for those who insisted that he perform such formalities, they were mostly the elders in his family.

He could always find something to please his elders, as these were the people he cared for and held in high regards. On this point, he did exceptionally well.

As for others who demanded certain formalities from him, they were mostly handled by his good underlings, such as Uncle Hai, Qin Xiu, Ke Kai, and Ma Peng.

It was these good underlings and butlers of his who had spoiled the young master to the point where he didn’t behave like an Earthling anymore.

"What’s there to prepare? I’ve ordered two bottles of collector’s edition red wine. We can pick them up on our way there tonight."

Zhu Qianying nodded her head, not saying much more.

However, when they arrived at the Lei family’s house in the evening, when Yan Han handed over the two expensive bottles of red wine to Mr. and Mrs. Lei, Zhu Qianying also took out two exquisitely packed small boxes from her bag and presented them to the hosts.

"Mr. Lei, Mrs. Lei, these are small tokens from me."

Upon opening the boxes, Mr. and Mrs. Lei discovered that both boxes contained a jade brooch.

Mr. Lei’s brooch was designed to be simple and steady, while Mrs. Lei’s was designed to be elegant and noble.

"Ah, Ying Zi, you are indeed talented. This brooch is so beautiful, exactly what I wanted. I love it!"

Mrs. Lei was clearly ecstatic. She opened her arms, hugging Zhu Qianying into an embrace.

"Really? I’m glad you like it! I noticed that Mr. Lei and Mrs. Lei seem to prefer traditional Chinese style attire. So, I decided to give you these two brooches I designed earlier. It would be great if you do not mind my less skillful design at the time."

Apparently, the price of these jade brooches from Zhu Qianying, is undoubtedly lower than the price of the two bottles of red wine brought by Yan Han.

However, she excelled in thoughtfulness, knowing how to cater to their tastes better than a common gift like red wine.

She was probably the kind of person who is often labeled a "calculated girl" on the internet. But her acting didn’t feel unpleasant. Instead, it brought a lot of pleasure.

This reminded Yan Han of the time this girl first met his parents. She brought two pots of Chinese Lucky Grass, which were worth just a few dozen yuan. Anyone else would have been too embarrassed to do that.

However, she just walked in there boldly. Moreover, his parents, as well as he himself, cherished her and the plants enormously!

In fact, he himself cherishes that pot of Lucky Grass even more.

Until now, that pot of Lucky Grass belonging to him was carefully placed in his bedroom. Every few days, he would take it out to get some sunshine and rainfall. It’s growing so well!

"Ying Zi, you’re being too polite. Hearing you repeatedly address us as Mr. Lei and Mrs. Lei is making me uncomfortable. Just call us Brother Lei and Sister-in-Law Lei, just like Xiao Yan does!"

Mrs. Lei affectionately held Zhu Qianying’s hand and sat down. She then began to examine the brooch again. The two bottles of red wine that Yan Han had brought were already taken away by the servant and placed in the wine cabinet.

"Sister-in-Law Lei, do you really like this style of brooch? I also have a pair of amethyst ones, which were designed around the same time. If you don’t mind, I can bring them over another day."

Zhu Qianying often had many design inspirations, but after all, the market’s acceptance was limited. Therefore, some of her works were just kept as her own treasures and were not promoted to the market.

"Ying Zi, so you’re saying, these two brooches are the only ones of their kind?"

Realizing that the treasure in her hand might be a unique piece on the market, Mrs. Lei was even more delighted.

"Indeed, products of this style have fewer audiences, and Ying Jewelry’s reputation isn’t powerful enough to lead fashion trends. Therefore, some designs that cannot be accepted by the masses, I consider them as private collections."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lei cherished the brooch in her hand even more.

Chatting with Mrs. Lei for quite a while, Yan Han finally found a chance to approach Zhu Qianying.

"Ying’er!"

Zhu Qianying turned her head to look at him, and saw a serious expression on his face, which startled her a bit.

Because, in these past few days, the Eldest Young Master Yan had rarely looked at her with such a stoic face.

"Hmm?!"

Yan Han glanced at Mrs. Lei, who was still happily examining how to wear the brooch to make it look nice, and then, struggling to suppress his feelings, he asked with a hint of sourness.

"You haven’t given me any gifts before, have you?"

Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment, then tilted her head and thought. It seemed that it was indeed the case?

"I haven’t? I forget..."

Even though she couldn’t remember whether she had ever given him a gift, she would not admit it even if it were true.

After all, he hasn’t given her anything either, has he?

Oh... Except for, well, a little tadpole, which then took root and sprouted in her body.

Luckily, the final product of this tadpole was unexpectedly good, so she wouldn’t mind giving him a gift in return.

"It’s not a question of ’haven’t?’ or ’You forgot,’ you just never did!"

The Eldest Young Master Yan looked quite disgruntled. It seemed Zhu Qianying didn’t owe him a gift, she owed him billions of cash.

"Okay, if I haven’t, then I haven’t. What would you like? I will let you pick anything when we go back. That should be okay, right?"

Zhu Qianying did have a substantial collection of treasures. However, their value might not necessarily be very high.

As for whether there is something that suits the taste of the Eldest Young Master Yan, and whether it can catch the high-maintenance eye of the Eldest Young Master Yan, she really had no idea!

But even though she was so generous in making this promise, the Eldest Young Master was still not satisfied.

He seemed to have been holding back a lot, but in the end, he still couldn’t help but say, "Can’t you design a new one for me?"

Zhu Qianying took a deep breath to calm the irritation welling up inside her. Yan Han, the eldest young master, was a real piece of work, asking for an inch and taking a mile!

"Alright..." Zhu Qianying let out a deep breath.

Although she was not a famous designer, she had her own artistic standards. She didn’t just design something simply because someone asked her to!

However, in the end, she didn’t say these words out loud.

Because she knew that with the character of the Eldest Young Master, if he wanted something, he would do everything to get it.

It’s better to promise him upfront than arguing with him and eventually having to design one anyway. This would save a lot of trouble, for both of them.

Zhu Qianying, thinking like this, agreed verbally. However, she planned to quickly design something simple for Yan Han once they got back.
