Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Some things, have changed

Only after more than ten minutes did Eldest Young Master Yan move away from her body.

From Zhu Qianying’s initial anxiety to the extreme relaxation that followed, and then to the point of almost falling asleep to his gradually soothing breath.

The Eldest Young Master Yan laid on top of her until all his intense physical reactions had mostly subsided before he used his hands to prop himself up on the sofa and sat up.

After sitting up, he didn’t rush to leave but turned his head slightly and silently looked at her with his shining deep black eyes.

At first, Zhu Qianying met his gaze a few times, but after a while, she felt somewhat embarrassed, pretended to yawn, turned her face away, and avoided his gaze.

She didn’t know how long Young Master Yan had been watching her, but eventually, Zhu Qianying’s sleepiness began to take over again.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she could feel him lowering his head again, his warm breath sprayed on her face.

Instinctively, she raised her hand against his face in an attempt to push him away, but he slipped his hand under her shoulder, gently lifting her up.

"I’m sorry!"

His deep voice, no longer hoarse, was full of genuine remorse.

Zhu Qianying was a little stunned, sitting blankly as she watched the man’s slender fingers help her adjust her clothes. Then, he clumsily buttoned the lowest two or three buttons that had somehow come undone.

The atmosphere was peculiarly strange, both of them seemed to feel awkward about the almost disastrous situation they had just been in.

In response to his apology, Zhu Qianying didn’t know how to respond.

Should she say it doesn’t matter?

It seemed that she wasn’t actually that generous, and during the moments when she was still rational, she even had thoughts of killing him.

Or should she harshly tell him, "Go to hell!"?

But when she opened her mouth, she somehow couldn’t say it out loud.

If she had said "Go to hell!" a few days after their reunion, she believed she could have said it righteously and naturally.

But now, after spending a few days in M country and encountering a series of seemingly normal incidents that felt peculiar to her, she couldn’t get the words "Go to hell!" out of her mouth.

After all, they were both adults, especially in today’s liberal social climate. In other people’s eyes, he and she were a legal couple with a son nearing five-years-old. Being in the same hotel, both a bit drunk, it wouldn’t be unusual for them to do something like that, would it?

While she was still wrestling with how to respond to his "I’m sorry," the man finally helped her finish fastening her buttons, deeply gazing at her while she obediently kept her head down.

He raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, saying "Goodnight!"

Then, before she could react, his tall figure had already flashed into the bedroom, leaving a stunned Zhu Qianying alone in the living room after the door slammed shut.

Zhu Qianying was somewhat dazed, as if her brain couldn’t think anymore. By the time she came back to her senses, she was lying in bed. As for when she left the living room or when she went to take a bath, she couldn’t quite remember.

In her mind, all she could think of were the vivid memories of him overpowering her.

Unconsciously, she began to get angry with herself. She angrily pulled the quilt over her head including her face. After some self-reflection in the dark bed, she sighed quietly and then closed her eyes...

...

The next day, Zhu Qianying woke up as usual to the sound of an annoying alarm.

Today was her last day in M country. She got up, washed up, and walked out of the living room just like the previous few days.

And Eldest Young Master Yan, as usual, shifted his gaze from a magazine, greeted her with a "Good morning!"

Steaming hot milk was still placed on the coffee table as usual, and the buffet cart full of breakfast was still quietly beside the coffee table as usual.

Everything appeared to be the same as usual.

But Zhu Qianying knew that something was different.

"Good morning, Young Master Yan!"

But like the previous few days, she greeted him casually, sat down on the sofa, picked up the milk, and drank more than half of it.

"What time do you think you’ll be able to leave? I’ll pick you up to pack your bags."

Yan Han’s gaze never left her face since he had greeted her in the morning.

"Everything should be done before noon. You can pick me up for lunch. I’ve already packed my luggage. You can just bring it over when you leave."

Zhu Qianying was always straightforward and efficient.

Neither of them explicitly mentioned going back together, but they both tacitly understood that they were going back together.

"Alright, take your time eating, no rush. I have to go out in a bit too, I’ll drop you off at the workshop on the way."

Zhu Qianying nodded, after which the two of them fell silent.

They didn’t make any conversation until he dropped her off at the workshop.

Later, Cheng Ye, who was in the workshop to supervise work with Zhu Qianying, noticed that she was unusually quiet and teased her with a smile.

"What’s the matter, gonna miss me?"

Zhu Qianying lifted her eyelids and shot him a glance, "Yes!"

A smile appeared on Cheng Ye’s face, and he heard her say, "Where’s the agreed-upon one-percent sales commission? Stingy boss!"

With her complaining, Cheng Ye laughed even more joyfully!

"What’s the rush? Isn’t it almost Spring Festival? Consider it as a red envelope for your baby boy!"

Zhu Qianying pouted, "That’s not the way it works. The commission is mine. How did it become your red packet for my baby boy?"

"Now, you’ve become a rich lady, why argue with a small boss like me?" Cheng Ye joked again.

Zhu Qianying snorted, and the conversation between the two slowly picked up.

As her work began to wind down and she finished explaining the follow-up tasks to her assistant, she looked at the time. It was about time for Yan Han to pick her up.

Zhu Qianying said goodbye to her workers and assistant first, then Cheng Ye put down his work and walked her out.

Yan Han’s car seemed to have been parked at the gate since early morning, clearly visible from far away.

When Cheng Ye and Zhu Qianying reached the door, they both stopped in unison in perfect understanding.

Cheng Ye extended his arm for a virtual hug, "Take care, Ying Zi!"

Zhu Qianying nodded with a smile, "I will! You take care too. Also, have you noticed that your accounts are getting more and more convoluted? You better find a boss lady soon!"

Cheng Ye pat her shoulder, "There’s a good side to complicated accounts. Today, it may seem like I have taken a small advantage from you, but tomorrow, it may become a big advantage for you!"
