Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Accompanying You

Walking with Ke Kai, Zhu Qianying realized that the hotel where Cheng Ye was staying seemed to be in the same direction as hers.

"Cheng, we’re going the same way. Let’s go together!"

After all, she felt a little bad about leaving him alone on this chilly, windy road late at night.

Once Cheng Ye got in the car, Ke Kai asked him which hotel he was staying at. After they started on the road, they began to chat.

"Mr. Cheng, your Ying Jewelry has developed quite well over the years. I heard that Mr. Cheng plans to make L City the Base Camp of Ying Jewelry, and also plans to open four to five branches in L City next year?"

Zhu Qianying was shocked. She had never heard Cheng Ye mention these plans before, and she did not know where Ke Kai had obtained this information.

She looked at Cheng Ye under the dim street lamp, wanting to verify the statements with him, but then she heard Cheng Ye’s calm response.

"Ha Ha, Mr. Ke is very well-informed. Indeed, we do have such a plan, but we are still seeking relevant support!"

By "relevant support", Cheng Ye implied financial backing, something like bank loans. This was Zhu Qianying’s first thought.

Then, her guess was quickly confirmed by Ke Kai’s words.

"Mr. Cheng, if needed, you could consider our Tong Family Finance. Since it’s a company that Ying Zi works for, our grandfather would undoubtedly offer the lowest interest rate. Moreover, we will also simplify the process and procedures as much as possible."

These words might sound welcoming to those unaware of the situation, but Cheng Ye and Zhu Qianying heard another meaning behind them.

"Thank you, Mr. Ke. If needed, I will definitely take you up on your offer!"

Zhu Qianying felt the growing tension in the car, but Cheng Ye continued to speak in his usual mild tone, with no signs of anger.

Zhu Qianying sighed silently. This Eldest Young Master of the Yan Family might not be a great husband, but he seemed to be a quite popular boss.

It was just a random encounter on the street, Cheng Ye didn’t say anything inappropriate, nor did he take any inappropriate actions. Was it necessary for Ke Kai to provoke him like this?

Zhu Qianying had no idea that Ke Kai had already thoroughly researched Cheng Ye, including the fact that Cheng Ye had been pursuing her persistently for years.

Luckily, the hotel where Cheng Ye was staying was not far from the KTV. About ten minutes later, they dropped him off at his hotel.

Before getting out of the car, Cheng Ye said to Zhu Qianying intentionally or unintentionally, "Ying Zi, we’ll be in touch tomorrow."

He spoke softly, but his voice was loud enough for Ke Kai, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, to hear clearly.

In fact, they had already arranged their schedule for tomorrow morning at the shop. Obviously, Cheng Ye’s words were intended for Ke Kai.

Zhu Qianying felt overwhelmed. She quickly waved goodbye and said goodnight to Cheng Ye, hoping that either Ke Kai’s hearing wasn’t very good and couldn’t hear Cheng Ye’s words, or if he heard, he wouldn’t think much of it.

Apparently, neither of her hopes came true.

After Cheng Ye got out of the car, Ke Kai restarted the car.

"Ying Zi, do you have work scheduled for tomorrow?"

Zhu Qianying just went along with his words and responded, "Yes, he’s the boss. It’s rare for him to come back to the country, so naturally, he’s going to exploit us workers to the fullest."

Ke Kai nodded in understanding, "Okay, then I’ll drive faster so that you can get home and rest earlier."

Zhu Qianying didn’t think much of it at first. When the car reached a certain intersection, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Ke Kai, I’m going to my mom’s place tonight, not back to the Yan Family’s."

Ke Kai had been secretly protecting Zhu Qianying and her son all this time, so how could he not know that she was staying in her new house?

However, he was still hoping against hope that Zhu Qianying would be too shy to point out his mistake. If so, he could consider it as doing a favor for his grandfather.

Since Zhu Qianying returned to the L City, there has been no substantial progress between her and his grandfather. As a subordinate, Ke Kai naturally felt impatient.

Moreover, now that Cheng Ye had returned, the situation for his grandfather looked even more precarious, didn’t it?

But it’s clear that he underestimated Zhu Qianying.

Now that she had spoken out directly, he had no choice but to turn the car around at the next intersection and head towards her new home.

...

The next morning, Zhu Qianying arrived at the Yan Family’s to pick up her son at the agreed time.

But the older Mrs. Yan, who had answered the phone yesterday, looked at her in surprise.

"Huh? Xiao Han said you were going to pick up the baby boy from the office, so he took him to work with him."

Zhu Qianying immediately understood. Ke Kai must have told Yan Han about what happened last night.

She felt furious, but decided to call Yan Han anyway, still hoping that things might not be as they seemed.

The call was quickly connected. "Ying’er, good morning, what’s up?"

Yan Han’s voice today seemed unusually gentle and calm, making Zhu Qianying feel a little uncomfortable.

She shook her head slightly to clear her mind. "Eldest Young Master Yan, Cheng Ye is back in the country. He wants to see our son. I’m on my way to pick him up now."

Although Zhu Qianying didn’t want Yan Han and Cheng Ye to have any direct conflicts or confrontations, she thought that if she appeared to be evasive now, it would seem like she had a guilty conscience.

Besides, Cheng Ye seeing their son was something logical. There was nothing to hide.

Sure enough, after she stated it outright, Yan Han found it hard to refuse.

"Alright, come over. The baby boy and I just finished breakfast at the French restaurant. Do you want us to bring you something?"

Zhu Qianying glanced at the time. It was past nine already and Yan Han, who usually went to work precisely at eight, was still hanging out with their son at this hour for breakfast?

"No need, I’ve had breakfast. Take the baby boy back to the office first. If you’re busy, just leave him there alone. I’ll come up to pick him up."

Zhu Qianying really hoped that she would only see her son.

But things didn’t go as she wanted. When she pushed open the door to Yan Han’s office, not only was her son in the reception room but also Yan Han.

As soon as the baby boy spotted Zhu Qianying, he pushed the door of the reception room open, ran out to be hugged and kissed. Yan Han followed, carrying the baby boy’s backpack and his own bag.

Zhu Qianying naturally reached out to take the baby boy’s bag, but Yan Han sidestepped her hand.

"Let’s go, what time did you arrange to meet with Cheng Ye?"

Zhu Qianying looked at him, not quite understanding. Yan Han then said, "I’ll go with you!"

"Huh?!" Zhu Qianying pretended not to hear clearly and looked up at him.

"I’ll go with you!" Yan Han repeated, "Let’s go, where did you arrange to meet?"

Yan Han spoke while he stuffed his bag and the baby boy’s backpack into Zhu Qianying’s arms, picked up their son, and strode out of the office.

Ke Kai had called him late last night when he’d already gone to bed. He wanted to strangle the person on the other end of the phone when it rang.
