Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Is it Really Just a Coincidence? (Fifth Update)

Yi Wei chuckled twice more, "That’s why I say you are a good daddy!"

After speaking, she seemed to realize the awkwardness, and looked around, "Where’s the baby boy? I didn’t see him."

In fact, she had only seen the baby boy twice, but she pretended to know him very well.

Yan Han did not hide anything, gesturing towards the backyard, "Ying’er is walking the dog with him in the backyard."

Perhaps hearing Zhu Qianying’s name made Yi Wei’s face all the more unnatural. At that moment, the shop assistant called over, "Miss Yi, do you want the dog’s hind toenails clipped?"

Seemingly relieved, Yi Wei hurriedly said goodbye to Yan Bo and his wife and went over.

Yan Han had some questions about pet care to consult with the shop assistant. However, he felt it was not appropriate to stay any longer. Seeing the shop assistant load their purchases onto the car, he opened the backyard door and called out to the mother and son who were happily strolling with the puppy.

"Baby boy, we’re taking the puppy home!"

Originally, Yan Han had planned to buy a dog cage as well, but the baby boy didn’t want the dog to stay in the cage. Instead, he wanted the puppy to sit in the back seat with him.

Yan Bo and his wife sat in the same row with him, while Zhu Qianying and Yan Han sat in the last row of seats.

"Ying’er, Yi Wei running into us was purely coincidental."

Fearing Zhu Qianying might misunderstand, Yan Han whispered in her ear to explain after the car started moving.

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, I know!"

If the baby boy’s desire for a pet was premeditated by Yi Wei, it would mean she had planted a mole in the Yan family.

However, such a scenario, which only appears in cop and robber films, has almost zero possibility in reality.

Yan Han scrutinized her closely, noting her seemingly unconcerned demeanor, which slightly relieved him.

After a while, Yan Han asked again, "Ying’er, are you really not going to head back to Capital City with us? The baby boy would probably be happier with you around."

Zhu Qianying shook her head again, "No, you guys can keep him company just as well. The coming days are my busiest, I won’t have time."

Once Zhu Qianying declined, Yan Han couldn’t find any other reasons to persuade her, so he decided to drop the subject for the time being.

The little boy, holding his new friend, was so excited throughout the journey, chittering non-stop.

However, he wasn’t talking to the elders, but chatting with the puppy; introducing his relatives to it, and mentioning that his cousins also have a puppy. He even suggested a playdate, leaving Grandmother Yan feeling somewhat envious and neglected.

"Grandson, you’re not going to abandon your grandmother for the dog, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianying quickly reassured the elderly woman, "Auntie, the baby boy is a chatterbox. As long as you’re willing to listen to him, he wouldn’t abandon you."

True words. Grandmother Yan also realized after spending more time with the little boy that he was becoming more and more talkative.

His current chattiness with the puppy was probably because they were still in their "honeymoon" phase.

Back at the Yan family home, Yan Han simply had the pet store staff unload the items like the dog house into the backyard before sending them away.

"Baby boy, would you like to assemble the dog house with Daddy?"

The little boy enjoyed assembling models, so Yan Han guessed he would also enjoy assembling the dog house.

The little boy was in a very good mood that day, so upon hearing Eldest Young Master’s suggestion, he excitedly clapped his hands in agreement.

"Great! I want to assemble the dog house."

The Eldest Young Master reached out his hand, and after a moment’s hesitation, the little boy finally placed his small hand on his big one.

Zhu Qianying watched as the two of them headed towards the heap of dog house assembly materials and instinctively retreated into the room.

This was something that she would have done with her son before; now it was Yan Han, as the father, who was doing it, which was only natural.

Back in the room, Grandmother Yan had Uncle Hai bring the tea set out to the terrace. The three of them sat on the terrace, chatting and occasionally glancing over at the garden where the grandfather-grandson duo was busily assembling the dog house.

The newly purchased puppy was getting familiar with its surroundings by wandering around in the grass. Occasionally, it would return to the duo, curiously watching them for a moment before walking away again.

During the casual conversation, Grandmother Yan brought up the matter regarding the couple rings.

"Ying’er, your uncle and I both like these couple rings a lot. Check how much they cost and I’ll have Ah Hai transfer the money to your account later."

Zhu Qianying waved her hands in refusal, "Auntie, those rings aren’t worth much money, think of them as a wedding anniversary gift from me to you and Uncle!"

Grandmother Yan exchanged glances with Yan Bo, "Ying’er, we appreciate your thoughtfulness. Now that you’re on your own, supporting two people is hard and not easy. We’ll pay for the rings. I heard from Xiao Han that you have a lot of special little things. Why don’t you send one to me? Let me see it?"

Mentioning money, Zhu Qianying recalled the issue with the stock transfer forms in Yan Han’s office earlier, which made her a bit headache.

It seemed all rich people like to make a fuss about money, didn’t they?

"Auntie, the rings aren’t worth much money, and to me, it isn’t a large sum at all. As for the hardships, there are none. My mother was a Food Consultant in M country previously, and her salary was quite high," Zhu Qianying said.

She just wanted her son to be able to enjoy the fatherly love he had missed for several years, as well as the affection of other elders of the family. She did not want to have any financial dealings with the Yan family.

Seeing his wife leading the conversation, Yan Bo chimed in.

"Ying’er, we are very grateful to you for bringing back the baby boy. He is your son, and also Xiao Han’s son. Regardless of the state of your relationship now, it is undeniable that he is both of your responsibilities. Over the past five years, you have made many sacrifices that we can neither compensate nor make up for. But at least, from now on, Xiao Han must fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Whether it is emotionally or materially, he needs to share this responsibility with you. Do you agree with this?"

Yan Bo’s words made sense and hit all the right emotional chords, leaving Zhu Qianying struggling to find any suitable reasons to refute it. Therefore, she simply nodded.

Yan Bo continued, "These words should be coming from Xiao Han, but he worries you might overthink, so he asked us to talk to you. He’s willing to cover half of the baby boy’s living expenses and any other costs."

Zhu Qianying remained silent for a while before finally nodding her head.

"Okay, I’ll consider it when I get home."

Even though it seemed like a roundabout way of giving her money, Yan Bo was right in saying that Yan Han was also the father of the boy and he certainly had an obligation to bear half the responsibility.

Just like she had no right to deny Yan Han the title of being a father, she was obliged to accept half of the child’s living expenses. After all, it wasn’t an issue of whether she was willing to accept it, but rather, she had
