Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Discussing the Daily Life of a Wealthy Woman

The name for the baby boy hadn’t been decided yet, but the name for the puppy was decided upon in half a day by our little friend.

"Let’s call it Star!"

The little boy stated this very seriously, his hands dirty from assembling the dog house. He wiped his face with those same hands, resulting in a face smeared with patches of dirt which made all the adults burst into laughter.

Zhu Qianying didn’t rush to wash the little boy’s filthy hands and face. In her opinion, for a child to get messy while playing was the most normal thing. It simply meant he was having fun and was not bothered by how he looked at the moment.

In this respect, the little boy was more like Zhu Qianying than his father. Unlike his father who was obsessed with cleanliness, he wasn’t bothered about getting dirty. Yan Han, after completing the dog house, immediately ran upstairs to take a bath and change his clothes.

For this reason, Zhu Qianying slightly changed her impression of Yan Han. A man who wouldn’t eat breakfast without first washing his face and hands, and would change into a new set of clothes before bed due to his cleanliness obsession, was now willingly assembling a dog house in the dirt with absolutely no complaints. It showed how deep and affectionate his love was for his son.

"Baby, why did you choose the name, Star?"

The old Yan lady was curious about the puppy’s name; after all, adults lacked the rich imagination of children to understand the reference.

"Because its eyes are like stars! Shiny and so beautiful!"

As the little boy spoke about his new friend, his eyes sparkled just like stars.

"Well, is our little friend Star satisfied with the big house that our little master built for him?"

Zhu Qianying’s question was a bit rhetorical. By this time, Star was already fast asleep in his big house. Could he possibly be dissatisfied?

Not wanting to part with Star, the baby boy decided to stay the night. Zhu Qianying, who hadn’t stayed overnight at the Yan family’s house since her return, bid goodnight to the little boy after dinner and drove away.

Yan Han was not at home that night, because he had to attend an end-of-year banquet for shareholders.

At the banquet, the shareholders inevitably asked about Zhu Qianying.

"Master Yan, I heard that your wife has returned from studying abroad, why didn’t you bring her here tonight?"

Most shareholders had seen Zhu Qianying only once at Yan Han’s wedding. It was customary for the spouses to accompany the shareholders at these banquets. Yan Han was the only exception. Just like the last five years, he attended alone.

However, unlike previous years, when speaking of his wife this year, a rare tender smile spread across his face, which could melt anyone’s heart.

"She’s busy too. It’s the peak sales season for jewelry at the end of the year."

There was an unmistakable pride in his voice.

News of Lady Yan being a famous jewelry designer had somehow spread within high society circles recently. Many people flocked to Ying Jewelry trying to curry favor with Master Yan.

However, Zhu Qianying was rarely in the store, leaving most of these people disappointed.

Similarly, due to Yi Wei’s action that one day, the store staff were now aware that their chief designer was none other than the wife of L City’s richest man, Master Yan.

In other words, the son Zhu Qianying spoke of was the heir to Yanhuang Group.

So, besides the respect they had for Zhu Qianying, there was now an additional hint of envy in their gaze.

Since the day Yi Wei caused a commotion, Zhu Qianying hadn’t returned to the store. Not because she was embarrassed or trying to avoid suspicion, but because she was concentrating on her designs at home.

Therefore, when she stopped by the store after dinner at Yan’s house, she immediately noticed the change in the staff’s attitude towards her, so she called over a few of them.

"Hey, you guys, what’s going on? Am I a monster? Stop sneaking glances at me. If you have something to say, just say it!"

After spending time with the staff, Zhu Qianying realized they were much more innocent compared to the people she had to deal with in her former life in the Zhu family.

The store manager was a woman in her thirties named Wang Chunsi.

"Zhu Qianying, is your husband Yan Han, the CEO of Yanhuang Group?"

Though everyone had more or less guessed this, since Zhu Qianying brought it up, they wanted to confirm it. Perhaps this would also satisfy their curiosity.

Zhu Qianying was at her wit’s end. She thought her marriage contract with Yan Han, which had just over one year left, would be best if not mentioned to avoid further complications when they eventually divorced.

But since the night Yi Wei caused a scene and Yan Han himself appeared, hiding this fact became impossible.

"Yes, so what?"

Since she couldn’t hide it anymore, she simply admitted it. She would worry about the events of the following year when the time came.

Upon hearing her response, Wang Chunsi and the other staff exchanged looks.

They hadn’t expected Zhu Qianying to admit it so casually. If it were someone else with such a high-profile husband, wouldn’t they announce it to the world with great fanfare?

Yet this woman, who seemed like she didn’t belong in their world, often ate the same 20 Yuan takeaway for lunch as them and drove the beat-up car belonging to the store.

Was she really the Lady Yan?

But they had seen Yan Han’s affectionate behavior towards her, and she had just admitted it herself.

"Zhu Qianying, you don’t look the part of the Lady of the Yan family at all!" Eventually, Wang Chunsi voiced the question that was on everyone’s mind.

Zhu Qianying laughed and raised an eyebrow, "What should the Lady of the Yan family look like?"

"At least, you should dress up to reflect your wealth, so everyone can tell at a glance that you’re rich!"

"At least, you should order anything you wish to eat, and a butler would deliver you home-cooked gourmet food!"

"At least, you should be driving a dazzlingly luxurious car that makes us go blind!"

The staff all pitched in to list the traits they thought a rich wife should have.

Zhu Qianying just smiled, saying nothing.

It’s not that she consciously chose to be low-profile, but beyond her title as the Lady Yan, she was not much different from the staff.

Like them, she had to work for her meals.

Like them, she had to plan for her child’s future by purchasing a heap of insurance and investment funds.

In the end, there was no difference between her and them.

However, she chose not to explain this, because even with an explanation, people wouldn’t believe her.

The events that followed would make her question whether she was still the Zhu Qianying who worked for her meals previously.

Was she truly not Cinderella from the fairy tales?
