Chapter 285: Chapter 285: The Explosive Power of Mr. Yan

Round eight or nine o’clock, a time when the jewelry store was at its busiest, Zhu Qianying, who was supposed to be sitting and tending to her own affairs, decided to pitch in and help the shop assistant when she realized they were swamped.

At one point, while facing away from the entrance and patiently explaining to a customer about the craftsmanship and materials used in one of their rings, she suddenly sensed an unsetting wave of energy from behind.

It was not chilling enough to be deemed frightening, but she could distinctly feel the atmosphere and aura behind her shifting. Most of these changes usually came from new customers walking into the store.

This intuition was something Zhu Qianying had picked up from her many years working in the jewelry store, thus, she didn’t think much of it.

After all, it was no surprise to meet the rich, celebrities, and various other notable individuals in a jewelry store, was it?

Her intuition, indeed, was not wrong.

What she didn’t expect, however, was that the individual causing this atmospheric shift in the store was none other than the same person whose lawful status she acknowledged just an hour ago; the eldest young master Yan, who also happened to be her lawful husband.

This husband of hers appeared at the entrance carrying two large boxes in each hand and dressed in impressively stylish attire. With a strut that exuded an undeniable air of authority, he stepped out of his luxury car, strode towards the store, and walked into the store visibly unmasked and influential.

"Ying Zi, here, hand it over to me!"

Wang Chunsi was the first to snap out of her astonishment. She quickly moved behind Zhu Qianying, tapped her shoulder and signalled her to turn around and look.

Zhu Qianying, although slow at times, vaguely understood that the owner of those sturdy and forceful footsteps she just heard had something to do with her. She initially suspected Xing Bailun or Qi Xiao, but was surprised to find, upon turning around, that it was the eldest Yan master, with whom she had just parted ways in the evening.

"Why are you here?" A few seconds were all it took for Zhu Qianying to regain her composure and adjust her slightly accelerated heartbeat. Even the surprise in her eyes quickly receded, and her tone became as bland as plain water.

The shop assistants were all taken aback. Normally, Zhu Qianying was, although not particularly warm, at least approachable. As the chief designer of Ying Jewelry, she worked in this small branch without putting on any airs.

But her treatment of her husband, who was one of the richest men in the city, seemed a bit too cold.

The man on the receiving end of her cold treatment only responded with a light smile, "The banquet ended a little earlier, and I happened to be passing by, so I decided to drop in and see you!"

Though he appeared only briefly that night, it seemed he had now decided to throw all caution to the wind.

Zhu Qianying, worried that he might embarrass her in front of the staff, quickly scanned the shop. The number of customers had decreased compared to earlier, and her presence or absence would now have less impact.

"Can you wait for me a moment? I’ll wrap things up and be right with you!"

She tried to make herself appear as normal as possible, as if like any other couple, her husband was simply picking her up from work.

But clearly, this was only her wishful thinking. Because her husband was Young Master Yan, even an ordinary act, carried out by him, was doomed to be anything but ordinary.

"Uh-huh, I’ll wait for you!"

Young Master Yan responded with a good-natured smile, turned around, and casually handed one of the boxes he was carrying to a shop assistant, "I just bought these cakes, enjoy!"

Wow! The rich man is treating us to cake!

While it was no more than riding on someone else’s coattails, it was enough to send the shop assistants into elation!

Moreover, the cake that this rich man was treating them to was not just any ordinary cake from a regular pastry shop. Instead, it was supposedly a limited-edition cake, of which only thirty were made each day by a foreign pastry chef in L City.

In other words, it wouldn’t suffice simply to have money to buy this cake. Only those with money, status, and identity like Young Master Yan could get their hands on it.

"Thank you, Young Master Yan!"

Wang Chunsi, who was busy processing a customer’s bank card, thanked Young Master Yan, noticing that the shop assistant was standing still, like a fool, with the cake in her hand.

"You’re welcome. Ying’er can be quite forgetful when she gets busy. I hope you guys could take care of her a little more during such times."

With such a doting statement coming from an attractive and reliable man like Young Master Yan, he instantly won over the hearts of the shop assistants.

That is, except for Zhu Qianying, who was on the receiving end of all this.

At this moment, she wished she could grab the cake from his hand and smash it onto his face.

They had agreed to be a nominal couple, so why did he have to show off by visiting her store?

Zhu Qianying quickly gathered her stuff, handed the keys to her beaten-up car to the security guard, instructing him to drive it to the employee dormitory’s parking lot later, and then, under the envious gazes of the shop assistants, got into the car with the Eldest Young Master Yan.

As soon as she closed the car door, Zhu Qianying turned to Young Master Yan and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by this, Young Master Yan?"

Her tone was far from hostile, but it was definitely not friendly either.

Young Master Yan disregarded her reproach and concern, shoving the cake he was holding into her arms.

"It’s rare to be able to reserve three cakes. One is for the baby boy, and one is for you and mum. I was worried they might not be fresh tomorrow so I thought I’d bring it to you today."

Young Master Yan’s gentle and patient explanation left Zhu Qianying speechless.

Looking down at the cake in her arms, she realised it was indeed a cake that only someone of Young Master Yan’s caliber could seldom obtain. She, an ordinary person like herself, would likely never have tasted it if she hadn’t benefited from Young Master Yan’s generosity.

"Thank you...", Zhu Qianying murmured.

An overpowering sense of helplessness washed over her once again. She was fully aware that this was the result of her own pretentiousness.

Young Master Yan stared at her beautiful profile and remained silent for a while before suddenly asking.

"By the way, do you take private orders?"

"Huh?" Zhu Qianying looked up at him.

"I remember you accept private jewelry design orders, right?"

Young Master Yan remembered very clearly that Mr. and Mrs. Lei recognized Zhu Qianying because they’ve had similar interactions before.

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, I do!"

Somewhere, she already had a clue about the purpose of Young Master Yan’s question.

As expected, in the next moment, Young Master Yan stated.

"Oh, I have a few friends, two of them have daughters about to get married and one of them plans to propose before the Spring Festival. They want you to design their jewelry, what do you think?"

While it cannot be denied that the people Young Master Yan mentioned might have wanted to take advantage of him, they were genuinely the ones reaching out to him, not the other way around.

For Zhu Qianying, when business comes knocking on her door, why turn it down?

No matter how proud she was, she couldn’t afford to be at loggerheads with an opportunity to earn.

More importantly, she had to work for the money she was going to earn; it wasn’t simply falling from the sky.

"Sure, you can pass them my contact information. We can discuss the details in person!"
