Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Like a Fool

Yan Bo’s call came half an hour later.

"Ying’er, I’ve already asked Uncle Hai to arrange for someone to take Star to get her vaccination. The flight carrying baby boy and the elders was delayed and they will probably only arrive after one. You and Mom can have lunch at the Tong Family’s place, I will come to pick you up later to fetch baby boy together."

It had been a while since she last saw her son, so naturally, Zhu Qianying wanted to see him sooner. But after the recent encounter with danger, Zhu Qianying no longer wanted to go pick up her son.

Those people clearly targeted her and her mother. If she were to go with Yan Bo to pick up her son, it would be like bringing danger to her son and the two old men.

Thinking back on the close call earlier, Zhu Qianying still had lingering fears. The kind of luck she had just had is not always available.

"Mr. Yan, my mother and I will no longer pick up baby boy. You can just bring him back directly to the Yan Family. Later, let Brother Chen take us over."

Yan Bo was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, probably guessing her concerns and worries, "Alright then, I’ll pick up baby boy, Chen will send you two home later."

Later, Brother Chen took Zhu Qianying and her mother away. It was clear that he had a lot of experience with such unexpected incidents and was extremely careful.

After he drove away from Tong village, he quickly entered a small alley just like he did on the way here. Although it took an extra hour to reach the Yan Family home, the journey was smooth and nothing suspicious was found.

Worried that her precious grandson might be hungry on the plane, Chen Jing immediately went to the kitchen to prepare some dishes and snacks after arriving at the Yan family house.

Zhu Qianying, on the other hand, sat on the sofa surfing the web. However, she was no longer searching about the Zhu family’s deeds, instead, she was browsing an online shop website.

Over the years, her life had undergone many changes, but her method of alleviating pressure by window shopping on online shopping websites remained constant.

Of course, she has a lot more purchasing power now than she did five years ago.

However, there are far fewer products now that can catch her fancy compared to before.

Even if she didn’t want to admit it, the fact was, after undergoing several years of trials her state of mind had undergone a radical change.

The excitement caused by a little desire and the joy caused by a small surprise had little by little drifted away from her.

She knew that others called this growth.

Yet, she interpreted it as numbness.

This psychological change that resulted from adapting for survival could not be classified as good or bad. Zhu Qianying felt helpless about it, but was aware she couldn’t change it, so she accepted it with resignation.

"Ying’er, there are some new plants in the West Garden, you can go and have a look."

Seeing her sitting there with boredom, Uncle Hai kindly reminded her.

But Zhu Qianying didn’t want to move from the spot she was huddled at. It wasn’t that she was not curious about the garden, rather, she didn’t want to peek too much into the mansion that was once briefly hers.

Here, unlike the small objects on the online shopping site, which she could eventually afford to buy one day, she’ll never have the ability to own this place.

Since she knew she couldn’t get it, why should she learn more about its beauty and create more sadness and desperation?

This realisation was another insight brought about by growth.

"Uncle Hai, let’s do it another day, I’m tired!"

When she first said this, Uncle Hai believed her.

But now, he understood that her ’another day’ was actually an indefinite postponement.

It wasn’t hard to see that her current visit was completely different from the previous ones.

Before, she used to be curious about every corner of the Yan’s house and the plants in the garden, probably because of her occupation.

But after this visit, unless it pertained to her son, she seemed indifferent to everything else. If he remembered correctly, she hadn’t even set foot in the bedroom she used to share with the young master.

"Ying’er, do you remember, you once gave two pots of Chinese Lucky Grass to the Young Master and the Master?"

To confirm his guess, Uncle Hai decided to try one more time.

Zhu Qianying lifted her head and gave him an apologetic smile, "Did I? I don’t remember!"

Her words not only saddened Uncle Hai but also deeply hurt Yan Bo who had just entered the living room.

Whether her words were true or not, it was a blow to Yan Bo.

Over the years, he had taken care of the pot of grass like a treasure. Every member of the Yan Family, including Mr. and Mrs.Yan Bo, didn’t dare to touch it.

The reason he cherished it so much was because it was the only gift he had received from Zhu Qianying.

But the person who gave this gift that he held so dear, had already forgotten about it!

Thus, he was left feeling like a fool for cherishing an ordinary plant that costed only a few dollars.

Actually, he didn’t mind being a fool. He just felt sad.

His bedroom was preserved exactly as it was when she was around. Half of the cloakroom was still allocated to her, with all her belongings exactly where they were five years ago.

All these things which were more important than anything else to him, were apparently worthless to her now. She could easily shrug her shoulders and say, "I don’t remember them!"

"Mommy, mommy..."

A child’s crisp voice called out amidst the jumbling footsteps, forcibly pulling Yan Bo out of the strangely gloomy atmosphere.

The woman in the living room, who had been nonchalant just a moment ago, showed a face of uncontrollable joy upon hearing the call. She swiftly got up, opened her arms and embraced the little boy who ran towards her.

Watching the little boy who was tightly held in Zhu Qianying’s embrace, Yan Bo felt an overpowering surge of jealousy toward his son.

The mother and son in front of him, as if thinking that Yan Bo was not hurt enough, clung to each other tightly and continuously kissed each other’s faces, then they rubbed their cheeks against each other. The sight was annoying.

"Mommy, baby misses you so much!"

Finally done with the kissing and cuddling, the little boy buried his head in Zhu Qianying’s embrace and playfully whispered with a soft voice.

"Mmm, mommy misses baby very much too!" Zhu Qianying openly replied, making Yan Bo even more envious.

Why was it that when she was with him, Zhu Qianying acted nothing like the candid and cute person she was at the moment?

"Really... How much do you miss me..." With his face looking up and eyes squinting in happiness,the little boy asked.

Zhu Qianying opened her mouth and bit his chubby cheek, "Very much, I miss you so much that I want to eat you up!"

The little boy giggled and burrowed into her chest. After a while, he also raised his head and bit her chin, "Hehe, baby also wants to eat mommy up...just like how the big bad wolf eats the little rabbit..."

Yan Bo had a dark line appeared on his forehead. This line, wasn’t it supposed to be his towards Zhu Qianying? How did this rascal steal his line?
