Chapter 337: Chapter 337: His Spring is Coming
With Zhu Qianying staying in the Yan Family’s house, her little boy naturally wouldn’t run off to sleep with Yan eldest young master anymore. It was as if he feared that Yan would force him to do so: he had barely put down his supper bowl, a layer of fatty food still clinging to his lips, but he clung to Zhu Qianying like a koala bear, not willing to let go.
"Mommy, baby boy will sleep with you tonight!"
Zhu Qianying lifted her eyelid to glance at Yan the Eldest Young Master. He perceiving her query, gave a small smile of acknowledgment.
"Hmm, let him sleep with you. He must have missed you after such a long time!"
After all, he had been away from her for so many days, so it was normal for him to want to cuddle up with her.
However, he missed her more than his child had missed her, and he had been away from her for a longer period of time. But unlike his son, he couldn’t just cling to her and lazily enjoy her presence...
Eldest Young Master Yan, who had secretly wiped away a tear, made a ’let’s press on’ gesture in his heart and teasingly patted the little boy on the butt.
"Does baby boy also love to sleep on mommy’s tummy all day?"
The little boy twisted his head and glared at him in annoyance. He mumbled something, then turned his head away, seemingly uninterested in bothering with him. He buried his face back in the crook of Zhu Qianying’s neck, acting spoiled.
Who could have known the mighty and awe-inspiring boy of the supermarket could transform into a naive child at home?
"You were quite fearsome at the supermarket, but you’ve turned into a troublemaker back home," Yan the Eldest Young Master couldn’t help but continue to tease the young master.
He admitted, he was petty and jealous - after all, Zhu Qianying still wouldn’t let him get close. With his envy, bitterness, and resentment bottled up within him, wasn’t it fair for him to get some relief through his playful comments?
The Young Master, however, bristled like a hedgehog, "You are the troublemaker, your whole family are troublemakers!"
The Young Master hadn’t realized that in his retort, he inadvertently insulted himself too, indirectly admitting what the Eldest Young Master had said about him.
In the end, Eldest Young Master Yan, who had thought he would sleep more peacefully alone, subconsciously checked several times in his half-awake state to see if the little one beside him had kicked away his quilt or had fallen out of the bed.
Then, in his semi-conscious state, he realized that there was nobody beside him, he broke out into cold sweat and sat up, only to suddenly remember that his son was sleeping with his mom tonight. He took a deep breath and slowly lay back down.
Afterwards, he was completely awake and lay in bed with no trace of sleep.
He was reminded of the time Zhu Qianying had left. Those nights, he would often search for her beside him in his half-asleep state.
Every time he woke up completely and saw the empty bed, he would be reminded of her departure. The heart-wrenching pain, unlike any he had experienced before, tormented him over and over again on those lonely nights.
Perhaps, it was from that time on that he truly realized that he had gotten used to her presence.
Or perhaps, it was more than just getting used to her. Unwittingly, he had fallen in love with her!
He turned his head and stared out the window. The hazy moonlight filtered through the window screen, casting faint shadows on the floor. The Chinese Lucky Grass, which had kept him company during countless sleepless nights, seemed to have started sprouting buds, as if it were about to bloom.
Just like its owner, who after years of waiting had finally welcomed his spring.
...
Little baby boy woke up bright and early, and in his good mood emerged from the bedroom singing an unintelligible tongue-twisting song at a very fast pace. He danced and hopped down the stairs all the while maintaining rhythm and beat.
He, Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing were living on the third floor, while the Yan couple and Yan Han were on the second floor. Upon hearing his cheerful singing, the two old men came out of their rooms.
"Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma!"
The little boy didn’t forget to greet the two old men. After greeting them, he continued to sing his incomprehensible song, hopping about as he moved towards the staircase for the next floor.
Just then, Yan, who had come back from running, heard the clear and bright singing of his son as soon as he stepped into the house. After he passed the entrance hall, he immediately saw his son, bouncing down the stairs like a little monkey.
For the first time, the Eldest Young Master witnessed his son in such a carefree and happy state. He knew that having Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing staying here had given his son a sense of security, and thus, his son was completely relaxed, acting like his usual self.
"Good morning, baby!" Yan the Eldest Young Master rushed over and picked him up in a bear hug, and kissed him on the cheek.
The little boy, standing on the fourth or fifth step which put them at eye level, wrinkled his eyebrows in apparent disgust. Then, he raised his hand and wiped the cheek that had been kissed.
"Good morning..." Although he was clearly disgusted, he greeted him reluctantly.
"Baby, Daddy has to work half a day today. Would you like to accompany Daddy? There’ll be a big red envelope in it for you..."
As was custom, Yanhuang Group would have a break before the Spring Festival. Besides transferring the annual bonus and that month’s salary in advance to the employee’s accounts, they would also give out a large ’red envelope’ to symbolize a prosperous year starting and ending on a high note.
"I don’t want to..."
Compared to staying at home with Mommy, Grandma, Grandpa, his Star, and his pets, he didn’t fancy that big red envelope at all!
But, Yan, clever as he was, had caught a fleeting spark in his son’s eyes. So he pointed to his face, saying, "Or, baby, if you give Daddy a kiss, when I’m giving out red envelopes, I’ll pick up an extra one for you?"
Baby boy stared at him with dark, innocent eyes, seemingly deliberating if he should believe him.
"The red envelope is very big. You can buy lots of models!" Yan the Eldest Young Master continued to unscrupulously tempt the little boy.
Nowadays, although the baby boy was the sole heir to Yan and the Tong Family’s billions in assets, influenced by Zhu Qianying’s frugal teachings, and even though he had acknowledged his ancestors over a month ago, the boy was still treated according to Zhu Qianying’s original educational methods by Yan and Yan couple.
Thus, he didn’t really have much pocket money. Naturally, he wasn’t used to wasting money on unnecessary things.
Yan the Eldest Young Master had watched personally as the baby boy carefully handed over to Zhu Qianying the red envelopes given to him by Grandpa and Grandma, saying that Zhu Qianying should keep it for his future tuition needs.
"You can also buy a new scooter..." Yan the Eldest Young Master continued persuading gently.
The little boy rolled his eyes pondering, and suddenly, he leaned towards Yan and pecked at him, then pulling a face, wiped his lips with his hand.
Yan the Eldest Young Master felt a sense of triumph inside, knowing that the baby boy had tasted the salty sweat on his face.
"Good boy, in the afternoon you’ll have to wait at home for daddy to bring back the red envelope. Then, we can go out and buy fun things and good food with it, okay?"
