Chapter 351: Chapter 351: She’s Afraid of Yi Wei? What a Joke!

After lunch, everyone sat in the living room to chat, planning to take a nap after letting the food settle.

Having been a busy little worker all morning, the baby boy yawned continuously after eating, and soon fell asleep in Zhu Qianying’s arms.

Seeing the little boy doze off, everyone decided to go to their bedrooms for an afternoon rest. However, at that moment, the Uncle hastily came in, his face showing a somewhat strange expression.

He glanced at Zhu Qianying, before he shifted his gaze to Young Master Yan Han, "Young Master...."

Zhu Qianying had an inkling that this might have something to do with her, anticipating that more of the Zhu family might come to visit.

Yan Han also looked at Zhu Qianying, his guess was similar to hers, thinking that Zhu Zhizhou had returned.

"What is it?"

The Uncle hesitated for a while before whispering softly, "Master Yi and Miss Yi are outside the front door...."

After saying this, the uncle cast another covert glance at Zhu Qianying.

Yan Han’s face remained expressionless, but he too looked over at Zhu Qianying, who pretended not to have heard, clutching her son tightly, ready to stand up. "I’ll take the baby up for his sleep first... "

Unexpectedly, before she stood up, Yan Han grabbed her arm, "Ying’er, you are the lady of the house, you should stay and entertain the guests."

Zhu Qianying cursed inwardly but in front of Yan Bo and his wife, she couldn’t outright refuse. She felt obliged to say, "Xiao Han has been particularly clingy these past few days. I’ll go put him to sleep and come down later."

Zhu Qianying intended to delay dealing with the situation, but Yan Han did not fall for it.

"Mom, you can accompany our son to sleep instead," proposed Chen Jing, taking the baby from Zhu Qianying’s arms and heading upstairs first.

Madam Yan, of course, understood the intentions behind her son’s action and therefore agreed with him.

"Ying’er, we are aging. This house has been Young Yan Han’s to manage for quite some time. You should stay and keep him company."

As the elder, after Madam Yan had spoken, Zhu Qianying had no more excuses to refuse.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she was Yan Han’s wife, and if Yan Han were at the helm of the household, she was indeed the lady of the house.

If a guest visits and the hostess intentionally avoids them, upon getting out, it would only open Yan Han up to ridicule for having a wife who cannot handle social situations.

"Aunt... "

Zhu Qianying was in a dilemma. Morally, she really should stay because she had promised Yan Han that for a year, they would act the part of a loving couple in public.

Despite this, rationally speaking, she did not want to remain.

Yes, she admitted, she did not want to meet Yi Wei!

She’s not a masochist, so she doesn’t want to make herself unhappy.

Moreover, given the way the other party came knocking, who knows whether they’ve come to reminisce old times with Yan Han or to castigate him?

"Ying’er, we’ll all stay and back you up if anything happens."

Madam Yan was unaware that her son had completely fallen out with the Yi family, suspecting that Yi Wei was only coming to make trouble.

Although, in the eyes of Madam Yan, Yi Wei had no position or identity to cause a scene, she felt it was not surprising for Yi Wei to act in such a manner.

Zhu Qianying laughed bitterly. Frankly, she didn’t need anyone to back her up.

After all, what Yi Wei coveted was nothing more than the title of ’Madam Yan’, a title for which Zhu Qianying had no specific attachment.

However, this couldn’t be openly suggested to Madam Yan.

Left with no other choice, she sat in the living room, waiting patiently for the arrival of the important guest..

Once Yan Han had taken the baby to Chen Jing’s bedroom, he quickly came back down the stairs and naturally sat down beside Zhu Qianying.

Extending his hand, he gently pinched Zhu Qianying’s hand on her lap and whispered, "Don’t worry, she won’t do anything."

Zhu Qianying gave him a smile, thinking to herself that she couldn’t care less what Yi Wei would do!

She simply did not want to see Yi Wei. Why did both Madam Yan and Yan Han think she was afraid of Yi Wei?

Without leaving a trace, Zhu Qianying pulled her hand out of his and reached for the cup on the coffee table.

She had made up her mind to act as if she didn’t see or hear anything, no matter what occurred; to speak as little as possible, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble for herself.

Soon, the voice of the uncle greeting the guests came from the entrance hall. The Yan Bo couple stood first, followed by Zhu Qianying. Seeing this, Eldest Young Master Yan Han, who was lazing on the sofa, could only stand up as well, putting his arm around Zhu Qianying’s shoulder, following behind his parents to greet the guests.

"Brother Yan, Sister Huai, I’m sorry to interrupt!"

Yi Changxing, who was walking in the front, handed a gift box to Yan Bo.

"Changxing, no need to be so generous. Just coming to sit and chat would have been enough!"

Yan Bo handed the gift box to the Uncle and led Yi Changxing into the house.

"Uncle, Aunt, Han...,"

Following Yi Changxing, Yi Wei and her two younger brothers came in, but, all three of them consciously ignored Zhu Qianying, as if she didn’t even exist.

Zhu Qianying found it amusing. Did the Yi family not even understand basic etiquette?

Or did they think Zhu Qianying did not deserve any form of address by them?

Yan Han did not even spare a glance at Yi Wei and her brothers. He took Zhu Qianying and turned to go back into the living room. Madam Yan also felt that the three siblings were overstepping the boundaries. Regardless of the current state of feeling between Ying’er and her son, they were still a married couple, and that fact was undeniable.

"Xiao Wei, come here, you haven’t met your sister-in-law, right?"

Madam Yan pulled Yi Wei over and gestured to introduce Zhu Qianying.

"This is Ying’er, your brother Han’s wife, and the mother of the baby. She has been studying abroad and recently returned to the country. I suppose, you all have not met before."

After being introduced this way by Madam Yan, although unwilling, Yi Wei still extended her hand to Zhu Qianying, "Ying’er, right? I’m Yi Wei, I’m older than you."

The meaning behind her words was clear: ’If you’re expecting me to call you sister-in-law, think again.’

Zhu Qianying was not so keen on being called ’sister-in-law’ anyway. She reached out and lightly shook hands with Yi Wei in a perfunctory manner.

Yi Wei’s two younger brothers, due to Madam Yan’s coercion, finally obediently called out "sister-in-law" to Zhu Qianying.

Yan Han was extremely indifferent towards the three siblings. No, more correctly, he was absolutely indifferent towards the whole Yi family.

Once the family had made the four guests comfortable in the living room, Yan Han took Zhu Qianying to his usual spot on the sofa, letting her sit on the inside, and himself sat casually on the armrest, hand on Zhu Qianying’s waist, body leaning towards her.

"Changxing, are you planning to travel tomorrow? You’re paying the New Year’s greetings quite early!"

Knowing the real reason behind his son’s resentment against the Yi family, Yan Bo blocked Yi Changxing’s potential appeal as soon as he started speaking.

As expected, Yi Changxing’s face changed slightly. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.
