Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Not Stingy, But Without

"I feel like he still hasn’t given up on Ying Zi..." Qin Xiu kindly reminded his boss.

However, Qin Xiu didn’t doubt the allure of his boss.

But Zhu Qianying had been in M country for many years, and during those years she was always with Cheng Ye. Their feelings, unquestionably, were quite profound.

Having personally witnessed their interactions, Qin Xiu felt their relationship was more than just emotionally deep.

Zhu Qianying’s attitude towards Cheng Ye is quite normal, like a subordinate’s attitude towards their superior and close friend.

But Cheng Ye’s feelings towards Zhu Qianying were a bit more complicated.

The strangest part was, if he can see Cheng Ye’s issue, can’t his boss notice it too?

Yan Bo glanced at him thoughtfully, "I know!"

He was not a fool. How could he miss the unconcealed affection in Cheng Ye’s eyes when he looked at Zhu Qianying?

However, Zhu Qianying had been in M country for five years and their relationship remained as normal superior-subordinate relationship. This indicated that one of them had maintained a clear mind and chosen not to cross certain boundaries.

And this person was clearly Zhu Qianying.

Therefore, Yan Bo didn’t believe that Cheng Ye would achieve what he hadn’t been able to in five years simply by changing the location.

"So, you’re not bothered at all?"

Qin Xiu was surprised. He vividly remembered as his boss had taken action against several major families in L City because of Zhu Qianying going to karaoke with a few friends. Five years later, it suddenly seemed that his boss had let it go?

That owner didn’t seem like himself!

Yan Bo shrugged, indicating he had no answer.

On work matters, Qin Xiu considered himself and Yan Bo to be in perfect harmony. But when it came to Zhu Qianying, Qin Xiu could never understand Yan Bo’s thoughts and actions.

On one hand, he clearly cared about Zhu Qianying, as evidenced by the current condition of the Yi and Zhu Families. On the other, his romantic rival was just on the doorstep, yet he remained so composed and calm. It just didn’t add up!

"Just go about your usual business. Don’t worry, your future boss lady is not going anywhere!"

If this conversation had happened before the Spring Festival, Yan Bo might not have been so confident. But after seeing Zhu Qianying’s reaction on Chinese New Year’s Eve and afterwards, Yan Bo felt more assured.

For a moment, Qin Xiu was reminded of the past five years.

Back then, Yan Bo displayed a similar level of nonchalance. Even though he clearly cared a lot about Zhu Qianying, he always acted as if he couldn’t care less. But when she left, he regretted it.

"Boss, you should be careful!" Now that Zhu Qianying had finally returned with their son, Qin Xiu didn’t want his boss to repeat the same mistakes.

After all, if Zhu Qianying ran away again, the boss wouldn’t just lose his wife, but also his son!

"Hmm, I’m fully aware!" Yan Bo surprisingly didn’t lose patience with Qin Xiu’s repeated lectures.

Qin Xiu said his piece and gave his reminder. Seeing his boss’s unresponsive attitude, he thought, as long as you don’t regret it like five years ago when your wife left, everything should be fine!

Little did Qin Xiu know, the current Yan Bo was completely different from five years ago.

Five years ago, Yan Bo was ignorant, which led to his unwavering confidence.

Now, because of his understanding, he is just as confident.

Anyway, after Yan Family’s driver dropped off Zhu Qianying and Cheng Ye at Ying Jewelry, he parked the car in the parking lot outside the jewelry store before calling Ke Kai on the phone.

"Brother Kai, the Mistress is currently at the jewelry store, send over a few more people."

During this period, both the Yan Family and Tong Family maintained a high level of vigilance.

The Yi family was relatively quiet while there were continuous upheavals in the Zhu and Zhu Families, necessitating constant vigilance.

Zhu Qianying was able to feel all this, hence, she didn’t object when Yan Bo asked her to continue staying at Yan Family for some time. To minimize suspicion, she even lessened her outings. In fact, this was her first time returning to the jewelry store after the Spring Festival.

After all, in this era of the internet, she could finish her work online with exceptional results.

"Ying Zi, the design drawings you sent me last night were excellent. After all, you must’ve done quite a bit of work during the Spring Festival, right?"

Cheng Ye, besides appreciating Zhu Qianying’s dedication, felt more sympathy for her.

Before the festival, he had instructed her to spend a good time with her baby boy. However, she used those ten or more days to design several pieces of jewelry that completely upended her previous design styles.

Seeing these pieces, it wasn’t hard to notice that they were designed according to the domestic consumers’ aesthetics and consumption concepts. Although the products hadn’t been launched in the market yet, and even the finished pieces were not ready.

Nevertheless, Cheng Ye could almost foresee how these pieces of jewelry would lead a trend in the domestic jewelry market.

"It was okay..."

Zhu Qianying wouldn’t tell Cheng Yei that most of the design ideas were inspired by her interactions with numerous prominent families in the Capital City.

Thos encounters helped her understand and position the domestic market acceptance level and aesthetic standards.

Indeed, there is both good and bad in everything, so this saying is absolutely right.

"I’m heading back to M country next Tuesday. Are you coming back with me?"

"Hmm, when the time comes, help me book the flight ticket as well. I will go back with you."

Originally, Zhu Qianying planned to leave after the Lantern Festival. But this Sunday was the 45th wedding anniversary of Yan Bo’s parents. Yan Bo had specifically arranged a celebration party. Even though the party would take place in Yan Family’s home, and Uncle Hai, the all-around butler, was handling all the trivial issues and arrangements, Zhu Qianying couldn’t be absent as the Young Mistress of Yan Family.

"Are you going to take the couple rings today?"

A few days ago, the ruby couple rings designed by Zhu Qianying had arrived in the country. Because the concept was excellent and the finished products looked unique and beautiful, Cheng Ye had discussed with Zhu Qianying and decided to display the rings in the showcase as non-sale items for a few days.

"Yes!"

Cheng Ye asked the Store manager to take out the rings, carefully pack them, and hand them to Zhu Qianying.

"One day, design a ring for me too!"

As Zhu Qianying received the rings, Cheng Ye uttered the words.

"I’ve been so busy lately, are you sure you want to squeeze me further?" Zhu Qianying pretended not to catch Cheng Ye’s implied challenge.

Cheng Ye stared deeply into her eyes, "In two weeks, it’s my birthday. You possibly won’t have time to prepare a birthday gift, so let’s book in advance!"

Zhu Qianying readily agreed, "Yes, we can book in advance!"

Zhu Qianying knew exactly what Cheng Ye wanted, but she, undoubtedly, could not give it away!

It’s not that she was stingy, but because she didn’t have it to give!
