Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Plan Number One, Failure

Qin Xiu knew that Zhu Qianying had once quarreled with Mr. Yan over buying a house, but that was five years ago.

Now, he assumed that the relationship between Mr. Yan and Zhu Qianying had changed.

But the fact was, apart from having a son, not much was different between the two.

...

The next morning, Mr. Yan woke up at his usual hour due to his biological clock. There wasn’t much time difference between M country and their home country. Mr. Yan woke up after a few hours of sleep, feeling refreshed. He went out for a run and when he returned to the villa, he saw Zhu Qianying and their baby boy wearing gloves and trimming the plants in the courtyard.

Seeing Mr. Yan, their baby boy broke into a smile, "Daddy, morning!"

Mr. Yan casually closed the courtyard gate, "Good morning, baby. I thought you guys would sleep in a bit."

The hospital’s department where they would get proof won’t be open until nine in the morning, so the mother and son could have enjoyed a good sleep in.

Zhu Qianying was clipping the branches and leaves, "If these plants aren’t trimmed, they’ll be ruined!"

Her meaning was clear, she specifically woke up to trim the plants.

"From now on, I’ll hire someone to regularly clean and trim the plants. It’ll be more convenient for you when you come back now and then for work."

As Mr. Yan spoke, he stepped next to the mother and son.

"We’ll see. I’ll be quite free after I finish my work for this period. Besides, I need to help mom with the private restaurant business."

Zhu Qianying meant to say that she’d be away for a considerable time and wouldn’t be back, so there’s no need to hire anyone to clean the house regularly.

Furthermore, there’s a slim chance she’d stay here if she had to come back for work alone.

The reason they suddenly returned this time was because their son was eager to visit home. They can easily get the place cleaned before their next visit, so there’s no need to hire someone to take care of it.

After hearing this, Mr. Yan couldn’t insist. When she mentioned the private restaurant, he said, "Yes, all the licenses for the private restaurant have been settled. Has mother told you?"

"No, I’ve been so busy these few days that I didn’t ask."

As the two discussed household matters, one was clipping foliage while the other helped by pulling away the cut branches. They worked well together in these little tasks.

As for their son, he initially listened attentively to his parents’ conversation. But he quickly lost interest in their mundane talk; he dropped the secateurs and ran to the freshly turned patch of soil to watch the worms crawling out.

Zhu Qianying and Mr. Yan didn’t find their conversation boring and continued chatting casually.

Then, Mr. Yan suddenly recalled what Qin Xiu had mentioned the night before.

"By the way, Qin Xiu is planning to buy a seaside villa. He said he’d hold a party there when you return so that all the children can have a get-together. Do you have any objections?"

"No problem, I’ll be free after this busy period." Zhu Qianying had no issues with anything that could make their son happy.

Mr. Yan looked at her, pondered for a bit before speaking again.

"The villa that Qin Xiu is buying is part of Yanhuang Group’s latest property offering. I quite fancy the villas there. I’ve also considered, if our son likes the environment there, we could keep a bigger villa with a nice view. We could occasionally stay there for a few days, for either vacation or relaxation."

Zhu Qianying ceased what she was doing and turned to look at him, confused.

"For such things, you should ask our son, not me!"

As expected, she wasn’t swayed by the allure of a luxurious villa!

At first, Mr. Yan thought he was patient. He was ready to play the long game if she wanted to drag things out.

But now it seemed, he wasn’t as patient as he thought.

Especially during the past ten days when she was abroad, his heart felt empty. Even though he would see her on his computer screen every night thanks to their son, but it wasn’t nearly enough!

Compared to the past when he couldn’t see or touch her, the agony of being able to see but not touch her now was unbearable.

This heartbreaking anxiety kept Mr. Yan restless every night.

So, after hearing Qin Xiu’s talk last night, Mr. Yan was filled with hope again.

Qin Xiu wasn’t wrong - women generally like luxury bags, jewelry, luxury cars, and houses. One of them would usually be enough to win a woman’s heart.

But Zhu Qianying seemed to be an exception. No matter what Mr. Yan offered her, even all at once, she remained indifferent.

He thought that while she might not fancy a regular apartment, a seaside villa with a beautiful view could surely arouse her curiosity or good impression. And he was careful enough to involve their son as an excuse and cover, but she still remained unmoved.

"What about you, what do you think?" Mr. Yan, thick-skinned, pursued her thoughts.

Secretly, he clenched his teeth in frustration. He had to put up with such a stubborn woman!

"No thoughts..."

Zhu Qianying shrugged her shoulders. Although she didn’t outright say "it doesn’t concern me", her implication was as obvious as ever.

Mr. Yan’s villa seduction plan ended in failure.

"Why don’t you take a look then and give me some suggestions? It’s hard to come to a conclusion just by imagining it."

Out of utter helplessness, Mr. Yan decided to take a step back. He hoped that she would at least agree to visit the villa with him.

He was in a rush to secure a villa by the seaside mostly because things in L City had mostly settled down. For now, there shouldn’t be anyone posing a threat to Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing’s safety.

So, when Zhu Qianying returns to their home country, she might directly go back to her apartment.

But Mr. Yan had already gotten used to living under the same roof with her over the past days, although they lived in separate rooms.

Now that he wouldn’t see her all the time, he was unsure what to do.

Besides, there’s a saying about love: the nearer water is the first to get the moon. Cheng Ye would soon be settling in L City. If Mr. Yan didn’t bring her back under his watch, he would be helpless if anything happened to her.

Zhu Qianying giggled softly, "Mr. Yan, asking me to look at the house and give suggestions is like asking you to help me inspect jewelry and provide professional opinions. Isn’t that superfluous since you’re the CEO of Yanhuang Group? You know the pros and cons of the property better than anyone."

Zhu Qianying wasn’t stupid - Mr. Yan’s words were an invitation for her to join him in inspecting the villa as his wife. Once the house was bought, he could use it as an excuse to invite her and their son to stay there occasionally.

Indeed, the prospect of such a loving and harmonious family scene was intoxicating.

But she and Mr. Yan were adults. They knew well that such seemingly ideal situations were pretenses, so why bother with these deceptions?
