Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Deep Feelings are All About Flirting

Zhu Qianying held her son, her irate gaze was firmly fixed on Yan’s handsome face. She gritted her teeth, then asked.

"Is the tea good?"

Yan didn’t seem to detect the anger in her voice. He turned his head towards her and flashed her a grin.

"Why don’t you try?" With that said, he brought the cup to her lips, his movements so casual and intimate that it drove Zhu Qianying insane!

Even while she was sitting behind her office desk, looking through documents, what remained in her mind was Yan’s loathsome face.

"Ying Zi, there’s a meeting in a half hour. You should attend!"

Cheng Ye knocked from outside the room, pushed open the door and peeked in to notify her.

"Okay!" Zhu Qianying quickly composed herself and focused on the work at hand.

She hadn’t forgotten that she’d promised to take a couple of days off to spend with her son.

After the meeting ended and everyone else had left, only Zhu Qianying and Cheng Ye remained in the conference room.

"Cheng, I should be able to finish the work I’ve got in about five days."

Zhu Qianying always informed Cheng Ye about anything work-related. As for personal matters, if he didn’t ask, she wouldn’t say.

"Hmm. Will you go straight back to the M country afterwards?" Cheng Ye had yet to finalize his upcoming itinerary.

"No, I plan on spending a couple of days here with the baby boy. He’s rather fond of this place."

Cheng Ye’s gaze darkened. "Will you be with Yan?"

His plans hadn’t been decided yet - he was planning to align them with hers. When she went back to her country, so would he. After all, there were a mound of issues in L City waiting for him to resolve.

Yan and the baby boy’s arrival, however, had disrupted his perfect plan!

"Yes, he brought the baby boy over here, he is responsible for taking care of him. Otherwise, who will look after the baby boy during the few days I still have to work?"

Zhu Qianying immediately gave Yan a legitimate excuse without giving it much thought.

But Cheng Ye knew that the baby boy was very independent. Even if Zhu Qianying was too busy, if she brought him to the office, he could have fun by himself.

"I thought I’d go back with you. Looks like now, I should just book my own ticket!"

Cheng Ye said it with a smile, but Zhu Qianying could hear a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow in his voice.

"I’m sorry..."

Zhu Qianying started to consider whether she should quit her job.

It wasn’t that she wanted to betray Cheng Ye, but she was worried by the stubborn way Cheng Ye was acting.

She didn’t want to hurt him and didn’t want him to sink deeper and deeper into hopelessness.

"Here we go again! Go and get busy with your own affairs. Otherwise, you won’t have the time to spend with the baby boy. I’m a tough boss, I wouldn’t let you go if you don’t finish your work."

Of course, whether or not he was really that tough, both of them knew it was said in jest.

Zhu Qianying, as chief designer of Ying Jewelry, held great responsibility. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she and Cheng Ye shared similar burdens.

Therefore, even though Cheng Ye didn’t demand it, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t allow herself to slack off or cut corners at work.

In the evening, Zhu Qianying drove home by herself. Just as she got out of the car, she heard the clear laughter of her son. Looking up, she saw that in the courtyard, both father and son each held a water hose, spray each other intensely.

Apparently, the two grandpas started out watering the plants, but ended up having a water gun fight.

The climate in M country was similar to L City’s. It was the season where it alternated between warm and chilly. Getting sprayed with cold water all over their bodies, claiming that it wasn’t cold would be a lie.

Yan was sturdy, Zhu Qianying knew that. The baby boy was also in good health, but he might not be able to stand this sort of play!

Watching father and son playing excitedly, Zhu Qianying didn’t feel right about scolding them. She rested her hand on the gate of the courtyard, struggling whether she should turn a blind eye and let the two continue playing or stop them.

One of the father-son duo who was playing in the courtyard was the first to spot her. The two of them seemed to nearly drop their water hoses at the same time and walked towards Zhu Qianying.

Compared to Yan, the little boy’s legs were shorter so he had to run. With his long legs, Yan gracefully took a few steps and was already in front of Zhu Qianying.

"You’re back?"

The tall man asked gently, extending his hand to take her bag.

This felt extremely unusual, even though her mom had done such gestures before.

But the man in front of her was Yan, the Eldest Young Master!

People always greeted him when he finished work, helped him hold his bag, took off his coat and even brought him his slippers.

Now, the Eldest Young Master Yan, who should be enjoying all these services, was eagerly taking her bag. Wouldn’t she be shocked if it were otherwise?

After Yan took her bag, seeing her stunned face, he could barely suppress the elation in his heart.

"Tired out of your wits?"

After teasing her, Yan couldn’t help but lower his head and gently bit her lips, but he drew back as soon as he made contact.

The young master, having seen Yan making moves a few times today, had an even more cheerful and suggestive smile on his face.

"Mommy, baby boy wants a kiss..."

As the boy shouted and wiggled his arms for a hug, Zhu Qianying glimpsed at his wet hair tips and snapped out of her trance. "Behave, stop making a fuss!"

Zhu Qianying, who hadn’t settled accounts with Yan, guided the little boy towards the room.

"Mommy, baby boy wants a kiss..."

The little boy was still nagging. Zhu Qianying patted his head, "Keep shouting, I dare you! I’ll throw you to your daddy and let him kiss you till you get enough!"

Zhu Qianying’s threat was effective, the little boy stuck out his tongue, turned his head away and huffed defiantly.

"I don’t want him to kiss me! That lazy guy who doesn’t shave, his kiss hurts!"

Zhu Qianying found it amusing and couldn’t help but glance at Yan’s chin. In her view, though there was a faint shadow on it, she couldn’t see any clear stubble!

"The little one is complaining about me not shaving a few days ago!" Yan explained, smiling.

Zhu Qianying carefully looked at him a few times, but she found it hard to believe that such a fussy person like him would leave his beard unshaved for so many days. This was truly extraordinary news!

Truthfully, in order to carve out a few days to come here with the boy to visit Zhu Qianying, Eldest Young Master Yan completed a ton of tasks that required his personal touch all at once.

Thus, the young master, who was granted special permission to freely go in and out of his study, got a rare chance to get acquainted with an unusually unkempt Eldest Young Master Yan.

Zhu Qianying was doubtful, but she didn’t ask.

Recently, Yan’ actions were either peculiar, or sharp-witted. Whatever she said or asked, he could twist it into an ambiguous angle.

Seeing Zhu Qianying ignoring him, Yan stroked his chin with a smug expression, pretending to be in deep thought.

"Actually, I think I look quite manly with beard. It’s just that the little fellow is a brat and can’t appreciate it!"

At his vanity, Zhu Qianying responded with an exasperated look, then turned around and walked into the room with the baby boy.
