Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Opening Method Error

Zhu Qianying, who was recovering from her injury at home, didn’t get out of bed until after ten o’clock.

Upon coming downstairs, she saw her baby boy playing on the carpet in the middle of the living room, with the dog Star sitting nicely to one side, wagging its tail and keeping him company.

"Good morning, Mommy!"

The little boy, hearing footsteps, swiftly got up and ran towards Zhu Qianying. He habitually tried to throw himself into her arms but remembered she was injured, so he stopped at a distance and asked with blinky eyes.

"Mommy, did you sleep well last night?"

Zhu Qianying reached out with her unharmed right hand to hold the little boy’s shoulder, "Very well! I slept way past ten o’clock, Mommy is turning into a sleep-loving pig."

As it was almost lunchtime, Zhu Qianying didn’t bother with breakfast and just drank a cup of warm milk. After playing with her son for a while, Uncle Hai and Doctor Du Ting entered the door.

"Sister-in-law, is your wound getting better?"

Zhu Qianying hadn’t seen Doctor Du from her husband’s village, Du Ting, since five years ago. Upon seeing him, she was initially stupefied, then remembered that he was the family doctor of the Tong family.

"Hello, Doctor Du, I’ve improved considerably, thanks for your concern."

Doctor Du was oblivious to the fact that his efforts the previous day had been fully erased by the big boss. He set the medicine box in his hand on the coffee table, but his eyes remained on Zhu Qianying’s face.

"Sister-in-Law, you scared the hell out of the boss yesterday! In my life, I’ve never seen the boss in such a panic. It is just a scrape, why was he so worried about your pain and the risk of infection? Even when he broke his leg, he wasn’t this worried!"

Doctor Du’s teasing left Zhu Qianying looking blank, as she tried to understand it but to no avail. Consequently, she had to ask Doctor Du for clarification.

"Doctor Du, you’re saying Mr. Yan was worried about my pain and the infection risk? Was he really?"

Zhu Qianying remembered that yesterday, not long after returning home and going to bed, she rose to have dinner and then went back to sleep. During that time, Mr. Yan didn’t seem to do anything out of the ordinary, and Zhu Qianying couldn’t remember his saying anything unusual either.

Doctor Du appeared to be briefly taken aback but quickly deduced what had happened.

"I came over yesterday evening, didn’t you know that?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head in confusion. She had been sleeping like a log at the time, so it would have been a surprise if she had indeed known.

"You came over? I had no idea!"

The little boy, who had gone back to playing after he had greeted Doctor Du, looked up and said.

"Mommy, Uncle Du did visit, and he sprayed you with pain reliever."

The pain reliever incident was something he had heard from Mr. Yan after he walked into the bedroom.

Zhu Qianying was embarrassed by the situation and thought, ’was I really that dead asleep?’ She didn’t even notice when Doctor Du was spraying her with pain reliever!

At that moment, she even started to doubt if she was a pig in her past life since she slept so deeply.

"Did he? Thank you, Doctor Du!"

Doctor Du didn’t dwell on the depth of Zhu Qianying’s sleep. It was normal for certain painkillers, which also have sedative components, to induce deep sleep.

"Sister-in-law, you’re being too polite, this is my job. I’m just curious how a strong and capable man like Mr. Yan was scared by a little wound of yours."

Doctor Du was indeed just mocking Mr. Yan, not Zhu Qianying.

When he was helping Zhu Qianying unwrap the bandage over her wound yesterday, Mr. Yan, who was normally unfazed by gore, turned pale at the sight of the wound. If he hadn’t been afraid of waking Zhu Qianying, Doctor Du would have laughed at him heartily.

Doctor Du is a chatterbox. While changing the dressing for Zhu Qianying, he talked about everything from what had happened the previous night all the way to Mr. Yan’s amazing feats over the years. The little boy, who was originally playing on the carpet, was drawn by Doctor Du’s stories and climbed onto the sofa next to Zhu Qianying, listening with great interest.

"At eighteen, Mr. Yan took over all responsibilities of the Tong Family. His mother indeed dared to dream big. She said she and her husband were going to travel the world, and true to her word, she really did drop everything and leave in just a few days. Mr. Yan was an impressive figure; as soon as he was in full control, he made big, bold changes. At that time, many established figures of Tong village didn’t accept him. They deliberately created trouble and stirred up conflicts with their rivals. A variety of problems came one after another, but Mr. Yan never faltered. He addressed each issue head-on. In less than two years, these old figures were all totally subdued and obedient to Mr. Yan..."

Zhu Qianying listened silently without interrupting. However, her son was fascinated by the stories and occasionally exclaimed how "Wow, Daddy is so awesome!"

In fact, as Mr. Yan’s wife, it was the first time Zhu Qianying had heard of these glorious deeds of his.

Of course, there was a time when she ignorantly thought that Mr. Yan was simply privileged and grew up under the protection of his ancestors. But after really getting to know and interact with him, this misconception was completely corrected.

Nonetheless, despite having a superficial understanding, hearing what Doctor Du had to say still left Zhu Qianying utterly astonished.

If, and this was just an assumption, she had not had any interaction or emotional entanglement with Mr. Yan, and she had just heard what Doctor Du had said, she would absolutely consider this man as her idol!

Many of Mr. Yan’s qualities were things she admired. Even though their relationship had reached a thorny stage, she had to admit that she was genuinely won over by this man’s fortitude and audacity.

The hiccup with her and him was probably, maybe, that she opened up to him in the wrong way, which led to the awkward situation they were in now.

After Doctor Du changed the dressing for Zhu Qianying and rebandaged her wound, the little boy became fast friends with this ’Uncle Du’ whom he had only met three times. Because, Uncle Du would tell him many interesting stories about his father.

It was at this moment that Zhu Qianying realized that at some point, Mr. Yan had become a hero in their son’s eyes.

Since the little boy still wanted to hear more about his dad, Doctor Du was coerced into staying for lunch by him.

Zhu Qianying was forced into hearing more about Mr. Yan’s deeds. Surprisingly, none of the stories Doctor Du told her were romantic affairs. She wasn’t sure if he purposefully skipped them or there indeed weren’t many; there wasn’t a single romance in the big bundle of stories crammed into her brain.

Could it really be that Mr. Yan had only one female friend, Yi Wei, who he was on good terms with during his youthful days from his teens to his twenties?

Of course, Zhu Qianying would not ask Doctor Du about these doubts. But she was indeed a little curious about Mr. Yan’s love life before she met him.

After lunch, Zhu Qianying was reading a book in the living room when she received a call from Xing Bailun.

"Ying Zi, I hear you’re injured. Qi Xiao and I were thinking of coming to visit you. Is that convenient?"

Zhu Qianying’s first thought was that this was Mr. Yan’s house, and it might not be appropriate.

But of course, that wasn’t something she could say. Hence, after some hesitation, she replied.

"I was planning to go to the hospital this afternoon for a check-up. Let me see if I can reschedule."

After ending the call with Xing Bailun, she called Mr. Yan.

Note: 炎少 => Mr. Yan

Mr. Yan was both happy and surprised to receive a call from Zhu Qianying.

"Ying’er? Why aren’t you taking your afternoon nap?"

What Mr. Yan actually wanted to say was, ’Why did you think to call me? Do you miss me?’

However, he was afraid Zhu Qianying would be upset, so he didn’t dare say it.
