Chapter 417: Chapter 417: No Returns or Exchanges for Promotional Gifts

On the surface, Zhu Qianying appeared indifferent, but she was puzzled. Wasn’t it simply because she didn’t entertain Xing Bailun and his party at the Yan family home? Was there really a need for such anger?

Also, over these past couple of months, he had been less prone to quarrelling or being angry with her. She had even thought his temper had entirely disappeared in her presence!

However, it turned out it wasn’t that he’d lost his temper, but rather that it was slightly restrained, or perhaps forcibly suppressed.

"Master Yan, are you angry?"

Zhu Qianying was known for her fearless demeanor and occasionally took pleasure in others’ misfortunes.

Seeing Master Yan angered, she was delighted deep down. The thrill of revenge quietly surged within her.

Master Yan glared at her, still unwilling to engage.

"I went along with your show of affection, didn’t I? What more could Eldest Young Master Yan possibly be unhappy or angry about?"

Zhu Qianying remained brazen. After all, wasn’t Eldest Young Master Yan often ruthless? She could play that game too!

Master Yan barely refrained from smacking her. He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge in his heart to punish her.

He sneered at her and said gruffly, "You think I didn’t see it? It was you who wanted to show off! You used me without saying, and then turned around saying you’re accompanying me in my show, your face is really thick!"

Zhu Qianying, whose intentions had been exposed, showed no embarrassment. Instead, she playfully touched her face and said, "Is my face really that big? People always say I have a babyface!"

To be honest, Master Yan hadn’t experienced her pretending to be foolish for quite some time.

No, to specify, it had been five years since he’d witnessed it.

Looking at the bright and cunning smile on her face, he froze for a moment. Then, his previous anger and frustration disappeared instantly.

Before, he had been waiting for her to treat him as she used to.

Perhaps because he had waited too long, even he himself had become somewhat disappointed.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly returned to her casual and playful self, as she used to be.

How could he remain angry?

He wished he could rush to her and passionately express his excitement with a kiss.

"Really? Let me see, is it really a babyface?"

Master Yan managed to suppress his impulse and reached out to pinch her face, carefully studying it.

Since she had come to him willingly, there was no need for him to be polite.

Zhu Qianying had intended to tease him because she thought he was angry.

But she didn’t expect Eldest Young Master Yan to change his temper faster than the face-changing technique of Sichuan Opera.

Who could tell her how the previously sullen Eldest Young Master Yan suddenly changed his demeanor and turned into a rogue again?

"Hey, pinching faces isn’t free!"

As soon as the words came out of Zhu Qianying’s mouth, she wished she could bite off her tongue. What was she saying?

"Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of money!" The smirk in Eldest Young Master Yan’s eyes grew deeper.

Even though his words were mischievous and his actions were rascally, his touch was light. Softly caressing her silky skin, there was no sign of impropriety. Instead, it made Zhu Qianying feel as if he was treating her with delicacy and affection, like a rare treasure.

Zhu Qianying tried hard to calm her erratically thumping heart, striving to maintain her usual nonchalant appearance.

"I don’t want money, I just want the person!" She said lightly, raising her eyebrows to look at Master Yan.

The smirk on Eldest Young Master Yan’s face deepened. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Qianying, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, quickly added, "I just want the younger one, not the elder one!"

Master Yan still laughed heartily, "That’s okay! In our shop, buy the small one and get the big one for free! Fair trade to old and young!"

Zhu Qianying choked on her words, nearly choking to death!

Master Yan looked at her with profound, unfathomable eyes, silently watching her, as if waiting patiently for her answer.

Seeing her not speaking for quite some time, he then said, "What do you think, have you made up your mind yet? Once you do, I’ll arrange for the delivery immediately."

Zhu Qianying snorted, "Forget it, I don’t want it anymore, neither the elder nor the younger ones!"

Master Yan withdrew his hand, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Sorry, the system has already arranged delivery automatically. The goods have been sent out, no returns or exchanges!"

The back-and-forth banter was just playful teasing.

But they both knew very well that the half-true, half-joking words were about their relationship and current situation.

In fact, Master Yan was right. The moment he handed over his merchandise to Zhu Qianying five years ago, it had become non-refundable, though he didn’t realize it at the time.

Once he was aware, of course, he had to do everything he could to please the buyer, trying to make her find no reason to return it, better yet, to make her unwilling to return it!

Zhu Qianying despised this shameless Master Yan. But despite her disgust, she was increasingly indulging his persistent advances.

She felt uneasy in her heart. If things continued like this, falling for him once again would be almost unavoidable.

But the problem was, even though she was watching herself step by step into the mire, the resolve to escape was weakening.

Her heart was in a tug of war, and it seemed it couldn’t bear the strain much longer. It was just waiting for the moment of "snap" and to break!

"If you won’t accept returns, I have ways to make the goods unbearable and abandon its owner to run away!"

If her resolve was becoming weaker, then she should try some harsher tricks to scare him away, right?

Zhu Qianying secretly applauded this idea!

But she didn’t know that the goods had already decided to stick to her even unto death, not willing to give up!

Master Yan looked at her, seemingly seeing all the hesitation and wavering deep in her eyes.

"The younger one I can’t guarantee, but the elder one will never leave you."

Saying promises or vows, like he had just done, was something Eldest Young Master Yan was becoming quite good at, almost effortlessly.

"The younger one is my son. Why would he leave me?"

But Zhu Qianying firmly believed that everyone in this world could abandon her, everyone except her son. He would always be by her side.

So compared to love, she still trusted familial love more.

This time, Master Yan didn’t joke around. Instead, he watched her earnestly.

"Ying’er, give me a chance and give me enough time. I will prove to you that, like our son, I will never leave you."

He hadn’t made such promises or confessions in a long time.

Not because he didn’t want to, but because he was afraid that saying such things would scare Zhu Qianying away.

But the current atmosphere made him feel that this time, she probably wouldn’t run away as before.
