Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Just Right for a Confession
Zhu Qianying stole a glance at Yanhuang’s Young Master, who was attentively brushing honey on the corn, and couldn’t help but tease him.
"Ha, have you ever thought how much this corn could sell for if we auctioned it? Being personally grilled by the president of Yanhuang Group, this gimmick alone must be worth a fortune, right?"
Eldest Young Master Yanhuang ignored her, only focusing on carefully brushing layer upon layer of honey onto the corn.
Zhu Qianying watched for a while before teasing him again, "This corn must be so sweet with all the honey you’re brushing on!"
Before Yanhuang could reply, a small head suddenly appeared between the two of them, looking at each of them with a cheeky grin.
"Not too sweet, just sweet enough for a confession!"
The one behind this mischievous smile was none other than, the Baby Boy.
At this moment, the sun had just dipped below the horizon, staining the ocean waves and the fine, white sand with a thin layer of red. The lush palm trees took on a golden hue. The whole world was glowing like a scene from a fairytale.
The sound of the waves and the rustling of the wind through the palm grove, even the playful words of Baby Boy, sounded incredibly soothing in Zhu Qianying’s ears as they echoed around the picturesque surroundings.
Zhu Qianying raised her eyelids to look at Yanhuang. He was also looking steadily at her.
Zhu Qianying could clearly sense her heart pounding at an alarming rate. She thought she was going to hear something...
Just as she was about to look away, Yanhuang dropped his gaze first, placing his big hand on the Baby Boy’s head, and gave it a rub. "Baby, don’t blurt out nonsense. Here, have a skewer of mushrooms and go eat it on the side."
Baby looked at Mommy, whose face was either blushed from the evening glow or out of embarrassment, and then turned back to stare at Yanhuang, "Hmmph, coward!"
After contemptuously mocking Yanhuang, Little Boy ungraciously snatched the grilled mushrooms and scampered away.
Yanhuang, unfazed, placed the well-grilled mushrooms on a plate and presented it to Zhu Qianying. "Ying’er, the mushrooms are done. Have a rest and eat these. I’ll bring over the corn once it’s done."
The self-taught Eldest Young Master Yanhuang had managed to grill the mushrooms in the style of Zhu Qianying. They were surprisingly juicy and aromatic, and the taste was exceptional.
Originally, Qin Xiu and the others had planned to heavily criticize Yanhuang’s cooking skills. However, after each taking a bite of the mushroom, they found it so delicious that they couldn’t utter a single word of criticism.
"Ying’er, you need to keep an eye on Yanhuang for me. Don’t let him do so much of the housework anymore. Otherwise, we mere mortals have no chance of surviving," Qin Xiu pleaded with a bitter face.
Last time, Zhu Qianying posted a few pictures of "the fallen deity" on Weibo. After Qin Xiu shared it, the next day, Shao Shan saw it and also demanded him to help with the housework after work.
Recently, Qin Xiu had been so exploited by Yanhuang that he could easily just drop onto the floor at the Entrance Hall to sleep when he got home – how could he have any energy to do household chores?
However, Shao Shan drew Yanhuang’s picture on Weibo and said, "Look at Yanhuang. He’s busier and works harder than you do, yet he still helps Ying Zi with the housework. You’re neither as wealthy nor as good-looking as Yanhuang, so why are you not helping with the housework at all?!"
After a long lecture like this, Qin Xiu had been forcibly trained by Shao Shan to become a handyman at home in recent days!
Zhu Qianying did not respond to Qin Xiu’s words either.
Instead, it reminded Shao Shan and An Lan, who unanimously grabbed Qin Xiu and Ke Kai and led them to the grill to learn from Yanhuang.
"Go learn from Yanhuang and grill us some delicious skewers."
After having gone around for a while and come back to get fruits, Baby Boy saw three women casually sipping tea and chatting at the table, and then glanced at the three men lined up in front of the barbecue grill, "Huh?"
Then he looked curiously at the three women, "Is it Women’s Day today?"
The women found Baby Boy’s words amusing. An Lan pinched his chubby cheek, "Baby Boy, do you even know what Women’s Day is?"
"Of course, March 8th! But that was a while ago, wasn’t it?" Baby Boy knew.
Then, he stared at the three men in front of the grill, pondered for a while, and finally figured it out.
"Ah, I get it now. As long as you have a good husband, every day can be Women’s Day!"
Pfft!
All three women, who were enjoying an everyday Women’s Day, couldn’t help but burst into laughter after being teased by Baby Boy.
"Oh, Ying Zi, Baby Boy is just too adorable. I was planning on getting married and having children in a couple of years, but now seeing how cute Baby Boy is, I kind of can’t wait and want to get married and have a cute baby immediately!"
Baby Boy, having his face twisted and kneaded by An Lan’s "demonic claw," could only endure and then scurried off.
An Lan looked at Baby Boy running away and was lost in thoughts for a moment before finally sighing.
"Ying Zi, raising a child up to be like the Baby Boy isn’t easy, is it?"
To a career woman, getting married and having kids is a real challenge and a significant turning point.
So, making a choice and decision between the two is indeed challenging.
Zhu Qianying initially chose to have a child out of desperation to escape from the Zhu Family.
If she were in the same position as An Lan now, she would probably not wish to get married or have children either. Instead, she would want to fully enjoy her love life and the satisfaction her work brought her.
Therefore, on the matter of getting married and having kids, Zhu Qianying felt that she really didn’t have any standing to advise An Lan.
Shao Shan, however, was incessantly egging An Lan on, "Then go get the marriage certificate tomorrow. After all, Yanhuang promised just now, didn’t he? Once you guys get married, you may choose any house nearby you like."
Among Yanhuang’s subordinates, Qin Xiu and Ke Kai were the closest to him. Perhaps due to their similar ages, or maybe because there were some inherent similarities among the three of them.
Therefore, in additional to a superior-subordinate relationship, they also developed a friendship in private.
To many, Yanhuang might seem callous or quirky, but those who know him understand that he’s just not keen on socializing. In fact, he treats his subordinates very well.
This was why over the years, many of the management staff in the Yanhuang Group and even in Tong Village have been faithfully following Yanhuang.
When Yanhuang came over with the grilled corn, Shao Shan confirmed with him again.
"Yanhuang, if An Lan gets the marriage certificate with Ke Kai tomorrow, you really will give them a house nearby, right?"
Without even thinking, Yanhuang nodded and affirmed, "Of course! My word is my bond."
Next, Ke Kai brought over the food that An Lan liked - a few skewers of eggplant and a couple of squid skewers.
