Chapter 441: Chapter 441: He’s Quite Pitiful Too

Unless he himself fell down, the probability of him dropping the baby boy was zero.

The little boy nuzzled his head in his neck and mumbled, "Dummy..." shortly before drifting back to sleep.

As the instigator of the chaos, Zhu Qianying was frightened and relieved to see that her son was unharmed. She reached out to pat her son’s back and glared fiercely at Young Master Yanhuang.

Young Master Yanhuang felt a bit guilty, much like a child caught red-handed doing something wrong. He coughed awkwardly twice.

Zhu Qianying had no words for him. Seeing her son had fallen asleep again, she quickened her pace and walked ahead.

Naturally, her approach was quite childish.

With Young Master Yanhuang’s long legs, he could cover in one stride what took her two.

Indeed, she hadn’t gotten far when the momentarily left-behind Young Master Yanhuang quickly caught up with her.

"Ying’er, I’m sorry!"

Young Master Yanhuang’s apology was sincere.

Although legally they were still a couple, in reality, they were more like close friends at best.

For a man to gaze at a female friend as if he was undressing her, under the guise of friendship, is inherently disrespectful and extremely sleazy.

This behavior is considered flirtatious when both parties are willing participants.

Otherwise, it’s nothing short of visual rape!

Zhu Qianying turned her face away, ignoring him!

However, from a certain perspective, she could understand him.

After all, he was only thirty-three, in the prime of his life. Having needs was normal.

Furthermore, if her guess was correct, he probably hadn’t been intimate with another woman during the five years she was away.

As to why she had this notion, she wasn’t sure.

But she had been feeling more and more certain about this recently.

Even though this idea seemed absurd, almost ludicrous.

After all, an affluent, influential, and handsome man like Young Master Yanhuang would surely have many women throwing themselves at him without him having to lift a finger.

While ordinary men might be able to resist power and money, they probably couldn’t resist beauty. Otherwise, there would not be a saying that even the most heroic men can’t resist the temptations of a beautiful woman.

But even if this seemed unlikely, Zhu Qianying firmly believed in her notion.

After mulling over this for a while, Zhu Qianying seemed to understand something and sighed deeply.

"Forget it..."

Thinking about it, he was quite pitiable...

Zhu Qianying wasn’t aware she went from being angered to feeling sympathy for him.

Young Master Yanhuang, who had just been kicked hard by her, had been disheartened. He followed her with his head down, assuming that she wouldn’t talk to him for at least a day or two.

But to his surprise, she forgave him within dozens of seconds.

It seemed that the little boy’s quick-tempered nature was likely inherited from her.

Even though Zhu Qianying softened first, Young Master Yanhuang was still earnest as he said to her.

"I didn’t mean anything by it... Really!"

Young Master Yanhuang felt embarrassed for not being able to control his wandering thoughts.

Indeed, a grown man being unable to control his thoughts was quite embarrassing.

"Mm..."

The two of them felt awkward for a while until Zhu Qianying asked, "These villas must not be cheap, right?"

It was clear to anyone who cared to listen that Zhu Qianying was just looking for something to talk about.

Young Master Yanhuang didn’t dwell on the awkwardness from before, especially since Zhu Qianying already provided him an outlet.

"Indeed, the price is roughly equivalent to five or six 100-square-meter apartments in the city area!"

"That’s impressive! I’m even thinking about working for Yanhuang! Though with my qualifications, I’d probably only be qualified to be a cleaner or something..."

Zhu Qianying certainly had a knack for self-deprecation, but her words reminded Young Master Yanhuang of something.

"Ying’er, have you been following the situation of the Mingxuan Group lately?"

Zhu Qianying was momentarily stunned. To say she hadn’t been following it would be a lie.

After all, when she went to study Hospitality Management at L University, she had naively envisioned returning to Mingxuan Group to make significant contributions after graduation.

But reality always holds a slap in the face. When Zhu Junzhao arranged for her to be a waitress in the lobby during her internship, she realized that her dreams of making a difference were nothing but wishful thinking.

It was then that she fully understood there was no place for her, her mother, and sister Xiao Yu within the Zhu Family or the Mingxuan Group.

"Hmm, I’ve kept an eye on it, but it’s not comprehensive. After all, the media also has its own constraints and taboos."

Actually, regardless of how the world perceives Yanhuang Group or Young Master Yanhuang suppressing the Yi and Zhu families, over the subsequent days, no evidence had surfaced that Yanhuang had intervened in or suppressed anything related to the Yi or Zhu families.

Yanhuang Group’s real estate continued to sell well, and it continued to secure one national-level project after another, as if the Yi and Zhu families were unrelated entities to Yanhuang.

If Zhu Qianying didn’t know the ins and outs of this matter, she probably wouldn’t be as certain that the misfortunes of the Yi and Zhu families were the result of Young Master Yanhuang’s machinations.

Or perhaps, it indirectly showed that with Young Master Yanhuang’s means and influence, dealing with provocateurs like the Yi and Zhu families was as easy as turning his hand.

"Have you ever thought about returning to Mingxuan?" Young Master Yanhuang had weighed this question more than once, but every time, he couldn’t discern her thoughts.

Zhu Qianying was a woman with a strong career ambition, without a doubt.

But whether her ambition lay in jewelry design or hotel management, Young Master Yanhuang wasn’t quite sure.

Zhu Qianying was taken aback by the question. After a moment of silence, she said indifferently.

"Go back for what? It’s not pleasant to be a thorn in someone’s side."

Furthermore, both the Zhu family and the Mingxuan Group were nests of intrigue. Once involved, it would be hard to expect a peaceful resolution.

She, her mother, and Xiao Yu had never sought anything from the Zhu family in the past, and they didn’t hope to gain anything from the Zhu family now. All they wanted was to live a peaceful and happy life.

However, if they were to get involved with the Zhu family or Mingxuan Group, peace and happiness would probably become luxuries.

Upon hearing her words, Young Master Yanhuang swallowed the idea he had been mulling over for quite some time.

If she wanted something, he would get it for her.

If she didn’t want it, there was no need for him to get it.

Even though, it wouldn’t take much effort for him to take over the Mingxuan and Zhu families with their current capabilities.

"You’re right, it’s not necessary! You and the baby don’t need to rely on Mingxuan for a living."

Young Master Yanhuang was unaware that, aside from the Mingxuan Group shares she had planned to return to him as the One Hundred Million, Zhu Qianying still held 5% of the Mingxuan Group’s shares. These were the wedding gift she received from the Ji Family.

Two or three years ago, when the share price of the Mingxuan Group was at a multi-year high, Zhu Qianying had considered cashing in those shares.
