Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Just Want, Both of Us to Be Happy

The three little brats spent over an hour browsing the market, hollering and bustle before finally climbing back into their cars.

They had agreed to have lunch at Young Master Yan’s house, so all the seafood they purchased was placed in the back of the bodyguard’s car.

Zhu Qianying was the first to get into the car, while the Baby Boy clamored up as well, hands and feet all over the place, and Young Master Yan followed right behind him, reaching out his hand to support him by the butt, giving it a firm boost.

Baby Boy turned his head and smiled at him, "Thank you, Daddy!"

With that single, radiant smile, Young Master Yan felt all the hardship he had suffered today was worth it.

Once he was inside the car, before it even got moving, Zhu Qianying handed him a wet wipe, "Wipe your hands!"

She wouldn’t admit that she had initially forgotten that a finicky man like Eldest Young Master Yan might be overwhelmed by the rich natural aroma of the marketplace.

However, noticing him lagging behind, it finally dawned on her that expecting a man like Young Master Yan, who insisted on keeping his shoes spotless all the time, to enjoy a stroll in the marketplace felt like asking for his life.

Thus she decided to tease him a bit, noticing that he was clearly uncomfortable but trying to act as if nothing was amiss as he trailed behind their son, going east when his son said east, and west when his son said west.

Seeing that he was so patient, Zhu Qianying purposely gave him all the items they had bought. She was curious whether he was simply indulging their son or her as well.

It turned out, this man was just as indulgent towards her as he was towards their son.

Moreover, he seemed to be increasingly unwilling to delegate tasks to others. He carried the items Zhu Qianying gave him until both of his hands were full before he allowed Qin Xiu to carry some of them. As for the bodyguards trailing behind, even though they watched their young master being directed like a laborer by their young mistress and wanted to help, they were kept at bay by the young master’s stern glare.

Young Master Yan took the wet wipe and meticulously cleaned his hands. Zhu Qianying then handed him another one, "Wipe your face too!"

Young Master Yan took it silently and wiped his face.

"Young Master Yan, you don’t have to do this!"

After he finished wiping his face and threw the wipe into the trash, Zhu Qianying stared at his profile and said seriously.

Once Young Master Yan had cleaned his hands and face, Baby Boy climbed onto him, nestling lazily in his arms while swinging his short legs and humming tunes. It was clear that he was in a great mood.

He was so pleased that he ignored his parents’ conversation.

Children are perceptive. The recent atmosphere and vibes between his parents made him feel secure, and he was less concerned with their conversation.

"Hm?!"

Young Master Yan was clearly unsure of Zhu Qianying’s meaning. He shuffled Baby Boy more comfortably into his lap and only then lifted his gaze to look at Zhu Qianying.

His eyes were very dark and bright. The teasing and indifference that were often present in his eyes before were now almost absent.

Just like at this moment, he was looking back at her with serious and affectionate eyes, as though she were his most treasured possession.

"You’re a cleanliness freak, aren’t you?" Zhu Qianying admitted that sometimes she could be a tad wicked.

"Yes, but I’m gradually overcoming it!"

Young Master Yan thought he had tried so hard but was still displeasing to Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying, realizing his misunderstanding, hastily waved her hands and explained, "No, that’s not what I meant!"

Actually, if you put enough effort into understanding it, this man isn’t hard to understand.

Sometimes, he’s even candidly cute!

"Then what..." Young Master Yan was even more puzzled.

He had gone this far and she was still unsatisfied?

Young Master Yan’s slightly furrowed brows betrayed his inner turmoil.

Zhu Qianying internally cursed her lack of eloquence. What was a simple subject seemed to be spiralling into a complex mess in her hands.

"What I meant to say is, you don’t need to change!"

Young Master Yan looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Everyone has their likes and habits, like how you can’t stand dirty environments, and I dislike having to exchange hypocritical pleasantries at cocktail parties. You’re you, just be yourself. You don’t need to change your likes and habits to please me."

Zhu Qianying understood that trying to mold oneself forcibly into someone else’s preferred shape wouldn’t be satisfying for either party. It would be uncomfortable for the one being molded, and awkward for the one watching.

Seeing that Young Master Yan was still deep in thought, Zhu Qianying continued.

"I don’t have any desire to control others. I prefer when people interact with me in their most relaxed state, so I too can behave in a similar manner. So, what you did just now, forcing yourself to adapt to Baby Boy and me, may have felt like a way to make me happier, since you changed so much for my sake. But I’m telling you, I’m not happy."

Zhu Qianying also recognized that she was hard to please. A proud man like Young Master Yan was willing to go this far for her and Baby Boy, and she was not happy?

But the fact is, she wasn’t happy.

Young Master Yan, after listening to Zhu Qianying’s long-winded explanation, surprisingly didn’t get angry, but instead asked calmly.

"So, what should I do to make you happy?"

He wasn’t angry because he could tell that Zhu Qianying had no ill intentions.

It seemed like she was trying to say, ’If he’s unhappy, then she’ll be unhappy’, so she’d rather he remain himself. If he’s happy, then she’ll be happy.

This chain of cause and effect was a delightful breakthrough for Young Master Yan.

It seemed like she was attempting to maintain a happy coexistence with him, and was looking for a method of interaction that could make both parties happy.

This proactive attitude was something he had never seen from her before.

"You can just be yourself. If you dislike the smell of the market, and can’t bear its hustle and bustle, then you can tell Baby Boy and me directly. You can wait in the car for us and we wouldn’t be angry because of this. Right, baby boy?"

Baby Boy, who had been lost in his own world humming songs, naturally picked up the conversation.

"Yes, it’s just like how I don’t like eating durians, but mommy and grandmother never force me to eat them."

"But if I told mommy and grandmother that I like durians when I actually don’t, then I would have to pretend I like them and that would be painful for the rest of my life!"

One must admit, Baby Boy was a clever child.

After listening to Zhu Qianying and Baby Boy’s explanation, Young Master Yan thought for a moment and said.

"You guys have misunderstood. Indeed, I didn’t use to like the smell of the market and couldn’t stand its noise, but that was in the past."
