Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Zhu Qianying’s Change

"Now, rather than disliking these things, I prefer to accompany you both in strolling around the marketplace and picking seafood that suits everyone’s taste."

"The joy this brings is much stronger than the pain I experience from overcoming my obsession with cleanliness. In reality, it’s a balance of give and take. If I can’t overcome my cleanliness obsession, I won’t be able to enjoy the happiness and joy I just felt. Compared to this, I choose to overcome my inner demon, while also enjoying the fun of shopping at the market with you."

So, Mr. Yan’s change was not a deliberate compromise, but rather a choice for maximum benefit.

Zhu Qianying fell silent; she had never considered this viewpoint.

She always felt that making someone change for the sake of others is a painful process that gradually leads to the loss of one’s self.

Take her mother for example. Back in the Zhu family, she compromised for Zhu Zhizhou and suppressed her personality and ideas, which eventually turned her into a weak and clueless woman.

As a result, she has been resisting change herself.

Whether it was her changing for others or the other way round.

But after hearing Mr. Yan’s words, she fell into deep thought.

Perhaps changing for someone is not necessarily a bad thing; the key is that the person you are changing for is worth it.

To Mr. Yan, she and baby boy were worth overcoming his years of habits for, hence, he chose to change.

Things are actually that simple. She was the one who had overcomplicated it.

"Hmm, I understand!"

Rarely, Zhu Qianying didn’t insist on her way of thinking. After responding to Mr. Yan, however, she fell into deep thought again.

This is when Mr. Yan finally understood why Chen Jing wished for a man who could treat Zhu Qianying both as a lover and a daughter.

Because in certain ways, Zhu Qianying is really like a child.

Not that she’s naive, it’s just she purposefully retains a touch of innocence in her own heart.

And he, more and more confident, felt himself getting closer to the image that Chen Jing painted.

Initially, being eight years older than her, he should have been her mentor, both in life experience and mindset.

But his previous self had put himself in the wrong place. He should’ve been her husband or boyfriend, but instead, he acted like a ruler, always being aloof and demanding her to make sacrifices here and there.

Reflecting back, his past self had been stubborn, no wonder she was disappointed and finally despaired.

The car quickly returned to the villa, Mr. Yan got out first. He reached out to hold the baby boy who had just taken a short rest and was full of energy again, but the boy jumped out of the car by himself and ran to Qin Xiu’s car to wait for the baby girl and Tingting.

The three little brats said they wanted to stay and play in the garden. With bodyguards around, Mr. Yan and Zhu Qianying didn’t need to worry about their safety, so they let the kids play as they wished.

Once the four of them entered the house, Shao Shan exclaimed as soon as she walked in.

"Wow, it’s so big and beautiful! No wonder they say, ’Don’t compare, lest you get hurt’. I thought my house was already a mansion, but now seeing your house, Ying Zi, I dare not claim mine as a mansion anymore."

Shao Shan’s words made both Mr. Yan and Qin Xiu instinctively look at Zhu Qianying.

Shao Shan was unaware of the underlying story, but Qin Xiu knew the general idea.

As it turned out, the two men were overly sensitive.

Zhu Qianying had no reaction to Shao Shan’s phrase "your house," she just smiled and pointed at Mr. Yan.

"Sister Shan, I didn’t participate in the decoration and furnishings here at all. If you want to salute someone, salute Mr. Yan!"

Zhu Qianying’s reaction let out a sigh of relief from Mr. Yan.

Little did he know, just as Shao Shan had finished stepping on one landmine, she stepped on another.

"It’s strange how you, Ying Zi, keep calling him Mr. Yan. That’s what outsiders call him. You should at least call him Yan-bro or Han-bro!"

Upon hearing the nickname "Han-bro", Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but shudder, because this reminded her of Yi Wei.

In her feelings, the nickname "Han-bro" should be exclusive to Yi Wei, right?

Shao Shan stepping on this landmine was obviously much bigger than the last one.

This time Qin Xiu directly tugged at Shao Shan’s sleeve, "Ah Shan, I’m thirsty, go get some drinks for me and Grandpa."

Shao Shan didn’t fall for it, she looked excitedly at Zhu Qianying, waiting for her response.

"Is it just a habit of calling him that?! Anyway, what you call someone doesn’t matter. Like some people always like to call their husbands ’enemy’, ’devil’, etc. It sounds strange to others, but to the person involved, it’s incredibly intimate, isn’t it?"

Zhu Qianying’s response was casual, but it prevented an awkward situation.

Shao Shan was satisfied with her answer, "Right, of course, you couldn’t possibly call Mr. Yan ’devil’ or something like that in front of others, but if you call him that in private, sure, it’s quite intimate."

As it turns out, she totally misunderstood what Zhu Qianying meant.

However, whether she misunderstood or not, wasn’t important. What mattered was that after receiving this answer, she obediently went to the fridge to get some drinks.

"Grandpa, Ying Zi, I’m sorry, Ah Shan’s mouth is not very restrained."

Zhu Qianying smiled good-naturedly, "Qin-bro, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. You guys are just overthinking."

Mr. Yan squinted and observed Zhu Qianying’s face seriously, finding that her mood today was really good and Shao Shan’s words didn’t seem to have affected her mood at all.

"You guys sit down. I’m going to get some drinks to take out to the little brats." Zhu Qianying, acting like the mother she was, naturally worried about the children.

Actually, after having been out for so long in the morning, everyone was a bit tired. It’s just that children have more energy and can recover after a short rest, but it’s still necessary to replenish fluids timely.

It was only after Zhu Qianying had gone out that Qin Xiu took the opportunity to apologize to Mr. Yan again.

Zhu Qianying didn’t mind, and of course, Mr. Yan didn’t either.

He was even grateful for Shao Shan’s lack of restraint because otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that her tolerance towards him had reached a whole new level.

"Grandpa, that being said, I feel like Ying Zi seems different after this injury?"

Even Qin Xiu could sense it, how could Mr. Yan not?

Except that the current Mr. Yan wanted to keep this as a secret to savor in his heart, so he shrugged nonchalantly and said,

"Really? I didn’t notice anything. Nothing seems different, right? Maybe it’s just your imagination?"

Qin Xiu looked at Mr. Yan suspiciously for a few moments before he couldn’t help but say, "Of course it’s not my imagination!"

Though Qin Xiu was adamant he wasn’t mistaken, he couldn’t specify what was different.

"Maybe, it’s just subtle changes in her expressions or other little details. Anyway, if I’m not wrong, grandpa, your good fortune is near!"

This time, Mr. Yan actually laughed, "I hope your prediction comes true!"
