Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Are You Two Together?

"Mom, for Yan, this is just a piece of cake. Besides, you are the mother-in-law of his son. Helping his son’s mother-in-law is his duty. After all, you raised his son."

Zhu Qianying’s analysis was not unreasonable.

But Chen Jing always felt something was amiss, "Ying’er, tell me honestly, are you and Yan together now?"

Unlike the instant denial in the past, this time, there was a long silence on the other end of the line.

Chen Jing even thought the call had been dropped. When she couldn’t help but check the call status, her eldest daughter’s voice finally came through.

"Mom, don’t talk nonsense!"

The voice of her eldest daughter was calm, revealing nothing, but Chen Jing’s intuition told her that something must have happened between her daughter and Yan in the past few days.

As for what it was, she, being the mother, thought it would be better not to inquire about it directly and just wait and see.

After hanging up with her eldest daughter, Chen Jing made a call to Ji Huan.

"Mom, what’s up?"

"Xiao Huan, Is Xiao Yu sick with a cold? Why didn’t you tell me?"

Had it not been for her eldest daughter, Chen Jing would have had no idea about it.

To a commoner, a cold is a minor illness, but for a pregnant woman and a baby, it’s not.

"Mom, Xiao Yu is already feeling better, so I didn’t mention it."

It was really tough for Ji Huan, hiding it from both his mother-in-law and wife.

But the men of the Ji family have always been reliable and responsible, and they did not find such a thing difficult at all.

"Okay, you focus on taking care of Xiao Yu. As for the restaurant, your brother Yan said he’s handling it. This way, at least you don’t have to run around."

Actually, given Ji Huan’s status, a promotional event for a small restaurant could easily be arranged by making just one phone call.

It’s just that Ji Huan deliberately gave this opportunity to please his mother-in-law to Yan.

"Oh? Alright, then I’ll stay home to take care of Xiao Yu."

Ji Huan’s acting skills were perfect, convincing Chen Jing without leaving room for doubt.

"Yan, thank you for handling the publicity for the restaurant!"

After Chen Jing finished checking the brine, she freely handed over the task to Yan.

"Mom, apart from the publicity, is there anything else I can help you with? I know some food suppliers. If you need, I can introduce them to you."

Of course, Yan could just make a few calls to ask for some extra care for his mother-in-law.

But after spending some time and adjusting to each other, Yan gradually understood that everyone had their own dignity and bottom line that shouldn’t be violated.

What seemed ridiculous to him might be very important to others.

After the call with her eldest daughter, Chen Jing was less resistant to Yan’s assistance than before.

"Okay, if there’s anything I need, I’ll let you know."

Naturally, Yan noted a major change in Chen Jing’s attitude since she came out of the kitchen. Most likely, she hadn’t gone to check the brine but had called Zhu Qianying instead.

Speaking of Zhu Qianying, she had been on a business trip for two days and had not contacted him at all.

She certainly knew how to keep him in suspense!

Yan was slightly annoyed—annoyed at Zhu Qianying’s nonchalance, or annoyed at himself for still testing her after all this time.

"Mom, did Ying’er call you in the past few days?"

Yan was hopeful—maybe she was too busy to call.

"Yes, she calls every evening to chat. She must have called Pagoda Tree and the baby too!"

At that moment, Yan felt like he’d taken a hit of a thousand points.

His mom was being disloyal, not letting him listen to Ying’er’s calls.

Alright, he admitted that imagining it this way made him feel a bit better.

"Oh, I’ve been busy at work for the past few days, and by the time I get home, the baby is already asleep."

Since returning from the seaside villa, the baby had been living with Yan.

"Mmm, are you coming home for dinner tonight? I arranged to have dinner at your place with the baby tonight!"

"Yes, I’ve just finished handling my business and have some free time!"

It has to be said that after tasting the dishes made by Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying, the meals prepared by the Yan family’s chefs simply became unpalatable to Yan.

Yan spent more than half an hour at the restaurant and then rushed back to Yanhuang.

When Qin Xiu saw him, the look on his face was as exaggerated as seeing a ghost.

"Boss, didn’t you say you were busy this afternoon? Why are you back?"

Dare he say, they had another fight?

Qin Xiu didn’t know about Zhu Qianying’s business trip, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a guess.

"You talk too much. Hurry up and finish your work. I’m going home tonight to be with my son!"

Qin Xiu stared at Yan’s retreating back and rolled his eyes, "As if only you have a son to be with. I need to go home and be with my wife and kids too!"

Yan couldn’t be bothered with him, and strode into his office to deal with official business.

Yan thought Zhu Qianying would never call him again, but surprisingly, his private phone rang around four or five o’clock.

Yan assumed it was a call from home and answered, "What is it?"

"Yan, my mom told me you’re taking care of all the promotion for her restaurant’s opening, is that right?"

Zhu Qianying’s voice unexpectedly came from the phone, giving Yan a start.

"Ying’er?"

"Yes, it’s me! Who else did you think it would be?"

Zhu Qianying’s voice was clearly tinged with amusement.

"I thought it was my mom!" Yan honestly answered, regretting it immediately after he spoke.

As expected, a burst of laughter came from the other line. The laughter went on for more than ten seconds before it stopped.

"I don’t have such a young and capable son. Plus, my son isn’t that old!"

Yan slightly frowned. This was not the first time he had heard comments about his age from Zhu Qianying’s mouth.

Could it be, in her eyes, he really was old?

That should not be the case. With his dashing looks, if he wore a school uniform and stood among high school students, he would instantly stand out as a youth. Where was he old?

"How am I old? Qin Xiu, he’s old!"

Qin Xiu, who was in the next room, sneezed. He was an innocent victim!

Zhu Qianying laughed again, "Alright, enough teasing you, let’s get down to business."

Yan’s mouth twitched. Was she just playing with him?

This girl, she was really asking for a spanking, wasn’t she?

"My mom’s ideas are pretty good, but there are two or three details I think need to be changed. I’ve made the changes and sent them to your email. As for whether to make the changes, you can decide that."
