Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Is it really just acting?

The shops that Qin Xiu recommended to Cheng Ye previously were basically satisfactory. Finally, after evaluation and comparison from all parties, the stores selected, including the new ones and the flagship store, surprisingly were all belonging to the Yanhuang Group.

Qin Xiu, adhering to the boss’s words, gave Cheng Ye the maximum discount on the rent.

This time Cheng Ye returned, basically, he had decided to stay in L City for a long time.

With Cheng Ye busy with store matters, Zhu Qianying naturally fell into a busy state too.

The situation, in which Cheng Ye took Zhu Qianying wherever he went, was comparable to their time in M country. However, the difference now was in L city, wherever Zhu Qianying went, the Yan family’s dedicated drivers and bodyguards accompanied her, unlike Cheng Ye’s last visit to L city.

Although Cheng Ye had been running a jewelry store here for a few years, he seldom stayed here for a long time, so he was not clear about many things in L City.

Even about the recent highly publicized discord among the Yan, Zhu, and Yi families high society, he knew nothing.

So, seeing that Zhu Qianying was always followed by the Yan Family’s drivers, his heart became apprehensive.

Ever since he accidentally overheard Zhu Qianying’s conversation with young master Yan, despite how close Zhu Qianying and young master Yan were, he always interpreted it as both of them purposely trying to deceive him.

But this time, he found it difficult to quell his fears with this excuse.

Because it seemed that the interaction and looks between Zhu Qianying and young master Yan were not like a pretence.

But he couldn’t directly ask Zhu Qianying about these things, so he had to slowly observe with his own eyes and probe.

That day, he invited Zhu Qianying and their son to dinner. While Zhu Qianying had gone to the restroom, Cheng Ye took the opportunity to question the little boy.

"Baby boy, Cheng Uncle brought some gifts for your grandma, could you deliver them to her later?"

The little boy gratefully accepted the gifts, nodding joyfully, "Thank you, Uncle Cheng!"

"Baby boy, when will you invite Uncle Cheng to your home?" Cheng Ye hadn’t been to Zhu Qianying’s new home in L City yet.

The little boy immediately denied the possibility, "No way! Grandma’s restaurant is opening next Saturday, so she’s very busy. If you come, we won’t have time to entertain you!"

In the boy’s mind when dealing with Cheng Ye, he habitually called the home where he lives with his mother and grandmother as his own. This period he indeed stayed in that house with his mother and grandmother because his grandparents were in Capital City visiting the great-grandparents.

Even his father dined every evening at grandma’s home, so he also didn’t return to Yan Family’s place to stay.

Of course, a little brat like him would not take the initiative to tell Cheng Ye about this complicated relationship.

After listening to the boy, Cheng Ye finally felt relieved.

The information implied by the boy’s words was very clear. Like before in country M, Zhu Qianying was still living in an apartment with her son, not cohabiting with young master Yan.

As for the continuous pick-ups and drop-offs by the Yan Family’s driver, it was probably for show, a cover to give the impression of Zhu Qianying being the named wife of young master Yan.

So once again Cheng Ye comforted himself, thinking that the idea of young master Yan and Zhu Qianying getting too close was just a misconception due to his excessive sensitivity.

After dinner, when he saw young master Yan who had come to pick up Zhu Qianying and their son, Cheng Ye instinctively regarded all his behavior as a performance. Hence, even when he saw young master Yan whispering something to Zhu Qianying, although he was uncomfortable with it, he did not feel too bad.

About the rental discount for the store, he thanked young master Yan again face-to-face even though he had already thanked him over the phone.

"You’re being too courteous, Mr. Cheng. After all, considering Ying’er as part of the jewelry store, it’s beneficial for her if the store performs well, isn’t it?"

Of course, young master Yan preferred Zhu Qianying to work independently. But after this proposal was repeatedly rejected by Zhu Qianying, all he could do was to express his support for her indirectly like this.

Furthermore, Cheng Ye does like Zhu Qianying. It’s undeniable that during the years when young master Yan was not by the boy’s side, Cheng Ye has given a lot to the boy.

Of course, this was possibly because Cheng Ye had taken a liking to everything related to Zhu Qianying, but regardless of his motives, the fact that Cheng Ye has been taking care of Zhu Qianying and her son over the years was irrefutable.

Moreover, even if young master Yan was unwilling to admit it, he had to concede that Cheng Ye had played a significant role in the boy’s growth phase.

Of course, this open-mindedness came about after young master Yan had enough confidence to win back Zhu Qianying.

So, the discount on the store’s rent, whether it’s viewed as returning the favor to Cheng Ye, or helping Zhu Qianying and her son return the favor, young master Yan readily gave it without any reluctance or other ulterior thoughts.

"If young master Yan says so, does it imply that I should give Ying’er a raise?"

Before Zhu Qianying could say anything, the little rascal, a young money-loving friend, immediately raised his hand to agree.

"Uncle Cheng, hurry up and give my mommy a raise. Then, she can retire early and travel around the world!"

The little boy had heard many interesting stories about retirees traveling the world from his grandparents, so now he was very keen on travelling the world and also believed that it was the best choice for his mommy to enjoy her life.

The innocent words of the child made all three adults laugh, and all of them waved goodbye to each other cheerfully.

Sending the mother and son downstairs, young master Yan, holding his sleeping son, waited for Zhu Qianying to get out of the car before asking.

"Ying’er, I have to catch an early morning flight tomorrow. It’s late now, can I squeeze in with the baby boy for tonight?"

Zhu Qianying looked at the time, it had passed nine o’clock. Anyway, it was just for one night, it wasn’t a big deal.

"Mm, do you have a change of clothes?"

Young Master Yan seemed to be well-prepared, "The luggage for my business trip has been packed and put in the car."

Zhu Qianying didn’t ask anything more. After all, the situation where both of them staying in the same room had often occurred lately, and nothing had happened really.

"Do you need help to carry the luggage upstairs?"

Zhu Qianying even took the initiative to offer help, however the driver had already pulled the luggage from the car and brought it over.

Even the other hostess, Chen Jing, looked rather calm when she saw young master Yan now.

Since young master Yan had been freeloading at their house lately, she had grown used to his presence.

"Mom, I’m going to sleep here with the boy tonight."

Despite getting Zhu Qianying’s permission, young master Yan still reported to Chen Jing, after all, she was an elder.

"Oh, then I’ll get a blanket and pillow." Chen Jing did not resist too much.
