Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Becoming the Lady of the Bandit Lair

"Such luxury is something a young master like you could never understand. When working overtime at night, having a few braised goose wings nearby, paired with a can of beer or a soft drink, it’s exhilarating!"

Everything that the young master of the Yan family ate and used was of the finest or most expensive--these kind of braised foods popular with the common people, previously, would never have caught Yan’s eye.

So, Zhu Qianying felt, he had certainly never before torn into a goose wing with such disregard for table manners.

"Really? Maybe I should try it out sometimes!"

Had anyone else made such a suggestion, Yan would have dismissed them as an idiot.

But as it was Zhu Qianying who suggested it, he was rather intrigued.

Zhu Qianying grinned back at him, "You really want to try? I still have some in the fridge, I can pack it for you with a few ice packs in a sealed bag. You can keep it in the hotel’s fridge, and when it’s time to eat, just heat it up in the microwave. It’s absolutely delicious!"

After Zhu Qianying had stirred him up like that, Yan was genuinely tempted.

So, after Zhu Qianying finished eating the goose wing in her hand, she went back into the kitchen to rustle up more food.

Yan, holding a goose wing, followed her in, "Ying’er, how many are left?"

Zhu Qianying turned her head to look at Yan tearing into his goose wing at the kitchen counter. The goose wing was the kind that you could buy for just a few dollars. But in the hands of the Yan Family’s young master, it seemed to become a high-grade food item.

At that moment, Zhu Qianying felt an impulse to take a photo of Yan, who was eating his goose wing in such a refined and elegant manner, and use it as a sign for her store.

If she had him as a living advertisement,her Zhu Qianying’s Braised Goose Wings might even become the signature dish of a private restaurant.

"Ying’er!"

The voice of Yan interrupted Zhu Qianying’s lovely daydream.

"Hmm?"

"I’m asking you how many are left?"

Zhu Qianying opens a large fresh-keeping box and takes a look, "Quite a lot. There should be about ten or twenty left!"

Zhu Qianying loved to eat them, so she always braised a large pot and kept them in the fridge to slowly consume.

"Pack them all up for me, okay?"

Yan thought that if he could eat Zhu Qianying’s homemade food every day during the two or three days of his business trip, that would be a very happy and beautiful thing.

Zhu Qianying was surprised and looked at him. Then, she gave her approval with a nod.

"Okay, I’ll pack them all for you."

The next day, Qin Xiu, who was accompanying Yan on the business trip, accepted a small foam box from Yan’s driver. He took several glances before asking with confusion.

"Sir, what’s in here?"

"Delicious food," Yan answered in a very concise manner.

But the joy that he could not conceal on his face immediately told Qin Xiu that this food must have been prepared by Ying Zi.

"Did Ying Zi make this for you?"

Yan gave a cool nod, "Of course, do you think the baby boy can cook?"

Qin Xiu really wanted to say, sir aren’t you forgetting, in addition to Ying Zi and the baby boy, your mother-in-law who is a superb chef and the Yan family’s several chefs can cook for you?

However, considering the gloomy years Yan had endured, Qin Xiu thought, let him enjoy his affectionate moments!

...

In the evening, Zhu Qianying stayed in the baby boy’s room until he fell asleep. Only then did she turn off the lights, close the door, and return to her own room.

She found that her computer, which was still turned on, had a window for a video chat invitation continuously popping up.

When she clicked on it, it turned out to be Yan.

Honestly speaking, Zhu Qianying had known Yan for so long, but it seemed that they had never tried video chatting before. Moreover, the fact that it was Yan who had initiated it was even more unimaginable.

Zhu Qianying clicked to accept, and Yan appeared on the screen, "Ying’er, your suggestion was impressive!"

Zhu Qianying responded with a "Huh?!"

"The idea of pairing goose wings with a can of beer--extremely good!"

Yan had a smile on his face, as if he had tasted the finest food and drink in the world.

"Right? I feel like having a few more now that you’ve mentioned it. Unfortunately, you had them all packed up."

Zhu Qianying thought about it more and more regretfully. Despite having just finished dinner, her appetite was stirred by his proposal. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and glared at Yan fiercely on the screen.

Yan laughed out loud, "If I had known earlier, I would have left a few for you. It’s Qin Xiu who really got the advantage."

Turns out, just now, Yan and Qin Xiu had asked the hotel’s waitress to help heat up the goose wings and had a few cans of beer delivered. The two of them were drinking beer and eating goose wings while discussing plans for negotiating with a client tomorrow. Unexpectedly, their thoughts were particularly clear, and the points that had been previously stuck with them now opened up. Therefore, the two of them credited their success to Zhu Qianying’s goose wings.

Zhu Qianying laughed when Yan explained what had happened.

"If it really works that well, next time I hit a creative block, I’ll braise a pot of goose wings and buy a big box of beer to get me through!"

"In any case, Qin Xiu said that if you’re braising these in the coming days, he’d like thirty wings. He’ll pay for them and not take them for nothing!"

Yan ordinarily wouldn’t be this generous. However, Qin Xiu knew too many of his secrets, and as it was a special occasion, it’s better to appease Qin Xiu and zipper his mouth.

So, the next day, Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing went together to the supermarket. When Zhu Qianying put a large bag of goose wings into the shopping cart, Chen Jing was startled.

"Ying Zi, didn’t you just braise a large pot a few days ago? It’s gone already?"

"Yeah, it was taken by a robber." Zhu Qianying responded.

Chen Jing thought for a moment and immediately understood the situation.

"Oh, so now you’re planning to braise another big pot and continue making offerings to the robber?" Chen Jing teased.

Zhu Qianying rubbed her nose and coughed a few times, "Yes! Mom, you’re so smart!"

Chen Jing chuckled at her daughter, "If I weren’t a little smarter, my daughter might have been kidnapped by bandits and made their mistress by now!"

Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment, then stared at her mom for a few moments, "Mom, you’re becoming naughtier and naughtier. It seems that Xiao Yu and I really should find you a good family to marry into."

In reality, even in private, Zhu Qianying and Xiao Yu had discussed their mom’s marital status several times.

But no matter who, they hadn’t been able to think of a suitable candidate.

The two days she and Yan took the baby boy to the seaside for a vacation, Le Tong introduced a restaurant chain boss to her mom.

Her mom and the boss named Luo Yifan seemed to get along well at first sight. After all, they had many things in common, and the guy was genuinely single; his wife had died a few years ago from illness.

But Zhu Qianying had subtly tried to probe her mom and it seemed she was not attracted to the boss Luo.

Zhu Qianying had thought that even a person like Zhu Zhizhou could keep her mom obsessed for so many years. Now, since Luo was not old and was successful with a handsome look, her mom might be attracted to him.
