Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Being Cute in Moderation Adds Spice to Life

Unexpectedly, my mother didn’t get the hint.

"Ying’er, just worry about your own stuff, don’t mind me!"

Only after Chen Jing came back and was asked by her elder daughter about her impression of Luo Yifan did she realize what had happened that day. It was ostensibly an opportunity for her to learn something new, but in reality, it was a blind date!

Honestly, compared to Zhu Zhizhou, Luo Yifan is countless times superior, both in character and appearance.

But it was probably because he was too excellent that Chen Jing felt they could never be together.

After blindly following Zhu Zhizhou for many years, Chen Jing’s expectations for romance had long hit rock bottom, as had her self-esteem.

During these past few years since Zhu Qianying took her away, her self-esteem had undoubtedly improved a lot. But the deep-set feeling of inferiority will occasionally reappear once she encounters a familiar environment.

"Mom, I can handle my stuff. Xiao Yu and I will take good care of yours too!"

Zhu Qianying said as such, indirectly acknowledging the turning point in her relationship with Boss Yanhuang and giving her mom a precautionary note.

Boss Yanhuang’s business trip only lasted two to three days.

The night before, during their video call, he informed Zhu Qianying of his flight and the specific arrival time in L City.

Of course, he didn’t expect Zhu Qianying to pick him up at the airport.

But, when he saw only his chauffeur at the airport, he was somewhat disappointed.

Therefore, on the way back to Yanhuang Group, Qin Xiu noticed that the boss, who had been jovial on the flight, seemed slightly distracted in the car.

It wasn’t hard to guess why – probably because the boss lady didn’t come to pick him up.

"Sir, I heard that they’re busy renovating the jewelry store. Ying Zi must also be very busy!"

Qin Xiu indirectly reminded his boss that the boss lady didn’t neglect to pick him up because she didn’t want to. She was just too busy, thus, not having the time to.

"Hmm..."

Who doesn’t understand logic?

But can philosophy really help in calming and influencing one’s upset mood?

Luckily, this disappointment didn’t last long.

The moment Boss Yanhuang opened the door of his office, his gaze landed on a person sitting in the reception room, facing the window, back towards the door.

Even if it was only a silhouette, Yanhuang recognized immediately that this person was none other than Zhu Qianying, the one he had longed for at the airport.

Qin Xiu, who was behind him, naturally saw Zhu Qianying too. He tactfully stopped in his tracks intending to excuse himself from Boss Huang. Just as he was about to say something, the man beside him strode confidently towards the reception room.

Qin Xiu quietly retreated, softly closing the door behind him.

Upon hearing the noise, Zhu Qianying turned her head and saw Yanhuang, giving him a stunningly beautiful smile, "You’re back?"

"Hmm, why are you here?"

Even if Zhu Qianying told him that she happened to be passing by and stopped for a rest, he would still be delighted.

But Zhu Qianying isn’t one to beat around the bush. She pointed at the two boxes on the coffee table, "I was suppose to have a day off today. I initially planned to pick you up from the airport, but I got held up at Mom’s store. So I decided to come straight here and invite you for lunch."

The term ’ecstatic’ wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe Boss Yanhuang’s mood at that moment.

Firstly, he was touched by her intention to pick him up, even though it didn’t happen.

Secondly, he appreciated her frank attitude.

However, people often can’t get enough of what they want. Even while he was already overjoyed, he still wanted to have more.

Yanhuang tossed his bag onto the sofa, then slumped onto his private sofa, heaving a long sigh of relief.

"Phew, I’m dog-tired!"

Zhu Qianying looked at him carefully, finding him energized and not at all exhibiting signs of exhaustion.

However, this man was always highly energetic. Perhaps he was genuinely tired but just not showing it on the surface.

Thinking this, Zhu Qianying got up and walked towards the storage cabinet. "Should I brew some tea or coffee for you?"

She knew he still had a lot of work to attend to, so a refreshment wouldn’t hurt.

"Tea, please. Brewing coffee is too much of a hassle."

Presumably, Yanhuang didn’t want Zhu Qianying to go through too much trouble. Occasionally being spoilt is cute, but excessive demands turn into a burden.

Zhu Qianying quickly brewed a pot of tea, preparing two cups. She poured a cup for him and a cup for herself.

"Weren’t you busy? How did you find the time to take a break?"

Yanhuang wondered, could it be she purposely took the day off because of his arrival?

"Cheng Ye went to Capital City, so I took the chance to slack off a bit."

The truth was, almost everything about the renovation had been arranged. The next step would mostly consist of the decoration company’s tasks. As for the supervision of the renovation, Zhu Qianying had no expertise, neither did Cheng Ye want her go through the hardship. Therefore, he had found someone else to take charge of it.

The jewelry store had been put on track temporarily. Hence, in the next few days, Cheng Ye gave Zhu Qianying some time off to help Chen Jing with the opening of the private restaurant instead.

Zhu Qianying’s answer left Yanhuang slightly disappointed. However, once the taste of fragrant tea slid down his throat, smoothing out any crease of disappointment instantaneously.

"Mom’s restaurant is almost ready to open, right?"

There were two more days until the opening of the private restaurant, but the advertising work had already begun a week ago and began accepting online reservations a few days ago.

"Yes, everything for the opening is mostly ready. My mom was preparing the ingredients and materials for the next week. The slots for online reservation are filled up until next Saturday already!"

The result Zhu Qianying mentioned was quite close to what she and Yanhuang had forecasted.

"As expected, albeit Mom has retired from L City’s food industry for many years, her reputation still remains!"

"Of course! My mom’s name rings a bell for everyone. But your choice of hiring the advertising planner also played a huge part."

They chatted about the private restaurant and then about her son.

Yanhuang remembered Zhu Qianying mentioning that she came to have lunch with him, so he pointed at the two boxes on the coffee table.

"Is our lunch in here?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head. "No, these boxes contain marinated goose wings for you and Qin Xiu, one box each. What would you like for lunch? It’s my treat!"

Given the rare opportunity that Zhu Qianying offered to treat him to a meal, Yanhuang definitely wanted a romantic candlelight lunch. However, the truth was, he had a very important client to meet later on. Therefore, he had to have a quick lunch.

"Can we just grab something from the western restaurant across the street?"

Yanhuang, not being a naive teenager, knew what matters were more urgent.

Zhu Qianying understood everything as soon as she heard that. "Yep, no problem! In fact, I should thank you for helping me save money!"

They walked out of the office together, one leading, the other following. "You have a lunch appointment, right?"
