Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Being Assertive Is Not the Same as Being Overbearing

A chubby little hand lifted the quilt, completely covering himself, leaving only a pair of eyes rolling around.

Young Master hesitated as if wanting to say something, which aroused Eldest Young Master Yan’s curiosity.

"Why the rush? Your mommy isn’t getting old!"

Young Master pulled down the quilt and glared at him,

"Dummy, Uncle Cheng has already chased her back!"

Master Yan was left speechless with laughter!

It seems that a son being too smart isn’t necessarily a good thing.

At the very least, he didn’t want his son to witness him being cornered by a love rival.

As a dignified man, wanting to save some face in front of his four-and-a-half-year-old son wasn’t too much to ask, was it?

But his son, the elf, let alone Cheng Ye’s matter which couldn’t escape his sharp eyes, probably also clearly saw those with ill intentions towards his mommy.

Anyway, his little movements and thoughts these days hadn’t escaped the little boy’s eyes.

"Alright, I get it, I promise you, I will try my best to let your mommy buy me back sooner. Okay?"

Eldest Young Master Yan’s promise finally satisfied Young Master and put his mind at ease.

He grumbled a few more words at Eldest Young Master Yan, his eyelids drooping as he did, and then the grumbling stopped and was replaced by the sound of snoring.

Master Yan looked at the sleeping little piglet in front of him, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curling upward, he leaned down, pecked the little piglet’s face, tucked him in, and then got up and left the bed.

Zhu Qianying was right in guessing that he had stayed tonight because he indeed wanted to have a conversation with her.

A moment later, Zhu Qianying’s door was knocked.

Zhu Qianying opened the door, one hand holding the doorframe and the other holding the door, her clear eyes looking at the man outside.

"Anything?"

The man nodded honestly, "Hmm!"

Zhu Qianying slightly turned her body, taking a look outside.

The living room was empty.

Baby boy is asleep, Chen Jing had been busy all day, and naturally went to bed early after her shower.

Even so, Zhu Qianying allowed the man in her room after pondering for a few seconds.

Indeed, Master Yan was a dominant and overbearing man.

But he was not one to force others, at least not at this stage, he would not do anything to coerce her.

Having spent some time together, Zhu Qianying who had this understanding, confidently invited him inside.

Having entered, Master Yan indeed did as Zhu Qianying had expected, he dragged over the chair that was in front of the computer desk and sat down.

Zhu Qianying herself climbed onto the bed, took a pillow to hold in her arms, and sat cross-legged, facing Master Yan.

"You called me today because you were worried about me, right?"

This point, Master Yan had already asked over the phone.

And Zhu Qianying had honestly admitted to it.

Being concerned about someone is not something shameful, she felt there was nothing to hide about it.

Of course, such honesty applied only to those she could trust.

And the man in front of her had already gained her trust with his words and actions.

"Yes, rumors have been flying around outside, and there are all kinds of nasty words. Even if they are baseless rumors, they cannot have zero effect on Yanhuang."

Zhu Qianying frankly spoke of her inner thoughts.

In the past, she didn’t want to know about his matters, or about Yanhuang’s matters, and was even less willing to investigate.

But that was in the past.

Now, when she clearly perceived that his matters or Yanhuang’s matters were enough to stir her emotions, she chose to confront them, instead of turning a blind eye.

Because she knew that whether it was evasion or stagnation, neither could fundamentally solve the anxiety in her heart.

Rather than secretly guessing and suffering for it, why not just ask him straightforwardly?

He would naturally tell her if he could. If he couldn’t, naturally, he wouldn’t reveal a bit to her.

Her honesty made Master Yan very happy.

This also indirectly indicated that his recent strategy of retreating for advancement was correctly applied.

"Ying’er, the rumors outside are indeed all false. As for those impacts you’re worried about, if I said there’s none at all, I’d be lying to you. But trust me, in a few days, I will retrieve the losses caused by these rumors a hundred or thousandfold!"

Master Yan’s expression was very determined, his gaze lingering on her was as profound and focused as usual.

This man, no matter how bad or poor-mouthed he usually is, couldn’t hide his steady and reliable nature.

Zhu Qianying was completely reassured this time.

"Hmm, I understand!"

She had thought that Master Yan would not continue after speaking to this point.

After all, saying more would be venturing into Yanhuang Group’s secret affairs.

But Master Yan, continued on like spilling beans, explaining in detail the ins and outs of this incident and his countermeasures to Zhu Qianying.

The more she listened to the end, the stronger her admiration and respect for this man grew.

This man, able to stand at the very top in this era crowded with strong individuals, and stay upright for over a decade, was not a matter of luck.

Master Yan patiently spelled out all his thoughts and plans, seeing that she was deep in thought, he asked again.

"How is it, do you understand all of it now?"

Zhu Qianying lifted her head, glaring at his face for a few seconds then nodded, "Hmm, I understood everything."

Her eyes, as usual, were as clear as water, but beneath the calm surface, there seemed to be a faint ripple.

Master Yan looked relieved and stood up using the armrest for support.

In an instant, the towering figure cast a dense shadow enveloping Zhu Qianying in darkness and before she could react, the man whose face was unclear in the dim light leaned over, one hand bracing the bed, the other on top of her head.

Zhu Qianying stared at him in surprise, for a moment completely passive, her entire body stationary except for her eyelids blinking.

The warm breath was getting closer and closer, but Zhu Qianying didn’t even think of running.

She just blinked, watching his face grow larger in her eyes, until there was a warm sensation on her lips.

Only then did a few words flash across her mind: oh, he kissed her!

But this kiss was nothing more than a light touch, his warm lips gently brushing against hers, leaving a tingling sensation like an electric current.

The man left her lips, moved to her ear, and whispered, "Alright, stop thinking about it, go to sleep!"

After saying that, another light kiss landed on her earlobe.

Zhu Qianying involuntarily shivered slightly; whether Master Yan noticed her shiver or not was unknown.

Anyway, after the kiss, he swiftly straightened up, his big hand lightly massaging her head.

"Goodnight!" After saying this, he directly turned around and left without looking back.
