Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Treat Her Kindly, Not Because of the Son

Secretly, she had her own ulterior motives.

She always felt that these pieces of jewelry contained too much of her own emotions and emotional changes, so she was still considering whether to keep these designs as a personal collection.

"Drinking with a client?"

Without being able to see his face, Zhu Qianying could determine his current state just based on a simple response from Master Yan, it would be an understatement to say her intuition was sharp.

"Well... in a way, but not exactly..."

Zhu Qianying detected hesitation in his voice, she pulled down the sketch interface, and on the screen, there was a picture of Master Yan holding the baby boy.

In the photo, the two grandpas were hugging a bundle and rolling on the bed, playing, it was intimate and sweet.

Zhu Qianying stared at the screen, stunned for a moment. If she remembered correctly, she had taken this photo with Master Yan’s mobile phone, she did not have any intentions of using this image as a background. Now, this photo had become her computer screen, needless to say, this must have been the mischievous baby boy’s prank.

"What do you mean by in a way?"

As Zhu Qianying was asking, she clicked on the properties button and found the image on the desktop with the mouse. She hesitated whether to delete it for a moment but eventually moved the cursor away.

Never mind, this photo, after all, was quite pleasing to look at. At the very least, the two grandpas were both beaming brightly, and it was as if two flowers had bloomed on the screen, two visually pleasing handsome flowers!

Master Yan was oblivious to the fact that his handsome photo almost found its way into the recycle bin, and he continued to speak calmly on the other end of the phone.

"Because, my uncle invited a few people over to the old mansion, and I ended up drinking quite a lot of wine with them. Strictly speaking, most of these people are not clients."

Master Yan patiently explained to Zhu Qianying, his voice still retained the characteristic laziness that came after drinking.

For some reason, Zhu Qianying began to feel sympathetic towards the man on the other end of the call.

"Is it a special day today? Why were so many people invited over?"

Zhu Qianying has recently, time and again, violated her own taboos without realizing it.

During the period just after she reached an agreement with Master Yan, she often reminded herself that she and Master Yan were nothing more than a contractual husband and wife, she should not meddle in his official business, and she was determined not to interfere.

Yet, just yesterday, she hurriedly called him to inquire about his work due to some false rumors spread by some outsiders.

She always knew and executed it very well, his private matters, which were unrelated to her and she should not ask, she never did.

But now, this matter, which clearly wasn’t her business, she has naturally, still asked.

On the other side in the capital city, Master Yan, who had been sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

Obviously, he didn’t expect her to ask so directly. After all, she used to be very principled, not snooping or asking about what she shouldn’t.

But now, she had interfered and asked, did it mean she was starting to waver?

Or has she directly changed her mind?

Whether it was the former or the latter, it was a delightful change for Master Yan.

"My uncle is going to retire soon, and he feared that people would not give me face when he’s gone. So, while he still holds a position, he wanted me to familiarize myself with these people and things more."

Actually, judging from the current momentum of Master Yan’s cousin, many people have said that he might go even further and higher than his father, Yan Yuan.

But in Yan Yuan’s and Grandfather Yan’s eyes,Master Yan and his cousin were still of two generations. As elders, it is normal for them to do as much as they can to help the younger generation when they still have the capacity to.

Zhu Qianying was hearing these family affairs from Master Yan for the first time.

These words reminded her of the Spring Festival when there was a constant stream of people coming and going in the old mansion. At that time, she was only annoyed.

Now that she thinks about it, probably, the flow of people that seemed to annoy her was nothing more than deliberate support and care from the elders of Yan Family for the younger generation.

Looking back, she was really ungrateful back then.

"It must be tiring, isn’t it?"

In the past, whenever Xiao Yu complained over the phone about how hard Ji Huan worked and how heartbreaking it was, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but tease Xiao Yu, saying she loved Ji Huan to the bone.

Now, she vaguely understood the feeling Xiao Yu talked about.

She knew very clearly what this implied.

After struggling and considering for so long, this time, she decided to let things take their course.

She chose neither to ignore nor to escape.

So, concerned about him, she asked directly.

"It’s alright... compared to those who started from scratch, I am much luckier."

In fact, what Master Yan wanted to say was that he was much luckier than her.

But he didn’t dare to utter such words that could pierce a wound; he was afraid it would upset her.

"Yes, you’re right. At least, you have resources and connections from your parents to rely on, while those who started from scratch had to begin with nothing."

Zhu Qianying used to think that Master Yan was the kind of person who occasionally was so arrogant and supercilious that he overlooked everyone, but the more she got to know him, the more she realized that he was not as arrogant as others perceived him to be.

Or perhaps, the Master Yan five years ago did have many flaws that she despised.

But five years has passed, not only has the world changed, she has changed, and Master Yan has also changed quite a bit.

"Yes, today, I brought Qin Xiu home so that he could get to know these people. In the future, he will be able to handle some things on my behalf so that I can have more time to be with you and the baby boy."

Master Yan’s words silenced Zhu Qianying for a while.

Zhu Qianying, who was unsure of how to respond to Master Yan’s last sentence, ultimately, decided to veer away from the topic.

Some words are easy to say, but hard to take back. So, she hoped that any answer she gave was the result of careful consideration, rather than thoughtless gibberish.

"When will you be back?"

Master Yan seemed to understand her feelings, so he obediently gave her an answer.

"If the plane is on time, I should be home by seven o’clock tomorrow night."

"Are you coming to the restaurant or going home?" Zhu Qianying now had grown accustomed to his occasional visits to the restaurant for a meal, so she didn’t see any problem in asking this question.

But to Master Yan, it sounded like an invitation, or at least, it was a signal that Zhu Qianying had initiated.

"I’ll go to the restaurant, but you and the baby boy don’t need to wait for me, don’t starve yourselves."

Lately, Zhu Qianying had seen many posts online about jerks, most of which complained about men treating women as childbearing tools. Once the child is born, they no longer care about the mother.

But with Master Yan, she rarely felt this way.

On the contrary, Master Yan always put her together with the baby boy, which encouraged and warmed Zhu Qianying’s heart.

At the very least, she could confirm that he was not only nice to her because of their son.
