Chapter 491: Chapter 491: It’s Fine As Long As Someone Cares

Zhu Qianying was fully absorbed in editing photos on her computer, when she faintly heard the ding-dong sound of the doorbell.

Not wanting to disturb her baby boy and her mother, Zhu Qianying jumped up instantly, her thigh hitting the corner of the computer desk, causing her to wince in pain.

So, when she opened the door and saw the man outside, she gave him an annoyed glance, "Seriously, it’s so late, don’t you let people sleep?"

However, even though she was annoyed, she didn’t stop him, opening the door without giving it a second thought.

Yan Shao stepped in, looked at her with concern, noticed her knitted brows and reddened eyes, and actually thought that he had woken her up.

"Have you been sleeping?"

He asked softly, reaching out to touch her face.

Zhu Qianying didn’t dodge or evade, but she didn’t have the will to entertain him, as her mind was still focused on those pictures.

"I’m editing pictures!" She said and turned into the bedroom, leaving Yan Shao to his own devices at the entrance hall to change his shoes.

This casual behavior, as if she was letting a family member who had forgotten their keys into the house, left Yan Shao feeling rather satisfied.

She didn’t even bother to greet him, indicating that she already considered him part of this family.

Yan Shao looked towards her departing figure, alertly noticing her bent body and rubbing her thigh as she walked.

After changing his shoes, Yan Shao pushed open the slightly ajar door of Zhu Qianying’s room, "Ying’er, I’m coming in."

"Hmm..." Concentrating on her design drawing, Zhu Qianying had even lost her basic sense of alertness.

Or perhaps, in her subconscious, Yan Shao was no longer someone she needed to guard against.

"What happened to your leg?"

Yan Shao walked over, staring at the spot she had been rubbing with her hand earlier.

Zhu Qianying was honest about it, "I bumped it..."

All her focus was on the pictures. She had no spare attention to deal with Yan Shao.

Yan Shao looked at her leg, then at the computer desk, and quickly realized how she had hit it.

No wonder she was so furious just now. It turned out she had bumped her thigh while trying to open the door for him.

Yan Shao squatted down, placed his hand on the spot she had been rubbing, and looked up gently at her, asking softly, "Does it hurt a lot?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying hummed again, her gaze still focused on the screen.

Yan Shao felt a bit distressed and couldn’t help blaming her for her recklessness.

"What’s your hurry?"

Fianlly, Zhu Qianying reacted, glancing at him, "Do you know what time it is? Lord Yan!

Only then did Yan Shao remember that it was indeed quite late, nearing midnight.

"Afraid of waking up your mother and baby?" asked Yan Shao knowingly.

This time, Zhu Qianying didn’t answer him but straightened her foot and lightly kicked him on his lower leg.

With very little force.

Yan Shao chuckled and whispered, "I’m sorry..."

Zhu Qianying ignored him again, her hand holding the mouse and delicately moving it.

The completely ignored and forgotten Yan Shao smiled helplessly, lightly massaging her leg, "Does it hurt here?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying turned into an honest but silent child again.

By the end of April, as the temperature was getting hotter, Zhu Qianying was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and knee-length shorts at home.

Initially, Yan Shao didn’t make much of it, but after confirming the spot, he lifted her trouser leg.

Then, a patch of red as big as half a palm appeared before his eyes. The red bruise on her fair skin was rather shocking. From his experience, if not treated properly, there would be a large patch of purple and blue bruise here by tomorrow.

Yan Shao frowned as he looked at the red patch for a while, "Where’s the medicine box?"

Knowing that her mind was not on him, his words were as concise as possible.

"Under the bookcase..."

There was no study in the apartment, and the bookcase was placed in a corner of the living room against the wall.

Yan Shao got up and walked out, only to bump into Chen Jing, who had either got up to drink water or had been woken up.

"Mom, did I wake you up?"

Chen Jing was clearly startled, steadying herself before saying, "Was it you who rang the doorbell just now?"

"Yes, I am sorry, Ying’er has already scolded me! I was too preoccupied and forgot to check the time."

Most of the time, in front of Chen Jing, Yan Shao was well-behaved and peaceful, just like a baby boy.

Usually, such well-behaved juniors are most favored by the elders.

Chen Jing was no exception.

Yan Shao was handsome to begin with, just looking at his pleasing appearance made it difficult for people to dislike him.

So, these past few days, he had curbed his arrogance and conceit, and quickly won over the heart of his mother-in-law, Chen Jing, by becoming considerate and empathetic.

Chen Jing held a glass of water, slightly furrowing her brows. After taking a sip of water, she said,

"Let Ying’er give you a spare key tomorrow."

Even though his mother-in-law had spoken, Yan Shao did not dare to be careless. After all, the person in charge of this house was Zhu Qianying, not his mother-in-law.

"Hmm, we’ll see what Ying’er thinks..."

The well-behaved Yan Shao made Chen Jing feel a bit guilty.

She had a feeling that Yan Shao was being oppressed by Ying’er, right?

She even forgot a very important thing - why was Yan Shao coming out of her daughter’s bedroom in the middle of the night?

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing Yan Shao open the cabinet door under the bookcase, Chen Jing walked over and asked.

"Medicine box!"

"Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Jing asked with concern, but she overlooked a possibility - besides Yan Shao feeling unwell, her daughter might also be unwell.

"No, it’s Ying’er." Yan Shao answered honestly.

"Ying’er is sick?" Chen Jing’s voice noticeably raised several tones and she turned around to check on Zhu Qianying.

Yan Shao hurriedly said, "She accidentally bumped her leg just now, it’s a bit red, but it’s not a big deal."

Chen Jing was not assured and pushed the door to Zhu Qianying’s side.

However, she had the experience and knew not to disturb her daughter when she was busy.

So, Chen Jing only stood behind Zhu Qianying and took a glance, noticing the red bump under the lifted trouser leg.

Right when she was about to say something, the towering man had already stood beside her with the medicine box. She glanced at her daughter again, who was still focused on the computer screen, busy with her work. It seemed that the girl didn’t care about her injury at all.

However, it was a good thing someone else cared!

Chen Jing cast a profound look at Yan Shao, then tactfully retreated and gently closed the slightly ajar door.

She was no old-fashioned person. Through these days, she had observed all the interactions between her daughter and Yan Shao.

Moreover, the baby boy’s mood had been exceptionally good lately. When asked, he would chattering about ’Daddy and Mommy have kissed~ again’ and such.

A child’s reaction and mood has always been the most direct.

In the heart of the baby boy, nobody can replace Zhu Qianying’s position.

And the person who can make the baby boy feel so secure as to entrust his precious mother to, until now, has been only Yan Shao, and no one else.

Of course, among them, Chen Jing did not deny that their blood relationship also played a part.

But the most important thing was that Yan Shao’s behavior and intention had been affirmed by the baby boy.
