Chapter 502: Chapter 502 Not Only for Viewing but Also Practical

Although it wasn’t the first time they’d been so intimately close, it had been five years since their last tender touch.

They didn’t want to acknowledge the distance that had grown between them, yet they couldn’t escape the fact that it was hard to remember the feeling of being nestled against each other. Both Yan and Zhu Qianying had forgotten how that type of intimacy felt.

When Yan reached out, he was fully prepared for her to reject him.

Even though she had expressed her willingness to start anew with him, the gap five years of estrangement had created couldn’t be bridged that easily. It was not an easy task for her to suddenly accept all these intimate gestures and touches.

So, when he felt her lean into him, pressing her back lightly to his chest, he momentarily held his breath. Then his heart started pounding uncontrollably.

Ignoring the irregular rhythm of his own heart, Yan moved his other arm around her waist, locking her in his tight embrace. It was as if he was afraid she would change her mind at any given moment.

He wore a mask of indifference, hiding his emotions and physical reactions.

But Zhu Qianying was nowhere near his level of calm. His pounding heart conveyed a frantic message with each beat, making her feel hot and flustered, her limbs twitching in uncertainty.

Yan could feel her stiffness. He burrowed his face into the crook of her neck, his warm lips trailing up to her cheek.

"Are you nervous, baby?" His lips stirred electric currents across her skin.

Zhu Qianying shivered slightly, wanting to deny his assumption. However, in the end, she chose to admit it and nodded.

"Mmm..."

Both her physical response and her honesty pleased him and filled him with a hint of smug satisfaction.

Her shy reaction to the intimate situation made it evident that not much had changed in her since five years ago.

There was no doubt that over these years, she probably hadn’t even held hands with another man.

Of course, other than him.

"Why?" A subtle smile playing on Yan’s lips hinted at his curiosity.

At this point, he wanted her to admit certain things or maybe say a few sweet words which could quench his thirst for affection that had lasted for five years.

"I guess... I am still not quite used to it..." she confessed.

Zhu Qianying, having acknowledged her feelings and taking the first bold step, was now being very honest, and very calm.

Hearing her frank reply, Yan didn’t feel like pressing her further.

After all, she had already wrestled with her emotions and had courageously taken the first step. How could he be so unkind as to force her into anything more?

"Okay, no problem, we can take it slow..." he reassured her.

Yan kissed her cheek, suppressing his earlier urge to sweep her off her feet the moment they got home.

He, ultimately, could not pressure her into anything.

Alright, those sweet, intimate moments would eventually come. He didn’t have to rush her.

Yan’s gentleness and understanding eased Zhu Qianying’s tension significantly. After a moment of silence, she leaned in and returned his affection with a light peck on his cheek.

Just like that, Yan’s minor disappointment was instantly erased by her light kiss.

"Mmm..."

The day had been tiring, they had been busy for the whole day, and honestly, they were both exhausted by now.

Because they were tired, neither wished to strain their minds to come up with something to talk about. Consequently, they fell into a peaceful silence, simply holding each other close.

Yan gently pressed his face to hers. Occasionally, he’d move his lips to her hair, brushing lightly against her face. Zhu Qianying allowed him to tease her, remaining pliant in his arms.

Though they were both silent, the atmosphere was incredibly warm and sweet.

After they got into the car, neither the chauffeur nor Yan or Zhu Qianying addressed the question of where they were headed.

In Zhu Qianying’s mind, it didn’t matter where they were going as long as she was with him.

In the end, their chauffeur, without asking for a specific destination, dropped them off at Zhu Qianying’s apartment building.

These days, the Yan family vehicles had unrestricted access to Zhu Qianying’s apartment complex. Everyone knew that these cars belonged to Yan and the owner of one of the apartments in the building was Yan’s mother-in-law.

They took the elevator up to her apartment and stood together in front of the door.

Yan waited for Zhu Qianying to unlock the door, but she remained where she was, pointing to the bag in his hand.

"The keys are in the side pocket."

Yan took out the keys and while unlocking the door, turned to look at her, "So lazy that you can’t even open the door?"

Zhu Qianying replied nonchalantly, "Yeah, why should I bother to open when someone else is here to do it?"

Yan chuckled at her reply and said nothing more. After entering her apartment, he bent down to pick up her slippers, placing them at her feet.

"Mrs. Yan, are you satisfied with your errand-running husband?"

Zhu Qianying gently lifted his chin and observed him briefly before saying seriously, "Well, barely acceptable! Your face is the saving grace."

Yan straightened up, pinching her cheek affectionately and broke into a smile before pretending to be upset.

"And what if one day, this face isn’t appealing anymore? Who am I going to cry to?"

Zhu Qianying laughed, patting his waist, "That’s alright, as long as the wallet is good to look at!"

Yan squinted his eyes, a glint of playfulness evident in them.

"You mean my kidney? Don’t worry, not only does it look good, but it’s very useful too!"

Yan was obviously twisting the meaning of Zhu Qianying’s words.

Zhu Qianying shot him a look, "Who’s talking about your kidney? I said I can live with your wallet!"

From the moment they walked through the door to changing their shoes, they teased each other playfully.

This playful banter was interrupted by the voice of Chen Jing.

"Ying’er, are you two back? Let me know what you want to eat, you both should go freshen up."

As a mother, Chen Jing had been too busy with the restaurant recently and didn’t have much time to take care of her daughter and grandson. She was feeling a bit guilty about it.

Learning about today’s Weibo "battle" through Bai Shao, she decided to sleep a little later, hoping to receive confirmation of the event when the couple finally returned home.

As soon as she opened her room door, she saw the two playfully bantering. She stood at the door for a couple of minutes, but they didn’t notice her.

It was clear to Chen Jing that what Bai Shao had told her was most likely the truth.

There was no need to confirm or verify these details with the parties involved.

The two who had been interrupted turned their heads towards her, "Mom, why aren’t you asleep yet?" they asked in unison.

If I had gone to sleep, I would have missed the confirmation that the two of you were indeed back together, Chen Jing silently thought to herself.

"It’s still early, let me make some noodles for you, then I will
