Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Must Not Indulge Too Much

When Yan Shao finished his shower and came out, Zhu Qianying was completely absorbed in the screen, her lips bitten and her mouse constantly moving. It was obvious she was sketching a design.

Although it was Yan Shao’s first time watching her at work and he was curious, he did not dare to disturb her. He just stood behind her and watched for a while, but he did not understand anything.

Looking up at the wall clock, it was usually this time when their baby boy had fallen asleep. Yan Shao decided to go and check if the little boy had covered his blanket properly. He carefully walked out, leaving a quiet workspace for her.

As soon as he opened the door, Yan Shao saw their baby boy lying sprawled on the sofa, his eyes closed. It seemed as if he had fallen asleep.

And surprisingly, in his hands, resting on his chest, he was still holding a cup of ice cream.

Yan Shao shook his head with a smile. This little glutton, fell asleep while eating?

He was exactly like his mom!

When Yan Shao walked over, he noticed that the cup was very clean. It seemed that the little boy had licked it clean like a puppy after finishing his ice cream.

Because there was not a trace of ice cream left in the cup.

"Well, quite obedient!"

It seemed that the little boy’s self-discipline was quite strong. He was only allowed to eat a small portion, and even if he felt it was not enough, he didn’t steal more.

The thought of the little boy’s satisfied face as he licked around the cup of ice cream brought a genuine smile to Yan Shao’s face.

Yan Shao took the empty cup from the little boy’s hand and placed it on the coffee table, then bent down to pick the little boy up and carried him back to his room.

Seeing that he slept like a baby, Yan Shao couldn’t bear to wake him, so he took a towel, helped him wipe his face and hands. As for brushing his teeth, skipping it once or twice wasn’t the end of the world!

Such things would never be tolerated by the fastidious eldest young master in the past or by anyone else.

But his tolerance standard was clearly different for his son and Zhu Qianying compared to other people.

After taking care of the young master and walking out to the living room, he happened to see Chen Jing coming back from outside.

"Mom! Are you finished for the day? How was the business tonight?"

Yan Shao was no longer the aloof young master, but a considerate and caring son-in-law who knew how to show concern.

"Pretty good, we made over a thousand yuan more than yesterday, possibly because the customers ordered expensive dishes tonight."

This extra thousand yuan wouldn’t have been considered much by Yan Shao, but for a home-cooked restaurant operating on a small scale, this was a significant increase in sales.

"That’s great, mom. You should seriously consider the idea of opening a branch. Our company has many commercial properties in other areas, if you’re interested, Qianying and I can keep an eye out for you."

Chen Jing opened her restaurant, not with the intention of making big money.

She just wanted to contribute to the family income as much as she could to lighten her elder daughter’s burdens.

Now, seeing the potential for the restaurant’s development, she felt a little lost and uncertain. However, she also understood that everyone’s suggestions were correct from a development perspective.

"Hmm, I’ll consider it. Is the baby boy asleep?"

Yan Shao, who was standing at the door of the little boy’s room, nodded, "Yes, he just fell asleep! He fell asleep holding the ice cream cup after finishing it!"

Chen Jing’s eyes glanced at the coffee table in the living room and noticed the empty cup, which made her laugh.

"That little glutton, he’s been eager to eat the ice cream ever since Qianying brought it home yesterday. Now, he’s finally had it!"

A tender look appeared in Yan Shao’s eyes, "Yes, he must have been thinking about it all this while. He came to ask us right after his shower, and when I told him he could only have a small cup, he kept to that limit and then licked the cup clean."

Yan Shao never realized these simple family moments could bring such genuine happiness and joy.

This kind of happiness was different from the exhilaration he felt when he scored big projects.

These moments of joy sprang up gently from his heart. They seemed ordinary yet were incredibly reassuring, bringing peace of mind.

"Despite being cheeky and sometimes ill-mannered, he knows his boundaries!"

Chen Jing deeply loved her grandson. After all, she had personally raised him. Her love and affection for him were even greater than that for Zhu Qianying and her sister combined.

Perhaps, because she felt guilty towards her daughters, she was even more affectionate towards their baby boy.

"His mouth is indeed bad!" Yan Shao remembered how the little boy used to be defensive and prickly when he first came back, and how extremely ill-mannered he was.

"Heehee, he’s only bad to you, he never says anything harsh to Qianying." Chen Jing had a keen insight into matters concerning the younger generation.

Yan Shao completely agreed with this.

"Where’s Qianying? Has she gone to bed already?"

Chen Jing suddenly found it strange that she hadn’t seen her daughter since she came in.

"She’s sketching!" Yan Shao pointed towards their room and answered honestly.

Chen Jing nodded to show she understood, then advised him.

"When she gets caught up in her work, she forgets about time. You should remind her to go to bed early! While she may think it doesn’t matter to stay up late now, she’ll regret it in a few years!"

Yan Shao was slightly embarrassed. He thought Chen Jing might have noticed something and was indirectly reminding him to be moderate.

But in reality, Chen Jing hadn’t thought about it that way. She was strictly commenting on Zhu Qianying’s tendency to lose herself in work.

It’s often said that guilt makes one find connections even in unrelated things.

"Mom, I understand, I’ll keep an eye on her."

Of course, he would also remind himself not to indulge recklessly in desires!

He wasn’t sure whether it would hurt him or not, but the key thing was - he could hurt her!

Yan Shao brought two glasses of water into the room. He silently placed one near Zhu Qianying’s hand and the other on the bedside table.

Yet, he was holding a laptop and sat cross-legged on the bed busying himself.

Zhu Qianying was completely engrossed in her design sketches. She had no idea when Yan Shao had come out of the shower, when he left the room, or when he brought the glass of water back.

It was only after the initial design was sketched out that she reached for the glass to take a sip of water.

Then she realized that this was not the cup she usually used, and on the bed she saw Yan Shao who she had apparently forgotten about.

It wasn’t that she deliberately neglected Yan Shao, but when she immersed herself in her work, she often forgot herself. This was precisely why Chen Jing specifically reminded Yan Shao to remind her to go to bed.
