Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Wise and Mighty Grandfather
Since Boss Qian has got someone drunk, naturally, he should be responsible for sending him back to the hotel.
Still, Zhu Qianying didn’t quite trust Cheng Ye in the hands of such a snobbish money-grubbing Boss Qian. So, she politely rejected Boss Qian’s kindness and let Yan Family’s driver transport Cheng Ye back to the hotel with her.
Cheng Ye was decently well-behaved even in his drunken state, he just leaned quietly against the back of the seat throughout the journey, as if he were sleeping.
When they arrived at his hotel, Yan Family’s bodyguards brought Cheng Ye into the guest room, with Zhu Qianying following behind.
Cheng Ye was then placed on the bed. The bodyguard, who came from L City, was fairly familiar with Cheng Ye’s behavior and kindly brought out a towel to clean Cheng Ye’s face.
However, just after his face was wiped, Cheng Ye suddenly sat up, covering his mouth, clearly about to vomit. The bodyguard quickly took him to the toilet.
Since the bodyguard was there and Zhu Qianying’s help was not necessary, she stood by and watched.
Cheng Ye vomited tumultuously in the toilet. Zhu Qianying took out her phone, thinking of asking the driver who was still in the car to bring back some hangover remedies, just then her phone rang.
She looked at it and saw the caller ID displayed a string of words, "I am your brilliant and valiant husband."
Zhu Qianying raised an eyebrow, answered the phone, and before the person on the other end could speak, she broke into laughter and said, "Mr. Brilliant and Valiant Husband, what’s up?"
The caller, Yan, burst into hearty laughter.
"Did you notice the name change?"
Zhu Qianying responded with a hum.
"When your phone alarm went off today, I happened to see the call history while turning it off and noticed how such a brilliant and valiant man as myself has been named ’Boss Guimao’ by his own wife! I accidentally slipped and ended up changing the name, what do you think? Accurate, right?"
Zhu Qianying snorted both in annoyance and amusement, "Accurate!"
She didn’t even bother asking how such a brilliant man as young master Yan, trying merely to turn off an alarm, happened to ’accidentally’ stumble upon the call history or discover her nickname for him. His ’accident’ was a blatant manipulation.
But honestly, young master Yan didn’t put much thought into it. He simply wanted to see if Zhu Qianying had set a special ringtone for him, as he had heard that several executives claimed their wives had done for them while he was at Yanhuang yesterday.
Yan suspected that these executives, feeling inadequate upon seeing his love bite marks, were indirectly flaunting their love in front of him.
Even though he thought so, he couldn’t help but remember the smug expressions of the executives when he turned off Zhu Qianying’s alarm that morning.
He picked up his phone and dialed Zhu Qianying’s number.
Reality soon set in, teaching him a stern lesson - not all things that happen to other people’s wives should be expected with his own wife.
When her phone rang, it was unmistakably the same ringtone that usually plays when someone else called her.
After two rings, Yan hung up precipitously.
Worried that Zhu Qianying would laugh at his naivety, Yan swiftly deleted the call history from Zhu Qianying’s phone. In the process, he found his nickname in her phone book to be quite special.
Boss Guimao?
Is that truly how she saw him?
Due to a rush to catch a flight, Yan didn’t have time to delve into this. He quietly changed his nickname and planned to settle the matter with Zhu Qianying upon her return.
"Have you gone to bed?"
Yan, of course, wouldn’t be foolish enough to bring up these old matters over the phone. After all, it’s better to settle such matters face-to-face to avoid any potential misunderstanding.
"Not yet, I’m still at the hotel."
Zhu Qianying, as straightforward as ever, reported her exact location.
"The hotel? Did you go out for dinner?"
Yan, on the phone, thought Zhu Qianying went out to dinner with all the members of their family.
"Yes. Boss Qian invited us to dinner today, and Cheng Ye got drunk. I’m in his room right now..."
"What? You’re in his room?"
Yan’s voice instantly elevated by hundreds of decibels.
"Get back home right now! How can you be in a room with a drunk man? Zhu Qianying, did you get your brain pinched in a door or something?"
Clearly, upon hearing that Zhu Qianying was in a room with the drunken Cheng Ye, all rationality (and courtesy) had escaped Yan’s mind.
"What are you so worried about? I’m in a room with him, but there are others here too, Wang and Zheng. I’m just staying to make sure he’s okay. Cheng Ye is being looked after by Wang and Zheng. What are you imagining?"
Zhu Qianying returned his shout with a yell of her own!
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
A moment later, Zhu Qianying heard Yan apologize, "Ying’er, I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight."
Upon hearing his softened tone, Zhu Qianying’s heart softened as well.
He must have urgent matters to attend to, rushing back so early in the morning. It’s understandable that upon calling her this late and hearing such news, he would momentarily lose his temper.
"Nevermind, I didn’t explain the situation clearly."
"Okay, don’t be mad. You can hit me when you get back, I won’t even fight back."
Zhu Qianying laughed, "You never fight back when I hit you usually anyway, so this isn’t much of an apology!"
"Okay, then, how about kneeling on a keyboard?"
"A durian shell might suffice..."
As the two of them continued chatting, Cheng Ye, who had just retched his guts out, was brought out of the toilet by the two bodyguards, Wang and Zheng.
"Ying Zi...could you guys...please not...stimulate me..."
After emptying his stomach entirely, Cheng Ye was finally sober. When he heard Zhu Qianying’s gentle voice on the phone with Master Yan, he couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.
Zhu Qianying glanced at Cheng Ye, who had collapsed onto the bed. She told Yan on the phone, "I’ll call you when I get home," and without waiting for Yan’s response, she hung up.
"Cheng, are you feeling better?"
Cheng Ye weakly waved his hand, "Yeah... much better... You should go... it’s getting late..."
Zhu Qianying looked at his pale, sickly face and couldn’t help but worry, prompting her to question again.
"But you look quite uncomfortable. Is there something wrong?"
Cheng Ye closed his eyes, "No... I’m fine, you should leave..."
Despite his reassurances, Zhu Qianying arranged for the driver to bring some hangover and stomach medicine. She stayed with Cheng Ye until one of the bodyguards arrived. Zhu Qianying was then escorted back to the Yan residence by another bodyguard.
