Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Cheap? It’s all taken!

"That’s absolutely not the case! Mommy, you’re too easy to bully! I need to talk to that old jerk!"

Well then, the "old jerk" she hadn’t heard in a while has made his return.

What was she doing to herself, explaining everything?

This time, she had clearly stirred up a hornet’s nest!

"Baby boy, none of those things matter!" Zhu Qianying attempted to soothe her precious son’s emotions.

"Who says it’s not important? He is trying to take advantage of you!"

Zhu Qianying sighed internally. If this was called taking advantage, he had already taken full advantage long ago. Otherwise, her little boy wouldn’t exist.

"Listen, baby boy! Mommy just wants to tell you that you are like every other child, with a complete family of a mommy and a daddy. What others have, you have too. Do you understand?"

Finally, Zhu Qianying managed to restore the baby boy’s thinking back on track.

"Mm, I understand! Basically, our family will always be together, and I will have brothers and sisters, right?"

Zhu Qianying nodded, "That’s right!"

"So, it’s just like Brother Beibei’s family, right?"

"Yes, just like their family!"

Finally, the baby boy stopped dwelling on the wedding dress and ring. He cuddled at Zhu Qianying’s side to digest this new information, then happily picked up the phone to call Bai Xiaolu.

Zhu Qianying let out a long sigh of relief and left for the dining room to have breakfast.

While eating, she overheard the baby boy raising his voice once again. It was obvious that he and Bai Xiaolu were arguing over something.

Zhu Qianying didn’t bother to ask; those two brats had always interacted in this way. She had thought that after a period of getting along, they would stop fighting once they developed feelings for each other.

However, in reality, the relationship between the two had indeed improved, but the fights continued. Sometimes, they even engaged in physical brawls.

Nevertheless, the two kids were evenly matched in their fights, and they were always careful. No one had ever seen either of them injured due to their fights.

Not even a tiny scratch.

While having breakfast, Zhu Qianying recalled her mother’s "advertisement filming" incident with Luo Yifan and made a phone call to her mother to discuss it.

Even from hearing her mother’s voice through the phone, Zhu Qianying could tell her mother was struggling to respond to her and blamed her for speaking nonsense.

However, her mother agreed to play along with the lie.

After all, if her son continued to question her about this, the person who would feel the most awkward and troubled would still be her.

Over there, after Chen Jing hung up the phone, Luo Yifan, who was waiting for her to explain why the dish needed to be prepared in a specific way, couldn’t resist making a joke seeing her worried face.

"What, did Ying’er scold you again?"

Even though Chen Jing was a mother, it was widely known among all workers of Quiet Restaurant that Zhu Qianying, her daughter, was the backbone of their operations.

As for the boss lady Chen Jing, she was actually a very good-natured person with a very good temperament.

Ignoring him, Chen Jing continued instructing her apprentice to prepare the vegetables and other ingredients.

Even though she was ignoring him, after a while, when the two apprentices left, she finally spoke to Luo Yifan.

"Yesterday’s incident was somehow leaked to the baby boy and he misunderstood that you’re my boyfriend. So, Ying’er told him it was for an advertisement shooting. Mr. Luo, if the baby boy brings this up again, please tell him the same thing!"

Luo Yifan stared at her for several seconds before replying, "Okay!"

Chen Jing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you!"

This time around, Luo Yifan did not ask anything further, not even one additional question.

Chen Jing felt an indescribable emotion seeing how readily he agreed to her request.

Only Chen Jing and Zhu Qianying knew the true identities of the two handsome guys at the restaurant.

However, both of the handsome guys were quick-witted. Their tasks at the restaurant weren’t particularly challenging, and within a day, they were managing their jobs in the restaurant quite effortlessly.

When Chen Jing called Zhu Qianying in the afternoon, she praised the two handsome guys a few times. Zhu Qianying laughed and said, "Why don’t you talk to Young Master Yan and let them stay at the restaurant? After all, they’re pleasing to the eyes, and they might even attract more customers!"

"Won’t that be inappropriate?" Chen Jing seemed somewhat puzzled.

Zhu Qianying massaged her aching back, "Never mind, it’s better if you say it, mom."

Of course, Chen Jing was not astute enough to understand her daughter’s roundabout way of thinking. That night, when she returned to the Yan family, upon encountering her son-in-law, she brought up the matter.

"That’s feasible. After all, they’re still in their trial period. They can stay for three months before Kai Zi will formally hire them. Since you’re willing to keep them, they will certainly be grateful to you."

Without much thought, Chen Jing repeated exactly what her daughter had told her.

"As long as they’re willing, I definitely plan to keep them. They’re quite handsome and easy on the eyes. Perhaps, that might attract even more customers."

Eldest Young Master Yan gave her a peculiar look, "Mom, do you also know about being handsome and looking good?"

In his perspective, even though Chen Jing was only in her forties, her tastes and judgements remained traditional like those of the older generation. Normally, he rarely heard her praising young men for being handsome or good-looking.

At least, he, as her son-in-law, and Ji Huan had never received such praise.

Typically candid, Chen Jing replied immediately, "It’s what Ying’er said!"

Zhu Qianying, who was sitting not far away reading a fairy tale book to her son, lifted her head abruptly to meet the somewhat hostile gaze of the Eldest Young Master Yan, a gaze that made her hair stand on end.

Zhu Qianying shivered as she held her son tighter, whispering in his ear, "Baby boy, will it be okay if mommy sleeps with you tonight?"

Without thinking, the little boy happily replied, "Sure!"

Having said that, it seemed as if the boy remembered something. He wriggled out of her embrace, scanning the room. As his eyes met his dad’s, he curiously extended his chubby finger, poking Zhu Qianying’s face.

"But what about daddy?"

Zhu Qianying didn’t even lift her head, "He’s not a child, he can sleep by himself."

"But I’m not a child either. I can sleep by myself too..."

At times, the little boy could be quite quirky, but other times, his straightforwardness was endearing.

After all, he was only a five-year-old child.

"But mommy wants her baby boy to sleep with her..."

After taking another look at his dad, ultimately, he made a decision, "Okay... we can sleep together tonight."

Zhu Qianying had indeed done a good job of keeping her intentions hidden. The Eldest Young Master Yan, on hearing about her plans to sleep with the baby boy that night, merely responded nonchalantly, "Sure, off you go!"

Zhu Qianying breathed a silent sigh of relief internally, thinking that she had truly managed to escape.

With her worries melted away, she put her son to bed. Before long, feeling drowsy herself, she fell asleep as well.
