Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Your Responsibility is to Earn Money and Support the Family

He looked down with an indulgent gaze, softly asking her, "Is it delicious?"

"Mmm ..." Zhu Qianying opened her mouth and took a bite of the dumpling.

As she chewed, she imitated Young Master Yan’s action, picking up a dumpling from her bowl with chopsticks and bringing it to his lips, saying, "Try mine!"

The once cleanliness-obsessed Eldest Young Master may have never imagined that one day, he would eat food delivered with someone else’s chopsticks, and moreover, out of someone else’s bowl.

But the one offering the food was Zhu Qianying, who was like an extension of himself, so he didn’t think twice, opening his mouth to accept the dumpling.

"Your filling tastes better!" Young Master Yan evaluated.

Zhu Qianying mumbled with a mouthful of food, "Are you trying to enslave me for a lifetime?"

"You can enslave me as well, as long as you don’t mind the awful taste!"

These words of Young Master Yan reminded Zhu Qianying of the Eldest Young Master’s behavior from a while ago, making her burst out in laughter!

"What are you laughing at?" Young Master Yan was puzzled by her laughter.

"I just remembered your blunders a while back. I honestly can’t risk enslaving you!"

What Zhu Qianying referred to was the series of actions Young Master Yan had taken in R City with the Ji brothers, supposedly providing help, which only made things worse.

"You’re not unwilling, you just don’t love me enough!"

Young Master Yan pinched her cheek, unabashedly blaming Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying glanced at him doubtfully, "Your father doesn’t dare to eat the food your mother makes. Are you saying your father doesn’t love your mother enough?"

When Young Master Yan thought of his mother’s disastrous cooking, even his strong mental state couldn’t prevent him from shivering.

"That’s settled then, between the two of us, you’re in charge of earning money and looking after the house. Clear division of labor, no complaints, or you’ll be chopped!"

Zhu Qianying made a chopping gesture, amusing Young Master Yan!

Twenty minutes later.

"Ah ... I’m so full!"

Zhu Qianying leaned back in her chair with satisfaction, patting her belly without any hint of decorum.

Of course, her behavior was due to the partition behind her being raised.

Young Master Yan watched her with a smile, even reaching over to rub her belly himself.

"Who asked you to eat so much? You ate two servings!"

Once again, it was evident that his companion was very easy to satisfy. No need for a romantic ambiance or rare delicacies, just two bowls of simple dumplings from any place would content her.

And most importantly, she was the one who paid.

"Eating is like playing, it’s all about being satisfied! If you can’t even get filled with food, what else is there to enjoy in life!"

Zhu Qianying unabashedly justified her voracious appetite.

"When it comes to eating, it’s best to stop when you’re about 80% full. Always overeating like you do isn’t good for your health!"

Eldest Master Yan might dote on Zhu Qianying, but sometimes, he couldn’t help but nag a little. This time, as he fell into his preaching mode, Zhu Qianying simply closed her eyes and feigned sleep.

More often than not, there was nothing Young Master Yan could do about her. Especially regarding her eating habits, he himself was quite conflicted.

For instance, she usually had two bowls of rice. If she happened to eat a little less, he would immediately express concern, asking whether she was feeling unwell or if the taste of the food was disagreeable.

During such instances, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t mind his nagging. Instead, she’d look at him and simply say, "Mom!"

Young Master Yan could do nothing but submissively shut his mouth.

Just like at this moment, he could only watch her in feigned sleep, again choosing to stay silent.

Only recently did he realize that he was not as principled as he thought he was.

Because, there are always some people for whom, even when you know they’re in the wrong, you wilfully indulge and pamper them.

"Master, where to?"

Not until the driver asked did Young Master Yan remember to direct him. After getting in the car, he had been busy rubbing Zhu Qianying’s belly and lecturing her that he completely forgot to provide directions.

Zhu Qianying, pretending to be asleep, didn’t open her eyes but her lips moved slightly.

"Brother Chen, take me back to the restaurant first."

Young Master Yan stared at her, quite puzzled. It was clear that there were enough people in the restaurant, so why did she always find a reason to go there?

Could it be, she was going to see those two young guys there?

Although he felt a bit uncomfortable, Young Master Yan still coaxed her gently.

"What are you going to the restaurant for? They don’t even serve customers at this hour, and it’s not busy. Why not go home and rest, hmm?"

But Zhu Qianying was very adamant, "No!" Although her voice was filled with sleepiness.

Reluctantly, Young Master Yan told the driver, "Let’s head to the restaurant first, and then take me back to Tong village."

With that, he shifted Zhu Qianying’s body so she could rest on his lap, then covered her with a thin quilt, saying, "Take a nap. I’ll wake you up once we’re there."

Zhu Qianying lazily responded, "Oh ..." Judging by her tone, it seemed like she was about to fall asleep.

Young Master Yan gently patted her back, watching her for a while, then turned to look out the window, pondering on what Zhu Qianying had just said.

Going by the timeline, Chen Jing’s parents were forced to relocate before his wedding with Zhu Qianying, which was followed by Yi Wei’s kidnapping and the Zhu Family’s loan approval.

It wasn’t hard to figure out that the matter with Chen Jing’s parents was orchestrated by Zhu Junwei.

As for other members of the Zhu family, apart from lacking the guts to carry out such tricks, they simply didn’t have the brains.

How many dirty dealings has this Zhu Junwei been responsible for behind the scenes?

Another peculiar point is that despite Zhu Junwei being an outsider in the Zhu family, he has managed to garner their favor. The traditional Zhu family rarely shows such favoritism.

Moreover, the Zhu Family has gone out of its way to clean up Zhu Junwei’s messes time and time again. The degree of compliance is indeed strange.

Could it be that Zhu Junwei has some damaging evidence against the Zhu family, forcing them to aid him at all costs?

The investigators he had sent out had always hit a dead end at a certain point. Could the key to the mystery lie in this question?

As Young Master Yan had a thought, he decided to bring it up with Ke Kai. His fingers were about to hit the dial button on his phone, but he stopped himself.

Thus, Ke Kai in Tong village, unusually, received a long WeChat message from his Master. Although the content of the message surprised him, he was even more shocked that his Master used WeChat for business matters.

In the past, his master never stooped to use such communication applications, always saying, "If there’s an issue, direct dialing gets everything sorted out in a few seconds, why waste time typing?"

But now, not only was his Master using Weibo to interact and display affections with his lady boss, but he had also begun to use WeChat, the app he once despised. It seemed, the lady boss’s influence on his Master couldn’t be underestimated.
