Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Dear, Thank you!

The car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. Yan Shao looked at Zhu Qianying, who was sound asleep on his thigh, hesitating whether to wake her up.

"Sir, you have an appointment with Chairman Xiao at three o’clock..." the driver reminded him quietly.

Yan Shao ignored him, glanced at Zhu Qianying’s sleeping face for a while, then lowered his head to gently bite her rosy cheek.

"Ying’er, wake up, we’re here!"

He propped up her shoulder and pushed her to sit up. Zhu Qianying gave a grunt, opened her eyes, and rubbed them with the back of her hand. Her unfocused eyes first swept over Yan Shao, then turned to look outside the car.

"We’re here... then I’ll go..."

Zhu Qianying seemed somewhat confused, yet her consciousness was clear. She had already touched the car handle as she spoke.

Yan Shao pulled her back, "Wait a moment..."

Zhu Qianying turned her head and looked at him perplexedly. Her eyes were misty and wide. He was used to seeing her either sharp or cheerful, but now she seemed like a little lamb wandering into a wolf pack. His heart pounded uncontrollably at her innocence. He was compelled to lean forward, kiss her eyelid gently, and give her lips another hard kiss before grabbing a wet towel, tearing open the package and wiping her face.

"Even a kitten would lick itself after waking up, you..."

His face and voice dripped with resignation, yet his touch on her face was gentle.

Zhu Qianying didn’t move, just like an obedient little pet, let him scold her and take care of her, wiping her face and neck carefully. Finally, she gave Yan Shao a grateful peck on the lips "dear, thank you!"

Although she didn’t really see the point, she appreciated his sincere efforts and didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm.

Additionally, she understood his meticulous attention to personal hygiene, so she cooperated obediently.

Yan Shao held her captive, demanding a passionate kiss as his payment for his efforts, then reluctantly let her out of the car.

It wasn’t mealtime yet, there were only two people sitting in the restaurant.

One was the owner, Chen Jing, and the other was her competition partner and friend Luo Yifan.

Zhu Qianying pushed the door and entered, and instinctively wanted to back out when she saw the scene before her.

However, Luo Yifan, who was facing her direction, had already spotted her, "Ying’er, you’re here?"

"Uncle Luo, you’re here too!"

Zhu Qianying had no choice but to withdraw her retreating foot and step inside.

Luo Yifan had been showing up these mornings but usually left after lunch. Why was he still here today? Could it be that he was going to stick around all day now?

At this point, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but wonder if he was planning to settle down here.

"Yeah, I didn’t have much to do this afternoon, so I stayed to discuss menu options with your mom."

Zhu Qianying wore a surprised expression. "Are you going to submit it?"

As she spoke, she had already walked over to the table where the two were sitting.

Luo Yifan dragged over a chair from the next table for her. "That’s right, we have to submit it by this Friday."

One’s upbringing and manners can indeed be seen from the smallest details. In Luo Yifan, Zhu Qianying saw a reflection of the good upbringing of the Ji Family brothers.

"Then I won’t disturb you guys, I’ll go home and do some sketching."

Zhu Qianying was the type to carry her laptop with her when going out. She had originally intended to spend some time with her mom and do some of her own work here at the same time.

But now, instead of keeping her mom company, she had ended up being a third wheel. Naturally, she wanted to make herself scarce quickly.

"What’s there to disturb? We can’t agree on anything. It’s good that you’re here. Help us make a decision."

Luo Yifan gestured at the chair he had just pulled over, motioning for her to sit down.

Zhu Qianying looked at her mom. Chen Jing also gestured at the chair, "Ying’er, sit down and help us choose which one is better."

After speaking, she shot a glance at Luo Yifan, "If you had come two minutes later, we would have been arguing again!"

From her mother’s words, it wasn’t hard to hear that arguments seemed to have become commonplace between the two.

Of course, if the reason for the arguments was work, and they were arguing often, wouldn’t it ultimately affect their relationship?

Zhu Qianying studied the two with probing eyes, beginning to feel somewhat worried.

Although they had asked for Zhu Qianying’s opinions, after she offered her suggestions, the two of them still seemed to be at an impasse.

Zhu Qianying glanced at the colorful images sprawled across the table and vaguely regretted not listening to Yan Shao and going home for a big nap.

Of course, she was happy to offer Chen Jing and Luo Yifan advice, but the two seemed to find amusement in arguing, and could debate for a long time over even the smallest garnish issue.

Naturally, this kind of attention to detail was praiseworthy, but as a bystander, Zhu Qianying was truly bored and felt like yawning.

Just as the pair began to argue again about whether to use green grapes or cherry tomatoes for a main dish’s side salad, Zhu Qianying finally couldn’t suppress her yawning anymore.

"Mom, I’m a bit sleepy, can I take a nap in there?"

At this point, Zhu Qianying didn’t care about manners anymore, as she felt deeply that she was a huge unwelcomed third party in this scene!

Although, it seemed like the two key persons were not aware of this and didn’t show any signs of caring.

But it was exactly these people who didn’t notice a gigantic third party presence in their little world that were the most terrifying.

Chen Jing looked up, glanced at her daughter, whose eyes were red from fatigue, "Or you can simply go home and sleep. You should look after the two kids at home. It will be better."

Zhu Qianying checked the time, "I’ll wait a bit, pick up Xiaolu and baby boy from school, and then go home with them. Now, I’ll go in and nap. Uncle Luo, you guys continue!"

Luo Yifan looked at her, "Go ahead, sleep on the sofa. Get a thin quilt to cover yourself to prevent catching a cold, and remember to close the door when you leave."

His tone was like that of a parent’s. Plus, he even knew there was a thin quilt in the office!

Zhu Qianying didn’t find his parental like attitude annoying, on the contrary, she liked it.

"Mm, then you guys continue discussing..." She obediently responded and then got up and went into the office.

Originally she was just planning to take a quick nap on the table, but Luo Yifan’s suggestion to sleep on the sofa seemed more tempting. Sleeping on the sofa would definitely be more comfortable than simply sprawling out on the table.

The sofa was actually a foldable sofa bed that Chen Jing would often pull out for a nap at noon.

That Luo Yifan knew about the quilt suggested that he had probably slept here before too?

Or at the very least, he must have seen her mom sleeping here?

Zhu Qianying realized that some things were better left unexamined. Thinking too deeply about this caused her blood to boil, and her sleepiness vanished completely.
