Chapter 603: Chapter 603: A Different Flame Young Master

"Mom, how did it go with uncle this afternoon?"

Anxious about this, Zhu Qianying was deliberately watching a movie online in the living room to wait for her mom and ask about the result.

From Chen Jing’s expression, the outcome could not be discerned.

"It remains the same..."

Chen Jing’s tone was calm, quite different from her previous devastated reaction.

"Mom, are you okay?" Zhu Qianying was worried her mother was suppressing her feelings to the point of internal injury.

Chen Jing looked back at her, innocent-faced, and asked, "What could be wrong with me?"

Seeing Zhu Qianying still frowning, she quickly comforted her.

"Don’t worry, I’m prepared. If it doesn’t work once, I’ll try twice, or three times if need be. One of these times, my elder brother will open the door for me."

Zhu Qianying scrutinized Chen Jing’s face for a while, confirming that she was really okay before helping her up to the bathroom for a shower.

The mother and daughter chatted in Chen Jing’s bedroom for a bit more, and after Chen Jing left for a bath, Zhu Qianying returned to the study to keep Young Master Yan company.

Lately, Young Master Yan had become increasingly difficult to please.

He had been working late alone in his study for years without complaint, but recently, he had been lamenting repeatedly to Zhu Qianying about how painful and boring it is to work alone.

Zhu Qianying, being soft-hearted and indulging him, brought her own computer to keep him company in the study after hearing his grievances a few times.

When she had her own work, she would pull up a chair, set her laptop on a corner of his desk, and do her work. His desk was big enough, and they wouldn’t get in each other’s way.

If she had nothing to do, she would curl up on the sofa with her laptop, her earphones on, surfing the web, watching movies, and listening to music.

When she was tired, sometimes she would fall asleep curled up on the sofa. When she woke up, she would find herself in the study’s rest room, alone, with faint light coming from the door.

Night after night passed like this. Much more mundane than the passionate love depicted in movies.

Yet, it inexplicably softened her heart, stirring emotions within her.

When she was busy, she would occasionally catch him, sitting not far away. His handsome profile and neatly trimmed sideburns would hold her gaze, until he would also look up and lock eyes with her for seconds, before he grinned, slid his chair over with a kick, and kissed her on the lips......

If she was not busy and he was tired, he would occasionally come over to tease her. While she was engrossed in a movie, he would tickle her feet, and after having his fill of bullying her, he would pull her onto him and ravish her.

When she was tired and fell asleep unknowingly, she would wake up nestled in a blanket filled with his scent. Squinting at the weak light filtering in from under the door, she would feel unexpectedly at ease and stable.

This gradual warmth and affection made her get used to keeping him company during his late-night work in the study. It wouldn’t be too much to say she was even a little attached.

So now, after coming out of her mom’s bedroom, she quite naturally headed towards his study.

When she walked in, she tried to do so quietly, because she could hear Young Master Yan’s cool and unfazed voice from inside. There was no doubt he was conducting a video conference with the executives.

With familiarity, Zhu Qianying began to notice that Young Master Yan’s tone and demeanor would change depending on the situation or the person he was dealing with.

For example, right now, when he was talking to a subordinate, his voice was mostly cold and impassive.

Most of the time when he was talking to his parents, he used a defiant tone.

When dealing with her mom, he used a considerate tone as the good child he was.

Most of the time towards the baby boy, his voice was doting, but when the brat was too naughty, he would give him a stern warning, scolding him until the brat corrected his behavior.

However, when it came to her, he seemed not to have any fixed pattern.

Sometimes he would use the cold voice he used with his subordinates when speaking to her. This usually meant he was angry at her.

If he was defiant towards her, it mostly meant he wanted praise or to be spoiled.

If he was behaving obediently and politely, it meant he needed something from her.

If he was dotingly indulgent, it meant he was cherishing her and if he was severely scolding, it meant he was disappointed in her inability to improve.

Given these nuances in thinking and analysis, Zhu Qianying realized that Young Master Yan had transformed from the one-dimensional paper man in her initial impression to a full, three-dimensional, multi-faceted man today.

And she found every facet of him adorable!

So, this was to say that she was beyond saving.

Young Master Yan finally finished the video conference and looked over at her, meeting her scrutinizing gaze head-on.

"What’s up? Infatuated with a good-looking guy again?"

While speaking, he stood up and moved over to the sofa step by step. When he sat down, he naturally pulled her into his arms.

Zhu Qianying poked his chest in annoyance.

"Do you know what the word ’modesty’ means?"

Young Master Yan shook his head, "No clue!"

Before Zhu Qianying could ask more, Young Master Yan counter-questioned her, "Do you know who needs to be modest?"

Zhu Qianying had to shake her head too, "No clue!"

"Only those who lack confidence in their abilities, who believe they can’t out-compete others, need to be modest. Only those who lack confidence in their looks, who believe they aren’t as handsome as others, are modest."

At his warped reasoning, Zhu Qianying was left speechless.

Young Master Yan seemed very pleased with her reaction. He bent down to kiss her, and after letting go, he asked in a slightly husky voice, "So, baby, do you think your handsome and capable husband needs to be modest?"

Zhu Qianying had no energy left to argue. She just tilted her head, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep against him.

Actually, admitting her infatuation with him wouldn’t matter.

But occasionally, she could be ticked off by his smug demeanor, like right now.

Young Master Yan held her, letting her pretend to sleep in his arms. But pretending to sleep eventually made her actually drowsy. When she woke up, she initially thought she had once again fallen asleep in the study’s rest room with the feel of the soft bed beneath her.

But upon opening her eyes, she saw the bedroom furnishings.

She had once again slept so soundly that she hadn’t noticed being carried from the study to the bedroom?

No wonder, he always calls her a pig!

But in reality, her sleep isn’t usually this sound. It’s just that whenever she was with Young Master Yan, she would fall into a deeper sleep.

Perhaps it was because her subconscious mind had recognized him as someone she could depend on. That’s why she could let her guard down completely and sleep soundly without any suspicion or defenses.

This state could be considered dangerous.

But at the same time, it could also be considered blissful.
