Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Try to Open Your Heart

Zhu Qianying was supervising the two little brats to bathe. While she waited for the baby boy in his room to finish, the little boy quickly urged her to leave as soon as he emerged.

"Mommy, you should check if Bai Xiaolu is asleep. The baby boy can sleep on his own, no problem!"

Even though the little gentleman claimed to be fine, Zhu Qianying still watched him climb into bed, tucked him in, and planted a kiss on his lips.

"Baby, goodnight!"

After letting out a yawn, the baby boy reached up to touch Zhu Qianying’s face, "Mommy, goodnight!"

After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes. A few moments later, his faint snoring could be heard.

Zhu Qianying planted another kiss on his forehead, got up, turned off the light, and silently walked out of the room.

Bai Xiaolu’s bedroom was right next to the baby boy’s room. When Zhu Qianying walked in, the little girl came out with a head full of damp hair.

Without saying a word, Zhu Qianying headed to the bathroom to get the hairdryer, indicating that the little girl should sit on the sofa.

Xiaolu obediently sat down. When Zhu Qianying walked over, Xiaolu wrapped her arms around Zhu Qianying’s waist and rested her head on Zhu Qianying’s stomach.

Ever since Bai Shao accompanied Bai Xiangdong overseas for treatment, Bai Xiaolu became more and more dependent on Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying knew she was scared and was seeking a comforting aura similar to her mother’s.

"Xiaolu, where do you want to go on Saturday and Sunday? Auntie Ying Zi will take you and the baby boy."

Bai Xiaolu snuggled close to her, "I don’t know...ask the baby boy..."

As Zhu Qianying said, the two children’s tempers tend to flare up quickly, but just as quickly, they forgive and forget. Though Bai Xiaolu was previously infuriated by the baby boy’s antics, they had already made up.

While Zhu Qianying was blow-drying her hair, she considered how to cheer up the little girl. However, before she could finish, the little girl’s arms that were wrapped around her waist slackened.

Lowering her head, Zhu Qianying saw that the little girl had fallen asleep in her arms.

Kids will be kids!

Zhu Qianying chuckled and shook her head, sighing quietly in her heart.

Bai Shao and Bai Xiangdong had been gone for three days, and there was still no news.

Of course, it was not just the father-daughter duo who were uncontactable. The Yan family’s bodyguards who had accompanied them and Jiang Qi from the Zong family were also unreachable.

According to Yan Shao’s estimation, if Dr. Zhao had really performed surgery on Bai Xiangdong, they would not be able to communicate with the outside world until Bai Xiangdong was out of the critical period and it was safe for Dr. Zhao to leave. Only then would they hear from Bai Shao’s side.

After blow-drying Bai Xiaolu’s hair, Zhu Qianying carefully put the hairdryer away and ran her hand through her silky hair. Bending down, Zhu Qianying picked her up and placed her on the bed.

Despite being slightly taller than the baby boy, Bai Xiaolu felt much lighter to hold.

Perhaps, the intangible pressure in her heart was too much, causing her to lose quite a bit of weight in just a few weeks.

Zhu Qianying took a few pictures of Bai Xiaolu’s serene sleeping face with her phone and posted them in a few private friends’ circles.

She had no idea when Bai Shao would be able to communicate with the outside world, so she had been posting photos of Xiaolu’s daily life every day for the past couple of days, to let Bai Shao know about the little girl’s situation from afar.

After settling Xiaolu and going to her mother’s bedroom, Chen Jing had finished bathing and was now sitting on the sofa working out some accounts.

"Mom, someone else can handle this. You’re not a machine, you need to rest occasionally."

Chen Jing tidied up the invoices on the table and looked up at her daughter with a smile.

"What’s the big deal? I’m not tired at all."

Zhu Qianying didn’t argue any further. She sat down next to her mother, quietly waiting for her to pour out her thoughts.

Chen Jing then told Zhu Qianying about Luo Yifan’s mysterious disappearance and subsequent abrupt reappearance.

As an outsider, Zhu Qianying understood clearly after hearing her mother’s detailed narration.

Isn’t it obvious? Luo Yifan was jealous!

"Mom, I think you need to let Luo Yifan know about these things that you’ve been seeing and feeling. Whether or not you want to express how you’ve been feeling recently is up to you, just follow your heart in deciding."

Zhu Qianying now held a very optimistic view towards love.

Therefore, she advised her mother to take the initiative to uncover the issues at hand.

Clearly, Luo Yifan’s sudden departure and return indicated that he had thought things through and made some decisions.

From his repeated phone calls to Xiao Yu, it was evident that he cared about her mother. However, her mother’s attitude left him feeling lost, and he seemed to be struggling to find a breakthrough.

Chen Jing was easily persuaded by her daughter as she too had a hunch that this one-sided cold war was not the real solution to their problem.

"Alright, I’ll try to talk to him..."

Even though Chen Jing only took a small step forward, in Zhu Qianying’s view, this small step might determine the future of her mother’s relationship with Luo Yifan.

After talking with her mother, it was nearly eleven o’clock, and her mother was going to bed. Zhu Qianying returned to her room, took a shower, and noticed it was nearly half past eleven and Yan Shao hadn’t returned yet.

She took her laptop downstairs, nestled in the sofa browsing the web for inspiration.

When Yan Shao came home and saw only the night light on in the living room, he assumed everyone was asleep.

Only when he entered the living room did he notice Zhu Qianying, who had fallen asleep hugging her laptop on the sofa.

This girl...

Yan Shao let out an affectionate and amused smile.

He stepped lightly over to the sofa, bent over, whispered in Zhu Qianying’s ear, "Ying’er, I am home."

Just as he was about to lift her up, Zhu Qianying suddenly opened her hazy eyes. Once she recognized him, her eyes become much clearer.

"You’re back?"

Yan Shao planted a kiss on her lips, "Yes, baby, I’m back. Can I carry you back to bed now?"

Zhu Qianying rubbed her eyes, propping herself up to sit straight. "You go take a shower first, I’ll make you a cup of ginseng tea."

The fact that Zhu Qianying, who usually slept very soundly, woke up so easily was entirely because of the strong smell of alcohol that he was carrying.

Yan Shao lifted his arm to sniff his clothes, then frowned. He had remembered to rinse his mouth with mouthwash before entering, but forgot about the smell of alcohol on his clothes.

He looked up to ask her, "Does it smell bad?"

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, indeed it does."

Yan Shao immediately stood up. Having noticed the smell now, he felt uncomfortable.

"I’ll go take a shower first." After saying that, he bent down to kiss Zhu Qianying’s lips. Halfway to her lips, he remembered the strong alcohol smell and instead landed a kiss on her forehead.
