Chapter 648: Chapter 649: Seeking Benefits for wife, Part 2

Cheng Ye’s words left Zhu Qianying completely confused.

"This is my new design drawing, if I don’t send it to you, who else would I send it to? Plus, these designs seem to be a departure from my usual style. So I need your approval first, to see if they are acceptable to you!"

Cheng Ye listened silently. After a moment of pause, he looked at her thoughtfully.

"Ying Zi, didn’t Young Master Yan mention it to you?"

Zhu Qianying was confused by his comment, "Cheng, this is my job, it’s between you and me, it has nothing to do with him."

Cheng Ye replied, "Seems like, he hasn’t told you."

"Told me what? Is there something I don’t know about?" Zhu Qianying felt like she was being kept in the dark.

Cheng Ye looked at her deeply, "You should ask him about it!"

From his look, he seemed deeply hurt.

Zhu Qianying had a bad feeling about this. After a hurried goodbye to Cheng Ye, she picked up her mobile phone to video call the "distinguished husband".

The phone was promptly answered after a ring or two, and Young Master Yan’s smiling face appeared on the screen.

"Baby, you miss me already?"

Zhu Qianying shot him a glare, "What’s going on between you and Cheng Ye! You asked him when he was coming back last night, and he just asked me why I sent the designs to his email. He’s my boss, and I’m a designer at his company. If I don’t email him my designs, who else should I email them to?"

Even though Zhu Qianying’s tone was a little sharp, Young Master Yan was still smiling.

"And then?"

And then he had the audacity to ask with a smile on his face.

"And then?" Zhu Qianying was feeling dizzy from their exchanges. "He then muttered something about ’didn’t Young Master Yan tell you?’ I asked him what he meant, but he asked me to ask you. For goodness sake, I’m not the brightest. If you two keep pushing me around, I’ll end up lost and starving in the middle of nowhere!"

Zhu Qianying was genuinely worried. After all, this not only involves her work but also seems to involve Young Master Yan and Cheng Ye.

One’s her husband and the other’s a superior and a good friend.

She wouldn’t want to upset or lose either of them.

Young Master Yan, however, seemed to find her frustration amusing. He kept laughing. Only when she was on the brink of exploding did he finally speak up.

"If I tell you, you can’t get mad at me, alright?"

If Young Master Yan were in front of her at the moment, Zhu Qianying would probably have given him a good slap.

Asking her not to get mad? She was already mad!

Is he blind?

And no scolding? Which law forbids a wife from venting out on her husband when she’s upset?

"Just say it! Or I’m leaving home!"

Zhu Qianying spoke so fast, she inadvertently used the threats that the young master usually used on her and Yan.

After that came out, she almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

But Young Master Yan couldn’t hold back his laughter and let out a hearty laugh. His eyebrows, corners of his eyes and mouth, all wore that grin.

Zhu Qianying felt rather embarrassed, but she could only mask her feelings as she watched Young Master Yan stop laughing and waited for him to answer.

"You really want to leave home? Don’t forget to take me with you! I’m tired of my daily routine too. Always busy, always busy. When will it ever end?"

Zhu Qianying was indifferent to his sentiments. She placed the phone on the stand and watched him leisurely with her arms folded.

Once Young Master Yan finally stopped laughing, she sat upright and stared at him.

"Talk. Or, I’m never cooking for you again!"

As soon as she mentioned food, Young Master Yan quickly surrendered.

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk... spare me!"

Zhu Qianying didn’t want to hear any more of his nonsense, "Not talking? Then you can sleep with our son tonight."

With things escalating to this level, of course, Young Master Yan couldn’t keep hiding it.

"This Cheng Ye, obviously trying to make me the bad guy!"

Zhu Qianying didn’t understand. Given his previous vague attitude, she just raised an eyebrow, didn’t take the bait to ask more questions, and just waited for him to continue.

"Do you remember Boss Qian?"

Young Master Yan’s question seemed irrelevant to what Zhu Qianying was trying to understand.

"Hmm, the owner of that processing factory in Capital City, what about him? Has he changed his mind?" Zhu Qianying couldn’t stop herself from overthinking.

But aside from thinking this way, she really couldn’t figure out what the connection was between that middle-aged man and today’s matter.

And what exactly did Young Master Yan and Cheng Ye do behind her back?

"When Cheng Ye was negotiating the processing fee with Boss Qian, he seemed to charge us an arm and a leg. You should know about this."

Of course, Zhu Qianying knew about it. After all, she was the one who connected the dots.

"I know, didn’t you help with that?"

"Indeed!" Young Master Yan admitted right away.

With this information, Zhu Qianying started to put two and two together.

"So, you helped Cheng Ye first, using this as a bargaining chip in exchange for him to terminate our employment relationship?"

If the truth was as she guessed, not only would Young Master Yan never get to eat her home-cooked meals, he would also have to sleep with their son for quite some time.

Perhaps sensing Zhu Qianying’s anger, Young Master Yan finally wiped off his grin, "Ying’er, I was wrong to act without consulting you, but I think this is the best outcome."

Zhu Qianying frowned slightly, suppressing her anger as she asked.

"So, Cheng Ye is no longer my supervisor? I don’t have to work at Ying Jewelry anymore?"

If that’s the case, this is taking things too far!

She didn’t know about what others thought, but she definitely couldn’t accept this!

"Yes and no! Ying’er, don’t get angry. It’s a long story. Let me finish before you scold me!"

Young Master Yan was hesitating this whole time because he thought it would be better if Cheng Ye brought up the topic.

That way, Zhu Qianying might feel better about it.

But now, Cheng Ye tossed this problem to him. It may seem like he was taking advantage of the situation and making false accusations, but he swore he had no such intentions.

He just wasn’t used to making bad deals, that’s all.

Moreover, based on his understanding of Zhu Qianying, she probably wouldn’t ask to leave Cheng Ye on her own, not in this lifetime.

However, that might not necessarily be a good thing, for her or for Cheng Ye.

"Ying’er, you still work at Ying Jewelry. The only difference is that your relationship with Cheng Ye has changed from being subordinate and superior to collaborators."

Zhu Qianying’s frown did not disappear, "Did you buy shares in Ying Jewelry to become another owner?"

Young Master Yan shook his head, "Of course not, I’m not interested in jewelry. Unless you want to be the owner of Ying Jewelry, I won’t take unnecessary actions."

While Young Master Yan sounded noble, Zhu Qianying thought he had certainly taken unnecessary actions!
