Chapter 651: Chapter 651: The Happiness of Mutual Support
Zhu Qianying thought Eldest Young Master Yan only agreed to their son’s request to eat at a nearby seafood restaurant near the villa, but it wasn’t until Eldest Young Master Yan led the three of them onto an extremely luxurious yacht that Zhu Qianying realized the lengths he had gone to please his son.
Little did she know, aside from winning their son’s favor, Yan’s bigger motive was to celebrate the "rebirth" of her career.
With this in mind, after ending the call with his son, Eldest Young Master Yan immediately arranged everything.
The waitress led the four of them to a spot near the glass railing. There were no lights on, just two flickering candles on the table. Under the dim candlelight, Zhu Qianying noticed a big bunch of roses, vibrant and dewy, in a vase on the table.
As Zhu Qianying was thinking about this, Eldest Young Master Yan had already taken one out from the bunch and handed it to her.
"Ying’er, congratulations!"
Upon his congratulatory remark, Zhu Qianying finally understood why Eldest Young Master Yan had agreed to their son’s request and even encouraged him to go out for dinner. He had this idea in mind.
"Thank you!"
Zhu Qianying gratefully accepted the rose with a smile. As a token of gratitude, she leaned up and gave Yan a peck on the lips.
Their baby boy followed the entire process with a beaming smile on his face. Once Zhu Qianying finished kissing Yan, he giggled and pointed at his face, "Mommy, what about me?"
Zhu Qianying, who had been smiling, bent down and gave their son a peck on his lips as well.
Then she embraced the little Xiaolu and kissed her on her lips too.
The little child who got kissed climbed onto the chair happily, reached for a rose from the table, and then, rose in hand, stood on the chair and offered it to Zhu Qianying.
"Beautiful lady, would you have dinner with me?"
Zhu Qianying smothered a chuckle, trying to suppress her laughter, and accepted the rose with barely noticeable shuddering shoulders, "Of course, it would be my honor, my Little Prince."
The baby boy got an affirmative response from Zhu Qianying, shot a provocative glare at Yan, raising his eyebrows.
Ignored by Yan, the boy’s childish act seemed not to exist at all.
But Yan was well aware that their son would always hold a more important place in Zhu Qianying’s heart than him.
This knowledge sometimes made him a little bitter, but when he thought that if it wasn’t for their precious son, he and Zhu Qianying wouldn’t even have the chance to meet again, let alone experiencing the warm and loving family life they had now.
"Auntie Ying Zi, this is for you!" Xiaolu, seeing the two gentlemen hand out flowers, decided not to be outdone and climbed onto her chair, following the example and presenting a rose to Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying took it, "Thank you, pretty princess Xiaolu."
The young master took a look at Zhu Qianying and Xiaolu, turned around, and pulled out another rose. This time, he handed the rose over to Xiaolu.
"Bai Xiaolu, this is for you."
Xiaolu seemed startled, then she accepted the rose, eyes gazing downward as if lost in thought.
Seeing her disheartened look, the young master, who initially intended to amuse Bai Xiaolu, felt strangely disoriented. He pulled Zhu Qianying standing behind him, seeking her help.
When Zhu Qianying was about to step in and break the kids’ unusual silence, Xiaolu raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and said softly to the boy, "Thank you!"
For some reason, Xiaolu’s gratitude made Zhu Qianying feel a little heartbroken.
She raised a hand, placing it on the kids’ heads, and grabbed their locks of hair with a firm twist.
"Alright, let’s sit down."
Eldest Young Master Yan, who had been watching it all in silence, pulled the chair out, gesturing Zhu Qianying to sit down through a hand on her shoulder.
The food arrived promptly. Both children got excited when they saw the delectable dishes. They forgot the tear-jerking scene moments ago, dove into the feast, and enjoyed wholeheartedly.
Yan had a bottle of wine opened, then he poured a little bit into two glasses, one for Zhu Qianying and one for himself. He held up his glass and passed it towards her.
"To our Zhu, the talented designer... "
Zhu Qianying smiled, raised her eyes, and locked eyes with Yan. After having an affectionate gaze for several seconds, she clinked her glass with his, "Thank you!"
Zhu Qianying knew that if he hadn’t urged her in the first place, she probably would never have attempted this.
Unless Cheng Ye had brought it up himself.
Their son, who had been eating with his head down, looked up. Seeing his parents’ engrossed in each other, he grinned, revealing a toothless smile.
He felt somewhat triumphant having successfully created this beautiful opportunity for his parents.
Don’t assume a five-year-old wouldn’t understand the intricate relationship dynamics between grown-ups because, in reality, the sensation of love knows no age.
Though he couldn’t express it verbally, seeing this scene was like seeing blooming flowers or beautiful landscapes. It warmed his heart, comparable to standing under the gentle sun in spring.
In contrast, when he returned home, the atmosphere of their parents, although no one was complaining or fighting, still felt cold and icy, chilling him to the bone.
However, even in these blissful times, the young master still felt something was amiss.
As to what exactly that was, he couldn’t quite put a finger on it.
Everyday life still seemed to lack that little extra.
Zhu Qianying had quite a few drinks that evening. Maybe it was because of the roses, the candlelight, the yacht, and the love of her life was by her side; or perhaps it was because of the rebirth of her career, the joy was simply overflowing. Whatever the reason, she, who had already abstained from alcohol for a while, allowed herself to drink to her heart’s content until she got a bit tipsy.
When leaving, she held onto Yan’s arm, squinting at him, she asked, "Why is this yacht rocking so much?"
Yan paused, then lightly patted her head, laughed helplessly, "You..."
His words were filled with deep affection.
When Zhu Qianying failed to get an answer from him but didn’t probe further like she usually would, she only unconsciously gripped his arm tighter, her body instinctively leaning into him more, with most of her body’s weight leaning on him.
Yan slowed his pace, effortlessly supporting most of her weight.
He realized she was drunk.
When she was staggering a bit, he thought about carrying her, to be her very legs.
But he didn’t do so in the end, because he felt that the way they were right now, supporting and helping each other, was a kind of happiness too!
He used to think providing all that he could and giving her the best was love.
But now, he gradually understood that to Zhu Qianying, offering her the best or being her legs wasn’t as touching as simply accompanying her, supporting her when she occasionally stumbled.
