Chapter 680: Chapter 680: It’s not cheesy, it’s love!

On the phone, Zhu Qianying only summarily mentioned Zhu Zhizhou and Luo Yifan moving into the apartment. However, when they met face-to-face and enganged into detail under Mingxuan’s inquisitive questions, Zhu explained the entire series of events.

"Zhu Junwei looked at the brand of Quiet Restaurant..."

Eldest Young Master Mingxuan commented upon hearing everything.

"Why? Isn’t the brand of our restaurant more popular than Quiet Restaurant?"

Zhu Qianying had pondered the possibility of Zhu Zhizhou upsetting her mother, which Mingxuan mentioned. However, after thorough thought, she found it unlikely to happen.

"You. Fool. Our restaurant is indeed popular, but it’s been declining these past few years. Plus, it targets the high-end market. On the other hand, Quiet Restaurant is on an upward trend and its momentum is fierce. Moreover, it targets the middle market. So, if Zhu Zhizhou returns mom back, it means that that Mingxuan’s market would merge with Quiet Restaurant’s. It is not just a straightforward 1+1=2 equation. The result could be infinitely great!"

With Mingxuan’s explanation, Zhu Qianying realized that her thoughts weren’t deep enough.

"Unfortunately, neither Zhu Zhizhou nor Zhu Jun Wei considered uncle Luo."

Zhu Qianying was really thankful that her mother was no longer an ordinary person with no cards to play.

Besides her daughter and Xiao Yu, she now had Luo Yifan and her own career. So today, she was able to confidently and dominantly tell Zhu Zhizhou to leave!

"Yeah, I reckon Zhu Zhizhou still can’t believe that Mom and Luo Yifan could actually get together." Mingxuan also agreed with Zhu Qianying’s viewpoint.

Actually, if all this hadn’t been happening right under her nose, even Zhu Qianying, as their daughter, wouldn’t have believed it.

After all, Luo Yifan and her mother seemed to come from two completely different worlds.

When Zhu Qianying talked about Luo Yifan moving into the apartment, Mingxuan couldn’t help teasing, "Why doesn’t he simply propose?"

Zhu Qianying had thought about this.

"I think, uncle Luo doesn’t want to rush."

Every woman wants to be cherished well and expects gentle treatment from the man she loves.

However, not many men understand this.

Most men are arrogant.

They think they provide a lot to women – endless money, endless material enjoyment; these should be enough.

But, they fail to give women respect.

What really touched Zhu Qianying, their daughter, was not Luo Yifan’s wealth, but rather the respect he had for her mother.

As Mingxuan and Zhu Chingying were having a chat, suddenly a chubby little face stuck onto the glass wall of the kitchen. It was the chubby face of their baby boy.

The little boy, in his swimming trunks all wet, grinned and waved at Mingxuan and Zhu Qianying who stood in the kitchen. Mingxuan waved back at him.

"Bai Shao’s issue, Xiao Lu Zi doesn’t know yet, right?"

Mingxuan’s gaze moved from his son to the small figure in the swimming pool behind him.

"I didn’t tell her!"

Zhu Qianying was afraid that if she told Bai Xiaolu early and there was a delay in the process, it would scare the little girl.

"Hmm, it’s just as well you didn’t tell her." Mingxuan understood better than anyone that the risk of using the secret channels was much greater than following the regular channels.

"Why don’t you go and play with them? I still have half an hour of work to do."

Mingxuan had been with her for over ten minutes. She wasn’t bothered, but she was afraid he might be.

Mingxuan looked at their little boy who was still desperately pulling funny faces and waving at them. After giving Zhu Qianying a peck on her cheek, he said, "Then I’ll go and swim a few laps with them."

A few minutes later, Mingxuan, dressed in his swimming trunks appeared by the poolside.

Zhu Qianying was peeling shrimps, and casually glanced outside, and instantly saw Mingxuan’s perfectly straight legs and well-built, handsome physique. She couldn’t take her eyes off him for a long while.

Until Mingxuan seemed to sense her gaze, turned his head and gave her a wide grin, then blew her a kiss.

Zhu Qianying met his teasing smile and realized that she had involuntarily fallen into infatuation again. Even though she felt her cheeks flushing, she still rallied and blew Mingxuan a kiss in return.

She was a married woman! How could she let her husband tease her like this?

If he teasied her, she should tease him back!

Mingxuan, standing by the pool, seemed to guess her thoughts, pretended to catch her flying kiss, made a heart shape with his hands, and threw it at her.

Young Master Mingxuan, lying on the poolside and watching Daddy keep flirting at Mommy without going into the water, clicked his tongue in disapproval.

"Daddy, it’s so cheesy..."

Mingxuan swung another wave back at Zhu Qianying, then bent down to pinch his son’s chubby face, "That’s not cheesy. This is called love!"

The little master clicked his tongue twice more, stroking his bare arm, grumbling, "My goosebumps are all over the ground...and you say it is not cheesy!"

Mingxuan playfully patted the little boy’s head, "Naughty boy, wait until you’re older and trying to woo your wife, then you’ll understand that this is not cheesy. It’s sincerity!"

The boy raised his small face and snorted, "I’m not going to please anyone!"

Mingxuan chuckled and shook his head, "Darling, don’t be so sure, or you’ll be in for a surprise!"

On the other side, Bai Xiaolu swam over and hearing Mingxuan’s last sentence, she couldn’t help but get curious.

"Uncle Mingxuan, did little boy do something wrong again?"

Clearly, she misunderstood Mingxuan’s words.

Mingxuan lifted her out of the water and put her on the edge of the pool, "The little boy didn’t do anything wrong, he just looks down on Uncle Mingxuan."

Bai Xiaolu didn’t understand what Mingxuan was saying. She tilted her head in thought for a while and still couldn’t figure it out, "Uncle Mingxuan, you’re really amazing. Why does little boy look down on you?"

Little boy skillfully rolled his eyes at Mingxuan and stuck his tongue out at him.

"Yeah, I look down on you for being scared of Wife!"

Most of what the little boy said was just for fun. After all, he could feel that his father’s feelings towards Mommy were not fear, but love and respect.

However, being his age, he could not categorize such feelings into appropriate words. Therefore, he described his father’s soft-spoken behavior with Mommy as being "scared of his wife."

After making his provocative statement, the little boy, afraid that his father would hold him accountable, plunged underwater in a flash.

Eldest Young Master Mingxuan, however, was not about to let him off the hook so easily. Following his lead, he, too, plunged into the water in pursuit of his precious son. A few quick strokes and he’d caught up with the boy, scooping him up in his arms, and together they surfaced.
