Chapter 681: Chapter 681: You’re Very Talkative

As Zhu Qianying cooked, she watched with satisfaction as Yan Shao played with the two children outside. The thought of her close friend and her daughter returning soon made the heavy burden in her heart feel a lot lighter.

The dinner was sumptuous, filled with dishes that Yan Shao and the two little ones loved, filling up the table to the brim.

After getting some exercise with the children, Yan Shao’s appetite was surprisingly good. The table full of meat and vegetables was almost devoured in no time.

The corners of the two little ones’ mouths were full of oil as they ate. Zhu Qianying usually didn’t mind, believing that kids should be allowed to eat heartily.

Yet, Yan Shao was different, or perhaps it was a habit, noticing the oily faces of the children, he couldn’t help but use a wet towel to wipe their mouths every now and then.

The two brats were quite accustomed to his fussiness and would stretch their necks towards him whenever they saw him holding his towel, cooperating with his cleaning efforts.

"Uncle Yan, sometimes you are quite naggy!"

Bai Xiaolu chuckled to Yan Shao while gnawing on a crab claw, she didn’t know the term ’fussy’ so she called Yan Shao ’naggy’ for constantly tending to her and her brother.

Yan Shao wasn’t upset, he just placed his big hand on her forehead giving it a rub, "Is nagging a bad thing?"

Bai Xiaolu thought about it, then smiled and nodded, "It’s pretty good, Uncle Yan nags because he cares about me and my brother."

Yan Shao sighed in his heart. If her father, Zong Zhe, were here and saw how considerate his daughter is, he would have been overjoyed.

"Bai Xiaolu, let me tell you, my daddy isn’t naggy, he’s fussy!"

The little boy had been utterly engrossed in scooping up the crab’s eggs to eat. Only after finishing his food did he spare the time to explain to Bai Xiaolu.

Zhu Qianying laughed out. Her son had heard her use the term ’fussy’ so often that he’d picked it up too.

The eldest young master Yan flashed her a curious glance, then patiently explained to his son, "Baby, whether daddy is naggy or fussy, he’s always doing it for your good, isn’t he?"

The little boy nodded heartily, "Yeah, you’re right! Daddy really cares about me and Bai Xiaolu."

After spending some time together, the little boy seemed to have gotten used to mentioning himself and Bai Xiaolu together. He had never felt jealous that his parents treated Bai Xiaolu well.

On the contrary, he always felt that it was a given.

What he didn’t know was that his parents’ reason for treating Bai Xiaolu well were different.

Zhu Qianying was fond of Bai Xiaolu because she was the child of her good friend Bai Shao.

As for Yan Shao, although part of his affection was due to her being the child of Zhu Qianying’s best friend, primarily it was because she was Zong Zhe’s daughter.

The little boy had no idea that Bai Xiaolu, like him, was also from a wealthy family.

What he had, Bai Xiaolu did too.

This sumptuous dinner took longer than usual to finish. The two overstuffed children collapsed on the living room sofa after the meal, chatting while rubbing their bellies.

The servants took the dishes back into the kitchen, while Zhu Qianying went to take a shower.

By the time she finished her shower, the two children were surprisingly fast asleep on the sofa, their heads leaning against each other.

Meanwhile, Yan Shao was busy on his laptop, sitting on a single-seater sofa.

"How did they fall asleep so quickly?"

Zhu Qianying tip-toed over and covered the two children with a thin quilt.

Yan Shao glanced at the two sleeping children, "I guess they’re worn out from playing. Swimming takes a lot of energy, having eaten so much, I feel like sleeping too."

Zhu Qianying smiled at him, "Then why don’t you go to sleep?"

Yan Shao put aside his laptop and pulled Zhu Qianying onto his lap.

"I thought you were planning to stay up all night."

Zhu Qianying was momentarily stunned, "Huh? Why?"

"I thought you would wait for Uncle Dong and Bai Shao to come back..." Yan Shao said in a low voice.

Only after he mentioned it did Zhu Qianying remember, that she indeed had that intention.

Yan Shao had told her that Bai Shao and her father might arrive at two or three o’clock in the morning, so she indeed intended to wait here.

Firstly, she was worried.

Secondly, she was afraid that the long journey might take a toll on Uncle Dong’s health and he would need someone to take care of him when he got back.

"Yes, I really plan to wait here for their return."

Yan Shao gently stroked her back, "Don’t worry, I have already called for Du Ting to come over. He will bring some urgently needed medications, to be prepared in case Uncle Dong’s disease relapses."

Zhu Qianying snuggled against him, her hand clasping around his neck, pulling his head lower, she turned her head, and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Thank you!"

Yan Shao opened his mouth and nibbled her lip, "Silly, why are you being polite with me?"

Zhu Qianying winced slightly in pain, but didn’t say anything else.

The two spoke softly for a few more moments and then Yan Shao picked up Zhu Qianying and moved her to the armrest of the sofa.

"You stay here first, I’ll take them back to sleep."

Luckily, after swimming, Zhu Qianying insisted that they should take a bath before having dinner. Now, he could just carry them straight back to the bedroom.

Yan Shao first carried the baby boy back to the room, and quickly returned to carry Bai Xiaolu into the bedroom as well.

The rooms of the two children were next to each other. Usually, their actions were largely synchronized.

For example, getting up. Once a door is opened on one side, the door next door would open after a few seconds.

Or going to bed, both of them usually returned to their rooms to sleep at the same time.

When Yan Shao came out of Bai Xiaolu’s room, he saw Zhu Qianying staring blankly at the doors of the children’s rooms. He asked her.

"What’s wrong?"

Zhu Qianying slightly furrowed her eyebrows, sighed softly.

"I think, Bai Xiaolu may not stay here much longer!"

Yan Shao remained silent, walked behind her, and lightly embraced her in his arms. Apparently, he had the same thoughts as Zhu Qianying.

"Ying’er, we can’t control this matter, so we have to let it be, understand?"

Zhu Qianying naturally understood this. It’s precisely because of this understanding that she had such sighs and frustrations.

In fact, for the baby boy and Bai Xiaolu, perhaps if it hadn’t been for this time of constant companionship, their feelings might not have deepened to this extent.

But fate seems to enjoy playing tricks. After it gave them the chance to develop deep feelings for one another, it insists on separating them.

"Yan Shao, what do you think Xiao Shao will do?"

Zhu Qianying was still holding onto a flicker of hope, but she also understood that such hope was quite selfish.

In the long run, it would be better for Lu Zi to return to the Zong Family.

As for her best friend, Zhu Qianying felt that whether she was abroad or in the Zong Family, it would not interfere with her life.

Because a friend wouldn’t let other people easily dictate her life.

"Probably, just as you have thought!"

Yan Shao admitted that he didn’t understand Bai Shao well, but from the moment she decided to accompany Bai Xiangdong abroad for treatment, in fact, she had made her choice.
