Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Be a Freeloader with Peace of Mind! (Third Update)

Zhu Qianying was rather shocked to receive a call from Luo Yifan.

At first, she thought that something might have happened to her mother. It wasn’t until she listened closely that she realized her future stepfather was planning to accompany her mother to placate her uncle.

The reason Luo Yifan called was to ask Zhu Qianying about her uncle’s interests.

This question left Zhu Qianying feeling bewildered.

"Uncle Luo, didn’t my mom mention that I’ve never met my grandparents or my uncle?" she asked.

On the other end of the line, Luo Yifan let out an audible "Ah!"

Clearly, Chen Jing had indeed mentioned this to him.

"Uncle Luo, all I know is that my uncle is probably around four or five years younger than you, so he should be in his 50s. You should have a better idea of what a man that age likes. But let me remind you not to buy anything too extravagant. Something practical is always best," she advised.

Zhu Qianying specifically mentioned this to prevent Luo Yifan, who comes from a wealthy family, from buying extravagant items that might give her uncle the impression of conspicuous consumption.

She had no idea what Luo Yifan ended up buying.

She didn’t even have much hope for Luo Yifan accompanying her mother back home. As a result, she didn’t pay much mind to it.

In the afternoon, she sat in Yan’s spacious study room, finishing a video call with Cheng Ye. Her mobile phone, which had been set aside, suddenly rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was her mother.

As soon as she answered, she was startled by her mother’s voice, which was several decibels higher than usual.

"Ying’er, your uncle agreed to see me!"

Chen Jing’s voice was high pitched and trembling.

Zhu Qianying thought she had misheard. "What?" she asked.

"Luo and I came over together. He rang the doorbell. Your uncle must not have expected his visitor, so he opened the door and was too shy to turn us away, so he invited us in."

Chen Jing’s voice gradually became calmer and steadier.

"Mom, congratulations! You finally got your wish." Zhu Qianying was genuinely happy for her mother.

"Ying’er, your grandparents are still alive, but their health isn’t very good..."

At this point, Chen Jing’s previously excited voice noticeably softened.

As long as they are alive, it’s good!

These were Zhu Qianying’s inner thoughts, though she didn’t dare voice them aloud.

"Luo made quite an impression too. Not only did he manage to get us through the door, he also managed to get your uncle and his wife to agree to have dinner with us tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Qianying mentally gave Luo Yifan a thumbs up.

Indeed, her mother, with her temperament, really needed to rely on a man who knew how to seize the opportunity.

When it was time to be gentle, he was gentle. But when it needed to be assertive, he was fully assertive.

You could say that if it weren’t for Luo Yifan’s combination of soft and hard approaches, her mother probably wouldn’t have gotten through her uncle’s front door even after another month.

"Uncle Luo is indeed impressive. I almost wanted to call him ’Dad,’" Zhu Qianying joked, truly happy for her mother.

In fact, Zhu Qianying felt that her decision to look up to Luo Yifan as a father was set in stone.

Of course, as long as Luo Yifan was willing, she was more than willing to call him Dad.

"Ying’er, what are you talking about?" Chen Jing asked, her voice tinged with a touch of shyness.

"I’m not just talking nonsense, mom. You should really consider tying down a man like Luo."

...

That night, when Zhu Qianying brought up this matter with Yan, he teased her.

"Ying’er, ask your mom tomorrow what she wants as a wedding gift. I’ll prepare it for her, whether it’s a car or a house!"

Zhu Qianying also laughed. "Can I also ask for a luxury car to drive?"

It’s safe to say that this was the first time Zhu Qianying had truly laughed since the Bai family left.

As Yan stared at her silently, he pulled her into an embrace, laying his chin on her head and gently rubbing it up and down.

"Darling, you know very well that as long as I can afford it, even if you wanted a spaceship, I’d buy it for you."

Zhu Qianying lifted her head and gave his chin a gentle bite.

"Even if you would buy it, I wouldn’t want it. Those funds should be left for our child. I don’t want to be a spendthrift wife!"

Shaking his head, Yan chuckled, "Fool, you’re thinking all wrong. Our child is our responsibility to raise and educate, but we’re not obligated to leave him a large inheritance. And you are my wife. I’m happy to let you spend my money as you please. Nobody else gets a say in this, not even our son."

Zhu Qianying gave in, "So, are you saying that I don’t spend enough?"

"Ying’er, you think too highly of yourself and too little of me. Don’t you think I know? The money that Bai Shao borrowed has all been returned to you, and you deposited every penny of it back into your savings account. The card I gave you for our son’s expenses, so far, you’ve only taken out 5,000 yuan. You tell me, does this look like you’re squandering money? On the contrary, for the past two months, our son and I have been living off you, haven’t we?"

Cheng Ye had recently transferred her the rest of the money he owed her, so Zhu Qianying had indeed been spending her own money recently.

But for her, it was just a habit, not a deliberate attempt to keep things separate from Yan.

Seeing Yan getting more and more frustrated, she couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.

However, she kept a straight face and held her hand out in front of him, "Alright, if the young master is so self-aware, then please hand over all your cards and banknotes. From now on, I’ll feel free to freeload at home. As for you, you can come to me for daily pocket money from now on. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Yan frowned slightly. Zhu Qianying thought that maybe she had gone too far, so she licked her lips and said.

"How about this, just hand over your salary card, and I won’t bother with the rest!"

Yan was still silent, and before she knew it, he had flipped her over and was smacking her bottom a few times.

With a bewildered look on her face, Zhu Qianying glared at him, indignantly asking, "Why are you hitting me?"

Yan clenched his teeth and glared at her, looking quite intimidating.

"Didn’t Old Su have you sign a bunch of paperwork a while ago? In it, he sent you detailed asset statements. After we got back, I gave you the password to the safe, didn’t I? I asked you to set a new one, but you didn’t, did you?"

Upon his mention, she finally remembered. Indeed, there had been such an incident.

But after hearing him out, she forgot about it as soon as she turned her head. She hadn’t even thought to set a new password, let alone open the safe.

Yan stared at her for a long while, becoming increasingly annoyed. Unable to restrain himself, he stretched out his hand and pinched her face, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Don’t tell me, you haven’t even looked in that safe, have you?"
