Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Hmm, Very Ambitious (Fifth update)

The driver first took Luo Yifan and Chen Jing back to their apartment, then carried Zhu Qianying’s family of three back to the Yan Family residence.

Given that baby boy had behaved well all day, Zhu Qianying thought that his behavior from the previous night was merely an accidental anomaly.

However, once they returned home, she quickly realized that she had been overly optimistic.

"Baby, it’s getting late. Go take a bath and go to bed."

"Okay!"

Baby boy agreed cheerfully and ran upstairs.

While the young Yan went to the study to conduct a video meeting with the executives, Zhu Qianying went to the kitchen to check supplies, planning to prepare breakfast for the two grandpas early the next morning.

After briefly checking the fridge and stepping out, she was mentally calculating how to use the limited ingredients to make breakfast that both grandpas would love, while slowly climbing the stairs with the help of the railings.

Just as she reached the second floor, a bedroom door on her left swung open, and a small figure rushed out.

"Mommy, can I take a bath in your room?"

During their conversation, baby boy, who was already in front of Zhu Qianying and had his pajamas and underwear in his arms, asked.

Zhu Qianying inquired confusedly, her hand on the child’s head, "What happened? Is the faucet in your bathroom broken?"

Baby boy shook his head vigorously, "No, no..."

"Then why do you want to bathe in our room?" Zhu Qianying seemed puzzled.

Baby boy didn’t bother explaining and tugged Zhu Qianying forward, urging her "Mommy hurry. It’s late now, and I need to bathe and sleep soon!"

Glancing at the time, Zhu Qianying noted that it was indeed late, nearly ten o’clock. Usually, by this time, baby boy would already be fast asleep under the quilt.

Given this, she decided not to argue with him, taking him by the arm to the door of her bedroom.

The little boy extended his chubby finger to the fingerprint scanner at his height, and the door opened with a beep.

"Mommy, I’ve grown taller!"

Zhu Qianying hummed in questioning, looking down at him.

Baby boy pointed at the fingerprint scanner, "I used to have to tiptoe to reach this scanner, but now, I can reach it just by lifting my hand!"

Baby boy seemed proud, so Zhu Qianying didn’t have the heart to deflate him, "Yes, baby boy, you have grown a lot."

Having received Zhu Qianying’s affirmation, baby boy jumped with joy and ran into the room. He was so happy that he didn’t even notice when his underwear fell onto the floor.

Shaking her head with a smile, Zhu Qianying picked up the underwear and waved it in front of his eyes as she approached.

"Little friend, you dropped your underwear!"

Baby boy snatched his underwear back with a gleeful laugh, "Mommy, I’m not a little friend anymore. I’ve grown taller. And when I’m a little taller, I’ll become an adult. Then I’ll be able to fly to Bai Xiaolu all by myself!"

Zhu Qianying was slightly taken aback, Was this the reason for his good mood all day?

It must have been something similar that Teacher Xiao had said to him.

"Yes, you’re right. Once you grow a little taller, you’ll be able to visit Xiaolu by yourself!"

Zhu Qianying didn’t dare say that, right now, they didn’t even know where Xiaolu was.

Baby boy, humming a discordant tune, went into the bathroom, while Zhu Qianying sat down on the sofa outside, praying silently for news from her best friend.

Upon baby boy coming out of the bathroom, he didn’t ask anything and directly climbed onto the bed, saying, "Mommy, I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep first!"

Having said this, he crawled into the quilt, dutifully lying in the middle of the bed.

Zhu Qianying felt both amused and sad. Walking over to him, she plants a kiss on his face, "Alright, goodnight, baby!"

It seemed he had been forcing a smile for most of the day.

When Yan finally finished his work and returned, Zhu Qianying was holding a book and leaning against a cushion on the terrace reading.

First, Yan saw his son lying in the middle of the bed, sleeping like a log. He walked over, supported himself on the edge of the bed, and kissed his son’s rosy lips. Then he gently tucked his son in.

Afterward, he strode toward the floor-to-ceiling windows, bent down and seating himself on the carpet next to her.

"All done?" Zhu Qianying closed her book, turning her head to look at him.

Yan replied with a nod, pressing forward, their lips met. Following a lingering kiss, he took Zhu Qianying into his arms. Back-to-back with the large bed, they faced the outward view together.

Sitting quietly, watching the dancing shadows of trees outside, it took a while for Zhu Qianying to come back to her senses from the ambience created by their kiss a moment ago.

"Baby boy wants to grow up quickly so he can take a plane to Xiaolu by himself..."

Zhu Qianying’s delivery implied worry.

Yan laughed and said, "That’s ambitious!"

His gaze dropped, and his large hand stroked from her head to the end of her hair, the movement was extremely gentle.

Zhu Qianying couldn’t fathom his logic, "What in the world is that? Is this ambition?"

Yan didn’t react, his fingers moved freely through her hair.

"Baby, you always think he is too young and doesn’t understand many things. In fact, we underestimate him. He understands everything," he said.

The movement of Yan’s hand did not stop. His casual way of talking made Zhu Qianying look askance.

"I don’t understand..."

"You and I both think that Bai Shao taking Xiaolu back home is not a good thing, right?"

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, I always feel that the Zong family is too complicated, Bai Shao’s personality doesn’t fit into such a major clan."

"Yes, these are our opinions. But baby boy clearly feels in his heart that Xiaolu’s departure may be the beginning of hardship. Therefore, he is eager to grow up quickly to see Bai Xiaolu. So, I think baby boy is ambitious and responsible. Is there anything wrong with this?"

After Yan explained, Zhu Qianying reflected for a moment. It seemed to make sense.

If it was just a simple separation, given baby boy’s nature, he would not have reacted so strongly. Just like before when he had been with Beibei and Guoguo for a while, they all had a great relationship. During the parting, they were also reluctant to leave each other, but it was not an earth-shattering kind of sadness.

Perhaps it’s because he knew that the separation from Beibei and Guoguo was only temporary, and they could meet anytime they wanted.

For Bai Xiaolu’s sake, however, baby boy seemed to be more sensitive than his parents.

Or, as soon as he heard the news of Bai Xiaolu’s departure, he unconsciously assumed that Bai Xiaolu would never come back after he left.

That’s why he was so sad and lost.

Yan took out his mobile phone and showed it to her, "Jiang Qi sent me another video clip a while ago. He said it was filmed a few minutes ago, and it shows daylight in the video."

Zhu Qianying instantly understood, "You mean, Bai Shao and the others are overseas now?"

Yan nodded, "Yes, I asked Qin Xiu to check the latest immigration records, but found nothing."

Clearly, the Zong family had sent the people overseas in the same way they had done for Bai Xiangdong’s treatment.
