Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Mysterious Jealousy (Fifth Update)

Zhu Qianying could only pin her hopes on her uncle from the Yan Family. As for matters regarding the school, Zhu Qianying never asked, because she knew that if there was any progress, Yan Junior would definitely take the initiative to tell her.

Zhu Qianying’s mind was mostly occupied with her son’s situation. In the afternoon, Cheng Ye called her, asking why she had been so flustered that day.

Clearly, Wang Chunsi had told him.

"It’s nothing serious, my little boy had a high fever, so of course, I had to rush back to take care of him. Also, if my mom calls you, just tell her that I have completed my work and have gone on a vacation."

Her mother and Cheng Ye have always had a good relationship, and sometimes, they would have a chat over the phone.

"Is the baby boy seriously ill?" Cheng Ye was a smart man, and immediately understood that Zhu Qianying was hiding the fact that her son was sick from Chen Jing.

"Hmm, a bit, but not terribly. He is a bit contagious though, and you know my mother, if she found out, she absolutely wouldn’t sit on the sidelines ignoring it."

"Okay, I understand now. If your aunt Jing calls in the next few days, I’ll tell her according to what you said." Cheng Ye was easily convinced by Zhu Qianying.

"Alright, thank you."

"Ying Zi, are you sure you don’t need my help?"

Zhu Qianying glanced at someone who had been watching her like a hawk since she picked up the phone and said, "You don’t need to. Just finish your business in M country as soon as possible and come back to take over."

The man’s gaze became sharper and Zhu Qianying felt like her face was about to be drilled by his stare.

She exchanged a few more polite words with Cheng Ye and quickly hung up the phone.

Yan Junior silently watched her put the phone on the coffee table, then stared at her without saying a word.

Zhu Qianying initially wanted to ignore him and picked up her iPad to look up some cases involving hypnotism.

But his staring made her more uncomfortable, so she finally couldn’t help but sneak a peek at him.

"What’s wrong?"

Yan Junior pointed at her phone on the coffee table with his chin and remained silent.

Zhu Qianying pretended to be confused, picked up the phone, and handed it to him. "Do you need to make a call?"

To be honest, she didn’t think there was a need to explain a call made in front of him.

Besides, apart from a few lies related to her son, everything else she talked with Cheng Ye about was about Ying Jewelry. Does that mean she can’t talk about work?

"I don’t need to!" Yan Junior replied indifferently.

His dark eyes stared straight into hers, the kind of gaze that seemed to examine a criminal who had committed a heinous crime, which made Zhu Qianying feel uncomfortable and inexplicably annoyed.

"If you have anything you want to ask or say, just ask or say it directly."

During this period, Zhu Qianying didn’t have the energy to quarrel with him, nor did she want to complicate matters.

"Is mom familiar with Cheng Ye?"

After enduring for a while, Yan Junior couldn’t help but ask.

Zhu Qianying inwardly rolled her eyes. He should have cared about this a long time ago. What’s the point of caring about it now?

"Indeed, they are quite familiar..."

Could they not be? During the few years she and her son stayed in M country, Cheng Ye spent most of his holidays accompanying them.

Therefore, she felt an enormous sense of obligation towards Cheng Ye.

Though from the beginning, she made it clear to Cheng Ye that there was no possibility between them.

But Cheng Ye had taken care of her, her son, and even her mother meticulously throughout the years. At that time, Zhu Qianying often thought that Cheng Ye must have owed her too much in his past life, so he was making amends in this life.

Apart from thinking this way, Zhu Qianying really couldn’t come up with a better reason to relieve her guilt. Despite that, she still felt guilty.

Therefore, even though her studio is about to be established and her brand will soon be born, she had already determined that Ying Jewelry will always be the first collaborator for all her designs.

"Had she ever considered him a son-in-law?"

Yan Junior felt that he might be unreasonable. After all, Zhu Qianying had chosen him. Clearly, between him and Cheng Ye, Cheng Ye was the one who lost the competition.

His current behavior could be described as extremely petty.

Even knowing that, he still couldn’t control his train of thought or his tongue.

"Yan Junior, under the current circumstances, I don’t want to argue with you. In any case, I can tell you that regardless of how my mother viewed Cheng Ye, my son and I have always been very clear about who Cheng Ye is."

Her son always considered him as Uncle Cheng. He depended on him but could never see him as a father.

As for her, she viewed him as a boss, mentor, and good friend. She trusted and depended on him, but she never crossed the line that shouldn’t be crossed.

Yan Junior pursed his lips and remained silent.

I don’t know whether he agreed with her explanation or doubted it.

Zhu Qianying stared at him without blinking. The two of them didn’t say a word.

Eventually, Zhu Qianying was the one who gave in.

She cursed this sullen man in her heart, got up, walked over to him, bent over, lifted his chin, and planted a kiss on his lips.

In matters between men and women, Zhu Qianying was fairly open-minded.

But her open-mindedness didn’t really have much use in front of Yan Junior.

Because this man preferred to be in control in matters between men and women, including kissing.

After Zhu Qianying slowly figured out his character, she took the initiative less frequently.

Yan Junior, indeed preferred to have the control in those private matters between them. For instance, now, despite Zhu Qianying initiating the kiss, he quickly assumed control by pulling her into his lap and very soon, had regained control.

This kiss, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, ignited between two people who at their cores were enormously suppressed and had been physically distant for several days. Once they kissed, the fire started raging excessively.

This kiss quickly heated the two until they were burning, until they were at their limit. Yan Junior whispered into Zhu Qianying’s ear, "Baby, can we move to the study room?"

Zhu Qianying, who was entirely controlled by primal instincts, unconsciously nodded.

...

Zhu Qianying walked out of the study room with a hand on her waist, the first thing she did was go back to the bedroom to check on her son.

The little boy was sleeping soundly, presumably because he was surrounded by the scent of his parents, so even when they weren’t around, he could sleep peacefully.

After spending the afternoon exercising, Yan Junior and Zhu Qianying were able to vent most of their pent-up negative energy.

At this moment, both Zhu Qianying and Yan Junior were feeling much more relaxed than before.

The improvement in their mood was immediately picked up by the little boy.

"Mommy, have you been promoted?"

After the little boy woke up from his nap and Zhu Qianying was helping him change his clothes, he stared at Zhu Qianying and asked.

"Who said that?" Zhu Qianying denied outright.

"You, you’ve been grinning all this while!" The little boy pulled at the corner of her lips.
