Chapter 718: Chapter 718: No Returns Allowed
The gaze of Young Master held on the mother and son for quite a while before he finally looked away.
"I hope that this is not just a show."
Ke Kai had not yet become a father, so even though he knew how anxious his grandfather and Zhu Qianying were, he could not fully understand their feelings.
As the father of two children, Qin Xiu’s view was different from Ke Kai’s.
"Kai Zi, you don’t understand. Sometimes children are better liars than adults. Moreover, they can lie so much that they start to believe their own lies."
Ke Kai thought about it for a while and finally understood what Qin Xiu meant.
"Grandpa, why not take Ying Zi and baby boy out for a few days? Perhaps it could be beneficial for the baby boy’s recovery."
Ke Kai’s suggestion was agreed upon by Qin Xiu.
"Grandpa, Kai Zi is right. We can handle things here, you and Ying Zi should take baby boy out to relax."
Even though they both advised in unison, Young Master stubbornly shook his head, "No, it’s not time yet."
How could Young Master relax before he had caught the mastermind behind all this?
Besides, going out to relax would undoubtedly provide more opportunities for the other party.
Qin Xiu and Ke Kai could not persuade him further.
"Kai Zi, what’s the situation at the Zhu Family?"
In fact, Young Master had always suspected that Zhu Junwei was behind all this.
However, he had been keeping a close watch on the Zhu brothers over this period. Apart from Zhu Zhizhou’s unexpected disturbance, the Zhu brothers had been behaving quite well lately.
"It’s still the same. Zhu Junwei carries all the burdens, while Zhu Haoming takes on all the tiresome and unappreciated tasks. Also, it seems like Zhu Junwei has temporarily given up on his plans for expansion and has been restructuring internally."
Ke Kai reported all that he had found in a detailed manner.
"Has he met with anyone special recently?"
Young Master had confronted Zhu Junwei a few times. Although he appeared to have won every time, he still didn’t dare underestimate Zhu Junwei.
"Not yet..."
"Keep a close eye on him, and also, doesn’t he have a girlfriend?"
Young Master had always been puzzled as all the Zhu brothers, except Zhu Junwei, seemed to have girlfriends or wives.
Of course, after the eldest son, Zhu Junzhao was jailed, his fiancée decisively dumped him.
"Yes, there hasn’t been any related gossip. Though his reputation isn’t great, there haven’t been any rumors about him messing around with women."
Ke Kai’s words left Young Master deep in thought.
After Qin Xiu and Ke Kai finished their reports, Young Master dialed an international number.
"Brother Lei, I’m sorry to disturb you."
That’s right. He was calling Brother Lei, who was in M country – baby boy’s godfather.
"Xiao Yan, since when did you need to be so formal with me? Is something up? Or are you calling just to chat?"
Brother Lei was a very straightforward person, he asked the purpose of the call as soon as he answered.
"Brother Lei, can you help me find out about someone?"
"Sure..."
...
When Zhu Qianying returned home with baby boy, she noticed that the study room door was tightly shut. She patted baby boy’s head and asked him, "Baby, do you want to watch television in the living room or come to the kitchen and help Mommy prepare dinner?"
These past few days, Zhu Qianying and Young Master didn’t dare let baby boy be alone. Not for safety reasons, but because they were worried about his mental state.
Although the little boy had been very calm the past two or three nights, sleeping peacefully, both Zhu Qianying and Young Master believed that this was because of their constant companionship, which made him feel secure and calm.
"Mommy, I’ll help you..."
At noon, Zhu Qianying had already prepared most of the dinner ingredients. So, it only took her about half an hour in the kitchen to prepare four dishes and a soup, both meat and vegetarian dishes.
Baby boy started eating from that day but remained primarily on fish and minced meat. Naturally, Zhu Qianying and Young Master had to conform to the little boy’s palate, thus all the dishes were prepared according to his taste.
The chores the little boy could help with were mainly peeling small cucumbers and carrots to make side dishes, but he had a lot of fun doing so.
This was because Zhu Qianying specially bought a set of kid-friendly cooking tools, which could cut simple flower or small animal shapes.
So, when Young Master came out to have dinner after finishing his work, he found that today’s dishes were full of childlike charm, adorned with green leaves, orange butterflies, and small green and orange fish.
"Wow, which master chef did all this?"
Ever since baby boy returned, Young Master would also occasionally exclaim in child-like surprise much like baby boy.
"Of course, it was Mommy and me! Mommy is the chief, and I’m the assistant! Look, these leaves, butterflies, and small fish are all my masterpieces. Pretty cool, right?"
The smug look on the little boy’s face made Young Master couldn’t resist but lean forward and nibble on his cheek.
Compared to the leaves, butterflies, and small fish on the table, he would much rather take a big bite of his precious son.
Zhu Qianying came in with the soup and found the Eldest Young Master unwilling to let go of his son. She teased, "Eldest Young Master, do you still want to eat?"
Only then did the Eldest Young Master let go of his son. He nodded eagerly at her, "Of course, the dishes are so delicious, how can I not eat?"
The little boy was also a flatterer. He quickly spread his hands and started banging forcefully on the table while echoing the Eldest Young Master, "Of course, Mommy’s dishes are so delicious, how can I not eat?"
Zhu Qianying laughed and shot a glance at the father and son duo before sitting down.
Young Master picked up the bowl while the little boy immediately bent over the table and started scooping soup into Young Master’s bowl with his spoon.
The grandfather and grandson were working seamlessly together, filling the bowl to almost full.
"Dear wife, please have some soup." The Eldest Young Master offered the soup to Zhu Qianying.
And the mini version of him who looked exactly like him but a few sizes smaller turned his head to look at her with a smile, saying, "Mommy, please have some soup!"
Zhu Qianying laughed, picked up her bowl, and glanced at the two of them, "When did two parrots fly into my house?"
The Eldest Young Master calmly handed his bowl to baby boy but his eyes were on Zhu Qianying, "Madam, aren’t you curious what breed these high-quality parrots are?"
His narcissism made Zhu Qianying spit out the soup she had just sipped.
Fortunately, she quickly turned her face to the other side as she spat. Otherwise, the four dishes and soup would have been ruined for tonight.
"See how much fun you’re having! Madam, we offer no returns or swaps once we’ve entered the door, so please treat us kindly!" The Eldest Young Master was having a great time. He quickly handed Zhu Qianying a napkin to wipe her mouth, while still teasing her.
