Chapter 770: Chapter 770: Top-Class Good Man

On Monday, the Eldest Young Master, Yan, returned to Yanhuang wearing his one and only bracelet designed exclusively for him. Qin Xiu had already seen his boss’s boastful Weibo post the night before.

The accompanying picture on the Weibo post did not include any faces, but three hands of different sizes and skin tones, all wearing differently styled bracelets that were clearly of a parent-child set, overlapping from bottom to top.

The caption for the picture was also very succinct, "The three of us!"

Such a simple picture and words, but they were enough to make many of Eldest Young Master Yan’s followers heartbroken, including Qin Xiu.

"Boss, are you sure it’s alright to flaunt your love life like this?"

Young Master Yan glanced at him, "Who am I bothering?"

After having a quarrel with Shao Shan over their children’s matters last night, Qin Xiu had hoped to cheer himself up by browsing Weibo. Unexpectedly, he was bombarded with an overdose of public displays of affection by his boss. The strange combination of pleasure and pain was only known to him alone.

Fearing that if he continued to ask, he would be further traumatized, Qin Xiu didn’t dare to bring up the Weibo matter anymore. Looking left and right, he eventually realized what was different about today.

Recently, the boss and boss lady always came and left together, even picking up their son together. This has made many envious, both colleagues and passers-by. But today, the boss cut a solitary figure without any trace of displeasure.

How odd!

"Boss, where’s Ying Zi?"

"She’s not coming in anymore," replied Eldest Young Master Yan indifferently.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Qin Xiu asked, "Why?"

"Pregnancy rest!"

Young Master Yan’s answer was as succinct as always, fitting his cool and aloof image. However, the corners of his mouth twisted into an obvious smile.

Qin Xiu was startled for a moment before he finally caught on, and he quickly congratulated Yan, "Boss, congratulations!"

Feeling good, Yan was about to open the door when he turned to Qin Xiu and said, "Inform the finance department to increase the mid-year bonus by five percent!"

Overjoyed, Qin Xiu rushed back to his office to inform the head of the finance department.

Zhu Qianying, who was ordered by Eldest Young Master Yan to rest at home due to her pregnancy, seemingly obediently agreed. But in reality, not long after Yan went to work, she got out of bed, ate breakfast, and sneaked into the study to work on her design drawings.

Perhaps it was because the issue with baby boy had been resolved, or maybe it was because the baby in her belly gave her incredible motivation. In any case, she had been brimming with inspiration lately, with many new concepts and ideas flooding her mind.

Yan didn’t want her to return to Yanhuang for work, but she really didn’t mind. With her computer at hand, she could work from anywhere.

So as not to arouse Yan’s suspicions, she would go downstairs every one or two hours to find something to eat or drink and show her face, so Uncle Hai couldn’t rat her out to Yan.

At noon, she was just about to have lunch when Yan’s phone call came promptly.

"Baby, have you eaten yet?"

Yan made a video call. Zhu Qianying didn’t say anything, just swept the camera across the table full of dishes that looked like a banquet.

"Hmm, the food seems decent. Remember to tell Uncle Hai if there’s anything you want to eat, he’ll prepare it."

Zhu Qianying pouted, "Why do I have to tell Uncle Hai? Can’t I tell you?"

Smiling indulgently at Zhu Qianying’s whimsical demands, Yan affirmed, "Of course! What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it for you after work."

"Why do you have to wait until after work? Can’t you bring it now?" Zhu Qianying couldn’t resist teasing him.

"Okay! Okay! So tell me, what do you want to eat? I’ll bring it for you right now!"

As Yan said this, Zhu Qianying saw the background behind him change and heard the sound of a chair being moved.

Clearly, he was already standing up, ready to leave work early.

"I was just joking with you! Get back to work, there’s a whole bunch of people here at home taking care of me. You don’t need to worry!" Zhu Qianying quickly stopped him.

Eldest Young Master Yan refused her request, "Although there’re many people at home to look after you, none of them are your husband, right? Alright, I’m going to get the car now. Think about what you want to eat and call me later!"

Before Zhu Qianying could say anything, the screen went black. Clearly, the call had already been disconnected.

"Old Ye, were we just ignored by our son?"

The old lady of the Yan family, who had been listening to her son and daughter-in-law’s conversation across the table, pretended to act pitifully.

Stroking her hair, Yan Bo chimed in, "Seems like it!"

Zhu Qianying blushed at the couple’s banter, clearing her throat, she said, "He is just being overly worried."

"No wonder Xiao Han is so anxious, when your mother was pregnant with him, I was the same."

And so, the discussion shifted to the interesting experiences when the old lady of the Yan family was pregnant with Yan Han.

"Ying’er, I remember you saying that when you were pregnant with the baby boy, you didn’t have any adverse reactions, right? Xiao Han was a different story! I thought he was the reincarnation of Sun Wukong. He was so restless and it was quite tough on me. From the first to the fourth month of my pregnancy, I could hardly eat a decent meal."

"Morning sickness?" Zhu Qianying asked with concern.

"Isn’t it?! I was so nauseated I wanted to give up!"

Even after all these years, Yan Bo still felt uneasy listening to his wife talk about this. He stroked her back in an attempt to comfort her.

"We were really reckless back then. You were already forty, and if it weren’t for the accidental pregnancy, I wouldn’t have wanted you to take the risk!"

Zhu Qianying had heard about the Yan family’s situation before, and knew that the old lady of the Yan family had given birth to Yan Han at forty. She had originally thought that it was the couple’s eagerness for a child, which caused them to take the risk. But, hearing it from the couple themselves, she realized that the birth of Eldest Master Yan was merely an accident.

"So, are you telling me that Yan was not a planned child?"

In other words, both Eldest Master Yan and the baby boy were unexpected?

"Of course not! You know, we were already in our thirties when we got married, and having children wasn’t easy. We initially had hopes, but after two to three years of being childless, we lost all hope. On one hand, we were both getting older, and on the other hand, there was already a son in the older brother’s family, so the continuation of the Yan family didn’t depend on us."

The old lady of the Yan family spoke lightly of it now, but Zhu Qianying knew how hard it was during the phases of expectation, disappointment, and ultimate hopelessness.

"Yes, your grandfather was already disappointed in me at that time, and I didn’t care anymore. When your mom later told me she was pregnant, my first reaction was that it was too risky for a woman of her age to give birth. It was her who insisted on keeping the baby."

Even after so many years, Yan Bo still felt a sense of unease when bringing up this topic.

Listening to the couple’s old stories, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but sigh, "Dad, the men in your Yan family are really top-notch husbands who love their wives."

Even to this day, there still occasional news about men ignoring their wives for their children. Men like Yan Bo, who only considers their wives’ health and other conditions when it comes to pregnancy, are truly rare.
