Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Young Master Yan Gets Jealous (4th Update)

Guilt-ridden Zhu Qianying busied herself in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous dinner for the family in the evening.

This time, not only did the little boy and the smaller one eat to their hearts’ content, but Yan Han and his wife also had more to eat than usual.

"Ying’er, if you keep cooking like this at home, it won’t be long before I’ll need to go on a diet,"

Although in her seventies, Madame Yan had maintained an excellent figure, with a curvature in all the right places and a noticeable absence of the usual loose, flabby flesh common in the elderly.

Before Zhu Qianying could respond, Yan Bo glanced at Madame Yan and said, "Gaining a little weight is fine, I won’t mind it a bit."

Madame Yan rolled her eyes, "Going bald is also fine, and I won’t mind that either. Do you want to try going bald?"

The familial banter between the two old men was something that Zhu Qianying, Yan Han, and even the little boy and the smaller one had gotten used to.

The little boy showed an interest, glancing at his grandfather’s head and said with a chuckle, "Grandfather, being bald isn’t bad—my little sister and I could draw something on your head."

The little boy’s words clearly added insult to injury.

Yan Bo looked at him gently, "Little boy, be good, don’t make trouble!"

But Madame Yan, ever the troublemaker, chimed in, "My dear, tonight we’ll shave your grandfather’s head so that you and your little sister can draw a turtle on it, okay?"

Yan Bo, ever the good-natured man, raised his hand to pat Madame Yan’s head, "Xiao Hua, don’t teach the children bad habits."

Madame Yan huffed twice, then bent down and began sipping her soup.

The little boy giggled under his breath, feeling that sometimes his grandparents acted more like children than he and his sister did.

No, to be precise, it was the grandmother who often behaved even more childishly than he and his sister.

After resting at home for two nights and a day, everyone had pretty much recovered their energy.

On the third day, Zhu Qianying had to go to work, while Yan Han and his wife planned to take the two children for a stroll near where Zhu Qianying worked, and in the evening, pick her up to go home for dinner.

This time, Zhu Qianying was designing and matching jewelry for a large-scale fashion show, and her partner was a well-known designer in his forties from the international scene.

This designer wasn’t Chinese, but he had a Chinese name, Du Zhong. At first, he never mentioned it, but today, he asked Zhu Qianying to call him by his Chinese name.

Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but recall her good friend Bai Shao, "Du, do you understand Chinese medicine?"

Her question was purely out of curiosity.

"Just a little bit. I was quite ill before, but after a friend recommended a Chinese doctor to me, I took some Chinese medicine, and my health improved a lot."

In their initial encounters, Zhu Qianying had found the designer to be quite aloof and difficult to communicate with.

But back in his home country, he seemed much more amiable.

"I also have a friend whose name is a Chinese medicinal herb," she said.

Considering it, the family of Bai Shao, including the three of them, hadn’t been seen for over a year. Their phone was still unreachable, likely canceled by now, and even those initial small videos had mostly disappeared.

However, Jiang Qi had assured Yan Han that Bai Shao and her family were living very well with the Zong Family, only that, due to some special reasons, they couldn’t contact the outside world.

"What a coincidence? Is she also a jewelry designer?" Du Zhong, seemingly piqued by the conversation, was interested.

As they talked, they ended up discussing Ji Sihan.

"You know her?" Du Zhong seemed very surprised.

"Yes, she’s my sister-in-law’s sister-in-law!"

Although Du Zhong was quite good at speaking Chinese, he was a bit confused about the familial hierarchy among Chinese people. It took him a good while to understand the specific relationship.

"To be precise, Sister Sihan’s husband is my sister-in-law’s brother," she explained.

Du Zhong thought for a moment before it clicked.

"So, Ji Family’s Second Young Master’s wife, is your sister?"

Fortunately, this convoluted relationship had only come to light now; otherwise, Zhu Qianying might have really thought that the Ji brothers were helping her make connections.

"Yes, she’s my sister. You know her?"

Du Zhong’s eyes immediately lit up, "Know her, know her, a very talented director indeed."

Finding someone in a foreign country who praised her sister made Zhu Qianying very happy.

"Mm, indeed, she has won quite a few awards in the past few years."

Xiao Yu’s current accomplishments always made Zhu Qianying grateful that, years ago, she had resisted the pressure and secretly sent Xiao Yu to University in R City.

Because they both knew the same person, their conversation grew more animated, and it became easier for them to discuss work.

The first day of collaboration had been very pleasant, and when Zhu Qianying was ready to leave, Du Zhong insisted on walking her out. At the door, when saying goodbye, Du Zhong extended his arm and gently hugged Zhu Qianying.

Having lived abroad for so many years, Zhu Qianying was accustomed to this sort of etiquette. After he let go, she waved at him naturally and turned to walk to the agreed meeting spot.

"Wife!"

Before she could move, she heard a familiar voice behind her. Without having time to turn her head, a big hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her backward.

She couldn’t stop in time and stumbled back two steps, crashing directly into the man’s broad chest.

Her startled gaze met Young Master Yan’s dark eyes.

"Aren’t you going to introduce me to this gentleman?"

The industries operated by Yanhuang were unrelated to entertainment or fashion, therefore, he wasn’t familiar with people from the fashion world. Even if the other person was a well-known fashion designer, he might not recognize them.

Zhu Qianying felt the arm around her waist tighten shockingly, and it was even quite painful.

Du Zhong had originally turned to leave, but hearing Young Master Yan’s address, he naturally turned back around.

Seeing Zhu Qianying nestled against a tall and handsome man, he understood immediately.

"Ying Zi, this is your husband, right?! Pleasure to meet you, I’m Du Zhong, Ying Zi’s partner."

As he spoke, Du Zhong extended his hand towards Young Master Yan.

Young Master Yan shook his hand with a forced smile, saying, "Yan Han, nice to meet you!"

Although Du Zhong had never met Young Master Yan, he was aware of the name Yan Han!

"Yan Han? The Yan Han of Yanhuang Group?"

Young Master Yan nodded, "Indeed, that is me!"

Surprised, Du Zhong looked at Zhu Qianying, "Ying Zi, you are the President’s wife of Yanhuang Group?"

Zhu Qianying smiled sheepishly. She had never deliberately hidden this identity, but she never made a point of promoting it either.

Although she understood that many people chose to collaborate with her because of Young Master Yan, she hoped that in the end, they would come to appreciate her for the work she designed and refer to her as Designer Zhu Qianying, not as the President’s wife of Yanhuang Group.

"As you can see, it is indeed the case!"

Young Master Yan, as if marking his territory, held her even tighter, and Zhu Qianying realized then that Eldest Young Master Yan had seen her and Du Zhong saying goodbye. Clearly, he was jealous!

"My apologies for the oversight. Do you have time tomorrow, President Yan? I’d like to invite you and Ying Zi to dinner."

Du Zhong was a pure foreigner, yet he seemed to be quite familiar with the intricacies of Chinese socializing and networking.
