Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Always in the Honeymoon Phase

"Qin Xiu, please take the gifts back to Shan and the kids. If you have time on Saturday, we’ll stay at the seaside villa for a couple of days and invite Ke and the others over to gather at my place."

Qin Xiu nodded, but due to the sharp warning look from the elder of his family, he didn’t dare to say anything more. He waved to Zhu Qianying and quickly returned to Yanhuang’s group with his plate.

The staff of Han Zhiying, not sure if they were very hungry or more tactful than Qin Xiu, hurried to the buffet area as soon as they entered, leaving Yan Ting and Zhu Qianying to leisurely start off with a cup of warm milk, and then found a table for two to sit down. After Zhu Qianying drank half a cup of milk, the pair got up to get food.

Right after she had completed her postpartum confinement, Zhu Qianying was ten pounds heavier than before, but for her height and weight ratio, the extra ten pounds actually made her look fuller and added a different charm.

As for Yan Ting, he loved her no matter what. In his eyes, Zhu Qianying was always adorable, no matter how much weight she gained.

But Zhu Qianying couldn’t stand it herself. After her confinement, she increased the intensity of her exercise routine for several months, and now, she had finally returned to her pre-pregnancy figure.

However, even as she slimmed down, she never reduced her food intake.

For instance, right now, she still picked up whatever she felt like eating. After all, as long as she was happy, Yan Ting wouldn’t stop her. He even specially asked the manager to buy a few freshly grilled mutton kebabs from next door because she had mentioned a few times while overseas that she missed them.

"Mmm, these grilled mutton kebabs are really good, they can compete with the taste from the barbecue shop next door!"

Zhu Qianying nibbled on the fragrant mutton kebabs, very satisfied, forgetting that this was a Western-style buffet restaurant - where did the mutton kebabs come from?

Yan Ting didn’t point that out and continued to leisurely cut his steak and sip his coffee, his gaze, however, barely left Zhu Qianying’s face and body.

It is said that passionate love has an expiration date, and after the honeymoon phase, affection fades.

But Yan Ting felt that his affection for Zhu Qianying seemed to deepen with the passage of time and longer acquaintance.

For example, even though they could eat lunch together nearly every day, he never tired of looking at her.

From the day Zhu Qianying met him, she had been undisguised, her truest self.

And it was this authentic self, without pretense, that he found so precious.

Generally, an adult, living to their twenties or thirties, inevitably becomes worldly, and often affected.

Learning to say one thing when meaning another, learning to dress themselves up just to please others.

But in front of him, she was always forthright, and perhaps that was one of the reasons he fell deeper in love with her.

"Is it really that delicious? In a few days, let’s go to the border for a short trip. The grilled mutton over there is truly amazing!"

Yan Ting looked at her adoringly and shared the idea that had just crossed his mind.

"Great, let’s wait until you finish up your current work, and when Baby grows up a little more, then we’ll go!"

Zhu Qianying now wouldn’t dream of leaving her precious daughter to travel that far for a trip.

"Mm, I’ll speed things up a bit and try to complete this project as soon as possible."

Yanhuang hadn’t even submitted the tender proposal; logically, the project hadn’t officially started.

But the fact that Yan Ting had mentioned this to Yan Ting might suggest that domestically, it would be hard to find a more suitable company than Yanhuang to take on the project.

Because the project involved many secrets, they switched the topic after a brief discussion.

When the conversation shifted to the studio, Yan Ting suddenly remembered something.

"Ying’er, I was asking around just now, and apparently, Han Zhiying received the committee’s invitation because of you."

Zhu Qianying was half skeptical, "Because of me? I don’t think I’m famous enough to receive an invitation."

Usually, there are two types of participants at these exhibitions.

One is specially invited by the committee, and the other applies on their own.

There is a difference in treatment between these two types of members.

Those specially invited by the committee must be domestically well-known jewelry enterprises or famous designers. This group doesn’t need to undergo an evaluation and can directly occupy a spot at the exhibition.

In contrast, those who submit applications must be reviewed by the committee and confirmed as qualified to have the opportunity to participate in the exhibition.

According to the ratio Zhu Qianying had learned in the past, the chance of passing this evaluation and gaining qualification is about ten percent.

Before going abroad, Zhu Qianying already had the idea to start preparing the data to submit an application to the committee after returning home, but unexpectedly, she received the special invitation before she even began to prepare.

This was why Zhu Qianying’s first reaction when she saw the message was to ask Yanhuang that type of question.

Now, with Yanhuang saying it was because of her, she found it even more unbelievable.

Yanhuang didn’t rush to answer her, taking a napkin and passing it to her to wipe the grease from the corner of her mouth, before calmly revealing the reasons behind it.

"Your parents’ wedding rings, weren’t they once exhibited abroad?"

Zhu Qianying nodded her head. Although some time had passed since then, she could not forget, because those rings and her mother’s wedding rings were among the three designs she was most satisfied with so far.

"Do you remember what I told you after that? If your work hadn’t been withdrawn, winning a second or third prize would have been without a doubt."

Zhu Qianying nodded again.

"The chairperson of this committee was a judge at that exhibition, and he remembers you and your design work. So, when he found out you had returned to develop your career domestically, and opened Han Zhiying Studio, he gave that special invitation spot to Han Zhiying!"

After listening to what seemed like a very simple process but was actually full of twists, Zhu Qianying fell silent for a moment before exhaling deeply.

"So, you were right!" said Yanhuang, which sounded somewhat nonsensical.

Zhu Qianying didn’t catch his meaning for a moment and looked at him puzzled, "What?"

"Don’t you remember? After I learned about it, I felt a pity for you, right?"

Zhu Qianying made an "Mhm" sound.

"You said back then that as long as one had talent, they would eventually be recognized. It’s just a matter of it happening later rather than sooner. You were still young, you could wait, and you could endure it!"

Zhu Qianying didn’t quite remember saying that.

Of course, what she had said wasn’t exactly that, but in any case, Yanhuang had conveyed the gist.

Zhu Qianying tilted her head and thought for a moment, faintly recalling that she had indeed said such impassioned words at the time.

"Alright, I just wanted to comfort you at that time, and you took it seriously?"

Zhu Qianying’s words sounded half true, half false, but Yanhuang knew that those words were the truths she held in her heart.

It was also for this reason that she had been tirelessly striving and advancing in the field of jewelry design ever since she was a teenager.
