Chapter 120 - 120 120 Young Yan do you seem to have lost
?Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Young Yan, do you seem to have lost weight? Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Young Yan, do you seem to have lost weight? Upon Zhu Qianying and her mother’s return to L city, the first thing they did was to take advantage of Zhu Zhizhou’s absence from home and bring out the important belongings of the mother and daughter. Then, they directly moved into a two-bedroom and one-living room apartment they had previously found.
Although this apartment is in the suburbs, the environment is quite decent, most importantly, the rent is half the price of the same type of apartment in the city area.
After all, neither she nor her mother needs to go to work, living farther away minimizes the chance of bumping into the members of the Zhu family.
After the mother and daughter settled in that afternoon, towards the evening, Chen Jing was preparing dinner for two in the kitchen, and Zhu Qianying finally found the time to send a text message to Young Master Yan.
“Young Master Yan, my mother and I have moved out of the Zhu family. In the future, if you need to find me, please call my mobile phone directly.”
Since Young Master Yan would occasionally ask Uncle Hai to call her at the Zhu family, she informed him of the change, so he wouldn’t call the Zhu family unfruitfully.
She had thought that Young Master Yan, as always, would neither give her a little reply even if he received the message.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sent the message and released her phone, it buzzed a few times.
Picking it up and looking at it, the sender was surprisingly ‘Boss Guimao’.
“Address!”
The straightforward two words made Zhu Qianying doubt if Young Master Yan wasn’t the one who sent the message.
Only Boss Guimao would dare to boldly ask for someone’s address.
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes and took a photo of the address on the lease agreement with the camera function of her phone, then sent the photo directly without a word.
This time, after sending out the message, she deliberately waited, and sure enough, about ten or so seconds later, Boss Guimao replied with another message.
“I’ll come for dinner at seven.
Darn it!
This Boss Guimao, can you be more polite when you’re mooching off others?
Please, can you not take it for granted?
However, while Zhu Qianying grumbled, she flipped her phone onto the sofa after a moment and got up to check on what her mom had made in the kitchen.
“Mom, Young Master Yan is coming for dinner. Can you make a few more dishes?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jing instantly became nervous and stared at her, “What does Young Master Yan like to eat?”
Thinking about Boss Guimao’s eight-dish, one-soup recipe, Zhu Qianying’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.
“Mom, who cares what he likes? Just use whatever’s in the fridge to whip up a few dishes. He’s freeloading anyway; he can’t be too picky.”
In Zhu Qianying’s view, her mother is an elder, after all. Young Master Yan can certainly make no demands of her, but he certainly cannot be so demanding of her mother!
Besides, her mother’s top chef level cooking skills are something not easily or cheaply obtained. Young Master Yan is fortunate enough to be able to taste such cuisine. He should be thankful, instead of directing and demanding this and that, right?
At 6:50, the doorbell of Zhu Qianying’s new home rang. Looking through the peephole, the person outside was undoubtedly Young Master Yan.
“Young Master Yan, you’re right on time!”
Zhu Qianying opened the door and stepped aside to let Young Master Yan enter.
Young Master Yan handed her the bag he was carrying, and Zhu Qianying looked down to see the bag right beneath her eyes. So it turned out, he believed her to be his servant from the Yan family!
Forget it, forget it. On this day of her housewarming, she was too lazy to argue with the innocent and petulant Eldest Young Master!
Zhu Qianying took his bag, carried it into the living room, but Young Master Yan remained standing at the entrance as if rooted to the ground.
Zhu Qianying put the bag on the cabinet and turned her head to find him still standing there in surprise. “Come in!”
Young Master Yan raised his foot towards her. “Shoes!”
Only then did Zhu Qianying realize that he was waiting for her to give him slippers to change out of his leather shoes.
But when she and her mother went shopping for daily necessities in the afternoon, who would have thought that Young Master Yan would deign to visit? Naturally, he didn’t have his own slippers.
“We don’t have any; please feel free to step in with your leather shoes. It’s alright because the floor is quite easy to clean.”
Despite Zhu Qianying, the hostess’ words, Young Master Yan still remained stationary.
Zhu Qianying watched as he took out his phone to call, “Buy a pair of slippers and bring them up!”, and then she understood. Boss Guimao was insisting on getting a pair of slippers before entering the house.
Zhu Qianying was thoroughly done with him and was too lazy to bother arguing, so she went straight into the kitchen to help her mother carry the meals to the dining room.
Fortunately, she had prepared ten pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
“Has Young Master Yan arrived?” Chen Jing heard the doorbell from the kitchen.
“He’s here, standing at the entrance!” Zhu Qianying responded while carrying a large pot of soup out.
Chen Jing didn’t hear Young Master Yan’s voice and thought it was her quirky daughter who had made him uncomfortable. So, she took off her apron, washed her hands, and came out.
Seeing her, Young Master Yan was more amiable than he was to Zhu Qianying and took the initiative to nod at her, “Auntie Jing!”
Chen Jing carefully examined his expression, but didn’t detect any signs of dissatisfaction or anger.
“Young Master Yan, why not come in and sit? The food is ready, all you need to do is wash your face once you come in and we can start eating.”
Whether it was because they left the Zhu family or because Chen Jing had indeed toughened up some, she dealt quite comfortably with Young Master Yan now.
At least now, she seemed somewhat conscious of her future mother-in-law status.
“I’m waiting for the driver to bring up the slippers…” explained Young Master Yan, showing a rare sign of patience.
Chen Jing had no knowledge of the many quirks of her future son-in-law and was about to say something when Zhu Qianying, who had finished serving the soup and was walking over, pulled her away.
“Mom, the soup seems a bit bland. You should try it.”
Chen Jing hurriedly turned and re-entered the dining room while Zhu Qianying looked up and down at Young Master Yan, arms folded, “Young Master Yan, you seem to have lost weight?”
Little did she know that in the past few days, Young Master Yan had been hustling between L city and H city. His sleep in total was less than 10 hours in all. Now that things had finally progressed, he planned to go home and get some good sleep.
But, after seeing her message, he strangely asked for her address.
Seeing that the address was completely in the opposite direction and even farther than home, he didn’t hesitate to send a message saying he would come for dinner.
Until now, he still hadn’t realized that because of his special trip here for dinner, his trip home would be several times longer.
If it was in the past, he would never have done this kind of foolish thing.
But now, he did it without any awareness. Furthermore, even after doing it, there wasn’t any alarm in his body to warn or awaken him.
“Lost Weight?”
Young Master Yan raised his hand to touch his face. His face was already sharply contoured without any excess fat, and his body was also in top-notch condition, free of extra flesh. Generally speaking, one would hardly notice a few pounds of body weight fluctuating just by looking at him.
