Chapter 98 - 98 98 Am I Handsome

?Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Am I Handsome? Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Am I Handsome? “At noon, Zhu Qianying accompanied her mother to the hospital to see Zhu Zhizhou.

Truth be told, she really doesn’t want to go.

However, her mother seemed very worried about her father. Upon learning he was injured the night before, she appeared to be in a state of shock, spending the whole night tossing and turning on the bed next to her. This resulted in Zhu Qianying also enduring a sleepless night.

Seeing her mother in such a pitiful state, Zhu Qianying could only sigh and accompany her to the hospital.

If the so-called deep love is like what her mother has for her father, a life devoid of self and even dignity.

Then she, Zhu Qianying, would rather never have anything to do with such a terrible thing in her life.

Zhu Qianying is a cautious person. Her father openly challenged Ji Huan but ended up in a tumble. He not only gained nothing but also hurt himself. She and her mother going there might just end up as the subject of his displaced rage.

To be safe, Zhu Qianying thickened her skin and gave Uncle Hai a call. Having to endure Ember Yan’s taunts was less important to her than her mother’s safety.

“Uncle Hai, my father is injured, and my mother and I want to visit him at the hospital. But I’m afraid my elder brother might do something to my mother, could you arrange a driver to accompany us?”

Zhu Qianying knows that the Yan Family’s drivers also double as bodyguards.

Uncle Hai was very straightforward. He directly asked Zhu Qianying for her current address and room number, saying he would pick her up in about half an hour.

Half an hour later, Zhu Qianying received a call from the front desk, saying that Yan Family’s driver was waiting at the front door.

Without further thought, Zhu Qianying accompanied her mother downstairs. The driver was waiting inside the front desk. It wasn’t Brother Zhang, who usually drove her, but Ember Yan’s designated driver.

“Brother Chen, thank you.”

Of course, Zhu Qianying will not gossip with Brother Chen. After all, it’s Yan Family’s business and has nothing to do with her.

Brother Chen smiled at both of them, “Madam Zhu, Miss Zhu, the car is outside.”

Zhu Qianying walked to the car, habitually pulled open the back seat door.

What reflected in her eyes were a pair of long legs. Zhu Qianying was startled and she bent down, meeting Ember Yan’s dark eyes.

“Ember Yan?!”

Even someone as quick-witted as Zhu Qianying couldn’t hide her surprised expression. For the first time, she was caught speechless.

Ember Yan gave her a fleeting look, then quickly turned his gaze to the person next to her.

“Aunt Jing!” Then, to her surprise, Zhu Qianying saw a trace of laughter on Ember Yan’s face.

Although it was merely a perfunctory smile, it was truly rare.

Zhu Qianying unconsciously shrunk back, as if she had seen a ghost.

Ember Yan gave her a glance, “Aren’t you coming in? Would you rather leave your mother standing outside the car?” Saying this, he moved over to the other side of the car, trying to create more space.

This considerate and understanding side of Ember Yan nearly knocked Zhu Qianying off her feet.

Seeing her still standing outside the car, Ember Yan moved again, raised an eyebrow at her, “Stunned?”

He reached out, grabbed her arm, and forcefully pulled her into the car.

Zhu Qianying, who was abruptly pulled into the car, broke out in a cold sweat. Not having time to compose her emotions, she glared at him, “Ember Yan, please, can you be a bit gentler?”

A hint of amusement appeared in Ember Yan’s eyes, it seemed that he was somewhat taken with this expressive side of Zhu Qianying.

“How can I be gentler? Hmm?”

Zhu Qianying gave him another glare and decided to ignore this capricious man. She turned her head and signaled to her mother still outside the car, “Mom, get in the car.”

Chen Jing had met Ember Yan twice, and on both occasions, her future son-in-law had ignored her. The polite greeting he gave her just now was startling but felt unreal.

It wasn’t until her daughter called her that she snapped back to reality and climbed into the car.

It seems Ember Yan is actually in a good mood today. After Chen Jing got into the car and shut the door, he looked past Zhu Qianying at Chen Jing.

“Aunt Jing, have you two had lunch yet?”

His pleasant demeanor was indeed fitting for a future son-in-law, but considering it was coming from Ember Yan, it made Zhu Qianying feel uneasy.

Apparently, Chen Jing had the same feeling as Zhu Qianying, and her eyes shifted awkwardly as she replied, “We… we already ate, thank you for your concern.”

Zhu Qianying also didn’t understand what was going on with him today. He seemed to be in a good mood, as though he had just found a gold mine.

Just yesterday, his face was as sour as a dead man’s. As if she owed him billions!

When it comes to things she doesn’t understand, Zhu Qianying usually doesn’t dig too deep into it.

She’s poor, and her life is the most valuable thing she has. Therefore, she tries not to do anything that could shorten her lifespan.

After all, for as long as she has known Ember Yan, he has always switched between being intermittently gentle, indifferent, and crude.

She has always guessed in private, but even to this day, she cannot figure out the reason for his mood swings. So, she only responds to his changes with her usual self.

“Your sister’s boyfriend, is it Ji Huan of the Ji Family?” Ember Yan suddenly asked.

Zhu Qianying felt that he already knew and was merely asking for confirmation, so she nodded, “Um…”

She thought that he would mock her as he always did, praising Xiao Yu for having good taste and choosing a boyfriend from a good family.

To her surprise, Ember Yan said, “I’ve had a lot of contact with his older brother, but this was the first time I met him.”

Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes inwardly. She wanted to ask him, so now you feel regret for being so cold to Ji Huan yesterday?

“Really? He’s pretty handsome, isn’t he?” But what came out was just a nonchalant comment.

She is not stupid, she knew she could not speak entirely honestly to someone like Ember Yan.

“Am I better looking?” Ember Yan’s remark didn’t sound like a joke.

Zhu Qianying humored him for a bit, “Hehe, of course you’re better looking! Ji Huan is still a young brat!”

“You have good taste!” Ember Yan seemed a bit smug. Apparently, he took Zhu Qianying’s comment about Ji Huan as derogatory.

But in Zhu Qianying’s eyes, being a brat isn’t a derogatory term, but a compliment. In her opinion, Ji Huan’s personality is often child-like, straightforward and cute.

Unlike Ember Yan, who is unpredictable and mysterious, causing her to regard him as having a split personality disorder.

Of course, she knows that he certainly does not have a split personality disorder. A person with a split personality disorder couldn’t manage the industries of the Yan Family and Tong Family as well as he does, with increasing performance year by year.

It’s only because she does not understand him enough, hence, she does not understand his sudden mood swings.

But in relationships between people, there is always mutual understanding.

Just like their relationship, which is built on a transaction, it isn’t easy for them to understand each other.
