Chapter 415: Chapter 415 This is Also Your and Baby Boy’s Home

"Xing Bailun and others heard that I was injured in a car accident and wanted to come and see me, is that okay?"

In Yan Family’s household, Zhu Qianying always felt as if she was living on someone else’s sufferance, so when Xing Bailun and other friends wanted to visit her, her initial reaction was that it would be inconvenient.

However, she quickly recollected that in the eyes of Xing Bailun and others, she and Mr. Yan were still a loving couple, so the visit to Yan Family house to see her was inevitable.

Since she could not avoid it, she had to seek the approval of the hosts.

Mr. Yan’s surprise hadn’t worn off yet when she made this request that took him aback. The joy in his heart, like a blazing charcoal, was suddenly extinguished, leaving a sizzling chill.

His silence seemed to Zhu Qianying as a misunderstanding.

"Never mind, I’ll turn them down. After all, I’ve told them that I just have to go to the hospital for a checkup, it’s just a flesh wound, there’s no need to make a fuss."

Regardless of whether Mr. Yan’s displeasure was due to his disliking of Xing Bailun and others, or simply not wanting outsiders to intrude, Zhu Qianying found it completely normal.

She was not the hostess and had no right to demand Mr. Yan to accept her friends.

For a moment, Mr. Yan, who was in his office, felt both anger and a sense of melancholy.

"Ying’er, this is a home for both you and our son, as well. If your friends want to visit you, you can decide it yourself without seeking my opinion."

He rubbed his brows in a tired manner, his tone conveying a sense of helplessness.

Zhu Qianying did not refute his words, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Alright, I will decide based on the situation later."

Eventually, Zhu Qianying did not entertain Xing Bailun and others at Yan Family’s house. Instead, she had Yan Family’s driver drop her off at a leisure bar near the hospital, where she decided to meet and chat with Xing Bailun and others.

By the time she got there, Xing Bailun was already sitting near the window engulfed in a book, and the rest had not shown up yet.

Noticing her arrival, Xing Bailun stood up and pulled the chair out for her. "We thought we’d be able to see the baby boy as well, looks like that would to wait for next time."

"He is at school, next time maybe."

Worried about Zhu Qianying, their son insisted on staying at home and refused to go to school in the morning. At noon, after a round of scolding from Zhu Qianying and having his lunch, he was taken to school by Zhu Qianying and the driver. After that, she headed back to the hospital for her appointment with Xing Bailun.

As Zhu Qianying sat down, a waitress approached and asked for her order. She habitually ordered a cup of coffee, but Xing Bailun told the waitress, "Get her a fresh grape juice instead!"

Zhu Qianying shot him a glance, "Aaron, I’m twenty-five, not fifteen!"

Xing Bailun patted her head, "Behave, you’ve hurt your hand. I heard drinking coffee can cause pigmentation, refrain from it till your wound heals."

Zhu Qianying gave a helpless smile to the waitress, "OK, just as he said."

After the waitress left, Xing Bailun let out a long sigh, startling Zhu Qianying, "Aaron, since when did you become so melodramatic?"

This time, Xing Bailun rolled his eyes at her.

"I am just astonished to think that we have known each other for ten years!"

When he mentioned it, Zhu Qianying also began to lament.

"Indeed, ten years ago you guys were just about eating, drinking, and playing around. Now, everyone has achieved success in their field. All that’s left is for you and Qi Xiao to start a family."

Hearing her mention family, Xing Bailun looked at her intently, "Ying Zi, have you been hearing rumors about me?"

Zhu Qianying looked at him in confusion, "Hmm? What rumors? About you?"

Xing Bailun scrutinized her for a moment and then let out a long sigh, "No, never mind."

Zhu Qianying had the feeling that Xing Bailun was hiding something from her, but since he did not want to talk about it, she did not push him on it.

Soon after, Qi Xiao and other friends arrived too, and the conversation quickly turned to the details of Zhu Qianying’s accident.

Zhu Qianying explained the situation briefly, and everyone felt that the incident was a bit too strange to have been a simple traffic accident.

"Ying Zi, this incident probably has a connection with Zhu Junwei."

Although Zhu Junwei had managed to evade any punitive action this time, to the outsiders, he had become the epitome of an evil and cunning man.

Zhu Qianying had thought along the same lines, but she had learned from Ke Kai that it indeed was a normal traffic accident.

"It could just be a coincidence!"

Rationally speaking, Zhu Qianying did hope that the incident had nothing to do with Zhu Junwei.

Not because she had a deep-rooted sibling relationship with Zhu Junwei, but because she wanted him to put an end to all of this and let her, their son, and her mother live a peaceful life.

She did not want to be constantly worried about her son’s safety or live under the protection of Mr. Yan.

"Speaking of which, Ying Zi, did you know?"

Qi Xiao suddenly remembered something interesting and nudged her arm.

"Ah? What?" Zhu Qianying’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

"Qi Xiao, are you asking for it?" Xing Bailun reproached Qi Xiao sharply.

Qi Xiao, who was not the least bit intimidated by him, laughed it off, and spilled the beans.

"Your dad...cough, I mean Zhu Zhizhou, is trying to pair up Aaron and your second sister!"

Zhu Qianying’s second sister was Zhu Junwei’s elder sister, the third daughter of Zhu Zhizhou and Zhu Shaofen.

No sooner had Qi Xiao finished speaking than Xing Bailun threw the car keys at him, and quickly explained to Zhu Qianying.

"Ying Zi, don’t overthink it, I’ve already turned Zhu Zhizhou down! I’m not a fool!"

Strangely enough, even though Zhu Qianying did not resemble Zhu Zhizhou or Chen Jing much, she did bear a vague resemblance to her sister, who was four-five years older than her.

Zhu Zhizhou probably thought that since Xing Bailun couldn’t have Zhu Qianying, finding a somewhat similar substitute was a good strategy. Given the current circumstances of the Zhu Family, they urgently needed someone influential to lend a hand. And Xing Bailun was his first choice.

However, his actions disgusted Xing Bailun, and he promptly turned him down.

He thought the matter had settled then, but the very next day, the whole of L City knew that Zhu Zhizhou was trying to pair his second daughter up with Xing Bailun.

After the rumors had been making rounds for a few days, various versions of the story started appearing.

The most outrageous one depicted Xing Bailun as a Casanova, who after being turned down by Zhu Qianying, chose Zhu Zhizhou’s second daughter as a substitute. But when Zhu Zhizhou, as a parent, confronted him, he turned his back on them.

At the time when these fascinating rumors were circulating widely in L City, Zhu Qianying was still in M country, hence she missed out on the best time to catch up on the drama.

"Tsk, has Zhu Zhizhou lost his mind?"
