Chapter 628: Chapter 628: He’s pretty persistent

Chen Jing blushed deeply due to her daughter’s teasing. Seeing her mother’s face turn bright red, Zhu Qianying quickly hugged her.

"Mom, Luo Yifan is a pretty good man. If you also have feelings for him, give it a try. After all, he only mentioned a girlfriend, not a wife. Besides, even if both parties have feelings for each other, without spending time together, nobody knows if they’re compatible."

Anxious her mother might back off from the laughter, Zhu Qianying quickly shared her thoughts about the contract after reading it.

Though, she always told herself not to intervene in her mother’s decisions or interfere with her thoughts.

But seeing her mother and Luo Yifan obviously liked each other but did not dare to take a substantial step forward. Luo Yifan already took this step. If her mother did not respond, the other party would likely feel quite disappointed.

Chen Jing didn’t refute anything. It seemed she already knew what her daughter was saying.

"Mom, whether you want to give it a try, please think it over carefully. Either way, there’s no element of trickery in the contract, you can rest assured."

Finally, Chen Jing nodded.

"Alright, I’ll think about it myself. You’re also tired, go to sleep."

Of course, she knew her daughter wouldn’t go to sleep so early. She said this to give herself some quiet time to think.

After leaving her mother’s bedroom, Zhu Qianying went to her son’s room, then to her neighbor Xiaolu’s room, and after making sure both children were sleeping soundly, she went to the study room to join Eldest Young Master Yan.

"Young Master Yan, is there any news from the Zong Family?"

Days passed, and there was no news from Dongbu or Xiao Shao. Not to mention the child Xiaolu would feel uneasy, even Zhu Qianying, an adult who had experienced various ups and downs, felt increasingly uneasy.

"No, not yet!"

Young Master Yan didn’t tell Zhu Qianying that he had sought information but hit a wall.

"But, no news is good news. Trust me, Jiang Qi is just like Qin Xiu and Kai Zi. He’s very reliable. You can rest assured, there won’t be any problems."

"Moreover, the bodyguards we had before weren’t ordinary people either. They were all former special forces. If anything happened, they would definitely find a way to contact us or ask for help. They wouldn’t just wait to die."

Xie’s advice to him to inquire less meant that something has happened in the Zong Family.

While the Zong Family was in turmoil, before they knew about Xiaolu’s existence, their willingness to help Bai Shao indicated that Bai Shao still held importance for the Zong Family’s people even though Zong Zhe had passed away.

They probably treated Bai Shao as Zong Zhe’s widow at this point. If so, they would never endanger Bai Shao and her father’s safety by arranging them to go overseas.

If they let them go overseas, they would surely ensure their safety.

However, all these speculations about the Zong Family, Young Master Yan didn’t want to share with Zhu Qianying because he didn’t want her to worry.

"Yes, I understand. Just can’t help but worry."

Young Master Yan beckoned her over.

Zhu Qianying obediently walked over. Young Master Yan pulled her close and made her sit on his lap.

"Silly girl, do you know why the Zong family took such a big risk to help Bai Xiangdong?"

Zhu Qianying nodded, "Of course, it’s because of Xiao Shao."

"Yes, then think about it. If they didn’t care about Bai Shao, would they help Bai Xiangdong?"

Zhu Qianying shook her head.

"So, maybe, they care about Bai Shao and Uncle Dong more than we do."

Zhu Qianying blinked, thought for a moment, "So you mean the Zong family consider Xiao Shao as their daughter-in-law?"

"Otherwise? Why would they spend so much human and material resources on this matter?"

Zhu Qianying felt more relieved after Young Master Yan’s reminder.

"Alright......"

"Don’t worry too much about Uncle Dong and Bai Shao. Think about it, Uncle Dong’s surgery isn’t a minor operation. It’ll take some time to recover after the operation. From twenty days to a month, is probably the shortest time and it’s only been a few days. You’re already worried."

While speaking, Young Master Yan comforted her by rubbing her head.

Zhu Qianying didn’t say anything and simply rested her head against his chest in silence.

"Also, what’s up with mom? Is there something going on?"

Zhu Qianying told him about the bet after thinking a bit. After hearing it, Young Master Yan laughed, "I didn’t expect Luo Yifan to be so determined."

"I think so too, it was really cool what he did!"

As people grow older, it’s hard for them to be as open as they were when they were young. If they like someone, they may not dare to say it. If they don’t, they may not dare to refuse.

Luo Yifan, though, quite clearly chose to go all in. He gave Chen Jing no way out, and crucially, he didn’t leave himself any way out either.

In other words, if his intentions for Chen Jing are insincere, he will stand to lose everything.

Even Young Master Yan, who was usually so proud, nodded in agreement this time.

"Indeed, it’s not easy for him to do this."

They chatted a bit more, and Zhu Qianying teased Young Master Yan.

"Why didn’t you think of such a cool way to bet with me back then?"

Young Master Yan bumped her forehead with his, "If I had done so, would you have agreed?"

Zhu Qianying had no response to this. In truth, her past self and Yan’s situation was not the same as her mother’s and Luo Yifan’s current situation.

If Young Master Yan had done something similar back then, with her temperament, she probably would have torn the contract, and they would have split there and then.

Young Master Yan pushed Zhu Qianying, who was deep in thought, up and patted her on the butt.

"Alright, if you’re tired, go to bed. You don’t need to stay with me today! I have quite a lot to do today. You don’t need to wait for me to go to bed."

Frankly, Zhu Qianying really felt like leaving as she had an important phone call to make.

But after hearing Young Master Yan say this, she went with the flow and yawned a few times, "Are you sure?"

Young Master Yan pinched her face, laughing, "I am sure, go to sleep. You look so tired, your eyes are even red."

Zhu Qianying happily returned to her bedroom, climbed into her bed, then quickly took out her phone to call Qi Xiao.

The number, which had been busy during the day, finally went through.

"Ying Zi, what’s up?"

The tone was chaotic, it seemed Qi Xiao was entertaining outside.

"I have something to ask you. Will that disturb you? Or are you hanging out with Aaron and Ling Chen?"

Young Master Yan let her call Ling Chen for confirmation, but there was no way she would actually call Ling Chen. After all, he was his sister, and the conversation would inevitably be biased.

And while she felt too embarrassed to ask directly.

"No, I am with a client right now. Hold on a moment. I’ll go to another room to chat."
