Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Isn’t It Because You Gave Birth to a Baby Boy?

There was almost daily positive news from Chen Jing’s side. Ever since they skyrocketed to first place, their points stayed firmly in that spot. They were not only never surpassed but continued to lead the way, widening the gap with the second place team.

On Friday evening, not long after the Yan family finished dinner, Chen Jing made a video call to Zhu Qianying.

"Ying’er, I can’t celebrate your birthday with you this year; I’ll cook something delicious for you when I get home!"

From the side, young Yan leaned his head over to Zhu Qianying and said, "Mom, relax, I’m here!"

Zazi, who had been murmuring something on his grandfather’s lap, also rushed over and defiantly spoke to Chen Jing on the screen.

"Grandma, don’t worry, I’m here!"

Zhu Qianying pushed both faces away from her, which looked similar, only differing in age, "Mom, focus on your competition. I’m waiting for you to come back and cook me something delicious."

"Okay, I’ve thought of a few new recipes these past few days and the first one I make will be for you."

Chen Jing spoke naturally; however, a cough emanated from the man accompanying her, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with her promise.

Zhu Qianying and young Yan understood the meaning of the coughs, but Zazi didn’t. He leaned in again and sincerely said to Chen Jing on the phone screen, "Grandma, is Grandpa Luo unwell? Remember to make him some soup for his lungs!"

At this, Chen Jing on the other side of the phone, couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The four adults in the living room also chuckled at his earnest reminder.

Clearly, the little boy must have heard a lot about food therapy from his grandmother and mommy, so he himself had become a little encyclopedia about food therapy and recipes.

"Did you hear that? Even Zazi thinks that you are not caring enough for me..."

From the phone, there came a playful tease suffused with Luo Yifan’s laughter.

After the laughter, Zhu Qianying asked her mother about the competition’s progress and received the same positive news.

After hanging up the phone, the five of them sat in the living room until nine o’clock as usual, then each returned to their bedrooms or the study room to sleep or work.

Zazi has been mostly sleeping with his parents, the Yan couple, ever since they returned, and tonight was no exception.

Young Yan has had to go out every afternoon this week, so it seemed like he had a backlog of work.

After he stood up, he and Zhu Qianying went upstairs together. When they reached the bedroom, he hugged Zhu Qianying and kissed her forehead, "Ying’er, I have some work to do, you should rest first."

Usually, Zhu Qianying wouldn’t go to bed so early, but she seemed busy these days as well. Ever since he set up a dedicated desk for her in his study, she has seemed perpetually busy.

Young Yan seldom inquired about her work, not because he didn’t care, but because he didn’t understand it.

Zhu Qianying appeared truly tired, and nodded her head, her hand reaching to touch his face, "I’ll go take a bath."

After young Yan sat down, he first dealt with the matters related to Tong Village, and then attended to matters of the Yanhuang Group.

Usually, this sequence would be reversed, but now, because of Zazi, young Yan prioritized matters of Tong village.

In the afternoon while he was out, he received a call from Yan Yuan, who told him succinctly over the phone.

"Our people have found Old Zhao; we believe we will soon be able to convince him and bring him back to the country. Prepare to take Zazi on a trip there at a moment’s notice."

He had informed Zhu Qianying about this as soon as he returned to Yanhuang. It seemed that Zhu Qianying was now preparing to travel at a moment’s notice.

When Zhu Qianying returned to the bedroom, she packed her luggage. She wasn’t sure about the timing, but she needed to ensure that the moment she received the call, she could grab her suitcase and leave.

Because the longer Zazi’s situation drags on, the more dangerous it becomes.

The key point was that as long as the despicable instigator behind all this was not captured, it felt like a powerful time bomb was lurking beside Zazi.

After packing her luggage and taking a shower, the sleepless Zhu Qianying went downstairs, grabbed two apples, washed them, and brought them upstairs.

"Can I come in and read a bit? Will I disturb you?"

She poked her head through the doorway of the study and asked.

Young Yan now did not exclude her from any official business, "Come in. I was just thinking how lonely it is to work overtime alone."

Zhu Qianying laughed as she entered the room, "Don’t worry, I’m here with you!"

After taking some steps, Zhu Qianying threw one of the apples she held towards young Yan. Young Yan reached out and neatly caught the apple.

Zhu Qianying brought her own apple to her mouth and bit into it with a loud crunch.

Seeing her, young Yan couldn’t help but smile. He gestured for her to come over.

Zhu Qianying looked at him inquisitively but didn’t say anything, striding over directly.

Before she could ask anything, young Yan grabbed her wrist, forcefully pulled her hand to him, lowered his head, and took a large bite of her apple.

Besides being speechless, Zhu Qianying mostly indulged his occasional childish behaviour.

Like now, she gazed down at him, "Is my apple particularly delicious?"

Her eyes were filled with laughter.

"Indeed it is!" Young Yan said in all seriousness, his face stony. After saying that, he held his own apple up to the light, squinting at it.

"This one looks like it won’t taste good!"

Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but tease him, "President Yan, when did the Yanhuang Group expand into fruit cultivation?"

Young Yan seemed not to notice her sarcasm at all. He grabbed her hand and directed another large bite towards her apple.

Zhu Qianying propped up his chin and looked at him with amusement, "My prince, eating my apple means that you have to bear me a child!"

Young Yan calmly chewed the apple in his mouth, swallowed, and purposefully glanced down at her belly a few times.

"What about you?"

Zhu Qianying pretended not to understand his words, "I didn’t eat your apple..."

Slowly, young Yan placed his hand on her flat abdomen. His eyes directly on her, he clearly and deliberately said.

"But you have swallowed a lot of my tadpoles!"

Zhu Qianying hadn’t expected he would say this so bluntly. However, she was the one to start this topic and couldn’t retreat the moment he retaliated.

She stiffly continued the conversation, "But we already have Zazi ..."

Young Yan unwaveringly looked at her, "That was five years ago. What about now?"

Unable to keep up, Zhu Qianying blushed.

"Such things shouldn’t you be the one asked rather than me?"
