Chapter 815: Chapter 815 The Seventh Anniversary - Part 2

In mid-December, Zhu Qianying took a trip to the Capital City, to inspect and accept a batch of exhibition pieces at Boss Qian’s Processing Factory.

However, she didn’t linger in the Capital for long. She left home early in the morning, arrived by noon, finished her business, and then hurried back. Yan Shaoben personally drove to the airport to pick her up, and by the time they got home, it was already midnight.

Xiao Xiao and Baby Boy had long been asleep. As soon as Zhu Qianying entered the door, carrying a wisp of coldness with her, she went to check on the two children before heading to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Honey, why is the water in the bathtub so dirty?"

Zhu Qianying, wearing nothing, poked her head out from behind the bathroom door and asked softly.

Yan Shaoben, who was leaning on the bed with a book, glanced at their precious daughter, who sprawled peacefully asleep in the crib. He got up, first pulled the blanket over the little girl, and then walked over, bent down, and kissed Zhu Qianying’s face that was peering out.

"You’ve been a bit cold recently, so I had someone make some Chinese medicine. The water in the bathtub has been infused with the decoction, it’s not dirty."

Zhu Qianying then realized in hindsight, no wonder there was a medicinal scent as soon as she entered the bathroom. Before she could say anything, Yan Shaoben kissed her lips again, coaxing her in a soft voice.

"Good girl, have a nice soak, and when you get out, I’ll give you a massage."

After half an hour or so, Zhu Qianying lay comfortably sprawled on the bed, enjoying the distinguished service of her personal masseur.

"Husband, you are so kind!" Zhu Qianying, with her face nestled on the pillow and feeling drowsy, muttered softly.

Yan Shaoben found the muffled sound of her voice tickling and itching his heart. Seeing the shadows beneath her eyes, he took several deep breaths, fervently suppressing the impulsive heat rising within him.

"They’ve already delivered the wedding dress. Try it on tomorrow when you wake up."

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying’s consciousness had already thoroughly plummeted into the void.

...

The shops on both sides of the streets began hanging up colorful accessories one after another. The merchants were launching a variety of promotional activities using Christmas as a gimmick. With Christmas approaching, it meant that Zhu Qianying and Yan Shaoben’s seventh wedding anniversary was also drawing nearer.

Baby Boy and Xiao Xiao, the two little boys, had been incredibly excited for more than half a month, and even on one day, when Zhu Qianying came home, Xiao Xiao wore a white lace dress and twirled happily in front of her, humming the tune of the "Wedding March."

Her humming was on point with the right tune and rhythm, her voice soft and gentle, completely unlike her usually outspoken temperament, as sweet as her looks.

The eleven-month-old little girl, with her delicately beautiful facial features that were hard to forget, had long black hair draped over her shoulders and wore a beautiful floral wreath on her head. She looked as lovely as a lotus flower rising out of the water and much like a pure little angel that had descended to earth.

No need to doubt, today’s arrangements were definitely the handiwork of Baby Boy, the brother.

Zhu Qianying and Yan Shaoben squatted down side by side, intently watching the little girl humming and twirling. As they watched and listened, their eyes gradually misted over.

Finally, the little girl stopped, her bright eyes brimming with eager anticipation, gazing at Daddy and Mommy.

Zhu Qianying was the first to clap her hands. "Xiao Xiao is brilliant! Daddy and Mommy really like it!"

The little girl rushed over, pressing her warm, chubby face against Zhu Qianying’s, like an eternal warm patch on her heart.

Many, many years later, Zhu Qianying often recalled this scene and couldn’t help but tear up.

Zhu Qianying thought it was a game that Baby Boy and Xiao Xiao were playing.

But it wasn’t until their wedding anniversary that she found out it had been a rehearsal.

In the days leading up to Christmas, Zhu Qianying became increasingly busy as she aimed to wrap up urgent tasks, so she could properly celebrate her and Yan Shaoben’s seventh anniversary.

Compared to her, Mr. Yan seemed even busier.

He still went back to the Company with Zhu Qianying every day, only now, he often went out for business at noon and hadn’t accompanied Zhu Qianying for lunch in several days.

In the evenings, Zhu Qianying was also picked up by the driver to return home, of course, she wouldn’t think like she did on her birthday that he was just busy; she guessed that he was probably preparing the venue and program for the anniversary secretly behind her back.

Since she knew he was keeping it from her to give her a surprise, she endured and never took the initiative to ask about the arrangements for the day of the anniversary.

As for the location, she asked once, but he said "it’s a secret," and she tactfully didn’t ask again.

On December 24, Mr. Yan insisted on sending Zhu Qianying back to her parents’ home, which is now the home of Chen Jing and Luo Yifan.

Zhu Qianying was quite dissatisfied, but Mr. Yan was persistent, so she had to give in.

After all, if he insisted, he must have his reasons.

On the morning of Christmas Day, the makeup artist came to Zhu Qianying’s home to do her makeup and helped her put on a newly designed wedding dress, with Chen Jing watching and smiling.

"Mom, Mr. Yan won’t come to pick up the bride later, will he?"

Mr. Yan insisted she stay at her parents’ house for a night and had a makeup artist come early in the morning to do her makeup. It was normal for her to think this way.

Chen Jing shook her head with a smile, "No, the bride was picked up a long time ago, and if he comes to pick her up again, where would I find another one for him?"

From this, Zhu Qianying could basically confirm that everyone knew about today’s itinerary and location, except for her, the person concerned, who was kept in the dark.

After understanding this, Zhu Qianying didn’t ask any more questions because she knew she wouldn’t get any answers. After getting her makeup done, she left the community with Chen Jing and Luo Yifan in the car sent by the Yan Family.

The car made a few turns in the city area and got on the beltway, which was a bit different from Zhu Qianying’s guess.

She had thought that Mr. Yan would choose the sea-view residence villa to hold the anniversary party, but judging from the current direction of the car, this possibility was almost ruled out.

"Brother Wang, where are we going now?" Zhu Qianying tried to probe, feeling bad being the only person in the world kept out of the loop.

"Ying Zi, please don’t make it hard for me, okay?"

Obviously, like Chen Jing, the driver was already bought off and had his lips sealed.

Fine, if she shouldn’t ask, she wouldn’t. Anyway, she had her own eyes to see for herself.

She thought, feeling a bit petulant.

The temperature today wasn’t too low and the sun was shining brightly. Sitting in the car, Zhu Qianying felt antsy, having not seen her son and daughter for a whole night, she missed them a lot.

"Mom, can you use your mobile phone to call our baby boy? I miss Xiao Xiao and our baby boy."

When the phone connected, Chen Jing held it up to Zhu Qianying’s ear.

"Mother-in-law, has Mommy left the house?"

Zhu Qianying laughed, "I am Mommy, we’re on the highway now; tell Mommy, where are we going?"

"Mommy, don’t worry, we are going to a very beautiful place."

The little boy, this time, simply refused to betray his Daddy.
