Chapter 28 -28 She’s Definitely Not a Pushover
Yan Shao finally saw Zhu Qianying at five o’clock in the afternoon.
Zhu Qianying walked in carrying a big bag full of containers. Her first words were not an apology, nor was it any kind of polite greeting like it’s been a while.
Instead, she said, “Yan Shao, isn’t it a bit early for dinner at this time?”
Yan Shao immediately exploded!
“I asked you to deliver lunch, and now at five in the afternoon, you’re saying it’s early?”
Yan Shao was grateful that when he couldn’t find Zhu Qianying around one o’clock, he had called Qin Xiu over to scold him. After being berated by Yan Shao, Qin Xiu immediately went across the street and bought Yan Shao’s favorite meal.
Otherwise, if he had been waiting for her to bring his meal, he would have fainted from hunger by now.
Zhu Qianying blinked innocently at him as he frowned, “Lunch? Mr. Qin didn’t mention it!”
Yan Shao glared at her, feeling that she was just spouting nonsense. She was clearly just antagonizing him.
Unbothered by Yan Shao’s barely suppressed anger and the implied accusations he had not voiced, Zhu Qianying shrugged.
“If Yan Shao doesn’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Qin.”
Unable to bear it anymore, Yan Shao picked up the office phone and dialed the internal line.
“Qin Xiu, did you tell Zhu Qianying it was lunch or dinner?”
Clear sounds of Qin Xiu inhaling sharply came from the receiver. Then, Yan Shao heard him carefully say, “Master, I did not specify…”
Zhu Qianying, still standing near the office desk, could guess Qin Xiu’s response based on Yan Shao’s expression.
When a displeased Yan Shao hung up, Zhu Qianying quickly picked up the large bag she had just placed on the desk. “Since I misunderstood, it seems Yan Shao doesn’t need these meals. I’ll take them away.”
Zhu Qianying was decisive. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she had already started to walk away with the bag.
Yan Shao was frustrated by Zhu Qianying, whose behavior completely defied usual conventions.
She made his liver ache with anger, yet he was absolutely unable to control her in any way.
“Stop!” Yan Shao shouted coldly to halt her progress.
All his previous plans to give her the cold shoulder vanished with his chilly command of “Stop”.
Zhu Qianying really did halt, turned to look at him, her face full of question marks, “What is it?”
God knows, she was trying her best not to laugh.
true, Qin Xiu hadn’t specified whether she was supposed to prepare lunch or dinner, but she knew very well that his intention had been lunch.
However, when she heard his annoying and meticulous demands, she became upset.
She was not Yan’s servant, so why should she obey his high and mighty commands? Why should she follow his directions like east and west, and if he demanded the moon, did she really have to get it for him?
In these years, she had seen how her mother suffered in front of her father. What she despised the most was women like her mother, who regarded men as their world and spent their days revolving around them.
She, Zhu Qianying, could prepare a banquet for a man, she could carve fruits into a rose for him. But the premise was, she must be willing to do so, and the other party must appreciate her effort and reciprocate her affection.
What she wouldn’t tolerate was being commanded from on high, dictating that she must do this or that!
“Where have you been these past few days?”
In fact, Yan Shao didn’t care where she went. What he cared about was that he had reminded her to stay home and wait for him to propose, yet she disappeared without a trace. Clearly, she did not take him seriously at all.
Zhu Qianying remained standing there, her bright eyes looking at him. She was amused, was this about account for her whereabouts?
“I went out to run some errands.”
Her response was rather vague.
“What errands?” Yan Shao insisted, not letting go.
He couldn’t believe that a twenty-year-old girl could best him, a seasoned businessman who had been dominating the business world for a decade.
“Yan Shao, do you really want to know about the trivial matters among women?” Zhu Qianying’s eyes flashed with a sly smile.
Yan Shao hated trouble and was rather picky himself. He had no interest in the domestic matters of others, nor did he care to listen to the little quarrels between girls over their boyfriends.
When Zhu Qianying mentioned a woman’s trivial issues, Yan Shao instinctively categorized them into these two categories.
He really had no interest in hearing about these!
“Come here!” Yan Shao lost interest in inquiring any more about her whereabouts.
Zhu Qianying raised her brows. “What for?”
Yan Shao quickly got over his anger, “Did you really make four dishes and a soup?” His tone softened unintentionally.

In the end, it was Qin Xiu who made the mistake, and he had nothing to do with this girl. As a man, how could he be so petty and hold a grudge against a young girl?
Zhu Qianying gave Yan Shao a careful glance, noticed that his expression had softened considerably, and only then walked back.
“Of course. Mr. Qin said, our master has a very picky taste; he cannot eat ordinary meals…”
Zhu Qianying precisely recounted Qin Xiu’s words, even emulating his characteristic elitist tone.
Yan Shao had been trying to keep a straight face, but her spot-on impersonation made him break into an involuntary grin.
As she spoke, Zhu Qianying had already placed the big bag back on the office desk. She looked around and then pointed to the reception area by the window.
“Should we put everything there?” She also sounded noticeably softer.
Zhu Qianying had worked hard to prepare all these dishes and certainly didn’t want them to go to waste. Also, she hadn’t forgotten that her marriage to Yan Shao was still a question mark.
The reason why she was acting up and being stubborn was simply to make Yan Shao understand that she, Zhu Qianying was no pushover.
So, whether she was being difficult or disobedient, she always knew her limits.
Just like now, if Yan Shao mellows first, she would return to being the sweet, virtuous little wife.
Yan Shao’s mood improved significantly due to her meek concession.
“Hmm…”
The reception room here was separated by glass doors. After Zhu Qianying entered, she bent down and started taking out the containers from the large bag one by one.
“Yan Shao, are you going to eat now?”
Unlike Yan Shao’s strict and rigid biological clock, Zhu Qianying was a very casual person. She ate when she was hungry and slept when she was tired.
So, when she asked Yan Shao, it was the equivalent of asking, “Are you hungry? If you are hungry, let’s eat now.”
She was separated from Yan Shao by glass, so he couldn’t hear her clearly.
“Hmm?”
So Zhu Qianying paused, sticking her head out from the glass door to ask again, “I asked if you are hungry. If you’re hungry, eat now.”
Usually, Yan Shao would have afternoon tea at four o’clock. But today, he had lunch at one o’clock and skipped the tea. Add the frustration from the argument with Zhu Qianying, he hadn’t eaten much lunch.
Now, when asked by Zhu Qianying, he suddenly felt quite hungry.
