Chapter 52 -52: Are You Discontent with My Kindness?
After Zhu Qianying had finished washing up and changed back into the clothes she had left in the bathroom the night before, she smelled the aroma of food as she walked out.
She looked up and saw various breakfast items beautifully spread out on the coffee table in the living room.
“Come and have breakfast!”
Yan Bo, sat on the sofa, saw her coming out, got up to walk over, seemingly wanting to help her.
Zhu Qianying sidestepped, avoiding his touch, and walked directly to the sofa.
Yan Bo squinted his eyes at her retreating back, listening to her say, “Yan Bo, however you’ve treated me in the past, continue to do so in the future.”
Yan Bo, taken aback, didn’t immediately understand her meaning, “Hmm?”
“Our relationship has always been this way. You don’t have to treat me with such courtesy because of last night. I’m not used to it. Besides, I’m not that weak.”
Zhu Qianying knew that men are creatures who think with their lower halves. He was nice to her after their intimate moment; it was only natural.
However, their relationship didn’t need this extra courtesy.
He gave her extra care, but she had no more extras to give to him.
Men can do many things they don’t want to do because of a night of intimacy, it has nothing to do with sincerity.
But to treat someone well, she must really mean it.
“So, you’re even resenting my kindness?” Yan Bo said in a very calm tone which gave away no emotion. Zhu Qianying took this as his acceptance.
She sat down without a word, silently accepting.
Yan Bo glanced at her, said nothing, and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat breakfast.
Zhu Qianying was happy for the silence. Although she wasn’t the one exerting much effort last night, the ordeal had made her famished. She picked up her own bowl and chopsticks and started eating without hesitation.
Yan Bo eats leisurely. In contrast, Zhu Qianying, although not unruly, eats very quickly and in large amounts.
If one were to judge by speed and appetite alone, without looking at their faces, they would think that Zhu Qianying is the man and Yan Bo is the woman.
Zhu Qianying finished eating before Yan Bo. She took a napkin to clean her mouth and said to Yan Bo, “Yan Bo, could you ask someone to bring my bag up, please.”

After such intimate contact last night, their relationship should have grown closer.
But Zhu Qianying gave Yan Bo the impression of being more formal and distant than when they first met.
“I’ll take you home.” Yan Bo didn’t look at her and continued to eat his breakfast leisurely.
“No need, I’ll take a taxi home.” Zhu Qianying likewise insisted.
Yan Bo put his chopsticks down with a “bang”, glared at her, “Don’t be ungrateful! Do you think I have nothing better to do?”
Zhu Qianying glared back without hesitation, “Thank you, but I know you’re busy, Yan Bo. So I don’t want to bother you. Besides, wouldn’t it be beneath you to compete with a taxi driver?”
If the man in front of her was her actual lover, after a night of intimacy, Zhu Qianying would naturally act a bit coquettish and weak to enjoy her lover’s care and attention.
But the fact is, the connection between her and him was initially a transaction.
And yesterday night’s occurence was likewise, a transaction.
Since it was all transaction, the caring and attention after the fact could be done without.
Yan Bo gave her a thoughtful look, stood up abruptly, lightly said, “Whatever you say!” and stormed out.
Zhu Qianying sat on the sofa in a daze until she heard a knock on the door, “Who is it?”
“Miss Zhu, it’s Qin Xiu, I’ve brought your bag up!”
Zhu Qianying stood up to open the door, and indeed, standing at the door was Qin Xiu.
Zhu Qianying took her bag from him, put it on, “Mr. Qin, could you have someone clean up the things inside?”
Qin Xiu nodded, and Zhu Qianying asked, “Mr. Qin, and my friends…”
“Miss Zhu, don’t worry. They left after breakfast.”
Zhu Qianying frowned, that meant Yan Bo forced them to stay last night?
“Thank you!” Zhu Qianying thanked him and walked towards the elevator.
“Miss Zhu, I’ll take you home.” Qin Xiu hurried after her.
Zhu Qianying waved her hand, hiding her fatigue, “No need, I have other things to do afterwards, thank you.”
Zhu Qianying’s stubbornness, even Yan Bo couldn’t overcome it, not to mention Qin Xiu?
Zhu Qianying waved at Qin Xiu, who was calling a taxi for her, from the car. Once the car drove off, she took out her phone. The lock screen showed multiple missed calls, all from Xing Bailun, some were from after she left last night, and some were recent.
She hit the redial button, and the call was picked up almost immediately.
Xing Bailun’s worried voice came straight into her ears, “Ying Zi, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, what could happen to me? What about you guys? Did his people cause you any trouble last night?”
Zhu Qianying didn’t think she was in any trouble. After all, what happened last night was bound to happen sooner or later. It’s just that it happened a day earlier. From a certain point of view, it was actually a good thing for her.
At least, besides a verbal agreement, she now had a physical relationship with him.
Of course, neither the verbal nor the physical relationship would be valid unless Yan Bo acknowledged them.
But having a double-sided relationship is certainly a better guarantee than a one-sided relationship regardless.
Without a doubt, Zhu Qianying never harboured any illusions about her relationship with Yan Bo from the start.
However, after meeting Yan Bo’s parents, their overwhelming kindness towards her caused a tiny change in her mindset in just a few hours.
That tiny change was shattered into pieces by the reality of last night.
She always knew that her status was not honorable, but it wasn’t her fault. So, she never felt she needed to feel guilty or remorseful for being the child of a mistress.
But Yan Bo, in the presence of her friends, degraded her to the dust.
If not for his words, she wouldn’t have known that he was so bothered by her coming from a mistress.
Even though she knew he looked down on her, she had to consider her friends’ safety and shamelessly offered herself to him.
On this matter, she was very clear that she had no right to accuse Yan Bo of anything. After all, compared to Yan Bo, she too was not too noble. After all, she was the one who proposed the conditions of exchanging a night of intimacy for the safety of Xing Bailun and the others, and he merely accepted her conditions.
Therefore, having even a little fantasy about their relationship, which is based on a transaction, is wishful thinking.
“What could he do to us? He just had us play in the VIP room all night.”
Xing Bailun spoke in a relaxed and natural tone, which moderately alleviated some of Zhu Qianying’s worry.
“Hmm, as long as everyone is fine. I’ll treat you to a meal in a few days to apologize for giving you a fright, I’m sorry.”
Despite everything, Zhu Qianying still felt very apologetic. The originally joyful gathering turned into a shocking experience for everyone because of Yan Bo’s appearance.
“Ying Zi, what could happen to us! But you, did he really not cause you trouble?” Xing Bailun seemed a little skeptical of Zhu Qianying’s words.
“Aaron, don’t underestimate me!” Zhu Qianying casually replied back, pretending to be relaxed.
