Chapter 58 -58 Give Him Some Leeway
At the end of October, Northern regions were howling with a freezing wind, while in the South, it was still warm. Coming out of the airport, Zhu Qianying, who had spent a month in the North, felt momentarily disoriented, as if she had stepped through time and space into another world.

With a coat draped on her arm and dragging her luggage to the side of the road to hail a taxi, she took out her phone in the car and hesitated for a moment, finally deciding to turn it on.
After having disappeared for a month without contacting anyone, she had to face the real world that she found tiresome.
Her mobile was filled with unread messages. She chose to read a few related to her work first. The rest, some from Xing Bailun, some from Qin Xiu, and some from young master Yan, she only glanced over them briefly. All of them were asking her where she had run off to. However, the ones from Xing Bailun were expressing concern, while those from young master Yan were mostly filled with anger.
Zhu Qianying slightly curved her lips, singled out the names of those who had sent her these messages asking for her whereabouts, typed “I am back” in the text bar, and was about to send it. However, at the last moment, she removed young master Yan and Qin Xiu’s names from the recipients before hitting send.
Once sent, to avoid being bombarded with calls, she swiftly turned off her phone, leaned back and closed her eyes for a rest.
As the car entered the city, dreading to face her Zhu family, Zhu Qianying inexplicably felt irritable.
“Uncle, could you please stop at the chain hotel at the next intersection?”
Forget it, she’ll stay outside for a couple of days, rest enough, prepare herself mentally, and then go see people.
Honestly, if she wasn’t concerned about the Yan family’s opinion, she definitely would have stayed in the small city until mid-December before returning. Then, after ten or eight more days, she would directly marry into the Yan family. This way, she wouldn’t even need to see the annoying faces of the Zhu family.
But, would young master Yan just let her disappear for two months?
Thinking about the content of the two most recent text messages from young master Yan, she was sure her delusion would remain an unfounded hope.
The hotel wasn’t high class, but it was clean. After showering, Zhu Qianying turned on the television and randomly flipped through channels.
“… Ever since rumors of poor management started circulating, the share price of Mingxuan Group has been falling. Yesterday, it was at the limit down level…”
Zhu Qianying stared at the screen for two seconds, then switched to another TV station.
Zhu Qianying just lay there, lethargically channel surfing, then fell asleep unknowingly.
“Ding Dong Ding Dong…”
The sudden sound of a bell woke Zhu Qianying. The television was still muttering something. Zhu Qianying, in a daze, propped herself up to look, then dashed barefoot to the door and peeked through the viewer.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t a hotel waitress or someone selling special services, but was young master Yan’s versatile special assistant, Qin Xiu.
Zhu Qianying, who sympathized deeply with him, opened the door without much consideration.
“Mr. Qin…”
Qin Xiu, who was standing outside the door, glanced at her, then quickly looked away.
“Miss Zhu, young master Yan asked me to come and fetch you.”
Zhu Qianying looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why he lowered his head as if seeing a ghost when he saw her?
Looking downward, she noticed that she was only dressed in a cool tank top and shorts. Was Qin Xiu feeling embarrassed?
Zhu Qianying understood Qin Xiu’s position. As the fiancée of young master Yan, she was indirectly his superior, so naturally, he wouldn’t want to offend her.
“Wait for me for a bit!”
Zhu Qianying had no desire to embarrass Qin Xiu. She closed the door, turned, and retreated back into the room to change her clothes.
Actually, she had no intention of hiding from young master Yan. It was just that she couldn’t believe he had come looking for her so quickly.
She had thought she could be free for a few more days.
Little did she know, as soon as she booked her flight back to L City, young master Yan had received the news and arranged to have the driver pick her up on time at the airport.
However, the flight Zhu Qianying was on was delayed by more than two hours. The Yan family’s driver waited for more than two hours and ended up missing her when he went to the toilet.
The driver who failed to pick her up had no choice but to apologize to young master Yan. As a result, young master Yan, who had also held his anger for a month, cursed the driver who stood in front of him asking for forgiveness and ordered Qin Xiu to find Zhu Qianying immediately.
As for how to find her, young master Yan had confidence in Qin Xiu’s abilities.
Qin Xiu’s first instinct was to call the Zhu Family, only to be told that Miss Fifth hadn’t returned home yet. So, Qin Xiu promptly ordered someone to check hotel registration records. As soon as he got the exact location, he immediately drove over to pick her up. This time, he didn’t dare let the Yan family’s driver do the job. If there was another mishap, he, Qin Xiu, wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Qin Xiu, standing outside the door, was anxious, afraid that Zhu Qianying might use some method to slip away while she was back in her room.
Of course, an ordinary woman wouldn’t be able to sneak away from a hotel room. But Zhu Qianying, in Qin Xiu’s eyes, was by no means an ordinary woman.
Fortunately, Zhu Qianying didn’t make him anxious for too long. In less than ten minutes, she came out of the room dressed in a refreshing casual outfit with a small bag on her back.
Seeing her attire, Qin Xiu poked his head to look in her room. “Miss Zhu, where is your luggage?”
Zhu Qianying pulled out the room key and “bam,” shut the door. “It’s in there.”
Although her whereabouts were known to young master Yan, she still didn’t plan to return to the Zhu family for the time being. Naturally, she left her luggage there.
Qin Xiu didn’t have the authority to advise Zhu Qianying on anything, and Zhu Qianying didn’t seem concerned about why young master Yan had someone fetch her. She quietly followed Qin Xiu into the elevator and then silently climbed into the car.
In the end, it was Qin Xiu who couldn’t resist and first revealed young master Yan’s current mood to her.
“Miss Zhu, young master Yan sent a driver to the airport to pick you up. When the driver came back empty-handed, he scolded him bitterly.”
Qin Xiu kept a side-eye on Zhu Qianying through the rearview mirror. However, to his surprise, Zhu Qianying didn’t even raise an eyebrow and merely responded nonchalantly with “oh,” without making any further comment.
Qin Xiu didn’t know whether to admire her nerve or to criticize her indifference.
“Young master Yan seems quite angry. You might want to go easy on him when you see him.”
Although he said that, in reality, Qin Xiu didn’t hold high hopes for Zhu Qianying.
That’s because he had seen her confront young master Yan countless times.
To be precise, when Zhu Qianying went up against young master Yan, even Qin Xiu wouldn’t dare to predict who would win until the very last moment.
“Mmm.” Another perfunctory response.
Qin Xiu silently heaved a sigh and silently prayed that the upcoming war between young master Yan and Zhu Qianying wouldn’t cause any harm to innocent him.
Though his prayer was sincere, the reality was, more than anyone else, he knew that the likelihood of the war not affecting him was zero.
Unless Zhu Qianying could put out the flames before young master Yan managed to ignite it.
But looking at Zhu Qianying’s lukewarm attitude right now, would she take the initiative to help put out young master Yan’s fire?
It would already be quite good if she didn’t add fuel to the fire!
