Chapter 73 -73: Not Much Different from Before
Zhu Qianying stared at him deeply, unconsciously opening the bottle. She tilted her head back, taking another big gulp of juice. After finishing, she wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand.
She stared at Xing Bailun and asked, “Aaron, tell me the truth. Is all the busyness you’ve mentioned because of Yan Shao?”
Xing Bailun was slightly startled, “Ying Zi, where did that thought come from?”
Even though Xing Bailun denied it like this, Zhu Qianying’s intuition told her that she had guessed right!
Zhu Qianying at this moment was quite vexed and slightly angry, and she also felt useless. After doing so much, she still ended up involving her best friend.
“Ying Zi, don’t overthink it. This is just my regular work. Every month, there will be two or three days like this. Don’t you know it very well?”
Xing Bailun quickly explained, but in the eyes of Zhu Qianying, this was merely a cover-up.
“Aaron, I’m sorry!” Zhu Qianying said, deeply despondent.
Seeing that he couldn’t conceal it anymore, Xing Bailun had to comfort her. “Ying Zi, don’t think too much about it. It’s normal to have some disagreements in a collaboration. This not only happens with Yan Shao but also happens with Qi Xiao’s company. Personal feelings can’t affect our official business.”
Having explained this much, if Zhu Qianying continued to brood, it would only make everyone uncomfortable.
“Mm!” She turned and opened the door to the driver’s seat, tossing the unfinished drink into the car, “You feeling better? You can sleep some more if you want, I can keep driving.”
Xing Bailun leaned against the car door, “I’ve slept enough. I’ll drive.”
Zhu Qianying obediently moved aside, and got into the car from the co-pilot’s side.
“So, what are your plans going forward?”
What Xing Bailun was asking about were Zhu Qianying’s plans after their marriage.
But Zhu Qianying hadn’t thought much about life after marriage. Even now, she didn’t have a real sense of the fact that she was about to get married, so it’s impossible that she would think about the future.
“I don’t know, maybe it won’t be much different from before!” Zhu Qianying said carelessly.
Yan Shao, at times, was quite domineering and possessive. But he also seemed to not have time or the heart to care about her other matters. As long as she herself was careful, not crossing his bottom line, even if they got married, there likely wouldn’t be much difference.
Besides, he promised yesterday that he would draft a contract. When the time comes, she will just write her own requirements into it.
Xing Bailun didn’t comment on her answer. After that, the conversation between the two diverted and no one mentioned Yan Shao again.
By the time they reached the South Gate of R University, it was already afternoon.
Zhu Qianying had Xing Bailun stay in the car to rest a while. She got out of the car and called her younger sister, Zhu Qianyu, to meet her at the security room.
A few minutes later, Zhu Qianying saw her sister running towards the South Gate Security Office, panting for breath. Zhu Qianying rushed over and tightly embraced Zhu Qianyu.
“Xiao Yu, have you missed your sister?”
Probably because the hug was too tight, Zhu Qianyu leaned her chin on Zhu Qianying’s shoulder and pushed her slightly at the waist.
“Sister, less mushy stuff please!”
“Tsk, Xiao Yu has grown up and is no longer fun!”
Zhu Qianying sighed, let go of her, and forcefully pushed her away. Xiao Yu’s pretty face then appeared before her.
“Sister, why did you come here? Aren’t you busy?”
“I am busy, but I came with Aaron to get some things done and thought I’d drop by to see you.”
Zhu Qianyu lifted her head and looked around. In the security room, there was no sign of Xing Bailun.
As if Zhu Qianying had seen through her thoughts, she hooked an arm around Zhu Qianyu and walked out of the duty room, pointing to the Land Rover parked outside the gate, “Look, he is sleeping in the car.”
After pointing it out to Zhu Qianyu, Zhu Qianying turned around and waved at the security officer in the room, “Big brother, thank you!”
“You’re welcome, take care.” The security officer responded with a gentle smile.
Zhu Qianying led Zhu Qianyu to the car, the car door unlocked with a click.
“Hello, Brother Lun!” Zhu Qianyu jumped into the car and greeted Xing Bailun with a smile.
Xing Bailun looked at her seriously, “Xiao Yu seems to have lost weight?”
Zhu Qianying, who had just got into the car, looked at Zhu Qianyu carefully, nodding, “Yes, she really has lost weight.”
“Ah, my dear Xiao Yu has started to suffer for love!” Zhu Qianying joked. This was a typical prank between the sisters.
However, Zhu Qianying didn’t know that this time, her words had hit the mark!
“Sister, you’re talking nonsense again.” Zhu Qianyu muttered under her breath.
Zhu Qianying glanced at her, feeling that this little girl was hiding something from her, but on Xing Bailun’s account, it wasn’t appropriate to ask more.
“Xiao Yu, you’re familiar with this area. Whatever you want to eat, just lead the way.”
Xing Bailun started the car and adjusted the direction.
“You guys tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll lead the way.” Zhu Qianyu acted like a hostess.
However, Zhu Qianying and Xing Bailun always saw her as a little girl.
“Heh, Xiao Yu, little miss, are you intending to treat Brother Lun to a meal?” Xing Bailun was very amused, even though there were clear signs of tiredness on his face.
“Of course, it’s not right that guests from afar pay for the meal.”
“Your sister loves Hunan cuisine. You can lead the way.”
The two went back and forth, not leaving Zhu Qianying any room to chime in. However, the place to eat was chosen based on Zhu Qianying’s taste.
Zhu Qianying shrugged, making an indifferent gesture, thus setting their dining destination in a cheerful manner.
“Sister…”
As the car started up, Zhu Qianyu leaned over to Zhu Qianying’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Does Yan Shao know about Brother Aaron?”
Zhu Qianying paused, thinking back to that evening at Tongyao’s place, then she shook her head, “I don’t know. What does it have to do with him?”
The two sisters fell silent, each brooding for a while, until Xing Bailun asked about the route to the Hunan restaurant. Zhu Qianyu then leaned over the back of her seat, signaling him to take a left turn at the intersection up front and go straight for 500 meters.
“How is mom recently?” Zhu Qianyu asked.
“Her? The same as always.” Zhu Qianying thought of her mom’s pitiful demeanor from yesterday and felt a throbbing headache.
However, she didn’t want her sister to know about the mess at home. After all, the little girl wouldn’t be able to help anyway. Even if she knew about it, it would just mean one more person worrying over it.
Over the years, Zhu Qianying had gotten used to bearing everything herself.
As for her sister, she just wanted her to cheerfully enjoy her college life.
Besides, their mother was always the same; there was really nothing else to discuss. For decades, she had been living the same day over and over again. Every day she woke up early to prepare their father’s meals and went to bed late after preparing his midnight snack. There was really nothing worth talking about in this repetitive life.

The car soon stopped outside the Hunan restaurant. Once the three of them entered the private room and sat down for tea, Zhu Qianying said to her sister, “Xiao Yu, can you take a day off tomorrow? Do you know some fun places around here? Come hang out with us.”
