Chapter 36 -36 Dare to Touch You, Just Try
Uncle Hai finished reporting and carried the potted plant upstairs.
“Wait, what are you holding?” Young Master Yan stopped Uncle Hai.
“Oh, this? It’s a gift from Ying’er!” Uncle Hai answered honestly.
“A gift?” Young Master Yan’s sharp eyes lingered on the pot.
It’s remarkable that the little girl thought of bringing such peculiar things as gifts. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t dare to bring such gifts when paying a visit.
Really, she must have run out of money!
Uncle Hai didn’t understand the meaning behind the young master’s half-smiling expression, so he could only add, “Yes, it’s called Chinese Lucky Grass.”
Hearing this, Young Master Yan displayed a thoughtful expression. Finally, he had some understanding of why the girl had brought these two pots.
“Alright, put one in my parents’ bedroom and one in mine.”
After giving the instructions, Young Master Yan strode towards the terrace.
“Ah?” Uncle Hai was startled. After understanding the young master’s intention, he hurriedly stopped him, “No… young master, the Master said one pot for their bedroom and one for his study.”
Uncle Hai stood in the middle of the staircase with both pots, unsure of whether to go up or down, his face showing embarrassment.
Young Master Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, “On what grounds?”
Since the girl had brought two pots, clearly one was for his mother and the other was for him. Why should his gift be given to his father?
Even though it is just an inexpensive plant, in the end, it’s a gift for him. Why should his father get it for free?

“This?” Uncle Hai was left speechless.
How would he know the reason? As a servant, he always followed his master’s commands. If the master said to go east, he went east; if west, he went west.
But now, one master wanted him to go east, the other west. Wasn’t this obviously making his life difficult?
“Alright, put them as I said.”
Young Master Yan didn’t have the patience to struggle with Uncle Hai’s predicament. He waved his hand to signal him to hurry up and turned and walked towards the terrace.
Mrs. Yan was facing the terrace door. Upon hearing the sound, she looked up, saw Young Master Yan, and waved at him with a smile.
“Son, you’re back? Come sit and taste the tea Ying’er made.”
Zhu Qianying, with her back to the terrace door, heard Mrs. Yan’s words and also turned her head to look. Seeing him, she squinted her eyes and nodded at him with a smile, “Young Master Yan!”
Young Master Yan glanced at her and gave a slight nod, recognizing her greeting.
With long strides, he walked towards her and sat down beside her.
Mrs. Yan heard Zhu Qianying’s courteous but distant call to Young Master Yan, finally understanding why Zhu Qianying looked so surprised when she heard the name “Xiao Han”.
Could it be that her foolish son had already accepted her as his future wife, but hadn’t formally introduced her yet?
“Ying’er, why do you call him Young Master Yan like an outsider? Just call him by his name!”
Mrs. Yan decided to help her son.
She always thought her son was smart, but why is he so silly in front of Zhu Qianying?
Zhu Qianying smiled at Mrs. Yan, “Aunt, whatever I call him is just a title after all.” She said, refilling the cup in front of Young Master Yan.
Young Master Yan was odd, she didn’t dare to call him Xiao Han as Mrs. Yan did. Calling him Young Master Yan was safer.
Young Master Yan didn’t understand his mother’s good intentions and just took a sip from his cup.
“Mom, let her call me whatever she wants, it’s alright!”
Thinking about it, if Zhu Qianying, like his mother, keeps calling him “Xiao Han” all day long, he’d be covered in goosebumps.
Mrs. Yan gave an exasperated look at her son; she didn’t bother to pay him any more attention.
“Uncle and aunt, I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you visited my house the other day!”
Just now, Mrs. Yan told her a lot of amusing things about her and Yan Bo’s youth. It wasn’t until now, that Zhu Qianying found the opportunity to apologize for the things that happened that day.
Mrs. Yan and Yan Bo looked at each other and then at her, “Silly girl, we’re family, why are you being so polite?”
Young Master Yan almost spewed out the tea in his mouth. Family? How come he didn’t know?
Though he had acknowledged her victory, he and her, whether in the actual or metaphorical sense, hadn’t done anything yet. They’re already family?
Not only was Young Master Yan surprised, Zhu Qianying was also startled by Mrs. Yan’s mention of “family”.
From the smooth but not lengthy interaction she had had with the old couple, it wasn’t hard to sense that they had a good impression of her.
But she thought it was just a good impression, and by no means an endorsement.
After all, the Yan family is not an ordinary elite family. As she saw it, this kind of family had more rules and the people’s hearts were even more complex.
“Thank you for your understanding, uncle, and aunt.” Zhu Qianying was surprised, but didn’t show it on her face.
“Your dad…” Mrs. Yan carefully observed Zhu Qianying’s face. Seeing no change, she continued, “After you came back, your father and those aunts of yours didn’t treat you badly, right?”
What Mrs. Yan referred to as ‘those aunts’ were naturally Zhu Qianying’s first, second, and third aunts. By the sound of Mrs. Yan’s voice, she was genuinely worried that Zhu Qianying was being bullied at the Zhu family.
Zhu Qianying was slightly moved by Mrs. Yan’s caring expression.
To think that even her mother had only ever been anxious about whether she had offended the Yan family: she’d never expressed any indignation for the cold looks and words Zhu Qianying had to suffer, let alone any concerns or worries.
“Aunt, don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare to mess with me. I apologize for embarrassing you and causing you to laugh at our family’s affairs.”
It seemed that the recent troubles of her family had already been widely spread throughout the city.
Young Master Yan, who was tasting the tea, heard them bringing up this topic. As he thought about the irritating incidents at the Zhu family home that day, he couldn’t help but get angry, “You’re mine. If they dare to touch a hair on your head, just watch!”
Young Master Yan, who had just been complaining to himself that he and Zhu Qianying hadn’t done anything yet, was now assertively proclaiming his ownership.
Mrs. Yan looked at her son with satisfaction and started laughing. A son who’s both strong-willed and protective of his wife, she liked!
“That day, we might have been a bit fiery too. But your uncle and I both are parents ourselves. We can’t stand it when others don’t regard their own children as human beings. You can rest assured, from now on, we will back you up. If they dare to disregard you again, just smack them across the face!”
Mrs. Yan was outspoken and expressed her affections and dislikes very directly.
After living with Yan Bo, her disposition has toned down significantly and she gradually took on the behaviors of an elegant lady, but her fiery nature and innate desire to rectify injustice were things she could never change.
Now that she’s older, there are fewer and fewer things and people that can trigger her fiery nature and sense of injustice.
But what she saw and heard at the Zhu family home that day really taught her a lesson.
