"Weren't you eager to marry me yesterday? What, having second thoughts?" The expression on the young master's face and his tone were equally arrogant!
"No! Of course not!" Zhu Qianying shook her head without a moment's hesitation.
"Since you're not having second thoughts, isn't meeting the parents a necessity?" The young master rarely smiled at her, "Or are you saying, you thought you didn't need to meet the parents?"
Zhu Qianying, whose thoughts have been seen through, hastily waved her hands in denial, "Of course not, how can we get married without meeting the parents?"
The young master clearly did not believe her, suddenly leaning in with his hands supporting the back of the sofa, extending towards her, she almost thought his sharp nose was about to touch her face.
The young master's sharp gaze swept across her face, she vaguely felt a chill from her cheeks.
"Because, you think I'm different from others! So, I definitely don't play by the rules. The mundane act of meeting the parents is not something a maverick like me would do, is that what you're thinking?"
Zhu Qianying knew this man was formidable, but she did not expect him to be so perceptive. She had indeed thought about what he just pointed out, but she hadn't said anything. How did he so easily understand her inner thoughts?
Little did she know, the young master had not only watched all of her selection scenes from the day before, but he also repeatedly analyzed any frames he found interesting. So, many of her secret gestures and actions, even those unknown to her, were completely clear to the young master. Of course, the subtle raising of her eyebrows and smirking only piqued his interest even more.
At the moment, the special assistant stood by seeing the young master behaving unusually, his nerves on edge.
"Master, Miss Zhu is indeed pretty, but isn't it enough to keep you up at night?" the assistant cautiously voiced out.
The young master was in a rare good mood and did not hold it against him.
"You don't get it, before long, this woman will sleep next to me. If I don't understand her thoroughly, I won't even know how I'd die."
As mentioned before, the young master is well renowned in both the black and white world. Apart from having the backing of a strong family background, the individual himself must also be highly competent. The fact that he took over at the age of eighteen, adhering to that position for ten years, signifies his extremely high IQ, skills, and abilities.
Those familiar with him know that he is a man who is overly meticulous and cautious. After all, given his position, the tiniest bit of carelessness could cost him his life.
Moreover, this time, that person would be his wife, how could he be at peace without fully understanding her?
Hearing the young master's words, frankly speaking, the special assistant was taken aback and found it utterly baffling.
Anyone who understood the young master more, including Lady Yan and the special assistant, from the very beginning deemed the young master's wife selection contest as a farce.
The purpose of the farce? Simply to stir up lots of trouble and then come to nothing at the end.
But now, against all expectations, the farce actually had a result, and what's more, the young master seemed satisfied with it, even looking forward to it?
The young master couldn't care less what others thought about his haphazard judgments. At this point, he was very interested in the woman before him. Seeing her silent, he moved his face even closer to her's.
"Really? Hmm?"
"Really! Definitely not!"
Zhu Qianying shook her head vigorously, her face full of sincerity, suggesting she was not at all lying, she was just short of swearing an oath.
"Good if it's not!"
Although the young master did not believe her words, he was quite satisfied with her sense of timing.
As for games, the opponent must understand the rules for it to be interesting. He disliked those who only nodded obediently, and those who were obstinate and inflexible were equally uninteresting.
But she was just right!
She was inherently stubborn but understood that a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Her ability to keep her head down at the right time and take the path of least resistance was top-notch.
Although she thought differently deep inside, compelled by circumstances, she knows to say one thing and mean another for greater gains.
From the perspective of others, these traits of Zhu Qianying may not be considered strengths.
But from the young master's perspective, they fit his taste perfectly.
The young master, with a mysterious smile in his eyes, stood upright, "Qin Xiu!"
The omnipotent assistant appeared as if he were a ghost, "Master, how may I assist you?"
"Tell her about the lady's preferences!"
With that, the young master turned and walked towards the staircase, as if Zhu Qianying meant nothing to him.
"Understood!" Qin Xiu responded respectfully and courteously bowed to Zhu Qianying with an "after you" gesture, "Miss Zhu, please!"
Zhu Qianying followed him to the center of the living room, clutching her backpack tightly.
On the coffee table in front of the sofa, the servants had already swiftly set down two steaming cups of hot tea.
Indeed, the deep-rooted and genuine aristocratic family was different. Whether it was the servants at the mansion or the staff under him, all were much smarter than those suck-ups of the Zhu family!
Zhu Qianying's thoughtful gaze lingered on the hot tea for a second or two, and the equally smart omnipotent assistant misunderstood her meaning.
"Miss Zhu, you don't like tea? What do you like to drink? Coffee or juice? I'll have someone change it for you!"
By this point, Zhu Qianying somewhat understood where the young master's domineering nature came from.
It was completely cultivated!
With such meticulous and thoughtful butlers and assistants, if they didn't spoil him and treat him like a lord, what else could they do?
"No need, tea is fine!"
Zhu Qianying casually sat down and picked up the tea cup to take a sip.
After her verbal sparring with the young master, she felt a parched throat and exhaustion, although she didn't say much.
Indeed, when the opponent is too strong, the physical and mental energy consumed surpasses her expectations.
"Miss Zhu, the plane carrying the lady and the master is expected to land at the airport around two o'clock. The young master has important things to do in the afternoon and can't pick them up. You can take a rest and then go to the airport with Uncle Hai to pick up the lady and the master later."
She understood the beginning of the content, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't comprehend.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Qin, are you saying that I should pick up Lady Yan and Master Yan by myself?"
"That's right!" Qin Xiu nodded.
"Why?" Zhu Qianying asked.
"Ah?" Like the young master, Qin Xiu did not understand her and hence didn't expect her to ask back.
Generally speaking, in Qin Xiu's conception, whatever the young master ordered, it's not a matter of questioning why, but a matter of executing it.
No one dared to ask why!
