“You’re a little wolf dog!” Yan Qing grabbed Zhan Yan Chen’s collar, pulling him down, and raised her head to kiss him back defiantly.
In the afternoon, after finalizing the cooperation proposal, Yan Qing stood up and looked at Zhan Yan Chen, who was walking over from the window.
“Zhan Yan Chen, I’m going to Fengxing. You…”
“I’ll go with you.” Zhan Yan Chen took her hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Yan Qing playfully teased his tense jaw with a smile. “Worried that your big sister might get tricked?”
“No.” Zhan Yan Chen said, “Worried that big sister might look at other little puppy dogs.”
Yan Qing: “……” This little puppy dog’s possessiveness is quite strong.
Yan Qing tossed the car keys to him, and the two left the company for Fengxing.
Fengxing Conference Room.
When Cheng En saw Yan Qing, he stood up with a smile, but upon noticing Zhan Yan Chen following behind her, his smile froze at the corners of his mouth. His legs went weak, and he nearly knelt on the spot.
Wh… why is the Crown Prince here?
“Hello, Director Cheng. I’m Yan Qing, the general manager of Yuerong.” Yan Qing extended her right hand.
Just as Cheng En was about to shake hands with Yan Qing, he caught a death glare. Reacting swiftly, he brushed his palms together and scratched his head instead. “Sorry, Manager Yan. My wife is very strict. If she finds out I shook hands with another woman, she’d break my arm.”
Yan Qing: “…”
That’s truly strict.
Zhan Yan Chen withdrew his death glare and extended his hand with a faint smile. “Hello, I’m Yan Qing’s husband, Zhan Yan Chen.”
So Manager Yan is the mysterious Mrs. Zhan?
So the Crown Prince started acquiring Fengxing even before returning to the country, just to get Mrs. Zhan’s brand into Fengxing?
Tsk, the Crown Prince is really something!
Who said the Crown Prince was a lunatic? Or that he kept women at a distance?
Not only does the Crown Prince keep women close, but he’s also the second wife-spoiling maniac in the Zhan family!
“H-hello.” Cheng En’s smile looked more like a grimace as he quickly shook hands with Zhan Yan Chen. “Manager Yan and… Mr. Zhan are such a perfect match. Even signing a contract together—how affectionate.”
Yan Qing smiled awkwardly.
The three of them sat down. As Cheng En reviewed the cooperation proposal Yan Qing had drafted, he secretly admired it. For a first-time collaboration with a shopping mall, the proposal was clear in its approach and meticulous in its details.
Talented and beautiful—truly worthy of being Mrs. Zhan!
As Yan Qing read through the contract, she grew increasingly astonished. The store location Fengxing offered was the best, and not only was there a decoration subsidy, but it was as high as 95%!
This significantly reduced Yuerong’s investment and promotional costs.
Even more shocking was that the rent was 30% lower than she had anticipated??
Was Fengxing recruiting businesses or running a charity?
Seeing her suspicion arise, Zhan Yan Chen shot a sharp glance at Cheng En.
Cheng En immediately straightened up, his heart pounding with fear. “Manager Yan, not only are your designs fashionable and innovative, but your vision is also sharp. Choosing Zhan Ge, whose commercial value in the entertainment industry is unparalleled, as Yuerong’s spokesperson will elevate the brand’s popularity to its peak, making countless jewelry brands envious.”
Yan Qing’s brows relaxed. As Zhan Yan Chen had said, it was because of Zhan Ge.
But she still had to ask, “Director Cheng, judging from the contract, Fengxing stands to make little to no profit from recruiting Yuerong for at least three years. Even with Zhan Ge as the spokesperson, the terms Fengxing offered shouldn’t be this favorable, right?”
Cheng En had already prepared his response. “Manager Yan, in the hustle and bustle of business, everyone seeks profit. What I value is not just Zhan Ge’s star power, but also Yuerong’s trendsetting and innovative designs.”
“Although Yuerong is a new brand, Fengxing Commercial Building’s operational capability is second only to Zhan Corporation. I believe that with Yuerong entering Fengxing, both sides will achieve unexpected profits.”
“This is a mutually beneficial cooperation. If Manager Yan has no objections to the contract, we can sign it now.” If they didn’t sign soon, the Crown Prince’s glare could slice him into a thousand pieces.
Yan Qing tightly gripped Zhan Yan Chen’s hand, masking her excitement. She had already decided to cooperate with Fengxing before coming here.
The renovation of the new store was a major expense, and Fengxing had offered to cover all costs, saving her a significant amount. Naturally, she had no objections.
Most importantly, Fengxing attracted young crowds, making it the most suitable mall for Yuerong’s long-term development.
After signing the contract and seeing the two off, Cheng En wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, finally completing the task assigned by the Crown Prince smoothly.
Once in the car, Yan Qing could no longer contain herself. Excitedly, she hugged Zhan Yan Chen. “Zhan Yan Chen, as soon as I married you, my company secured its spot. Other couples have wives bringing luck to their husbands, but in my case, it’s the husband bringing luck to his wife. Ahhh, my treasure puppy, I love you so much!”
After saying this, Yan Qing kissed Zhan Yan Chen, playfully teasing his thin lips.
Zhan Yan Chen wrapped his arms around Yan Qing’s slender waist, his voice husky. “Be good, call me husband.”
“Luck-bringing husband!”
Zhan Yan Chen gave her lips a gentle peck and affectionately ruffled her hair. “Wife, where should we go now?”
“I’m heading back to the company to celebrate with the employees. You should hurry back to school and focus on your studies.”
Zhan Yan Chen tightened his arm around her, nearly squeezing the breath out of Yan Qing. His voice was deep and tinged with grievance. “Darling, are you turning cold after kissing me?”
To prove she wasn’t, Yan Qing kissed him on the lips again. “Zhan Yan Chen, you’re still a student. You should prioritize your studies.”
“…I have no classes today.” Zhan Yan Chen lowered his head, gently kissing Yan Qing’s delicate collarbone. “Wife, I want to go home and celebrate with you.”
Yan Qing shivered from his teasing, her heart softening. She asked Zhan Yunduan to organize the celebration for everyone while she and Zhan Yan Chen returned to their apartment.
Living in the spacious penthouse, they could enjoy the bustling night view in the evenings, while during the day, it felt like living among the clouds.
Zhan Yan Chen went to prepare the celebration food, while Yan Qing returned to the room to change. To her surprise, she found the house had been cleaned.
Opening the wardrobe, she discovered a row of men’s clothes hanging inside. After a moment of astonishment, she rushed to the bathroom.
As she expected, all the single-use items had been replaced with couples’ sets.
Couples’ towels, electric toothbrushes, water flossers, bath towels, slippers…
When did the little puppy move in?
Not satisfied with just marriage, did he want to live with her too?
Yan Qing stormed into the open kitchen, only to pause at the sight of Zhan Yan Chen making juice. She stared intently.
His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing taut, muscular forearms that were both sleek and sensual. His long, slender fingers, with distinct knuckles, rested elegantly on the edge of the cup.
After watching for a few seconds, Yan Qing swallowed the words she was about to say and turned back to the room.
They were married—living together was only natural!
As she turned away, Zhan Yan Chen looked up, a sly smile curling on his lips.
As night fell, Zhan Yan Chen prepared a table full of the foods Yan Qing had requested.
Fried chicken wings, fried drumsticks, all sorts of fried delights.
The two sat on the carpet between the coffee table and the sofa. Zhan Yan Chen raised his glass, his face glowing with pride. “Wife, congratulations on Yuerong’s successful entry into the mall.”
Yan Qing didn’t dare to drink alcohol, so she picked up her juice glass instead. “Thank you, my husband who brings me good fortune!”
Zhan Yan Chen looked at her helplessly, his eyes filled with tenderness, yet somewhat puzzled. “Why do you like eating these things?”
Yan Qing finished gnawing on a chicken wing before answering him. “When I was little, my parents never let me eat this kind of food. The first time I tried it was on the day I became a young woman—my mom personally cooked a whole table of it for me.”
“Ever since then, whenever there’s something worth celebrating, I eat these.” Yan Qing asked him, “What about you? What do you want to eat when celebrating?”
Zhan Yan Chen wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth. “There’s only been one thing worth celebrating for me.”
Yan Qing took off her gloves and lifted his chin with her finger. “Little brother, share it with your big sister.”
Zhan Yan Chen gazed at her with burning intensity and said slowly, “Marrying you.”
Yan Qing didn’t believe him. “Besides that, there’s nothing else? Like winning a school competition? Getting into university? Getting your driver’s license?”
“Those aren’t worth mentioning.”
This little puppy is quite proud.
Zhan Yan Chen turned to look at Yan Qing, whose cheeks were puffed out as she ate, swirling his wine glass as he hesitated whether to reveal his true identity.
