If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Chapter 115 1 Talent

He glanced at Zhu's mother's expression and deliberately coughed loudly, "Ahem! I said, that's enough! It's early in the morning, be mindful of your behavior!"

As he spoke, he winked at his daughter, hoping she would understand his good intentions.

Zhu Tingyue immediately received his message. After letting go of Shen Yanqiu, she ran to her mother's side and gave her a big hug, whispering in her mother's ear, "Thank you, Mom!"

Most of the time, Zhu Tingyue's coquettishness works! Just like now!

Upon hearing her words, Zhu's mother couldn't help but smile, revealing a warm and kind smile.

Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and a few faint crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes, but this did not affect the charm and friendliness of her smile in the slightest.

On the contrary, these fine wrinkles make her look more charming and elegant with the passage of time.

"Alright, you're always acting all cutesy, aren't you ashamed?" Zhu's mother said, gently patting her back.

Zhu Tingyue shook her head repeatedly: "No shame, no shame! What's so shameful about me acting cute with my own mother!"

Zhu's mother couldn't do anything about her, so she shook her head and remained silent.

It was a rare day when Zhu Mingchuan wasn't at work, so the family ate dinner and chatted together.

Zhu Mingchuan looked at his daughter, then at Shen Yanqiu, and asked, "Now that the matter of the child is settled, what about the rest?"

“What about your identities, and what will the Shen family say? We can’t keep going like this, can we? You two are the parties involved, and your mother and I can’t keep making decisions for you.”

Zhu Tingyue and Shen Yanqiu exchanged a glance. Shen Yanqiu sat up straight and answered him seriously: "Regarding the issue of my and Yueyue's identities, I have decided not to switch back with her! It's fine this way."

"As for the Shen family, I don't care. Whether or not to tell them about this, or when to tell them, is not important. I'll have to trouble Mom and Dad to take care of the rest!"

Zhu Mingchuan listened to his words with a frown, and regret kept welling up in his heart.

Just by listening to Shen Yanqiu's words, you can tell that his status in the Shen family isn't very high!

Logically speaking, based on his understanding of Shen Yingchu, that old fox, even though he was an illegitimate son, shouldn't the other son be treated as a key figure to be cultivated, given that one son wasn't managing the company? So why was he ignoring Shen Yanqiu?

In this way, Shen Yanqiu wouldn't even be able to get through the gates of the Shen family company, so how could he possibly give Yueyue a bright future? He couldn't possibly build the company from scratch, could he?

He scrutinized Shen Yanqiu with a critical eye, various thoughts swirling in his mind: Shen Yanqiu was indeed good-looking, but what good was good looks alone? You can't eat with your face, can you? Did he think this was the entertainment industry?

Wait! Things seem to be taking a turn for the better!

He withdrew his gaze and put on a kind expression: "Yanqiu, what are your plans for the future?"

Shen Yanqiu had already planned for her future life. When asked by her father-in-law, she answered fluently: "I will go back to work after I give birth. My previous small company had decent revenue, and I will focus on the company from now on."

"Oh, is that so!" Zhu Mingchuan drawled out his words. As soon as Zhu's mother and Zhu Tingyue saw his expression, they knew that he had no good intentions and had dug some trap for Shen Yanqiu to fall into!

Zhu Tingyue wanted to stop him, but was intimidated by his gaze and hesitated, not stepping forward.

Let it go, Dad's still angry. This time, let's just let him be!

Besides, if he goes too far with his words, he'll get angry too.

After weighing the two options, Zhu Tingyue remained silent, and her mother shared the same thought.

So the two of them focused their attention on their own thoughts and sat still.

Sure enough, the two heard Zhu Mingchuan ask, "It's good that you have ideas. Young people, it's not that we're afraid of being poor, it's that we're afraid of not being able to think. It's great that you have such an idea."

"I think you're quite handsome. With your looks, you'd stand out in a crowd at a glance!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Tingyue, giving her a reassuring look, and continued, "Yueyue has excellent taste. You two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

Shen Yanqiu was embarrassed by his praise, and at the same time, she was also wondering: "Did the sun rise in the west today? Or did Zhu Mingchuan take the wrong medicine? He actually praised himself! I'm so flattered!"

He lowered his head as he was praised, his hands unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of his clothes, his eyes darting around, too shy to meet the others' gaze.

Zhu Mingchuan continued, "Yanqiu, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you an outstanding person! Uncle wants to ask you, do you have any plans to change jobs?"

"Huh?" Shen Yanqiu suddenly raised her head, her eyes showing a moment of confusion.

He blinked, asking incredulously, "I'm changing jobs? Why?"

Zhu Mingchuan rarely had the patience to talk to him, explaining things point by point: "First of all, you have good physical attributes. Even in other fields, you would be able to beat others."

"Secondly, you have resilience! Let me tell you, seeing your perseverance reminds me of myself back then. As long as you keep going, you'll succeed no matter what you do!"

"And another thing, your temperament, if I had to say, is one in a million. Of all the young people I've seen, you're the most outstanding!"

"What's that phrase again? I think it's 'a fine tree with orchids and magnolias'! Yes! Isn't that a perfect description of you?"

His long speech, which seemed to be praising Shen Yanqiu, was actually actually a compliment to Zhu Tingyue.

Zhu Tingyue and her mother watched quietly as he, like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, seemed to have ulterior motives.

Under Zhu Mingchuan's barrage of sweet talk, Shen Yanqiu, the person involved, gradually lowered her guard against him, blinking her bright eyes and listening quietly to him speak.

Zhu Mingchuan didn't care about Zhu Tingyue and his wife's expressions; as long as they didn't interrupt him, Shen Yanqiu was the main character.

Seeing that Shen Yanqiu was confused by what he said, whether he believed it or not was secondary; the main thing was that he could take it to heart.

He seized the opportunity and took the initiative to get closer to Shen Yanqiu, which was unprecedented.

Shen Yanqiu stared wide-eyed in surprise as Zhu Mingchuan drew closer and closer. He held his breath, not daring to make a single move.

Did Zhu Mingchuan take the wrong medicine today? Otherwise, how can his series of abnormal behaviors be explained?

Having found a suitable spot, Zhu Mingchuan thought that Shen Yanqiu, if not moved to tears, should at least be somewhat grateful.

But what's with that expression on his face? Does he think he's some kind of jackal or tiger? He's just getting a little close, not like he's going to eat him?

He stared at Shen Yanqiu for a few seconds before continuing, "Do you want to be a star?"
