The first thing Cheng Ye saw was Zhu Qianying.

A smile naturally appeared on his face.

Before Cheng Ye could finish his sentence, he saw Yan Han following behind Zhu Qianying, and his smile froze on his lips.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm here to check on my wife's workplace, is that alright?"

At this moment, Yan Han was behaving with great manners and politeness, completely different from the arrogant young master Yan who had made Cheng Ye want to strangle him at the airport.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Even if Cheng Ye wanted to refuse, he couldn't bring himself to say it in front of so many people.

"Whatever..." Cheng Ye suppressed the urge to curse, finished speaking with a cold face, and slammed the door shut.

Yan Han curled his lips into a smug smile and shrugged at Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying was at a loss for words when it came to this young master Yan beside her. She just wanted to quickly show him around her office and then get him out of there as soon as possible!

After pulling Yan Han a few steps, they heard the sound of a door opening, and then Cheng Ye's voice came from behind them.

"Shadow, the meeting starts in five minutes. Everyone's waiting for you!"

"OK!"

Zhu Qianying had just given Yan Han a tour of the headquarters, and had largely achieved her goal. Now, Cheng Ye had given her another reason to get rid of Young Master Yan. She couldn't help but mentally wag her V-sign. Oh yeah! This is truly heaven's help!

Zhu Qianying opened her office door and went in first, then opened the main door and gestured for her to come in.

Yan Han strode in like a high-ranking official on an inspection tour, stood in the center of the office, looked left and right, and then uttered two words, "So small!"

Zhu Qianying was too lazy to complain to him. "Uncle Yan, you've seen the office space. Can you return to your capital now?"

Zhu Qianying believed that whether he came to assert sovereignty, show off, demonstrate, or make his name known, he had already achieved all his goals and had no reason to stay any longer!

But Young Master Yan is clearly no ordinary person, and his actions cannot be guessed or predicted using the rules of ordinary people.

"I know you have a meeting! Go ahead, I'll stay a little longer!"

Grandpa Yan waved his hand, indicating to Zhu Qianying that she didn't need to worry about him and that he could take care of himself.

That manner was just like when a little boy sometimes complains that adults are interfering too much with him and impatiently chases them away from his territory.

Although Zhu Qianying was anxious, she checked the time and saw that there were only two minutes left before Cheng Ye mentioned five minutes. Too lazy to argue with him any longer, she quickly packed up, grabbed a pile of documents, and hurriedly left with her laptop.

She thought he would stay a few more minutes and then leave on his own.

After Zhu Qianying left, Yan Han went directly behind her desk, pulled out a chair, sat down, took out his laptop, and began to handle his official business as if he were on his own turf.

Zhu Qianying carried the documents and laptop to the conference room, but the conference room was empty, with no sign of the senior executives, only Cheng Ye sitting in the chairman's seat.

When their eyes met, Zhu Qianying immediately realized that there was no meeting at all!

Even though she understood, Zhu Qianying still pretended not to understand and glanced around, "Is it just the two of us?"

Cheng Ye nodded and pointed to the seat next to him, "Yeah, it's just the two of us!"

Zhu Qianying hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and went over to sit down.

"Here, take this!"

Cheng Ye pushed a drink towards her. Zhu Qianying looked down and saw that it was the signature drink of her favorite coffee shop: a matcha latte.

"Thanks!"

Zhu Qianying spoke softly as she placed the documents on the conference table.

Then, I took out my laptop and turned it on.

Even though she knew Cheng Ye wasn't talking to her about business, she still acted as if it were business.

She also knew perfectly well what Cheng Ye was going to say to her next.

Actually, when she first came to the United States, Cheng Ye had a girlfriend. It was said that they were childhood sweethearts, but later, for some reason, the two childhood sweethearts broke up.

At that time, Zizai had not yet been born.

She, the employee he always called "little girl," was even dragged by him to drink with him a few times while he was feeling down. Of course, she drank juice while he drank alcohol, and they drank it all in the office.

Later, when Zai Zai was born, he, as the boss and fellow townsman, naturally took on many responsibilities.

He took her to the hospital to prepare for childbirth, helped Chen Jing take care of Zhu Qianying and the newborn Zizai, and later he often accompanied her, Zizai and Chen Jing on weekends to go out and play. To unsuspecting people, the four of them were simply a happy family of four.

Later, when Zizai was a little over a year old, he told her that he was willing to be Zizai's father and that he was willing to take care of her and Zizai for the rest of their lives. But she rejected him immediately, almost without thinking.

Deep down, she knew very well that Cheng Ye was a rare and wonderful man.

He is responsible, patient with children, and gentle and considerate towards her.

Even though she was deeply moved by him, she just couldn't develop any feelings for him beyond friendship.

Therefore, she often mocks herself as a scumbag, a heartless person.

No matter how kind others are to me, I can never reciprocate in the slightest.

Xing Bailun was like this, and so was Cheng Ye.

As for the other men who had a slight liking for her, in order not to cause trouble, she would distance herself from them for various reasons whenever she saw even the slightest hint of something. One man like Cheng Ye was enough; she really didn't want to feel guilty towards any other man.

Actually, over the past few years, she had considered just agreeing to Cheng Ye's offer.

Upon closer reflection, however, he realized that others had treated him with such enthusiasm, yet he had only received a false response. This kind of compromise was not only extremely irresponsible to himself, but also an insult and harm to Cheng Ye.

"Shadow, you and Yan Han..."

Cheng Ye, who had been silently watching her arrange the documents in an orderly manner and then turn on the computer, finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Hmm?!" Zhu Qianying looked up at him, thinking to herself, "It's finally here!"

"You and him have made up?"

Without a second thought, Zhu Qianying nodded. "Yes, when we went back this time, he explained all the misunderstandings from the past to me, and then we cleared up the grudges and made up as good as ever!"

Zhu Qianying's words sounded very high-sounding, but the truth was that she and Yan Han had never been on good terms, so how could things have been the same as before?

Even now, Zhu Qianying still doesn't understand Yan Han's true purpose in insisting on this marriage.

His purpose in coming to the United States this time has become increasingly elusive.
