Chapter 50, he's absolutely insane!
"How about you? Did your business trip go well? Did you get enough rest?" Wen Hanyun touched his face tenderly. "Are you... unhappy?"
"How could that be?" Yan Sheng leaned forward slightly, letting her hand caress his skin.
She said somewhat uncertainly, "I didn't know you were back so early today and had already eaten with them."
He chuckled and reached out to touch the top of her head. "Your friends are so close to you, and making you happy has always been my greatest wish."
The two exchanged questions and answers in gentle tones, but for some reason, Wen Hanyun felt an invisible barrier between them.
Back at the apartment, Yansheng froze the ingredients in the refrigerator, then went into the study. Wen Hanyun sat on the sofa, looking at his somewhat tired back, feeling a mix of emotions.
She wanted to apologize to him, but when the words came to her lips, she was afraid of disturbing his rest.
Yansheng, on the other hand, was doing work that seemed to never end. Occasionally he would come out to see her, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to start.
"Hanyun, I'm sorry for the past few days. I've been too busy and haven't been able to spend enough time with you."
Wen Hanyun looked up at him, her eyes gradually welling up with tears. "I know you're so busy because of me, and you've already done a great job."
“But I don’t want you to suffer any injustice. Even giving them a chance might hurt you,” Yansheng said, holding her hand. “Once things settle down this time, we’ll travel, to wherever you want to go.”
“Okay,” Wen Hanyun smiled, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her face in his chest. “I’ll wait for you.”

Yan Chengyuan had been holding back his anger these past few days. The cooperation between Yan Sheng and the Qin family was progressing unexpectedly smoothly, and the old man's attitude towards him had clearly softened. This made him, who had been secretly trying to trip him up, feel uneasy.
Yan Mingchong has gotten into some kind of trouble these past few days, which is why Yan Sheng, despite being so busy, still has time to deal with him. Apparently, he's been driven to distraction.
That man is absolutely insane!
Yan Chengyuan had a premonition that if things continued to develop unchecked, he would be the one to suffer once Yan Sheng resolved the crisis.
Yan Chengyuan anxiously searched for dirt on Yan Sheng, but he couldn't find a suitable breakthrough.
Even today, his secretary was watching videos in the office when she clicked on a trending music topic.
"What are you looking at?" Yan Chengyuan, already irritated, questioned.
The female secretary seemed oblivious to his emotions and enthusiastically introduced, "It's this band, they're really popular lately, especially the female guitarist, she's beautiful and talented."
Yan Chengyuan wasn't particularly interested at first, but when his gaze swept across his secretary's phone screen, he froze.
The woman holding the electric guitar looked so familiar.
He snatched the secretary's phone, zoomed in on the screen, and stared intently at that aloof face. Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind—Wen Hanyun.
Is it her?
The woman who broke off her engagement with Yanzhe a while ago? His former daughter-in-law?
Yan Chengyuan's heart pounded wildly. He never expected that the woman Yan Sheng cherished so much would be Wen Hanyun!
The annulment of the engagement caused quite a stir in the industry at the time, with everyone saying that the Wen family was not good enough for the Yan family.
But who would have thought that she would turn around and hook up with Yan Sheng?
The old man valued the Yan family's reputation above all else and never allowed such unethical things to happen in the family.
Wen Hanyun is Yan Zhe's ex-fiancée, and they broke up on bad terms. Now she's with Yan Sheng... If the old man finds out, he'll definitely be furious!
When the time comes, the old man will naturally deal with Yan Sheng without him even lifting a finger, and the Qin family's cooperation might fall through as a result, giving him his chance.
Yan Chengyuan became more and more excited as he thought about it, and immediately picked up his phone and dialed home.
"Hello, it's me. I have something important to tell my father. Is it convenient for you to let him take the call now?"
The butler on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, "Second Young Master, the Old Master is playing chess, I'm afraid... it's not convenient for him."
"This must be said now," Yan Chengyuan said anxiously. "Tell the old man that it's about Yan Sheng."
Seeing his resolute tone, the steward had no choice but to go to the study to inform him.
Not long after, a stern voice came through the phone: "What is it? Why are you in such a hurry to call me?"
"Dad," Yan Chengyuan immediately lowered his voice, "do you know who that woman Yansheng is dating now that we talked about last time is?"
Grandpa Yan did not answer, clearly disliking his cryptic way of speaking.
"It's Wen Hanyun! She's A Zhe's fiancée from back then!" Yan Chengyuan said, enunciating each word clearly. "That woman is Yan Zhe's ex-girlfriend, but now she's involved with Yan Sheng. If this gets out, where will our Yan family put our face?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Are you telling the truth?"
“Absolutely true!” Yan Chengyuan quickly assured him, “Her videos are all over the internet now, you can find them with a simple search.”
"Yansheng, for the sake of a woman, actually disregarded the family's reputation, what do you think..."
He thought the old man would get angry immediately, but to his surprise, the old man just said in a calm tone, "I understand."
Before Yan Chengyuan could continue arguing, the other end of the phone hung up abruptly.
He stood there, stunned, not understanding what the old man meant.
Logically speaking, the old man values these rules the most, so he should be angry when he hears about this. Why is he so calm?
Haven't they realized it yet?
Or is it that... the old man already knows about this, but is intentionally favoring Yansheng?
No, we can't just wait like this! Yan Chengyuan gritted his teeth and decided to go back to the old house himself.
He wants to clarify things face-to-face, and preferably provide solid evidence.
"Compile all the evidence of Wen Hanyun and Yan Zhe's engagement from back then, as well as the evidence of her current relationship with Yan Sheng, and send it to me. Once it's done, prepare a car for me; I need to go back now," Yan Chengyuan immediately instructed his secretary. "Also, contact my elder brother and have him come back to the old house with me."
The secretary dared not delay and quickly nodded and left.
Yan Chengyuan looked at Wen Hanyun's performance video on his phone, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
Yansheng, let's see how you turn things around this time!
Meanwhile, in the old house's study, Old Master Yan put down the chess pieces in his hand and glanced at the butler beside him.
The butler immediately understood and knelt down beside him.
"Old Hou, how did he find out?" Old Master Yan placed a piece on the board.
"Miss Wen's performance is so popular, it's impossible not to know about it." The butler handed over his phone, on which entries related to Wen Hanyun's band practically filled the front pages of major entertainment news outlets.
"So what do you think... should we do next?"
