If you were to ask Zhu Qianying to describe the taste of today's breakfast, all she could tell you would be: shocking!
However, before she could even recover from the shock, another giant "bomb" exploded down on her head.
After finishing breakfast and packing their things, the two stood together in the entryway to change their shoes.
"Uncle Hai, Ying'er and I won't be coming home for dinner today!"
As Yan Shao bent down to change his shoes, he instructed Uncle Hai, who was helping him carry his bag.
"Good!" Uncle Hai smiled as he looked at the young master who had finally figured it out, and responded with great swiftness.
Just as Yan Shao finished speaking with Uncle Hai, his phone rang in his bag. Uncle Hai took it out for him and handed it to him.
Zhu Qianying, who was also bending over to change her shoes, assumed it was a call from Qin Xiu or Ke Kai, since today was actually a busy normal workday for the young master Yan.
She was thinking that if he was really busy, they could postpone the trip for another day. Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, she heard Yan Shao's voice suddenly rise and become extremely tense.
"What? Okay, you wait here, I'm coming right now!"
When Zhu Qianying looked up, she saw Yan Shao's face change. He snatched the bag from Uncle Hai's hand, said nothing, and rushed out the door!
Zhu Qianying stared blankly at his figure as he quickly disappeared out the door. Although she didn't know why he had suddenly run away in such a hurry, she knew that her thoughtfulness was useless.
Because Yan Shao had already shown her through his actions that today's plans were ruined!
Yan Shao's expression changed drastically, and he left without even having a chance to explain anything to Zhu Qianying!
His voice, which could be described as terrified, and his pale face made her very uneasy. Her intuition told her that something terrible had happened!
Soon, without Zhu Qianying needing to inquire, the reason for Yan Shao's sudden departure that morning spread throughout L City.
It turns out that Yi Wei, the eldest daughter of the Yi family, the family that ranks first among the top ten richest families in L City, has been kidnapped!
The phone call that Yan Shao received this morning was from Yi Changxing, the head of the Yi family, who is also Yi Wei's father, asking Yan Shao for help!
Afterwards, in order to save the young lady, Yan Shao used a large amount of the Tong family's force. Everyone said that the kidnapper was either blind or naive, how could he dare to kidnap the young lady of the Yi family?
Everyone knows that Miss Yi is Young Master Yan's childhood sweetheart. Since childhood, Young Master Yan has protected and doted on her like his own younger sister!
Tying her up is tantamount to directly clashing and provoking the Yan and Tong families, isn't it?
It was at this moment that Zhu Qianying realized that the eldest daughter of the Yi family named Yi Wei was an extremely important and special person to Young Master Yan.
Zhu Qianying didn't actually try to find out, but even if she didn't ask or want to hear, the kidnapping case that shocked L City and even the whole country, along with the related gossip, still spread like snowflakes throughout the day, surging into her ears like a rising tide.
If you count them all, Zhu Qianying has lost count of how many versions of the story she has heard.
The stories she heard—or rather, the past events—were nothing more than the earth-shattering and tear-jerking tales of Yan Shao and Yi Wei.
It turns out that when you don't care about someone, you naturally assume that they are someone without a story.
But when you get closer, you realize that his stories are so numerous that you don't want to hear them!
Because in those stories, you are not the protagonist.
He wasn't even a supporting character; he was just a passerby standing by the roadside listening to stories.
The veracity of these widely circulated stories that she, as a mere passerby, heard remains to be investigated.
At first, she genuinely approached it with the mindset of a passerby, observing coldly as if she were truly listening to someone else's story.
But slowly, as I listened, I began to feel uncomfortable.
This discomfort stems from Young Master Yan.
She hadn't seen him for two days since he left in a hurry that morning. He hadn't even called her, nor sent her a single message.
She, the young mistress of the Yan family known as Yan Han's wife, gleaned all her information about his movements from the countless pieces of news that came her way.
However, Yan Bo and Madam Yan returned to the Yan family from Tongjia Village on the very day Young Master Yan left.
"Ying'er, don't worry, Xiao Han is fine!"
Madam Yan has repeated these words several times in the past two days.
Each time, Zhu Qianying would nod obediently, "Mom, I know!"
“Ying’er, Xiao Han and Xiao Wei grew up together since they were little. Xiao Han has always regarded Xiao Wei as his younger sister…” Clearly, Madam Yan was afraid that Zhu Qianying would overthink things.
Zhu Qianying understood what Madam Yan's words meant.
"Mom, I understand, I won't overthink it!"
For her, whether she overthinks or not, it's all meaningless.
Because Yan Shao had already shown her with facts that she didn't actually have the right to think wildly.
What is the relationship between Yan Shao and Yi Wei? What does it have to do with her?
To Yan Shao, Zhu Qianying was nothing more than a woman who bore the name of Yan Han's wife.
In his view, he probably didn't need to explain to her where he was going.
He didn't need to explain to her what he had done or why he had done it in the past two days!
On the morning of the third day, after receiving a phone call, Old Madam Yan told Zhu Qianying, Yan Bo, and Yi Wei that they had been rescued by Yan Han and a group of capable subordinates from the Tong family.
After sharing the good news, Madam Yan added some further details.
"Xiaohan will be back tonight after we finish dealing with things over there!"
"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying responded, lowered her head, and continued reading her book.
She was so glad that she had suddenly decided to buy these books that day; otherwise, she would have been so bored listening to other people's stories for the past two or three days!
However, by evening, Young Master Yan, who had claimed he would return home, was still nowhere to be seen.
During dinner, Madam Yan kept putting food on Zhu Qianying's plate, and then said cautiously.
"Ying'er, don't worry. This matter involves many things. Xiao Han probably still has some things to take care of. He'll come back once he's done."
Zhu Qianying smiled at her, "Mom, I know!", and then, as if nothing had happened, continued eating with her head down.
On the fourth day after Yan Shao left home, Zhu Qianying finally met the two protagonists who had been making headlines and generating more buzz than any of the top celebrities in recent days:
Yan Han, the eldest son of the Yan family, and another main character, Yi Wei, the eldest daughter of the Yi family.
It was on this day that Zhu Qianying realized that the unpredictable, unromantic, and gentle Young Master Yan she had always known was not his true self.
She thought he didn't understand gentleness, but it turned out he didn't.
He understands gentleness, but his gentleness is not meant for her!
