After thinking about it, Yan Han chuckled at his own sudden flusteredness, like that of a bratty kid.
Having passed the age of youthful impulsiveness, Yan Han had not been so restless and flustered in a long time.
Even five years ago, when he received a call from Yi Changxing saying that Yi Wei had been kidnapped and her fate was unknown, he was mostly angry, but he had never lost his rationality or the ability to think and analyze normally like this.
After calming down and confirming that Zhu Qianying was not in immediate danger, Yan Han decided to deal with the thugs who were threatening her safety first.
Putting aside whether Zhu Qianying should stay here, Yan Han's wife had her hand almost broken, and her house and car burned down. He couldn't let this go unpunished; in fact, he had to get it back double.
"Mr. Yan's matter is my matter. I have sent my men to investigate and will give Mr. Yan a satisfactory answer as soon as possible. Please rest assured."
With Jack's assurance, Yan Han was indeed somewhat relieved, but that didn't mean he could rest easy.
After saying goodbye to Jack, Yan Han went to see McGonagall. Although he had not yet received any definite news about Zhu Qianying's whereabouts from McGonagall, he did receive some news that made Yan Han equally excited.
That is, Zhu Qianying has had no shortage of suitors over the years, but she has remained single.
“However…” Before Yan Han could finish being happy, Mai Gao brought up a twist, “Her boss, Cheng Ye, is indeed a good man. Over the past few years, he has taken great care of her. According to the investigation, this Cheng Ye is not only extremely attentive and considerate to her, but also incredibly kind to her mother and her son. And many employees of Ying Jewelry have heard that they all assume Zhu-Ying is their boss’s wife.”
McGonagall's sudden turn was so captivating that it left Yan Han completely bewildered. After bidding farewell to McGonagall, Yan Han once again headed straight for Ying Jewelry's headquarters.
It was already noon, and the people at the reception desk seemed to be the same group as yesterday. As soon as Yan Han entered, he was told, "Sorry, our boss's wife is on vacation and hasn't returned yet."
Yan Han glanced at the other person with a cold face, "I'm looking for your boss!"
Her hands, which were in her coat pockets, tightened slightly. "Bullshit, boss lady?"
Before the other party could answer, Yan Han added, "Also, Zhu-Ying is indeed married, but her husband is me, not your boss!"
Having been there once before and knowing the way well, Yan Han went straight to Cheng Ye's office door. Although she was furious, she still remembered proper etiquette, stopped, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" The man's voice had barely faded when Yan Han pushed open the office door and entered.
"Mr. Cheng, we meet again!"
Cheng Ye, sitting behind his desk, looked at him calmly. It seemed that he had already received the notification from the reception office, so he showed no surprise whatsoever.
"Mr. Yan, I don't want to see you!" Cheng Ye said quite bluntly.
"Is that so? Does my appearance constantly remind you that the shadow is actually a married woman?"
Yan Han's words today were clearly tinged with bitterness.
Cheng Ye stood up noncommittally, walked around the desk and turned into the small meeting room next door, and Yan Han naturally followed.
Judging from his physique, Cheng Ye seemed to be shorter and thinner than Yan Han. But in terms of presence, he was never much weaker than Yan Han.
"Mr. Yan, the claim that Shadow is a married woman is, based on the information I have, just wishful thinking on your part."
Cheng Ye gestured for Yan Han to sit down. After Yan Han sat down, he turned around, took two cans of drinks from the refrigerator, and tossed one over.
Yan Han raised his hand and steadily caught the drink, then raised his eyebrows and stared straight at Cheng Ye.
"Mr. Cheng, would you like me to show you our marriage certificate?"
Cheng Ye smiled and said, "No need. I have no interest in that certificate that you, Mr. Yan, are using to deceive yourself."
As Cheng Ye spoke, he snapped open the can of beverage, brought the drink to his lips, but instead of drinking it, he looked at Yan Han and said.
"As far as I know, you and Shadow have been separated for more than five years. Shadow can dissolve the marriage with you through legal means at any time if he wants to."
Although Yan Han wasn't a legal professional, he still possessed this basic common sense. He understood that Cheng Ye was right, but how could he admit defeat in front of Cheng Ye?
“Mr. Cheng, didn’t you also say that as long as Yingzi wants to? Because she doesn’t want to, she is still my legal wife!” Yan Han said firmly.
Cheng Ye tilted his head back, took a sip of his drink, leaned back, and glanced sideways at Yan Han.
"Mr. Yan, you keep emphasizing to me that Shadow is your wife, but have you forgotten that marriage certificates and marital relationships can be dissolved through legal means? Only feelings cannot be dissolved at will. Tell me, do you and Shadow even have any feelings for each other?"
Yan Han was stunned for a moment, and his hand, which was loosely resting on his lap, trembled involuntarily.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he understood that Cheng Ye was telling the whole truth.
Apart from the marriage certificate that proved Zhu Qianying was his legal wife, and the marriage that he unilaterally believed in, upheld, and insisted on, there was indeed no affection between him and Zhu Qianying.
Of course, he definitely had feelings for Zhu Qianying; not only did he have feelings, but they were very deep.
He spent five years verifying this, so there is no doubt about it.
But what about Zhu Qianying's feelings for him?
Not only Cheng Ye, an outsider, firmly believed that she didn't have any feelings for him, but even he himself felt that she probably really didn't have any feelings for him at all.
Or perhaps it existed five years ago. But after his negligence and disregard, what existed was nipped in the bud. Even if it wasn't nipped in the bud, after five long years of erosion and wear, it would probably be completely gone!
“Mr. Cheng, of course there are feelings between me and Shadow. Otherwise, where would Zai Zai come from?”
Even though Cheng Ye's words had dealt a devastating blow, Yan Han stubbornly persisted.
Or, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's stubbornly continuing to deceive himself!
Cheng Ye maintained a smile throughout, as if Yan Han's words had no effect on his mind whatsoever.
"Mr. Yan, a child can be gained through actions, but feelings cannot be created through actions!"
Only at this moment did Yan Han have to admit that Cheng Ye was a formidable opponent.
A formidable enemy that he must be fully prepared for and deal with with all his might!
What Yan Han thought he could boast about, whether it was his marriage or his son, was all, in Cheng Ye's eyes, nothing but empty talk.
