Yi Wei's indignant face inexplicably annoyed and disgusted Yan Han.
“Yi Wei, I know what kind of woman she is better than anyone else, and it’s none of your business to judge her! Besides, even if she really is only after my money, I have plenty of money, I can afford it! I’m willing, what’s it to you?”
Yan Han knew Zhu Qianying's attitude towards money, of course. To be honest, if Zhu Qianying was really just a woman who cared about money, as Yi Wei said, he wouldn't have such a headache.
Anyway, he has plenty of money!
The truth is, she loves money, but she only loves the money that is rightfully hers and belongs to her.
She never coveted any of other people's money.
For example, if she really was after money, she wouldn't have left all that stuff behind and left five years ago.
Even a fool would know that as long as she clung to Yan Han, she would never have to worry about food, clothing, or money for the rest of her life. Why go through all the trouble of escaping to the United States and starting all over again?
Yi Wei looked at him as if he were a monster. "Brother Han, was she drugged by you? How could you say something like that?"
Yan Han stood up. "Yi Wei, my affairs are none of your business, and you have no need to interfere. I have things to do, so you can leave!"
Yan Han's remaining patience with Yi Wei had been almost completely exhausted by those words he had just spoken.
If they continued talking, Yan Han might call security to forcibly take Yi Wei away.
Yi Wei seemed to know his temperament well. Seeing his icy expression, she knew that continuing the conversation would only anger him. After he told her to leave, she quickly stood up.
As she approached the door, she turned back to Yan Han and said, "Oh, by the way, it's my dad's birthday this Saturday, remember to come!"
Yan Han ignored her and buried himself in his own work.
After leaving his office, Yi Wei did not leave immediately, but instead went to Qin Xiu's office next door.
Qin Xiu heard the knocking, said "Come in," and looked up to see Yi Wei, quite surprised.
"Miss Yi, what brings you here? Isn't the master here?"
Over the past few years, Qin Xiu has been so bothered by this young lady from the Yi family that he has lost most of his hair.
He hadn't liked this Miss Yi much before, but now, he not only didn't like her, he practically hated her.
As for where this dislike comes from, it's probably because even though she's just a good friend of the master, she always acts like she's the master's rightful wife.
Clearly, the master's official wife is that girl Zhu Qianying, okay?!
Qin Xiu didn't know the true relationship between her and his master; in any case, he just didn't like her.
"Qin Xiu, where did Brother Han go on a business trip a few days ago? He's been back for two days now, but he doesn't seem to be in good spirits. Did he run into some trouble?"
Yi Wei never beats around the bush when talking to Qin Xiu. Perhaps it's because she's lazy, or perhaps she's used to being high and mighty and doesn't feel the need to be polite to Qin Xiu.
Qin Xiu replied to her with a composed demeanor, "Miss Yi, I'm not too sure where the master goes on business trips. After all, I'm just his special assistant, not his wife. The master doesn't need to report his whereabouts to me. As for whether he's in good spirits or not, I'm not his wife, so I can't concern myself with that!"
Qin Xiu repeatedly emphasized that she was not her master's wife, but in fact, she was implying to Yi Wei that she had said enough. It was none of her business where her master went on business trips or whether he was in good spirits or not. She was not his wife!
Yi Wei had just been in a bad mood because of Zhu Qianying's matter with Yan Han, and now that Qin Xiu mentioned Yan Han's wife, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Wife? Whose wife disappears after five years of marriage?"
Qin Xiu had already learned from Ke Kai that Zhu Qianying had returned. "Miss Yi, that's a private matter between my master and the boss's wife. We outsiders shouldn't interfere since we don't know the details!"
Yi Wei couldn't get any useful information from Qin Xiu, so she glared at him and turned to leave.
No sooner had Yi Wei left than Qin Xiu entered Yan Han's office carrying a stack of documents.
"Sir, can't you handle your own affairs with Miss Yi? Stop using me as a scapegoat every time, okay?"
It seems that my master always uses himself as a scapegoat when it comes to matters with women, whether it's with Yi Wei or with Zhu Qianying.
In the past, Qin Xiu always felt that every time he fought with that clever girl Zhu Qianying, he would lose a few years of his lifespan. But in recent years, every time he faced Yi Wei, he would think that he would rather face Zhu Qianying than Yi Wei.
"She came to see you?"
Yan Han took the documents from his hand and asked questions as he flipped through them.
"Yes, she asked you where you went on your business trip and why you didn't seem to be in good spirits when you came back!"
Yan Han hummed in agreement. "You told her?"
Qin Xiu raised his hands and swore, "Sir, I'm completely devoted to you, how could I tell her these things? I even told her that I'm not your wife, how would I know so much about you? Then she stormed off in a huff."
Yan Han hummed in response, and then fell silent.
Qin Xiu found it strange. Wasn't Zhu Qianying supposed to be back? Why did his master seem to be in a bad mood?
"Sir, when is Shadow free? Let's arrange to have a meal together. It's been five years since I've seen her. She must have grown into a beautiful young woman!"
Qin Xiu was only a few months younger than Yan Han, and in his eyes, Zhu Qianying had always been a little girl.
Yan Han finally raised his head this time, stared at him intently for a while, and then spoke.
"She's busy!"
Qin Xiu chuckled a few times, "I understand. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. You and Shadow have been apart for a few years, so you must be all lovey-dovey right now. I was so clueless. Let's make another date after you two have gotten through this honeymoon period!"
After Qin Xiu finished speaking without fear of death, he chuckled and took the signed document from Yan Han's hand, then turned and quickly slipped out.
Yan Han did want to be inseparable from Zhu Qianying, but the truth was that in the two or three days since she came back, even the one time he held hands with her was by force.
He also discovered something that really bothered him because of the issue of holding hands.
The wedding ring he gave her, really, he threw it into the sea?
This problem has been bothering him for the past two or three days. Every time he thinks about this possibility, he feels very discouraged and frustrated.
When he learned from McGowan in the United States that her romantic life had been completely empty for the past five years, he was actually very happy and proud.
He thought that she probably had never let go of him at all, which was why she hadn't had any other romantic relationships in the past five years.
But when he returned and met with her, after a heart-to-heart talk, he discovered that the reality was not what he had imagined.
Only then did he realize that he didn't seem to understand women very well.
Just as Zhu Qianying was like this, so too was Yi Wei.
