Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment. She didn't know that Yan Han had a lot of plans in mind. She only considered it from her own perspective and finally nodded.
"Okay, but there has to be a time limit."
Yan Han glanced at her sideways, thinking to himself, "If she dares to say a month, I'll strangle her!"
"the term?"
"Yes, there has to be a time limit! Look, when I buy a house, the property rights also have a time limit. We are human beings, so naturally we should be more humane. It's not unreasonable to have a time limit."
Zhu Qianying wasn't stupid. Although she didn't have anyone she liked, and probably wouldn't date or marry anyone in the future.
However, it is still inconvenient to always hold the title of the young mistress of the Yan family.
Most importantly, she didn't want to tolerate the strange and excessive demands that Young Master Yan made on a whim in the name of their marriage.
"Tell me, how long?" Yan Han stared at her, closely watching the changes in her facial expression.
Over the past two days, our conversations have been quite tumultuous.
After bumping into her a few times, Yan Han began to realize his mistake and subconsciously adjusted his attitude towards her.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had to face the reality that the Zhu Qianying in front of him was no longer the Zhu Qianying of the past.
Even though Zhu Qianying had many complaints about him, at most she would be a bit stubborn, but she would always assess the situation and make appropriate concessions before crossing his bottom line. Naturally, the two of them always ended up happily together.
But now, Zhu Qianying has the courage and determination to fight to the death.
Her unwavering courage and determination left Yan Han at a loss!
It was this sense of helplessness that forced him to try to understand her and adapt to her.
He had never had these thoughts five years ago.
At that time, he thought it was only natural for her to accommodate him.
But now, after realizing that everything has changed, he has to try to guess her thoughts from the changes in her expressions.
Just like how she used to try to guess his thoughts.
As he gazed at her with a probing look, Zhu Qianying met his gaze directly with her clear eyes.
After Yan Han took over the Yanhuang Group and the Tong family's businesses at the age of eighteen, as his personal abilities and the power he held grew stronger, fewer and fewer people, apart from his parents and elders, dared to look him in the eye.
Zhu Qianying, however, was one of these few people.
"One year! If we can't save this marriage within a year, then we will officially divorce after a year, and neither of us can drag the other out for any reason."
This was Zhu Qianying's reply after careful consideration.
Yan Han was very dissatisfied with the so-called one-year period. Originally, he had never thought about a time limit; he only wanted to keep dragging it out until the day she changed her mind.
But since she brought it up, it meant he could no longer ignore her opinion as he had before.
As it turns out, ignoring her opinions only made her more prickly.
Having realized this, Yan Han, though reluctant, finally nodded.
"Okay, one year it is!"
Of course, he was also confident that he could win her back within a year!
Seeing that he had finally agreed, Zhu Qianying said again.
"I want to emphasize that I cannot tolerate infidelity during marriage. Therefore, this year, both of us must be loyal to each other. If one of us cheats, the other can immediately file for divorce. In addition, neither of us can demand that the other fulfill marital obligations in the name of being husband and wife. In short, this year, we are only husband and wife in name only."
Yan Han had no objection to the previous part. She had been gone for five years and he had never betrayed her. Now that she was back with their son, what reason did he have to betray her?
But he had some reservations about the latter part.
The person is right in front of you, but you still can't eat?
For the past few years, he has been unable to see or touch the person in front of him.
Now, he can see the person, but he still can't touch or eat them!
It seems that this current torment is even more unbearable than the torment of waiting over the past five years.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhu Qianying was secretly delighted.
For a man, to only look and not eat is like taking his life.
Just when Zhu Qianying thought Yan Han was going to reject her particularly emphasized condition, Yan Han nodded again.
"Can!"
Zhu Qianying was somewhat taken aback, but since he said it was possible, it meant she had achieved her goal, and she didn't bother to investigate anything else.
"Young Master Yan, once a man has made his word, it is hard to chase him!"
“Of course!” Yan Han nodded solemnly.
The matter was resolved peacefully, and Zhu Qianying was in a good mood. She got up and went to the kitchen to wash fruit.
Yan Shao's request truly surprised her. To this day, she still can't understand what the point is of Yan Shao clinging to this marriage in name only.
What exactly happened between Young Master Yan and Miss Yi over the past five years?
Five years ago, she so generously gave up the position of Mrs. Yan, wouldn't the two of them be able to live happily ever after?
Why is it that in these five years, not only has Yan Shao not dissolved his marriage with her, but he has also repeatedly claimed that he and Yi Wei are just good friends?
Could it be that Young Master Yan has always been unable to obtain Yi Wei's affections?
So, Yan Shao had no choice but to use himself to provoke Yi Wei?
Although this reason is a bit absurd, after all, Yan Shao is such a proud person, would he really need to use such means to pursue a relationship?
But apart from that, Zhu Qianying couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.
A moment later, Zhu Qianying, who was munching on an apple, jokingly probed, "Young Master Yan, if you find someone you like within a year, we can get a divorce immediately."
“That’s impossible!” Yan Han answered decisively.
Zhu Qianying smiled noncommittally, then heard Yan Han say, "Don't even think about it!"
It took Zhu Qianying a while to understand what he meant by "don't think about it".
...
Zhu Qianying and Yan Han reached a consensus on Zizai's matter. Two days later, Zhu Qianying came out of the jewelry store and went to Yan's house to pick up Zizai and take some of his belongings home.
Madam Yan and Yan Bo promised that whatever decision Zhu Qianying made, they would respect and support it.
So, when Zhu Qianying said she would pick up Zizai in the afternoon, even though she was reluctant, Madam Yan still helped pack Zizai's things and reluctantly sent her grandson into Zhu Qianying's car.
Zhu Qianying drove Zizai away from the Yan family. Not long after the car left the Yan family, Yan Han called.
"Ying'er, where are you and Zizai?"
Clearly, Yan Han knew that the mother and son had left the Yan family.
"We just turned onto the overpass!" Zhu Qianying answered truthfully.
"Let's get off at the next intersection and take Zizai to the school."
