"Is that how it is? Does that mean I have absolutely no chance?"
Cheng Ye appeared quite depressed, but he tried his best to maintain his composure and rationality.
He never imagined that Zhu Qianying's trip back to China would lead to such a drastic development of events.
If he had known from the beginning that it would turn out this way, he would never have helped her send Zizai back to China. Or, if she had said she wanted to go back to China later, he would have kept her there no matter what, and would have refused to let her go even if it meant his death.
Wouldn't everything be different then?
However, there are no "what ifs" in life. Now that things have come to this, he no longer knows what to say or do.
"Cheng, I'm sorry!" Zhu Qianying stared at Cheng Ye, his sorrow, though he tried to suppress it, still overflowed from his face and eyes.
And I am the culprit behind all this sorrow and grief!
Zhu Qianying had said "I'm sorry" to Cheng Ye countless times. In the past, she was always filled with guilt, but this time, in addition to guilt, she also seemed extremely guilty.
Cheng Ye pinched his brow wearily, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a sip.
“Shadow, you have nothing to apologize for. Relationships are about mutual consent. I just regret that I didn’t realize my feelings for you when you and Yan Han were nothing. It wasn’t until you got married that I was shocked to discover that there was no love between Xiao Min and me.”
Cheng Ye, who should have been comforted, instead comforted Wan Zhu Qian Ying.
The Xiaomin that Cheng Ye was referring to was his ex-girlfriend.
Zhu Qianying remained silent. In this world, every day, too many people meet the right person at the wrong time.
She wasn't sure if she was the right one for Cheng Ye, but she was certain that Cheng Ye was definitely not the right one for her.
As for the person she's meant for, perhaps he doesn't even exist in this world. The Creator probably forgot that he only created one person, which is why she's so cold-blooded and incapable of feeling love for anyone.
"Cheng, is it really impossible for you and Sister Xiaomin to be together?"
Cheng Ye shook his head silently!
Once, Zhu Qianying envied Cheng Ye and his ex-girlfriend, but she never expected that the two would eventually break up.
And now, it seems that the reason for their breakup was still because of himself?
For a moment, Zhu Qianying felt even more guilty about this possibility, but then she heard Cheng Ye ask her a question.
"How is Zizai? Is he settling back into the country?"
When her son was mentioned, Zhu Qianying finally smiled and nodded to Cheng Ye.
"Yes, he's used to it very well. In addition, we've found a school for him, and we'll send him there after the Spring Festival."
Cheng Ye smiled and said, "That's great! So, you've decided to settle down in China?"
The blow Cheng Ye suffered today was considerable, but having been rejected for so many years, he was already mentally prepared.
Over the years, Zhu Qianying has received advances from more than just him.
But without exception, all those members of the opposite sex met the same fate as themselves.
As for myself, because I am her boss and friend, I am able to stay by her side.
He had considered that the reason she had been so resolute in rejecting men, including him, was because these men were not good enough.
Or perhaps, her heart still belongs to someone else?
He has never found the answers to these questions.
Today, these questions finally have definitive answers.
And it was only recently, when Yan Han came to confront him, that he learned that Yan Han and Zhu Qianying had never divorced!
At that time, he once thought that it was just a despicable means for Yan Han to defeat him.
Even today, when he saw the two of them walking out of the airport side by side, he still hoped that perhaps they had just bumped into each other by chance, or perhaps Yan Han was relentlessly pursuing Zhu Qianying.
But now, everything has settled down.
She said, "Yes, we've made up!"
She said, "I'm sorry!"
She and Yan Han have a new beginning.
His feelings for her have come to an end today!
"Yes! Zizai needs a complete family, and in China, Zizai and I will no longer be threatened!"
Even now, Zhu Qianying still feels lingering fear in her heart after all the intimidation and threats she had previously encountered. Little did she know that the troubles in Country M had been completely resolved by Yan Han not long ago.
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, and soon he realized that Yan Han had not told Zhu Qianying about the things he had done here a few days ago.
Was it because he didn't want her to worry? Or was there some other reason? Was that why he deliberately kept it from her?
Cheng Ye hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he didn't tell Zhu Qianying about Yan Han dealing with those thugs.
Zhu Qianying felt that the topic of herself and Zizai should end here.
She looked down and flipped through the documents. "Cheng, I can only stay for a week at most this time, so it would be best to resolve the new product issue within this week."
As he spoke, he handed the document he had just taken out to Cheng Ye.
She has already let him down emotionally.
At work, she didn't want to let him down again.
"Okay, I'll instruct them to cooperate with your progress as much as possible!" Cheng Ye was a responsible and good boss. He took the documents she handed him and began to study them carefully.
After watching for a while, Cheng Ye suddenly remembered something.
"Shadow, the design sketches of those ruby rings you sent me a couple of days ago, are you really not planning to promote and sell them? The marketing manager and I both agree that the style and concept of those rings will definitely be a hit if we promote them a little."
The pair of rings Cheng Ye mentioned were the 40th wedding anniversary rings designed by Zhu Qianying at the request of Madam Yan.
"Cheng, I'm sorry, those were a 40th wedding anniversary gift for Yan Han's parents. They can only be one-of-a-kind and cannot be promoted or sold."
Cheng Ye originally really liked the design of the rings, but after hearing what Zhu Qianying said, he gave up the idea of promoting them.
"Well, since it has special significance, I respect your decision."
In the conference room, Zhu Qianying and Cheng Ye were busy at work.
Yan Han, busy with his own things in Zhu Qianying's office, was equally busy.
During this time, his phone kept ringing, mostly from Qin Xiuke, Kai Ma, and Peng, who were either reporting or asking for instructions.
So engrossed in his work, Yan Han heard the landline ringing and assumed it was his office phone ringing. He reached out, picked up the receiver, and put it to his ear.
Hello!
On the other end of the phone, there was a soft breathing sound, a frequency that Yan Han found quite familiar.
"Is that you, Zizai? It's Daddy!"
