"Oh, I see!"
Zhu Qianying used a tone of sudden realization, but her expression told a completely different story.
Moreover, after she "suddenly realized" something, she exchanged a silent glance with him. Seeing that he had no intention of continuing, she lowered her head again and went back to studying her embroidery as if nothing had happened.
Yan Han was speechless, not quite understanding what her reaction meant!
Do you care?
Or is it that you don't care?
Yan Han waited a while longer, and seeing that Zhu Qianying still had no intention of asking him anything, he asked somewhat petulantly, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Zhu Qianying looked up at him again, giving him a strange look. "No! Is there anything I want to ask you?"
At first, she was genuinely curious about the origin of those two scarves. But when she learned that they were a gift from Yan Han to Yi Wei, she no longer wanted to know.
She didn't want Yi Wei to think that she had to have the same thing as Yi Wei.
She never had such a masochistic hobby!
"Really not?" Yan Han asked again in a muffled voice.
Zhu Qianying really didn't have anything to ask, but judging from Young Master Yan's expression, it seemed like he would devour her if she didn't ask him a question.
Zhu Qianying racked her brains, trying to think of a solution, and finally blurted out, "Is Yi Wei pretty?"
Five years ago, she met Yi Wei once at the hospital.
However, at that time, Yi Wei's face was swollen like a pig's head. She was not pretty at all, and could even be described as terrifying enough to give people nightmares.
To be honest, after she went abroad, she had several nightmares in which Yi Wei's face, swollen like a pig's head, appeared. In the dream, this pig's head was a bloodthirsty demon king who ruthlessly tried to kill her.
She never told anyone about these dreams.
After all, that kind of dream carries a hint of schadenfreude, or perhaps it's a sense of displaced anger!
Even though he already knew that Zhu Qianying was an unpredictable person, Yan Han still frowned slightly when he heard her question. What kind of question was this?
Because things were not going as he had imagined, he reached out somewhat irritably, gently lifted her chin, and then carefully examined her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
"to be honest?"
Zhu Qianying met his eyes and noticed the comparison and scrutiny in them.
I immediately cursed in my mind. I asked if Yi Wei was pretty, not whether she was prettier or I was!
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Whatever, but after you're done, you'd better tell me whether you're telling the truth or a lie!"
Yan Han gave her another deep look, and indeed, he seriously compared Zhu Qianying with Yi Wei.
"If you look at your individual facial features, she's prettier than you! But put together, you're prettier, more attractive, and have more charisma than her!"
Hearing this series of "compared to her" made Zhu Qianying feel extremely comfortable. It turned out that she was just a vain woman after all!
"Alright, alright, I understand! You don't need to tell me whether it's the truth or a lie!"
Even if it was fake, she accepted it!
Thinking this, Zhu Qianying tried to shake off the finger that Yan Han was using to lift her chin.
But Yan Han's fingers were as if they were coated with superglue, firmly stuck to her chin.
She had no choice but to tilt her head slightly to meet Yan Han's dark, bright eyes.
"truth!"
Yanhan said so!
Zhu Qianying blinked and smiled, "Yes, thank you!"
She'll just take this as a consolation prize!
Her radiant smile, as beautiful as a summer flower, momentarily stunned Yan Han.
Her eyes, like two glistening dewdrops in the morning light, were clear and bright.
He thought that mentioning Yi Wei would cause some emotional fluctuation in her.
But as it turns out, whether it was the previous times or this time, her emotions remained as calm as usual, as still as a tranquil lake.
Whether it's Yi Wei or him, to her, they're not even worthy of being called small stones.
Or perhaps, it was just a tiny speck of dust that he flicked away with all his might, yet it gently drifted onto the lake of her heart, without even causing the slightest ripple.
A sense of powerlessness welled up again!
"Ying'er, tell me the truth too!"
A strange thought flashed through Yan Han's mind, and his heart immediately clenched.
"Um……"
Zhu Qianying didn't know what he wanted to ask, but she felt that she was completely open and honest with him, and it seemed that she had no secrets left.
"Have you... fallen for someone else?" Yan Han finally managed to ask the question after a great deal of effort.
If she hadn't fallen for someone else, how could she have been so cold towards me?!
Even five years ago, when she had just passed the selection, she was much more enthusiastic about him than she is now!
Zhu Qianying was caught off guard by the question and burst into laughter as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Yan Han, however, grew increasingly nervous amidst her unrestrained laughter.
It took her a lot of effort to stop laughing.
Seeing Yan Han's unusually tense face, Zhu Qianying felt inexplicably relieved for some reason.
"Yes, I have indeed fallen for someone else!"
The light in Yan Han's eyes dimmed noticeably.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Zhu Qianying speak again.
"No, that's not right. Saying I like someone isn't accurate. It should be said that I've fallen in love with someone else!"
Yan Han's face instantly turned as cold as his name, with waves of chill rising from his eyes.
"Who is that person?" Yan Han stared intently at her, his voice dry and hoarse, like the yellow sand swirling in the desert.
Zhu Qianying struggled to suppress her laughter, feeling as if Yan Han was about to stare a hole through her face. Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into unrestrained laughter once again.
After she finished laughing, Yan Han's face was so dark it was unbearable to look at.
"Haha, you know that person too!"
Zhu Qianying couldn't stop laughing, and said while laughing.
Yan Han desperately wanted to clutch his burning heart, but he couldn't bring himself to do something so pathetic, so he could only keep a straight face.
"Who? Xing Bailun? Qi Xiao? Or perhaps, Cheng Ye?"
Yan Han's voice is more than just dry.
Zhu Qianying smiled, tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Let me think, what's his name?"
Yan Han's eyes could practically spit fire. If someone were to light a fire in front of him right now, he'd be guaranteed to have two flames bursting from his eyes.
"You don't even know his name, and you're sure you've fallen in love with him?"
Yan Han never imagined that he would lose to someone whose name he didn't even know.
Zhu Qianying's smile grew even brighter. "Yes! Ah... I remember now, his daddy seemed to have said that his name is..."
