When he heard her say that she really wanted to kill him, Yan Han realized that he had hurt her far more deeply than he had thought.
Because she probably realized earlier than he did that she had actually fallen in love with him.
However, that love is now a thing of the past.
When he thought he didn't need to explain himself to her and that she had no right to interfere with him, his love was gradually extinguished.
When she decided to leave, it meant that she had no love left for him!
"Ying'er, I'm sorry!"
Yan Han has rarely said sorry to anyone in his life, but when it comes to Zhu Qianying, he feels that no amount of words can make up for the guilt and regret in his heart.
However, when he was mentally prepared to hear a barrage of accusations and insults from her, all he heard was her long sigh.
"Phew... Forget it, it happened so long ago, why bother apologizing? Anyway, it's all in the past! There's no point in talking about it now!"
Zhu Qianying pouted slightly and exhaled, indeed looking relaxed, as if she had truly let go.
Only Yan Han himself, for the past five years, has been thinking about finding her and trying to win her back, unaware that five years ago, he had already pushed her into another world that he could not enter.
“Ying’er…”
Yan Han knew that he had no right to ask for forgiveness or reconciliation.
Even with his thick skin, he understood that when someone is hurt to that extent, it's not something that can be erased with a simple forgiveness and a fresh start.
"Young Master Yan, I know you're very good to Zizai and very good to me, but that's enough. Any more than that, I can't take it!"
Although Zhu Qianying initially told herself that Yan Shaofei was dragging her along and refusing to divorce him, it was only to provoke Yi Wei.
But she wasn't stupid. All this time, Yan Shao's kindness to her was genuine.
This is fundamentally different from the capricious, unpredictable treatment she received five years ago—treating her well when she was in a good mood and dismissing her at will when she was in a bad mood.
However, how much of this good situation is due to the existence of our precious son, Zai Zai?
How much of it was just a momentary impulse?
Zhu Qianying didn't want to speculate about these things. After all, one time was enough of the pain she felt five years ago, and she didn't want to go through it again.
In her view, love, on the outside, looks glamorous and attracts people to rush into it. But once you step in, you find that it is a terrible pit full of hidden dangers. Once you fall in, you are in danger of being crushed to pieces at any time. However, if you want to turn back, it is too late to stop.
Her direct and blunt refusal left Yan Han silent for a long, long time. Finally, he asked with a serious expression.
"Ying'er, our one-year wedding agreement still stands, right?"
Zhu Qianying nodded, "Yes, it counts!"
Yan Han couldn't quite remember how he got back to the Yanhuang Group. After the trial by Judge Zhu Da and the verdict that upheld the original sentence, he had been in a daze ever since.
Fortunately, the car was driven by a driver, so he was able to return to Yanhuang Group safely.
Qin Xiu was startled when he saw his master's terrifyingly disoriented appearance. "Master, what happened to Shadow?"
Besides, he couldn't think of anyone else with such power to make his boss so distraught.
However, didn't the boss say last night that Shadow only had a fever and was fine, and could be discharged this morning? Surely he won't suddenly develop some serious illness, right?
"She's alright!" Young Master Yan rubbed his temples, trying to concentrate.
"Then... are you feeling unwell, sir?"
No matter how Qin Xiu looked at it, he felt that his master was not quite normal.
"I'm fine..."
Yan Shao flipped through the files Qin Xiu had piled up in front of him. "You can leave now. I'll call you if I need anything!"
At this moment, Yan Shao just wanted to be alone and have some peace and quiet.
It's rare to see the master acting so strangely; how could Qin Xiu dare to just abandon him?
"Master, you don't look like you're alright!" Qin Xiu was like an annoying fly, lingering around Young Master Yan.
Yan Shao raised his eyelids, glared at Qin Xiu with extreme impatience, and said in a harsh voice, "So, what do you think I have to do with?
Qin Xiu looked at him closely for a few moments. "Did you argue with Shadow again?"
Based on the all-knowing assistant's understanding of Young Master Yan, his current state is definitely related to Shadow.
"..."
Yan Shao's silence was taken as tacit agreement by Qin Xiu.
"Sir, my wife and I also have small arguments every three days and big fights every seven days, but we're still fine. A man should be able to stand tall and proud outside, and know how to be humble and submissive at home."
While trying to persuade him, Qin Xiu carefully observed Yan Shao's expression. Seeing that he remained silent and his face showed little change in emotion, Qin Xiu probed again.
"You wouldn't be using the same tactics you use against us at the company, would you?"
Yan Shao didn't look at him, but said, "Qin Xiu, Yingzi is not your wife. She is much more reasonable than your wife and won't quarrel with you every three days or make a big fuss every seven days like your wife."
Qin Xiu's words were completely off-topic, especially when he compared Yingzi to his increasingly fiery wife, which made Yan Shao very unhappy.
Qin Xiu, however, thought he had guessed correctly and secretly rolled his eyes.
Thinking to himself, that's only natural. If the shadow wasn't reasonable enough, those Miss Yi would have acted like an empress inspecting the country every few days these past few years. Anyone would have found that unbearable and would have caused chaos. How could things be as peaceful and harmonious as they are now?
"That's why I've always told Kai, 'You really don't know how lucky you are!'"
In matters of the heart, Qin Xiu and Ke Kai have always sided with Zhu Qianying.
Thinking that such words would enrage Young Master Yan, to everyone's surprise, Young Master Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed unaware of my good fortune!"
Qin Xiu was stunned for a moment. Seeing that his master had admitted it so readily, he couldn't help but feel indignant on Zhu Qianying's behalf.
"Sir, please don't take offense, but sometimes I really can't understand what's so great about that Miss Yi?"
In the past, this Miss Yi was a taboo topic for Young Master Yan.
Later, she was kidnapped during Yan Shao's wedding. To save her, Yan Shao mobilized a large number of people from the Tong family, and they practically turned L City upside down.
Miss Yi was rescued in just two days, but a few days later, news spread that Zhu Qianying had gone abroad to study...
