Zhou Mo couldn't answer.
She just wanted things not to get so bad.
Of course, this can only be her wishful thinking.
***
Xinyue Hotel.
"Bang bang bang."
"Who is it?" Yan Yi's voice came.
Then the door opened.
Seeing Han Chen and Zhou Mo, Yan Yi was completely stunned.
"How... do you know me..."
"Why didn't you reply to my third brother's message? Do you know how worried he is?" Han Chen said angrily.
Yan Yi smiled gently and said, "We just had a quarrel."
"Arguing? Arguing so much that you didn't even answer your father's call? Arguing so much that you came all the way to Dongjiang?"
Seeing this, Yan Yi knew she could no longer hide it. She simply put away her smile and said coldly, "It seems like you all know everything."
Sure enough, Qi Tan was right.
She thought she could delay for a few more days, but now it seems that she is a little regretful that she didn't leave earlier.
"When will Han Chi come?" she asked.
"soon."
"How soon is soon? Tomorrow?"
"In an hour."
"..." Yan Yi was completely shocked.
Surprisingly, you can't even hold him back for a day?
She chuckled to herself, "He sent you to hold me back, didn't he? What about you? Whose connections did you find to find me? I remember that your Han family's groom, the one named Feng, is gone. What new forces have you cultivated?"
"There's no need to go to such great lengths to find you," Han Chen said. "We have our own ways. And...what did you do at Qi Yan's house? To see Qi Tan? You'd better tell the truth before my third brother gets here."
"And then?" Yan Yi turned around and walked into the house.
Han Chen and Zhou Mo looked at each other, not understanding what Yan Yi meant, but seeing that she had the door open, she probably wanted them to come in, so the two of them followed her in.
I thought Yan Yi meant that they were negotiating inside the house.
As a result, Yan Yi poured water for both of them, said nothing, walked to the window, and pushed open the glass window that was propped up from the outside.
A cold wind blew in, blowing up her hair and clothes.
She turned around, smiling, and leaned towards the window.
Her back was pressed against the open window, and she was standing on tiptoe.
This was a dangerous move because if she leaned back she would definitely fall out of the window.
Zhou Mo noticed her strange smile and was instantly frightened, "Don't--"
She called Yan Yi?.
Han Chen also saw what Yan Yi was going to do and was shocked.
"Don't, Sister Yi," Zhou Mo was caught off guard. Who could have thought that Yan Yi would be so decisive.
"Let's talk it out nicely," Zhou Mo looked at Yan Yi's expression and saw that he was clearly wary of Han Chen.
He quickly pushed Han Chen back a few times, making him stand farther away, and he took a few steps closer, but did not dare to get too close.
She thought that since she was a girl and she and Yan Yi had a good impression of each other during their previous interactions, she shouldn't feel threatened by Yan Yi.
Yan Yi smiled emotionlessly, his eyes sad and mournful.
"I'm so cold," she said.
"Why don't you close the windows? The temperature in Dongjiang in the spring is really not high, especially after the sun sets."
Yan Yi shook his head helplessly, "It's not my body that's cold, it's my heart that's cold."
"Sister Yi, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll accompany you." Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said, "To be honest... I guessed that you and Qi Tan... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to force you..."
"No need to apologize," Yan Yi said, "I know I can't hide it, and I never thought I could. In fact, I wanted to tell Han Chi a long time ago, but I didn't dare to say it. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because I'm afraid he'll do something to Qi Tan. I love Qi Tan and I want to protect him."
"You!" Han Chi was so angry when he heard the three words "Ai Qi Tan" come out of Yan Yi's mouth with his own ears.
"You can think whatever you want of me," Yan Yi said, "especially you, Han Chen. Han Chi is your brother, so you must always be on his side and fight for him. But you don't understand him, not at all. None of you five brothers can truly understand him. Understand what he wants, why he had to leave the imperial capital, why he had to take root in Shanghai. No one understands him. But I do."
"You understand him, why do you still do this?" Han Chen was anxious and angry.
Yan Yi didn't answer. Instead, she sneered and said slowly, "Love or not, there are always traces. I didn't understand what love was before. I simply thought that he loved me because he treated me well. Later, when I really fell in love with someone else, I realized that your third brother didn't love me at all. If Yan Jianshe's daughter was replaced by anyone else, Han Chi would still choose them, not Yan Yi." Her eyes flashed, and she asked Han Chen provocatively, "If Zhou Mo and Luo Fu were swapped, who do you think you would love? Do you dare to answer?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Han Chen said firmly, "I will only love Zhou Mo. No matter who she is, I only love Zhou Mo."
Zhou Mo turned around and looked at him deeply. She was moved by Han Chen's determination.
Yan Yi was noncommittal. "Look, you know that love and marriage are one and the same. You choose the one who will keep you faithful, not the power that person can bring you. But your third brother is different. He only loves Yan Jianshe's daughter. Do I need to say more about this?"
Her eyes were red, and her voice was filled with forbearance and a slight cry.
"But my third brother stayed in Shanghai for you and even rejected the marriage arranged by our family. He always gave in to whatever you asked for. Why... can't you be more understanding of him?"
"I sympathize with him? Who sympathizes with me?" Yan Yi's eyes turned red, and he was completely hysterical. "Han Chen, I know you and Han Chi are not the same kind of people. You always treat him as a brother and always side with him. So no matter what kind of prejudice you have against me, I won't argue with you over the years. Who is right and who is wrong between Han Chi and me? You can think whatever you want. I just hope... let me leave, okay? Let me go before he comes. I don't want to continue like this with him. Leaving is my only way out, please."
In order to escape from Han Chi, she seemed to have put aside all her self-esteem, and did not care about Han Chen's misunderstanding of her, nor did she care whether she had been wronged.
She just wanted to leave.
She longed to gain freedom through this.
Han Chen clenched his fists slightly.
He had nothing to say.
This matter, in the final analysis, is a matter between Yan Yi and Han Chi.
The most he could do was stand up for his third brother.
In the past, he thought that Yan Yi was being unreasonable and always asking his third brother for this and that.
First it was jewelry, clothes, and bags, and later it was cars and houses.
Han Chi basically responds to every request.
Until the Yan family took the house by the Huangling River...the price was simply beyond Han Chi's affordability.
If he really bought it, Han Chi would have to go through some special channels.
For example, getting to know a boss or something like that.
