Chapter 166: Chapter 166: His Tenderness is Not for Her (Prelude to Leaving)

If Zhu Qianying was asked to describe the taste of breakfast today, she could only tell you it was shocking!

However, before she could react to the shocking taste, another gigantic "bomb" dropped down on her abruptly.

Having finished their breakfast and prepared to leave, the two of them stood sid by side changing their shoes at the entrance hall.

"Uncle Hai, Today Ying’er and I won’t be coming back for dinner!"

While bending down to change his shoes, Young Master Yan instructed Uncle Hai, who was holding their bags in the back.

"Alright!" Uncle Hai smiled as he watched the Young Master finally come to senses and granted his request

As soon as Yan finished speaking to Uncle Hai, his phone - which was in the bag - rang. Uncle Hai took it out and handed it to him.

Both Zhu Qianying, who was still bent over changing her shoes, assumed it was Qin Xiu or Ke Kai calling. They had to, it was still a normal working day for the busy Eldest Yan.

She was thinking that if he was really busy, they could reschedule their plans. After all, she wasn’t in a hurry.

However, before she could say anything, she heard Young Master Yan raising his voice in an incredibly anxious manner.

"What? Alright, wait for me, I’ll come right away!"

By the time Zhu Qianying looked up, she saw Young Master Yan’s color drained face, snatching the bag from Uncle Hai’s hands. Without saying a word, he dashed out of the front door!

Zhu Qianying incredulously watched as his silhouette disappeared outside the front door. Even though she didn’t know why he took off so suddenly, she knew that her thoughtfulness would now be in vain.

Because Young Master Yan had already shown her with his actions that today’s schedule was ruined!

Young Master Yan, looking deathly pale, left without even managing to explain anything to Zhu Qianying!

His frightened voice and startled face made her uneasy, an intuition that something big had happened!

Soon enough, without Zhu Qianying intentionally divulging any details, the reason for Young Master Yan’s sudden departure in the morning spread throughout L City.

Turns out, the daughter of the Yi Family, ranked first in the top ten richest families in L City, Yi Wei, was kidnapped!

The phone call that Young Master Yan had answered in the morning was from Yi Changxing, the head of the Yi family and the father of Yi Wei, asking Young Master Yan for help!

Later, in order to rescue Miss Yi, Young Master Yan mobilized a large amount of force from the Tong Family. Most people said that the kidnapper either didn’t know or was blind to kidnap the daughter of the Yi family.

Everyone knew that Yi Wei, the daughter of the Yi Family, was Young Master Yan’s childhood sweetheart. From a young age, Young Master Yan has always been protective and caring of her!

By kidnapping her, isn’t this akin to directly provoking both the Yan and Tong families?

It was at this time that Zhu Qianying got to know that the Yi family pearl, Yi Wei, held a very important and special existence to Young Master Yan.

Zhu Qianying didn’t intentionally inquire about any of this. Despite this, the explosive news of this kidnapping case that rocked both L City and, even the whole nation, as well as the related rumors fell nonstop into her ears, much like snowflakes that fell incessantly within a day.

All together, Zhu Qianying has lost count of the number of versions of stories she has heard so far.

The stories told to her about Young Master Yan and Yi Wei were heart-wrenching tales.

As it happens, when you are not concerned with someone, you would naturally assume they lead an uneventful life.

But when you get really close, you discover that they have countless stories, so numerous that you would close your eyes and refuse to listen!

Because, you are not the protagonist in the stories.

Not even supporting roles, merely an onlooker on the side of the road.

For those numerous stories she’s heard as an onlooker, their authenticity remains to be verified.

At first, she had truly listened to stories with a bystander’s mindset but gradually, as she kept listening, she began to feel increasingly uncomfortable.

This discomfort originated from Eldest Master Yan.

Since his hurried departure that morning, she had not seen him for two days. She didn’t receive a single call or a single text.

All information about him was inferred by her from the information floating around in the air, as the wife of Yan Han in the Yan Family.

On the other hand, Yan Bo and the Old Lady from the Yan Family returned to the Yan family from Tong village on the day Yan had left.

"Ying’er, don’t worry too much, Xiao Han is alright!"

The old lady of Yan Family had repeated this many times in these two days.

Each time, Zhu Qianying obediently nodded in agreement, "Mom, I understand!"

"Ying’er, Xiao Han and Xiao Wei have grown up together since childhood. Xiao Han has always treated Xiao Wei like his own sister..." It was obvious that the old lady of Yan Family was worried about Zhu Qianying overthinking.

And Zhu Qianying, of course, knew what the old lady of Yan Family implied.

"Mom, I understand, I won’t overthink!"

For her, whether she overthinks or not, it was of no significance.

Because Young Master Yan had shown her with his actions that she had no right to overthink.

What was the relation between Young Master Yan and Yi Wei? What’s it to her?

To Young Master Yan, she, Zhu Qianying is nothing more than a woman who is in name the wife of Yan Han.

In his opinion, he does not have to explain his whereabouts to her.

Nor does he need to explain why he’s been doing what he has been doing for the past two days!

On the third day in the morning, the Old Lady of Yan Family received a phone call, informing Zhu Qianying and Yan Bo that Yi Wei, was rescued by Yan Han leading some capable people from the Tong Family.

After giving the good news, the Old Lady of Yan Family continued.

"Once he’s done dealing with things over there, Han will come back tonight!"

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying replied, lowering her head and continuing to read her book.

She was grateful that she had bought several books on a whim that day. Otherwise, just hearing other people’s stories without them would have been dreadfully boring!

However, by the time the night came around, Young Master Yan, who the old lady of Yan family had confidently stated would return, was still nowhere to be found.

While eating dinner, the Old Lady of Yan Family continuously served Zhu Qianying food and then cautiously added.

"Ying’er, don’t worry. There’s a lot involved in this matter, Xiao Han must still be sorting out some havoc. Once he finishes dealing with it, he’ll come back."

Zhu Qianying smiled at her, "Mom, I understand!", and then, she continued eating her meal with the aloofness of a person unconcerned with the unfolding events.

On the fourth day of Young Master Yan leaving home, Zhu Qianying finally met the two characters who, for the last few days, have been the talk of the town and even hotter topics than the most popular stars:

The Eldest Master of the Yan Family, Yan Han, and the other protagonist, the daughter of the Yi Family, Yi Wei.

It was also on this day that Zhu Qianying came to know that the inscrutable, clueless about romance and gentleness Eldest Master Yan she had known was not the real Young Master Yan.

She had assumed he knew nothing about being gentle, yet turns out he did.

He did know about tenderness, but it wasn’t reserved for her!
