Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Her Temperament is Exactly Like Hers

Yan Bo tried his best to break the news that infuriated his wife every time it was mentioned, in the calmest tone possible.

The back of Old Lady Yan, who was standing with her back towards him, stiffened noticeably.

Five years ago, Ying’er suddenly disappeared. According to his son, Zhu Qianying was still young and he had sent her abroad to study further.

However, would Old Lady Yan believe her son’s words?

Then, she secretly pulled many strings with the intent to look into Zhu Qianying’s whereabouts, but no matter how much she investigated, the last recorded movement and whereabouts of Zhu Qianying were related to her return from R City to L City with Chen Jing.

After that, Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing seemed to have vanished from this world - There has not been any news for five years!

Old Lady Yan suspected that whether Zhu Qianying and her daughter could have met with an accident, but her son stubbornly insisted, saying that Zhu Qianying had gone abroad to study. As for where she had gone, he steadfastly refused to disclose.

Old Lady Yan went to pitch this question to the crying girl Zhu Qianyu who broke into tears at the sight of her. She sobbed about her mother and sister going missing and pleaded with Old Lady Yan to help find them.

In reality, after Old Lady Yan pieced everything together, she guessed that it was her son’s callousness that pushed Zhu Qianyu away. Unsurprisingly, her son did not admit to it. Moreover, in this matter, she felt that she should also bear a significant amount of responsibility!

Thus, aside from blaming her son over these years, she despised herself too!

If initially she hadn’t agreed to help look after Yi Wei for Yi Changxing, perhaps, Ying’er wouldn’t have left in anger.

Or else, if she could have been more prudent when Ying’er came back to retrieve her belongings, then Ying’er probably wouldn’t have been able to leave with such decisiveness and ease.

Remembering the past, Old Lady Yan once again dived into the self-blame that she’d berated herself with countless times.

What Old Lady Yan didn’t know was that while her son stubbornly refused to admit it, he had secretly been searching for Zhu Qianying. This pursuit had been ongoing since five years ago and until now, he has never stopped.

At this moment, Yan Han, who had just been confirmed to be a father, was sitting by the bed, staring blankly at the little boy who was sleeping soundly on it.

Many wanted their children to resemble them, but at this moment, Yan Han hoped that his son could resemble Zhu Qianying a bit, then perhaps, he could glimpse a trace of Zhu Qianying’s shadow on the little boy’s face.

However, he had been staring at the little boy’s face for over half an hour and had failed to find any resemblance to Zhu Qianying on his cute and handsome little face.

On the contrary, the moment he cursed himself as a bastard when he was not asleep, his expression and tone of speech were strikingly similar to Zhu Qianying.

After all, he was the child that she’d given birth to and raised painstakingly!

Her temperament, her personality, were exactly like hers!

The little boy sleeping soundly under the blanket was utterly oblivious to his father’s complicated feelings, and was sleeping very deeply with his mouth half-open.

Yan Han’s gaze stayed on the little boy’s face for a long time, and the more he looked at him, the more miraculous it seemed!

The more he looked at him, the more amazed and surprised he was!

In the past, he fantasized about having his own children.

Of course, that thought was conceived only after he married Zhu Qianying.

However, after her departure, he completely squashed that thought. He was very clear in his heart that unless he found her, he would refuse to have children with anyone else.

It’s just that, she’s truly capable of hiding! From the day he saw the letter she left behind, he had arranged for many people to secretly look for her, but five years have passed and he couldn’t find a trace of her.

It seemed as though Zhu Qianying and Chen Jing disappeared into thin air overnight.

Remembering this, waves of restlessness welled up in Yan Han’s heart. He stood up, took a cigar, and went out to the balcony to light it.

Halfway through his cigar, he received a call from Qin Xiu.

"Sir, there are a few big boxes of the young master’s luggage here. I’ll bring them over to you now."

Yan Han was indifferent to the matter of the luggage, what he cared more about was Zhu Qianying’s whereabouts, or any possible leads that could be found.

"What about the rest? Did you ask anything?"

Yan Han frowned, took a deep puff of his cigar. The spicy taste lingered in his mouth and throat. His heart felt as though it was thrown into a hot frying pan, frying and sizzling, it was very torturous!

"He said that he’s only in charge of delivery and that he knows nothing about anything else."

Qin Xiu’s answer was, in fact, expected by Yan Han.

Yet despite this, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

"Hmm, keep an eye on him."

"Sir, I just checked. He indeed works for Star Treasure Express and has been working there for two years. The parcel for the young master was received in D City and the package was picked up today at 1:30 in the morning!"

No wonder the little boy was so tired, and slept like a log as soon as he got in the car. So, he had been up and about since the early morning?

"Look into it!" Yan Han emphatically quenched his cigar in the ashtray.

Returning to the bedroom, Yan Han made a point of rinsing his mouth in the bathroom before he returned to the bedside.

Although the little boy was sleeping peacefully when Yan Han watched him, he hadn’t been gone for more than few minutes when the little boy rolled out of the blanket, buried his face down into it, and sprawled out on it as though it were a large character.

It seems like he is also very much like his mother, a restless spirit!

Yan Han shook his head in resignation, then bent over to grip the little boy off the blanket and stuffed him back inside. He gently touched the small face, then got up and left the bedroom to go downstairs.

At this time, Uncle Hai was directing the servants in some busy work. Seeing Yan Han coming down, he quickly went up to him.

"What are you doing?" Yan Han frowned slightly and scanned the cluttered living room. If his son were to wake up and see this mess and throw a tantrum about not liking it, what would he do?

"Young Master, the young master is still young and often runs around. It’s easy for him to bump or stumble. I let them pad some of the furniture and corners with sponge ... "Though it was the end of the year, Uncle Hai was sweating profusely.

At this point Young Master Yan relaxed his scrunched-up eyebrow. "Stop it, replace them all!"

Uncle Hai was somewhat confused for a moment, "Replace them?"

This furniture was all tailor-made according to the preference of the young master, and now he wants to replace it just like that?

"Yes, change them all. When the little fella wakes up, I’ll take him to the furniture centre and let him pick whatever he likes."

Having passed on these instructions, Yan Han addressed Uncle Hai again, "You go and find out what children like to eat, and prepare some food for the little one!"

Uncle Hai replied, and hurried towards the kitchen.

Yan Han, while his little one was still asleep, based on the information provided by Qin Xiu, made a call to the boss of Star Treasure Express in D City in order to get some valuable information from there.

The boss had met Yan Han at a few cocktail parties in the past. When the latter explained the situation, he hastily responded, "Don’t worry Yan, I’ll find out for you immediately."
