Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Devoting oneself, how about it? (Ying Zi appears)

Ji Huan seemed utterly unsurprised to see Yan Han.

He welcomed him to sit, asking him for his drink preference. Yan Han replied that he’d like tea, so Ji Huan got up to make it.

"What do you want to ask about, the baby boy or Ying Zi?"

Ji Huan handed over the hot tea and went straight to the point.

Yan Han took the tea, cradling it in both hands, and sat straight-back on the sofa.

Honestly, he seldom adopted such a cautious posture.

In his thirty-three years of life, everything had gone smoothly until he turned twenty-eight. Despite the occasional storms, the odds of failure were virtually zero. Anything he wanted or dreamed of, as long as he worked hard, he could achieve.

However, the year he turned twenty-eight, there was an unexpected twist in his life.

This surprise had caused his mental trajectory to forever deviate from its former path.

Yet, even so, he managed to mask it well externally.

ZOutsiders knew nothing about his unhappiness, and even less would they know that his unhappiness stemmed from his exorbitantly-priced wife.

But he, who had long been in a high position, had become accustomed to addressing everything with a seemingly indifferent expression.

Therefore, he rarely revealed his confusion, hesitation, and even anxiety, as he did now.

Caught off guard by Ji Huan’s forthrightness, Yan Han paused before carefully considering his reply.

"Either would do, I want to know both."

The once spirited Young Master Yan seemed to have become a legend now.

Ji Huan too, picked up the cup and took a slow sip before seriously meeting Yan Han’s eyes.

"Forgive me, but I cannot provide you any information!"

Ji Huan had said this to Yan Han five years ago, but his attitude was vastly different now.

Back then, Ji Huan looked at Yan Han with the cold indifference of a stranger. He didn’t accuse Yan Han of anything but refused to communicate with him at all.

However, knowing now that his answer remained the same as it was five years ago, Yan Han wasn’t at all surprised — he had prepared himself for it. Plus, he recognized that although Ji Huan’s answer was the same, his tone and attitude had softened considerably.

Truthfully, he knew that he had no right to demand anything from Ji Huan. Hence, he no longer obsessed over Zhu Qianying’s whereabouts.

"Can you tell me whether Ying Zi...is she all right?"

At this moment, that was what Yan Han wanted to know the most.

As for her whereabouts, he would continue to spare no effort searching for her.

"She’s great!" Ji Huan responded swiftly.

Yan Han visibly relaxed, knowing that she was doing well brought some peace to his mind.

"Ji Huan, thank you!"

"Thank you" is a very common phrase that everyone uses daily, but to Yan Han, someone who held a high position and was highly egoistic, the word "thank you" was hardly ever found in his vocabulary.

However, in the past two days, he had thanked Ji Huan twice. Once for their son and another time for Zhu Qianying.

Ji Huan studied Yan Han seriously, "Brother Yan, no one can help you out with matters of emotions. So, you must press on!"

In a roundabout way, Ji Huan was explaining why his response to Yan Han was the same as it was five years ago.

If this was said five years ago, Yan Han might not have understood the deeper meaning behind Ji Huan’s words. But now, he felt the profoundity of those words more than anyone else.

"I understand!"

Afterwards, the topic of conversation between Yan Han and Ji Huan switched to the collaboration between the Ji Family and Yanhuang Group. Once they finished discussing work matters, Yan Han rose to leave without persistently pestering Ji Huan for Zhu Qianying’s whereabouts.

...

At this moment, in M country, more than ten thousand kilometers away from L City, at a newly popular brand’s jewelry design conference, an attractive and exceedingly young Asian woman appeared on the stage.

This woman was none other than the chief designer of the up-and-coming brand, Ying Jewelry — Zhu-Ying, who had been making a name for herself in the international jewelry world in recent years.

At this two-hour-long new product launch, the young chief designer Zhu-Ying introduced Ying Jewelry’s newly launched products in fluent English to the media and peers present. The new line included dozens of items from several major categories, such as yellow platinum, diamonds, jadeite, colored gems, and Hetian jade.

As predicted by Ying Jewelry’s general manager, Cheng Ye, the new series received consistent praise from the industry and colleagues. After the launch, Ying Jewelry received a considerable number of orders.

With Ying Jewelry’s reputation in the jewelry world on the rise, Zhu-Ying, acting as the brand’s chief designer, gained rapid popularity in the industry with her unique and innovative designs and her striking appearance.

And this young designer named Zhu-Ying was none other than Zhu Qianying, who had left a letter five years ago to resolutely divorce the Eldest Young Master Yan and disappeared. She was also the mother of their baby boy.

After the launch event concluded, Ying Jewelry left the relevant personnel to handle the aftermath. But Cheng Ye, the boss himself, personally drove Zhu Qianying back to the hotel for rest.

"Ying Zi, I told you not to worry. Those guys are just punks. They can’t possibly get into such high-profile places to make a scene!"

Cheng Ye glanced at Zhu Qianying, who had visibly relaxed and was now slumping in the seat, then laughed.

Zhu Qianying was indeed extremely drained at the moment; not because she had to face so many media and industry peers at the launch, but because she was afraid of those sinister people causing trouble.

Only after the launch was successfully concluded could she finally let go of her anxiety that had lasted for several days.

Sitting in the car at the moment, she bore no resemblance to the shrewd and sharp image she had projected during the launch. Dressed in a simple sweater and jeans, she looked utterly casual and carefree, resembling her university student days.

"Cheng, I wasn’t worried for myself. I was worried about the effort you’ve put in all these years being ruined by those punks. If that were to happen, how would I compensate you?"

The car stopped at a crosswalk. Cheng Ye squinted his attractive peach-blossom eyes and asked her, "If they did ruin my efforts, you’d repay me by giving yourself to me, how about that?"

The sunlight outside was a bit intense, so Zhu Qianying covered her eyes with her hand.

"Cheng, didn’t my baby boy already tell you? Ying Zi belongs solely to him. Other men want to compete with him?"

Zhu Qianying abruptly removed her hand and presented her right hand with her index finger lifted towards Cheng Ye. While making a ’no way’ gesture with her finger, she mimicked her son’s arrogant tone, "Hmph, no way!"

Cheng Ye was so amused by Zhu Qianying’s imitation of her son’s arrogant expression and words that he started cackling, resting his forehead on the steering wheel in laughter!

"Hahaha, Ying Zi, only that case of a brat Ji Zi could be so domineering. A smaller than four-year-old has scared me, a grown-over-one-meter-eight man, to the point of even daring not to confess."
