Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Wanting too much, too much

Now, speaking of Ke Kai, whom Zhu Qianying had led on the entire way yesterday, he didn’t realize that he had lost her until following her car to the Ji Family Building and seeing the driver get out of the car.

Ke Kai was not too worried, thankfully. His grandfather was on the return flight from M-country at the moment, so he still had a bit of time to track down Zhu Qianying’s whereabouts.

Yet, he soon realized that Zhu Qianying most likely wasn’t actually intending to hide, she merely wanted to toy with them.

Because Ke Kai quickly tracked through the surveillance footage of Ji’s young master’s car and saw Zhu Qianying getting off the car not long after leaving the coffee shop, then hailing a taxi to an apartment building.

Upon researching, he found out that Ying Jewelry’s staff housing was indeed located in this apartment building.

At this point, Ke Kai’s mind finally came to rest.

If he had indeed lost her this time, would his grandfather not stop till he stripped him and hung him up in front of Tong Village for everyone to see?

The mere thought of that possibility gave Ke Kai the shivers.

Ke Kai, wanting to avoid such unbearable scenes from becoming reality, called in over a dozen people to keep an eye on all the exits of the apartment building overnight, closely monitoring every move his young wife made.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Qianying left the apartment building early in the morning, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were secretly tracking her every move. Not long after she entered the boutique, the flight Yan Han was on landed at L City’s International Airport.

As soon as he got off the plane, Yan Han received a series of messages from Ke Kai, detailing Zhu Qianying’s whereabouts from last night up to a few minutes ago.

Yan Han didn’t have time to question why Zhu Qianying was living in Ying Jewelry’s staff housing instead of her own home.

As long as she was back, that was all that mattered!

Everything else could be managed eventually!

Yan Han, tired from his journey and standing outside the boutique, hesitated for a moment but eventually didn’t lift the curtain and go in.

Instead, he stood outside the boutique’s floor-to-ceiling glass panel. His gaze went past all the weird trinkets and landed on her—the woman sitting in the corner deeply engrossed in something.

After receiving the phone call from Zhang Zi, his emotions were extraordinarily elevated.

The uncontrollable joy mixed with fierce anger, and these two extreme emotions hit him hard.

Fortunately, he had the long flight journey to cool down and balance out his emotions and thoughts.

So, even though he had been searching for her desperately for five years, when he finally saw her, he was able to suppress his urge to see her, hug her, and kiss her. Instead, he just stood outside, quietly watching her.

His gaze, at first, was filled with greed and urgency.

Her side profile looked just like it used to—clean-cut with no extra fat, her skin still flawless and soft. The sunlight seeping through the glass display case made the tiny hairs on her face glisten softly.

At that moment, the distance between them was neither too close nor too far, and there was a glass layer in between. Yet, he felt like he could hear her subtle breathing, rhythmically resonating in his ear as her nostrils slightly flared.

Just like those warm nights after their passion had died down, when he would hold her tightly and she would rest her head lightly on his arm and sleep, resulting in soft rhythmic breathing.

The desire and urgency in his eyes gradually intensified. He wanted to touch her rounded earlobe, a particularly sensitive spot where even a light touch would cause her soft body to shudder subtly.

He wanted to kiss her beautiful eyebrows. When she was upset, her brows would furrow slightly, and when she was happy, they would relax, revealing joy in her eyes.

He wanted her to be completely his as before—to get angry and laugh at him, to be moody and play tricks on him...

He also wanted...

There were endless things he wanted!

So many that, perhaps, he wanted to possess each and every hair strand and pore on her body.

For a moment, he was about to lift the curtain and barge into the boutique, drag her back into his car, and fulfill all the yearning and desires that had accumulated over the last five years on her body.

However, just as he was about to step forward, she suddenly reached out, took a chubby ceramic doll from the shelf filled with trinkets, and with a tender look in her eyes, he watched her lean in and softly peck the doll’s chubby little face with a kiss.

It felt as if a cool breeze was wafting around him, slowly diffusing the heated chaos in Yan Han.

The desire and longing in his eyes gradually receded, leaving behind only peace and gentleness.

Only then did he realize that there was something peculiar about her that could cleanse his emotions. He was merely standing outside the glass panel, watching her in silence, yet all the vulgar thoughts that were previously plaguing his mind had silently vanished without his realization.

At that moment, he just wanted to keep watching her silently, because the Zhu Qianying he saw then was one he had never met before.

Perhaps the real Zhu Qianying was this version of her—the one he had never known before.

Watching her put one trinket after another into the basket, Yan Han wondered, what was going on in her mind? Was she thinking about the craftspeople who made these trinkets? Or was she reflecting on the local customs and culture where these trinkets came from?

Also, has there ever been a time when she, through certain things, thought of him?

Realizing that he was comparing himself to a pile of trinkets worth a few yuan, Yan Han felt regretful.

Then, after regret came a deep sense of defeat.

Because he couldn’t think of a way she could be reminded of him!

In the end, he finally thought of one treasure that could continuously remind her of him— their precious son!

Maybe, when she looks at their son, she’d think of him, right?

After all, he and their son look so alike!

The feelings of defeat and irritation finally slightly subsided.

Then he saw her carrying the basket full of trinkets to the cashier. The boss lady behind the counter seemed quite familiar with her. She handed her a glass of water, and they shared a laugh. Then she lifted her head and drained the glass in one gulp.

Seeing her still as bold and brash as before, he could almost clearly hear the gulping sounds she made while drinking the water. Yan Han wanted to frown, but instead, his lips gently lifted into a soft smile.

Watching her pay and leave with a bag full of trinkets, he suddenly realized that his hand, which had been loosely tucked in his coat pocket, was soaked in sweat.
