Chapter 227: Chapter 227: I’m willing, what’s it to you?

Yi Wei’s righteous and indignant face made Yan Han inexplicably annoyed and disgusted.

"Yi Wei, I know better than anyone what kind of woman she is, I don’t need you to gossip about it! Besides, even if she was just after my money, I have plenty of it, I can afford it! I’m willing to, why should it matter to you?"

Yan Han was surely aware of Zhu Qianying’s attitude towards money. To be honest, if Zhu Qianying were really just a gold digger as Yi Wei had said, he would be relieved and spared from his headache.

Because he had plenty of money!

The truth was, she loved money, but she only cared for money that was rightfully hers and belonged to her.

She wouldn’t covet other people’s money in the slightest.

For instance, if she were truly after money, she wouldn’t have left everything behind and disappeared five years ago.

Even an idiot would know that all she had to do was cling to him, Yan Han, and she’d never have to worry about food, clothing, or spending money in her life. Why bother escaping to M country and starting all over again?

Yi Wei looked at him as if she were looking at a monster, "Brother Han, did she put some kind of spell on you? How can you say such things?"

Yan Han stood up, "Yi Wei, it’s none of your business, and there’s no need for you to meddle, I have things to do, you should leave!"

The last bit of patience Yan Han had for Yi Wei had been almost exhausted in the midst of her words just now.

If the conversation continued, Yan Han might end up calling security to forcibly remove Yi Wei.

Apparently well aware of his temperament, she saw his icy expression and recognized that any further talk would only provoke his anger. Once he demanded her departure, she promptly got up to leave.

Just as she was about to reach the door, she turned back to Yan Han and said, "Oh, by the way, it’s my dad’s birthday this Saturday, remember to come!"

Yan Han ignored her, immersing himself in his work.

After Yi Wei left his office, she didn’t leave immediately, instead, she turned to the nearby office of Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu heard a knock at the door. "Come in," he said, lifting his head in surprise as he saw Yi Wei.

"Miss Yi, what brings you here? Is Yan Han not around?"

For the past few years, Qin Xiu had been quite bothered by this missy from the Yi family, so much so he felt his hair turning grey due to her.

He didn’t quite like Miss Yi in the past, and now, he was not just unimpressed, he was outright annoyed.

As for the reason behind his annoyance, it was because she was supposed to be only a good friend of his boss, yet she always carried herself as if she were his true dominatrix.

But the real lady of his boss was Zhu Qianying that girl, wasn’t it?!

Qin Xiu didn’t know the real relationship between her and his boss, but he knew one thing for sure, he didn’t like her.

"Qin Xiu, Brother Han went on a business trip a few days ago. He’s been back for two days, but he seems a bit off. Did something troublesome happen?"

Whenever Yi Wei spoke to Qin Xiu, she was straightforward. Perhaps, she was lazy. Or perhaps, she was too used to being in a high position and didn’t feel the need to be polite to Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu replied to her in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Miss Yi, I’m not too clear about where Yan Han went on his business trip. After all, I’m only his special assistant, not his wife. His whereabouts don’t need to be reported to me. Also, whether he is in good spirits or not, I’m not his wife, I don’t need to manage so many things!"

By emphasizing again and again that he was not Yan Han’s wife, Qin Xiu was actually hinting to Yi Wei that it was none of her business where Yan Han travelled for business or whether he was in good spirits. After all, she was not his wife!

Having just come from Yan Han where she had heard about Zhu Qianying and was already agitated, now hearing Qin Xiu bring up Yan Han’s wife again, she couldn’t help but sneer.

"Wife? What kind of wife is it that disappears for five years after they get married?"

Qin Xiu had known from Ke Kai that Zhu Qianying had already returned. "Miss Yi, that’s between Yan Han and his wife. We outsiders should keep our gossip to ourselves if we don’t know the full story!"

Unable to get any useful information from Qin Xiu, Yi Wei glared at him and turned to leave.

As soon as Yi Wei was out the door, Qin Xiu stepped into Yan Han’s office with a stack of documents.

"Boss, can you deal with your issues with Miss Yi yourself? Please don’t make me deal with them all the time, okay?"

It seemed like whenever it came to women, his boss always liked to make him deal with the problems. Whether it was Yi Wei or Zhu Qianying, it was always the same.

In the past, Qin Xiu always felt that every encounter with Zhu Qianying, that intelligent girl, would cost him a few years of his life. But these years, after each encounter with Yi Wei, he had started to prefer dealing with Zhu Qianying instead.

"Did she come to see you?"

As Yan Han took the files from him, he flipped through them and asked.

"Yeah, she asked where you were on business and why you didn’t seem well when you came back!"

Yan Han just hummed a response, "Did you tell her?"

Qin Xiu raised his hands in a pledge, "Boss, I’m always on your side. Of course, I wouldn’t tell her such things. I also told her that I’m not your wife, how would I know so much about you? After that, she stormed off."

Yan Han hummed again, then fell silent.

Qin Xiu found it strange. Wasn’t it said that Zhu Qianying had come back? Why did his boss seem to be in a bad mood?

"Boss, when does Ying Zi have time? We should set a time to have dinner together, it’s been five years since I last saw her. I bet she’s grown into a pretty lady now!"

Qin Xiu was only a few months younger than Yan Han. In his eyes, Zhu Qianying had always been a little girl.

Finally, Yan Han lifted his head to look at him. "She’s busy!"

Qin Xiu chuckled a few times, "I understand. It’s said that ’absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ You and Ying Zi haven’t seen each other for years. I’m sure you two are now in a very intimate state, it was my fault for intruding. Let’s make plans after you two finish this period of intimacy!"

Upon finishing his fearless statement, Qin Xiu snickered as he took the signed documents from Yan Han and swiftly swaggered off.

Yan Han really wanted to be intimately entangled with Zhu Qianying. But the reality was, she’d been back for two or three days, and even their one-time attempt to hold hands was forced.

And because of the attempted hand-holding, he discovered something that greatly annoyed him.

The wedding ring he gave her had really been thrown into the ocean?

This question had been nagging him for the past two or three days. Every time he thought about this possibility, he felt deflated and frustrated.

When he learned from Mike in M country that Zhu Qianying had been emotionally empty for the past five years, he felt quite happy and triumphant.

He thought, maybe, she hadn’t been able to let go of him. So, she hadn’t had any other romantic relationships for five years.

But when he came back and met her face to face, after their heart-to-heart "communication," he discovered that reality did not match his expectations.

At this point, he realized, he didn’t seem to understand women very well.

This was true for Zhu Qianying and also for Yi Wei.
