Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Visible, but Not Eatable

Zhu Qianying was stunned again, as she was unaware of Yan Han’s intentions. She contemplated from her own perspective, and finally nodded.

"Okay, but there has to be a limit."

Yan Han side-eyed her, thinking if she dare to say one month, he’d strangle her!

"A limit?"

"Yes, there has to be a limit! Look, I buy a house, even the property rights have an expiration, we are humans, it’s even more necessary to have a humane deadline, isn’t it?"

Zhu Qianying was no fool. She didn’t have someone she loved, and probably had no plans for a romantic relationship or marriage.

But still, being tied to the title of Yan Family’s daughter-in-law, brings numerous inconveniences.

Most importantly, she didn’t want to endure the strange and excessive demands Yan Eldest Young Master might make from time to time under the pretext of being a husband and wife.

"Speak, how long?" Yan Han stared at her, paying close attention to the change in her expression.

In the past two days, their communication was marked by heated clashes.

After a few clashes, Yan Han began to be more considerate and spontaneously corrected his attitude subtly when facing her.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he had to face the reality that the Zhu Qianying before his eyes was not the same as before.

The old Zhu Qianying, despite her dissatisfaction with him, would only be a bit stubborn but would always make appropriate concessions before crossing his bottom line. Naturally, they would end up happily.

But now, Zhu Qianying had a determination that she was not afraid to fight with him to the end.

And her determination perplexed Yan Han greatly!

His confusion led him to try to understand and adapt to her.

These thoughts, he didn’t have them five years ago.

Back then, he felt that her acquiescence to him was something natural.

But now, recognizing that things have changed, he had no choice but to guess her thoughts from her changing expressions.

Just like how she used to read his thoughts.

On the other hand, Zhu Qianying looked straight back at him, her clear eyes meeting his without fear.

Since Yan Han took over Yanhuang Group and the Tong Family business at the age of 18, his increased personal abilities and power resulted in fewer people not daring to look him in the eye, apart from his parents and the elders.

Zhu Qianying, however, was one of the few who dared to meet his gaze.

"One year! If we can’t save our marriage within a year, then we formally divorce a year later without any excuses from either party to delay."

This was Zhu Qianying’s decision after careful consideration.

Yan Han was quite dissatisfied with this one-year limit, he hadn’t ever thought of setting a limit, but just wanted to delay indefinitely until the day she changes her mind.

However, since she had proposed a limit, it meant that he could no longer ignore her opinions as he had done before.

In reality, ignoring her opinions would only provoke her resentment.

Experiencing the realization, Yan Han, reluctant to agree, finally nodded.

"Okay, let’s say one year!"

Of course, he was confident that he could coax her back within this year!

Seeing that he eventually concurred, Zhu Qianying added:

"I emphasize once again, I cannot tolerate betrayal in our marriage, so for this year, both of us must be loyal to each other. If one of us is unfaithful, the other can immediately ask for an end to the marriage. Moreover, neither of us can demand the other to fulfill marital duties. Let’s be clear, this year, we’re only married in name."

Yan Han had no objection to the first part. He didn’t cheat on her for five years while she was absent, why would he do it now when she’s back with his son?

However, the latter part, he had some resentments.

The person was right in front of him, but he couldn’t touch or taste?

For the past few years, he couldn’t see or touch her.

Now, although he could see her, he still couldn’t touch or taste! Comparatively, wasn’t his current desire more tormenting than his unfulfilled yearning of the past five years?

Zhu Qianying saw his hesitation and felt delighted.

To ask a man to look but not taste is like asking for his life, isn’t it?

Just when Zhu Qianying thought Yan Han was going to refuse her emphasis on conditions, Yan Han nodded once again.

"Okay!"

Zhu Qianying was a bit surprised, but since he agreed, that meant she achieved her aim, and she didn’t bother to question anything else.

"Young Master Yan, promises must be kept!"

"Of course!" Yan Han nodded earnestly.

The matter was resolved peacefully, Zhu Qianying in a good mood, went to the kitchen to wash some fruits.

It surprised her that Young Master Yan had made this request. She still couldn’t understand what was the point of Young Master Yan holding onto this nominal marriage.

In these five years, what exactly happened between Young Master Yan and Miss Yi?

Five years ago, she generously gave up her position as Mrs Yan. Didn’t that enable them to be together?

Why didn’t Young Master Yan dissolve their marriage in the past five years and instead kept insisting that he and Yi Wei were just good friends?

Could it be that Young Master Yan had been unable to win over Yi Wei?

So, did Young Master Yan use her to stimulate Yi Wei?

Although this reason seems ridiculous, Young Master Yan is so proud, would he stoop to such method to seek a relationship?

Aside from this, Zhu Qianying couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation.

Soon after, Zhu Qianying who was munching on an apple, tested the waters with a casual question "Young Master Yan, if you find someone you like within the year, we can divorce right away."

"That’s not possible!" Yan Han answered unequivocally.

Zhu Qianying just smiled without saying anything, and then heard Yan Han say, "And you better not think about it!"

After a while, Zhu Qianying finally understood what he meant by "better not think about it".

...

After Zhu Qianying and Yan Han reached a mutual agreement about their baby boy, two days later, Zhu Qianying came out of the jewelry store to pick up their son from the Yan House and take some of his belongings back home.

Yan’s mother and Yan Bo had promised that no matter what decision Zhu Qianying makes, they would respect and support it.

So, when Zhu Qianying said she was coming to pick up their son in the afternoon, even though Yan’s mother was reluctant, she cooperated by packing up the their son’s stuff and sent him to Zhu Qianying’s car reluctantly.

After Zhu Qianying left with their son from Yan’s house, Yan Han’s call came promptly.

"Ying’er, where are you and our son?"

Obviously, Yan Han was aware that they had left Yan’s house.

"Just got on the overpass!" Zhu Qianying answered truthfully.

"Get off at the upcoming exit, let’s take our son and visit the school together."
