Chapter 240: Chapter 240 End with a Period

"So this is how it is? You mean, I don’t have a chance anymore?"

Cheng Ye’s mood seemed quite low, but he managed to maintain his last bits of composure and reason.

He never expected that Zhu Qianying’s simple trip back home would have escalated things to this point.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have helped her send their son back to China. Or maybe, when she mentioned going back, he would have kept her here at all costs and never let her go.

Would everything have changed if he did so?

However, there are no ifs in life. At this point, he didn’t know what to say, nor what to do!

"Cheng, I’m sorry!" Zhu Qianying looked at Cheng Ye steadily. His sadness was evident, despite his attempts to hide it.

And she was the one responsible for his grief!

She didn’t know how many times she had apologized to Cheng Ye, and this time, in addition to guilt, she felt incredibly guilty.

Cheng Ye tiredly rubbed his temples and took a sip of the coffee on the table.

"Ying Zi, you have nothing to apologize for. Emotional matters are not forced upon us. I just regret not realizing my feelings for you when you and Yan Han were not yet a thing. It wasn’t until you got married that I realized that there was no love left between me and Xiao Min."

Ironically, Cheng Ye, who should have been comforted, ended up comforting Zhu Qianying.

Xiao Min, whom Cheng Ye was referring to, was his ex-girlfriend.

Zhu Qianying remained silent. Every day, many people met the right person at the wrong time.

She wasn’t sure if she was the right person for Cheng Ye, but she was certain that Cheng Ye was not the right person for her.

As for her ’right’ person, perhaps he never existed. Maybe the creator forgot to create a match for her, which was why she couldn’t fall in love with anyone.

"Cheng, is there really no chance for you and Xiao Min?"

Cheng Ye silently shook his head!

Once, Zhu Qianying was envious of Cheng Ye and his ex-girlfriend. Unexpectedly, they still ended up breaking up.

And the reason they broke up seems to have been due to her?

For a moment, Zhu Qianying felt even guiltier. Yet, she heard Cheng Ye asking her about their son.

"How is the baby doing after returning to China?"

Mentioning their son finally brought a smile to Zhu Qianying’s face, and she nodded at Cheng Ye.

"Yes, he’s adapted really well. Also, we’ve found a school for him, and we’ll send him there after the Spring Festival."

Cheng Ye also smiled, "That’s great! So, you two have decided to settle down in China?"

The shock Cheng Ye received today was significant, but after being rejected for so many years, he was mentally prepared.

Zhu Qianying had had many suitors over the years, not just him. But those men, without exception, all ended up like him.

And as her boss and friend, he was able to stay by her side.

He wondered whether she had been rejecting all her suiters, including him, because they weren’t good enough. Or was her heart still with someone else?

He never found the answers to these questions.

But today, he finally got definite answers.

Only recently when Yan Han confronted him did he find out that Yan Han and Zhu Qianying were never divorced! At that time, he thought Yan Han was just trying to bring him down.

But when he saw them walking together at the airport today, he naively thought it was a coincidence or that Yan Han was pestering Zhu Qianying.

Now, everything was clear.

She said, yes, we’ve reconciled!

She said, I’m sorry!

She and Yan Han had a new beginning.

And his feelings for her had ended today!

"Yes! Our baby needs a complete family, and in China, neither he nor I will face threats anymore!"

Zhu Qianying still had lingering fears about the threats and intimidation she had previously faced. However, she did not know that Yan Han had already resolved all the problems in the M country a while ago.

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment before realizing that Yan Han hadn’t told Zhu Qianying about everything he’d done. Was it to spare her worry? Or were there other reasons for him to keep it from her?

After hesitating, Cheng Ye decided not to tell Zhu Qianying about Yan Han dealing with those thugs.

Zhu Qianying thought it was time to stop talking about herself and their son.

She looked down at her files, "Cheng, I can only stay for one week at most during this trip. So, we better resolve the new product matters within this week."

With that, she handed the file she had just flipped through to Cheng Ye.

She had already let him down in terms of feelings.

At work, she didn’t want to let him down again regarding his expectations and trust.

"Okay, I’ll tell the team to cooperate with your schedule!" Being a responsible boss, Cheng Ye accepted the file she handed over and started scrutinizing it seriously.

After a while, Cheng Ye remembered something.

"Ying Zi, are you sure you don’t want to promote the ruby ring design you sent me the other day? Both the Market Department Manager and I believe that with a bit of promotion, the design and concept of the couple rings would be popular."

The pair of rings Cheng Ye mentioned were the 40th wedding anniversary rings that Zhu Qianying designed for Yan Han’s mother.

"Cheng, I’m sorry, but that was a gift for Yan Han’s parents for their 40th wedding anniversary. The rings are unique and can’t be used for promotional sales."

Cheng Ye genuinely liked the design of the rings, but after hearing Zhu Qianying’s explanation, he changed his mind about promoting them.

"Okay, since they have a special meaning, I’ll respect your decision."

In the conference room, Zhu Qianying and Cheng Ye were busily engaged in their work.

Meanwhile, Yan Han, who was taking care of his own matters in Zhu Qianying’s office, was just as busy.

His phone kept ringing. Most of the calls were work-related from Qin Xiu, Ke Kai, and Ma Peng.

As he was engrossed in his work, Yan Han picked up the landline phone when it rang, thinking it was his office phone.

"Hello!"

On the other end of the phone, there were sounds of faint breathing, which Yan Han was quite familiar with.

"Is that you, baby boy? It’s daddy!"
