Chapter 254: Chapter 254: It’s not Like, it’s Love

"Oh, so that’s it!"

Zhu Qianying’s tone lent itself to a sudden realization. However, her facial expression suggested something entirely different.

Moreover, after this purported "realization," she met his gaze silently, noticed he had nothing more to say, and went back to her embroidery seeming indifferent.

Yan Han was left speechless, unable to comprehend her reaction and what it signified!

Did she care?

Or, perhaps, she didn’t care?

Yan Han waited a little while longer, but as Zhu Qianying continued to show no signs of wanting to question him, he questioned her somewhat resentfully, "Don’t you have any questions for me?"

Zhu Qianying lifted her head again, looking at him puzzled, "No! What should I be asking you?"

Initially, she was indeed quite curious about who had made the two scarves. However, upon learning they were gifted by Yan Han to Yi Wei, she lost interest.

She had no desire to let Yi Wei think that she also needed to have, and own, something Yi Wei had.

Such masochistic taste, she never had!

"Really nothing?" Yan Han asked in a somewhat muffled voice.

Zhu Qianying really had nothing to ask, but seeing the young master’s frustration, it seemed that he would eat her up if she didn’t raise a question.

So Zhu Qianying turned her thoughts, racked her brains, and finally blurted out a question, "Is Yi Wei, pretty?"

Five years ago, she had seen Yi Wei in the hospital.

However, at that time, Yi Wei’s face was swollen like a pig’s head. It wasn’t just that she wasn’t beautiful, the sight was even horrifying enough to scare one into nightmares.

Speaking of which, after she went abroad, she had nightmares featuring Yi Wei’s swollen face several times. In these dreams, this pig-headed girl was a murderous devil who was out to get her.

She has never mentioned these dreams to anyone.

After all, these dreams, to some extent, reeked of schadenfreude, or perhaps, displaced anger!

Despite knowing that Zhu Qianying was unpredictable, Yan Han still frowned slightly at her peculiar question. What a nonsensical question!

Because the unfolding of events completely deviated from what he had envisioned, he reached out his hand somewhat irritably, gently lifted her chin, and examined her facial features closely.

"Honestly?"

Zhu Qianying met his gaze, noticing the comparison and scrutiny in his eyes.

Instantly, she thought, "Oh damn, I asked if Yi Wei was pretty, not who’s prettier, her or me!"

Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him, responding somewhat irritably, "Whatever, but after you’re done, it would be best if you can tell me whether you’re telling the truth or not!"

Yan Han once again took a deep look at her, indeed, he carefully compared Zhu Qianying with Yi Wei.

"To be honest? If we break it down to individual facial features, she’s prettier than you! However, taken as a whole, you are prettier, more pleasing to the eye, and moreover, you have more temperament!"

These consecutive "prettier than her" comments left Zhu Qianying feeling extremely satisfied. So, it turned out, she was just a vain woman too!

"Alright, alright, I got it! You don’t have to tell me whether it’s the truth or not!"

Even if it was a lie, she’s taking it!

As Zhu Qianying thought this, she tried to shake off Yan Han’s finger from her chin.

However, his finger seemed to be glued there, sticking firmly to her chin.

Reluctantly, she raised her head to meet Yan Han’s shining black eyes.

"The truth!"

Yan Han affirmed!

Zhu Qianying blinked, and smiled, "Hmm, thank you!"

She would just consider this as a consolation prize!

Her radiant smile, like a bright summer flower, momentarily dazzled Yan Han.

Her eyes resembled two dewdrops in the morning sun, clear and bright.

He thought bringing up Yi Wei would stir her emotions, at least a bit.

But time and again, her reaction, including this time, was as normal as ever, as peaceful as a tranquil lake.

Whether it was Yi Wei or himself, they were insignificant to her, not even pebbles in a pond.

Or perhaps, they were just tiny specks of dust. Despite his best efforts, these specks softly landed on the surface of her lake-like heart, failing even to make a ripple.

A sense of powerlessness welled up again!

"Ying’er, tell me the truth too!"

A strange thought flashed through Yan Han’s mind, causing his heart to tighten.

"Hmm..."

Zhu Qianying had no idea what he was about to ask, but she felt she didn’t have any secrets from him anymore.

"Have you... fallen for someone else?" Yan Han asked this with great difficulty.

If she hadn’t fallen for someone else, how could she be so indifferent towards him?!

Even five years ago, when she had just been selected, her enthusiasm towards him had been warmer than it is now!

Hearing this sudden question, Zhu Qianying burst into laughter, as if she’d heard a tremendously funny joke.

Meanwhile, Yan Han’s nerves tightened further amidst her uninhibited laughter.

She finally managed to stop laughing.

Seeing Yan Han’s rare nervous expression, Zhu Qianying felt inexplicably satisfied.

"Yes, I indeed have grown fond of someone else!"

The brightness in Yan Han’s eyes noticeably dimmed.

Just as he prepared to say something, he heard Zhu Qianying speak again.

"No, that’s not accurate. It’s not just fondness, I’ve fallen in love with someone else!"

Yan Han’s face immediately turned icy cold, like his name suggested. Waves of coldness radiated from his eyes.

"Who is that person?" Yan Han stared at her, his voice dry and coarse, like sand carried by desert wind.

Zhu Qianying struggled to suppress her laughter, feeling as if Yan Han was going to burn holes through her face with his gaze. In the end, she couldn’t help it, and once again laughed heartily.

By the time she finished laughing, Yan Han’s face had turned pitch-dark.

"Haha, you know him too!"

Zhu Qianying continued to giggle uncontrollably as she spoke.

Yan Han longed to clutch his aching chest, but he didn’t want to make such a weak gesture, so he maintained his stern expression.

"Who? Xing Bailun? Qi Xiao? Or is it Cheng Ye?"

Yan Han’s voice had become more than just dry now.

An amused smile played on Zhu Qianying’s lips as she tilted her head, musing, "Let me think, what’s his name?"

By now, Yan Han’s eyes were so inflamed that he could practically shoot fire out of them. If someone started a fire in front of him, his eyes would probably erupt into flames.

"You don’t even know his name, and yet you’re sure you’re in love with him?"

Who would have thought that he would lose to a man whose name she wasn’t even sure of?

Zhu Qianying’s radiant smile became even brighter, "Yes! Ah...I remember now, his daddy once said he’s called..."
