Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Once, Having Felt Such Despair

"What is all this?" Zhu Qianying didn’t even want to glance through the pile. Her intuition told her that these were not good things.

"See for yourself!" Yan Han nudged the documents towards her again.

Zhu Qianying took the documents with a skeptical expression. Upon opening the first one, it was the stock transfer form of the Mingxuan Group that she had given to Yan Han five years ago.

"Why are you giving this to me? It’s all been transferred to your name!" Zhu Qianying wondered, looking at Yan Han.

Yan Han gestured with his chin. "Keep going!"

Zhu Qianying continued flipping through the pages until she got to the end, where she found the transferee’s field blank.

And under the transferring party, it was the signature she had left five years ago!

"You didn’t sign?"

Zhu Qianying had more than a small shock.

She knew he didn’t value this insignificant amount of money, but honestly speaking, considering Yan Han’s usual behavior, she didn’t believe he could let her go easily after she dumped everything on him and left.

At least, he had every reason, and a very justified one at that, to take the money back!

After all, he had never explicitly tried to kick her out or even mentioned breaking off their marriage. It was she who couldn’t stand being ignored and the endless waiting, and decided to leave.

Events from five years ago seemed to replay in Zhu Qianying’s mind. Her past sorrows and unbearable situations were mercilessly exposed once more.

Zhu Qianying stared at the handwriting on the transfer agreement, remembering the unbearable sadness and hopelessness she felt when she signed her name.

However, Yan Han, who was sitting across from her, didn’t have a clue about any of this.

Even face-to-face as they were now, he had no idea!

He didn’t understand her feelings from five years ago!

She had indeed been that desperate once!

But he only sat there calmly, indicating that he was open to hearing the whole story.

"Why should I sign?"

Zhu Qianying, who had been keeping her eyes downcast, took a deep breath and quickly suppressed the emotions and thoughts arising from her past. She looked up, trying to appear nonchalant.

"Didn’t I make it clear back then? This is not mine anymore. You better sign it now, and see if it is still valid. If it isn’t, I’ll ask my lawyer to prepare another one!"

As she finished speaking, Zhu Qianying stuffed the documents back into Yan Han’s arms as if they were a hot potato.

She wouldn’t tell him that this transfer agreement had reminded her of their fragile relationship from the past, exposing all the details before her eyes.

Nor would she disclose that the very same transfer agreement had, in fact, saved her last bit of self-esteem and confidence.

Yan Han, who failed to detect her underlying sadness, took the documents and looked at her with a smile.

"I don’t need this money, so I won’t sign!"

So, according to Mr. Yan, because he is rich and doesn’t value money, he can act willfully.

Zhu Qianying had seen many capricious people, but the only one who was capricious about money was the Eldest Young Master, Yan!

Indeed, if Yan weren’t rich and wilful, she could not have ended up with him.

"Mr. Yan, whether you want to sign it or not is up to you. But remember, I don’t want these shares anymore!"

In her view, these shares did not belong to her any longer, but to Mr. Yan, having nothing to do with her anymore.

Just like her absurd marriage from five years ago, and the man sitting in front of her now!

They no longer had anything to do with her!

"Ying’er, let me ask you!"

Yan Han tried asking her from a different angle, "Why did you want to transfer these shares to me initially?"

At this moment, his sole wish was for her to take back the transfer agreement. On the surface, it might look like a mere financial matter, but deep down, he knew he couldn’t sign it.

More than anyone else, he was aware that once he signed his name under the transferee’s field, it would mark a complete end to their relationship.

But he was clueless to the fact that whether he signed or not was irrelevant to Zhu Qianying.

Just like their marriage, whether it ended in divorce or not, didn’t matter to Zhu Qianying.

Because five years ago, from the moment Zhu Qianying decided to leave, she had already cut all ties.

Five years ago, what ran away from Yan Han’s side was not only her body!

It was her heart too!

All her ties with Yan Han were utterly severed on that day!

However, Yan Han didn’t understand all this, neither did he five years ago, nor did he in the present.

Perhaps he had a faint idea, but he refused to acknowledge it!

Even less, he refused to face it!

He merely deluded himself, indulging in comically childish behavior.

Just like the day they met again after a long time, and the present moment!

Zhu Qianying didn’t want to talk about her past sentiment.

Even the past events she didn’t want to speak of much, but since he insisted on broaching the subject, she had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Didn’t I make it clear in the letter I left you? I took your one hundred million in exchange for a lifetime of marriage. But our marriage lasted less than a month, which is why I returned the money to you."

Her tone was very calm, indifferent to the point that the words she was uttering seemed like someone else’s issues.

The one hundred million and the lifetime of marriage had nothing to do with her!

Yan Han nodded involuntarily, "You’re right!"

Hearing that he agreed with her made Zhu Qianying feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off her. However, his following words made her realize that she was too hasty in her rejoicing.

"You wanted to transfer the shares to me because our marriage didn’t last a month. But the fact is, we’re still legally married, so I have no reason to take this money back, right?"

Yan Han’s analysis left Zhu Qianying speechless.

Under careful consideration based on his logic, it seemed like he was right!

Zhu Qianying knew she had been misled by him, yet she couldn’t find the right argument to refute him.

"Mr. Yan, we now have less than a year left in our agreement. Also, let me remind you, our marriage over the past five years has been in name only and counts for nothing!"

Even if she couldn’t find the right argument to refute his fallacy, she would never take the shares back.

To her, the transfer agreement was like that period of marriage, things that did not belong to her.

Whether he signed the transferee’s field or not, and whether the marriage certificate changed into a divorce certificate, didn’t matter.

Because, in her heart, she had confirmed five years ago.

The money was returned to him!

The marriage was over!

Five years ago, he believed that she had no right to ask him to come back to her.

Could it be that she doesn’t even have the right to leave him?

What a joke!
