Chapter 332: Chapter 332: You Have It, But I Don’t Want It

"Zhu Zhizhou came to see you again, didn’t he?"

Finally, after settling the issues of residence and necessities, Eldest Young Master Yan Han steered the conversation back to the main matter.

"Yes!" Zhu Qianying affirmed his rhetorical question.

"What are your thoughts regarding the Zhu family?" Yan Han openly revealed his intention to stand up for her.

Zhu Qianying admitted she had neither power nor status. Five years prior, when she, her mother, and sister were confronting the Zhu Family, the only thought she had was to escape.

Five years later, when faced with the Zhu Family again, realistically, her only option was still to hide!

Of course, she did want to trample the Zhu family under her feet, as if they were ants, and casually humiliate them.

However, she understood that she lacked the ability to do so. Therefore, she only kept these thoughts in her heart, secretly comforting herself in her imagination.

Now, the man before her unexpectedly offered her bait, making it clear that he was willing to stand up for her and resolve everything.

Despite this, she firmly believed that there was no such thing as unprovoked love or unprovoked hatred in this world.

If she wanted to use someone else’s hand to deal with the Zhu family, she would have to pay a price.

And to her, the price that lay before her seemed too significant. In return for the insult dealt by the Zhu Family, she felt it wouldn’t be worth it.

So, she chose to avoid it.

"I have no thoughts about them!" Zhu Qianying said indifferently.

Yan Han slightly frowned; her reaction was beyond his expectation.

He had extended the olive branch, but she didn’t even have the willingness to grasp it?

Did she not harbor resentment towards the Zhu family?

Did she not want to retaliate fiercely?

Did she not know that for him, managing these matters would not be difficult?

"Haven’t you heard about the rumors from outside?"

Yan Han started to doubt. She couldn’t possibly think the things happening in the Zhu family were just random events, could she?

"What rumors?" Zhu Qianying feigned ignorance.

If she had no thoughts of letting him stand up for her, then what difference did it make whether she had heard the rumors or not?

The current situation of the Zhu Family and Zhu Junwei was the result of Zhu Junwei and Yi Wei conspiring against Yan Han. If he weren’t Zhu Junwei but someone else, Zhu Junwei’s fate would most likely remain unchanged.

Therefore, Zhu Qianying didn’t believe she had taken much advantage of Yan Han in this matter.

But now that he had asked her so directly, if she were to voice her demands, it would mean that everything that follows would be what she had wished for.

Yan Han gritted his teeth and cursed silently, wouldn’t she die if she voiced her demands to him?

But at this moment, could he dare be so straightforward with Zhu Qianying?

"Zhu Qianying, after being treated so badly by them, don’t you want to retaliate fiercely?" He tried to persuade her gently.

Zhu Qianying replied without a second thought, "I don’t want to!"

Yan Han stared at her with his dark eyes, filled with curiosity and inquiry.

"Is it because you don’t want to, or you don’t dare to?"

Zhu Qianying raised her eyebrows, met his gaze, and asked seriously, "Is there a difference?"

Yan Han was frustrated. How long did she plan to feign ignorance in front of him?

"Of course there is. Not wanting to is a matter of willingness; not daring illustrates a lack of capability!"

Zhu Qianying laughed, "Whether I want to or can do it, in my perspective, the meaning and outcome are the same!"

Her bright and unabashed laughter snapped the last thread of Yan Han’s patience.

"Zhu Qianying, would you die if you asked me for something? Or would you lose a piece of flesh?"

He had encountered obstinate people and those with integrity before, but he had never met someone who was both as stubborn and staunch as her!

Zhu Qianying shrugged her shoulders, "Neither would occur. But why should I ask you for something?"

By the end of it, Zhu Qianying’s tone was provoking, and her eyes were filled with disdain and contempt!

Yan Han exploded!

"I am your husband!" His voice and stance were as intense as hot oil sizzling on a pan!

Nevertheless, his domineering disposition only garnered a scoff from her.

"So what if you are my husband? Should I open my palm and ask you for things just because you’re my husband?"

"What else?" Yan Han felt like she was about to burst his lungs!

He absolutely couldn’t understand her thought process. She had been bullied by the Zhu family to such an extent, yet she didn’t even want to retaliate?

He had openly laid his assets before her, explicitly expressing that she could use them freely without reservation.

Yet she’d rather endure and evade, refusing to leverage his power even slightly!

No matter whether Yan Han was calm or fuming, her reaction remained composed and calm.

"I’m sorry, just because you have something doesn’t mean I need to want it! Regardless of whether it’s money or something else! You have it, but that doesn’t mean you can force it onto me!"

In the past, she tangled with him over money, which in the end led to them harboring complex emotions towards each other.

Now, she didn’t want to get caught up with him because of his power. She understood better than anyone else that she had nothing comparable to offer Yan Han; if she used his power today, ultimately, she could only repay him with feelings.

Yan Han’s hand started trembling from Zhu Qianying’s obstinacy, "Zhu Qianying, have you forgotten? You are the lawful wife of Yan Han; you have the right to half of my property and power. Fine! I will have my lawyer come over now to transfer half of my property to you, so this way, it wouldn’t be forced onto you, right?"

He never thought that one day, he would beg someone to share everything he has!

The most unreasonable aspect was that he practically forced his money and power, things that the world flocked to, onto her, only to have her look indifferent!

"Just try it!" Zhu Qianying coldly watched him.

"You!" Yan Han was so enraged by her defiance that he was left speechless.

At this moment, Yan Han was like fire, and Zhu Qianying was like ice!

He stared at her, she glanced at him.

Both refused to concede, persisting with their rigid stances, yet both also couldn’t persuade the other!

Time passed by, second by second. Just as Zhu Qianying thought this standoff would last until the end of time, the typically dominant Eldest Young Master Yan actually sighed deeply!

"Fine, let’s leave this matter for now!"

After all, the Zhu family had suffered massive losses up till now. It would take more than a day or two to recover.

As for the Zhu Family, it’s best to be cautious first. The subsequent matters could be figured out slowly.

Seeing that he had backed down first, Zhu Qianying also averted her gaze and turned to look at the dense bushes in the garden. After a while, she turned back and said resignedly.

"Yan Han, we both are fully aware of the real relationship between us. So why do you insist on complicating it?"

Zhu Qianying didn’t intend to constantly remind Yan Han that their past marriage was just an agreement.

But he always seemed to find a way to make her remind him again and again that their relationship was held together by only a fragile thread.

This thread couldn’t withstand deliberate provocation or bear the slightest burden!
