Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Decide to be Brave

Indeed, he had wagered right once again.

Surprisingly, Zhu Qianying did not refute his words this time.

Although she did not give him any response, she simply looked at him deeply and then turned her head, staring at the street view outside the window in a trance.

But he saw a different emotion, or fluctuation, from her eyes compared to the previous times he confessed to her.

Yan respectfully didn’t disturb her silence because he knew she needed enough time to digest and accept his words.

Regardless, he had already waited for five years and didn’t mind waiting for another five, ten, twenty years, or even longer.

As long as she allows him to stay by her side, even waiting is a kind of beauty he yearns for.

...

The wound on Zhu Qianying’s hand healed quickly, forming a scab after two days.

Seeing the wound gradually healing, Zhu Qianying slowly started packing, planning to move back to the apartment in a few days.

While Yan continued to stay busy as before, probably, a lot of work had piled up during his long stay abroad. After the conversation in the car that day, the two had hardly spent any time alone together.

Naturally, there was no possibility of him saying anything overly sweet to Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying was not quite sure whether he was genuinely busy or was pretending to be, just to give her more time to think.

But no matter which it was, Zhu Qianying was glad to accept it.

Zhu Qianying was very clear in her mind; she really needed time to think right now.

And what she is pondering over is essentially two critical questions.

First, should she trust him?

Second, should she try to love him again?

About the first part, if she can trust, then love has a foundation.

About the second part, if she can still love, then her marriage with him, which is in name only, will have a wholly new future.

In other words, if she trusts him, if she dares to try loving him again, then their son will genuinely have a complete family.

One must admit, the final result is very tempting to her, but she does not want to force herself to do anything for her son’s sake.

Even if such a choice is deemed selfish in the eyes of many saintly people.

But she really doesn’t want to force herself again!

Five years ago, she forced herself, and the result was that.

So, she won’t force herself for anyone in the future, including her son.

She believes that if she becomes a resentful woman to make her son happy, he won’t be truly happy, because the complete family is nothing more than a facade.

After being lost for a while, Zhu Qianying finally sorted out her thoughts and was ready to face it bravely.

Next, Zhu Qianying hoped to give herself and him enough time and space to observe and consider carefully without interfering with each other, and cautiously choose the answer she truly desires in her heart.

On Saturday night, Zhu Qianying, her mother, and the Yan family had dinner together and sat in the living room as usual, either sipping tea or chatting, watching TV or surfing the internet.

Yan didn’t work overtime today and accompanied his parents and Chen Jing in tea tasting after dinner.

The little boy was nestled in Zhu Qianying’s arms, not being restless as usual, obviously being careful of the injury on Zhu Qianying’s hand.

Zhu Qianying looked at the elders chatting softly on the side and Yan serving tea to the elders unusually. She touched her son’s head and suddenly said, "Uncle and Aunt..."

Yan Bo and his wife looked over in tandem. Without waiting for their questions, Zhu Qianying preemptively stated.

"My wound is almost healed. My mother and I are planning to move back home on Wednesday. Sorry for the inconvenience during this period!"

Yan Bo and his wife were stunned, obviously because they had become used to Zhu Qianying, her mother, and their grandson living in the Yan mansion. In their hearts, they had long accepted the three as part of their family.

So they never thought that they would leave one day.

Or, it’s not that they never thought about it; it’s just that they didn’t want to think about that possibility.

"Ying’er..."

Yan’s wife wanted to dissuade, but Zhu Qianying interrupted her again.

"Aunt, as for how the little boy will be, my mother and I have no objection. We respect his opinion."

In other words, if the little boy says he wants to stay in the Yan family, she would not interfere; but, understanding her son, there is little possibility of that happening.

"Mommy, can I go back with you and come back on weekends to accompany Grandpa, Grandma, and Daddy?" The little boy calmly asked, seemingly Zhu Qianying had prepared him beforehand.

Zhu Qianying looked at the family of Yans, waiting for their responses. However, everyone present knew that neither Yan Bo and his wife nor Yan himself could deny it as the passive party.

Zhu Qianying asking their opinion upfront was already giving them ample respect.

"Well, since you have decided, we can’t say much. Anyway, this is also the home of you, the baby boy, and Ah Jing. You can come back whenever you want to."

Speaking on behalf of the Yans, Yan Bo voiced their consent.

As for Yan, he didn’t express any opinion the whole time.

Not that he didn’t want to, but he knew very well that his opinion could not influence Zhu Qianying’s decision.

At least for now, it certainly couldn’t influence her at all.

And, if he guessed correctly, Zhu Qianying was planning to move out as soon as she returned from the business trip in country M, but because of the injury, she had to stay a few more days.

"You can move back, but I need to arrange for a few people to guard you for a while. In the short term, it’s safer to have a driver for your travel."

Yan could let her go back, but he couldn’t slack in safety.

He also thought about secretly protecting them, just like before.

But the enemy is too cunning; and as he’s in an open position, while the enemy remains hidden, it would be best if Zhu Qianying and her mother could remain entirely vigilant and careful before their way of operating is clear.

"Well, I understand! I’m relatively free during this period, and most of my trips outside are just to accompany my mother to check the shop’s progress. In any case, we’ll try to minimize going out if there’s nothing important."

Yan being so upfront, Zhu Qianying gratefully accepted his goodwill.

After all, in front of life safety, pride or anything else seems insignificant.

"Son, how about you stay with Grandpa and Grandma for a while longer? Mommy’s hand is not entirely recovered yet, and it’s not too comfortable to take care of you."

Zhu Qianying saying this was just an excuse, purely from considering the son’s safety.

The little boy looked at her seriously for a moment and finally, he nodded.
