Chapter 500: Chapter 500 I Wait for You

After hanging up the phone, Yan Han wished he could immediately fly to Zhu Qianying’s side, and do everything he had been thinking about for five years, but was either unable or dare not to do due to various reasons.

But he, who had just clinched a major project, dared not take it lightly.

This particular project was very crucial, and even a half-day delay in its start would cause Yanhuang group to lose a significant amount of money.

Yan Han was always very serious and meticulous about his work, because he understood that every business or project of Yanhuang Group is the fruit of the hard work of his subordinates. He couldn’t allow his personal whims to ruin their efforts.

The project was set to start the next day, and many tasks required Yan Han’s personal supervision, organization, and planning. Therefore, no matter how desperately he wanted to see Zhu Qianying at the moment, he had to finish all his work before he could leave.

"I’m sorry, I’m very busy today. I might be only available to see you this evening!"

Looking at a large pile of files and data waiting for his approval, this was all he could say to Zhu Qianying.

"Hmm, I also have to work overtime tonight, so I might also get back home late."

Being a career woman herself, Zhu Qianying could understand Yan Han’s predicament.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Qianying gathered her thoughts a little, picked up some information from the table, and handed it to Cheng Ye.

"Cheng, these are some data and information I collected, just for reference."

Since Cheng Ye decided to shift his focus to domestic development, he made a series of adjustments to the sales and future development direction of Ying Jewelry.

Of course, the overall direction has already been set by the planning and marketing departments, but he needed to hear Zhu Qianying’s opinion as the chief designer.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work! Do you have some time tonight? After work, let’s go for dinner together?"

Cheng Ye spent the whole afternoon busy reviewing the sales reports of various branches, so he had no time to browse the web. Therefore, he was completely unaware of the smokeless war that had taken place on Weibo.

"Cheng, I’m sorry, Yan Han will come to pick me up after work!"

In fact, Yan Han never said he would pick Zhu Qianying up after work, but when she met Cheng Ye’s eyes full of hope, she said this without thinking.

In the past, when she was still uncertain about her emotions towards Yan Han, she refused Cheng Ye so resolutely. Now that she has decided to start anew with Yan Han, she can’t even give Cheng Ye the slightest illusion.

"Oh... is that so? Then let’s plan another day!" Cheng Ye couldn’t hide his disappointment, and the smile on his face immediately became somewhat forced.

"Cheng, that Miss Zhang who drove you back this morning, she seems pretty nice!"

This was not Zhu Qianying being nosy, but the fact that everyone in the store knew that Miss Zhang was recently pursuing Cheng Ye very aggressively.

Cheng Ye was driven back by Miss Zhang in the morning, and the shop assistants were even teasing him about whether he was going to have a "boss lady" soon.

Zhu Qianying didn’t join in the teasing at that time, and she was acquainted with Miss Zhang.

Miss Zhang, the third daughter of the Zhang family, which ranks second among L City’s ten wealthy tycoons, was 26 years old and had just returned from studying abroad. She works in the family business, is a sharp and decisive woman who is well-respected by others.

Therefore, when she spoke these words to Cheng Ye, it was not out of gossip, but genuine concern.

"Ying Zi...", Cheng Ye frowned slightly and then explained.

"I had a meeting with Miss Zhang and her two brothers last night, then I drank too much, so I stayed at their hotel. This morning, I had breakfast with them. Subsequently, her brothers went back to their company and as she was on the way, she dropped me. You shouldn’t misunderstand."

Zhu Qianying wanted to say that whether she misunderstood or not wasn’t really important.

But it would hurt him to say it straight, so after deliberation, she said,

"Cheng, what I said earlier wasn’t about what happened this morning, but about Miss Zhang. Honestly, she’s one of the few practical rich ladies I know from L City, and she has a really nice personality."

The relationship between her and Cheng Ye had always been a superior-subordinate one, of course, privately they were still good friends too.

However, now that the mention of each other’s friends of opposite sex made things a little awkward.

Cheng Ye was trying to explain that his relationship with Miss Zhang was not the ambiguous relationship guessed by the employees.

While Zhu Qianying, standing from the perspective of a good friend, sincerely thought that Cheng Ye could try and be friends with Zhang, giving each other a chance.

Yet her goodwill caused Cheng Ye to fall silent for a while, before finally speaking up.

"Ying Zi, I understand what you’re saying, but feelings can’t be forced, isn’t this something you understand better than anyone?"

Zhu Qianying didn’t know how to tell Cheng Ye that she had made the decision to start over with Yan Han just shortly before.

As a good friend, she didn’t want him to always be an understudy in her life.

She wanted him to find a woman who understood him, pampered him, cherished him, and took good care of him. She wanted him to live his own life properly rather than secretly following the changes in her relationship with Yan Han and waiting for an opportunity.

"Cheng, I want you to be happy!" Zhu Qianying looked at Cheng Ye and said sincerely and earnestly.

Cheng Ye nodded, indicating he understood.

"Ying Zi, feelings are mutual, you don’t need to feel sorry or that you owe me anything. You too, just be happy!"

In fact, Cheng Ye had been able to clearly feel the changes in Zhu Qianying recently.

The Zhu Qianying he knew, even the little girl she was at sixteen, was serious and determined.

The shyness and sparkle typical of a young girl were rather hard to catch in her.

But recently, he felt a sweetness that belonged to a little girl from her.

He was not ignorant about relationships, couldn’t he see that these changes in Zhu Qianying were due to the nourishment of love? Which caused her to reveal her gentle side as a woman?

And the person who made her so gentle could only be Yan Han.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, Cheng Ye could see it clearly, he had lost!

Perhaps because of this frustration of unrequited love, he drank so much last night, hence causing Zhu Qianying’s misunderstanding.

Zhu Qianying left Cheng Ye’s office with mixed feelings. In order to avoid making herself a liar, she called Yan Han after returning to her office.

"Ying’er, what’s the matter?"

The call was picked up immediately, Zhu Qianying knew he was busy, so she didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"What time do you think you’ll finish work tonight?"

"Probably around nine, why, want me to pick you up?" Yan Han guessed correctly.

"Hmm, I’ll wait for you in the shop."

Since the nature of their relationship had changed, Zhu Qianying even stopped the formalities. As soon as the message was delivered, she said "Bye-bye" and hung up the phone promptly.
