“You were actually awake?!” Yan asked in shock, but the answer she got was actually…
“I was always awake.”
Yan was puzzled. “Then why didn’t you react even after I searched for so long?”
Han Qing’s voice sounded dull probably because he just woke up; his voice was still a little low and hoarse as he said, “I couldn’t bear to disturb you while you were busy searching.”
After hearing this, Yan felt that his words were full of sarcasm. She was so angry that she immediately got onto him and hit him. “You did it on purpose. You were awake but you didn’t let me know. Were you enjoying yourself looking at me searching the entire room and drawers while being all sneaky? They’re my things but you’re keeping them from me. Plus, not only are you refusing to return them to me, but you’re also making fun of me. Do you find it very fun?”
Han Qing’s expression was a little pleased before, but after Yan got angry, the smile in his eyes gradually faded. “It’s not fun. If possible, I wouldn’t want to confiscate your purse and ID. However, if I don’t do so, you’ll leave in the next second. What would I do if you left me?”
What would he do if I left him? For a brief moment, Yan was moved by his words. What would he do if I left him? Does he actually not know what he should do? Does he really need me? But… Even if he needed her, she could not bear to break her moral principles. It was fine before as she had not known about it, but since she already knew it now, what would she become if she continued to be with him? Thinking about this, Yan gritted her teeth and refuted, “You’ll do what you should. If I leave, you can go find another one.”
Upon hearing this, Han Qing’s complexion darkened as his grip became tighter. “Find another one?”
“Yes!” Yan nodded her head hard. “I don’t want you anymore, so you can go find a new one.”
“Are feelings something you can toss away when you feel like it? If that’s the case, why did you chase after me back then?”
“Yes,” Yan answered disapprovingly, “Initially, I was attracted to your looks, but now I’ve gotten sick of them, so I don’t want you anymore. Besides, I realized you don’t know how to care for your girlfriend, and is always busy with your own work. I always send stuff to your office, but you? What have you given me? What did you do when your employees were talking behind my back? Your fiancée…” Having gotten to this point, Yan suddenly stopped. Oh sh*t, why did I end up bringing up his fiancée? By saying it out loud, would I not be slapping myself in the face?
Han Qing also realized that there was something wrong with her words and he narrowed his eyes. “What fiancée?”
Yan turned her head, ignoring him. He knew it clearly in his heart but was pretending he did not by asking her. Does he really think I can be so easily bullied? “You know it well in your heart. You don’t need to ask me about it.”
After hearing this, Han Qing raised his eyebrows. At first, he thought she was upset and angry at him because he left after she prepared a birthday celebration for him. He even said hurtful words to her. Han Qing would naturally think she would want to break up with him because she was angry with him about that. Indeed, he was the one who hurt her first. Now, however, he realized that Yan did not seem to be angry because of the birthday incident.
Thinking of this, Han Qing asked her about his guess, “Isn’t it because of what happened on my birthday that you suddenly asked to break up?”
The birthday incident? Even though she had prepared it for a very long time and he just left after that, after hearing from Xu Yanwan that he never celebrated his birthday, she thought maybe she had just touched his sore points. As such, she even felt a little guilty about it. She was indeed sad, but she also wanted to know why he did not want to celebrate his birthday. It was just that she did not expect to hear the news that followed after about Xu Yanwan being his fiancée. It could be said to be a double whammy. If Xu Yanwan was not his fiancée, then she might not have taken the words she said to heart. However, she cared very much about that one sentence. ‘I thought you’ve managed to change his thoughts about celebrating his birthday. Since the both of you are a couple, shouldn’t he have told you about this?’
Seeing that Yan was not answering, Han Qing clasped her shoulders. “Well?”
Yan raised her head and met his eyes. “You already know about these matters very well, so why do you keep asking me about it? Do you think it’s fun, or do you want to humiliate me even more?”
These words made Han Qing very certain that she did not break up with him over the incident on his birthday. “You mentioned fiancée earlier. What’s that about?”
Yan’s eyes widened in astonishment. She wanted to speak, but she suppressed her urge. Finally, she laughed with anger. “What’s that about? That’s your fiancée, so why are you asking me about her? How do I know what’s going on?!” After that, she aggressively swatted his hands away while her voice sounded a little hysterical as she spoke, “You obviously have a fiancée, but you’re still spewing nonsense in front of me saying things like you’ve acknowledged me to be the person you’ll spend your life with. Han Qing, you’re so hypocritical!”
Han Qing was stunned and speechless. After a long silence, his voice sounded rather helpless. “Who told you that I have a fiancée?”
Yan’s breathing was hitched from being too angry, but when she heard these words, she was stunned. She looked at Han Qing who was before her. “What do you mean?”
“So, you want to break up with me because of this matter?” Han Qing did not answer her but asked yet another question before laughing. “You silly girl…”
Yan was absolutely lost. What’s going on? What does he mean by that sentence? He’s not admitting to having a fiancée? No, that’s not right. It wouldn’t matter if it was someone else who had said it, but Xu Yanwan said it herself and even sent me a WeChat message.
Thinking of this, Yan bit her lower lip. “Don’t lie to me. Do you dare say that you don’t have a fiancée?!”
Han Qing looked helpless. “I’ve always been single. Where would I have found a fiancée?”
“Then what about Xu Yanwan? Isn’t she your fiancée?”
Only silence followed. After the name was brought up, Han Qing’s eyes flashed with a daze. “Yanwan? Isn’t she my Uncle Xu’s daughter? I told you that before; how did she end up becoming my fiancée?”
Yanwan? “You’re even calling her name so affectionately!” Yan gritted her teeth angrily.
“As affectionate as I am with you, Yan?” Han Qing bent down, his forehead touching her fair forehead. At that moment, his voice became softer. “If you’re angry about this and want to break up with me, then you’ve wrongfully accused me.”
“Wrongfully accused you?”
“Yeah.” Han Qing nodded. “She’s not my fiancée. At most, we grew up together, so our relationship is slightly better than others. However, nothing is going on between us. I don’t even consider her as my younger sister.”
Yan thought he would say that he only treated Xu Yanwan as his younger sister, but who knew he would actually say that?
“I’ve always been looking for my biological younger sister and I have no regard for others. When it comes to the Xu family’s daughter, she’s at most only my childhood playmate.”
