In the end, Han Qing and Yan only stayed for a night at the hotel before heading back the next day. However, this time, they did not take the train as Han Qing had booked flight tickets for both of them. The young lady was in his arms when he was booking the tickets. She leaned on his arm and suddenly asked, “Why are you booking flight tickets? Did you have a hard time taking the train with me?”
Upon hearing this, Han Qing’s fingers paused while he looked at her from the side. “You want to take the train? Sure, I’ll accompany you.”
“No, no, no.” Yan shook her head. “Let’s take the plane. It’s too noisy on the train.” Besides, it would be annoying if they met someone like that woman from before.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes!”
As such, Han Qing booked two flight tickets back home. Yan felt awkward on the plane. “Well, I told my parents that I went out to let off some steam by myself. I told them I’ll head home when I’m done but now I’m heading back after only a couple of days. Would it be a little too…”
Han Qing was helping her fasten her seatbelt. He curled the corners of his lips after hearing it. “Just tell them the truth.”
“Tell them the truth? That’s… impossible. It’s so awkward.”
“Awkward? What’s there to be awkward about? I’ll accompany you. Let me do the explanation.”
“No way, no way!” It would be much more awkward if he was going back with her. Yan immediately shook her head in disagreement to reject his proposal and replied dully, “I think I should go back myself.” She then asked again, “What time will we arrive?”
“We should be arriving at 12 midnight.”
We’re arriving at midnight? It’ll be very late by then. I’ll probably interrupt them when I get home.
“Let’s go to my place after. You can go back and explain to them tomorrow.”
“Okay. Sounds like a plan.”
Although the both of them had reconciled, Yan was still feeling a little awkward after what had happened from before. In short, the atmosphere did not seem as good as before they argued. Therefore, both of them did not talk to each other when there were no longer any conversation topics. The lights went off as the plane took off. Han Qing’s hand went to grab hers while his palms passed his warmth to her. “Don’t worry.” His words made her feel calm. She did not think about other things after that. Her mind went blank.
When the plane landed, Mr. Nan came to pick up Han Qing from the airport. He left after sending both of them back to the private villa. Han Qing was pulling Yan’s luggage while she walked beside him. Suddenly, she started sneezing on the way. “Ah-choo! Ah-choo!” The sneezes came one after another, and Yan was puzzled. “What’s going on?” She rubbed her itchy nose and asked, “Am I getting a cold?”
Han Qing paused after hearing this and turned around to look at her. “Have I passed you the illness?”
Yan asked, “You caught a cold?”
“I was caught in the rain a few days ago, so just a little.” His body was strong and he recovered very fast. However, he probably had not fully recovered yet. Furthermore, they were always together these few days, kissing and hugging. She probably caught the cold from him.
After hearing that he had the flu, Yan felt her heart ache while she walked up to him and grabbed onto his arm. “Then, are you fine now?”
“Would I be able to follow you to such a faraway place if I wasn’t okay?” Han Qing rubbed her nose indifferently.
“Did I actually get infected by you?”
“To be safe, we should go get some medicine for you later.”
Yan did not think of it as a big deal and nodded in agreement. Until Han Qing brought the medicine and warm water to her, she looked at the medicine in her hand and recalled that she was pregnant. She was already pregnant, so she could not simply take medication. Upon thinking about this, Yan immediately said, “I-I don’t need it.”
“Huh?” Han Qing thought she was afraid of taking the medicine and coaxed her softly, “It’s just a flu medicine. It’s not bitter. Just down it with some water.”
“No, I can’t. I don’t want to.” Yan got on the bed and went under the blanket. “It’s just a few sneezes. It might not be a cold. I don’t want to take the medicine.”
Han Qing did not know what to do with her. This little brat already agreed earlier, so why is she suddenly refusing to take it?
Yan covered herself with a blanket while feeling moody. She wanted to tell Han Qing about the news of her pregnancy during his birthday to surprise him, but there were too many things that happened after that. Although they had reconciled, it would be too sudden to tell him about it now. Let’s just wait a little longer.
However, Han Qing did not know about her condition and kept persuading her to take the medicine. Yan rejected it determinedly, and finally, Han Qing gave up forcing her. He just let her drink some warm water. He then tucked her in with a blanket and let her sleep well.
Yan was soundly asleep after she said goodnight to him. Han Qing became speechless and helpless after he heard her breathing evenly, realizing that this girl was able to sleep more compared to before. Recently, all she ever did was sleep.
…
Back then, Xu Yanwan had seen Yan walking out with the front desk receptionist. She could not help but follow behind the receptionist from the back and saw her looking all mysterious. After that, Yan’s complexion changed. She probably guessed that the front desk receptionist had told Yan she was Han Qing’s fiancée. She never wanted to tell Yan about her engagement with Han Qing from when they were young. However, since someone wanted her to know, then it was none of her business. The text message later was also sent after being overcome by desire and hope.
Xu Yanwan felt a little regret after that. She understood clearly what that WeChat message meant. Anyone who received the message would overthink it. However, she did not want to explain it further. She was being selfish. She had lost everything. When she lost her company and her parents, she came back to look for Han Qing. At that time, she felt that all she had left was Han Qing. However… Alas, she even lost Han Qing. I have nothing at all now, so why do I need to treat others nicely?
The next day, Xu Yanwan went to the company and got to know that Han Qing was not in. Everyone in the company was discussing with each other and even started hearing rumors about President Han breaking up with his girlfriend. This sort of rumor came from none other than the front desk receptionist herself.
Therefore, when someone asked her about it, Xu Yanwan acted as if it was none of her business. She said coldly, “How would I know if they broke up or not? Let’s not talk about this during working hours.”
She heard her colleagues talking from behind her back as she turned around and left.
“Tsk. Why is she pretending? She must be happy to hear that the both of them have broken up. Didn’t she join Han Group for President Han?
“That’s right. If it’s not because she likes President Han, why would she come to Han Group out of so many other companies?”
“You all better stop. She was initially President Han’s fiancée. President Han was only playing with the mistress. Xu Yanwan is still the actual fiancée.”
Xu Yanwan smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. After hearing such words for a long time, she almost genuinely believed that she was the real fiancée while Yan was just a mistress. However, this was not the truth.
