Yu Zhen followed Yin Yan out of the coffee shop. With hesitation, he asked, \u201cIsn\u2019t it bad to just leave like this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

They could ignore Han Ya, but it was not very nice to ignore the host and other classmates.<\/span><\/p>

If there is a misunderstanding, it would be fine to clear up the misunderstanding. Leaving like this doesn\u2019t seem very good.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s no problem.\u201d Yin Yan pulled open the front passenger door. When Yu Zhen was seated, Yin Yan leaned down and said, \u201cI\u2019ll explain it to them.\u201d With a tilt of his head, he gestured behind him. Then he straightened up and closed the door.<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen looked in the indicated direction and saw that the host of the reunion had also come out of the coffee shop. Feeling more at ease, he quietly waited for Yin Yan to finish speaking with Fu Wenhua.<\/span><\/p>

“Yin Yan, wait a minute!”<\/span><\/p>

Seeing that they hadn\u2019t left yet, Fu Wenhua ran over. Letting out a big breath, he said, \u201cSorry, it was my thoughtlessness that caused this. I\u2019ll speak with Ai Rui. Don\u2019t take things to heart. And Han Ya…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan raised a hand to stop him. He inclined his head towards the car behind him and then pulled Fu Wenhua aside.<\/span><\/p>

When his gaze landed on Yu Zhen, Fu Wenhua tactfully stopped talking. In a position where they couldn\u2019t be heard and their expressions couldn\u2019t be seen, he asked in a near whisper, \u201cWhat\u2019s really going on? What\u2019s happened with Han Ya in the few years that I\u2019ve not seen you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNot much. Just things that would be unseemly if mentioned out loud.\u201d Yin Yan\u2019s eyes lowered slightly. His voice was low and strained like Fu Wenhua\u2019s moments ago. \u201cIt\u2019s true that our relationship was quite good for a while after I returned with her to the country. But when I pursued her, she kept giving me excuses to say she wasn\u2019t good enough for me. Then, through me, she met another man, Wu Xuan. The two had an ambiguous relationship, and she said that Wu Xuan was pursuing her and it made her feel troubled. \u201d<\/span><\/p>

Surprised, Fu Wenhua asked, \u201cYou mean she met someone through you and got together with him?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThat\u2019s not quite it either. In reality, both that man and I were strung along by her. Nevermind, it\u2019s just messy feelings. It\u2019s irritating to talk about.\u201d Yin Yan acted as if he didn\u2019t want to talk about it anymore. \u201cWhat did Han Ya say about the situation between us? I didn\u2019t expect this kind of reception from you guys today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Being deceived by the person you like, and the person was trying to have one foot in two boats … No man could tolerate this kind of thing.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Fu Wenhua frowned. He felt that he had been wronged and replied, \u201cShe said that you blamed her for the accident. After that, you became confused and married a man you had only met twice. We didn\u2019t know that you weren\u2019t together with her. We thought you blamed her for the accident, abandoned her, and two-timed to find someone else.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cShe actually said that\u2026 No wonder Ai Rui had that attitude with me.\u201d Yin Yan made a helpless expression and continued, \u201cBefore the accident, I found out that she was together with Wu Xuan, so I wanted to break things off with her. But she got drunk and lied to me that she had broken up with Wu Xuan. She called me to pick her up and I did. Then she made a fuss while drunk and the accident happened.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThat…\u201d Fu Wenhua was speechless. After a long pause, he finally said, \u201cHow did she become like this…\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cProbably misled by money. Wu Xuan\u2019s family has better connections than mine.\u201d As he spoke, Yin Yan looked to the car with warmth in his eyes. \u201cYou\u2019re all my friends so I hope you don\u2019t misunderstand my husband. It\u2019s true that I hadn\u2019t met Yu Zhen more than twice before our marriage. But, you know, on the day of the accident it was he who saved me. At that time, I thought I would die. The accident happened at a remote village and his family home was nearby. On top of that, it was the day of his grandfather\u2019s burial. In the middle of the night, though he was timid, cried a lot, and was trembling all over, he wrapped up my wounds. He called the ambulance and used a filial piety belt to tie up the wounds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

As he spoke, he couldn\u2019t resist smiling. He looked back at Fu Wenhua and continued, \u201cAfterwards, I went to find him to say my thanks, but he thought I was a ghost. Wenhua, he really is a very good person. The best thing I have done in my life was to take him away and get him to sign the marriage certificates as soon as I realized that I had good feelings towards him. He hasn\u2019t realized it yet, but I\u2019m slowly pursuing him now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAt the time of the accident, I saved Han Ya, but he saved me. That was probably heaven\u2019s will. But what was disappointing was that, after the accident, although Han Ya has said lots of fake apologies, she hasn\u2019t once said thank you to the person who saved the both of us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHer heart is too cold and lonely. I can\u2019t warm it up for her. Wenhua, right now I only want to spend good days with Yu Zhen and stay with him while he slowly understands my intentions and truly comes to like me too. In the past, I didn\u2019t want to bring up these feelings, and I was happy that you guys thought I was a couple with Han Ya. I was giving myself a false sense of happiness. But I can\u2019t do that now. I have Yu Zhen. I don\u2019t want my past immaturity to cause him to be slandered by my friends.\u201c\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Fu Wenhua had rarely ever heard Yin Yan talk at length about his feelings like this. He felt Yin Yan had changed and sighed. He patted Yin Yan\u2019s arm and said as much. \u201cYou\u2019ve changed a lot… It\u2019s fine as long as you\u2019re well. I\u2019ll meet with you at another time and we can have a proper gathering then. Bring Yu Zhen as well. I\u2019ll get to formally know him then. Send him my apologies for today. I wasn\u2019t considerate enough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s alright, he\u2019s a good-natured person. He won\u2019t take offense.\u201d Yin Yan returned the pat on the arm and then said a simple goodbye.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As he watched Yin Yan\u2019s car leave, Fu Wenhua sighed again. He looked back towards the coffee shop and, with a frown, returned to it.<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen didn\u2019t know what Yin Yan said to Fu Wenhua and it wasn\u2019t easy to bring up, so he awkwardly decided to trust in Yin Yan\u2019s decisions. <\/span>Just let him deal with it as he sees fit.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>

They first returned to the apartment, cleaned up a little, and fed the plants. Then they returned to the villa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Only the housekeepers were home. Yin Le was about to start school again so he had been invited out by his friends to buy supplies for cram school. Yin Hexiang and Qiu Feiqian were both at work.<\/span><\/p>

Hearing that the two had returned home, Qiu Feiqian left the office early and hurried back. She looked over Yu Zhen thoroughly but only commented that he had become thinner and needed to be fed with nourishing food.<\/span><\/p>

Not long after, Yin Le and Yin Hexiang also returned. After a few days of separation, the family was finally able to sit down to have a proper meal together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThis year, really…\u201d Qiu Feiqian sighed. Worried that her words would make Yu Zhen uncomfortable, she went quiet after only finishing half of her sentence. She looked at Yin Yan and said, \u201cXiao Yan, you can follow up on that project in a couple of days. Stay at home with Xiao Zhen first.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan shook his head and replied, \u201cThe construction schedule can\u2019t afford to wait any longer. I contacted the architect before the New Year. The drafts of the new designs should be out in the next few days, so I can\u2019t delay it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou can get someone to handle it in your stead for a few days. Why don\u2019t I call Xiping back? He\u2019s already been working on projects abroad for a while now,\u201d Qiu Feiqian persuaded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Weng Xiping was a manager for the Yin family. He wasn\u2019t a manager of the household staff, rather he managed all of the Yin family\u2019s personal property, real estate, family doctors, lawyers, private financial advisors, and all other non-official matters and personnel.<\/span><\/p>

The end of each year was always the busiest time for him. He visited places in and out of the country, checked and arranged personnel nationwide, and dealt with settlements for the prior year\u2019s income with legal counsels. He also communicated the plans for the upcoming year as well as handling the Yin family\u2019s real estate and personal property.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At the end of last year, when the Yin family had returned to B City, Weng Xiping had immediately left the country to check on the outstation assets and to connect with the lawyers.<\/span><\/p>

Realizing that Qiu Feiqian was asking Yin Yan to take personal leave for his sake, Yu Zhen felt embarrassed and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s alright, Mom. I\u2019ve already recovered so I don\u2019t need someone to be with me. Yin Yan has also rested for a long time.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After freeloading and idling away his time with nothing to do, Yu Zhen was slightly ashamed. His face was not thick enough to delay Yin Yan\u2019s work even more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Still hesitant, Qiu Feiqian wanted to persuade them again but Yin Yan spoke up first. \u201cYu Zhen will come with me to the construction site. He has professional knowledge on flowers and plants. He studied landscape and garden planning at university, so I\u2019m planning to leave him in charge of the center\u2019s gardens. \u201d<\/span><\/p>

En? W-who’s responsible for them?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yu Zhen turned to stare at Yin Yan.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Yan glanced at him and relayed a secret message.<\/span><\/p>

[Neutralizing the negative energy.]<\/span><\/p>

Oh yeah. I have to neutralize the negative energy at the construction site.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Yu Zhen\u2019s eyes returned to their normal size and looked at Qiu Feiqian instead. \u201cEn\u2026 I-I\u2019d like to help out at the construction site.\u201d <\/span>Why do I feel like I\u2019m just freeloading on the Yin family\u2019s resources? Hugging Yin Yan\u2019s big thighs seems to have given me an unfair advantage.<\/span><\/i><\/p>

\u201cHelp out at the construction site?\u201d Qiu Feiqian\u2019s focus was on this part of the sentence. She looked at Yu Zhen\u2019s clean and elegant appearance and then thought about the environment of a construction site. Unhappy, she said, \u201cIf Yu Zhen wants to deal with the garden landscaping, he can start off as an architect\u2019s assistant. He can gain experience from seasoned landscape designers. Being at the office is better than being at the construction site – \u201d<\/span><\/p>

“Cough!”<\/span><\/p>

Yin Hexiang suddenly gave a low cough. He gave Qiu Feiqian a pat underneath the table. He looked at Yu Zhen and said, \u201cGo ahead. Do the job well and pay attention to safety. If there are any problems bring them up to us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Yu Zhen nodded quickly and earnestly promised, “I will. Thank you, Dad.”<\/span><\/p>

Satisfied, Yin Hexiang nodded.<\/span><\/p>

Qiu Feiqian stared at Yin Hexiang with an accusing glare. <\/span>What\u2019s the meaning of this? That\u2019s the complete opposite tune!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

\u201cTwo kids working together is just right for cultivating feelings, especially when they\u2019re grown adults. While they\u2019re young, they can work hard and gain discipline. That way, they\u2019ll be able to take on bigger responsibilities in the future,\u201d Yin Hexiang explained and gave her a meaningful look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Cultivate feelings?<\/span><\/i><\/p>

Thinking about how Yin Yan and Yu Zhen had discussed working together, Qiu Feiqian had a change of heart and her unhappiness disappeared. She glanced at Yin Hexiang from the corner of her eye and then rewarded him with a piece of meat.<\/span><\/p>

Yin Hexiang ate the meat with an outwardly serious expression, but he was filled with happiness.<\/span><\/p>

Sitting in a corner, Yin Le looked at his parents and then at his brother and \u201csister-in-law\u201d. He huffed before stuffing a bit of steamed meat into his mouth. He chewed with a lot of force, gnashing his teeth together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Humph!<\/span><\/i><\/p>

When school starts, I\u2019ll go find Bu Lian and play every day!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
