The two of them didnât say anything during breakfast. Anhao didnât ask him why he was here or how he was doing.
After all, he had not seen him since he left Henghai City. However, Zuo Hancheng did not take the time to do anything to Yi Group. Perhaps Yi Zeyang had been able to stand up under the silent suppression of Shengling Group. At least Zuo Hancheng did not continue to pressure him. Yi Zeyang did not look down and out. Instead, he was still dressed in a suit and looked like a social elite.
After Anhao ate a few dumplings and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, Yi Zeyang was also eating. When he saw that Anhao seemed to be unable to eat anymore and was drinking water while looking at him, he put down his chopsticks and smiled,ââHow have you been recently? I havenât come to see you since I heard that youâve returned to the country. I had to go to the airport to pick up a few important clients from abroad this morning. I didnât expect to see you suddenly when I passed by.â
âSince you were going to pick someone up, why did you suddenly stop to treat me to breakfast?â
Yi Zeyang smiled.â Itâs fine. Iâll just give my assistant a call to pick it up. I didnât have anything to do today and planned to pick it up myself, but now I have something to do.ââ
It was easy for her to hear the hidden meaning in his words. She smiled and did not reply. She only took another sip of water.
âDo you already know your background?âYi Zeyang suddenly said.
Anhao paused for a moment and turned to look at him. She didnât answer but asked,ââYou know about it too?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
â When I first went to the US to investigate, I didnât have as many connections as Zuo Hancheng. I only managed to find out about the An family, but I couldnât find out more.ââ But looking at the changes in you,â Yi Zeyang said softly,â you must have met the An family. How was it? Did you get the reason?â Why did Auntie Anping send you to the Gu family back then?â
âI didnât ask, and I didnât want to ask. Itâs enough to know my background. Iâm tired of hearing those reasons.âAnhao seemed to be holding the glass of water casually as she said with a smile,ââ Whatever the reason is, it must be because they have no choice. Rather than explaining, itâs more like they want to apologize to me. But I donât want to hear anyone apologize to me now. The trajectory of my growth has already been like this. If Zuo Hancheng hadnât appeared in time and corrected me, I might not have been able to live like this. So, whatâs the use of them apologizing to me? The elders had their helplessness and their past, but I also had my own innocence. I was an independent person, not someone who could be sent to wherever I wanted. Besides, there were some things in the past that I didnât want to deliberately think about anymore.â
Yi Zeyang looked at her for a long time.â Is Zuo Hancheng really unable to return to A City because of the Zuo familyâs matters, orâ¦â What happened?â
Anhao paused for a moment and looked at him with her bright eyes. After looking at him for a while, she did not choose to hide anything from Yi Zeyang.
No matter what, the person in front of her was the person who had been her guiding light when she was young, even though they had separated in such a hurry.
âDo you know about the explosion in New York five months ago?âAnhao said.
Yi Zeyang didnât say anything more. He just looked at her and nodded slowly. However, it seemed like he didnât need to ask any more questions. He already knew the answer.
Anhao didnât continue to say too much. After she took another sip of water, she said softly,ââHe will come back. I believe that he will definitely come back.â
âIf he doesnât come back, what are you going to do? Youâre pregnant now. If I hadnât asked Mobai about this the last time I saw him, Iâm afraid I wouldnât have known about your situation after you came back.â
Anhao did not answer.
She had never thought about what she would do if Zuo Hancheng never came back.
It was as if her instinct had always been to wait endlessly.
When he returned, he would return one dayâ¦
Suddenly, Yi Zeyang raised his hand and placed it on her hand. Anhao paused for a moment and did not avoid it, but her eyes clearly understood what he meant. Without waiting for him to speak, she said,ââBrother Zeyang, do you think that when people are young, there will always be someone they like during the budding period of their youth? However, when they grow up, they realize that itâs just the throbbing of their youth and not for a lifetime.â
Yi Zeyang chuckled.â Anhao, donât be nervous. I donât have any other thoughts. Iâm just worried about your current situation. I know how much you love Zuo Hancheng.â I just want to tell you that if Zuo Hancheng doesnât come back, I can take care of you. You can look for me if you need anything.â
Anhao looked up at him.â
âQi Weiran and I are divorced. The last time you saw us at Heng Hai City, we got divorced less than half a month later.â
â..â
â It was a peaceful divorce without any disputes. Even though the Qi family is in decline now, they still have their dignity. Even though they ended up in a divorce, they didnât cause any trouble. Itâs just that Weiran hugged me and cried. Unfortunately, thereâs no way to salvage it. I tried to continue this marriage before, but unfortunately, I didnât succeed in the end. So, itâs better to divorce and let each of us live our own lives.â
Anhao suddenly pulled her hand away from his hand, but at the same time, she placed it on the back of his hand and held it back.ââ Even if youâre divorced, you donât have to take care of me. Youâre the CEO of the Yi Group. There are so many girls lining up to marry you. Why are you wasting time with a pregnant woman like me?â
Yi Zeyang looked at her with a smile across the dining table. He raised his hand and stroked her hair out of habit. He understood her rejection and did not force her anymore.
*****
The next day.
When Anhao went to Shengling Group, she was no longer dressed as thickly as she usually did, nor was she wrapped up like a bean bun. She only wore a loose and warm wool coat and a hat of the same color to go to the company. When Lin Qing saw her get out of the car, he couldnât help but laugh and say,ââ Donât say that our Anhao is really like a female elite nowâ¦â
Anhao immediately gave Lin Qing a look, meaning that she was not allowed to laugh.
The meeting went very smoothly. Because they had to take care of Anhaoâs health, Mobai and Lin Qing asked Anhao to return to the CEOâs office to rest after the general process was over. They said that they would go to the office to negotiate with her after everything was over.
This was the first time Anhao had walked into the presidentâs office after returning to the country. The office was the same as when she had left. There were no changes, and it was so clean that it seemed like someone came in and cleaned it every day.
After looking around, she quickly put away her memories. This was the company, and she did not want others to see her emotions. She walked to the desk and sat down where Zuo Hancheng had sat before. Then, she stared at the screens in the office and wondered if he had used this computer in the office to log into Mr. Vâs email.
She turned on her computer and searched for Mr. Vâs email history, but there was no sign of Mr. Vâs email login. After hesitating for a moment, she logged into her email with a sense of loss. She looked at it casually and was about to close it when she was suddenly stunned. She raised her head again to look at the emails that had been sent. Some of them showed the status of-
