Chapter 435: 435: Probably Haven't Been Resting Well Recently_1

However, did he want to be with Yufei Jian because he loved her?

No, what he felt towards Yufei Jian wasn’t love, it was interest. He was interested in her, and that’s why he wanted to be with her.

But he, who had never pursued a girl, didn’t realize that love often started with interest.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and the atmosphere was filled by silence.

The car arrived at the Yan’s doorstep. Tianling Ruan got out of the car and walked over to Yan Yue’s side to open the door for her.

Yan Yue got out of the car, not eager to go in straight away.

She looked at him sorrowfully and smiled slightly, “Ling, I will wait for you. I will always be waiting.”

With a slightly furrowed brow, Tianling Ruan said, “You should go in.”

“Take care on the road.” After she finished speaking, Yan Yue brushed past him, her body suddenly leaning heavily on him.

Tianling Ruan quickly steadied her, asking with concern, “What’s wrong?”

Yan Yue had briefly fainted, but soon she came to. She rubbed her forehead, weakly saying, “I’m fine. I just haven’t been sleeping well lately.”

“Should we see a doctor?”

“No need.” She pulled his hand away and walked into the house without looking back.

Only after Tianling Ruan saw her go inside did he drive off.

Turning around, Yan Yue saw the car had already driven away.

Yan’s father happened to come out from the living room and, upon seeing her there, said, “Yueyue, I am really helpless with Xu Man’s case. The evidence of her ordering the murder is solid. There’s no way to get her off the hook, all we can do is mitigate her sentence.”

Yan Yue nodded, uttering indifferently, “So be it. Dad, you’ve done your best, and the Xu Family will understand your inability to do anything.”

“Indeed, that Xu Man did such a thing, you are the only one who would try to save her. I stepped in only because of you. The Xu Family fully appreciates your efforts on behalf of Xu Man. They even gifted you a new apartment in the city centre. I gave the key to your mom; go and take a look when you have time.”

This was a clandestine bribe from the Xu Family to the Yan Family.

Yan Yue had grown used to this sort of thing and nodded coolly, “I understand… Dad, there’s something I want to tell you.”

“What is it?”

Yan Yue took his arm, smiling as she asked, “When will you let me take over the company? I want to start familiarizing myself with the work as early as possible to help share your workload.”

Even though her father was a Deputy Mayor, he secretly owned a business under his wife’s name. However, all the decisions about the company were made by him.

Only a few people knew about his secret business, as it was a small company and he rarely used his political influence to gain business advantages. Those who knew turned a blind eye.

Yan’s father smiled with satisfaction, “You’ve only just come back, right now your main focus should be on taking care of yourself. Besides, you’re about to get married, and I plan to give you the company as a dowry when you do.”

Yan Yue hadn’t mentioned to her family about Tianling Ruan’s proposal for a divorce, and she hoped the Ruan Family would remain silent on the matter.

In her view, she was definitely going to marry Tianling Ruan; it was just a temporary setback.

However, it was uncertain when this setback would be overcome.

“Dad, please let me start getting familiar with the business matters early. Otherwise, it would be too late when I take over, and I’d be in over my head.”

“What is there to worry about? Your father’s still young and can help manage the company. However, if you’re bored at home, you can go to work for practice.”

“Thank you, Dad!” Yan Yue burst out happily.
