Dongfang Yi gritted her teeth silently, her gaze falling on Pei Qinghan. Just at that mont, her eyes t his, causing her heart to skip a beat. She discreetly averted her eyes and placed her hand over her chest, feeling her heart race.
Pei Qinghan slightly curled his lips, his smile exuding a hint of cold-blooded ruthlessness, yet under the glow of the lights, he appeared as gentle as jade, an elegant gentleman, making countless won’s hearts flutter.
The engagent party ended, and the most talked-about topic was the speculation about the relationship between Pei Qinghan and Ji Yunya. However, both of them behaved openly, as if any sordid thoughts imposed on them would be a desecration. Moreover, Yan Song, the person involved, didn’t say anything, so what could outsiders say? They could only secretly admire Ji Yunya’s good fortune, as now she had the Pei Family as another strong backing.
After sending all the guests off, Yun Ya was exhausted. Yan Song took off his coat and wrapped it around her, holding her tenderly. Zhuang Xiyue walked over and said, "Ah Song, you should take Yun Ya back to rest first; I’ll take care of things here."
Yan Song nodded, picked up Yun Ya, and left.
"Let’s go." The car window slowly rose, blocking the man’s gaze. A sigh softly floated into the dark night sky.
Fu Bai looked at the man’s sowhat lancholic expression, shaking his head inwardly, thinking, why trouble yourself, Brother Han?
"Has everything related to Guo Shan been taken care of?" Pei Qinghan asked lightly.
At the ntion of business, Fu Bai imdiately sat up straight and said, "Rest assured, Brother Han, everything has been handled cleanly."
"Inform Yan Song of this developnt, he’ll know what to do next. Let’s erase all our traces." After speaking, he leaned back in the chair and pinched his brow.
"Yes."
Yan Song placed Yun Ya on the bed, wiped her face with a towel, tidied everything up, and carefully closed the door as he left. Yellow Hair appeared at the door at so point, approached, and said in a low voice, "Boss, everything’s been taken care of."
Yan Song walked out briskly, his gaze cold, "Hand them over to the dia."
This was too ruthless, pushing soone to a dead end, but the thought of Yellow Hair was instantly dismissed. If you don’t push others to a dead end, the next mont, there might be a cliff beneath your feet.

"What exactly does Mr. Qin an? Isn’t he the one who usually doesn’t care about these matters? Why did he send a congratulatory gift?"
In the study of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Jian asked sharply.
Dongfang Yi frowned slightly and said calmly, "Father, don’t worry. I’ve already sent soone to investigate. Things might not be as we think."
"We have to prepare for the worst in everything. You don’t understand Qin Zhongwen; he’s different from those before him. He won’t be easily controlled by us. His ambitions are great. Now that he’s showing gestures towards the Yan Family, does it an he wants to bring the Yan Family onto his ship?" Dongfang Jian analyzed.
"Why be afraid of him, Father? Without the support of our Dongfang Family, Qin Zhongwen would still struggle to move an inch. I don’t believe he won’t obediently co on board."
"You’re thinking too simply. Our Dongfang Family and the Yan Family are like the left and right pri ministers of an ancient emperor, used to balance each other. But once this balance is broken, one side is bound to be annexed by the other. Although our Dongfang Family is extensive, the Yan Family is deeply rooted. If we insist on resisting, it would be a lose-lose situation, and that’s the worst strategy."
"What does Father suggest then?" Dongfang Yi asked.
"For now, we can only watch and wait. Stop ddling in your cousin’s affairs imdiately. I always knew this kid would cause big trouble sooner or later. I hope I’ve overthought...."
Watch and wait? Dongfang Yi’s eyes flickered.
Yun Ya woke up naturally the next day. From today, she would be Brother Yan’s rightful fiancée.
Facing the sun, she smiled. Ah Yun said, "The weather is really warm today. It seems spring is truly coming. That’s wonderful."
Yun Ya put on a woolen coat over her sweater and didn’t feel cold. After breakfast, she spent so ti with the old master and expressed her wish to move out. The old master couldn’t help but shed tears.
Yun Ya also felt a deep sense of reluctance. Her great-grandfather was so good to her, and she truly couldn’t bear to leave him. But living in this large courtyard felt uncomfortable to her. She finally promised her great-grandfather that she would visit often, and only then did he reluctantly agree.
Leaving Rongju Garden, Yun Ya saw the withered trees by the roadside sprouting new buds. After enduring an entire winter of harsh treatnt, the world was revived under the sunlight. Spring had truly arrived.
