Chapter 2401 - 2402: Deciding for Yourself
When Ye Xunhuan returned to the Qin family, Qiu Ruoxi was still there, and had not left. She had been waiting for Ye Xunhuan to come back.
As Ye Xunhuan returned with Olivia, Qiu Ruoxi felt a hint of surprise, astonishment, and confusion in her heart. However, the excitement quickly suppressed those feelings, and she asked Ye Xunhuan with concern, "Are you alright?"
Even though Ye Xunhuan was back, Qiu Ruoxi could see that his complexion was a bit pale, and there was a deep fatigue between his brows!
This instinctively made Qiu Ruoxi think that Ye Xunhuan might have been injured, otherwise he would not appear this way.
In the past, when Ye Xunhuan returned from a trip, though weary, he had never looked as exhausted as he did now.
Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head, looking at Qiu Ruoxi with affection, "It’s nothing, just a bit tired!"
Ye Xunhuan knew that he looked very weary now, and Qiu Ruoxi was neither blind nor foolish, so she naturally could see something was up.
Yet, even so, Ye Xunhuan didn’t tell Qiu Ruoxi the truth.
After all, he didn’t want Qiu Ruoxi to worry about him.
"Really?" Qiu Ruoxi still asked with some disbelief.
"Of course it’s true, just let me rest a bit and I’ll be fine." Ye Xunhuan said softly, "If you don’t believe me, ask Olivia, do you think I would lie to you, and would Olivia lie to you?"
Olivia understood Ye Xunhuan’s intent and immediately said, "Ruoxi, you don’t need to worry about him. He just hasn’t rested well these past few days, and after a fight, he’s just worn out. Let him rest well for a couple of days and he’ll be fine!"
Hearing Olivia say this, Qiu Ruoxi finally let her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, settle back into her chest.
These past few days, Qiu Ruoxi had constantly been concerned and worried about Ye Xunhuan.
After all, Ye Xunhuan was her husband. Although she did not know what Ye Xunhuan had been doing, Qiu Ruoxi knew it must have been something dangerous. Otherwise, he would not have been delayed in returning and only contacted her once.
"Where is Grandpa?" Ye Xunhuan changed the subject directly.
"Grandpa Wei called my grandfather out. I don’t know what for!"
Wei Sanqian probably took Qin Pojun out to discuss things related to Wei Zixu. After all, Wei Zixu’s girlfriend, Tang Wen, indeed has some issues.
Knowing this, Ye Xunhuan did not ask further questions.
"You two just got back, go and rest for a bit!" Qiu Ruoxi said softly, looking at Ye Xunhuan and Olivia.
As soon as she finished speaking, as if recalling something, Qiu Ruoxi added, "By the way, you’ve just returned and probably haven’t eaten well. Let me get you something to eat first, and you can rest after eating!"
Without observing what Ye Xunhuan and Olivia wanted to say, Qiu Ruoxi went to prepare some food for them.
Watching Qiu Ruoxi’s departing figure, Olivia said softly, "She’s much stronger than before now!"
As she spoke, Olivia slowly turned her gaze to Ye Xunhuan, "I remember when I first met her, you two were only nominally married!"
Hearing Olivia say this, a faint bitter smile appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face.
Indeed, as Olivia mentioned, at that time, he and Qiu Ruoxi were only nominally married, just in name. But as time passed, all that they went through together made them true partners, deeply in love!
Then, Ye Xunhuan exhaled slowly, and with deep satisfaction, said, "Life is indeed like a play, and a play like life!"
Olivia chuckled and said no more.
Soon after, Qiu Ruoxi prepared a meal for Ye Xunhuan and Olivia, who ate and then went to rest.
Once Ye Xunhuan and Olivia went to rest, Qiu Ruoxi sent a message to Qin Rumeng.
While Ye Xunhuan was away, not only was Qiu Ruoxi anxious and worried, but so was Qin Rumeng. Now that Ye Xunhuan returned, Qin Rumeng surely did not know yet; otherwise, she would likely have already come to the Qin family house.
So, Qiu Ruoxi sent a message to Qin Rumeng, informing her that Ye Xunhuan had returned.
Qin Rumeng was originally holding a meeting with the staff at Fenghua Group. Upon receiving Qiu Ruoxi’s message, she immediately ended the meeting early.
After the meeting, Qin Rumeng called Tang Yurou into her office.
"Auntie, why did you end the meeting early? Did something happen?" Tang Yurou asked, puzzled.
Since Tang Yurou followed Qin Rumeng to Beijing, she had undergone a drastic transformation.
Now, Tang Yurou was no longer the naive girl she was at Huatuo Group in Jiangzhong City. She had gained maturity and composure.
Moreover, in dealing with business affairs, Tang Yurou had become adept.
She was no longer the Tang Yurou of the past; her life had completely changed.
"Xunhuan has returned. I have to go and see him," Qin Rumeng said straightforwardly to Tang Yurou.
Since Tang Yurou was Ye Xunhuan’s woman, and Qin Rumeng had brought Tang Yurou to Beijing, sparing no effort to develop her, for her honesty alone.
Therefore, Qin Rumeng saw no need to hide anything about Ye Xunhuan’s return from Tang Yurou.
When Tang Yurou heard the news that Ye Xunhuan had returned, her face immediately lit up with excitement.
This Chinese New Year, Tang Yurou had brought her parents to Beijing, hoping to introduce them to Ye Xunhuan, but as plans often couldn’t keep up with changes, Ye Xunhuan suddenly left Beijing, and did not return as planned. This left all Tang Yurou’s plans in vain.
"When did he come back?" Tang Yurou asked eagerly.
"He should have just returned," Qin Rumeng said softly. "Yurou, I’ll go check on him first. If everything’s okay, I’ll ask him to see you and accompany you to visit your parents!"
Qin Rumeng knew that Tang Yurou had brought her parents to Beijing, and they were likely still there.
"You take care of the company matters for now; if anything comes up, you can handle it yourself."
Though Tang Yurou wanted to see Ye Xunhuan with Qin Rumeng, she understood she couldn’t just enter the Qin family whenever she wanted, especially with Qiu Ruoxi still living there.
So, despite her urgent desire to see Ye Xunhuan, she would have to hold off for now.
