Chapter 910 - 953: How Did You Know?
Yan Qinghan pointed at the steaming milk tea in front of him and said proudly, "Little sister-in-law, please have some tea! Let me tell you, my male secretary’s skills are top-notch. The milk tea and coffee he brews taste amazing! I’m telling you, I, Yan Qinghan, never praise others easily. Once I do, it’s truly good!"
Listening to Yan Qinghan, Ye Anxin obligingly picked up the hot milk tea in front of her, blew on it, and took a sip!
Yan Qinghan blinked his charming eyes, full of anticipation, looking at Ye Anxin, "How is it? Doesn’t it taste great?"
Ye Anxin generously offered her praise, "Hmm! The taste is indeed nice. No wonder Mr. Yan would hire a man as a secretary, turns out he can brew great coffee!"
Most other secretaries are women, often with slim figures, beautiful faces, and strong work abilities!
When she first married her uncle, there was a beautiful female secretary by his side! Even Huo Junmo and Gu Xingchen’s secretaries are women! Yan Qinghan is the only one with a male secretary!
This did surprise her somewhat!
Upon hearing Ye Anxin, Yan Qinghan gave a mysterious smile, extended a long finger, gently shaking it, and said slowly, "Little sister-in-law, you got it wrong! The reason I hired a male secretary is entirely for my darling’s peace of mind! You know, handsome people are particularly prone to attract admirers! To show my darling how much I care, I specifically replaced my previous beautiful female secretary with a male one!"
Seeing that he never misses an opportunity to praise himself, Ye Anxin couldn’t help but smile, "No matter when, you never forget to brag a little!"
Yan Qinghan raised his eyebrows, speaking as if it was only natural, "Of course! Love should be displayed, and being handsome requires some capital! If it were a plain man, do you think he’d have the capital to show off?"
"...!" Ye Anxin knew that if she continued this nonsense with him, her visit today would be in vain! So, Ye Anxin changed the subject back, continuing her earlier topic, "Mr. Yan, let’s get back on track! I came today really for Ruan Zhitong’s matter! I want to know everything between her and my uncle! And... including her split personality!"
Yan Qinghan raised an eyebrow, then decisively shook his head and refused, "Her past with Mu Beiting? No, no, that’s Mu Beiting’s privacy. If he doesn’t tell you, how can I? Besides, that’s all in the past, why bring it up! Now, isn’t it fine that Mu Beiting is living steadily with you?"
Ye Anxin hurriedly explained, "I’m not fixated on the past between my uncle and her! I know my uncle never loved her! I’m just curious about how they met and fell in love back then, why Ruan Zhitong became so persistent?"
"Ah! How would I know what your uncle was thinking, I’m not a worm in his stomach! To be honest, not just with Ruan Zhitong, it’s the same with you, I can’t figure it out! Back then, Mu Beiting loved her so much, willing to abandon the entire family for her! He gave up everything, only wished for a simple life! But in my eyes, they clearly loved each other, yet Mu Beiting flatly denies his love for Ruan Zhitong! I’m still confused and don’t know what he really thinks!" Yan Qinghan said with a look of helplessness!
He used to think he knew Mu Beiting the best! But for the matters between Mu Beiting and Ruan Zhitong, he really doesn’t understand at all!
You say it’s love! But Mu Beiting denies it! Mu Beiting isn’t the kind to do things he’s not willing to admit, he’s straightforward, if he loves, he wouldn’t deny it! Like with his little sister-in-law, love is love, no matter what happened in between, no matter how prideful he is, or how he dislikes explaining, he eventually professed his love to her in person!
But with Ruan Zhitong! Anyway, no matter what others perceive, at least in his view, as a man, he thinks that is love!
Yet, Mu Beiting still doesn’t admit it!
And the decisiveness and harshness Mu Beiting shows towards Ruan Zhitong don’t seem like he’s deeply in love.
So, up until now, even someone who considers himself quite understanding of Mu Beiting doesn’t know what Mu Beiting’s situation is with Ruan Zhitong.
Hearing this, Ye Anxin asked in some surprise, "Even you don’t know?"
Yan Qinghan responded naturally, "Of course! You know how tight-lipped your uncle is, he wouldn’t say a thing! In a day, he hardly says more than ten sentences! He never shares his thoughts! Even as his brother for so many years, I rely on guessing! So if he doesn’t speak, how would I know! But after spending a long time with Mu Beiting, I rarely guess wrong about his feelings and thoughts! Except with Ruan Zhitong, I just can’t figure out what’s going on between them!"
"...!" Ye Anxin seriously stared at Yan Qinghan’s face for a long time, trying to discern from his expression whether he was telling the truth!
Seeing Ye Anxin focused intently on him, Yan Qinghan touched his handsome face, smiled broadly, and shamelessly said, "Little sister-in-law, although I’m very handsome and I don’t mind you looking at me with such adoring eyes, please don’t look at me like this in front of your uncle, I still want to live a few more years!"
Being teased by Yan Qinghan like that, Ye Anxin blushed, glaring at him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yan Qinghan unapologetically said, "If it isn’t because you fell for me, why else look at me like that? You’re making my little heart beat erratically, almost jumping out!"
"...!" Ye Anxin, feeling a bit embarrassed, didn’t want to discuss this topic further, so she continued, "Since you don’t know the matter between my uncle and Ruan Zhitong, and don’t wish to talk to me about their past, I won’t ask anymore! But, about Ruan Zhitong having split personality, you should know, right?"
Yan Qinghan nodded, readily admitting, "Yes, this I know! I was the first to discover it! I noticed something seemed off about Ruan Zhitong’s mental state and told Mu Beiting and Gu Xingchen! At first, they didn’t believe it!"
When she heard this, Ye Anxin’s eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Then how did you find out she had a split personality?"
In response to Ye Anxin’s question, Yan Qinghan did not immediately answer. Instead, he pressed his lips, looked earnestly at Ye Anxin, placed his long legs on the ground, leaned closer to Ye Anxin, propped his hands on the table, and asked mysteriously, "First tell me, how did you know Ruan Zhitong has a split personality?"
