Cheng Ye stood to one side with a clouded expression on his face, drinking heavily in silence. Zhu Qianying watched him and felt awful, yet she felt powerless to change the strained atmosphere.
She subtly tugged at Yan Han's arm and then excused herself to the others, saying that there were friends waiting for them. She then bid farewell to Cheng Ye and his group and walked off towards Mr. Lei and his wife, who were surrounded by people on the left side.
Cheng Ye's friends, watching Zhu Qianying and Yan Han walk away arm in arm, turned sympathetic gazes towards him.
"Cheng, since when were Zhu-Ying and this Yan Han together? Was it love at first sight?"
When Zhu Qianying first came to M country, she lived discreetly in a different city for safety reasons. Hence, besides the staff from Ying Jewelry's headquarters, who knew she had a son, most people assumed that she was an unmarried single woman.
