Xiao Cheng couldn't understand Han Junyan's approach.
Unexpectedly, Han Junyan gave him a frank answer, "Yes, I liked Jing Wei. But I like supreme power even more." With that, Han Junyan hung up the phone.
Han Junyan was very clear about his choice between love and power.
Moreover, Meng Jing Wei was already a married woman with her heart set elsewhere. How could he dedicate his 'unvalued' feelings to a woman who would never reciprocate?
Despite his 'worldly wisdom,' the real Han Junyan was not as indifferent as he appeared.
When Meng Jing Wei encountered difficulties, he would still step forward to help her.
The human heart is contradictory.
Sometimes it's hard to define.
That night, Xiao Cheng boarded a flight back to Country C, leaving Yancheng.
Not long after he left, Antina received the news.
But Antina merely smiled faintly, "Returning to Country C now, it's just to prevent me from targeting Qing Muye and Meng Jing Wei."
Her rebellious nature at work, she decided to do the opposite.
The next day.
Song Ci drove a commercial van, picked up his boss and Lu Yanming, and waited for Han Yu at the highway entrance.
A dozen minutes later, Han Yu's car pulled up to the highway entrance.
After he parked his car in the lot by the roadside, everyone realized that Han Yu had brought Cheng Xiaorui with him.
Lu Yanming, sitting by the window, saw this and nudged Qing Muye with his elbow, "Look, the quiet one seems to have found a new spring."
Qing Muye turned his head and watched the two approaching figures without a word.
Song Ci pressed a button, and the van door opened automatically. Han Yu and Cheng Xiaorui stood outside.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Cheng Xiaorui, once a village girl, had become stylish and glamorous.
She wore a black and white checkered knit dress, a short white leather jacket, a black beret, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, and black high heels. Her entire demeanor was highlighted, like a little princess, exuding a sweet and cute style.
Of course, this style suited Cheng Xiaorui perfectly.
Seeing the two people seated in the car, Cheng Xiaorui smiled sweetly and waved.
Lu Yanming also waved, "Xiao Ya..." Before he could even finish the word 'Ya,' he quickly corrected himself, "Beauty, it's been a while. You're getting more beautiful."
Cheng Xiaorui nodded, raised her hand, and made a gesture: [Thank you for the compliment.]
Qing Muye, as usual, was indifferent, "Get in the car."
Considering that it would be inconvenient for Cheng Xiaorui to get in and out of the car wearing high heels, Qing Muye and Lu Yanming sat in the back row, while Han Yu and Cheng Xiaorui sat in the middle row.
The two got into the car, closed the door, and the vehicle started onto the highway.
Lu Yanming pushed up his glasses, leaned forward slightly, resting against the back of the front seat, and whistled at Han Yu, "Not bad. You got her?"
His voice was low, audible only to the two of them.
Han Yu glanced at Lu Yanming, "Get rid of your dirty thoughts. Xiao Si helped Xiaorui a lot before. Xiaorui knew he was hospitalized, so she wanted to visit him."
"Dodging the question," Lu Yanming rolled his eyes at him, feeling that Han Yu was deliberately changing the subject.
"My mother likes Xiaorui very much and recognized her as her goddaughter," Han Yu gave Lu Yanming the answer he wanted.
"Goddaughter?" Lu Yanming tilted his head and looked at Qing Muye. The two brothers exchanged glances, and an idea formed in their minds.
He leaned forward again and asked in a low voice, "Your mother recognizing her as a goddaughter, isn't that intentional? You're siblings, you can't get married!"
Especially since the Han family had strict traditions. Once recognized as a goddaughter, Han Yu would absolutely not be allowed to be with Cheng Xiaorui.
There had been such cases in the Han family before.
