Chapter 1911 - 1912: Yan Qingjun's Return

At this moment, Yan Jingchu's heart was filled with chaos and helplessness.

She had planned to pretend she didn't know Yan Qingjun was coming back, hoping to deceive everyone, especially Ye Xunhuan. But now, who would have thought, Ye Xunhuan already knew and even called her.

How did Ye Xunhuan know?

Right now, there was only this thought in Yan Jingchu's mind.

No matter how she racked her brain, she couldn't figure out how Ye Xunhuan found out, since no one outside knew when Yan Qingjun was coming back. How did Ye Xunhuan know?

Could it be that his influence has reached the Protectors, and Ye Xunhuan has people around Yan Qingjun?

Thinking about this, Yan Jingchu's heart was filled with unease and anxiety.

If Ye Xunhuan has people within the Protectors, doesn't that mean Yan Qingjun is now very dangerous?

In an instant, Yan Jingchu was entirely at a loss, overwhelmed by a sense of chaos.

Just as Yan Jingchu was in a panic, completely unsure of what to say, Ye Xunhuan's voice came through the handset into Yan Jingchu's ear again!

"What's the matter, are you surprised that I know Yan Qingjun is coming back?"

Far away, Ye Xunhuan seemed to have the Mind Reading Technique, easily seeing through Yan Jingchu's truest thoughts.

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Yan Jingchu couldn't help but shiver, and quickly said, "Ma… Master, I don't know anything about what you're saying…"

At this moment, Yan Jingchu knew very well that no matter what Ye Xunhuan said, she must hold her tongue, and never admit anything.

Otherwise, it would be telling Ye Xunhuan she knew everything long ago, but didn't tell him.

The only option was to bite the bullet and deny everything, hoping for even a slight chance to deceive him.

Although this hope was very slim, it was better than having no hope at all, right?

Despite her efforts to deceive Ye Xunhuan, and her attempts to disguise her trembling voice, the anxiety in her voice couldn't be completely hidden.

Before Yan Jingchu could finish speaking, Ye Xunhuan spoke again: "Yan Jingchu, whether you know or not doesn't matter to me. I just want you to meet Yan Qingjun for me and give my regards!"

"Of course, I might as well tell you, don't even think about playing tricks with me, or you'll end up dead in front of Yan Qingjun." Ye Xunhuan said lightly: "Whether you die or Yan Qingjun dies, that's a question you need to consider carefully!"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Yan Jingchu shivered again and then said quickly, "Ma… Master, I really don't know, I…"

"Enough!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Yan Jingchu again: "Whether you know or not is not important to me."

"What's important is, I've told you, and I know about this!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly: "As for what you do next, that's up to you!"

Ye Xunhuan's words were obvious, clearly telling Yan Jingchu, you can play tricks, but remember, don't let me find out, or you'll be the first to die!

Yan Jingchu was a smart woman, she naturally could hear the meaning behind Ye Xunhuan's words, and her heart immediately throbbed uncontrollably.

Then, before Yan Jingchu could speak, Ye Xunhuan said again: "Alright, think about it yourself!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Yan Jingchu's heart felt like falling into a deep abyss, completely enveloped in darkness.

Originally, Yan Jingchu thought with Yan Qingjun's return, she would have a backer, be able to emerge successfully, not need to fear Ye Xunhuan anymore, and no longer be at his mercy.

As the sparks of hope were just igniting, Ye Xunhuan directly doused her with cold water, sending her whole being into an icy cave, cold from head to toe!

For a moment, Yan Jingchu's face was filled with bitterness, but her eyes were full of unease. Would she be unable to escape Ye Xunhuan's control in this lifetime, and be manipulated like a puppet?

She was unwilling, but what could unwillingness do.

Now, she had to seriously consider the words Ye Xunhuan had told her, between herself and Yan Qingjun, who would die?

It was supposed to be an exhilarating night, one that kept her too excited to sleep, but now Yan Jingchu was destined to be sleepless with unease and anxiety!

Whether or not Yan Jingchu would lose sleep was not Ye Xunhuan's concern, nor was it anything he cared about.

After all, the purpose of Ye Xunhuan's call was to extinguish the hope within Yan Jingchu's heart completely.

As for how Yan Jingchu would choose in the end, it had nothing to do with Ye Xunhuan, nor did he care about her final decision.

To Ye Xunhuan, Yan Jingchu was just a pawn. And being a pawn means preparing to be controlled.

...

Early next morning, in the Yan family residence in the capital, Yan Jingchu sat quietly in front of the mirror, motionless, like a sculpture.

Last night, Yan Jingchu did not sleep; she sat in front of the mirror, staring blankly at herself reflected there.

Or perhaps, Yan Jingchu was continuously pondering in her heart what her next move should be?

Should she allow herself to be manipulated by Ye Xunhuan, or ignore his threats and warnings, and gamble everything by siding with Yan Qingjun against Ye Xunhuan.

The struggle and anxiety became the synonyms of Yan Jingchu's internal world. She had no idea what the right course of action was.

If the warning hadn't come from Ye Xunhuan, Yan Jingchu might not have paid any attention. But it was Ye Xunhuan, a person whose menace chilled her to her core.

While Yan Jingchu was lost in her thoughts, the bedroom door suddenly knocked from outside.

Upon hearing the knock, Yan Jingchu took a deep breath, swiftly adjusted her mood, and slowly got up from the mirror to open the door.

Immediately, Yan Jingchu arrived at the bedroom door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, a tall and burly figure came into Yan Jingchu's view.

The man's facial features were sharp like chisels, cold and well-defined, his gaze full of spirit and vitality under his thick eyebrows!

Seeing this man, Yan Jingchu's delicate body froze briefly, then she called out, "Brother..."

With that, Yan Jingchu threw herself into the man's embrace.
