Chapter 412: Be Frank (2)

Even though Han Yichen’s marriage proposal had been successful, certain things were still far from being resolved.

For instance, how did Han Yichen suddenly become a nouveau riche who could afford a helicopter and large diamond ring from an unsung wage earner?

For instance, what did Han Yichen do for the past one month when he had left without bidding farewell and gone missing? Why did he propose to An Yue as soon as he returned?

Yet another instance, why did that guy, who looked like a rich man at a single glance, suddenly appear at the outlet? What was his relationship with Han Yichen?

It had not been easy for the crowd inside the outlet to finally snap out of their dazes from the shock of Han Yichen’s marriage proposal on the spot. At the next moment, they were confused by a series of questions that popped out in their minds.

“Big… Brother Han…” An Yue sat opposite Han Yichen timidly under the crowd’s gazes. Her small face turned red.

She finally recovered her senses from the impactful moment of being proposed a while ago. It was okay that she had accepted Han Yichen’s marriage proposal before the public eye. But, she… she had also kissed Han Yichen in front of the crowd.

An Yue was naturally a shy girl. Under the crowd’s gaze, she wished there was a hole in the ground so that she could bury herself into.

Han Yichen was holding An Yue’s hand with the diamond ring, not giving her a chance to refuse him. When he heard An Yue’s whisper, he furrowed his eyebrows and said sullenly, “Still calling me Big Brother Han?”

An Yue’s entire body turned stiff. Her reddened face was as red as an apple. She lowered her head, so low that she wanted to bury her head under the ground. She answered shakily, “C-C-Chen…”

Han Yichen was satisfied. He naturally lowered his head and planted a kiss on An Yue’s bare forehead. “Okay.”

The surrounding onlookers fell speechless.

‘Darn it. I know you guys want to flaunt your romance. But, you don’t have to show off this way. You are filling the rest of us who are still single with jealousy, okay?!’

The crowd got so worked up that they decided to turn their grief and anger into strength. They stared at Han Yichen and An Yue before they locked gazes with one another in unison. They pushed out a certain man, who was at the lowest level of the food chain of the outlet.

Wei Yizhi was still in a daze until he felt a sudden force coming from behind him. Before he snapped out of his daze, he was already pushed to Han Yichen and An Yue’s front.

Poor Xiao Wei, only then did he recover his senses and realized that it was already too late for him to return to his original place.

Under the crowd’s expectant and intense gaze, he faced Han Yichen’s handsome but extremely calm face, so calm that it looked a bit creepy. Wei Yizhi hesitated for a while before he went up to greet them awkwardly, “Hahaha! Hi, Big Brother Han. How are you?”

“I’m good.”

Wei Yizhi fell speechless.

The crowd felt a cold breeze blow past them and along with the fallen leaves, the atmosphere turned incredibly… depressive.

Han Yichen’s cool reply got Wei Yizhi burst out into tears. ‘Bro, I know you are always that cool. But, could you at least speak more at times like this?! How should I continue with such a brief reply?!’

“Hahaha! Really? That’s great. Glad to hear that.” Wei Yizhi smiled dryly. He ground his molars as he continued, “Big Brother Han, did you just only return? Would you leave again after this trip?”

Right after Wei Yizhi asked, he felt a chill creeping down his spine. When he turned his head back, he saw the people behind him were gritting their teeth as they stared at him. Apparently, he had asked a ridiculous question even after he had spent a long time pausing.

Wei Yizhi’s expression grew increasingly stiff. In his heart, he had already broken down into a river of tears.

He had also wished to ask some questions that made more sense. But… But whenever he was greeted by Big Brother Han’s face, his words were stuck at the tip of his mouth. He had no guts to spit out. ‘Sobs… this certainly isn’t my fault!’

Upon hearing Wei Yizhi’s question, An Yue’s expression turned ghastly pale. She clenched her hand that had been laced with Han Yichen’s.

Han Yichen quickly noticed her stiffness. He saw the trace of uneasiness and trepidation that had appeared in her eyes. He slightly furrowed his eyebrows and said assuredly, “I’m not leaving this time.”

‘Even if I were to leave, I’ll take you along with me.’ Han Yichen thought to himself. He did not want history to repeat itself. He kept thinking of coming back no matter what he had been doing. He had been very worried that the person, whom he had acknowledged, would be taken by others during his absence.

An Yue seemed to have understood the hint of assurance in Han Yichen’s eyes. Her tense nerves relaxed slightly as she nodded her head.

Poor Xiao Wei. He was completely ignored once again. By the time he recovered from the disappointment and planned to ask more questions, An Qi, who had been watching at the side, could no longer hold herself back. She pushed him to the side and questioned Han Yichen, “I think, as Yue Yue’s older sister, you still owe me an explanation.”

“Explanation?” Han Yichen raised one of his eyebrows. He did not look like he was unhappy with An Qi. After all, this woman was his future wife’s older sister.

“For instance, who exactly are you? You are obviously so rich, but why were you so washed up at that time and even nestled with us in such a small place? I believe you could understand that as an older sister, I wouldn’t want my younger sister to be with a man without a clear background. Besides, the man beside you…”

An Qi frowned as she cast a disapproving glance at the man standing next to Han Yichen. Although he was dressed smartly, he somehow looked disagreeable.

“An Qi, regarding this matter, allow me to explain to you.”

A familiar voice abruptly rose from behind. Everyone was caught off guard and they reflexively turned their heads around, only to see Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng walking out.

“Manager.”

When the crowd saw Zhao Youlin, they greeted her. She smiled at them before she went up to An Qi. She turned her head around and asked Han Yichen, “Brother, you know my people here well. Regarding your matter, can I tell them?”

Han Yichen did not say anything. However, Zhao Youlin knew that he did not object to this explicitly. In other words, he had given his consent in silence.

“Brother?! Manager, did you call Big Brother Han your brother?” The crowd slowly returned to their senses and quickly grabbed the main point from Zhao Youlin’s words. They looked at Zhao Youlin in puzzlement.

Zhao Youlin smiled faintly before she said generously, “Guys, you are right. Big Brother Han is my blood-related older brother.”

Even though Han Yichen was not a direct blood relative, at least he was a close relative of the second generation. Therefore, she was not telling a lie.

When the crowd heard her words, they fell silent once again. They locked gazes with one another. After some time, a shocking exclamation broke the silent atmosphere inside the outlet, “What?!”
