"Yan Aohan, I want to cooperate with you." The Silver Fox spoke directly, seeing the suspicion in Yan Aohan’s eyes. "Actually, I originally wanted to play along with the Godfather’s suggestion. But unexpected things happened. These accidents are easy to lose control of. I don’t want to experience the past again. I believe you feel the same."
After speaking, the Silver Fox glanced out the window.
The sky outside had darkened. The stars remained bright. Since it was the beginning of the month, the moon had not appeared, but the air outside still felt refreshing.
Yan Aohan followed the Silver Fox’s gaze to the window. He frowned slightly, then looked deeply at the Silver Fox. "What do you want?"
"Lord Yan should know that debts must be repaid. Not only do you owe someone, but I do too. You owe your lover; I owe my family." The Silver Fox looked at Yan Aohan, believing he understood.
A sharp light flashed in Yan Aohan’s eyes. He looked at the Silver Fox for a long time before saying, "Yes, debts must be repaid. But your method of repayment is hard to accept."
"No choice. You owe, he owes, and I owe. Our targets are different. Moreover, I owe too much. I can only repay one by one. This current situation is already quite good." The Silver Fox picked up the tea in front of him, sniffed it, and inhaled the light tea fragrance deeply. It felt really nice.
Yan Aohan frowned slightly. He disliked the Silver Fox’s demeanor, but there were some things he couldn’t say. So he could only watch him. "What should be forgotten must be forgotten."
"If you make a mistake, you must be punished. Isn’t that your order, Lord Yan?" The Silver Fox looked at Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan pondered. "Carrying too much weight is bad for you."
"I am already trapped in this swamp, so I cannot get out. I live only to seek revenge for enemies, repay grudges, return affection, and repay kindness. But now, I have failed in all these aspects. So I am still just a useless Silver Fox who accomplishes nothing." A trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of the Silver Fox’s mouth.
Seeing this bitterness, Zhu Yanyi felt a strange reluctance. "Why worry so much? Don’t let your heart be too heavy. Don’t think too much in daily life. Forget what should be forgotten. Look at me. I forget bad things because a beautiful life is waving at me ahead. Isn’t it better to live lightly?"
Zhu Yanyi disliked making life too burdensome. Now, she simplified the complex.
The Silver Fox was slightly stunned. He looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Don’t you resent the Zhu family in Zhu City for plotting against you? Don’t you resent the Zhu Guifu family in Sicheng Town for plotting against you?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi’s expression changed. "How do you know so much?" Her background information was locked. Even few people in the top tier of China knew her origin. Now that the Silver Fox knew her background, she was naturally unhappy.
The Silver Fox glanced at Zhu Yanyi and said calmly, "Rest assured. I know, but others don’t. I have no intention of telling anyone."
Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. She looked at Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan smiled gently and comforted her, "It’s fine. Although the Silver Fox is a bit cunning and sinister, his words are trustworthy. Since he said he wouldn’t tell, don’t worry he will."
The Silver Fox glanced at Yan Aohan. "No need to provoke me. If I said I wouldn’t tell, I won’t." He then took a bite of an egg tart. "If I wanted to tell, I would have told long ago. The fact that I haven’t means I won’t. I won’t tell the Godfather, but whether the Godfather finds out is beyond my control." After all, the Godfather’s abilities were significant.
"The Godfather is cunning and ambitious, but she won’t target Ani’s relatives because she still owes them a favor." Yan Aohan said calmly. The Godfather was a contradictory figure. Many things had happened, and she had her own thoughts. She might want to target Zhu Yanyi, but one thing was certain: she would absolutely not target Zhu Shun Yao and the others.
The Silver Fox looked at Yan Aohan. Since Yan Aohan said so, it was definite. He didn’t ask about the complexities inside. He only said, "Let’s assume the Godfather won’t target the Little Divine Doctor’s relatives. But she might target the Little Divine Doctor. Even I initially sent someone. I planned to let her approach the Little Divine Doctor, preferably using beauty to confuse her. Unfortunately, the Little Divine Doctor was too busy. She didn’t even have time to let anyone approach her."
"Was there such a thing?" Zhu Yanyi didn’t know this had happened. "When did it happen?"
The Silver Fox smiled bitterly. "It was during your high school years. I just didn’t expect you to skip grades. Skipping grades was one thing, but not even going to college now is another."
Since the plan was destined to fail, he might as well admit it.
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "I didn’t plan to skip college. I will go in the second half of this year, but as a teacher." Zhu Yanyi looked at the Silver Fox. "So if the person you set up is a student, I basically won’t care."
Seeing Yan Aohan’s displeased expression nearby, Zhu Yanyi giggled. "Most importantly, I always prefer mature types, like our Aohan. Unless you produce another Aohan. But even if you produce another Aohan, I won’t be moved. My Aohan is unique and irreplaceable."
Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, a smile appeared on Yan Aohan’s face. He looked at Zhu Yanyi with full doting affection. "Ani, in my heart, you are also irreplaceable by anyone."
"Cough, cough." The Silver Fox felt like rolling his eyes from their public display of affection. "Can you two settle down? Don’t be so cheesy in front of a lonely person like me. Aren’t you afraid of being too sweet and making people sick?"
"If you are sick of it, that’s your problem. We think it’s fine." Yan Aohan strongly supported showing off their love. He even thought showing more was better, to prevent people from causing trouble for them.
The Silver Fox coughed again. "If you want to be sweet and cloying, go home and do it. I invited you here not to show me your sweetness and cloyingness."
Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi looked at each other, sweet smiles on their faces. Then Yan Aohan looked at the Silver Fox and said, "Alright, then tell us. What did you call us here for?"
