Chapter 195

“Brother-in-law, do you think I look like the kind of pervert who likes to eavesdrop?”

“I asked you that because you’ve done something like that before.”

“Last night, after I finished talking with them, I just went to sleep.”

Han An was about to speak, but then he saw Xu Yina coming out of the kitchen.

Even though they had agreed to cut ties completely, knowing that Xu Yina might have slept with her hometown friend last night still left Han An feeling uneasy. When he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, a similar emotion had spread through him, enough to make him sigh with regret.

After exchanging a glance with Xu Yina, Han An said, “You go ahead with your work. I’ll talk to Yina about the regular meeting.”

“I thought you were going to ask her about last night, brother-in-law.”

“You think I’m a pervert?”

“Who knows!”

Watching Bai Qin’s smug expression, Han An couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing, he naturally walked over to Xu Yina.

Seeing Han An approach, Xu Yina’s brows furrowed tightly.

Afraid that Bai Qin might notice something, Xu Yina not only relaxed her brows but also put on a professional smile.

Once Han An stood in front of her, he asked, “You’ll be hosting this week’s regular meeting. No problem, right?”

“Of course.”

“That’s good.”

“Is there anything else?”

“I want to have a proper talk with you.”

“But you’re afraid Xiaoqin will pick up on something, aren’t you?”

“Find some time to come out later. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of Carrefour.”

“What’s there to talk about?”

“You’ll find out later.”

With that, Han An turned and walked away.

He went up to Bai Qin and said, “With you and Yina looking after the shop, I feel very reassured, so I’ll keep checking out storefronts.”

“Okay.”

After giving Bai Qin a smile, Han An walked out.

He waited at the entrance of Carrefour for a full half hour before he saw Xu Yina walking toward him.

Because of her professional attire, Xu Yina’s figure looked especially good.

Han An even remembered how much he liked having Xu Yina kneel and bend over, so he could see the ripples of her buttocks from his thrusts.

When Xu Yina reached him, Han An asked, “Are you together with that hometown friend of yours?”

“Yes, so boss, you should be glad there’s someone to take over.”

“Is he good to you?”

“He’s had a crush on me for a long time, so he’ll definitely treat me well.”

“So you two slept together last night?”

“I’d like to say yes, just to annoy you, boss, but the truth is no,” Xu Yina said. “He’s very gentlemanly, so he slept on the sofa while I slept in the bed. Even though I’ve been married, I realize now how naive I was before. Because of how we got along in Lijiang, I thought you liked me more than the boss’s wife, even that you’d long seen her as a woman like a prostitute. But the truth is, even if she were a prostitute, you still love her more. Since I can’t enter your heart, boss, it just means I was nothing more than a tool for you to vent your sexual desires. So we’re not meant to be, and it’s better to go back to how things were before.”

“Does he know about what happened between us?”

“I told him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to help me.”

“And after knowing, he still wants to be with you?”

“Yes, because he’s a very forgiving man.”

“It just feels a bit strange.”

“You think it’s strange that someone wants me?”

“That’s not what I mean,” Han An said. “Normally, if someone finds out you had an affair with your boss, they wouldn’t be able to accept it right away and still want to be with you. I’m not saying you’re not good enough, or that he’s not forgiving enough. I just think it all happened too fast, and it feels a bit abrupt.”

“That’s because he’s had a crush on me for a long time.”

“Anyway, just be a bit careful.”

“Actually, I know what you’re thinking,” Xu Yina said. “You just don’t want me to be with him, so that whenever you feel like letting off steam, you’ll have someone to use.”

“You’re making me out to be far too immoral.”

“If you had morals, would you have gotten involved with me?”

“You were the one who initiated it back then.”

“Couldn’t you have refused?”

“You sound like you’ve swallowed gunpowder,” Han An said. “When we first got involved, I was planning to marry you after the divorce. But since I didn’t know when the divorce would happen, I told you to wait patiently. But last time, when I pretended to rape you, I noticed your body reacted very strongly, as if you enjoyed being raped, and that made me a bit uneasy.”

“You’re not a woman, so there’s a basic fact you just don’t understand,” Xu Yina said. “When any man enters a woman, as long as he’s sexually capable enough, he can make her soaking wet.”

“I really didn’t know that.”

“It doesn’t matter anymore. We’ve already drawn a clear line.”

“I hope you’ll be happy,” Han An said. “If you ever need help with anything in the future, you can tell me. As long as it’s something I can help with, I’ll do it.”

As he spoke, Han An extended his hand toward Xu Yina.

Seeing this gesture, Xu Yina couldn’t help but recall what had happened in Lijiang.

Back then, she and Han An had met at the Huazhu Inn, and she had guessed he was investigating the boss’s wife’s infidelity. Later, Han An had shaken her hand, signaling that he welcomed her to join the investigation. At that moment, she felt she had gained Han An’s approval, and with everything that followed, she began to think they could be together forever. So, when Han An kept hesitating to take the initiative, Xu Yina had turned off the lights and taken the lead in pleasuring him orally, becoming a woman who was extremely forward in that regard.

She had thought her initiative would bring her a new love, but it turned out to be nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

As she thought about it, Xu Yina’s vision blurred.

After tears fell, Xu Yina gently took Han An’s hand.

Letting go, she said, “Boss, let’s just treat what happened between us as a dream.”

“Yeah,” Han An said. “Right now, I just hope you’ll be happy.”

“I also hope you can find your freedom soon, boss,” Xu Yina paused, then added, “Maybe you could consider Xiaoqin. I think she might be a good match.”

“I just want to sort out my marriage first.”

“Have you found evidence of her cheating yet?”

“It feels like I’m close, but in reality, I haven’t.”

“I know you love her very much.”

Hearing Xu Yina’s words, Han An gave a bitter smile.

Wiping her tears, Xu Yina said, “If you really can’t find proof of the boss’s wife’s infidelity, then just muddling through life together might be fine too. Because I know that if she hasn’t cheated, you’ll definitely see her as the most perfect woman in the world. It’s her perfection that highlights my imperfections. Honestly, I think whether you’re a man or a woman, you should find someone who loves you, not someone you love. As for the so-called mutual love, such examples are far too rare—probably only exist in Qiong Yao dramas.”
