Chapter 220: 182

Oh no! She let it slip out.

Ya Yan instinctively covered her mouth.

Liz eyebrows furrowed, "Yanyan, you should know my temper."

"I... " Ya Yan lowered her eyes, "Alright, I said it." She had initially not wanted to talk about this matter, fearing it would enrage her brother. But, she got so excited thinking about Mu Lin that it unintentionally slipped out.

Without saying a word, Yan Zilei was waiting for Ya Yan’s explanation.

Ya Yan sighed helplessly and continued, "Actually, the reason I came back so early has something to do with this incident; yesterday..." She couldn’t hide any details from her elder brother, so she told him the whole story.

She sat down by Yan Zilei’s bed, head lowered; she didn’t dare to look up at the handsome face of her brother, who was presently filled with shared indignation.

After revealing almost all the details, Ya Yan quickly added, "But, brother, don’t worry, I’m fine because Mu Lin happened to appear in time to save me." She wore an extremely ingratiating smile on her face.

"What about those people?" Yan Zilei’s voice was calm, but Ya Yan knew, this was a sign of his anger.

Subconsciously shaking her head, "I don’t know, because we aren’t in Ming City. I didn’t want to escalate things there." If she had pushed things further, she might have ended up embarrassing herself. Moreover, it might have forced her brother to make a special trip there; he was already very busy.

"So, you let them get away?" For Yan Zilei, this incident was far from over.

"Actually, it’s not like we let them off the hook." At Yan Zilei’s words, Ya Yan shook her head, "Mu Lin not only rendered those people useless, but he also broke the hand of one who hit me." Later, Mu Lin told her that those guys would never dare to touch a woman again in their life.

Ya Yan noted, no wonder those men were passing out from the pain.

"They also hit you." It seems he might need to personally visit B City. His cold eyes lifted slightly as he extended his hand towards Ya Yan, "Come here, let me take a look."

Ya Yan got up without any hesitation and walked towards Yan Zilei. Her smile was still sweet and sincere. She held his hand and cooed, "Brother, don’t be angry. I will never go so far by myself in the future."

Without speaking, Yan Zilei gently touched the light red marks on Ya Yan’s face. A flash of worry swept over his gaze, "I’m not angry with you." How could he be angry with her? He paused, then asked, "Where is Du Hongyu?" If Du Hongyu wasn’t around when Ya Yan had an accident and was unable to protect his darling, he had no right to be with her.

"He..." Ya Yan’s eyes became complicated as she mentioned Du Hongyu, "Brother, actually I came to talk to you about this incident." It’s better to cut out unnecessary confusion now than to regret it later.

"Say it, what happened between you two?" Yan Zilei’s face was calm.

"I... If I want to call off our previous oral marriage agreement, Brother, would you agree?" Since he and Chen Yao were already together, she better stay away from them. It would be better for them to walk their separate ways from then on.

"Call off the marriage!" Yan Zilei’s eyebrows frowned at that moment, "Did he do something to hurt you?" He knew his darling well, if there wasn’t an underlying reason, she wouldn’t bring this up voluntarily.

Ya Yan instinctively shook her head, "No, I just realized that I don’t really like him that much. Du Hongyu and I grew up together and naturally became a couple. I thought we would always be together, but now I realize that apart from the childhood memories and feelings, we don’t really understand each other." Even the things she thought she knew turned out to be false, which made Ya Yan slightly sad.

"Brother, promise me, okay." Her voice was softly coaxing; she was aware that her elder brother couldn’t resist when she acted like this.

Hearing Ya Yan’s words, Yan Zilei’s gaze was deep and dim. In the end, he just lightly said, "Okay. Since he cannot protect you, from today onward, only your brother will protect you." He initially thought as long as she was happy, it would be fine. It seemed now he shouldn’t have loosened his hold and let her explore on her own.

Yan Zilei, the head of Ya Family’s business and the principal family member. Although Ya Yan called him ’brother’, he wasn’t Ya Family’s blood relation. From the moment Ya Yan spoke, from the moment he saw that first smile on her face, he had made up his mind to protect her for life. He never expected that the one time he slightly let her go, he almost lost the one he dearly loved.
