“Not at all, I’m just not hungry!”

Mr. Yan’s statement was entirely unconvincing.

Who among the photography team didn’t know that he, like Zhu Qianying, had eaten nothing but water from morning till night?

However, as Mr. Yan put it in such a way, nobody dared to further any inquiry.

As for Zhu Qianying, it wasn’t that she didn’t dare to speak. She was simply disinterested in doing so, because she was certain that even if she urged him, he probably wouldn’t eat any more.

She’d witnessed firsthand a person who would rather starve to death than eat a mouthful of food that didn’t suit his taste.

Mr. Yan ate a few mouthfuls of plain rice, then picked up the photographer’s camera to look at the pictures. In contrast, Zhu Qianying showed no interest in the photos at all.

“Copy these photos exactly and send a set to Qin Xiu.”

The photos in the camera needed a lot of processing by the photographer after returning. Zhu Qianying didn’t understand what he wanted with the original photos.

The photographer dared not have any objections and immediately agreed to send the photos later.

By the time they left the farmhouse after dinner, it was already past eight. Zhu Qianying fell asleep shortly after getting in the car, only to be woken by Mr. Yan, discovering they were parked outside the Zhu family home.

“Ah, so tired!” Zhu Qianying stretched unapologetically in front of Mr. Yan and let out a yawn.

“Are you a pig that only sleeps after it’s eaten!” Mr. Yan glared at her coldly.

Zhu Qianying shrugged nonchalantly. “Let it be a pig then, as long as I can eat my fill, have a good sleep, for me, that’s the greatest happiness.”

With that, she opened the car door, stepped out, and gestured a goodbye to Mr. Yan sitting in the back seat, “Goodbye, Mr. Yan!”

Mr. Yan said nothing, merely returning her wave, signaling her to close the car door.

Having slept through the trip, Zhu Qianying felt rejuvenated and stepped into the Zhu house with a brisk pace.

The doorman suddenly stopped her. “Miss Zhu!”

Zhu Qianying turned her head. “What’s up?”

“Second Young Master Qi asked you to give him a call as soon as you get home!”

Only then did Zhu Qianying remember that she’d switched off her mobile phone to avoid any distractions after getting into Mr. Yan’s car that morning.

“Okay, got it!”

Zhu Qianying assumed Qi Xiao wanted to gossip about her wedding photo shoot that day.

During the photo shoot at the horse field, she hadn’t seen Xing Bailun and his friends, causing her to doubt whether Mr. Yan had informed them about their photo session at all.

The night was not too cold, and Zhu Qianying was wearing a light jacket. She casually picked a chair in the garden, sat down, and switched on her phone.

As soon as the phone powered up, a series of unread message alerts sounded consecutively.

Zhu Qianying chose the last message from Qi Xiao. “Ying Zi, come to the Central Hospital as soon as you get this message. Aaron’s injured and undergoing surgery!”

The timestamp showed the message was sent at 12:10 pm.

Zhu Qianying hastily stood up. Without a second thought, she dashed towards the gate.

The doorman was quite accustomed to Miss Zhu’s sudden outings and opened the gate without asking any questions.

Zhu Qianying had to run several hundred meters before she could hail a cab.

“Brother, please take me to the Central Hospital.”

After instructing the driver while panting slightly, Zhu Qianying called Qi Xiao.

The call was picked up quickly. “Ying Zi, where are you? Did you get my message?”

Zhu Qianying was still panting but couldn’t care less as she hurriedly spoke,
“Yes, I saw your last message. I just left home. How’s Aaron?”

“His left leg is fractured, and he has numerous bruises all over his body. He’s resting in a hospital room right now. He’s out of danger.”

“What happened? Did he get into a fight?” A shock ran through Zhu Qianying, and Mr. Yan’s face quickly flashed in her mind.

“No, we were horse racing this morning, and Aaron was unusually competitive. He was leading us by quite a lot, probably because he was too impatient, which might have irritated his horse. By the time we made it to Tiger Valley, we found Aaron unconscious and severely injured at the foot of the hill. His horse was nowhere to be seen.”

The explanation from Qi Xiao not only clarified how Xing Bailun was injured but also revealed one thing.

Xing Bailun was in a terrible mood that day.

The group had been playing together for many years, and Xing Bailun was unanimously recognized as the eldest and natural leader.

Firstly, Xing Bailun was indeed the eldest amongst them.

Secondly, it was due to Xing Bailun’s calmness and composure in handling matters. He rarely acted impulsively.

During horse racing, when the desire to win could irritate the horse, Qi Xiao and the others had experienced it, but not Xing Bailun. He never had.

At least, during the many years Zhu Qianying had known him, he had never lost his cool over the result of a race.

In Zhu Qianying’s memory, he was a person with a well-planned approach, even on the racing field. He would strictly follow his pre-defined race strategy. Even if he fell behind, he wouldn’t panic, and most of the time, he would end up victorious in the end.

As for why he was in a bad mood today, Zhu Qianying didn’t need to ask.

Even if Xing Bailun hadn’t seen her and Mr. Yan’s photoshoot with his own eyes, hearing about it was damaging enough.

“Da Qi, I’ll probably get there in half an hour. Is there anything you need me to bring, or anything Aaron needs?”

“There’s nothing we need; you showing up is enough.” After a pause, Qi Xiao added, “You’d better not bring up anything about you and Mr. Yan in front of him.”

Zhu Qianying’s heart sank, “Alright, I understand. Da Qi, tell me honestly. Did Mr. Yan say anything to him?”

“Mr. Yan didn’t say anything. It’s just that when you guys were taking wedding photos by the lake, we happened to be resting on the hill…”

Although Qi Xiao was not explicit, his implications were clear.

“Da Qi, do you think it’s appropriate for me to visit him right now?”

Zhu Qianying was greatly concerned about Xing Bailun. But she was also afraid that her appearance might rub salt into Xing Bailun’s still bleeding wounds.

Qi Xiao responded immediately on the other side, “Come on over, he was conscious for a bit and wanted to see you.”

Zhu Qianying gave a nod, and then Qi Xiao spoke again, “Ying Zi, we understand the situation. It’s not your fault. It’s just that Aaron is caught up in his problems. I must tell you this as a common friend to you both. I hope that even in the future, you guys are still friends, and please don’t cast him aside, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to cope!”

Zhu Qianying sighed silently. It turned out that others often see things more clearly than she does.

If she had known earlier that Xing Bailun had feelings for her… then she would have….

What could she have done anyway?

It appeared that nothing would have changed!
