A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

A few days later, Ye Feng still went to the Zhu family.

Sometimes, you can hide it today but not tomorrow!

After hearing Ye Feng's frank confession, "In fact, Lin Yuqing is the one who is 'truly extremely Yin,' the one who can truly save me from my death," Zhu Hongsheng remained silent for a long time. His old face showed a variety of expressions before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Oh, oh, I see, I see. No wonder Master told me that Wanqing's yin energy was mortal, and no wonder Master also told me that 'those who are destined will meet him.' After going around in circles, the real key has always been left in the Lin family."

His old eyes stared intently at Ye Feng, devoid of hatred, only filled with remorse and regret. "Young Master Ye, it was my Zhu family that harmed you. I shamelessly sought this marriage, only to save Wanqing's life and to hopefully find you a suitable match. Now, looking back, it seems we almost cost you your life by sheer chance!"

"You've misunderstood, sir," Ye Feng said, shaking his head. "I will take my time to improve Wanqing's health. Her premature death will definitely be cured in time, please rest assured!"

Zhu Hongsheng nodded heavily, both happy and deeply moved.

The difficult words were meant for Zhu Wanqing.

She sat in the bookstore waiting for him. Dressed in a simple, elegant long dress, she looked serene, lacking the sharp edge she displayed in the business world.

Ye Feng stood in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth. He didn't hide anything or embellish anything, and told her everything about the near-death experience, the "True Yin" person, and the key that had been misplaced for half a year and finally ended up on Lin Yuqing.

In the study, as these facts reached Zhu Wanqing's ears, her hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

The tea water rippled in a very, very tiny circle on the side of the cup.

She remained silent for a while, and then the sky outside seemed to darken. Finally, as if she was about to cry or ask something, she gave him a cold look, and Ye Feng almost thought she was about to cry!

After all, this engagement was the only undeniable source of pride in her entire life.

But in the end, she gently put down the cup:

"I know, I've known for a long time. Lin Yuqing saved you in the warehouse that day, right? I don't understand any mystical things, but I can tell that the way she looks at me is different from the way she looks at me."

Ye Feng couldn't utter a single word.

"Ye Feng," Zhu Wanqing looked up, her clear eyes glistening with tears, but she tried her best to put on a relieved smile: "Don't feel guilty. Back then, this marriage was proposed by my grandfather. It was never a matter of mutual consent. In the past six months, what you've done for the Zhu family—saving my grandfather, resolving my predicament—has long since repaid that favor, and more than enough."

"You're a good person," she said, emphasizing each word, "so good that I've been proud of you for most of my life. I've even found myself falling for you without realizing it, even though I thought there were no men in the world who were good enough for you."

She spoke softly, so softly it was almost lost in the breeze, yet it took all her strength to speak.

For a strong-willed woman like Zhu Wanqing, admitting her failure and acknowledging that she had once been moved was a hundred times more difficult than apologizing in front of everyone.

"But I know," she took a deep breath, calmly suppressing the emotions that were about to overflow, "that some things are destined to be together. Although I, Zhu Wanqing, am unwilling, I will not take away someone else's livelihood. My position as Zhu Wanqing was originally set for me."

"That marriage," she raised her head and said without any pretense, "I'm letting go. From now on, there will be no 'fiancée' between you and me. You will meet someone who is your soulmate, and I will help you achieve that. Zhu Wanqing will let go."

Ye Feng looked at her.

He hadn't expected that a proud and strong-willed woman, even one with minor surgical scars, could become so insightful and upright at such a time.

"Wanqing"

"No," Zhu Wanqing stopped him, her smile becoming more genuine. "Let's not talk about that. It's an honor for me to know you, and for you to come to the rescue when the Zhu family was in its most difficult time. From now on, let's be good friends!"

"You must overcome your tribulation well, and treat your people well," she stood up, walked to the window to look at the sky outside, her figure so proud and aloof. "As for me, the burden of the Zhu family still rests on my shoulders! A woman who is capable of managing the family business has no need to tie herself to personal feelings." At that moment, Ye Feng felt a deep respect for this woman.

Letting go is always harder than fighting for something.

But she did it—she didn't cry, make a scene, or cling on. Instead, she turned this fruitless love into a carefree release and found a virtuous friendship with someone she could move forward with on a parallel path. There are many people in this world who can afford to love, but few who can let go.

But just as Ye Feng turned and walked out of the study, closing the door, the woman who had been smiling with such a relieved expression slowly leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

A tear finally rolled down my cheek.

She does not regret her choice.

A truly wise woman knows her limits. Ye Feng is good, but that goodness isn't hers to keep. Even if a marriage obtained through marriage brings her status, it can't truly warm her heart.

She raised her hand and quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes. She sat up straight again, her gaze regaining its previous clarity and determination!

The Zhu family is on her shoulders; there are still many days ahead!

This love affair, which had nothing to do with romance, drifted away with the wind! There's plenty of time; she'll eventually find her destined man and be with him!

On the other side, after hearing Ye Feng's explanation of Zhu Wanqing's "letting go and fulfilling her wishes," Lin Yuqing was stunned for a long time.

The awkwardness and wariness he had long harbored towards Zhu Wanqing melted away slightly in an instant, turning into a sigh.

"She...is a good woman."

"Even more generous than me!"

"I know." Lin Yuqing spat at Ye Feng, but her face was slightly flushed.

Two Jie Jies, it's settled!

Both are outstanding women, but one found true love and a good marriage, while the other preserved her dignity and face.

There will be no more dramatic jealousy and rivalry.

Only after mutual success can there be mutual appreciation!
