Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 465 – A Cute Weapon

"What? Sir, how can you…"

Zhiyuan said, "I know it must be shocking. But I believe that Keung won't remain like this for longer. He has made mistakes, I agree, but those are due to some misunderstandings in our family. If I talk about his capabilities, then I trust him. He will be a good leader. When that day comes, he will need all the support you can provide."

Mr. Pei didn't sound convinced. "Han Keung and change? Sir, you don't see how he behaves."

He sighed. "That was inevitable. He wouldn't get everyone's acceptance so easily when he suddenly took over the position. He is impatient, and that's not working in his favor. But he will soon realize it. Give him a chance."

There was silence.

"Why do you want us to still work with him? Isn't he your biggest rival now? Han Corps is already too difficult to defeat with the years it has been in this industry. Why are you helping him?"

Zhiyuan smiled. "He is my brother first before a rival. The person who wants to see him succeed the most is myself."

Mr. Pei sighed.

"I apologize for his behavior. But believe me. The day would come soon when he would apologize by himself."

"Alright, sir. If that's what you wish…"

"Please convey this to the other employees too."

"Will do."

Zhiyuan hung up. Xinyi smiled. "You are a really good big brother."

He cheekily smiled. "It's because my wife is the best."

Three months had passed by, but there was still nothing suspicious about An Yueqin's behavior. She didn't show any signs of recognition or any slip that would prove she was faking her amnesia.

Today was the day when An Guoting decided to finally meet her. 

"Dad, where are you going?" Caihong asked.

"To meet Yueqin."

She widened her eyes. "So suddenly?"

He pursed his lips. "I cannot wait, Caihong! We have finally found her. We are wasting time when we are supposed to be reunited as a family…I know she would want this too. I will definitely make her spill it this time!"

Shuang smacked his head. "Haste is waste, Dad. Yunru has told to keep patience. Until now, Keung has also not done anything provoking. Suddenly barging on her door right now will do more harm than good."

"I agree with Shuang, Dad. If Keung is keeping quiet, then we have no reason to disturb her. She would be even more hostile if we bothered her for no reason."

An Guoting was aggrieved. "You two…Don't you want to see your parents happy?"

Shuang glared at him. "We don't want Mom pissed off at you for no reason."

"She won't be-"

"Daaaaad."

"Fine! Why would you two understand this father's pain here? Caihong has Xiaosi, and you have Jack Si."

Shuang choked. "Huh? Since when did I-"

"Don't lie. I know you went to a club together for a date."

"…"

"That wasn't a date. He was free that day. I was bored too. So we just hung out together."

"And for me, that is a date. You two are happy, but your father is alone."

Caihong said, "Dad-"

"Don't give me the reason that Xiaosi is in a coma. He will wake up soon."

She coughed.

"Your father is alone, but my daughters don't care about this at all."

Shuang seriously wondered if he had drama lessons from Soo Enlai.

Caihong patted his shoulder. "Dad, we care about you. Don't you think I want Mom too? I never imagined that my real mother would be alive. I am more excited than you here. But we have to wait for the right time."

He grumbled.

"Now be a good boy."

"D-Don't treat me like a kid."

"You are behaving exactly like that. Even Chyou doesn't act so stubbornly."

He gritted his teeth. After they left, An Guoting tiredly sat on the couch.

Nobody understands my pain…

His phone rang, and he saw Zizi's number flashing on it. He beamed. Their relationship as a father and daughter was also slowly improving. Now Zizi and An Guoting didn't feel so awkward around each other.

"Zizi, dear."

"Dad!"

It took a while for her, but Zizi decided to address An Guoting as Dad just like she did to Han Tian. Of course, Han Tian had a special place in her heart, and as a father, he would always be at the top.

But that didn't mean An Guoting didn't have the right.

"Dad, I got a super duper awesome plan to lure Aunt Yueqin!"

An Guoting's shoulders drooped in sadness. "It's no use, Zizi. Caihong and Shuang told me not to do anything silly. We shouldn't provoke Yueqin…"

"Ah? Why not? Oof. It won't be any problem at all. I have a super plan that won't get us into any trouble."

An Guoting felt hopeful. "R-really? But they said not to meet her…"

"Of course, we won't just barge into her house. That will be too suspicious, duh."

He coughed in embarrassment.

That was exactly my plan…

"We have a super cute weapon that would make things super easy for us!"

"What?"

"Hehe…you will know."

An Yueqin was shopping in a small supermarket near her house for her daily necessities. She thought that things would take a worse turn after Yunru caught her. But for now, everything was peaceful.

She wheeled her basket when it bumped into someone. Her eyes widened, and she quickly apologized. "I am sorry."

She froze seeing a certain figure. She quickly bent down. "Chyou. What are you doing here?"

Little Chyou's eyes were shining as she looked at her. "How do you know my name?"

She stiffened.

"Uh…No…"

Chyou's eyes sparkled. "You look so pretty! Just like my Mama."

She stared at her. "Is that so?"

"En!"

She looked at her from head to toe. Her gaze was unreadable, but silently clenched her hands.

It's Chyou…

This was the first time she properly saw her granddaughter.

Chyou rubbed her elbow. 

"Does it hurt?" She anxiously asked.

Chyou pursed her lips. "Yes."

"I am really sorry. Come, I will help you."

She helped her stand, and Chyou tugged her dress. She eagerly asked, "Pretty Aunt, you not tell me! How do you look so much like my Mama?"
