Chapter 553: Chapter 552: Confirming the Relationship

Huang Yanquan heard Yiyi’s words, nodded, and said, "Alright, speak with your mother as soon as possible. She’s been looking after me these past few days and must be tired. If you return to Shangjing, she can have a proper rest."

"Mm."

Yiyi naturally nodded.

When she saw her mother, Yiyi mentioned this matter to her.

After hearing that Huang Yanquan wanted them to return to Shangjing soon, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but show a face full of doubt, "What exactly is A Quan thinking? His health hasn’t recovered yet, and he’s thinking about us leaving first. What if he encounters danger again?" She felt uneasy and didn’t want to leave so soon.

Seeing her mother’s hesitation, Yiyi didn’t say more and simply replied, "Mom, I also think Uncle Huang’s situation isn’t very safe. Let’s stay a bit longer. However, Tingyu has to return for work, so he’ll be heading back earlier."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but say, "Yiyi, you can actually go back with Tingyu. I’ll take care of A Quan here, and you don’t need to worry."

Yiyi quickly said, "Mom, I’m on summer break anyway, so let’s stay together. Otherwise, there’s not much to do back home."

Ding Yuejun said, "Your pharmaceutical company is quite busy, so why not go back with Tingyu?" She actually felt she could manage just fine taking care of Huang Yanquan herself, and she hadn’t felt any danger during her stay in Hong Kong.

Yiyi didn’t dare to leave her mother alone, so she directly replied, "Mom, this is my first time in Hong Kong. I’ve been busy the past few days and haven’t had a chance to explore. Why don’t we return together later? I can enjoy these days and explore properly."

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Ding Yuejun refrained from saying more.

When Huang Yanquan learned of Ding Yuejun’s decision, he couldn’t help but smile, but soon he composed himself and spoke with Ding Yuejun personally.

"Yue Jun, I know you’re worried about me, but I’m really fine here. So you should return with Yiyi and the others; otherwise, Old Master Ding will be anxious."

Seeing Huang Yanquan also persuading her to return, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but frown, "A Quan, why do you want me to return to Shangjing? You know your injuries haven’t healed yet, and your brother along with those scheming against you are still lurking. I can’t bring myself to leave you in Hong Kong."

Upon hearing Ding Yuejun’s words, Huang Yanquan couldn’t help but hold her hand, smiling as he said, "Yue Jun, are you worried about me?"

Feeling the warmth in her palm, Ding Yuejun blushed, then glared at him and replied, "Of course I’m worried about you. Otherwise, why would I rush here from Shangjing?"

Huang Yanquan felt sweeter than honey, knowing that after all his efforts, he finally had a place in Yue Jun’s heart. He was overjoyed and even more determined to handle the matters at hand quickly so he could return to Shangjing and be with Yue Jun.

After saying this, Ding Yuejun felt a bit embarrassed and couldn’t help but give Huang Yanquan a glowering look.

Huang Yanquan still smiled as he held her hand and finally said, "Yue Jun, I know you’re worried about me, but I must reclaim what my brother did to me. I’m concerned that if you stay here, you’ll become my only vulnerability."

Hearing Huang Yanquan’s words, Ding Yuejun was taken aback.

She hadn’t considered it before, but secretly felt happy knowing she was Huang Yanquan’s sole weak spot, yet she was also worried.

"But A Quan, with such serious injuries, are you truly able to handle your brother? Not to mention Jia Minghuan, who stabbed you in the back."

Seeing Ding Yuejun’s face full of concern, Huang Yanquan quickly said, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, and I certainly won’t put myself in danger. Trust me."

Looking into Huang Yanquan’s eyes, Ding Yuejun instinctively nodded, "Alright, I understand. I won’t stay to hinder you. I’ll leave with Tingyu when they go back."

Seeing Ding Yuejun agree to leave, Huang Yanquan couldn’t help but say, "Once everything is settled here, I will go back to Shangjing to find you."

Ding Yuejun nodded.

But then Huang Yanquan brought up a previous matter, "Have you thought about it? Can you give me an answer now?"

Even though he knew Ding Yuejun truly cared for him, he was afraid she might refuse him because of the age difference between them.

Initially, Ding Yuejun didn’t understand what the previous matter was. Seeing Huang Yanquan’s look, she slowly realized and firmly replied, "I can give you an answer now. I like you too and want to be with you."

Reflecting on the torment of not being able to find Huang Yanquan before, she realized nothing is more important than life itself. Unforeseen events can occur at any time, and if Huang Yanquan hadn’t been lucky enough to escape this ordeal, they would have been forever separated. So there’s no point in hesitating; cherishing the present is most important.

When Huang Yanquan heard Ding Yuejun’s words, he became so excited that he forgot about his injuries and sat up, "Yue Jun, is this true?"

Ding Yuejun quickly said, "Lie down immediately; you’re still seriously injured."

Yet Huang Yanquan stubbornly held her hand, asking, "Yue Jun, is it true?"

Ding Yuejun quickly nodded and said, "Yes, it’s true, so please lie down."

"Yue Jun, pinch me to see if I’m dreaming."

Upon hearing these words, Ding Yuejun felt a bit sad, realizing Huang Yanquan’s lack of self-confidence and cautious nature.

But it also showed Huang Yanquan’s genuine affection for her.

"Okay, lie down now. Doesn’t your body hurt?"

At this point, Huang Yanquan realized his previous movement had pulled at his wounds, causing intense pain that seemed to churn his insides. He then finally believed what Ding Yuejun said was true and contentedly lay back down.

"Yue Jun, after you return to Shangjing, I’ll call you every day, so you really don’t need to worry. Once I’m done here, I’ll come straight to you."

Ding Yuejun nodded with a smile.

Having just confirmed their relationship, the two felt they had endless things to talk about. But seeing that Huang Yanquan was seriously injured and needed rest, Ding Yuejun spoke with him for a while before urging him to sleep, then returned to her room.

Yiyi soon learned from her mother that she planned to leave with them. After speaking with Huang Yanquan and knowing he had plans for the matters at hand, she felt reassured.
