Chapter 98

Yan Su, he's really crazy, how can he plant on this woman! This woman is not worthy at all! However, Yan Su's decision, who in this world can make him turn back?

Jasmine looked at the crystal clear sapphire on Zhen Ai's finger, angry and hateful.

She really wanted to talk to Zhen Ai, but there was no chance to be alone at all, Yan Su took her with her everywhere, as if she was afraid that she would disappear from the world in a blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, Yan Su found a bicycle and wanted to take Zhen Ai to the beach.

Jasmine looked bad and dragged out another bike: "It's hard to ride in the sand, so you can have one by one."

Zhen Ai said embarrassedly: "But I won't. "

Jasmine secretly sneered, this woman is too fake, pretending not to ride a bicycle and deliberately letting Yan Su carry her, isn't it disgusting?

But Zhen Ai really can't.,When I started learning when I was a child, I crashed into a tree.,Since then, Arthur has been banned.

Jasmine wanted to talk to Zhen Ai alone, so he proposed, "Zhen Ai, it's not fun to be at the beach, I'll teach you how to ride a bike." 

Zhen Ai had no opinion and nodded: "Okay!" 

Yan Su didn't approve, pulled her long hand, and took her behind her: "She's not feeling well today, next time."

Zhen Ai is cloudy, how do I not know? But in the next second, she understood and blushed.

Jasmine also saw that Yan Su said that she was uncomfortable, which part was uncomfortable, and she was so angry that she watched Yan Su take Zhen Ai away.

After dinner, Yan Su went to find her grandmother and mother alone.

He has always acted in his own way, and if he hadn't asked for marriage, he might not have brought Zhen Ai over to meet his parents so early.

All because he wanted to give Zhen Ai a perfect engagement ceremony.

If he didn't mention the engagement, she wouldn't care if she was stupid. She has been isolated from the outside world for too long, and she does not have so many requirements and persistence in the ceremony.

But even so, he wanted the best for her.

Engagement ceremony, wedding rehearsal, grand wedding, honeymoon trip, thank-you banquet... everything needs to be done.

No need for outsiders, but the blessings of family are essential. He knows that she appears to be dull and wooden, but when it comes to matters related to him, she is perceptive and sensitive.

He has heard that these occasions become a woman's most precious memories and talking points. Even though she is different from other women and doesn't care about such things, he still wants to give her a perfect experience and to see her surprised expression. Yes, he truly enjoys seeing any hint of joy on her calm and beautiful face.

When Yan Su left, he was worried that Zhen Ai might be nervous and bored alone, so he entrusted her to Alica, the manor's nanny, to take her on a tour. Alica had been the family's nanny for a long time and had taken care of Yan Su when he was little. She shared stories about Yan Su's childhood, saying that there were dozens of kids in the family—cousins running all over the yard. 

She mentioned that Yan Su was particularly solitary, often finding himself alone, either squatting under the sun painting the fence, sitting on a ladder in a tree building birdhouses, or hiding in the attic reading books that even adults found incomprehensible. Haili had suspected that something was wrong with him, taking him for various psychological evaluations, screening for autism, social anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and even antisocial behavior.

The final verdict was that, aside from his astonishing intelligence, there was nothing abnormal.

Zhen Ai found this funny yet somewhat sad: "Why was he like that?"

Alica sighed lightly, "At four years old, moving from an ancient Eastern country to here, he was very aware of how out of place he was. His father and Haili had a terrible divorce, filled with mutual hatred. Yan Su wasn't a talkative or obedient child; they didn't want him.

His American grandmother took him in, and later his Chinese grandmother brought him back. His father had long since remarried, and it's said his stepmother was very unkind to him. One time, his American grandmother wanted to see him, took him to play, and found he had been beaten; after that, she never let him leave again. But here, only his grandmother cared for him. Haili was too young, and after the blow of her first marriage, she developed mild depression, behaving extremely and hysterically; kids can see right through it."

Zhen Ai lowered her head in silence, listening quietly.

Though it was a long time ago, and he had grown into a fine man who appeared to be doing well, she couldn't help but feel heartache for him.

After touring the manor, feeling disinterested, she wanted to return to her room to wait for Yan Su and said goodbye to Alica. As she walked down the corridor, she ran into Jasmine, who seemed to be guarding her.

Zhen Ai paused, waiting for Jasmine to speak, but Jasmine only glared at her without responding. Growing impatient, Zhen Ai turned to walk towards her room.

As she was leaving, Jasmine suddenly asked, "Have you heard? BAU created a sketch for that horrifying murder case, and after searching high and low, they found that S.A. matches the sketch perfectly."

Zhen Ai halted, turning to look at her without answering. She already knew. Hearing it again, however, still made her uneasy.

"The court has already approved a restraining order against S.A., temporarily prohibiting him from leaving the country for any reason, or it would be considered fleeing. If it weren't for his skilled lawyer, he'd probably be forced to cooperate with the investigation by now."

Zhen Ai's heart raced, trying to maintain her composure: "He was already planning to cooperate with the police."

Jasmine frowned at that: "Can't you grasp my point? Ha, how many cops are watching him during your trip to Hampton? Though the case isn't public, you know how badly his reputation has been damaged within the police force?"

Zhen Ai fell silent. She didn't know Jasmine's intentions, but that didn't stop her words from causing worry.

"Since he met you, he's encountered a series of strange events: a university explosion, a bank robbery, Silverland, and now this sexual assault case." Jasmine's scrutinizing gaze swept over Zhen Ai, who suddenly appeared remarkably calm, her dark eyes fixed on Jasmine without a trace of tension or fear, much like during Jiang Xin's murder case and Anna's murder case.

Jasmine inwardly sighed, realizing she should have guessed that this girl was not ordinary.

Zhen Ai shoved her hands into her pockets, inadvertently clenching her fists, her expression icy: "What are you trying to say?"
