Translator: Draaon Boat Translation Editor: Draaon Boat Translation
Although she had been mulling it over at home for several days, she had yet to give any reply to the Nangong family. She didn’t even fully understand what was going on. Nangong Xuyao’s favorability towards her had suddenly dropped and she felt it must be related to Ye Lengan, though she couldn’t guess the exact reason.
However, remembering what Huangfu Ruiling had said to Nangong Xuyao at the banquet, she felt very uneasy. She didn’t know if Nangong Xuyao’s sudden change was because he had found out she wasn’t really his savior.
But thinking it over carefully, if Nangong Xuyao really knew, why hadn’t he come to her to get to the bottom of it? If he came to confront her, she’d at least have a chance to defend herself. This sudden coldness left her truly at a loss.
The only thing giving her some peace of mind was that Murong Yanshu’s favorable impression of her had not changed at all. This was still very beneficial for her.
Just as Ye Xiyuan was pondering this, there was a knock at the door.
The only ones who would knock at this time were family. Ye Xiyuan directly told them to come in.
When the door opened and she saw it was Ye Anyun, she looked surprised, then directly asked, “Brother, why are you here at this time? What’s the matter?”
Clearly, Ye Anyun’s sudden visit took her aback. Perhaps it was due to the gender difference, even though they were siblings by blood, they hadn’t grown up together, so Ye Anyun rarely came to her room on ordinary days. Even if there were any matters to discuss, they would usually do so in the living room or study.
“Xiyuan, how is your arm now?” Ye Anyun glanced at the bandages wrapped around Ye Xiyuan’s arm and asked, “Does it still hurt?”
“I’m fine, much better now,” Ye Xiyuan said leaning against the headboard with a smile. “Although the wounds look bad, most are superficial and should fully heal after some time.”
“That’s good.” Ye Anyun nodded.
Then he opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.
“Brother, if you have something to say, just come out with it!” Seeing Ye Anyun’s hesitant manner, Ye Xiyuan frowned. “I’m your sister. There’s nothing we can’t discuss!”
“Xiyuan, um…” After thinking for a moment, Ye Anyun suddenly asked, “What’s going on between you and Young Master Nangong recently? During the time you were injured, it seems like he never came to visit you. Did you have some unpleasant disagreement?”
Ye Anyun’s words were like a sharp knife, piercing directly into the center of Ye Xiyuan’s heart. However, she managed to suppress her discomfort, putting on a smiling face and saying, “Brother Nangong has been really busy with work lately, and it was me who told him not to come over to avoid disrupting his work. Besides, it’s not a big deal, I just need a few days of rest, and I’ll be fine.’
After hearing Ye Xiyuan’s words, Ye Anyun nodded. Then there was another awkward silence.
Ye Xiyuan couldn’t take it anymore. Just as she was about to speak, she heard
Ye Anyun’s words.
“Xiyuan, actually I came today because I really do need your help with something.” Ye Anyun took a deep breath and said, “You should know about Qiaomeng and me. Qiaomeng is still being held by the police. I want to ask if you have any way to help get her out?”
If he could, he really didn’t want to come and ask Ye Xiyuan for help today.
Even though Ye Xiyuan was his own biological sister, he cared for her deeply.
However, asking her for help suddenly made him feel somewhat tongue-tied. But now, apart from Ye Xiyuan, there was no one else who could help him.
“Brother, do you still have feelings for Li Qiaomeng?” Ye Xiyuan frowned. “If Dad finds out, he definitely won’t let it go easily.”
“No,” Ye Anyun quickly shook his head and continued, “Xiyuan, you’ve misunderstood. It’s true, in the past I really liked Li Qiaomeng. But after she did that for vanity, I’d already decided to break up with her..”
