Capítulo 972: Chapter 973: Li Yuan Didn’t Answer Your Call?
Li Yuan ca to Jingcheng at the age of 20, and according to Qin Sijue’s knowledge, the only ones he could count as friends were him, Gu Qiangwei, and Huo Yishan.
The matter of lifelong importance, how could he not notify this old friend?
Gazing into the man’s slightly aningful eyes, Gu Qiangwei was slightly stunned.
“Do you an—”
Just as she was about to speak, the sound of footsteps ca from the stairs.
They turned their heads and saw that Huo Yishan had finished her shower.
Since she was at soone else’s house, after her shower she didn’t wear pajamas, but a set of comfortable ho clothes.
“Brother is back.”
The title ‘Brother’ took Gu Qiangwei by surprise.
“Brother?”
“Yes, when I was young, I only knew I had a godbrother, but I never knew it was my good friend’s husband!” Huo Yishan stepped down the stairs with a lighthearted gait.
Gu Qiangwei was stunned, turning to glance at the man beside her.
“You and Yishan are godsiblings?”
“Yes.”
“How co you never told ?”
Faced with her question, Qin Sijue furrowed his brow, not knowing how to respond.
In fact, regarding Huo Yishan as the godsister, he only knew of her existence; it wasn’t until he later learned she was the daughter of his adoptive father that he realized the godbrother he had never t was actually Huo Yishan.
“Because he also found out later.” Huo Yishan said, walking to a single sofa chair diagonally opposite them and sitting down, casually picking up a sliced orange to eat.
Seeing Huo Yishan, Gu Qiangwei no longer had the mind to care about their god-sibling relationship, instead asking, “Yishan, who gave you that invitation?”
She had wanted to hide all her thoughts behind a forced smile, but they were still revealed. Huo Yishan paused in her eating, the paleness on her face disappearing quickly.
“Who else could it be? Of course, it’s them.” She lowered her head, the orange in her hand already tasteless.
“Li Yuan?” Gu Qiangwei asked again.
Huo Yishan lifted her eyes slightly to look at Gu Qiangwei, then lowered them again, “No, it’s… Ruan Qiuting.”
Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei seed to instantly understand sothing. She turned to look at Qin Sijue, eting his gaze. Both seed to already understand why only Yishan received an invitation.
“Yishan, before you returned, did you say goodbye to Li Yuan?”
Upon being asked this, Huo Yishan’s face turned a shade paler. In her heart, that faint pain resurfaced.
She couldn’t rember when it started, but the feeling grew stronger and stronger, so strong that each ti it felt like a cold sharp sword rcilessly digging into her, and the pain almost spread throughout her body, leaving nowhere to hide.
“When I ca back, he happened to be away on a business trip, maybe busy with the engagent, so he didn’t answer my calls.” She replied softly, feeling that the sweet orange tasted incredibly bitter at that mont.
Listening to her words, Gu Qiangwei was montarily stunned, glancing at Qin Sijue before turning back to her, “Li Yuan didn’t take your call?”
“Yes.” She lowered her face slightly, the pain in her heart intensifying.
Gu Qiangwei was very surprised; she couldn’t believe that Li Yuan wouldn’t answer Yishan’s call.
“When did you call? Maybe, at that ti, he was just busy, so he didn’t get your call?”
Huo Yishan looked up. She certainly had considered that possibility.
“A little past eight last night. If that’s the case, he should have seen the missed call today and known I called him, right?”
