Ye Yuning took a deep breath.
"I swear, until half a month ago, I never knew your identity. I never had any idea!"
"Half a month ago?"
Ye Yuning replied, "Yes, I only found out half a month ago myself, not much earlier than you did."
"But you didn’t tell ."
"What should I have said?"
Tell his mother? Tell him, and everything between them would have collapsed right then. And what was he doing at that ti? Doubting... no, he was certain that the child in her womb wasn’t his! At that critical mont, what did he expect her to say?
Xiao Linye’s eyes darkened, his gaze on her growing sharper.
Suddenly, Ye Yuning also found herself at a loss for words. The tender intimacy they once shared had vanished, leaving them with nothing to say to each other.
This was the sorrow of many couples, a pain that many could not bear.
Ye Yuning had never imagined she would one day bear such a heavy burden and such pain.
After a long silence, Xiao Linye spoke again. "Where do you want to go next?"
Ye Yuning was silent.
Go where?
"What do you an?"
"Leave Upper City. You can go anywhere you want. If you need compensation, I can provide that as well."
Ye Yuning was speechless.
Leave! So he now thought their relationship wasn’t just a joke, but a disgrace? Was he worried that if she stayed, the truth would eventually be exposed to everyone? So, his intention now was for her to leave Upper City?
He was truly Old Master Xiao’s son. Their ways of doing things and their thinking were exactly the sa.
Ye Yuning had more she wanted to say, but now it seed unnecessary.
"Where I go is no longer your concern."
"Yuning, you should have realized our relationship was a mistake the mont you learned my identity."
"You don’t need to say anything more. I’ll leave within three days."
A mistake. He called it a mistake!
Listening to his cold and decisive tone, Ye Yuning knew that although their relationship had seed harmonious, she had been the only one invested in it from beginning to end. Xiao Linye had always only looked out for himself. Otherwise, how could he be so indifferent now that things had co to this?
eting his icy gaze, the pain in Ye Yuning’s heart made it difficult for her to breathe.
When Xiao Linye heard she would leave within three days, his expression stiffened for a mont but quickly smoothed over.
He nodded and stood up. "If there’s anything you need, just tell ."
"There’s no need. I don’t require anything."
Since they had reached this point... "Then don’t contact in the future either," Ye Yuning said.
Xiao Linye’s retreating figure stiffened.
In his eyes, unseen by Ye Yuning, an even deeper, suffocating chill swirled with oppressive coldness.
Seeing Ye Yuning’s resolve, he said nothing more and walked straight to the door.
The mont his hand touched the doorknob, sothing occurred to him.
He turned back to Ye Yuning and said, "Oh, right. Shang Yu isn’t a good person. You shouldn’t cooperate with him."
"In my heart, you’re not a good person either. My collaboration with you didn’t exactly leave skinned to the bone, so what’s one Shang Yu to ?"
Xiao Linye choked, "You..."
Not a good person! Yes, during their collaboration, he truly hadn’t been a good person to her.
"Shang Yu is very dangerous."
"That shouldn’t be the concern of a man who’s about to get married again."
Ye Yuning flared up, her tone completely devoid of patience.
What was he doing? He had let go of her so decisively and indifferently; why bother feigning such concern now?
The phrase "about to get married again" made Xiao Linye’s face stiffen.
Suppressing his anger, he closed his eyes for a mont. Ultimately, he said nothing more and pulled the door open, then left.
The mont the door closed, Ye Yuning trembled with anger.
Not a good person, was he? Just as she had said, in her heart, he wasn’t a good person either.
The spark of defiance she had felt towards Old Master Xiao fizzled out after this eting with Xiao Linye. Suddenly, Ye Yuning felt utterly drained.
When Chen Wei ca in, she heard Ye Yuning say, "Help sell the house in Xiangti, and also find a suitable villa for in Luozhou."
She’d had enough of Upper City.
It was better to leave this place, which was full of troubles for her; she didn’t want to stay any longer.
Since she was going to leave, she should make a clean break.
Chen Wei nodded. "Okay."
Having seen Xiao Linye storm out of the office in a fury, Chen Wei had been a bit worried about Ye Yuning.
Their relationship had been so good before; such a sudden turn of events was bound to be distressing.
But seeing Ye Yuning’s deanor now, Chen Wei realized her concern had been unnecessary.
