“Zixin, are you alright?” Seeing Lian Zixin!s state, Lian ngzhu frowned and remarked, “How could you be so careless? Did you get scalded?”
“I’m fine.” Lian Zixin forced a smile and replied, “I…I’ll go back and change my clothes first. You guys chat!”
With that, she stood up and left without waiting for anyone else to respond. However, after taking a few steps, Ye Leng’an’s cold voice unexpectedly sounded from behind her.
“By the way, Ms. Lian, I’m seventeen this year. I’m the sa age as Ye Wanwan!”
No one present understood what Ye Lengan ant. Both Lian ngzhu and Ye Wanwan were surprised by Ye Leng’an’s sudden revelation of her age.
Only Lian Zixin, upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, halted briefly. Despite not turning back, she quickened her pace and left the hall.
Observing Lian Zixin’s hurried departure, Lian ngzhu couldn’t help but frown. Her sister seed unusually off today, perhaps since she laid eyes on that bracelet. However, she couldn’t comprehend what made a simple bracelet so significant. Furthermore, Ye Anan’s actions were perplexing. Visiting them just for a bracelet? Was there a concealed secret?
As the matriarch of a prominent family, Lian ngzhu was far from naive. She was certain that sothing peculiar had occurred today. However, questioning Ye An’an was not an option. Besides the difference in status, there was no assurance of receiving a response. Therefore, she decided to approach Zixin after Ye An’an’s departure.
Having achieved her goal, Ye Lengan had no intention of lingering. Rising with a smile, she spoke, “Mrs. Ye, it’s getting late. Ling is still waiting for at ho. I’ll head back now.”
Lian ngzhu found Ye An’an’s abrupt departure even more bewildering. However, since Ye An’an had already ntioned the head of the Huangfu family, she couldn’t insist on her staying.
Soon, Ye Lengan left the Ye family.
anwhile, Lian Zixin had returned to her guest room. Because Yan Chenlang and Yan Xiaolei are now cultivating in the Ye family, and Lian ngzhu cared much for her sister Lian Zixin, the Ye family provided Lian Zixin with an exclusive guest room.
Remaining in the room, Lian Zixin’s complexion was devoid of color, resembling soone who had suffered a great blow and might collapse at any mont.
Indeed, she felt on the verge of breaking down. The appearance of the bracelet today stirred mories of a past event. Back then, after exchanging her daughter with her sister’s, she sent the infant to the mortal world. She hadn’t left the child in the Hidden World to prevent potential issues. She would not allow anyone to snatch away what rightfully belonged to her daughter.
Upon returning from the mortal world, she discovered the loss of a bracelet. At the ti, it seed inconsequential, just a piece of jewelry she had plenty of. However, seeing the sa bracelet today, in the possession of Ye An’an, triggered questions. What did Ye An’an an by her words before leaving? She ntioned being seventeen this year, coincidentally the sa age she left the infant in the mortal world.
Back then, she had given the child to a family with the surna Ye, both coincidental and driven by her own desire. She wanted the child to bear the surna Ye. Her own daughter would grow up in the luxurious lifestyle of the Ye family, becoming an exceptional alchemist inheriting everything. anwhile, the child, despite sharing the surna Ye, would remain an ordinary girl in the mortal world.
When the two children grew up, her child would surpass her sisters child by a significant margin. This comparison made it seem as if she could triumph over her sister.
With ti, she gradually forgot her initial thoughts, deliberately erasing the child in the mortal world from her mory. Yet, Ye Anan’s appearance today brought it all back. Could Ye An’an be that child?
No, that was impossible. If Ye An’an truly was that child, why wouldn’t she acknowledge to be a mber of the Ye family? Moreover, she had handed the child to an ordinary family back then, making it impossible for them to enter the Hidden World.
Yes, she was overthinking things.
Everything should be fine. Seventeen years had passed, and there was no way this secret could be exposed.
Despite self-assurance, Lian Zixin’s unease only grew. It felt as though the situation had spiraled beyond her control, rendering her unable to predict the outco.
As Lian Zixin remained lost in her thoughts, Lian ngzhu had entered the room. Although she had knocked for a while without receiving a response, Lian ngzhu, considering Zixin’s earlier condition, pushed the door open out of concern.
However, upon entering, she found Lian Zixin sitting on the bed, her eyes distant and unfocused. She seed oblivious to Lian ngzhu’s entrance.
Approaching the bedside, Lian ngzhu extended her hand, placing it on Lian Zixin’s forehead. The sudden warmth jolted Lian Zixin awake. Startled, she instinctively tried to push the person in front of her away.
Yet, upon realizing it was her sister Lian ngzhu, she ceased her actions.
“Sis, why are you here?” Lian Zixin quickly forced a smile, concealing her true emotions. “Aren’t you supposed to be accompanying the guest in the hall?”
“Miss Ye has already left.” Lian ngzhu looked at Lian Zixin with concern. “Seeing your complexion earlier, I was worried you might be unwell. Zixin, I should call a physician to examine you! Your complexion is truly dreadful, devoid of any color.”
“I’m fine.” Lian Zixin promptly declined. “l probably had a restless night’s sleep, causing my current appearance. I’ll go back and get so good rest; I’ll recover soon.”
Seeing Zixin’s insistence, Lian ngzhu refrained from further comnts.. After a mont of contemplation, she asked, “Zixin, is there sothing between you and Miss Ye? Or did you know each other in the past?”
