"Back then, I shouldn't have let them get caught up in the Ye family's conflicts. It's my fault they suffered."
Ye Xianxian spoke with a face full of regret.
Over the years, this matter had always felt like a thorn, deeply embedded in Ye Xianxian's heart.
It filled him with guilt and unease.
He felt like a sinner, constantly blaming himself.
In such family power struggles, Ye Xianxian knew better than anyone how dangerous they could be.
Once, he wanted to keep Ye Feng and his mother hidden away in that small town, living a peaceful life.
But things didn't go as planned, and the Ye family eventually discovered Ye Feng and his mother's identities.
When Ye Xianxian returned to the Ye family, he married a woman from a wealthy family arranged by the family and never had more children.
At that ti, his position as the heir was sowhat unstable, especially with the matriarch.
She had long wanted the old master to change the heir and hand the Ye family over to Ye Xianru, whom she favored more.
Naturally, the old master wouldn't hand the Ye family over to Ye Xianru.
When he learned that Ye Xianxian had a child outside, he imdiately wanted Ye Feng to be recognized as part of the family.
Besides needing Ye Feng to stabilize Ye Xianxian's position, the old master was genuinely impressed with Ye Feng.
After all, starting from scratch and building a ten-billion-dollar business in just a few years was a talent unmatched by the younger generation of the Ye family.
At that ti, Ye Xianxian was strongly opposed to Ye Feng returning, but he couldn't go against the old master's wishes.
If nothing unexpected had happened, the old master would have grood Ye Feng as the true heir of the Ye family.
But no one expected the matriarch to be so ruthless. Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, she took drastic asures against the old master.
This directly led to a series of subsequent events.
Every ti he thought of this, Ye Xianxian felt a deep sense of sorrow and regret.
"Brother, what happened back then was beyond control and unexpected. You shouldn't bla yourself for it."
Ye Changge, standing by, spoke to comfort him.
"Sigh, it's all my fault!"
Ye Xianxian sighed lightly, then changed the topic.
"Sister, if you're going to Danzhou Island for a vacation, could you do sothing for in Liancheng?"
Ye Xianxian suddenly asked.
Ye Changge wasn't planning to return to the Ye family for the New Year. She had long been fed up with that hypocritical, conflict-ridden ho.
If it weren't for Ye Xianxian being trapped in the Ye family, she wouldn't care about anything related to them.
Today, the Ye family was hosting guests, and tomorrow, New Year's Eve, was the family banquet.
According to tradition, every direct and branch family representative of the Ye family had to attend and pay respects to the matriarch.
She intended to do the opposite and wasn't planning to attend. She planned to catch a flight to Danzhou today for a vacation.
Danzhou is the second largest island in Shenzhou, located in the far south, across the sea from Liancheng.
Ye Changge naturally knew about her brother's past in Liancheng.
"Brother, what do you need to do?"
Ye Changge sighed softly.
"Please light an incense stick for your sister-in-law on my behalf."
Ye Xianxian spoke with a heavy heart, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, drawing a trace of blood.
Ye Changge pondered for a mont, then nodded.
In Ye Xianxian's eyes, Chen i was his true wife, while the woman from the wealthy family was only a wife in na. Over the years, they had lived separately without any affection.
Perhaps she was just a pawn placed by the matriarch by his side!
Ye Xianxian had his suspicions but no evidence!
The siblings chatted a bit more before Ye Changge left, preparing to catch her flight to Danzhou.
After Ye Changge left, Ye Xianxian stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, silently gazing at the scenery outside, his eyes filled with endless hatred and a murderous intent...
Liancheng.
In a villa in Changxin Garden, Coco was playing with various toys in the living room, her face full of childlike innocence.
The swelling on her face had subsided, but the red marks were still clearly visible.
Liu Yingying, dressed in casual ho attire, her long hair cascading down, her already graceful figure exuding an alluring charm.
She wore a professional suit, exuding the cool aura of a strong woman.
Without the rigid outfit, her entire deanor changed, becoming more elegantly beautiful.
Like a delicate fairy, she was impossible to ignore.
She sat quietly on the sofa, watching Coco play with an indulgent gaze. Every ti she saw Coco happy, it was her happiest mont.
But when she saw the lingering handprint on Coco's face, she couldn't help but resent Ding Xue from the Liu family.
Although Liu Yingying wasn't a petty woman, when it ca to her feelings and Coco, she couldn't tolerate any grievances.
Seeing Coco's brow and contours, she suddenly felt a bit dazed, reminded of Ye Feng, the man who still made her heart bleed.
For two days, she tried to forget the scene at the restaurant, but she couldn't. His figure kept flashing in her mind.
Especially the scene of Su Weiwei helping him wipe his forehead, which lingered in her heart.
Thinking of this, she almost burst into tears.
"Mama, please don't cry, okay?"
At this mont, Coco put down her toy and ran to Liu Yingying, looking at her tear-filled eyes.
Though young, she was very perceptive and knew her mother was unhappy, understanding how to comfort her at such a young age.
Liu Yingying quickly picked up Coco, kissing her tender cheek like a treasure, calming her emotions.
"How about Mama takes Coco shopping?"
Liu Yingying smiled and said.
"Okay!"
Coco imdiately jumped with joy.
Like a little angel, she bounced on the sofa.
"Alright, Mama will change Coco's clothes first."
With that, she carried Coco upstairs to her room.
Coco obediently wrapped her arms around Liu Yingying's fair neck, planting a kiss on her mother's cheek, smiling happily!
Liu Yingying's heart was actually in turmoil, but she didn't want to bring any negative emotions to her daughter.
Forcing herself to put on a cheerful face.
The mother and daughter quickly changed their clothes.
The older one was graceful and beautiful, dressed exquisitely, a true beauty, sure to catch eyes on the street.
The younger one wore a thick red cotton jacket, a small felt hat on her head, a large scarf around her neck, her chubby cheeks adorably cute.
Whether it was the Liu family's desire for the company or seeing Ye Feng, these things disturbed Liu Yingying's mind.
Her mood had been gloomy for days, shrouded in a haze.
Now, taking advantage of the break, she decided to relax and have a good ti with her daughter.
To make up for the love she lacked due to work.
The pair, one big and one small, headed out energetically.
The world is vast, but Liancheng is small.
For two people in the sa city, eting by chance without planning is less likely than winning the lottery.
But such a thing happened to Liu Yingying.
And she ran into Ye Feng!
As Liu Yingying carried Coco out of the neighborhood, she almost ca face to face with Ye Feng.
They were only a few ters apart, both stunned, staring at each other in disbelief.
Only the little one, with her bright, watery eyes, stared intently at Ye Feng, who was so close.
"Daddy!"
A tender voice burst out.
