Chen Yichen smiled when he confirmed he hadn’t recognized the wrong person. His calm and expressive eyes reflected her inclined little face.

She was a complete mess on the street corner and looked like a homeless child.

The afterglow of the sunset shone in diagonally from the end of the street, and Yun Xi’s exquisite, tiny face was cast into sharp shadows under the sunlight.

There was a halo on her fair skin when she looked up at him without any ulterior motives whatsoever.

Her dark and thick eyelashes trembled slightly; she appeared like the most magnificent gem in the world.

As for the man standing before her—he was dressed elegantly in a white s.h.i.+rt with black pants, his figure tall and stately.

Yun Xi blinked. The man in front of her was only a few years older than her, yet he already possessed the aura that belonged to a dangerous, lethal beauty.

He was elegant and gorgeous.

His aura was elegant, and his face was gorgeous.

He offered a hand to her and smiled devilishly. Taking advantage of his older age, he didn’t treat her as an outsider at all, “Little Yun Xi, are you homeless now?”

“You really like to poke fun at people’s pains!” Yun Xi bit her lip in exasperation as she gave him a glare.

This guy was an angel one moment, then a devil in the next!

“Don’t just stare off into s.p.a.ce; get up! I’ll take you home!”

He owed her for saving his life, and now that they’ve run into each other again. He felt that he needed to find an opportunity to properly repay her. He wasn’t one to have a habit of owing other people favors!

Yun Xi allowed him to help her stand up as she carefully studied the st.i.tched up and dressed the wound on his neck. She pointed to the wound and asked, “You don’t need to stay at the hospital for observation?”

“No.” Chen Yichen slowed his speech, “Why are you here? Weren’t you supposed to go home?”

Yun Xi shrugged helplessly when he mentioned this topic. She turned to look at Jiang Wanyun walking over and nodded politely to her. “Madam.”

“Girl, didn’t you go home?” Jiang Wanyun walked over to them.

“I did go back, but my cousin came a day earlier and replaced me. Now my mom is accepting her but rejecting me, so she thinks I’m an imposter and that my cousin is her real daughter.”

The Jiangs were going to learn about this sooner or later, so Yun Xi didn’t see anything she needed to hide.

“How could this be? What kind of mother would refuse to accept her own child? No matter what, how could she possibly accept the wrong child?”

Jiang Wanyun also thought the whole incident was unbelievable; she had never actually met a mother who acted like that!

Yun Xi smiled wryly and gave a simple explanation of the events before selling them the reason why she was here.
