As soon as Ye Yan finished speaking, Xiao Yu's familiar voice came over the phone. ”You're at Miss He's house?”

She only felt that Xiao Yu's voice was a little hoarse. It must have been caused by his constant footsteps back from Rome and the fact that he hadn't rested. Thinking of this, Ye Yan Xi was silent for a while.

”Yes, we're here.” His voice was still as soft as before, as if he was afraid of offending someone. ”So, you don't have to worry.”

After she finished speaking, the two rarely seen people on the phone went silent, as if they could still hear Xiao Yu's light breathing. Ye Yan Xi didn't hurry to take off the phone, but after a while, Xiao Yu's voice sounded again, ”I really did know that you are Madam He's daughter.”

Xiao Yu admitted it before Ye Yan Xi could ask.

With regards to this matter, Ye Yan Xi had originally been thinking this in a daze. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yu would personally admit it. This also confirmed her suspicions.

Ye Yan Xi's voice paused for a while, and then she asked, ”If Madame Jiang didn't bring me to the Jiang manor, you wouldn't …” You won't tell me the truth in this lifetime? ”

Xiao Yu decisively replied, ”Yes.”

”Alright, I understand.” Ye Yan Xi's heart was not able to describe what she felt. Perhaps she was a bit pleased, ”Thank you for telling me the truth.”

”If I were to go back in time, even if I had to do it again, I would choose to hide it from you.”

Listening to Xiao Yu's words, Ye Yanxi looked up at the rising sun in the east. The blue sky was like an inverted plate, and her mood was as clear and pure as the sky.

After a night of thinking, her mind had regained its clarity.

Bending her head and biting her lips, Ye Yan Xi spoke again without hesitation, ”I'll stay here for a while. Once I've thought everything through, I'll go back.”

Xiao Yu's voice also contained a hint of happiness, ”En, I'll wait for you. I'll handle this at the company.”

”Thank you.”

The question now was not whether or not he could figure it out, but whether or not he could accept it was the truth.

And what she needed to do now was to accept all of this. Facing herself, after knowing the truth, she realized that she wasn't as strong as before.

She had said that regardless of who her parents were or how they were, after sixteen years, everything had become light and peaceful. However, when everything happened, there would still be grievances. Why did Jiang Fanzhen not take her away? She also blamed Ye Junze for selfishly adopting her for so many years without telling her the truth. He had been separated from his birth mother for a full 16 years. She also blamed Xiao Yu for not telling her who her real parents were even though he already knew.

In her heart, she had always been an orphan, a fatherless orphan!

However, no matter how resentful she was, Jiang Chang Zhen was the person who brought her to this world. Even if she didn't have Jiang Chang Zhen, she still wouldn't be here.

Although Ye Junze selfishly kept her by his side, she had seen how nice he had been to her over the years. Sometimes, it was even better than being with Ye Weiqi and Ye Minghao.

Xiao Yu had always cared about her as well, and didn't tell her because it was for his own good.

This time, she had come all the way from Rome to save her. Ye Yan Xi had felt relieved the moment she saw Xiao Yu appear. She didn't blame him anymore.

However, although she understood that these people were doing this for her own good, she still couldn't face them that quickly, much less face Shaw and her own ugly thoughts.

She had thought a lot that night, from the initial rebuke to the final relief, as if you knew there was light ahead of you in the alley, and you had refused to take a step forward, just wanted to hide in the darkness.

For the past few days, Ye Yan's mood had been fluctuating between bright and dark. Thus, He Chuyan took the initiative to take a rest and stay at home with her to prevent her from getting into a dead end again.

For her to be able to do this, He Chuyan had to busy herself day after day trying to make her happy. This made Ye Yanxi feel a little guilty.

”Yanyan, just relax and go to work. I'm fine by myself, I won't run around.” Ye Yan Xi immediately promised He Chu Yan with a sincere look on her face.

She then picked up the remote control and changed the channel, ”I've already told my superior to take a rest. If I go again, I still have to work on the weekends, I'm so silly, I won't go if I don't go.”

”You … ”Sigh …” Ye Yanxi felt moved as she sat next to her.

It was soon going to be Valentine's Day, so most of the programs on TV were all about Valentine's Day. There was just a piece of news about Valentine's Day, and all the streets and alleys were filled with a thick festive atmosphere, and the flower shops were selling all of their roses. There were even a lot of fruit stores that had whimsical ideas and packaged couples' fruits.

Seeing the host excitedly announcing this news, She Chuyan snorted in disdain.

”Now, these merchants have really thought of a way to stimulate their consumers and stimulate their customers' consumption. Isn't it just Valentine's Day?” Helian Haoyan said speechlessly, ”That rose is also the same. Usually no one looks at it, but now the price is enough for me to buy a set of clothes.”

She then heard He Chuyan's unsatisfied tone. Ye Yan Xi smiled, ”There's always a market when there's demand. Don't you see that this period has brought the relationship closer? Anyway, there are still benefits.”

”Other festivals are fine, but look at this Valentine's Day, what's with the East and West, and also the white and red Valentine's Day? Oh right, there's also the 520, 521 etc.
