Ye Xunhuan fell into silence once again, utterly unsure of how to begin.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan could feel that every word Wang Zilin uttered was genuinely heartfelt and completely true!
But what difference does it make?
What needed to happen has already happened.
Just as Ye Xunhuan was silent, Wang Zilin suddenly stood up from the ground: "Ye Xunhuan, I hate you!"
After throwing these words at Ye Xunhuan, Wang Zilin suddenly ran off to the side, with no warning at all.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan was about to chase after her, but before he could take a step, a clear voice suddenly entered his ears.
"Don’t chase, I’ll go and check on her!"
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Xunhuan immediately looked toward the source.
In the next moment, a woman wearing a thin sweater and jeans appeared in Ye Xunhuan’s vision.
The woman’s figure was the perfect standard S-curve, a figure countless women dreamed of.
"Why are you here?"
Earlier, due to the questions raised by Wang Zilin, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t paid attention to his surroundings, besides, this was Ye Xunhuan’s own territory, leading him to drop his guard completely, unaware of Dongfang Shu’s unexpected appearance here.
"I was planning to see Aunt Wang, didn’t expect to run into you and Zilin here, so I didn’t dare to come out!"
Dongfang Shu had met Wang Zilin before and had interacted with her, so naturally, she knew Wang Zilin and was aware that Wang Zilin was Aunt Wang’s daughter.
But what Dongfang Shu didn’t foresee was that Wang Zilin was actually the daughter of the Sovereign.
If this got out, who knows what kind of storm it would stir up.
He was the Sovereign, the Protector of Hua Xia, and if he were still alive, Wang Zilin would indeed be an undisputed little princess!
"Did you hear everything?"
"I..."
"It’s nothing, if you heard it, you heard it; as long as you keep it to yourself!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t speak of it!" Dongfang Shu said softly, "I’ll go check on her now!"
"Thank you!"
"Why are you being polite with me." Dongfang Shu responded warmly, "I know you’re feeling bad, I understand, but don’t worry, once Zilin figures things out, everything will be fine."
Initially, Dongfang Shu intended to use Ye Xunhuan, offering her body as a bargaining chip to get his help, but now she had fallen in love with Ye Xunhuan.
Moreover, were it not for Ye Xunhuan, Dongfang Shu wouldn’t be living so comfortably now.
Therefore, Dongfang Shu naturally cared a lot about matters concerning Ye Xunhuan.
"I know, go check on Zilin!"
Without saying anything more, Dongfang Shu stood and left.
Watching Dongfang Shu’s departing figure, Ye Xunhuan sighed softly.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but marvel at how fate toys with people.
Aunt Wang was actually the Sovereign’s woman and even gave birth to a daughter with him.
Most importantly, the Sovereign was Ye Xunhuan’s enemy.
Sighing bitterly, Ye Xunhuan also left the scene.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t wander around aimlessly but returned to the manor.
In the manor, Olivia was sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sunlight, but her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, clearly troubled by something.
When Olivia saw Ye Xunhuan walking in from outside, her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Then Olivia glanced behind Ye Xunhuan a couple of times, and upon not seeing Wang Zilin, she immediately asked, "Where’s Zilin?"
"She..."
After uttering a single word, Ye Xunhuan suddenly wasn’t sure how to continue.
Seeing this, Olivia seemed to realize something, her face slightly changed: "You didn’t tell Zilin everything, did you?"
Ye Xunhuan nodded.
"Oh, you, you’re so stubborn, aren’t you missing a brain cell?" Olivia immediately pointed at Ye Xunhuan and said, "How could you tell her all that?"
"I didn’t want to either, but..."
"But what!" Olivia said, frustrated, "Don’t you know Zilin completely regarded you as family, like her big brother? And you suddenly tell her you killed her biological father!"
"Brother, you are her most respected big brother, and you abruptly tell her this, your image in her mind crumbled instantly, and she definitely can’t accept it all!"
Olivia had a close relationship with Wang Zilin, and Wang Zilin was introverted and somewhat shy, having few close friends.
But Olivia was absolutely one of them, a true older sister figure, so Wang Zilin would often confide in Olivia.
Because of this, Olivia knew how important Ye Xunhuan was in Wang Zilin’s heart, Wang Zilin even told Olivia once that if she graduated, found a boyfriend, and Ye Xunhuan didn’t approve, she would seek Olivia’s help.
And now it was all ruined, Ye Xunhuan’s entire image crumbled in Wang Zilin’s mind.
"But eventually she has to face it!"
"How come you suddenly got so naive, where’s your skill in spreading lies, in seducing women into bed?" Olivia said harshly, "Would it kill you to lie to her a bit? She’d have been willing to let you deceive her, she was willing to weave a lie for herself, so she could live in that lie, why couldn’t you let her live in her own lie, why did you have to tell her this brutal truth!"
"How could you be so cruel?"
At that moment, Olivia began to criticize Ye Xunhuan, and her words were quite severe.
"I didn’t feel any of what you’re saying, I..."
"Can’t you sense it?" Olivia interrupted Ye Xunhuan, "Now look, what will you do?"
"And if one day Zilin comes to kill you with a knife, to avenge the Sovereign, what will you do, kill Zilin, injure her severely, or imprison her?"
Ye Xunhuan stayed silent, he truly didn’t know what to do.
After all, it was Wang Zilin, not the Sovereign or someone else!
