986 The Atmosphere Was A Little Awkward
Actually, Ye Qiu had already known the truth a long time ago, but he didn’t lay his cards on the table. Because this feeling was really strange! In order to avoid embarrassment, he could only continue this relationship.
Of course, Ye Wuhen also knew in his heart that the feelings between men might be more reserved. He would only silently pay attention but never say anything emotional.
This was also the reason why Ye Qiu was at ease letting Linglong and Ye Wuhen go home. He didn’t blame Ye Wuhen for what happened back then. Ye Qiu knew very well how desperate and helpless he was back then. He had done everything a father should do. Under that situation, even if Ye Qiu did it himself, he might not be able to do it as well as him.
Therefore, the past was in the past! Ye Qiu didn’t want to investigate further, nor did he want to recall the pain and torture. He had already taken a huge step forward at this point. His mental state had long reached the illumination realm, and his perspective of things had changed.
But today, Ye Qiu didn’t want his younger brother, who had spent his life in guilt, to waste his life like this anymore.
“Ye Qingxuan! You’re still unconscious. How long are you going to wait?”
With a sharp shout, a terrifying noble aura instantly crushed over. It was like the anger of a god, suppressing Ye Qingxuan until his body trembled. He looked at the familiar face opposite him in a daze. The blurry images in his memory finally appeared.
The king seal between his brows was so eye-catching! And the man in front of him who he hated to the bone was so similar to the big brother in his memory.
“Brother?” In his daze, Ye Qingxuan shouted uncertainly. He could not believe it. Under Ye Qiu’s righteous order, the images in his mind gradually began to appear again. He seemed to understand something.
Ye Qiu! Ye Qingqiu…
It was the same person? However, the word “Qing” was missing from it. In the chaos back then, his brother didn’t die. Instead, he was taken away and changed his name to the current Ye Qiu.
“It’s him!” At this moment, not only was Ye Qingxuan stunned, but even the girl who had waited bitterly for many years on the stands was stunned. Her eyes flickered with tears and were filled with disbelief. She was even very flustered and confused.
In her consciousness, that person was already dead! But now that she knew that he was still alive, her heart was incomparably complicated. She admitted that she did not love the other party. She just could not get over the hurdle in her heart. That was why she had waited so long to fulfill the engagement.
Hui Caiyi was very confused. She didn’t know what to do for a moment. Her grandfather had said that she had been betrothed to the eldest son of the Ye Clan, Ye Qingqiu, from the moment she was born.
This was what their family clan owed to the Ye Clan and Ye Tianshi. Back then, their family clan almost suffered a calamity. It was the Patriarch of the Ye Clan, Ye Tianshi, who saved them. For this, they set up a marriage agreement and relied on the Ye Clan to bind the relationship between the two family clans through a marriage alliance.
Therefore, from young, Hui Caiyi’s philosophy had been instilled with the idea that she had to marry into the Ye family. She had never resisted.
But now?
Ye Qiu, who should have died long ago, wasn’t dead. Instead, he stood here perfectly fine and even became the chosen one respected by everyone. His achievements would even be higher than Ye Tianshi in the future. Under his lead, the Ye Clan might even become an unprecedented super clan.
With Hui Caiyi’s understanding of the Elders of the clan, they would definitely try their best to facilitate this marriage agreement. However, Hui Caiyi also understood that Ye Qiu no longer belonged to her. He already had a girl by his side. Even the Heaven Mending Saintess, Ming Yue, had a deep relationship with him.
“Why! Why are you doing this to me? I’ve never wanted to fight for anything. My life has been arranged since I was born. I have no choice, but why is the heavens so unfair to me?” Hui Caiyi’s heart collapsed. It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept the marriage agreement, but she understood that at this moment, the decision of this marriage agreement was completely in Ye Qiu’s hands.
If he wanted to marry her, her family clan would definitely support it. If he didn’t want to, then Hui Caiyi’s reputation would suffer a huge blow. Fortunately, not many people knew about this marriage agreement. It was only Ye Wuhen and a few elders of the Hui family.
There weren’t many people who could recognize Ye Qiu’s true identity.
Hui Caiyi finally felt a little comforted. She knew that Ye Qiu no longer belonged to her. She could only try her best to minimize all the damage. Even though she was struggling in her heart, she had no choice but to accept this reality.
On the other side, Ye Wuhen closed his eyes as soon as Ye Qiu chose to expose the king seal. Tears seemed to be dripping from the corners of his eyes.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” Linglong was puzzled. In the two months she had accompanied Ye Wuhen, she had never seen this iron-blooded man cry.
Linglong was very confused. She had long treated this elder who doted on her very much as her biological grandfather, just like her master and was very respectful. Therefore, when she saw Ye Wuhen’s expression, she felt very uncomfortable and couldn’t help but ask.
Seeing her question, Ye Wuhen tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, “Haha, Linglong, be good. I’m fine! I just suddenly remembered a sad past. It’s nothing serious.”
“Sad past?” Linglong tilted her head and thought seriously for a moment. Suddenly, she said, “Did someone bully you? Tell me, I’ll help you beat him up.”
“Pfft,” Linglong’s serious appearance amused Ye Wuhen. He believed that Linglong was telling the truth. In reality, if you really had something on, she would really do it. Moreover, if anyone who obtained her emotional approval was hurt in front of her, she would hammer them.
That guy! When she went berserk, she almost beat Ye Qingxuan into autism. Every time he thought of this scene, Ye Wuhen wanted to laugh. “Haha, you’re really Grandpa’s considerate little darling!” Ye Wuhen was very happy. His originally sorrowful heart was saved by Linglong with a few words. She’s really so warm. I’m crying to death.
“Linglong, be obedient. The grass on the grave of the person who bullied me is already three meters tall. I don’t need you to help me. Just stay here and watch your master’s performance.”
“Oh!” Linglong said regretfully. She thought that there would be a fight. She didn’t expect her enemies to be dead. Then it was fine.
After sorting out his emotions, Ye Wuhen continued to look at the sky. After a while, he looked at Hui Caiyi, who was also watching the battle not far away. Shaking his head, he did not know what to do.
Clearly, this child was engaged to Ye Qiu, but the problem was that everyone thought that Ye Qiu was already dead. Ye Wuhen saw that she had been waiting bitterly and couldn’t bear to see her crippled for the rest of her life. She would be a widow for a person who didn’t even have any feelings.
Therefore, he deliberately let Ye Qingxuan get close to her. In the long companionship, they gradually nurtured some feelings. But who would have thought that Ye Qiu would suddenly return? He wasn’t dead!
Wasn’t this awkward?
Ye Wuhen felt his face turn red, not knowing how to deal with this relationship.
