Yun Bixue pointed at her heart. “I've been remembering it here. Your younger sister is my younger sister, so let's cherish the memory of her together.”

Xie Limo hugged Yun Bixue tightly, not knowing what to say. A warmth welled up in his heart.

Just like how Xie Limo used to rea.s.sure her, Yun Bixue patted Xie Limo's back and said, “We're a family. You need to cheer up.”

Xie Limo laughed softly. He stroked Yun Bixue's hair—no words were necessary.

Later, after dinner, Yun Bixue laid in Xie Limo's arms and couldn't fall asleep. She wondered how she was related to w.a.n.g Qianjin.

That day, Grandfather had said that it's a long story, and he couldn't explain it in a few words, that in the future she would learn of the truth.

But she was genuinely curious, and there were too many questions in her heart.

In order not to let Xie Limo worry about her, Yun Bixue didn't tell him these questions she had hidden in her heart.

Also, in order to let him rest well, Yun Bixue tried her best not to move about, pretending she was asleep.

But who was Xie Limo? The two of them had been together for such a long time, so how could he not understand what she was thinking.

Xie Limo supported his head with his arm and turned sideways to look at Yun Bixue. He gently fiddled with a strand of her hair and asked, “Can't fall asleep?”

Yun Bixue quickly turned around and looked at Xie Limo. “How did you know I haven't fallen asleep?”

Xie Limo chuckled. “I can tell simply by hearing your breathing,”

“Amazing!”

Xie Limo raised his brows and said, “We've been together for so long. If I don't even know whether you're asleep or not, you're going to say I'm not concerned about you.”

“I wouldn't. Did I interrupt your rest?”

Xie Limo's gaze flickered. He looked deeply into Yun Bixue's eyes and gazed at her delicate face before lowering his head. He couldn't help kissing her.

“Oo… sleep…” As Xie Limo leaned closer, Yun Bixue still couldn't stop her heart from racing faster.

Only when she started panting did Xie Limo get up and let go of her. “Alright, I won't torment you anymore. Sleep.”

Seeing that Xie Limo was really going to sleep now, Yun Bixue pulled his arm and said, “Limo, I wanna tell you something.”

Xie Limo turned his head and looked at Yun Bixue. “What is it?”

Gazing at the patient Xie Limo, Yun Bixue bit her lip and said, “Limo, Younger Sister's death saddened those who love her, including that person of the Ye family. The Ye family probably hates the Xie family, right?”

Xie Limo pondered for a moment, then replied with a sigh. “They probably hate us.”

If a person lost someone he loved most, he could only use his hatred to sustain his life. Because of his unwillingness to face that loss, he could only mask everything with hatred.

“Limo, say, is Chu Fei'er a chess piece arranged by the Ye family early in advance?”

“Why would you say so?”

“I feel that Chu Fei'er committing arson and feigning her death, then transforming into Qiao Muwan and rescued by the Ye family, all of it was too coincidental. If there are coincidences, it means there is a problem. Also, I think I haven't done anything to Chu Fei'er, so her hatred towards me is rather baffling.”

A glint flashed across Xie Limo's eyes as he said, “Don't overthink this. I've already sent someone to check.”

“Then is Second Elder still in the imperial capital?”

Xie Limo nodded. “Yes, he's still here. I didn't lay a finger on him.” Although he didn't lay a finger on Second Elder, he trapped Second Elder here. Right now, Second Elder couldn't do anything he wished.

This was a precaution taken just in case.

Yun Bixue nodded. It was good that Xie Limo could calmly and rationally treat that Second Elder. Although she, too, wasn't fond of that Second Elder, she didn't wish to cause trouble at this critical juncture.
