“Mom? Mom…?”
Xu Yangyi’s emotions suddenly became very unstable. His face also turned pale, because at this time he was replaying the scene of his mother’s murder in his mind’s eye.
Suddenly, he lifted He Jingyan’s collar and raised a panicked and overwhelmed voice, “What he said… is it true? Am I the prince of this country?”
This last sentence, “Am I the prince of this country?”, he roared it out loudly, his lips trembling for a while, probably because he realized that his mother had died because of him and that it had something to do with Country T and his identity.
This was also the reason why Xu Nuannuan did not want Xu Yangyi to know the truth; she was afraid that he would be devastated and would blame himself.
“My mother… did my mother die because of me… because of me?” Tears slid down the corners of his eyes. It was the first time he cried so hard in front of He Jingyan as if he was going to faint, and as if his chest was blocked with pain.
The moment Xu Yangyi’s tears fell, only then did He Jingyan regret that he had let Xu Yangyi know the truth.
“Wife.”
Holding Xu Yangyi into his arms, He Jingyan felt his heart was ripped apart.
He wanted to comfort Xu Yangyi, but he knew Xu Yangyi was smart enough to know what had happened with just a little thought.
“Don’t touch me.”
He hissed and pushed He Jingyan away, angry that He Jingyan knew all along but didn’t tell him the truth.
He Jingyan held him back in his arms again. If he could endure the hurt for Xu Yangyi at this moment, he would definitely do so without hesitation, but there was no such thing as convenience in the world.
“I told you to let go and do not to touch me.” Raising his hand, he gave He Jingyan a fierce slap. Usually, he only slapped He Jingyan because he hated how He Jingyan stuck to him, but now he slapped out of anger, so naturally, the force was much heavier. He was hitting He Jingyan so hard that He Jingyan’s face went numb and blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth.
On normal days, Xu Yangyi would still feel sorry for him because he had beaten He Jingyan up and he bled. But now he was so full of anger, so angry at He Jingyan for deceiving him, that he had no sense to keep sober, especially when it was related to his mother’s death. The death of Xu Yangyi’s mother has always been a knot in his heart. After all, he witnessed his mother being killed, which was a shadow in his heart for the rest of his life.
But Xu Yangyi, who was so angry, kept falling into tears, looking hurt and helpless.
He had always thought that no matter what happened, He Jingyan must be the one standing by his side, but he had never thought that He Jingyan would hide this matter from him.
He Jingyan did not know that Xu Yangyi’s mother’s death was related to his identity, and it was only after Xu Yangyi suddenly turned angry that He Jingyan realized it.
“Honey, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I didn’t know things would be so complicated.”
He couldn’t care less about the pain on his face, and it didn’t matter if it was bleeding. He quickly soothed Xu Yangyi’s emotions, which was the priority at this point.
Xu Yangyi did not struggle anymore, but tears fell more and more from his eyes, “Why? Why did you lie to me? Even if everyone in the world cheated me, you’re the only one who should always stand by my side, aren’t you? Why did you have to lie to me?”
He kept asking repeatedly why He Jingyan lied to him. The more he cried, the sadder he got, and the tears dripped onto He Jingyan’s clothes one drop after another.
“I’m sorry. I thought I was doing this for your own good. That’s why I hid it from you. I’m sorry, wife. Please do not cry anymore, okay? I won’t do it again next time.”
Softening his voice to soothe Xu Yangyi, He Jingyan was also very heartbroken to see Xu Yangyi crying. This time, it was he who made Xu Yangyi cry and cry so sadly.
