"Huh?" Lin Wan Bai was completely stupefied, he completely did not understand what the other party was saying.
Xiao Yun Zheng looked at her face, and continued to speak while brewing her emotions, "This matter has already been buried in my heart for four years. If I don't say it, I might feel guilty for my entire life!"
"Lin Wan Bai, I'm sorry!"
And then he just said these three words seriously.
This was already the second time Lin Wan Bai had heard someone tell him this. The first time was Huo Zhen, the Xiao Yun Zheng she hadn't seen for a long time. She could naturally accept the former's apology, but she didn't know where it came from.
"…" She froze in place.
"Four years ago, when you were keeping vigil for your grandma, I used some tricks to make Brother Feng fall into a moment of infatuation. I did some vague things to you, even though nothing happened in the end, but I took a photo of you, which led to your breakup!" Xiao Yun Zheng continued.
"What did you say?" Lin Wan Bai was unable to hide his shock.
Although it had been a long time, it was still a memory that was deeply imprinted into his mind. As long as he thought about it, it would reappear clearly in his mind.
"Back then, you knew my intentions as well!" Xiao Yun Zheng paused here, his expression appearing to be even more complicated than before, "That's why, I couldn't bear to see Jing Xue being sad, and didn't want her to lose her beloved fiance, secretly separating the two of you. Although I know that this is very despicable, and unfair to you, I still did that …."
Yes, Lin Wan Bai knew what he was thinking.
After being discovered by her, he didn't hide anything and told her everything.
Between the lines, Xiao Yun Zheng did not reveal the slightest bit that Lu Jing Xue had taken the initiative to ask for his help, and deliberately asked for all of the responsibility.
"Lin Wan Bai, I am truly sorry. I feel guilty for the things I did before. In these four years, every time I think of it, I feel very sorry for you! You think of me as a friend, but I've backstabbed you! You're blaming me for not forgiving me, that's how it should be! " Xiao Yun Zheng's voice was filled with guilt, as she sadly sighed. When she looked at the two again, she smiled, "What I didn't expect is that after four years, the two of you would still have the fate of being together again. Perhaps it's the heavens' arrangement, so my heart will feel a little better!"
Lin Wan Bai couldn't help but clench his hands.
She subconsciously turned her head and looked towards Huo Chang Yuan who was behind her.
There were deep creases between his brows, as if he was very surprised by Xiao Yun Zheng's words, but he did not refute her at all.
Xiao Yun Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, shrugged and said, "Saying it out loud makes me feel much better!"
Then, he waved his hand at them before turning around and stepping into the darkness.
That slender figure of his rapidly receded into the distance.
Lin Wan Bai had not fully digested the situation, she pursed her lips and looked at Huo Chang Yuan, just then, a big lamp was shining at them, the sound of the car engine approaching, the black coloured BMW quickly stopped in front of them.
The driver opened the back door and the little bun was the first to jump out. "Wangwang ~"
Lin Wan Bai bent over and caught him.
"Hey, you two are so late at night. Are you playing romantic games outside?" Huo Rong sat down gracefully and toyed with them, and then yawned: "I'll leave Dou Dou in your hands, I won't be getting off the car, I'm so tired, let's go back to the hotel to sleep! Xiao Bai Cai, I'm afraid that I will have to bring Dou Dou back to the Huo Residence for another day tomorrow. "
"Mm, I understand …" Lin Wan Bai nodded.
"Then I'm leaving!" Huo Rong waved her hand and said her goodbyes.
Huo Chang Yuan responded indifferently, then instructed the driver to drive slowly.
The BMW sped off in his line of sight. Lin Wan Bai looked at the tall figure beside him, but did not say anything. He lowered his head and hugged the little bun in his arms, then entered the villa.
It was already late, and the little bun had been at the Huo Residence for an entire day. He had long since fallen asleep on the way back.
After showering, he laid down on the comfortable bed, and was soon coaxed to sleep by Lin Wan Bai, snoring softly.
After tucking in his blanket to prevent himself from exposing his small arms when he turned around at night, Lin Wan Bai put out the light and quietly walked out of the children's room. He closed the door and headed for the bedroom next door.
The sound of water splashing could be heard from inside the bathroom as Huo Chang Yuan took a bath.
She pursed her lips and walked straight to the window, looking out at the velvety night.
Lin Wan Bai turned his head, and didn't know when the sound of the water in the bathroom had stopped, but Huo Chang Yuan only wrapped himself with a bath towel, and the tall figure was standing behind her. The knotted muscles in his chest even had water droplets that rolled down, making people's blood boil.
She swallowed, but did not blush as usual.
"The water is still warm. Go in and take a bath."
Lin Wan Bai did not move, but raised his eyes and looked at him, "Huo Chang Yuan, I have something to ask you!"
Hearing that, Huo Chang Yuan's right hand stopped moving to wipe his head with a towel.
"Is what Xiao Yun Zheng said before she left true?" Lin Wan Bai frowned, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask at the entrance of the courtyard, "You broke up with me … Because of the photos? "
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips in hesitation.
He did not deny it, because this was indeed the reason back then.
Although he had already resolved the misunderstanding in his heart when he met Yan Feng, when Xiao Yun Zheng revealed this matter today, he was equally shocked. She did not expect that her half-brother had actually played such a role in this matter.
Receiving his reply, Lin Wan Bai fell silent.
Huo Chang Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder once more, using a little bit of strength to say it again, "The matter of us breaking up that year, was my bad."
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips.
Now she finally understood what those four words meant.
In reality, if she thought about it from another perspective, she would have almost understood his current state of mind. No man would be able to tolerate such ambiguous photos of him betraying others, especially a man with such a prideful personality like him.
Lin Wan Bai could understand that she was not one to fuss over old debts, but she could not help but be angry.
Because he did not believe in himself and unilaterally sentenced himself to death.
His heart completely filled with negative emotions, Lin Wan Bai brushed away the hand he was holding on his shoulder, and then passed him. He did not have the intention to go into the bathroom to take a bath, but instead directly walked to the front of the large bed and picked up the pillow and thin blanket.
Seeing that, Huo Chang Yuan knew what she was planning and followed his quickly.
"Wan-wen, what are you doing?"
Lin Wan Bai didn't even pay attention to him, he only carried his pillow and thin blanket and continued to walk outside.
Huo Chang Yuan threw away the towel in his hand, and followed closely behind with a thorny expression on his face, while frowning as he said, "Wan-wen, I know you're unhappy in your heart, and you're blaming me for that. Tell me what you have to say, and don't be bored! "Our bedroom is here, and our bed is here. Where are you going to sleep with your pillow and quilt?"
