Chapter 23

The Heartache

A hint of joy flashed across Ye Xiyuan’s eyes.

As a sensitive, kind, and gentle daughter, she naturally would not complain to her parents. But if Li Deze was the one who told them, then she didn’t have to worry her image would be ruined. Moreover, it would make her parents more heartbreaking.

“It’s up to you.” Ye Leng’an didn’t care about it at all. “If you want to say it, then say it. You don’t have to inform me.”

After that, Ye Leng’an grabbed her bag and left. No one present dared to stop her.

Li Deze, who had been left behind, drew a long face. He had never expected Ye Leng’an to humiliate him like this. In his eyes, Ye Leng’an was his admirer, falling at his feet. However, she totally ignored him today.

The sudden change was not easy for him.

“Brother Deze, please don’t tell my parents about what happened today.” Ye Xiyuan noticed Li Deze’s change. She tugged at his sleeve and said, “Leng’an didn’t bully me today. We were just talking. Don’t misunderstand her.”

He regained his reason after hearing Ye Xiyuan’s words. He shook his head as if he wanted to get rid of the strange thoughts he had just now.

Ye Xiyuan was bullied, but she was still so generous and understanding. He couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her. “Xiyuan, why are you so kind? Ye Leng’an did all this to you, but you still want to cover it up for her sake.”

Yes, Ye Leng’an and Xiyuan couldn’t be compared at all. Ye Leng’an was a willful and cold-hearted ingrate, while Xiyuan was a good girl who was always considerate of others.

It was better Ye Leng’an stopped pestering him. A girl like Xiyuan was the most suitable for him. Ye Leng’an must be playing a trick in order to attract his attention. She would not get far with that trick, and her true colors would soon be revealed.

“She really didn’t bully me.” Ye Xiyuan said gently, “Also, I don’t want to place my parents in a difficult position. I know that they still miss her. It would be great if she could go back with me to see them today.”

“Xiyuan, don’t be silly.” He reached out his hand and patted Ye Xiyuan’s head. “It’s just because they are still concerned about Ye Leng’an that we should tell them about the bully thing. They should know what kind of person Leng’an is. If we keep hiding it and let them continue to keep such an ingrate in mind, that would be the greatest lie to them!”

“I don’t care. You just can’t tell my parents.” Ye Xiyuan was a little anxious. She held his hand, her eyes almost red. “You have to promise me, or I won’t speak to you in the future.”

“I really don’t know what to do with you! I promise you, okay?” He sighed helplessly. “Your kindness will put you at the greatest risk of bullying.”

Although he gave her a verbal promise, he still planned to find an opportunity to tell her parents about the matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, Xiyuan would always be bullied by Ye Leng’an.

“Thank you.” Ye Xiyuan smiled sweetly.

When everyone’s attention was elsewhere, there was a hint of pride in her eyes. Because she knew that the more she insisted, the better chance Li Deze had of telling her parents.
