nHowever, Li Yi’s next words were like a bucket of cold water pouring over her head.

n

n“Elder Huo’s words, and I quote, were to tell you to ‘scurry back within half an hour’. If he doesn’t see you by then, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”

n

n‘It’s over.’

n

nFrom what Elder Huo meant, she would definitely be scolded when she returned to the Huo residence.

n

nAs expected, after returning to the Huo residence, Elder Huo scolded her fiercely for the entire afternoon.

n

nNot only that, Elder Huo’s words were the same as Huo Chuan’s. He told her that she had to apologize to Yun Qing.

n

nThat day, Yun Qing was woken up by Gu Zhi’s phone call.

n

n“Miss Gu, why do you like to call people so early in the morning?”

n

nYun Qing had not woken up yet. She whispered to Gu Zhi on the phone.

n

n“Today is the anniversary of my brother’s death. Didn’t you say that you would accompany me to visit his grave?”

n

nGu Zhi’s voice was no longer as lively as it always was.

n

nYun Qing instantly sobered up a lot. She looked at the date and, sure enough, she almost forgot about what happened today.

n

n“Wait for me for a while. I’ll be right there.”

n

nYun Qing quickly got up from the bed and tidied up.

n

nGu Zhi had a biological brother, but their parents divorced early on. Gu Zhi followed her father, and her brother followed her mother and also changed her mother’s surname.

n

nAccording to Gu Zhi, she had a good relationship with her brother.

n

nHowever, after she was sent abroad to study, she started to drift away from her brother.

n

nLater, she learned of her brother’s death.

n

nThey drove to the cemetery. Gu Zhi and Yun Qing were both wearing black dresses, but the flowers in their arms were bright and eye-catching.

n

nBefore she married Huo Chuan, Yun Qing would occasionally accompany Gu Zhi to visit her brother’s grave.

n

nNow that three years had passed, time seemed to have returned to the time before she met Huo Chuan. However, she was no longer the same person as before.

n

nJust as she was thinking about this, two familiar figures appeared in front of them.

n

nThey were Huo Chuan and Yun Qing.

n

n“Ah Chang… don’t worry, I’m doing very well now. Ah Chuan has been taking care of me…”

n

nBai Ting was sobbing as she looked at Chen Chang’s grave. “I’ll take good care of myself, too.”

n

n“Bai Ting?”

n

nGu Zhi was the first to lose her temper when she saw her. She rushed forward and looked at her with disdain. “What are you doing in front of my brother’s grave? !”

n

nBai Ting and Huo Chuan were clearly very surprised when they saw Gu Zhi and Yun Qing.

n

nBoth of them had heard Chen Chang mention that he had a younger sister before. Chen Chang had even shown them pictures of his younger sister when she was young.

n

nBut who knew that this younger sister was actually Gu Zhi?!

n

nA hint of panic flashed across Bai Ting’s eyes. She did not want Yun Qing to know that Huo Chuan was only good to her because she was the girlfriend of his comrade-in-arms.

n

nIf Yun Qing knew that she was not the true love in Huo Chuan’s heart, wouldn’t she mock her even more?!

n

nHowever, before she could think of a way, Huo Chuan already spoke up.

n

nHe looked at Yun Qing, who was fiddling with the flowers in her arms, and explained, “Gu Zhi, I’m your brother Chen Chang’s comrade-in-arms.

n

n“Bai Ting is your brother’s girlfriend. Before he died, he asked me to take care of her.”

n

nAlthough this sentence was an introduction, it sounded like an explanation to Yun Qing.

n

nAn explanation about why he was good to Bai Ting.

n

nHuo Chuan looked at Yun Qing expectantly, hoping that she could understand the deeper meaning in his words.

n

nHe did not like Bai Ting. He treated her well only because his comrade had entrusted him to her on his deathbed.

n

nHe had never betrayed Yun Qing before.

n

nYun Qing was also slightly stunned when she heard Huo Chuan’s explanation.

n

nSo that was the case.

n

nShe was still wondering how Bai Ting actually made Huo Chuan fall in love with her?

n

nHowever, she had actually lost to such a woman. She had lost to this so-called promise.

n

nA trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Ting’s face, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.

n

nThe first one to break the silence was Gu Zhi.

n

n“She’s his girlfriend?! My brother’s taste is so bad? Could it be that he was deceived by Miss Bai’s trickeries?!”

n

nBai Ting’s face turned even uglier when she heard Gu Zhi’s words.

n

nShe pursed her lips and revealed an aggrieved look. Then, she turned around and ran out in large strides.

n

nYun Qing looked at her, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she followed her.

n

nHuo Chuan saw this and wanted to go forward as well, but was stopped by Gu Zhi.

n

n“Huo Chuan, be truthful to me!”

n

nGu Zhi was not willing to take his words at face value.

n
