Ye Qing nodded. "Oh, I see."

Ye Qing replied casually, then suddenly looked up, "Your mother's secret? What secret does she have? Isn't it because of your younger brother, Su Zhe? Are you afraid your mother will cause me trouble again, so you changed your story?"

This was what Ye Qing initially thought, and it was also what Xi Quan had subtly conveyed to her.

However, after Liang Youjie mentioned some things about him and Xi Quan, Ye Qing realized that his previous statement was probably just to convince himself, and the real reason was probably not those things.

Hearing Xi Quan say this, Ye Qing knew that there was indeed something else going on, but she didn't expect it to involve Quan Zhen. Ye Qing thought it was just about Liang Youjie.

However, after she finished asking the question, she inadvertently noticed that Xi Quan's expression stiffened again.

Recalling running into Quan Zhen outside a few days ago, who was sitting in a wheelchair, Ye Qing asked, "I told you that I accidentally ran into your mother on the street a few days ago. Although she didn't say anything, I could tell she was sitting in a wheelchair. What's wrong with her legs? Is it also because of Liang Youjie?"

As Ye Qing asked the question, Xi Quan slowly clenched his hands together. "It's not because of Liang Youjie, it's because of me."

"She saved you when you were in a car accident?" This was the first thing Ye Qing could imagine when she heard Xi Quan's words.

"Do you think that's possible?" Xi Quan sneered, asking Ye Qing in return.

Although Ye Qing didn't know exactly what had happened back then, she could tell from Xi Quan's question that Quan Zhen's leg was injured, and it definitely wasn't because he was saving Xi Quan. Actually, thinking about it, it was understandable.

Quan Zhen usually treats Xi Quan badly, how could she be so selfless?

Seeing Xi Quan's pained expression, Ye Qing didn't press further to ask why Quan Zhen had become like this.

She was thinking about how to comfort Xi Quan properly, but before she could figure out what to say, Xi Quan spoke again, and this time what he said shocked Ye Qing: "Her leg was like that because I pulled her down from the building."

After realizing what Xi Quan meant, Ye Qing stared at Xi Quan in disbelief, covering her mouth as she looked at him!

"you……"

Xi Quan chuckled lightly and asked with a self-deprecating tone, "Do you think I'm scary?"

Ye Qing shook her head frantically in denial, too shocked to utter a word, unable to believe what kind of feelings Xi Quan had when he treated Quan Zhen like that.

Although Ye Qing was very cruel to her biological father Ye Shuwei back then, Ye Shuwei was full of ulterior motives and cruelty towards Ye Qing from the very beginning. He did not fulfill any of the responsibilities that a father should have during Ye Qing's upbringing.

Moreover, Ye Qing didn't grow up with Ye Shuwei, and Ye Qing's hatred for Ye Shuwei outwei the same kind of expectation he had for his father.

However, the seat rights and the true power...

While Quan Zhen may not be a good mother, she was always present during Xi Quan's upbringing, though she didn't participate much in it.

However, no matter what, the relationship between them, mother and son, is still quite different from that between Ye Qing and Ye Shuwei.

Moreover, Ye Qing's feelings were quite complicated when he treated Ye Shuwei that way. Although everyone's experiences are different, making it impossible to fully empathize, Ye Qing felt that he could still sense some of Xi Quan's thoughts.

After the initial disbelief subsided, Ye Qing stood up and walked to Xi Quan's side, embracing the seated Xi Quan in her arms, feeling a heartache she didn't know how to express.

Every child wants to be a good son or daughter to their parents, but some parents are truly exasperating.

For example, Ye Shuwei in the past, and Quan Zhen.

Xi Quan was a little surprised by Ye Qing's hug, but he didn't refuse. He could guess why Ye Qing had such strong emotions, but Xi Quan felt a little guilty.

It wasn't because Ye Qing felt guilty about what she had done to Quan Zhen, but because there were many things Ye Qing didn't know.

Although he had already decided to tell Ye Qing, Xi Quan didn't know where to begin because it was so complicated. Just as he was organizing his thoughts, the waiter knocked on the door, and their food arrived.

Relinquishing her seat, Ye Qing wiped away her tears and returned to her place.

After the atmosphere was interrupted, it took Xi Quan a lot of courage to speak again, since Quan Zhen's matter was even more unbelievable than Ye Qing's matter with Ye Shuwei.

It's really not something that can be explained in just a sentence or two.

Ye Qing was unaware of what Xi Quan was thinking. In Ye Qing's view, Xi Quan had already said so much and seemed to be in so much pain, so she decided to let him calm down before continuing to ask.

Although the casual conversation had made the atmosphere a bit awkward, Xi Quan and Ye Qing were both just happy to have a meal together. After all, in the past few years, they hadn't even been in touch, let alone eaten together, so they naturally cherished every moment they could spend alone together.

So the meal turned out alright in the end.

After returning home from dinner, the atmosphere was quite good because the child was still at Xi Quan's grandparents' house, and the two of them had already talked things out.

It was a perfect storm of favorable timing, location, and circumstances that Xi Quan had been hoping for, so he seemed a little distracted and distracted when applying the medicine to Ye Qing's ankle.

Ye Qing sensed his distraction and subconsciously curled her foot back: "Okay, I don't think my ankle is sprained that badly. It feels much better after applying the medicine a few times."

After Ye Qing said that the medicine had been applied and massaged in to help it absorb, Xi Quan didn't say anything more.

He stood up to wash his hands, cleaning off the ointment that was stuck to them.

The water was turned up too high, splashing water on his clothes. Xi Quan went to change his clothes after coming out of the bathroom.

Ye Qing remembered that she had wanted to see the injury on Xi Quan's leg before, but he refused. Ye Qing felt that this was an opportunity, so she secretly followed Xi Quan to the dressing room and saw the scar on Xi Quan's leg as she wished.

However, this once again shocked Ye Qing.

Although Ye Qing had been mentally prepared and knew that Xi Quan's leg scars must be serious, she never expected it to be like this.

The scar looked quite gruesome!

Because of its grotesque appearance, looking at the scar that snaked its way to who-knows-where, Ye Qing could imagine how serious the injury must have been!

Ye Qing couldn't suppress the hatred deep in her heart. She seemed to completely understand why Xi Quan was so petty and didn't want her to have any contact with Liang Youjie anymore.

After all, Xi Quan's injury was related to Liang Youjie, but Xi Quan was unaware of the inside story and still regarded Liang Youjie as his benefactor, which was indeed unfair to Xi Quan.

Although Ye Qing now knows some things about Liang Youjie and will no longer get too close to him, she still feels guilty about her previous attitude towards Xi Quan.

Xi Quan saw the person standing at the door in the mirror. At first, he didn't pay attention, but when he was about to look away, he thought about his state just now, and Xi Quan's expression changed.
