Chapter 217 Yi Ze comes to see Li Ruochu

"We will stay in China for the time being. Those people will not dare to act rashly. Since they want to fight, we will fight them to the end."

Feng Yizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes revealing firmness and determination, as if he was declaring his determination to those hidden enemies.

There was a trace of fatigue on his face. Too many things had happened one after another during this period of time, and each one of them was like a huge rock pressing on his heart. But at this moment, his tone was extremely firm.

This time, no matter what the cost, he must let those people know how terrible the consequences of offending them will be.

"I didn't expect that the people of the Long family would be so willful that they don't even dare to recognize their own daughter." Luo Jingyun sighed softly, his eyes full of emotion and sympathy.

She knew too well how much hardship and suffering Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou had experienced during this period. It must have been a journey full of thorns.

At night, the night sky is like a piece of black silk, gently wrapping the entire city.

Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou held hands and slowly returned to the Bishui Pavilion.

When they arrived at the door of 2202, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.

Li Ruochu was slightly stunned, and looked at Yi Ze with surprise on his face: "Why are you back too!"

There was a hint of doubt in her voice, and countless question marks arose in her mind. She didn't understand why Yi Ze appeared here.

Yi Ze first glanced at Feng Yizhou, with a complex emotion in his eyes, and then he set his eyes on Li Ruochu, with a deep apology on his face: "Ruochu, I know what I did, you will definitely not forgive me,"

He lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't dare to look directly into Li Ruochu's eyes, "But I came back this time to tell you that Long Moyang and Long Yihuan are planning to take action against you. You must be careful no matter what."

Yi Ze's tone was anxious and sincere, and he seemed to be really worried.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yi Ze. I will protect Chu Chu!" Feng Yizhou frowned slightly, his eyes revealing vigilance.

He didn't know whether the words this man said when he came here were true or false. After all, Yi Ze's previous behavior made it difficult for him to completely trust him.

However, they had already made sufficient preparations to guard against Long Moyang and Long Yihuan.

"Ruchu, I have a few words to say to you. Can we talk alone?" There was a hint of pleading in Yi Ze's eyes, as if there was something really extremely important that he had to talk to Li Ruchu alone.

His hands were slightly clenched into fists, and his face was full of anxiety and desire.

Li Ruochu hesitated for a moment, and looking at Yi Ze's earnest look, he couldn't help but feel moved.

She opened the door, invited Yi Ze in, and turned to tell Feng Yizhou to wait for her upstairs.

When Feng Yizhou heard this, he immediately frowned, shook his head firmly, and went in directly: "Who knows if this man has ulterior motives? What if he is the killer sent by Long Moyang?"

Feng Yizhou's eyes were filled with worry and vigilance. He would never give Li Ruochu any chance of getting hurt. In his heart, Li Ruochu's safety was above everything else.

Li Ruochu looked at Feng Yizhou, who looked as if he was facing a great enemy, and shook his head helplessly. He was touched by his nervousness towards her, but also felt that he was a little too cautious.

Then, she turned her gaze to Yi Ze and asked calmly, "Do you have anything to say?"

There was a complexity in her eyes, mixed with nostalgia for past friendship and difficulty in letting go of Yi Ze's deception.

"Ruo Chu, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just had no choice!"

Yi Ze raised his head slightly, his face full of guilt. The guilt was like a layer of haze, covering his face.

His eyes revealed deep helplessness and pain, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he was trying his best to suppress his inner emotions.

After so many years of getting along, his feelings for Li Ruochu had already taken root without him realizing it. From the initial care and concern to the deep attachment now, he really fell in love with Li Ruochu.

However, fate played a trick on him. He was now controlled by others, like a bird trapped in a cage. He could do nothing but watch himself hurt his beloved step by step.

"I understand everything you did," Li Ruochu sighed softly, with a flash of memory in his eyes, "After all, your sister is still in Long Moyang's hands, so you have to listen to him."

Li Ruochu will never forget the meticulous care Yi Ze gave her during those difficult years in the orphanage.

At that time, he was like a ray of warm light, illuminating his dark childhood.

Every bit of care and every detail was deeply engraved in her heart, and that sincerity did not seem fake at the time.

However, recalling the past now, Li Ruochu suddenly realized that the seemingly close relationship between people can also be faked.

Some people's behavior may be understandable from their own standpoint, but emotionally, it cannot be easily forgiven.

"Actually, you don't need to explain so much to me." Li Ruochu turned his head slightly, trying to make his tone sound calmer. "You just need to do what you think is right."

She didn't want to dwell on the entanglements of the past anymore. Although the hurt had gradually faded away, her heart still ached whenever she thought of it.

"I'm sorry, I..." Yi Ze was about to speak but was interrupted by Li Ruchu.

"I told you, you don't have to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong. Just don't come to me again."

Although Li Ruochu's voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

In her opinion, after so many years of knowing each other, there have been warmth and also hurt, but now the merits and demerits have offset each other.

She didn't want to have any more involvement with Yi Ze and just wanted to live a peaceful life with Feng Yizhou.

When Yi Ze heard this, his face instantly darkened, as if he had been hit in the heart by a heavy hammer.

He knew that what he had done had deeply hurt Li Ruchu, and his current explanation might just be a pale and weak excuse in her eyes.

"I know you won't accept my apology now," Yi Ze's voice was a little hoarse and choked, "but I still want to say sorry to you. Please take care of yourself in the future. You will definitely live a happy life!"

There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind to completely let go of this relationship and give Li Ruchu a peaceful life.

Yi Ze turned around slowly and walked away with heavy steps.

Every step was like stepping on his heart, the pain was unbearable. Finally, he couldn't help but look back at Li Ruochu, his eyes full of affection and reluctance, and said lightly: "Ruochu, it's true that I protected you when I was young, and it's true that I like you now!"

Except for the initial encounter which was fake, everything else, the companionship, the care, the feelings, were his true emotions from the heart.

However, everything was irreversible, he could only bury this feeling deep in his heart and leave alone.
