His voice grew softer and softer, and Xiao Yunying had to listen carefully to hear him clearly.

"Does Brother Liu have feelings for Sister Cheng Yue?"

Liu Dalei's face immediately turned red. He hadn't expected Xiao Yunying to say it so directly: "How could you..."

Xiao Yunying found his appearance rather amusing; such a tall and strong man blushed so quickly.

But it would be too impolite to laugh now, so she suppressed her laughter and said, "Brother Liu, I'm not Sister Cheng Yue, so there's no need to be embarrassed to talk to me."

Liu Dalei gritted his teeth and simply said, "Yes, I admire Miss Cheng Yue, so I would like to ask Miss Xiao about her."

Xiao Yunying thought about it for a moment. It seemed that Liu Dalei was a decent person. It would be good if he could provide Cheng Yue with someone to rely on.

Whether this will work out depends on Sister Cheng Yue's wishes; at most, she can only help the two of them get to know each other better.

"Brother Liu, can you check Sister Cheng Yue's household registration records?"

"not yet."

Seeing Liu Dalei's nervous yet expectant expression, Xiao Yunying said softly, "Brother Liu, Sister Cheng Yue's situation is a bit special. She has actually been married before and is not a young woman who is still unmarried."

Liu Dalei was taken aback: "Huh? You've been married before?"

Xiao Yunying sighed inwardly. Sure enough, no man would be indifferent to this matter.

"Brother Liu, if you have time, I'd like to tell you about Sister Cheng Yue's past."

"Then... then you tell me."

Xiao Yunying briefly recounted what she knew about Cheng Yue's past. Seeing Liu Dalei deep in thought, she said, "Brother Liu, if you mind this matter, let's pretend today's events never happened. Don't worry, I won't tell Sister Cheng Yue."

Liu Dalei hesitated and said, "I...I don't know, I want to go back and think about it."

Xiao Yunying gripped her cup tightly: "If Brother Liu hasn't completely given up on this idea, then I have to say something more. If Brother Liu still wants to continue pursuing Sister Cheng Yue, then you must treat her well and never bully her in this lifetime. I consider Sister Cheng Yue my own sister, and if anyone makes her suffer any injustice, I will definitely hold them accountable to the end."
