At this moment, a loud shout rang out, frightening Mu Hanyan and Yi Qinglian and causing them to retract their hands.

"Mu Hanyan! You scoundrel, what do you want to do to Qinglian?" A voice filled with anger and anxiety suddenly exploded, making Mu Hanyan and Yi Qinglian's ears buzz.

Mu Hanyan looked up at the person who spoke and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Oh, it's Mu Feng. But, to be honest, Mu Hanyan knows she's a woman, and Yi Qinglian knows it too, but outsiders don't know. She holding Yi Qinglian's hand feels perfectly natural to them. But to outsiders, it's outrageous, like the spoiled Mu Hanyan is taking advantage of Yi Qinglian!

"Han Yan is not a pervert, what nonsense are you talking about!" Before Mu Han Yan could even open her mouth, Yi Qing Lian started yelling in anger. She looked like a cow protecting her calf!

"Qinglian! You, why are you speaking for him? Have you forgotten that he tried to do something inappropriate to Miss Zhao Si some time ago?" Mu Feng looked hurt. He could not accept that Yi Qinglian actually helped Mu Hanyan, a good-for-nothing dandy.

"Han Yan was wrongly accused! Han Yan would never molest Miss Zhao Si, such a top-notch woman!" Yi Qinglian Yusu quickly retorted, glaring at Mu Feng, "As Han Yan's cousin, you actually don't believe him and believe what others say. You are really unreasonable!"

After hearing this, Mu Hanyan knew that someone was pierced by thousands of arrows!

Sure enough, Mu Hanyan saw that Mu Feng’s face was pale and he staggered back two steps.

Oh, the young man who has a crush on Qinglian, he must have suffered ten thousand wounds at this moment, and every knife is piercing his flesh!

Mu Feng likes Yi Qinglian, yes, he likes Yi Qinglian very much.

Yet, on the surface, Yi Qinglian had a soft spot for Mu Hanyan, this dandy fool. How could this not make Mu Feng resent her? He'd gotten himself drunk on this more than once, unable to understand why he couldn't compare to Mu Hanyan, this dandy fool? Why couldn't he? Anyone with a discerning eye would think they were miles ahead of this dandy fool, yet why did Qinglian simply think Mu Hanyan was better?

Mu Hanyan, reborn, finally understood why. It was because Yi Qinglian knew her secret! Yi Qinglian had known Mu Hanyan was a woman since she was a child. When they were young, the City Lord's Mansion hosted a banquet for the various prominent families of Black Stone City, including the Yi family. Yi Qinglian was shy and easily cried, and the servants who served her at the time were not attentive, which led to her getting lost in the City Lord's Mansion.

Later, Mu Hanyan encountered Yi Qinglian, who was crying in fear in the fake cave in the garden. Mu Hanyan comforted her and gave her two mung bean cakes. One of the words she used to comfort her was, "I'm the same as you. Look, I'm so brave. I don't cry easily."

Although Yi Qinglian was young at that time, she understood the difference between men and women and was dissatisfied at the time, saying that they were completely different. In order to make Yi Qinglian believe and stop crying, Mu Hanyan impulsively took off the ring and let Yi Qinglian see her true self.

From that moment on, Yi Qinglian knew that Mu Hanyan was actually a woman. They had made a promise to keep it a secret, and Mu Hanyan had forgotten about it in the blink of an eye. But Yi Qinglian, however, remembered it for the rest of her life. To the point where everyone despised and spurned the dandy Mu Hanyan, she remained steadfast by her side, even paying a huge price to save her, sacrificing her life's happiness.
