Zhao Yilu frowned and gently embraced her, his tone full of worry and nervousness, "Why are you crying?"

Fan Xi's emotions had not yet fully recovered at this moment, and when Zhao Yilu asked this question, tears immediately burst out again.

She broke free from Zhao Yilu's embrace and sat aside, trying hard to adjust her emotions, trying to make herself as stable, open-minded and self-consistent as possible.

Zhao Yilu's brows furrowed even tighter. He took a deep breath, lowered his voice again, and called softly, "Li Xi..."

"Zhao Yilu, it was you that night, right?" Fan Xi turned his head and looked directly at Zhao Yilu and asked.

This sudden question was like a thunderclap, exploding in Zhao Yilu's ears, instantly breaking his already tense nerves.

Zhao Yilu's mind went blank, his heart instantly clenched. He looked at Fan Xi with burning and nervous eyes...

The moment he met Fan Xi's calm and indifferent gaze, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

Finally, under Fan Xi's scrutiny, Zhao Yilu replied solemnly and hoarsely, "Yes, it's me!"

After saying that, Zhao Yilu looked straight at Fan Xi, afraid of missing any subtle expression on her face.

Although he had been planning to confess everything to Fan Xi tonight, active confession and passive confession are completely different things. Zhao Yilu knew clearly that this time he had completely pissed off Fan Xi!

The guessed answer was confirmed, and Fan Xi felt even more mixed emotions. She looked straight at Zhao Yilu.

"So, that call from the hospital was also made by you pretending to be your brother, right?"

Zhao Yilu frowned, nodded with a gloomy look...

Fan Xi instantly felt extremely wronged. She choked up and questioned, "Zhao Yilu, are you having fun playing with me like this? Do you really love me?"

Zhao Yilu looked at Fan Xi, whose face was covered in tears, and felt his heart was broken. He smiled sadly and helplessly, opened his mouth, but no sound came out...

After a long moment, he took a deep breath and finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Li Xi, I really want to take my heart out and show it to you. How could I not love you?"

"So, why did you keep it a secret from me? Do you know how determined I was to be with you? Do you understand the pressure I was under? Why couldn't you tell me earlier?"

Fan Xi felt that since the matter had been brought up, she had to get to the bottom of it today, otherwise it would always be a thorn between the two of them.

Zhao Yilu also understood that since the matter had been brought to light, he had to be absolutely honest, so he spoke in a deep voice: "At first... I didn't know you well enough to tell you such an important thing... I was afraid, afraid that you would spread it..."

Fan Xi nodded, thinking it was the same as what he had guessed, and continued to ask: "What happened next? Did you still not trust me? Even though we were already married..."

"Of course it's not..." Zhao Yilu replied immediately.

She looked at Fan Xi, who was waiting earnestly for him to continue, and then she gently asked, "Do you remember what you said on the phone from the hospital?"

Fan Xi was puzzled...

"You said that you felt very unhappy about your time together that night, and you didn't want to have a recurrence of what happened that night. It was even so unpleasant that you felt there was no need to dwell on the child for the rest of your life..."

"Liqin, every time you talk about that night, you resist. Because of our time together that night, you completely denied the me who pretended to be my brother... I'm worried that once you know it was me that night, you won't give me any chance, completely deny our relationship, and stay away from me from now on... I... I'm afraid to lose you! So afraid!"

Zhao Yilu said a lot in one breath, with obvious hurt and loneliness in his tone.

Fan Xi was stunned. This was just a random excuse she made up. Damn it! Is there a more ridiculous misunderstanding than this?!

Ever since she entered this ridiculous book, her life has also been filled with ridiculous stories!!!

"Zhao Yilu... I still don't know how to explain to you why I'm so disgusted by what happened that night, but I must tell you that from the beginning to the end, I was disgusted by your brother He Siyan, not you that night! Don't ask me why I hate your brother He Siyan, because there are some things I haven't figured out yet. I'll tell you everything when I figure it out."

Zhao Yilu nodded solemnly, stepped forward and tentatively took Fan Xi's hand...
