Hearing this, Su Yaoyao felt even more aggrieved. She felt like she was about to burst into tears, but Yu Chiyan still said something to her.
"Don't cry."
Su Yaoyao couldn't hold back any longer. Ignoring Huo Xiting, who was still unconscious after being drugged, Su Yaoyao suddenly raised her head and accused him in a sweet, soft voice with a hint of crying.
"Yu Chiyan! What right do you have to yell at me! You know perfectly well that I wasn't the one who poisoned Grandma, but you still pinned the blame on me and made me leave Nancheng with a criminal record. You even divorced me and wanted to send me away to stay alone in Nancheng. Tell me, what if something happens to you? Have you thought about what I would do?"
If it weren't for the fact that Yu Chiyan had an accident and Yu Qing hadn't returned during the two days she was unconscious, she probably would have sent Huo Xiting abroad.
"Yu Chiyan, we are husband and wife, but you have never told me anything about yourself!"
Su Yaoyao grew angrier as she spoke, and struggled to get down from Yu Chiyan's arms.
"Let me go, you bastard! You keep calling me your sister-in-law, let me go!"
The more she struggled, the more tightly Yu Chiyan held her.
"How dare you say that? You actually agreed to these conditions?"
"And she's wearing matching outfits with Huo Xiting?"
"Um?"
Sure enough, upon hearing Yu Chiyan's words, Su Yaoyao immediately felt guilty and quieted down considerably. With a thought, she changed the subject.
"That's because Yu Qing said..."
As she spoke, Su Yaoyao's voice gradually faded away.
Yu Chiyan's eyes deepened.
He certainly knew the conditions under which Yu Qing and Su Yaoyao had made their exchange.
However, Su Yaoyao was unaware that his stay inside for a few days was part of her plan. Even if Su Yaoyao didn't make any deal with Yu Qing, he could still come out, though not so quickly.
But Yu Chiyan did not tell Su Yaoyao any of this.
"Don't you dislike me? Why do you care whether I live or die?"
The moment he said that, Su Yaoyao instinctively retorted, "Who said I don't like..."
Three seconds after he finished speaking, the air fell silent, and Yu Chiyan's deep eyes held a unique emotion.
"Why did you stop?"
Seeing that Su Yaoyao's remaining words were stuck in her throat, Yu Chiyan's voice was filled with anxiety when he finally asked.
Seeing his somewhat nervous yet excited expression, Su Yaoyao gave him a disdainful glare.
"Hmph, if that's how you think, then there's nothing I can do."
Upon hearing this, Yu Chiyan's face darkened, and he couldn't help but lower his head and bite her neck.
A tingling, numb sensation instantly flooded her limbs and bones, and Su Yaoyao's body went limp.
“Yu Chiyan…”
She bit her lip, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.
Yu Chiyan took a deep breath, his hot breath brushing against her ear.
"Once everything is resolved, I will make you say the words you couldn't say before, 'willingly'."
Su Yaoyao: "..."
This claim of being "willing" probably has some 'exaggeration' involved!
"By the way, Yu Chiyan, what exactly is Yu Qing's purpose in doing all this?"
Su Yaoyao changed the subject and asked with a puzzled look.
Yu Chiyan tightened his grip on Su Yaoyao; "He's a madman."
Su Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, her expression somewhat puzzled. Yu Chiyan could only tell her what he knew about the past.
He was young at the time and didn't know about the grudges between adults. But later, when everyone in the Yu family started talking about the relationship between his mother, Cui Qing, and Yu Qing, he learned that Yu Qing and his mother had once been husband and wife.
Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyao's mouth dropped open, her face filled with disbelief.
How complicated must this relationship be?
Suddenly, Su Yaoyao seemed to remember something and looked sharply at Yu Chiyan.
"Chi Yan, was the so-called murder by enemy ten years ago related to Yu Qing?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chiyan's eyes grew even colder. He looked at Su Yaoyao, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Ten years ago, my parents' original intention was to take me on a trip. That day was my birthday."
What was supposed to be a family outing turned into their final resting place.
Su Yaoyao saw the deep sorrow in Yu Chiyan's eyes and felt a pang of heartache.
It was supposed to be his birthday, but it cost his parents their lives. How much pain must Yu Chiyan have been living all these years?
"Later, under my grandmother's investigation, we found the mole in the Yu family, the one who betrayed the whereabouts of my family of three and caused the death of my parents."
Hearing this, Su Yaoyao felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but hug Yu Chiyan tightly.
Noticing her movement, the man smiled and continued.
"The mole is a servant of the Yu family. He has been with the Yu family since my grandfather was alive. No one expected that he would betray the Yu family."
Su Yaoyao nodded; "I see, so the fire ten years ago had nothing to do with Yu Qing?"
Previously, Yu Chiyan genuinely felt it had nothing to do with Yu Qing, but as for now...
The man's eyes flickered, and he looked down at Su Yaoyao.
"There are still many things I don't know about what happened back then. Grandma knows those things best, but unfortunately she hasn't woken up yet."
Hearing this, Su Yaoyao was a little confused; "Dr. Nan said that Grandma would wake up soon?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Chiyan's gaze deepened; "A piece of information deliberately released to lure people in."
So that's how it is.
"Yaoyao, are you scared?"
Su Yaoyao obediently let him hold her in his arms, and gently shook her head upon hearing this; "Yu Chiyan, there's nothing to be afraid of when I'm with you, I know you will protect me."
Yu Chiyan smiled.
He's fallen on hard times like this now, and this silly girl still believes he can protect her.
How foolish.
Yu Chiyan held Su Yaoyao in his arms, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Huo Xiting, who was still unconscious on the table, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
What makes a fool who's been fooled for ten years compare to him?
There's no way Yao Yao would even be interested in someone like him!
