She knew very well that she was doing all this just to get his attention, and incidentally, to make it clear to that female in front of Ah Ling that she was the one Ying Yao cared about.
However, what's done is done, and they are indeed not in a relationship now. She didn't want to end the relationship, and now she's back to normal so quickly.
Because she wasn't sure if Ying Yao would allow other females to approach him in the future.
She had lost faith in Ying Yao.
"Since you say so, I'll believe you one more time."
"But we will not resume our partnership for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yao felt much less gloomy and nodded excitedly, a smile he could hardly suppress spreading across his tear-streaked face.
"Okay, as long as I can be by your side, whether we're in a relationship or not doesn't matter."
As long as he could stay, there was hope, and he believed that he and You Ran would eventually be together again!
Mu Youran walked to the riverbank, looked at her face covered in smudges, and scooped up a handful of river water to wash her face.
"Give."
Ying Yao handed over a linen handkerchief, but Mu Youran glanced at it and didn't take it. Instead, she stood up, shook the water off her hands, wiped her face, and turned to walk back into the tribe without saying a word.
Ying Yao withdrew his hand in disappointment. For the first time, he felt You Ran's indifference, a coldness that made his whole body ache.
Mu Youran returned to the tribe, went straight into her own cave, walked to Huang Yu's bedside, lay down, and pulled the blanket over herself. Right now, she had no mood to experience the excitement outside.
When Huang Yu saw that she returned with red eyes and Ying Yao following behind her, she knew what had happened.
"Wen'er, go in and see what's wrong with You Ran?"
Wen E nodded. He had wanted to go in just now, but seeing You Ran's expression, he felt that You Ran needed some space to be alone.
However, now that Huang Yu has let him in, he feels he should go and see what's going on, just in case she's crying again.
If those eyes keep crying, they'll go blind sooner or later.
Wen E entered the cave, and Huang Yu walked up to Ying Yao: "Let's talk."
The two went directly to the depths of the nearby woods, where there were no orcs around, so their conversation would not be overheard by others.
After all, this is a family matter; if others find out, they'll just laugh at us.
Huang Yu stopped and turned to look at him coldly for a while before speaking.
Do you know where you went wrong?
Ying Yao nodded: "I know I shouldn't get too close to other females, causing them to misunderstand and making You Ran sad."
Huang Yu: "No, the fact that you can cross the line with other females only shows that your love for You Ran isn't deep enough."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yao looked up and met his very calm gaze. He didn't understand why he said that, and felt very uncomfortable.
"How do you know I don't love her deeply enough? I'd give my life for her!"
Huang Yu looked at him coldly: "But when you were seeing other females, you probably didn't think about what would happen if You Ran found out."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yao was speechless. At that time, he had indeed not thought about these things.
But at that time, he never thought he would have anything happen with other females.
"And what about you? After you lost your memory, did you not get close to any other females?"
Huang Yu chuckled softly upon hearing this.
Back then, he was of noble status and had countless suitors, but by then, his heart was already empty.
His heart had long been tied to the female in his dream, even though he didn't know at the time that the female was You Ran, his partner.
Because his love had long since penetrated his soul.
Even without his past memories, if they met again, he would still fall deeply in love with You Ran.
Therefore, he can accept everything about You Ran, accept every partner she likes, and hate the people and things she hates.
Including Yingyao now!
But he knew even better that You Ran still had feelings for Ying Yao; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended the partnership so quickly yesterday, nor would she have cried herself to sleep in the middle of the night.
To ensure that You Ran would not get hurt again, he had to eliminate this potential threat.
Do you think it's possible?
Looking into his honest eyes, Ying Yao felt a little flustered.
Compared to Huang Yu, he seems to be really inferior. Huang Yu was of noble status back then and had no memory of You Ran, but she remained single and never had any scandals with any females.
On the other hand, his affair with Ah Ling had already become the talk of the town on the island and in the Beast Tribe.
Especially in the Beast Tribe, they even claimed that the two of them had already mated!
If Huang Yu had even the slightest bit of a scandal back then, You Ran would probably be just as upset as she was yesterday.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes slightly.
"Huang Yu, it was my stupidity that I got so close to other females. Originally, I just wanted to repay Ah Ling for saving my life. I didn't think about anything else. Who knew it would be spread like this?"
"I hurt You Ran in this matter, but I truly love her."
“You can’t deny my feelings for her because of this. Now that I’ve sent Ah Ling off the island, I swear I won’t get so close to other females in the future.”
Upon hearing Ying Yao's words, Huang Yu's eyes flickered slightly.
He hadn't expected Ying Yao to deal with the female so quickly.
In dealing with this matter, he had to consider You Ran's feelings: "What did you just say to You Ran outside?"
When he asked about this, Yingyao immediately said, "She said she would trust me one more time, but she wouldn't renew our partnership."
Upon hearing this answer, Huang Yu understood that You Ran still wanted to give Ying Yao a chance; it all depended on Ying Yao's performance.
"Alright, since You Ran has said so, I won't make things difficult for you. However, if there's a next time, I won't hesitate to cripple your wings!"
There was no threat in her tone, but the words she spoke sent a shiver down Ying Yao's spine. He knew that Huang Yu meant what she said.
But he wasn't afraid!
Because he never intended to do anything to betray You Ran, and this incident was due to his carelessness, which allowed A Ling to take advantage of him.
It's all because of her that he and You Ran have ended up like this. If it weren't for the fact that she saved his life, he would have killed that female right now!
