Chapter 394 The Truth About the Benefactor
Achen, the young master lied to you.
When hearing this, Yun Chen's first reaction was to punch Buyan and scold him for trying to sow discord between her and Huo Gannian as soon as he left the Huo Gang?
But the clenched fist did not swing out for a long time.
The precise name "Plum Blossom Breaking the Moon" is enough to explain everything.
Under the gaze of silent pity, Yun Chen turned around and ran towards the Yun Mansion.
She wanted to hear Huo Gannian say it in person: had he known the owner of Plum Blossom Breaking the Moon for a long time, and who her benefactor was, but had been secretly deceiving her?
Like a cold-blooded bystander, he watched her search for a benefactor in vain, and remained indifferent to her disappointment and regret time and time again!
He even sent Buyan to destroy the token, wishing that she would never know who her benefactor was for the rest of her life?
Did she treat him with all her heart, but in return he deliberately deceived her?
With a heart full of anxiety and questions, Yun Chen rushed back to the Yun Mansion in one breath.
In the front hall, almost everyone had left, only Huo Gannian was still waiting for her.
Next to him was a bowl of milk soup, tightly covered and warmed in a hot soup bowl.
Even so, he still stretched out his slender, white, and exceptionally handsome hand and kept covering the lid, fearing that the sweet soup would get cold.
This was a thoughtful gesture he was accustomed to making, revealing his warm love, but in sharp contrast was the extremely cold expression on his face.
Ye Yan stood beside Huo Gannian with a heavy expression, nodding his head repeatedly and responding with something like "You are right, he knows too much" and "Yes, being too soft-hearted will only lead to disaster in the future."
Seeing Yun Chen walk into the yard, Huo Gannian immediately moved his fingers slightly, signaling Ye Yan to stop talking.
The two looked at Yun Chen at the same time. Huo Gannian was the first to show his usual gentle smile:
"Are you hungry? You didn't eat well for dinner, so I left you some milk soup, it's still hot."
Yun Chen didn't answer.
Her hearing was not very good now, so she didn't actually hear what Huo Gannian and Ye Yan were talking about. She didn't even want to care why they stopped talking as soon as they saw her.
She just saw clearly that Huo Gannian's expression changed from murderous intent to gentleness in just a blink of an eye.
She couldn't help but think of the words she had just said:
The young master gives you white and hides black, but that doesn’t mean black doesn’t exist.
The young master can also lie.
Suppressing his panic, Yun Chen stood still in the hall.
Her gaze, which seemed to carry a sharp sword with an unsteady edge, made Huo Gannian sense something and he slowly put away all his smiles.
She looked straight into his beautiful eyes and asked word by word:
"Master of the Plum Blossom Breaking Moon, you've always known this, haven't you?"
Huo Gannian was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of not revealing it. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and then he answered without any concealment or hesitation:
"yes".
Yun Chen was completely stunned.
What is unspoken is actually true?
It’s actually true!!
Seeing that this situation was not suitable for him to stay any longer, Ye Yan started to walk out. When he passed Yun Chen, he whispered:
"Achen, don't blame the young master, he is doing this for your own good..."
Yun Chen turned stiffly and looked at Ye Yan:
"You knew that too? You all knew it, and you kept it from me, didn't you?"
Not daring to meet Yun Chen's questioning gaze, Ye Yan hurriedly lowered her head and left. Only she and Huo Gannian were left in the hall.
Yun Chen slowly hunched over and supported his knees with his hands to stay standing.
She took deep breaths again and again, and her chest felt like it was blocked by a large ball of wet cotton, choking her and making her throat hurt.
"Chen'er..."
Seeing her like this, Huo Gannian immediately stood up to support her. When he walked in front of her, he met her suddenly raised face, which made him stop all his movements.
Yun Chen's eyes were filled with extreme disappointment, and there was a wariness and alienation in his eyes that he had never seen in his life.
Seeing her eyes gradually turn red, Huo Gannian's heart suddenly became flustered. He knew what that look meant.
"Chen'er, don't blame me..." His voice trembled a little, his posture and tone became humble, he knelt on one knee in front of her, raised his head to look at her:
"I just don't want you to sacrifice yourself to repay me. I know you too well..."
She interrupted him, her tone sad and self-deprecating:
"You know me too well, so you're hiding it from me? You're lying to me for my own good?"
After a pause, she continued to ask:
"How long did you intend to keep this secret from me?"
Under her almost interrogative gaze, he couldn't lie, his Adam's apple rolled slightly as he answered her:
"lifetime."
Hearing these two words, she was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
"Back then, you clearly helped me find my benefactor..."
"Yes, I was sincere at that time, Chen'er."
"You should know that although I am determined to stay in the Huo Gang and stay by your side, I will never forget my benefactor. I will think of him until I die and take this regret to the grave, right?"
"right."
"Then why do you still..."
"Since I've kept it a secret from you, I intend to keep it a secret for the rest of my life."
"The play of a lifetime?"
"yes."
After hearing this, Yun Chen slowly exhaled, and his shoulders drooped, as if he was extremely disappointed and heartbroken.
Waves of pain struck her heart, and tears slowly welled up from her eyes, falling one by one, gently hitting his raised face.
As if he was suddenly stung by fire, he collapsed instantly. He stood up and hugged her, holding her in his arms with all his strength, and pleaded:
"Chen'er, don't be angry with me..."
She let him hold her motionless, only asking two words in a hoarse voice:
"Who is it?"
Huo Gannian's body stiffened, and he hugged her tighter and harder, burying his head deeper into her shoulder, as if he thought that this way he could avoid this problem forever.
Seeing his ridiculous and childish evasive attitude, she became more and more disappointed and her expression became colder and colder.
When her eyes became as cold and frigid as autumn water, she raised her hand and touched his chest——
Push outwards with force.
But after pushing it twice, it didn't move.
Huo Gannian hugged her tightly, begging for forgiveness in her ear again and again, but he didn't say a word that he was wrong and shouldn't have lied to her like that.
She simply stopped pushing and asked him again in a cold tone, "Who is it?" Then she added:
"I'm asking this one last time."
The four words "one last time" sound as cold as "last chance".
Huo Gannian finally slowly loosened his hand, looked into those strange eyes that made his heart palpitate, frowned slightly, and whispered:
"Black plum blossoms break the new moon, white plum blossoms darken the setting sun. 'Plum blossoms break the moon,' two jade pendants, one black and one white, were left by my mother before she passed away, for me... and..."
Before Huo Gan could finish his words, Yun Chen staggered back in shock, pushed him away fiercely, turned around and rushed out like an arrow, leaving him alone sitting on the ground.
Looking at her empty hands, he clenched them tightly, but he could not retain her gradually dissipating body temperature.
