Yun Bixue’s heart thumped, and her clear eyes widened visibly, staring at Xie Limo in shock.

She couldn’t process that statement right away in her confused state.

Xie Limo sighed. “Back then, many people in the Xie family objected to my younger sister’s relationship with that man. No one knew of the Ye family, so the higher-ups strongly opposed it.”

Yun Bixue’s heartbeat sped up as she gaped visibly, wanting to ask more. However, no words came out. She didn’t expect that man to be linked to Xie Limo’s younger sister.

She had a lot of questions, but she wouldn’t ask. She didn’t want to bring up those past things that would hurt Xie Limo.

Yun Bixue reached out to embrace Xie Limo. “Limo, don’t be upset. Let bygones be bygones. I’ll not mention that man anymore. I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”

Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue on the head, soaking up the warmth she provided.

In the past, whenever he thought about his own younger sister, he would always feel an unspeakable sadness, but now that he had Yun Bixue, she provided him with the most important warmth that could turn his mood for the better.

At least now, when he thought back about it, he wouldn’t be as upset.

“Xue, you didn’t do anything wrong. You are correct. I always make decisions that I think are the best for you, but it was my selfishness that has caused me to hide all these from you. It’s unfair to you.”

If it were any other people, they would be curious beyond measure about the Xie family and would’ve already asked a lot of questions.

However, Yun Bixue had been with him for such a long time, and she had yet to take any initiative to ask him about the Xie family.

She gave him ample time and space, which was already good enough for him.

Yun Bixue shook her head. “There’s nothing fair or unfair between a married couple. I used to want to know more to help you shoulder the responsibility. You’re telling me to draw my people out from the country, which means that something dangerous is going on. If I don’t know what’s going on, how can I not worry for you?”

Xie Limo lowered his head to kiss Yun Bixue’s head as he tightened his arms around her. “Xue, I’m sorry!”

“A married couple is not allowed to thank or apologize to each other. That’s the rule you created, and yet you’re apologizing to me right now. You’re being too distant, you know. It makes me unhappy.”

Xie Limo was touched by her words. Warmth surged through his body, erasing any trace of chillness surrounding him.

He ran his fingers through Yun Bixue’s soft strands of hair like a comb, his heart softening gradually.

“Whenever I think back about it, I always feel sad. Back then, I wasn’t strong enough to protect her. The higher-ups were putting so much pressure on her. She had no choice but to elope, and after that…”

Xie Limo couldn’t continue from there.

Yun Bixue raised her head and continued for him, “And you lost your younger sister like this. That man then started blaming the Xie family for all that have happened and hated the Xie family?”

A glint flashed across Xie Limo’s magnificent eyes. “Perhaps that is why he hates the Xie family.”

Yun Bixue blinked as her expression became solemn. “Did you guys eventually find out what family the Ye were?”

“Yes we did. The Ye family was not a normal one. They were an internationally renowned hidden family.”

“You’re saying that if the Xie family knew that the Ye family was not an ordinary family, they would have allowed your younger sister to be together with him?”

Xie Limo shook his head. “That’s not for sure. There will always be those people in the Xie family who would force their views on others, so they will always think that my younger sister’s partner should be a person chosen by them.”
