Before Secretary Wang could finish, someone knocked on the door.

“CEO Han, a girl said she’s the assistant of Director Xi from Glory World and she brought a letter for you. Would you like to take a look?”

The female personal assistant put a thick envelope right on Han Yifeng’s table.

Director Xi from Glory World?

Xi Xiaye?

Han Yifeng squinted his eyes and then picked the envelope up. He opened it and took out the document inside. There was a very thick pile of it, so he flipped through them slowly.

After just reading several pages, his expression darkened quickly. Everything listed inside was about all the bad deeds Xi Xinyi had done, including the incident when she had been stabbed many years ago as well as the disappearance of Huang Shanshan’s necklace, and many others…

He studied the documents with darkened eyes. Soon, he grasped the documents tightly as his breathing became short and his aloof face seemed pale.

Impossible!

This word flashed through his mind.

However, the clarification letter that was written by Xi Xinyi brutally reminded him that all of these were true. It was not a forgery at all!

Bang!

Just as he was about to grab the coffee beside him, in a flash, the freshly-made coffee was now spilled all over the floor along with the broken glass.

He then suddenly remembered that it seemed…

The information that someone had sent to his email before was all true…

Naturally, he had not believed it when he first received it. Due to the recent stress, he wanted to take a break during his trip abroad this time around in order to reorganize his thoughts. However, in just two days, a disastrous wave had landed upon him.

Xi Xinyi…

So, she had been lying to him all these years?

Han Yifeng’s expression changed slightly. Unable to believe it, his whole body froze on his chair as he did not move an inch as if the whole world had gone quiet.

“CEO Han? CEO Han? Are you okay?” Secretary Wang seemed a little worried upon seeing Han Yifeng.

Han Yifeng’s mind went blank for a moment. He stared at Secretary Wang blankly when he called out to him. After a while, he signaled for them to leave.

Secretary Wang traded glances with the female personal assistant out of confusion. They left anxiously. After that, Secretary Wang gave Xi Xinyi a call out of concern.

The office became quiet again after they left. It was so quiet that it was difficult to breathe. He could feel a pain stemming from deep inside every time he inhaled. That pain was usually subtle, but it was amplified several times stronger every time he quieted himself down.

After some time, he took a deep breath before roughly pushing the thick pile of papers away. They scattered everywhere and covered the whole office.

He lit up a cigarette and let out a big puff, using up almost all his energy just to force himself to stand up.

Going towards the large window and grabbing onto the curtain tightly, he looked at the city lights outside. For some reason, all he could think of now was not Xi Xinyi’s bad deeds or all the lying she had done. Instead, he was reminded of Xi Xiaye’s pretty little face under the streetlights.

“Happy birthday. I’m not going to give you a lot of gifts in the future because I’m worried that you might not value my gifts that much anymore if I give them too frequently, so I’m only giving you gifts on your birthday. I’ll head back for now. Get some rest soon.”

“Yifeng, I don’t know who you’ve ever liked or who liked you all these years, but are you willing to hold your promise onto the marriage contract if I asked you to?”

…

Now that she had sent these things to him, was it…

These past memories were supposed to be hazy, yet they became crystal clear at this moment, and he felt extremely horrible.

Bang! The door was suddenly slammed open as the clacking of high heels on the floor came close.

Xi Xinyi panicked when she saw all the papers on the floor. Her pale, white face became anxious, and she could not control her tears anymore when she saw Han Yifeng standing beside the large window facing outside. She rushed over and hugged Han Yifeng from the back as she cried.

“Yifeng, where have you been? Why is your phone always switched off? I’m really scared and I don’t know what to do now… Sister did this on purpose. She put me into this difficult situation. What should I do now, Yifeng?”

She cried uncontrollably, her tears soon soaking his shirt.

Still, Han Yifeng did not do or say anything and just let her hug him.

“Yifeng…” Xi Xinyi called out to his name as she sobbed.

“Shouldn’t you explain to me about what happened first? Are these the truth?” After some time, Han Yifeng’s disappointed tone reached her.

Xi Xinyi was stunned as she suddenly held onto Han Yifeng with all her might as she continued crying, “No, Yifeng, I… I just really love you… but at that time, you only saw Sister. It was… too much suffering for me. I just want you, Yifeng. I can lose everything but you. Please don’t leave me now… Please…”

Xi Xinyi was sobbing so badly that she was almost out of breath. She stuttered and her usual elegant self was nowhere to be seen. Instead, her current self looked absolutely pathetic.

“So, because of your so-called love for me, you did all this to get me?”

Han Yifeng turned around and looked at Xi Xinyi who had tears all over her face. He frowned in anguish.

Xi Xinyi covered her face with both hands and cried out loud, “I didn’t. I didn’t… but I didn’t have any other choice, Yifeng. If I didn’t fight for you, you’d be with Sister already. Grandfather planned to get Sister to be engaged to you at 15 years old. I really love you. I’ve been longing to know more about you since the first time we met, so I… Everyone has the right to fight for their love. I…”
