    “Did you really get drugged?”

    This was the first thing Xue Xue asked after waking up.

    Wei Chinian, who was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her, was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

    Looking at each other, Xue Xue was in a daze.

    At this time, Wei Chinian was completely different from the man who had tormented him so hard in bed yesterday after they reunited. He was a little shy and at a loss. These behaviors that were contrary to his own temperament made Xue Xue inexplicably have the illusion of traveling back in time.

    However, this is actually not like Wei Chinian when he was young.

    It’s amazing. It makes Xue Xue feel ridiculous that things are out of control.

    But she didn’t have much time to appreciate that fact, because the man stood up.

    Being condescending, even if the smile on the face does not diminish, it still brings a full sense of oppression.

    “This is not a lie,” he said, “but it is an exaggeration.”

    Xue Xue was startled, and then understood.

    “Then Gao Wenji…” The moment her eyes met with Wei Chinian’s, an idea flashed in her mind and she connected the things.”You’re already doubting him?”

    Wei Chinian nodded first, and then shook his head gently.

    Xue Xue couldn’t figure it out.

    “I suspect everyone,” he explained.”Gao Wenji is naturally included.”

    Xue Xue understood.

    “How…have you lived these years?”

    Although she was a little hesitant, she finally chose to ask the question that mattered most to her.

    At the same time, Xue Xia is eager to get the answer.

    Wei Chinian did not answer immediately, but just looked at her quietly.

    If we only guess based on the superficial situation, there is no doubt that the man has been living a very prosperous life in recent years.

    The surname Yuchi in Jingnan not only symbolizes wealth and business in all walks of life, but also reputation and status. Even across the country, the influence of the Yuchi family in Jingnan in both political and business circles cannot be underestimated.

    After all, this is a truly powerful clan with a heritage that spans more than a hundred years, and what outsiders can see is just the tip of the iceberg.

    It has both a glamorous appearance and a stale interior.

    The real heyday of the Yuchi family was more than thirty years ago. However, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it wanes. When the Yuchi family expands its tentacles in a big way, a shadow quietly falls.

    An earth-shattering scandal pushed the Yuchi family to the forefront.

    If calculated based on time, it should be a matter of Grandpa Wei Chinian’s generation.

    However, the media at that time was not developed, and there was no Internet as a medium for rapid communication. Although the incident was suppressed later, the Yuchi family was also severely damaged. The head of the Yuchi family at that time, the man who was regarded as a talented man who led the family to a higher level, did not even survive his fiftieth birthday.

    The power thus fell into the hands of Grandpa Wei Chinian. Although he had no great achievements, he was well versed in the principle of keeping a low profile and biding his time. In addition to the clan members in the military and political circles who chose to retreat bravely, the business sector also withdrew a lot, saving a glimmer of hope for the Yuchi family.

    Later, he worked steadily, deeply cultivated his business, and stayed in the south of Beijing. After so many years, relying on his deep family background, he finally opened up a new world.

    Since arriving in Jingnan, Xue Xue has taken the time to inquire about the Yuchi family through various channels.

    However, due to the large gap between classes, the information available is quite limited, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

    But Xue Xue did not gain anything.

    But she believed that as a member of the big family, Wei Chinian, who had returned to Yuchi’s family for many years, would definitely be able to tell her a more complete story, which would be more reliable than the story she pieced together.

    It just depends on whether he wants to say it or not.

    Xue Xue stared at Wei Chinian.

    “Just live like this.” After a long silence, the man finally spoke, pretending to be relaxed: “It’s no different.”

    Xue Xue hesitated for a moment, and finally chose not to expose him.

    Lies that are too obvious sometimes contain not malice but memories of humiliation and embarrassment.

    She believed that Wei Chinian would say it himself when the time came.

    “Then…” Xue Xue lifted the quilt and stood up directly.”What is our relationship now?”

    Obviously Wei Chinian didn’t expect that she would ask so bluntly.

    Xue Xue was wearing his own clothes.

    A long shirt that reaches just to the midline of the thigh.

    Originally, Wei Chinian wanted Gao Wenji to buy new ones, but he gave up on second thoughts.

    This shirt is tailor-made according to Wei Chinian’s body standards. The material is very good and not transparent. It is supposed to leave little room for imagination, but when it is worn on Xue Xue, it makes people feel uneasy.

    “I’m asking you something, Wei Chinian!”

    Seeing that the man was distracted, Xue Xue became angry and hit him with her fist.

    The force was not strong enough to bring Wei Chinian back to his senses.

    “I…”

    He opened his mouth and spit out a word, but the sound fell silent again.

    “What? You don’t really want to be a scumbag who runs away after sleeping, do you?” Xue Xue’s eyes were as bright as a torch, trying to see through his heart.”The same thing you did when you were eighteen?”

    These fluttering words, like cold smoke made of ice crystals, slid over Wei Chinian’s ears, making him shiver from the cold.

    Those prepared excuses suddenly became unavailable.

    Originally, Wei Chinian had already made up his mind that no matter what Xue Xue thought about him, he could not be shaken anymore.

    Say no to her firmly.

    He must safely send her back to her original world instead of following him and getting involved in the whirlpool and storm.

    Wei Chinian looked at Xue Xue’s quiet and peaceful sleeping face, countless thoughts went through his mind, and finally only this thought remained.

    He can’t be so selfish.

    In order to catch the light, drag the light into the endless darkness.

    Because the hidden dangers laid by temporary impulse and indulgence must be removed by one’s own hands.

    However, now, under Xue Xue’s gaze, Wei Chinian suddenly had strong self-doubt.

    Is it really better to say nothing?Can I really hide it for the rest of my life?We finally reunited, but in the end we had to let go and continue to miss it?
