Chapter 305
Upon discovering the truth, Yu Yue pretended as if he knew nothing and continued his sweet romance with Bai Xiaoxi. After all, compared to the fact that he couldn't have children, he was more worried about Bai Xiaoxi finding out and being heartbroken.
The Qin family was moved by this.
Qin Xian, however, wasn't surprised. In Yu Yue's eyes, Bai Xiaoxi was the most beautiful existence in the world. His greatest dream was to protect this pure and innocent beauty, hoping that Bai Xiaoxi would live a carefree life forever.
"Alas, Qin Xian and the others don't know that these two deeply in love individuals once broke up."
This thought immediately piqued everyone's curiosity. Weren't they indifferent?
"Bai Xiaoxi was only clever once, but it happened to be at the worst possible time. She found out about her condition and, heartbroken, decided to break up with Yu Yue. That's why Ke Yun'er mentioned that big cry and the withdrawal from school—it was because Bai Xiaoxi cut off contact with Yu Yue, who then gave up everything to stay by her side."
The Qin family breathed a sigh of relief. What a dramatic love story! It was tough on these two young people. Wait a minute, who did Ke Yun'er say she slept with? Could it be that Yu Yue was so devastated that he lost control after drinking and mistook Ke Yun'er for Bai Xiaoxi? How clichéd!
Qin Xian quickly realized the truth. Earlier, Ji Fei's thoughts had revealed a crucial piece of information: Yu Yue had only ever been with Bai Xiaoxi. So, no matter how convincing and well-argued Ke Yun'er's claims were, they couldn't change the fact that Yu Yue had never been with her.
Ji Fei seemed to think of this too and couldn't help but complain.
“Clearly, in that study abroad memory, there was no trace of Ke Yun'er. Yu Yue first officially met Ke Yun'er when she became his stepmother. This means it’s highly likely that, just like the previous misunderstanding between brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Ke Yun'er once again mistook someone else for Yu Yue. Wow, she really treats every man she sleeps with as Yu Yue? That’s... hehe, truly beyond belief.”
Fortunately, Bai Xiaoxi is simple and easy to coax. Yu Yue repeatedly demonstrated to her that he actually disliked kids and had only said otherwise to go along with her. This misunderstanding didn't affect him at all. He loves their two-person world and is even afraid that a child would compete for her affection. Under such sweet-talking, Bai Xiaoxi, being a bit silly, was easily coaxed back, and the two returned to being the lovable goofy couple they were.
"The reason why the Bai family hasn't agreed to their marriage yet is due to concerns. During their relationship, the Bai family has repeatedly given benefits to the Yu family. They know that the Yu family values having many children and the bloodline. If Yu Yue truly wants to be with Bai Xiaoxi, they can only adopt children in the future."
The Qin family thought the Bai family was quite sensible.
Qin Xian figured that if the Yu family knew the truth, they certainly wouldn't agree to Yu Yue and Bai Xiaoxi being together. No wonder Yu Yue and Bai Xiaoxi have been staying abroad for so long—it's to escape the Yu family's control.
"The Bai family is also honest. What's the point of giving benefits to the Yu family? Yu Yue doesn't have a good relationship with them. If they knew what Yu Yue has done for Bai Xiaoxi, they'd probably worship the Yu family. We should find a chance to remind them, so they don't get taken advantage of."
The Qin family nodded in agreement.
Qin Xian, however, was momentarily stunned. He paid attention to every word his wife said, so he immediately caught on to something: What did Ji Fei mean by "what Yu Yue has done for Bai Xiaoxi"? Has Yu Yue done something that no one else knows about?
But since Ji Fei wasn't thinking along those lines, everyone else couldn't hear it.
Meanwhile, Ke Yun'er was still accusing, seemingly in tears, as if her love with Yu Yue had been repeatedly crushed and hurt.
"After he left, I tried to contact him, but there was never any response. I even came to work at Yu Yue's company, waiting for him. But fate played a cruel joke—my brother-in-law fell for me. My parents sold me out, and I could no longer be with Yu Yue openly. Yet, I couldn't let him go. I wanted him to be happy, even if it wasn't with me. So, I had to hide all my feelings and quietly play the role of his stepmother, pretending not to know him."
Yu Yi listened in a daze. Ke Yun'er's story sounded so sincere that he completely believed it. He never expected his nephew to hide so deep, watching his own father marry the woman he once loved.
He even slept with his stepmother, got her pregnant, and planned to have another child. Was he trying to maintain this incestuous relationship?
Yu Yi couldn't help but complain. He felt like he had forgotten how close he had been to his nephew just moments ago.
“It's not our fault. It's your Yu family's oppression that forced Yu Yue to play along with Bai Xiaoxi. And I only wanted more leverage to help Yu Yue escape your control,” Ke Yun'er spoke with righteous indignation.
This left Yu Yi a bit puzzled. Even though he didn't interact much with Yu Yue, he could see that Yu Yue really loved Bai Xiaoxi.
So, was his nephew acting all along? No wonder he's been dragging his feet about getting married.
Suddenly, Yu Yi thought of something and, feeling sympathetic toward Ke Yun'er's sorrow, couldn't help but blurt out, "Don't worry, they won't be together."
This statement surprised Ji Fei and Qin Xian, who were eavesdropping.
Ke Yun'er suddenly looked up, as if finding a lifeline, her eyes gleaming with a strange light as she looked at Yu Yi with eager anticipation.
Yu Yi directly said, "I accidentally found out—Bai Xiaoxi can't have children."
"Damn, he actually knows. Oh, it turns out that Yu Yi's mother is quite skilled in household strife. She has the means to hide and targeted the most promising couple for political marriage in the family. After investigating, she discovered Bai Xiaoxi's health issues. According to the Yu family's tradition, such a daughter-in-law, no matter how good, is useless. So, this mother was very 'kind' to keep the secret, hoping that Yu Yue and Bai Xiaoxi would be locked together, childless. Unexpectedly, her son revealed it."
The Qin family frowned. After all, it was Bai Xiaoxi's family secret. Yu Yi was just a loose-lipped person. He probably had some hidden desire to please Ke Yun'er.
Qin Xian also frowned. He was now very curious about Ke Yun'er's reaction.
The next moment, they heard Ke Yun'er immediately ask excitedly. After Yu Yi explained, Ke Yun'er was silent for a long time before saying, "I understand."
Her voice sounded a bit hoarse.
Yu Yi seemed to realize he shouldn't have exposed this, but then he quickly comforted himself. At least he knew the secret of the stepmother story and could let his mother continue to manipulate Yu Yue. And looking at Ke Yun'er, she didn't seem like the type to use such a secret to threaten anyone.
