“I didn’t intentionally eavesdrop,” Ye Lengan shrugged and explained. “The truth is, you guys were just too loud. If you don’t want your arguments to be overheard, it’s better to find a more secluded place.”
This was a school campus, bustling with people. Even if it wasn’t her, it could have been someone else, Besides, she didn’t feel the need to apologize.
“I’m not trying to blame you.” Li Deze, with a bitter smile, suddenly asked, “Ye
Lengan, do you also think I’m a fool? All this time, I’ve been played by Ye
Xiyuan. ”
“You’re not the first, and you won’t be the last,” Ye Lengan replied, offering no consolation. “However, I do think your intelligence might be lacking a bit; otherwise, you wouldn’t have fallen for Ye Xiyuan’s clumsy schemes.”
In reality, Ye Xiyuan’s methods weren’t particularly sophisticated. It was just that when people looked at her, they seemed to have a built-in filter, thinking she was inherently kind, and any wrongdoing was imposed on her by others. After hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Li Deze’s smile turned even more bitter. Looking at the transformed Ye Lengan standing before him, he couldn’t help but be bewildered.
He couldn’t remember the last time he had truly looked at Ye Lenz’an. Now, as he examined her once again, he realized the person in front of him seemed entirely different from the Ye Lengan he remembered.
Undeniably beautiful, Ye Leng’an of the past had a touch of wilfulness. Regardless of her beauty, she was like a delicate doll in a showcase.
Present-day Ye Lengan, however, was a complete departure. Radiant and sharp, the first thing noticeable about her was not her beauty but her dynamic temperament, with her beauty noted subsequently.
“You…” As if unsure of recognizing the Ye Lengan he grew up with, Li Deze’s shock was evident. “Seems like quite a change.”
If it weren’t for that familiar face, he might not even dare admit that this TWas the Ye Leng’an he knew.
“Everyone changes,” Ye Lengan responded, her expression unchanged. “We’ve all just grown up.”
“That’s right! Everyone has changed,” Li Deze mumbled, looking somewhat absent-minded. Nevertheless, he raised his head, gazing at Ye Lengan, and said solemnly, “Ye Lengan, I owe you an apology. I’m sorry.”
After discovering Ye Xiyuan’s true nature today, he realized he had misunderstood Ye Lengan all along. So, regardless, he should apologize to Ye
Lengan.
“I’ve received your apology.” Ye Leng’an nodded, then added, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. I still have to get back to class!”
Li Deze’s apology didn’t elicit any emotion from her. In fact, she no longer harbored any feelings for Li Deze. The current Li Deze was nothing more than a stranger to her. Thus, she didn’t care whether he apologized or not.
Observing Ye Leng’an’s impassive expression, Li Deze couldn’t help but ask, “Ye Lengan, are you…”
Ye Lengan looked at him, waiting for him to finish.
Under Ye Leng’an’s scrutinizing gaze, Li Deze’ s words were stuck in his throat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t utter them.
In the end, he could only shake his head, managing a forced smile. “It’s alright now. Goodbye.”
Ye Leng’an nodded and left without hesitation, not sparing Li Deze a second glance.
Watching Ye Leng’an’s departing figure, Li Deze, left behind, felt a wave of bitterness. He knew that the distance between him and Ye Lengan was growing. In the future, they might not have any interactions at all.
Reflecting on their past, where they grew up together, and the families even had the intention of marriage, everything seemed so distant now.. When did this change happen? It was after Ye Xiyuan returned to the Ye family!
