A Heartbreaking Answer

"Silly girl, I'm fine," Nalan Chunbo stroked her hair adoringly and said, "I just want to take a break and travel, I'll be back soon."

Ye Yuwei was very heartbroken but she kept it to herself.

Compared to her brother, she seemed to be much more fortunate.

"I need to apologize to Aunt Wen before I go," Nalan Chunbo mumbled faintly.

Ye Yuwei stared into Nalan Chunbo's forlorn eyes and said, "Mom never blamed anyone."

Nalan Chunbo knew, but he still owed her an apology for his mother's misdeeds.

"Okay, off you go. I don't want Gu Juexi to stampede over here looking for you," Nalan Chunbo remarked with a smile, changing his lonesome expression quickly.

"Brother—" She got to her feet reluctantly and said, "You must let me know where you are going or I'll be worried sick."

"Okay, I'll let you know. You should get back home," Nalan Chunbo replied with a tender smile as he gently ushered Ye Yuwei towards the door.
