053, Date with my boyfriend (Second Update)

Ye Yan's smile gradually faded, revealing a grief-stricken expression, "How could anyone joke about such a thing? After Ayuan's accident, the Ye Family sent many people to verify the facts. Every single member who went on the mission with Ayuan perished at sea, without exception."

He took a step forward, reaching out to pat her shoulder, but Ye Jiuliang stepped aside to avoid it, leaving him grasping at air.

Gracefully retracting his hand, he continued, "Jiuliang, I know your father's death is a terrible blow to you, but he was my own brother, and my grief is no less than yours. Be so stubborn no longer; you should come back for Ayuan's death anniversary to fulfill your filial duties."

"Heh."

A cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning emerged.

Ye Jiuliang stood up, her brows slightly rebellious, "Uncle, your words will linger in my heart. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave. We'll talk another time."

She turned and walked away, her departing figure carefree.
