Chapter 685: Elope?

Running away from home?

Ye Chen was truly taken aback by this news.

Although Ye Chen had never inquired about Qin Shiyao's family background, from her usual attire, he could easily deduce that Qin Shiyao's family was well-off.

Why on earth would she run away from a perfectly good home?

"Why the sudden decision to run away? Did something happen?"

Ye Chen furrowed his brow and spoke with grave seriousness, "Did you have a conflict with your parents?"

"Uncle, you should stay out of this."

Qin Shiyao sniffed, looking pitiful as she spoke.

"What do you mean 'stay out of it'?"

Ye Chen glared at Qin Shiyao and insisted sternly, "If you don't explain yourself, believe it or not, I will call your parents right now."

Thinking she could stay here without giving him a reasonable explanation, she must be dreaming.

"Uncle, you're bullying me."

Qin Shiyao's eyes reddened, and she nearly burst into tears, speaking with a sense of injustice.
