Chapter 165

Ying Rushi was QingWu!

This answer didn't surprise Xiao Chenyuan; instead, it brought a sense of relief, as if the burden had finally been lifted.

But what followed was a feeling of emptiness.

Xiao Chenyuan pulled the corner of his lips into a self-deprecating smile. In truth, she had revealed her "flaw" from the very beginning.

Whether it was when she "married" into the manor and insisted on staying in the Yuanwei Courtyard, or the irises she casually drew, or the particular attention she paid to Mu Ying.

Even the name "Ah Wu" was not the first time he had heard it.

His heart had suspected long time ago, but each time she denied it, he had believed her.

But now, with the truth laid bare before him, he could no longer continue pretending to be naive.
