In fact, Yu Yan had a premonition a long time ago that his identity might have been exposed a long time ago.
But feelings are feelings, and rationally, Yu Yan can’t face this fact directly.
When he left Xiaoxi Village, Xiao Wu was still an ignorant child. How much memory could a three-year-old girl have about what happened in her childhood? In the years of growing up, it should have been forgotten.
But his sister seemed to be not an ordinary child. Not only did she remember what happened in those days, but she also missed him as a brother.
He didn’t know when he left a flaw that made his sister connect Yu Yan with him.
All along, he hoped that his memory in his sister’s mind would stay in the year of separation. At that time, he was Xiao Wu’s brother, upright, healthy, and worked hard for the brother and sister to live well.
“You will regret it.”
Yu Yan prepared a lot of words, but when he saw Ah Wu, he could only utter these words weakly.
“What about you, Brother? Have you ever regretted it?”
Ah Wu pursed her lips. From the moment she prepared to do this, she had no intention of hiding it from her brother.
It was her handiwork that the thousand-year-old pine tree was struck by lightning. It was also an agreement between Ah Wu and the Third Princess that she had people instigate Jin Qiaoqiao and fan the flames of rumors that were unfavorable to her.
There were two purposes for this. One was to alienate the various forces and make the waters more muddy, and the other was to cut off the possibility of being arranged to marry and have a reasonable reason not to marry again.
“You…”
Yu Yan’s lips moved. After getting an affirmative answer from his sister, the heart that had been tense all the time strangely relaxed, as if everything had settled down, and his heartbeat gradually returned to calm.
But Yu Yan still didn’t know what to say. All the words he wanted to ask were stuck in his throat. It was difficult to utter a single word at this moment.
“No regrets.”
Yu Yan looked at his sister and said, “I have never regretted it.”
In fact, when he had just finished the cleansing and was in the most pain, thoughts of regret flashed through his mind, but these emotions lasted for a very short time.
Once they appeared, Yu Yan would think of the scene where if he had not done that, his sister would have been sold to that shameful place and suffered more humiliating torture than what he was experiencing now. At that time, he would not regret it at all.
He raised Xiao Wu so delicately that even in the most difficult times, he could not bear to let her suffer a little.
At that time, Yu Yan told himself that he would bear his sister’s pain and experience the ups and downs of his sister’s life. He would bear all the pain and suffering, so his sister’s life would be happy and fulfilled.
Whenever he thought about it this way, the suffering he was experiencing did not seem so difficult to endure.
So when Xiao Wu asked him if he had ever regretted anything, Yu Yan could answer without hesitation that he did not regret anything.
Even if he was given a chance to do it again, he would still make the same choice.
“But I really regret it. I regret that I wasn’t sensible enough at that time. I just slept for a night, and when I woke up, I lost Brother.”
Ah Wu stood on tiptoe and held Yu Yan’s cheek with her hand.
“Brother recognized me the first time you saw me, right? What a coincidence! At that time, I also felt that Brother gave me a familiar feeling. In fact, I had guessed that you were my brother a long time ago, but you refused to admit it, so I pretended not to know.”
“I guessed what Brother was thinking. You are too stupid. How could I dislike you? You are my most beloved brother. You are the best brother in the world. There is no other brother who can treat me well like you.”
Ah Wu put her arms around Yu Yan’s neck and threw herself into his arms.
“Originally, I wanted to wait a little longer, but Brother is becoming more and more like a turtle, shrinking himself in his shell and refusing to believe that his sister would accept him in any way.”
“So now I don’t want to wait any longer. I want to pull him out of his shell and tell him that Ah Wu misses him very much. I have been thinking about him since the day we separated.”
Ah Wu’s attitude at this time did not allow Yu Yan to avoid it at all.
