The aloof and indifferent expression on Yue Zheng's face could no longer be suppressed when he heard Lu Yan's words.
The frost covering that handsome face began to crack inch by inch.
The man's deep blue eyes turned to the side, avoiding Lu Yan's gaze.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It happened ten years ago... I don't remember it."
"Really?" Lu Yan curled her lips calmly, "You don't remember, but I remember it clearly and I dare not forget it until now. Second brother, I have kept this secret in my heart for ten years, just to see when you are willing to face your true feelings.
Ten years ago, Mu'er stayed at the manor. She bumped her knee and hurt herself, and cried all night.
At that time, I thought she was crying because she was afraid of pain, but later I observed that she was crying because she was in a cold war and had a quarrel with you.
After finally coaxing her to sleep, I went back to my room. But later, I was worried that Muer didn't sleep well, so I wanted to go check on her, but... I saw you by her bed.
Second brother, you were clearly in a cold war, but you bent down and kissed Mu'er who was still asleep.
From that moment on I knew that you liked Mu'er."
"I told you, you're wrong, I don't like her." Yue Zheng denied it coldly without even thinking.
Lu Yan smiled, "You don't like her? If you don't like her, why haven't you dared to see her since then? Why did you suddenly say you wanted to leave China and go to Europe? You were gone for ten years, and the only time you came back was when Mu'er was not around. You not only like her, you are even afraid to see her. You are afraid that you can't control yourself and do something to your eldest brother's fiancée.
Second brother, you are indifferent to everything. If you don't love someone so much, how can you lose control of yourself? Admit it, you like Mu'er. Not only like her, but you like her very much. You love her but cannot have her. You love her very deeply.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have been unable to control yourself and get close to Mu'er the next day after you had to return home. Haven't you ever thought about why your ten-year aloofness collapsed in an instant when you saw Mu'er?"
Of course Lu Yan knew about the scandal between Yue Zheng and Qiao Muer in school.
She was not stupid. Her elder brother was not here at all. She only needed to ask a few questions to find out the rumor that was widely spread in the school: whether Qiao Muer's fiancé had black eyes or blue eyes.
Yue Zheng thought that his interactions with Mu'er were concealed very well.
But I don’t know what kind of mentality Lu Yan had when watching them become closer.
If it wasn't because the eldest brother suddenly had someone he liked, according to the script prepared by Lu Yan, the eldest brother would come back to prepare for the engagement party and would go out with Mu'er.
If that were the case, the jealousy in my second brother's heart would be completely aroused.
He could also understand what kind of feelings were hidden deep in his heart.
It’s a pity that even Lu Yan could never see through her elder brother.
What he didn't expect was that the little tail following behind the big brother would become his beloved.
Lu Yan said everything he could and should say.
She looked at Yue Zheng quietly, waiting for his answer.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes...
I don’t know how much time passed.
Yue Zheng's icy blue eyes finally reacted.
"I see."
Yue Zheng raised his narrow, cold blue eyes and looked back at his sister who was sitting opposite him.
He said word by word: "I will give the Qiao family an explanation."
…
In the next room, Qiao Muer was applying a wet towel to her eyes and lips in the bathroom.
Her eyes were red from crying and her lips were red and swollen from being kissed.
But later, she will have to face her daddy, mommy, godfather and godmother, and she can't go on like this.
