As the car slowly drove past him, Han Yifeng could vaguely see Xi Xiaye, who sat in the car with her head turned the other way, looking out.

He hesitated for a moment. He hesitated whether he should chase after, yet after a momentary contemplation, the mixed emotions in his eyes quieted down. At last, everything returned to its previous calm state.

Suddenly, by his ear came the soft sound of Xi Xinyi choking on her sobs.

"Yifeng, I... did I do something wrong? Sister, she..."

Han Yifeng turned around and saw gloom written all over the delicate face of Xi Xinyi. Her beautiful eyes were teary, yet she still bit down hard on her lip, determined to force her tears to stay in. When he saw this face, it inevitably made his heart ache for her sake.

He did know what to say. He could only tighten his grip around her waist and pull her further into his arms.

Xi Xinyi then hugged him and leaned tightly in his embrace, her stifled cries muffled.

He looked ahead pensively at the car that had already vanished into the hazy drizzle. Then, Han Yifeng coldly retrieved his gaze, focusing on Xi Xinyi who buried herself in his embrace to cry. His apathetic face started to ease and he said softly, "Okay, don't cry now. We'll slowly explain these things to her later on. She's a very sensible person, so she'll see it and will understand."

"But, but... when I saw her like that earlier, I was really devastated. Father says she hasn't been home for a long time already. She's definitely still blaming Father and Mother because of us..."

"Let's not talk about these things first. Get into the car. Uncle and Aunty are waiting for us at Emperor."

Han Yifeng took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped away her tears. He opened the car door and coaxed, "Get into the car first."

Xi Xinyi sniffed and swallowed the lump in her throat before she tearfully got into the car.

The car sped towards the north city's Emperor Entertainment City. Along the way, Xi Xiaye did not say anything. The car was filled with an indescribable gloom. It was so stifling that Su Nan felt an acrid and bitter taste in her throat.

She wanted to console her, yet she saw Xi Xiaye had already leaned back and maintained her composure of looking out the car window. Her cold lips were sealed tightly. Through the dim lights outside the car with various depths that kept reflecting her in their brightness, in that instant, if one looked over, she seemed particularly desolate and distracted.

"Xiaye, don't be sad... I'm sorry, I... I know I shouldn't have acted like that, but I really couldn't control myself. Seeing them in their cheap happiness, I just couldn't hold back. I was about to explode and go crazy! How could they still live so happily without feeling ashamed at all after hurting you?"

Su Nan was furiously rambling on as both her hands held Xiaye's shoulders. She looked at Xiaye's fair and beautiful face before she asked anxiously and with worry, "Tell me, Xiaye. Have you not let go? It's been so many years, but you haven't been willing to let go and try to accept another relationship. Is it because you haven't let go of Han Yifeng? Is it? Tell me!"

Su Nan shook Xi Xiaye by the shoulders and asked dejectedly.

Xi Xiaye became dizzy from her shaking, so she could only lift a hand to hold down her hands that held her shoulders. Her crimson though slightly pale lips parted with a voice filled with fatigue and powerlessness. "Su Nan, stop talking. Just let me be alone for a while, okay?"
