Chapter 677: Informed of His Return
Li Yi entered from outside,
Li Yiran hastily closed the door and reproached, “Didn’t I say, if there’s nothing urgent, don’t come to me during this time? If someone sees you now, it’ll be impossible to clear my name.”
She was aware of Li Yi’s feelings towards her. Although he was devoted, he wasn’t among her preferred choices. Nevertheless, Li Yi remained her loyal follower.
In ordinary times, she treated Li Yi more amicably when he was useful. If there was no utility, she avoided even glancing at him.
She wasn’t concerned about Li Yi leaving her; she knew she was the unattainable in his eyes, an irreplaceable presence.
Upon hearing Li Yiran’s words, a bitter smile appeared on Li Yi t s face.
However, he quickly composed himself and looked at her, saying, “l came here today because there’s something very important I need to tell you.”
He didn’t understand why he persisted in being devoted to Li Yiran. Despite knowing she was using him, he couldn’t let go.
Furthermore, because of Li Yiran, he had virtually lost any standing within the Huangfu family. Once the leader of the Li generation, he was now completely replaced by Li San. What unsettled him most was his inability to access the Hidden World.
Being barred from the Hidden World meant losing his place there in the future. His master’s actions unmistakably declared his abandonment. Henceforth, he would be nothing more than a common servant of the Huangfu family in the mortal world.
He understood that everything that happened was because he persistently placed his heart on Li Yiran, leading to his master’s decision to let him go.
However, even now, he couldn’t resent Li Yiran. He accepted it willingly. Moreover, even at this moment, he couldn’t let go of Li Yiran.
Li Yiran’s expression didn’t improve upon hearing Li Yi’s words. She maintained impatience, “What’s so important that you come at this ungodly hour? Couldn’t you just call and tell me?”
Now residing in the Huangfu family’s old mansion, secrecy was crucial.
“Miss Yiran. Young Master Ruixiang has returned from the Hidden World.” Ll
Yi said, looking at her. “He came back a few days ago.”
“What?” Li Yiran immediately retorted, “That’s impossible.”
For many days, Huangfu Ruixiang hadn’t visited her once. Although she was officially resting in the mansion, she couldn’t leave, unaware of external events.
“It’s true,” Li Yi asserted. “Moreover, this time, Young Master Ruixiang didn’t return alone. He brought back a girl who is now staying in a hotel under Huangye Group.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yiran felt a tremendous shock. Her color faded, and her lips trembled. She almost collapsed, her voice sounding as if forced out. “Impossible.”
Concerned, Li Yi hurriedly approached, holding her hand. “Miss Yiran, take a deep breath and calm down.”
He anticipated such a reaction when revealing the truth. Nevertheless, it had to be said, considering the child in her belly belonged to Huangfu Ruixiang, who had brought a woman back now.
Li Yiran grabbed Li Yi’s arm, her sharp nails sinking into his flesh. Trembling, she asked, “Is what you said true?”
Though tempted to deny it, Li Yi nodded. “It’s true. Moreover, that girl claims to be Young Master Ruixiangs fiancée. He… didn’t deny it.”
Li Yiran’s face grew even paler, and she struggled to stand. If not for Li Yi’s support, she might have fallen.
“Miss Yiran, calm down,” Li Yi urged. “Remember, you are still pregnant. You mustn’t get too agitated.”
A dull pain emanated from her belly. Li Yiran couldn’t help but cover it. After a deep breath, she managed to compose herself.
Li Yi assisted her to sit on the sofa, keeping a vigilant eye on her. Once she calmed down, the stomach pain subsided.
Seeing her complexion improve slightly, Li Yi sighed in relief. He asked, “Miss
Yiran, how do you feel now? Are you okay?”
“I’m fine now.” She forced a smile. Observing Li Yi’s injured hand, guilt crossed her face. “Brother Li Yi, is your hand okay? It’s my fault!”
Seeing her concern, a touch of tenderness appeared on Li Yi’s face. He shook his head. “Just superficial wounds. They’ll heal soon.”
Li Yiran nodded and looked embarrassed. She implored, “Brother Li Yi, can you help me with something? Can you find out who the woman Ruixiang brought back is?”
Under her pleading gaze, Li Yi finally nodded..
