"Lu Yiyao …"
Lin Ange looked at the sadness in his eyes and called out to him softly while grabbing his arm.
"An An, don't worry. I won't go find her."
Lu Yiyao saw a trace of anxiety on her face. He lowered his eyes, rolled his Adam's apple and tried his best to smile at her.
"…"
Lin Ange didn't know how to console him.
He was bitter, she knew.
However, there were some things that others could not help with. They could only rely on themselves.
Just like her, she had such a big matter on her mind, yet she couldn't tell him about it.
"She didn't even come looking for me, why would I bother looking for her?!"
Lu Yiyao laughed at himself.
"I believe that one day, Aunt Huan will definitely recognize you."
Lin Ange's clear eyes were slightly sour.
"…"
This time, it was Lu Yiyao's turn to be silent.
He didn't know when this day would come.
The two sat in silence for a while, neither of them speaking until Lu Yiyao's phone rang.
Focusing and looking at it, it was actually a call from Cloud Lake First Guard.
Helan Xi?
He frowned and stood up.
"An An, let me go pick up a call."
Although he didn't know what Lin Ange wanted to tell him, it was very important for him to avoid Lin Ange first.
"Yes."
Lin Ange pursed her lips and nodded.
Lu Yiyao walked out and intentionally closed the door. Only then did he switch on the screen and press the answer button.
"Hey …"
"Hello, Director Lu. I'm the Warden of Cloud Lake, Mr. Helan is looking for you."
The other party did not say much and directly stated the purpose of the call.
"Alright."
Lu Yiyao walked to the window and looked at the sky filled with rain curtain.
"Lu Yiyao …"
A clear and soothing voice rang out.
"Mr. Helan …"
According to seniority, he should have called Lin Ange 'Little Uncle', but he was unable to open his mouth.
"Lu Yiyao, I've heard about Ge'er's situation. How is she now?"
Helan Xi didn't argue with him, but asked warmly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of her."
Lu Yiyao said self-deprecatingly.
"Lu Yiyao, this is indeed your responsibility. "If it wasn't for you, how could Ge'er have suffered so much?"
Helan Xi's low voice had a hint of sternness to it.
"Don't worry, I won't let her suffer any more harm."
Lu Yiyao, who was always calm and composed, felt a ripple in his heart.
"Lu Yiyao, if that's the case, I'm afraid this isn't the first time you've said this, right?"
Helan Xi replied plainly.
Lu Yiyao's heart was in turmoil and felt a bit weak for some unknown reason.
"Lu Yiyao, I told you before. If one day, Ge'er asks you to leave her. "Please promise her …"
It was like Helan Xi had a monitor installed around him, everything was clear to him.
"No, I won't agree …"
Lu Yiyao replied coldly without any hesitation.
"The result of not agreeing to it is that you've caused Ge'er to suffer time and time again. Lu Yiyao, is this what you want to see? "
"…"
Lu Yiyao was silent for two seconds. His eyes were sharp and firm.
"Rest assured, from now on, I definitely won't let An'an suffer any more. "If you don't believe me, I can swear now …"
"It's better to swear on it."
Helan Xi said casually.
"Lu Yiyao, I am very clear about your feelings for An An and am happy for her."
He paused for a moment as a hint of sadness leaked out from his jade-like eyes.
"But …"
"But what?"
Lu Yiyao's heart tightened and he frowned.
He knew what Uncle Fu said to Lin Ange before he died? But he could not find the answer.
Lin Ange wouldn't say? Lu Jinhui didn't know how to say it either?
Now, the only way out was Helan Xi.
"Lu Yiyao, if there was an absolutely irreconcilable hatred between the two of you, what would you do?"
Helan Xi's long black eyelashes drooped, and his eyes were filled with worry.
"A blood feud?"
Lu Yiyao was stunned. His heart felt like it was struck by lightning and his breathing became stagnant.
"Lu Yiyao, answer me, if it's really like that? What would you do? "
"Impossible?!"
Lu Yiyao replied coldly as he lifted his thin lips.
"You're shaken, aren't you?"
Helan Xi pursed his lips as the light in his eyes became a bit dim and obscure.
"No, I didn't."
Lu Yiyao denied it firmly.
"No, you do."
The next second, Helan Xi denied him directly.
"Mr. Helan, only I know if I have that feeling or not."
Lu Yiyao said coldly. A trace of displeasure appeared on his cold face.
For some reason, he felt disgusted with the people who had interfered with his relationship with Lin Ange.
Love was a matter between two people. No matter what happened, the two of them would settle it themselves. When did it become someone else's turn to criticize them?
Whether it was Lu Jinhui or Helan Xi, they were just using their seniors as cover to interfere in the future for their own good.
Even if he really did have a blood feud with Lin Ange, it should still be left to them.
Growing up in an orphanage, he had developed a personality that relied on nothing but others.
"Mr. Helan, is there anything else?"
Lu Yiyao's attitude became colder than before.
Helan Xi was such a transparent person, how could he not recognize him?
His warm, jade-like face went silent for a moment before opening his mouth and speaking.
"Lu Yiyao, since you've already decided, then don't disappoint her."
"Of course."
Lu Yiyao stretched out his hand and slightly opened the window.
Wet air rushed in. The wind was slightly cold.
He thought that Helan Xi didn't call him just to ask about Lin Ange's situation.
"Mr. Helan, what else do you want?"
"Nope."
He didn't expect Helan Xi to respond like this.
This time, Lu Yiyao was a little confused.
He pulled his gaze away and looked at the reinforced forest shrouded in rain and fog. The light in his eyes once again sank.
"Since there aren't any, then let's do it this way first."
"Yes." "Alright."
Helan Xi replied and paused for a while before giving his advice.

"Lu Yiyao, take good care of An'an."
"Of course, don't worry."
Lu Yiyao tightened his grip on his phone. His fingers felt a little numb.
Helan Xi didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.
Lu Yiyao looked at the gradually dimming screen and became more and more emotional.
What did Helan Xi want to say?
Was it just trying to test him?
Or did he want to remind himself and let him be mentally prepared?
Could it be that there really was a deep grudge between An An and him?
A series of question marks hung above Lu Yiyao's head, causing his forehead to sink.
He suddenly remembered an old saying.
Soldiers come and block; men come and go.
As long as he steeled his heart, regardless of the past, past, future, or future, regardless of what had happened or was about to happen? He would never give up on Lin Ange or the love in his heart.
