The words "uncle" hit Ye Yanxi like a stone right in the face.
It made her head buzz.
That time in the hotel when she saw Xiao Yu and Mrs. Chu, there was no hidden relationship between them. In fact, they were... siblings!
She had misunderstood Xiao Yu that time.
So, he must have known her relationship with Chu Beize when he saw the photo of her and Chu Beize last time.
"Xiaoxi..." Chu Beize kept calling her.
Only then did Ye Yanxi come to her senses. Looking at Chu Beize's strangely excited face, she remained expressionless.
"What are you doing here? Why aren't you with your fiancée?" Ye Yanxi frowned, her tone extremely cold.
"Xiaoxi, I'm here today to tell you that I've always been sincere to you. I... I don't love He Man. From beginning to end, you're the only one I love. You must believe me." Chu Beize looked a bit anxious, his eyes full of sincerity.
"And then?" Ye Yanxi sneered and stared straight at him.
"My marriage to He Man is also out of necessity. I've never loved her. This marriage is just a stopgap measure. I'll divorce her later, and then I'll marry you."
Ye Yanxi sneered but didn't reply. Because of that life - saving grace when they were kids, she had worked so hard to like him for years, done so many things for him, and endured his volatile temper. But what was the result?
Now, he came to tell her these things, asking her to be his mistress. Looking at the humble Chu Beize in front of her, Ye Yanxi felt that the Chu Beize in her memory had long been dead. The man in front of her was not him. How could he say such things?
Even if it was love, it shouldn't be like this.
Or rather, Chu Beize had only ever loved himself. What he was reluctant to give up was just the eight - year relationship. There was nothing else. In the future, he would still be the young master of the Chu family, while she, Ye Yanxi, would gradually be forgotten by him.
After knowing him for eight years, Ye Yanxi finally had to admit at this moment that the man she had loved would treat her like this in the end.
After a long while, Ye Yanxi expressionlessly pushed aside Chu Beize who was blocking her way. "I've heard what you wanted to say."
Chu Beize thought she was finally wavering, so he was in a very good mood. "Xiaoxi, I'll definitely keep my promise. Wait for me."
Then he walked towards his car. After a pause, he said, "If you have any difficulties, you can ask uncle for help. I have to go. I'll come to see you next time."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Xiao Yu had been standing silently on the side. His deep eyes were unfathomable, taking in all of Ye Yanxi's expressions.
"Feeling reluctant, are you?"
His sarcastic and cold tone carried a hint of playfulness.
Ye Yanxi suddenly turned to look at him. Xiao Yu must have brought Chu Beize here to humiliate her.
"Sir, do you think this is fun?" Ye Yanxi's voice trembled slightly, with undisguised anger.
