Wu Xueyi's heartbeat was like a war drum, thumping. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the panic inside. The moonlit streets were silent, and the girl seemed to be able to hear her own breathing.

"I'm ......," Wu Xueyi spoke again, speaking a little faster than before, "I remember that my grandfather once mentioned a legend."

Li Yao's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Wu Xueyi's slender eyebrows trembling slightly, as if he was trying to recall something. "Oh?" He replied in a low voice, "Speak slowly, not in a hurry."

"Hmm." Wu Xueyi nodded in agreement, and quickly weaved a story about Long Yanding in her mind.

She began to narrate: "It is said that a long time ago, the ancestor of our Wu family saw Long Yanding and regarded it as an heirloom of the Wu family......

Hearing this, Li Yao chuckled in his heart.

Dark Dao: It turns out that Long Yanding was obtained by the ancestors of the Wu family?

He looked at the corners of Wu Xueyi's lips, which were ruddy and beautiful like roses, but trembled slightly with nervousness, and did not notice anything abnormal.

Wu Xueyi paused and looked at Li Yao, "Later, I didn't know what happened, Long Yanding mysteriously disappeared, and the descendants of the Wu family never saw it again... As for the reason for the disappearance......" she spread her palms, "I don't know."

This description is ambiguous, saying it is equivalent to not saying it, and does not reveal any meaningful information.

But Li Yao didn't show anything unusual, he only thought that too much time had passed, and the Wu family had passed it down from generation to generation, and it was normal for the news to be omitted.

Wu Xueyi's heart is like an ocean, with turbulent waves.

She knew that what she had just said was not nutritious, and if she wanted to have more contact with the sea, she had to say something real.

"Actually......" Wu Xueyi said softly, "I can go back to my hometown to find the family tree, maybe I can find more news about Long Yanding's disappearance."

Li Yao's eyes condensed slightly, "Where is your hometown?" I'll go with you. 「

Hiss!

Hearing this, Wu Xueyi's heart was shocked.

This is an opportunity to get along with Mr. Hai alone.

Lonely men and widows, it seems very possible that something indescribable will happen during the journey.

For a while, Wu Xueyi thought a lot.

But there is another voice in her heart: If Mr. Hai goes with him, in case the journey does not happen, what will you pay?

Be calm, be calm! Wu Xueyi kept admonishing herself in her heart.

"I'm sorry Mr. Hai, the situation in my hometown is more complicated, if you go with me......" Wu Xueyi said hesitantly.

Li Yao seemed to understand.

At Wu Xueyi's age, it is long overdue to talk about marriage. It's really a bit inappropriate for a big man to go back to his hometown with his sister.

Cough!

Li Yao coughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I'm too anxious, you are willing to help find out this matter, whether there is a result or not, I am very grateful."

Wu Xueyi looked at Li Yao's eyes full of expectation and trust, and she suddenly felt like she was standing on the edge of an abyss, and one wrong step was a catastrophe. However, she also understands that there is no way back, only forward.

"I...... Naturally, I am willing to help Mr. Hai, and I am willing to do anything." Wu Xueyi said meaningfully.

The streets were silent under the moonlight, but Wu Xueyi seemed to hear the chaos and noise in her heart.

The lie has been sold, and the next thing is to go on hard.

Good. Li Yao smiled and agreed, then please.

No problem. Wu Xueyi nodded and said, I will do my best to help Mr. Hai find the news of Long Yanding.

Wu Xueyi returned to her residence and lay on the bed but could not sleep. Everything in the room seemed so quiet, only the sound of her heartbeat was pounding in her ears, like an invisible drummer, playing the melody of her inner chaos.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. However, Mr. Hai's eyes full of expectation and trust lingered like ghosts. He had so much hope for her, but she ...... She actually lied.

Wu Xueyi covered herself in pain

In the chest, it is as if I can feel the heart being cut apart by sharp contradictions. "Why should I do this?" She asked herself, "Is it just to have more contact with him?"

But then again, if there is no such opportunity, there may be no possibility of being alone with Mr. Hai and further developing the relationship in the future.

This kind of thinking made Wu Xueyi fall into deeper troubles and entanglements.

"I'm so greedy." Wu Xueyi shook her head slightly, "I know it's wrong to deceive, but I still chose to deceive."

Moonlight poured into the room through the windows, bringing a faint, cold glow to the darkness. Wu Xueyi looked at the vague shadows of the moonlight projected on the ceiling, and her heart became even more confused.

If...... What if he knew the truth? Wu Xueyi couldn't help but start fantasizing. Will he be angry? Will you be disappointed? Or just take me out of my life?

Imagining the picture of Li Yao being angry or disappointed or even desperate and turning away made Wu Xueyi more and more afraid. In the blink of an eye, the panic that welled up in his heart almost drowned him out.

Li Yao didn't know that Wu Xueyi was lying, he specially told Aung San Suyi that if Wu Xueyi wanted to go back to his hometown, he would send bodyguards to protect him throughout the whole process and reimburse all the expenses for the round trip.

This news reached Wu Xueyi's ears, which made the girl a little nervous on the spot.

Things seem to be spiraling out of control.

"Why?" Wu Xueyi asked herself blankly, "I obviously just want to have more contact with him......

What am I going to do? Wu Xueyi locked herself in the office, and her heart was hesitant.

Wu Xueyi sat in a chair in the office, her hands clenched, her eyes empty and confused.

She remembers, in the long-dusty genealogy of her hometown.

As a girl, she has no right to inherit the family tree, and she has never seen the family tree.

As...... Directly add a little record of Long Yanding to the family tree, as long as you don't say it in detail, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

As soon as this idea appeared, it was like an awakened devil who could no longer be contained.
