My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 480 Ye Yunting’s Discovery

Chapter 480: Chapter 480 Ye Yunting’s Discovery

Moreover, when she looked at Ye Yunting, he seemed to not remember the promise made back then at all.

"Do you still remember that you once visited Chu Kingdom?"

Chu Nanli briefly recounted what had happened in the past, of course, she still omitted her true identity.

She hadn’t yet figured out how to broach the subject.

"Is this the reason that brought you here?"

After hearing Chu Nanli mention the past, Ye Jiuxiao’s first thought was of all the unfavorable consequences that could follow.

"Have you ever considered that if the person who promised you back then was a bad person, or had ill intentions, what would you do then?"

"Haven’t I also not thought so much about it?"

Chu Nanli scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly, as these were indeed things the original owner of her identity had done, and she couldn’t well deny them.

But she quickly regained her confident posture.

"Besides, if I had not done so, how could I have mistakenly met you?"

"How can you conflate the two?"

Ye Jiuxiao, upon hearing her words, felt even more helpless.

Although he didn’t know whether he was the protagonist of the story Chu Nanli was talking about, he could still imagine the scene back then.

Moreover, he felt that the person who had made the promise to Chu Nanli ought not to be him.

After all, how could he do something so irresponsible?

"In any case, all that is in the past now, and I’m not that concerned about it anymore."

In Chu Nanli’s view, the original owner had travelled such a long distance, and rather than it being about the promise, it seemed more about her yearning for the outside world.

She had been protected by her family so thoroughly that she became this naive and beautiful.

However, after meeting Ye Yunting, the original owner truly fell in love with him, even paying such a huge price.

"Whether that person was you or someone else, it doesn’t matter."

After finding this token, Chu Nanli had connected all the scattered clues she had discovered before.

The person from back then, it certainly wasn’t Ye Yunting.

As for whether it was Ye Jiuxiao...

Unfortunately, Ye Jiuxiao didn’t remember that part of the past.

Chu Nanli didn’t want to continue probing into the matter; she even returned the token to Ye Jiuxiao.

But Ye Jiuxiao had not completely let go of the issue.

He still decided to instruct his people to hasten their efforts to find a medicine that could restore his memory.

Outwardly, he didn’t reveal his concern.

...

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere at the Regent Prince Residence, Ye Yunting had become even more tormented during this period.

He truly hadn’t expected that after Chu Nanli was brought to the Regent Prince Residence, she would be so tightly protected by Ye Jiuxiao.

Not the slightest chance was left for him!

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, yet he could do nothing to Ye Jiuxiao.

After all, by birth, he was a generation lower than Ye Jiuxiao.

But Ye Yunting still hadn’t given up; he continued to have people secretly watch the Regent Prince Residence, constantly seeking an opportunity to act.

His previous success had come entirely from catching his opponent off guard; in fact, his strength was no match for Ye Jiuxiao’s.

To take Chu Nanli away from the Regent Prince Residence was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

While his people were keeping an eye on the Regent Prince Residence, they also discovered many things they had never noticed before.

Ye Yunting originally believed that Chu Nanli only owned that one hot pot restaurant.

The business of the hot pot restaurant was indeed booming, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the silver earned was limited.

It was enough for the average household, but to Ye Yunting, it was utterly insignificant.

Therefore, from the time the hot pot restaurant opened, Ye Yunting never took a serious look at Chu Nanli’s small venture.

Besides this hot pot restaurant, she actually had other businesses.

"Are all these pieces of information you’ve found reliable?"

Upon seeing the information gathered, Ye Yunting’s expression immediately turned even grimmer.

For him, the more outstanding Chu Nanli was, the more intense the unease in his heart grew.

He didn’t think this was a good thing.

Ye Yi nodded at his side, "Subordinate has now uncovered that, aside from the hot pot restaurant, the Princess Consort also owns a martial arts school and even has a deep connection with Bright Moon Building."

Although right now, he still couldn’t directly link Chu Nanli to being the owner of Bright Moon Building.

But just the findings so far were shocking enough.

Ye Yi could say without exaggeration that Chu Nanli’s personal wealth now exceeded that of more than half the people in the capital.

Ye Yunting did not have a sense of pride, "Why did she do so much and still keep it hidden from me?"

These things, she might have already started when she was still at the War King Residence.

Yet, he hadn’t heard even a whisper of it!

What he didn’t know was that even the information his subordinates had uncovered now was deliberately let out by Ye Jiuxiao after getting Chu Nanli’s permission.

Otherwise, he might still be in the dark up until now.

"Has she really kept it this well hidden, could it be that she had long intended to leave me?"

Ye Yunting thought about this possibility, and his heart grew even more uncomfortable.

He had thought that as long as he was sincere enough, Chu Nanli would surely change her mind.

But now he found out that perhaps, Chu Nanli had no intention of turning back at all.

Ye Yunting could only forcibly suppress this thought and continued to order Ye Yi to keep an eye on that side.

He was only thinking about how to bring Chu Nanli back, so naturally, he didn’t care about Lin Fuying’s movements.

While he was none the wiser, Lin Fuying had already reconnected with her aunt again.

During this time, although her aunt was worried about Lin Fuying’s situation in the Prince Residence, her own life was going quite smoothly.

"I don’t know what the lady is thinking, she actually stayed at her parents’ house for nearly half a month now, the lord has not mentioned her these past two days," she thought to herself with a sense of triumph.

She had been scheming in the Prime Minister Residence for so many years, was it not all for the position of Prime Minister’s wife?

She didn’t understand what the Prime Minister’s wife was thinking, suddenly going back to her parental home and using the excuse that her family wanted her to stay longer.

"Then you must try harder, from what I see, the lady might not be so easy to deal with."

If it were before, Lin Fuying might have shared the same sense of triumph with the aunt, thinking that the Prime Minister’s wife and Lin Xuanxuan were just that, not real opponents for them.

But after going through so many things, Lin Fuying is now wary of everyone and everything related to Chu Nanli.

After all, Lin Xuanxuan has not been infrequent in her interactions with Chu Nanli lately.

Who knows if she has learned to be smart from Chu Nanli.

The aunt did not take her words to heart, "But you, why were you confined by the Prince for no reason?"

"The Prince hasn’t grown tired of you, has he?"
