Chapter 1039: Chapter 1062: Blind to the Obvious

He speculated about Xu Zi’s purpose, but couldn’t think much. He didn’t know much about the entanglement between Ye Ranran and Xu Zi.

The issue was very secretive; neither the Huo Family nor the Jun Family would allow it to be exposed in public. So, even if he had deliberately searched, he wouldn’t have unearthed much.

Just like when Jun Mochan investigated the Song Family, unless the Song Family was willing, he wouldn’t find out much.

Above, three people were still confronting each other, and Xu Zi turned a deaf ear to the shouts from below.

Xu Zi, with her back to Ye Ranran, looked down. She spread her arms and was about to jump when a frantic voice came from behind her, "You stop right there."

Had he finally come? Xu Zi smiled. She turned around to face Huo Yi in his military uniform.

He still looked much like when they first met, distinguished in appearance. Yet, he had changed—the sunny-faced young man wouldn’t wear such a stern expression.

His gaze toward her also wouldn’t be as cold as a sharp blade.

Time had worn both of them down until neither resembled their former selves.

"What do you want to talk about?" Xu Zi’s gaze was a bit vacant; her face showed no emotion, and she seemed a bit wooden.

A dead heart, probably looked just like this.

Huo Yi didn’t care much; even if she died in front of him now, he wouldn’t feel even a little bit sad.

Perhaps he had once liked her, but that like couldn’t be considered love. After all the things she had done, even that little bit of like had disappeared.

Xu Zi’s gaze wandered inch by inch across his face, as if trying to carve the face she had seen for ten years into her bones, or as if trying to discover a trace of different emotion.

Or maybe traces of lingering love. But there was none.

Not a bit left.

"Why?" Xu Zi asked.

"What why?" Huo Yi couldn’t understand the inexplicable question.

Ye Ranran and Jun Mochan stood quietly to the side, with Ye Ranran occasionally glancing at the time, her eyes flickering with urgency now and then.

So long had passed; why hadn’t Xu Zi’s parents arrived?

"Why can you fall in love with Ye Ranran again?" And not leave any kindness for her?

"I think you got it wrong. She has always been in my heart, just that I was young and reckless, not understanding love, and I missed out. I wanted to part with you amicably. It was you who cut off your own retreat."

He didn’t consider himself utterly deceitful or evil. Even if they divorced, considering their past, he would grant her a way out.

He couldn’t say they could still be friends, but he wouldn’t mistreat her. After all, he had taken over her entire youth.

"But it was your repeated greed, your repeated attacks on Ranran. Now, I can no longer keep you." Huo Yi’s veins stood out, his face slightly distorted with anger.

Uncovering the past always brought uncontrollable guilt; if not for his blindness, Ye Ranran wouldn’t have suffered so much.

He was blind.

"You’re right; none of you can keep me." Xu Zi turned around once more.

"Xiao Zi." A roar suddenly came from the crowd, but Xu Zi didn’t hear it, and her body began to lean.

Ye Ranran didn’t know what to say. Persuade her? She genuinely couldn’t find words to persuade her. What she desired, she couldn’t promise any of them.

Jun Mochan was already thinking about how to handle this PR crisis, how to use the information at hand to quickly clear Ye Ranran’s name.

Huo Yi’s muscles tensed coldly, his eyes fierce, looking as if he was ready to devour someone.
