Chapter 2822: Chapter 963: The Trap

Xia Ye said, "Since we’re here, let’s wait. I’m sure they also want to see our sincere apology."

Yinxing thought the same.

No matter what, they planned to wait outside.

Until they came forward.

They waited for four hours.

By noon, it started to snow.

The snow grew heavier, and a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.

Yinxing’s clothes were soaked.

The butler came out for the fourth time, "Please go back, our master and young master even if they are home, do not wish to see you two."

Yinxing said, "I want to see Ah Yan, I have something to say to him."

Xia Ye and Yinxing stubbornly stood amidst the wind and snow.

Until evening.

And at this moment, in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window on the third floor room.

Stood a tall and cold figure.

Behind him was a middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair.

It was Zhou Dachuan.

Zhou Dachuan spoke, "Ah Yan, if you still have feelings for this girl, I have ways to bring her back to your side."

Ah Yan said nothing.

Zhou Dachuan sighed, "You’ve been refusing to speak these days. I know you’re feeling wronged and very angry. If you really want to vent your anger, I can have someone give the Gu Family’s boy a good beating, or immediately force the girl to marry you. There are actually plenty of ways. You don’t have to torture yourself like this."

Zhou Dachuan watched his son in front of him, feeling endless heartache.

Ah Yan suddenly spoke, "Let them in."

Zhou Dachuan looked at Ah Yan’s desolate figure, seemingly guessing something, "Are you really planning to let go like this?"

Ah Yan said, "She never belonged to me. I was merely dreaming a dream that shouldn’t have been dreamed."

Before Yinxing was almost frozen stiff, the butler unexpectedly let them in.

The butler said Zhou Dachuan was waiting for Xia Ye in the study.

While Ah Yan was waiting for Yinxing in the room.

After ascending the stairs, Yinxing and Xia Ye exchanged a glance, then walked in different directions.

The door to Ah Yan’s room was ajar.

Yinxing stood at the doorway, raised her hand, knocked on the door, and pushed it open.

Yinxing saw Ah Yan standing by the bed, back facing her.

Yinxing slowly walked over.

"Ah Yan..."

Yinxing called out softly.

Ah Yan finally turned around.

Ah Yan said nothing but saw unmelted snowflakes on Yinxing’s hair.

Ah Yan suddenly reached out, wanting to brush the snow off Yinxing’s hair.

But when Yinxing saw Ah Yan’s outstretched hand, she instinctively stepped back.

Ah Yan observed Yinxing’s reflexive action, his gaze suddenly dimmed.

Ah Yan retracted his hand, "Why did you come to see me?"

Yinxing said, "I came to apologize to you. I promised to act for you, but I broke my word and fled in such a situation. I know it’s unfair to you and the Zhou Family. Uncle Zhou must be very angry."

Ah Yan said, "When you decided to escape, you must have already realized I wasn’t acting."

Yinxing froze slightly.

Did not expect Ah Yan to reveal it himself.

Yes, if it were a true act, Yinxing would have seen it through to the end no matter what.

It was her promise.

But at the last moment, Yinxing suddenly realized, they weren’t acting.

Or rather, it wasn’t an act for Zhou Dachuan to see, but a performance for themselves.
