Ye Jian sobbed softly. As her tears flowed out, the weight in her heart was finally lifted.

Although her mother did not manage to marry her lover in the end, in the eyes of the man she loved deeply, her mother was already his wife…

Even without a marriage license, her mother was his wife.

At this moment, Ye Jian’s tears kept flowing. She couldn’t control her emotions anymore. She cried in front of the two men.

Xia Jinyuan did not persuade her not to cry. Instead, he raised his hand and gently stroked her back.

‘Just cry. Let the tears wash out all the grief you’re feeling inside.’

He blamed himself for not noticing that Little Fox minded these things so much.

In her heart, her biological father was a heartless man who abandoned his wife and daughter. Although she did not mention it, there had always been a knot in her heart.

That made sense. She, who had been tortured since she was young, saw that Ye Ying had parents who doted on her. She, on the other hand, had no parents and was bullied by Ye Ying all the time. When she needed to be protected by her parents the most, she didn’t receive any love. She had to rely on herself to survive.

When she was beaten, wronged, or scolded, her small self could only curl up in a corner and tend to the wounds on her heart. No one would stand up for her.

No one would feel sorry for her. She had no one else to rely on.

At that time, although she did not know that her biological father was someone else, how could she not hate him once she knew?

To think that he thought he knew her the best. In the end, what happened?!

With deep self-blame in his eyes, Xia Jinyuan hugged his lover who made his heart ache. He turned his head and lowered his head to kiss her hair.

‘I’m sorry, my little fox. It was my oversight that caused me to not realize how deeply you care about this.

‘If… if I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have let you suffer, let alone let Li Jinnian bring this up now and make you cry.’

Xia Jinyuan pursed his lips. In front of Li Jinnian, he was hugging Ye Jian, who was crying like an injured little beast. He stroked the back of her head tightly with one hand and let her tears fall on his clothes.

This time, Ye Jian was indeed crying fiercely. She buried herself in Xia Jinyuan’s arms and gripped the corner of his shirt tightly. She cried until her body twitched. Other than her cries, there was no other sound in the ward.

Neither of the two men spoke. They stayed quietly with her, letting her weep.

Xia Jinyuan was hugging Ye Jian so that she could cry loudly in his arms. Li Jinnian, who was clenching his fists, had to use a lot of strength to suppress the urge to hug his only cousin.

This was his cousin, the only cousin who truly made him feel connected by blood!

Her sobs told him that her life was not going well.

No, it wasn’t that it wasn’t satisfactory, but… it was filled with suffering!

Li Jinnian clenched his fists even tighter. His handsome face was dark, and there was a hint of gloominess between his brows. The air pressure around him was low as if he was wrapped in dark clouds.

He needed to investigate his cousin’s previous life. He had to find out everything!

In the past, her life was filled with suffering. In the future, he would definitely make her life full of love. He did not hope to make up for her previous suffering. He only hoped that her future days would be sunny!
