Chapter 1706: The Same Birthmark (Part Three)

However, Gu Yuexi’s expression only changed for a moment before he quickly brought the children to the bathroom.

After breakfast, Ye Yuwei accompanied Bai Ying up the mountain to look for the Venerable One. Gu Juexi never believed in such things, so he took the two children to rest in the homestay. It was a rare chance that he got to go out for a few days.

However, Ye Yuwei did not expect to meet Ye Cong on the mountain.

Ye Chong stood under an ivy plant in the temple. He had his back to them as he looked up at the snow on the coniferous leaves.

Ye Yuwei did not like Ye Cong, so she ignored him and entered the temple with Bai Ying.

Bai Ying patted Ye Yuwei’s hand and looked at Ye Cong.

“Is he here for you?” Bai Ying asked.

“No, I don’t know him,” Ye Yuwei said directly. If possible, she wished she did not know Ye Cong.

Ye Cong turned around. He was not angered by Ye Yuwei’s words. Instead, he greeted Bai Ying. “Madam Bai, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Madam Bai scrutinized Ye Cong before turning around and entering the hall. “Go ahead and talk. Come see me later.”

Ye Cong smiled because of Madam Bai’s understanding.

Ye Yuwei took a deep breath and finally looked straight into Ye Cong’s eyes. Perhaps it was because he had not had a good rest for a long time, his eyebags were dark and his complexion was not as good as the last time Ye Yuwei saw him.

Ye Cong sat down first. “Do you hate me that much?”

“If you weren’t probing people with every word you say, maybe I won’t hate you so much.” Ye Yuwei sat down opposite him as well. Her retorts were her truthful thoughts.

What she cared about and was most frustrated about was Ye Cong’s cautiousness and tendency to probe.

Ye Cong nodded slightly to show that he understood.

“Okay, then everything I say to you now is no longer a probe,” Ye Cong said sincerely.

“That’s because there’s nothing else for you to find out. After all, you already know Mo Fei’s whereabouts.”

After all, after what happened the night before, there was no need for Mo Fei to hide anymore.

Ye Cong was not angry at Ye Yuwei’s words. “I’ve rebuilt the orphanage and found a lady surnamed Ye to be the matron. What do you think?”

He sounded like he was asking a question, which made Ye Yuwei unconsciously observe him more.

“No matter how many orphanages Gu Juexi runs, they won’t be the same as the one we used to have. I want to return to the one we used to have. Our orphanage.” Ye Cong lowered his eyes and swirled the cup in his hand.

Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and her fingertips landed on the snow. Her heart would still tremble whenever the orphanage was brought up in conversation.

“There’s no need.”

“Do you really think so?” Ye Cong’s tone turned sharp.

Ye Yuwei raised her head and looked straight at Ye Cong. “Even if you established a similar orphanage in the same place and found a matron with the same surname, it’s not our orphanage anymore.”

A sharp yet urgent voice sounded in the air, echoing for a long time in the ethereal atmosphere.

Other than the echoes of her voice, the only other thing that intersected was their gazes.

Ye Cong suddenly burst out laughing. “The orphanage was established because of you and it was destroyed because of you, too. If you weren’t the only one left from the orphanage, sometimes, I thought I would have killed you too.”

He spoke so casually like he was just joking with Ye Yuwei.

Yet, Ye Yuwei could tell that he was not joking.
