The sudden shout instantly drew everyone's attention. As they looked in the direction of the sound, their gazes unanimously fell upon the figure that had just appeared.
"See? I told you my brother wouldn't just sit by... Huh? Why is it an uncle?"
Ling Yin had thought it was Ling Chen. However, when she looked closely, she saw it was only a one-eyed uncle, and her disappointment was immense.
Almost simultaneously, Xu Ruoyan's delicate body trembled. She too seemed to look up, her heart leaping. But upon seeing that the man was not whom she had hoped for, she disappointedly withdrew her gaze.
What's wrong with me?
Xu Ruoyan couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. She had thought she had completely forgotten Ling Chen, yet unexpectedly, when it came down to it, she still found herself hoping he would appear.
Xu Ruoyan, you truly are despicable. That man was an accomplice in your father's murder, the son of your enemy. You absolutely cannot develop feelings for him again.
