Vera remained silent.

  She was carefully thinking about what Ji Yinbing meant.

  A woman from the past.

  She suddenly said, “Just because I’m his first woman. Is this enough?”


  Vera saw Ji Yinbing’s expression turn ugly.

  Ji Yinbing’s thoughts started to go out of control. She could not help but think of the scene many years ago when she returned from the Medical University and unintentionally saw it outside Yan Nuo’s door. The two of them in the house were kissing each other. Thinking that Yan Nuo had also done those things to Vera, Ji Yinbing felt that her heart was in danger.

  She said nothing and turned to leave.

  Vera smiled victoriously.

  Yan Nuo came over after the call and did not see Ji Yinbing. He only saw Vera and was a little puzzled. “Where’s your sister-in-law?”


  Vera saw the woman in the window on the third floor. She suddenly walked to Yan Nuo’s side and held his hand. She looked up and asked Yan Nuo, “Brother Yan Nuo, I seem to remember something.”


  “Oh?”


  “Were we once lovers?” Vera asked him with a smile. Yan Nuo’s expression turned strange. “Yes, once.” She asked again, “Then we broke up after that?”


  ‘Yeah.”


  “.……Oh.”


  Upstairs, Ji Yinbing saw the two people holding hands on the lawn. She didn’t know what they said. Yan Nuo didn’t smile, but he didn’t look impatient. Vera, on the other hand, looked up at Yan Nuo like a sweetheart, making Ji Yinbing’s eyes hurt.

  She knew that she shouldn’t be angry at Yan Nuo. After all, that was before she fell in love with him. However, love made people crazy, so how could she control her heart?

  Below, Yan Nuo pulled Vera’s hand out of his arm.

  He said, “We’re not lovers anymore. Don’t do this to me again.”


  Vera was disappointed.

  She looked at the grass in front of her and suddenly said softly, “I only fall in love with the boy I love. Although I don’t know why we broke up, Brother Yan Nuo, when I agreed to be with you, I must have loved you.”


  Yan Nuo was distraught. “It’s not appropriate to say such things to me again.” He looked at Vera coldly and said, “Don’t say it again.” Vera was even sadder.

  “1 understand.”


  After sending Vera away, Yan Nuo went upstairs to look for Ji Yinbing. Seeing that Ji Yinbing was lying on the bed and seemed to be asleep, he was puzzled. “Why are you sleeping again?”


  Ji Yinbing was not in a deep sleep and woke up when she heard the sound. She mocked Yan Nuo, “Is it very satisfying to hold hands with your ex-lover?”


  Yan Nuo was silent.

  A moment later, he said, “You saw it.”


  “Yeah.” “Are you angry?”


  “Yeah.”


  Yan Nuo apologized in distress. “What should I do? I made my little cutie angry again.”


  Ji Yinbing almost died from being called cute.

  “Please shut your mouth. Don’t say any mushy words to disgust me.” Yan Nuo pulled Ji Yinbing into his arms and said, “Then I beg you to help me shut up.”


  Ji Yinbing was speechless.

  On this day, Yan Yu returned. Her father, who was far away in America, sent her an email and asked her to

  help him take something and mail it to him. Yan Yu did not know if there was anything her father wanted in the study.

  She told Yan Nuo about this at the dining table.

  Yan Nuo said, “My parents’ things are in that room. If what my father said really exists, it must be in the study room.”


  After the meal, Ji Yinbing took the liberty to ask Yan Nuo, “Yan Nuo, is your father still alive?” After coming to the Yan family for so long, Ji Yinbing had never heard Yan Nuo and his sister mention her father. She thought that their father was already dead.

  Yan Nuo’s feelings for his father seemed to be very complicated.

  He seemed unwilling to talk about this topic.

  Seeing that he was unwilling to mention it, Ji Yinbing did not ask further.

  There were many things in the study room, so Yan Yu asked Ji Yinbing to help look for them. Ji Yinbing was a little surprised and said, “That’s not good. I heard that outsiders are not allowed to enter the study.”


  Yan Yu asked in a confused tone, “Who’s an outsider here?”


  Ji Yinbing was stunned.

  Then, she got up and followed Yan Yu upstairs.

  Yan Mei’s father was looking for a beautifully made pipe. It was said that Yan Mei had hired someone to make it for him. There were many things in the study that Yan Mei and Angus used to have. There were paintings, watches, jewelry, and even handcuffs and jade.

  Ji Yinbing thought that Yan Nuo’s mother and father’s lives were really exciting.

  She didn’t find the pipe, but she did find a diary abandoned in the corner. The diary was black. When Ji Yinbing found it, the diary was open and lying on the ground in a mess. She picked it up and saw that the open page had the words: He’s not Neya after all. They’re different. Unfortunately, Neya is already dead. After he dies, my soul will be incomplete.

  Ji Yinbing felt that these words were a little strange.

  Wasn’t Neya Vera’s father?

  Whose diary was this? How did it record such content?

  Ji Yinbing squatted in the corner and took a few more glances, seeing many explicit words.

  She looked back again and realized that there was no more record at the back. She casually flipped to the front and saw a page with the words—


  The first time I met Angus, I felt like he looked similar to Neya’s back. I couldn’t ruin Neya’s family, but I could find someone who looked like him and bring him back to my manor and train him to be the way I liked.

  There was another record—


  Angus seemed gentle and considerate, but he was actually a very thoughtful person. He didn’t become the way I liked him. Angus was Angus, and he was different from Neya. I was a little disappointed. A substitute was a substitute, and it never replaced the real thing.

  Seeing this, Ji Yinbing knew the owner of the diary.

  Angus should be Yan Yu’s father. From the diary, it was not difficult to tell that the owner of the diary was Yan Mei, Yan Yu’s mother.

  Ji Yinbing was shocked.

  He didn’t expect that the person Madam Yan Mei loved was Vera’s father!

  Heavens!

  “Found it!” It was Yan Yu’s voice.

  Ji Yinbing quickly threw away the diary in her hand. She got up and looked back at Yan Yu. She saw the pipe in her hand. It was indeed a beautiful pipe with several beautiful purple gems embedded on it. It was not hard to imagine how much Madam Yan Mei doted on Angus.

  However, at the thought that Angus could get this honor all because of Neya, Ji Yinbing pitied Angus.

  When they went downstairs, they saw Vera again.

  Vera was really shameless. She came to the Yan family every day.

  Without giving Vera an extra look, she called Thomas and ordered him to send this pipe to America personally. When Vera heard this, she said, “Aunt Yan Mei is so good to Uncle Angus. This pipe looks expensive.”


  She said, “Shallow!”
