Chapter 593 Old Friend
"Wanwan, I'm going back to check on Zaizai first, then I'll come find you later." Yin Mei seemed to want to escape this somewhat helpless environment.

"Okay." Bai Wanwan smiled understandingly at her.

Yin Mei left in a hurry, and the remaining males stood in place. Some of them seemed to want to follow, but seeing that Yin Yuan did not move, they had no choice but to hold back and look at Bai Wanwan. Perhaps it was because Bai Wanwan's face was too beautiful.

Except for Yin Yuan, all the other males blushed.

Seeing this, Hua Han stepped forward, grasped Bai Wanwan's hand, and asserted her ownership.

His gaze swept over the males in front of him with a menacing intensity.

Bai Wanwan turned her head and smiled at Hua Han, letting him hold her hand tightly.

Instead of leaving immediately, she turned around and leisurely sized up Yin Yuan.

Of the five or six males present, all were considered handsome, but Yin Yuan stood out the most. With her cold demeanor and deep-set features, she was only slightly inferior to her beast husbands.

"You like Yin Mei?" Bai Wanwan didn't mince words and directly exposed the man's thoughts.

Yin Yuan raised his eyes, looking at her honestly, and did not deny it: "Yes."

“It doesn’t matter if you like me,” Bai Wanwan said calmly but with weight. “If Sister Yin Mei doesn’t like you, I will kick you out.”

“She…” A deep pain flashed in Yin Yuan’s eyes, and his voice was low, “She used to… like me too.”

"Before?" Bai Wanwan felt a little curious, but when she thought of the suffering Yin Mei had endured, she felt that "had liked her before" was more like an irony.

"What's the use of liking her before? You weren't there when she was suffering. Now that Sister Yinmei doesn't like you, you're useless to her."

“No way,” Yin Yuan stubbornly retorted, with a sliver of hope that refused to be extinguished, “She still likes me.”

In fact, Bai Wanwan noticed that Yin Mei seemed to treat him differently, which is why she stayed to talk to him a little longer.

“Then what did you do to offend her?” Bai Wanwan’s eyes sharpened. “If that’s the case, we won’t keep you here.”

"I didn't do anything to wrong her!" Yin Yuan hurriedly defended himself, with a pain of being misunderstood. "It's...it's that she didn't know the situation and misunderstood me."

"Then what's the point of having a mouth? Don't you know how to say it?" Bai Wanwan's tone was slightly impatient. Misunderstandings in relationships often stem from a lack of honesty.

Too lazy to argue any longer, she gave him a final deadline: "I'll give you two days. If you can't win back Sister Yin Mei's heart and get her to accept you within two days, then all of you must leave the Tiger Clan."

Yin Yuan pursed his thin lips and looked again in the direction Yin Mei had left, where there was no one left.

He remained silent for a moment, then, as if having made up his mind, said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Bai Wanwan had just made a two-day appointment with Yin Yuan when she looked up and saw Yin Mei returning, coming out of her stone house. Seeing Yin Yuan and the others still standing there, her delicate brows immediately furrowed, and obvious annoyance appeared on her face.

"Wanwan, come here," Yin Mei waved to her, her tone carrying a hint of eagerness to escape the place, "Let's go for a walk over there."

She pointed to the quiet stream flowing not far away.

Perhaps sensing Yoon Mi's obvious dislike, Yoon Won's lips moved, but in the end he didn't follow. He simply stood silently in place, his gaze calmly following Yoon Mi's retreating figure.

Bai Wanwan walked lightly to Yin Mei's side and took her arm.

Yin Mei's annoyance vanished, replaced by a gentle smile as she carefully examined Bai Wanwan: "You're finally back. For the past six months, you've been constantly on the go. Sometimes I'd see the chieftain of the Rong tribe standing alone on that towering city wall in the evening, gazing out for a long time. He must be thinking of you."

Bai Wanwan immediately pictured the chieftain's calm yet possessive demeanor, especially his way of expressing "longing" through his actions. Her ears burned slightly, and she mumbled a reply: "Um... things are temporarily settled now. I'm back, and I won't be going out again easily."

She skillfully changed the subject, "But you, Sister Yin Mei, do you really not like those men at all, especially that Yin Yuan?"

Yin Mei fell silent for a moment after being asked the question. The two walked slowly along the stream, the babbling water making the surroundings even more tranquil.

She sighed softly, her voice filled with complex emotions: "You noticed? Yin Yuan... he grew up with us. Life was tough in the tribe back then. When Yin Ze was very young, he would often secretly bring us game. Sometimes he hunted it himself, and sometimes he saved it from his share. If it weren't for him, Yin Ze and I... might not have survived those snowy seasons."

Bai Wan was slightly stunned; she hadn't expected to have such a past.

If that's true, then Yin Yuan also owes Yin Ze a debt of gratitude.

"Then what happened to him later..." she asked softly. Something must have happened later, otherwise, given Sister Yin Mei's sentimental and nostalgic nature, she would never have been so cold and distant towards him.

"Later..." Yin Mei's voice lowered, carrying a trace of a long-standing but not fully healed wound, "I was diagnosed by the clan doctor with... low fertility."

Bai Wanwan's brows furrowed immediately, and her expression turned cold. "So he turned around and stopped talking to you?"

“No, that’s not it.” Yin Mei shook her head, her eyes gazing at the clear stream, as if reflecting the past. “He… he still brings me game, even more often than before. It’s because I don’t want to be a burden to him.”

Her fingers twisted together unconsciously. "He was a very outstanding male in the tribe, and many females were attracted to him. At that time, and later... he also had other females. I left the tribe just before they were about to mate."

Bai Wanwan recalled Yin Yuan's words, "She doesn't know my current situation," and doubts arose in her mind: "But could there be some misunderstanding? If he really has a mate with that female, how could your clan leader still send him here? A male who already has a mate would never be arranged like this."

Yin Mei shook her head in confusion. "Maybe it's dangerous outside, so he brought young males from the tribe to become my beast husbands. I don't know the specifics." Her words carried a self-protective resolve, but also concealed a subtle, deeply buried sense of melancholy.

Bai Wanwan gently held Yin Mei's slightly cool hand, looking at her with tender eyes: "Sister Yin Mei, you grew up together and have so many memories together. He even helped you when you were going through the toughest time. Perhaps you should ask him about it. If he really is in a relationship, then you should both live your own lives well..."
