The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Yan Fan made no attempt to conceal his words, and everyone was instantly stunned by his self-disclosure.

"No way, has Yan Fan lost his mind? Young Master Ye and the others are already suspecting whether he and Yan Ruyu are siblings, and instead of taking the opportunity to back down, he first confirmed that he and Yan Ruyu are siblings, and then he confessed that he has ulterior motives towards Yan Ruyu? What kind of move is this?"

"Don't ask me. I'm not a mind reader like Yan Fan. How would I know? I didn't understand a single thing about his amazing moves."

"Is this guy so angry he's gone mad, thinking it's something to be proud of to like his own sister?"

"Possibly. He was probably too devastated and went completely insane."

"All I can say is that people shouldn't have any thoughts they shouldn't have."

Only now, through the whispers of those around him, did Yan Fan realize how stupid he had just done. His face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground, looking utterly dejected.

"I'm sorry, Ruyu, it's all my fault. I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry, so very sorry."

Ye Linyuan looked at Yan Fan, who seemed to have been drained of all his energy, shook his head, and pulled Bai Yu along, heading towards where Luo Qingge and the others were.

"Shishi, Xi-jie, Xin-jie, Xiaogezi and Wangshu, are you all getting impatient? Let's go eat."

As he spoke, Ye Linyuan subconsciously reached out to hug Luo Qingge.

To Ye Linyuan's surprise, the little pigeon, who had always been obedient and compliant to him, took two steps back and avoided his embrace. Her eyes, which should have been bright and dazzling, were now devoid of any light.

"Ah Yuan, I'm sorry, Little Pigeon can't hurt Ah Yuan, Little Pigeon can't let Ah Yuan get hurt."

Seeing that the little pigeon was clearly not in a good condition, Ye Linyuan quickly stepped forward, ignoring the little pigeon's struggles, and held it in his arms, gently comforting it.

"Little pigeon, don't be afraid. A-Yuan won't get hurt, and he certainly won't be hurt by you, little pigeon. Trust me, okay?"

Normally, Ye Linyuan's actions would definitely calm Luo Qingge down, but today, no matter what Ye Linyuan did, Luo Qingge kept struggling in his arms.

Helpless, Ye Linyuan could only loosen his embrace and let the little pigeon stand in front of him. He was somewhat afraid to get close, fearing that she might do something to hurt him.

"What happened to the little pigeon? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Ye Linyuan turned his gaze to Gu Shishi, An Wangshu, and the two sisters Ye Xi and Ye Xin, who were standing with the little pigeon, and his expression was not good.

Under Ye Linyuan's gaze, all four women felt a jolt in their hearts and their faces turned extremely pale.

Why is Luo Qingge acting like this? Isn't it because of that theory they just talked about—that brothers can't like their sisters?

Although they deliberately didn't say it, that it's because of blood ties that you can't like someone, it's definitely because of them.

It seems that Luo Qingge has taken this to heart, which is why she has developed a clear resistance to Ye Linyuan.

If they were to explain at this point that they were siblings, all their previous efforts would be wasted, and it might even cause Ye Linyuan to develop negative feelings towards them.

Moreover, Luo Qingge is everyone's biggest rival right now. If we can kick her out of the game at this time, it would be great news for everyone to celebrate!

No, this absolutely cannot be revealed!

The four women all thought the same thing.

"I don't know. We were just focused on protecting Luo Qingge and didn't pay attention to why she suddenly became like this."

However, Ye Xi still had to answer Ye Linyuan's question. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and spoke first, pretending that she didn't know anything.

As soon as Ye Xi spoke, Ye Xin, her twin sister, immediately chimed in.

"Yes, yes, no one knows either. Ah Yuan, do you think it might be because her illness has flared up again?"

Gu Shishi and An Wangshu nodded repeatedly.

"That must be it, it must be a relapse of her autism."

"Brother, don't worry. You are special in Luo Qingge's heart. She's just having a relapse because of her illness. She'll be fine soon."

Ye Linyuan was not mentally challenged, so he could tell at a glance that Ye Xi, Ye Xin, An Wangshu, and Gu Shishi were obviously hiding something from him, and it concerned Little Pigeon, but they were determined not to tell him.

After thinking it over, Ye Linyuan decided to wait until evening to have a proper talk with Ye Xi and Ye Xin, and let them know the consequences of daring to hide anything from him!

And then there's An Wangshu, who's really like a dog that gets on the roof if you don't discipline him for three days. Now he even dares to play around with me like this?

Don't think that just because she's the real heiress of the fake young masters, she's all that great. If I don't beat her so badly tonight, I, Ye Linyuan, will take her surname tomorrow and change my name to An Linyuan.

If all else fails, change the name to Anlan!

As for Gu Shishi...

Under Gu Shishi's clearly uneasy gaze, Ye Linyuan gave her a deep look, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Shishi, you know me. I've always hated being lied to, so don't you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's words, Gu Shishi's face instantly turned deathly pale, not much different from Yan Fan, who was slumped on the ground.

"Brother Yuan, I..."

"Never mind, Shishi, it's okay if you don't want to say, but I just hope you won't lie to me. We grew up together, I believe in Shishi, you wouldn't lie to me, right?"

Without glancing at Gu Shishi again, Ye Linyuan walked up to Luo Qingge, ignored her struggles, grabbed her hand, intertwined his fingers with hers, and placed it in front of her eyes.

"Little Pigeon, A-Yuan promised that he would always stand by Little Pigeon's side. Although I don't know what's wrong with Little Pigeon, A-Yuan believes that Little Pigeon won't reject A-Yuan, right?"

As Ye Linyuan finished speaking, Luo Qingge's struggles vanished instantly, leaving only her usual docility and obedience.

She raised her head and stared intently at Ye Linyuan.

Will Ayuan and Little Pigeon always stand together?

Seeing that his words had worked, Ye Linyuan quickly pressed his advantage and continued speaking.

"Yes, of course it will. Every word A-Yuan says to Little Pigeon is true and will never change."

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's promise again, Luo Qingge nodded subconsciously, her eyes regaining their light, and murmured.

"Ah Yuan promised Little Pigeon that he would be with her forever. Little Pigeon believes in Ah Yuan, and Little Pigeon will always believe in Ah Yuan."
