I didnt intentionally eavesdrop, Ye Lengan shrugged and explained. The truth is, you guys were just too loud. If you dont want your arguments to be overheard, its better to find a more secluded place.

This was a school campus, bustling with people. Even if it wasnt her, it could have been someone else, Besides, she didnt feel the need to apologize.

Im not trying to blame you. Li Deze, with a bitter smile, suddenly asked, Ye

Lengan, do you also think Im a fool? All this time, Ive been played by Ye

Xiyuan.

Youre not the first, and you wont be the last, Ye Lengan replied, offering no consolation. However, I do think your intelligence might be lacking a bit; otherwise, you wouldnt have fallen for Ye Xiyuans clumsy schemes.

In reality, Ye Xiyuans methods werent particularly sophisticated. It was just that when people looked at her, they seemed to have a built-in filter, thinking she was inherently kind, and any wrongdoing was imposed on her by others. After hearing Ye Lengans words, Li Dezes smile turned even more bitter. Looking at the transformed Ye Lengan standing before him, he couldnt help but be bewildered.

He couldnt remember the last time he had truly looked at Ye Lenzan. Now, as he examined her once again, he realized the person in front of him seemed entirely different from the Ye Lengan he remembered.

Undeniably beautiful, Ye Lengan of the past had a touch of wilfulness. Regardless of her beauty, she was like a delicate doll in a showcase.

Present-day Ye Lengan, however, was a complete departure. Radiant and sharp, the first thing noticeable about her was not her beauty but her dynamic temperament, with her beauty noted subsequently.

You As if unsure of recognizing the Ye Lengan he grew up with, Li Dezes shock was evident. Seems like quite a change.

If it werent for that familiar face, he might not even dare admit that this TWas the Ye Lengan he knew.

Everyone changes, Ye Lengan responded, her expression unchanged. Weve all just grown up.

Thats right! Everyone has changed, Li Deze mumbled, looking somewhat absent-minded. Nevertheless, he raised his head, gazing at Ye Lengan, and said solemnly, Ye Lengan, I owe you an apology. Im sorry.

After discovering Ye Xiyuans true nature today, he realized he had misunderstood Ye Lengan all along. So, regardless, he should apologize to Ye

Lengan.

Ive received your apology. Ye Lengan nodded, then added, If theres nothing else, Ill be leaving. I still have to get back to cla.s.s!

Li Dezes apology didnt elicit any emotion from her. In fact, she no longer harbored any feelings for Li Deze. The current Li Deze was nothing more than a stranger to her. Thus, she didnt care whether he apologized or not.

Observing Ye Lengans impa.s.sive expression, Li Deze couldnt help but ask, Ye Lengan, are you

Ye Lengan looked at him, waiting for him to finish.

Under Ye Lengans scrutinizing gaze, Li Deze s words were stuck in his throat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt utter them.

In the end, he could only shake his head, managing a forced smile. Its alright now. Goodbye.

Ye Lengan nodded and left without hesitation, not sparing Li Deze a second glance.

Watching Ye Lengans departing figure, Li Deze, left behind, felt a wave of bitterness. He knew that the distance between him and Ye Lengan was growing. In the future, they might not have any interactions at all.

Reflecting on their past, where they grew up together, and the families even had the intention of marriage, everything seemed so distant now.. When did this change happen? It was after Ye Xiyuan returned to the Ye family!
