As Li Yiran pondered, a sudden noise came from the balcony. She promptly rose and approached, opening the balcony door.

Li Yi entered from outside,

Li Yiran hastily closed the door and reproached, Didnt I say, if theres nothing urgent, dont come to me during this time? If someone sees you now, itll be impossible to clear my name.

She was aware of Li Yis feelings towards her. Although he was devoted, he wasnt among her preferred choices. Nevertheless, Li Yi remained her loyal follower.

In ordinary times, she treated Li Yi more amicably when he was useful. If there was no utility, she avoided even glancing at him.

She wasnt concerned about Li Yi leaving her; she knew she was the unattainable in his eyes, an irreplaceable presence.

Upon hearing Li Yirans words, a bitter smile appeared on Li Yi t s face.

However, he quickly composed himself and looked at her, saying, l came here today because theres something very important I need to tell you.

He didnt understand why he persisted in being devoted to Li Yiran. Despite knowing she was using him, he couldnt let go.

Furthermore, because of Li Yiran, he had virtually lost any standing within the Huangfu family. Once the leader of the Li generation, he was now completely replaced by Li San. What unsettled him most was his inability to access the Hidden World.

Being barred from the Hidden World meant losing his place there in the future. His masters actions unmistakably declared his abandonment. Henceforth, he would be nothing more than a common servant of the Huangfu family in the mortal world.

He understood that everything that happened was because he persistently placed his heart on Li Yiran, leading to his masters decision to let him go.

However, even now, he couldnt resent Li Yiran. He accepted it willingly. Moreover, even at this moment, he couldnt let go of Li Yiran.

Li Yirans expression didnt improve upon hearing Li Yis words. She maintained impatience, Whats so important that you come at this unG.o.dly hour? Couldnt you just call and tell me?

Now residing in the Huangfu familys old mansion, secrecy was crucial.

Miss Yiran. Young Master Ruixiang has returned from the Hidden World. Ll

Yi said, looking at her. He came back a few days ago.

What? Li Yiran immediately retorted, Thats impossible.

For many days, Huangfu Ruixiang hadnt visited her once. Although she was officially resting in the mansion, she couldnt leave, unaware of external events.

Its true, Li Yi a.s.serted. Moreover, this time, Young Master Ruixiang didnt return alone. He brought back a girl who is now staying in a hotel under Huangye Group.

Upon hearing this, Li Yiran felt a tremendous shock. Her color faded, and her lips trembled. She almost collapsed, her voice sounding as if forced out. Impossible.

Concerned, Li Yi hurriedly approached, holding her hand. Miss Yiran, take a deep breath and calm down.

He antic.i.p.ated such a reaction when revealing the truth. Nevertheless, it had to be said, considering the child in her belly belonged to Huangfu Ruixiang, who had brought a woman back now.

Li Yiran grabbed Li Yis arm, her sharp nails sinking into his flesh. Trembling, she asked, Is what you said true?

Though tempted to deny it, Li Yi nodded. Its true. Moreover, that girl claims to be Young Master Ruixiangs fiance. He didnt deny it.

Li Yirans face grew even paler, and she struggled to stand. If not for Li Yis support, she might have fallen.

Miss Yiran, calm down, Li Yi urged. Remember, you are still pregnant. You mustnt get too agitated.

A dull pain emanated from her belly. Li Yiran couldnt help but cover it. After a deep breath, she managed to compose herself.

Li Yi a.s.sisted her to sit on the sofa, keeping a vigilant eye on her. Once she calmed down, the stomach pain subsided.

Seeing her complexion improve slightly, Li Yi sighed in relief. He asked, Miss

Yiran, how do you feel now? Are you okay?

Im fine now. She forced a smile. Observing Li Yis injured hand, guilt crossed her face. Brother Li Yi, is your hand okay? Its my fault!

Seeing her concern, a touch of tenderness appeared on Li Yis face. He shook his head. Just superficial wounds. Theyll heal soon.

Li Yiran nodded and looked embarra.s.sed. She implored, Brother Li Yi, can you help me with something? Can you find out who the woman Ruixiang brought back is?

Under her pleading gaze, Li Yi finally nodded..
