Flash Marriage and Mysterious Hubby

Chapter 486 Behind the Scenes



Huo Yaoting seemed to have expected this action from Ye Xi. Other than a frown on his forehead, his face did not have any other expression as he looked at Ye Xi deeply, "I\'m right here, for something ?"

Huo Yaoting did not finish his words, but Ye Xi understood.

Lowering his eyes, he nodded his head in depression. Then, Ye Xi took a deep breath and walked into the living room.

In the living room, other than a few servants that were cleaning, Lan Qian and Lan Shan were not there.

Ye Xi asked one of the servants about Lan Qian\'s whereabouts and was told that Lan Qian was on the second floor in Lan Shan\'s room.

Ye Xi stood in the living room for a moment, then slowly walked towards the second floor\'s spiral staircase.

Because his left leg was injured, and adding on to the fact that he had suffered injuries on the flight of stairs, Ye Xi walked very carefully, and it was also very difficult for him.

Huo Yaoting stood at the doorway and looked at Ye Xi with a solemn and cold expression.

He tried to take her in his arms, but in the end he did not.

Huo Yaoting laughed self-deprecatingly as he took out a cigarette case and a fire engine from his pocket. He then turned around and started smoking.

Ye Xi used nearly a quarter of an hour to climb up to the second floor. Holding the teak wood railing on the second floor with both hands, Ye Xi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The faint pain from her left foot made her forehead sweat profusely.

After a long while, Ye Xi finally opened his eyes again, he reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and looked at Lan Shan\'s room with a complicated gaze.

Ye Xi walked to Lan Shan\'s door, mustered up his courage and was about to knock, when the door opened from the inside.

Lan Qian\'s frail and emaciated body appeared in front of Ye Xi and the two of them were stu

ed at the same time.

Lan Qian looked at Ye Xi in disbelief, his muddy eyes flickered with complex emotions.

As for Ye Xi, she looked even thi

er and thi

er than before. It was as if she was struck hard on the heart, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe.

Just as Ye Xi shouted out a word, he raised his hand to stop her, and with a bit of haste, he walked out of his room and quickly closed the door.

He turned around and walked towards the study two rooms away.

Ye Xi\'s face paled. He thought it was because Lan Qian didn\'t like her and helplessly watched him leave.

Lan Qian walked to the entrance of the study, and upon sensing that Ye Xi did not follow, he hesitated and stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at her.

Seeing that, Ye Xi\'s eyes lit up, and looked at him with hope.

Seeing Ye Xi\'s pair of blue eyes, Lan Qian gulped down hard. He slowly raised his arm and beckoned to her.

Seeing his actions, Ye Xi almost cried on the spot.

Biting his lower lip, Ye Xi was afraid that he would regret it even more and quickly walked towards him.

However, the plaster cast on her left leg greatly hindered her movements. The faster she walked, the more her body swayed, as if she would fall to the ground at any moment.

Only then did Lan Qian notice Ye Xi\'s left leg. Both of his eyes became sore, and he immediately walked over to Ye Xi and held her arm with one hand.

Ye Xi\'s figure trembled as she looked at Lan Qian with teary eyes.

"Be careful of the child." Lan Qian\'s voice was hoarse as he looked down at Ye Xi\'s left leg with concern.

Ye Xi could no longer hold back her tears.

But she did not dare to cry. She bit her lips and nodded.

Lan Qian raised his head and looked at Ye Xi\'s side face which was covered in tears. His heart ached for Ye Xi so much that he held her hands tightly, and silently supported her back to the study room.

In the study room, Lan Qian supported Ye Xi and sat on the sofa.

Both of Ye Xi\'s hands were nervously resting on his legs, his fingertips holding onto the cloth on his legs, his entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

All of Lan Qian\'s will that supported him was probably used up after the incident with Lan Shan. At this moment, his face was filled with unconcealable exhaustion.

"..." "I\'m sorry." The silent Ye Xi suddenly said with a trembling voice.

Lan Qian was startled, and turned to look at Ye Xi.

Ye Xi raised his head, his fair and small face creased uncomfortably, a pair of crystal eyes were filled with self-blame and guilt, "I\'m sorry, Grandfather, I\'m really, really sorry."

"..." Foolish child, you did not let grandfather down, it was grandfather who let you down. " Lan Qian reached out and patted the back of Ye Xi\'s hand, trying to squeeze out a comforting smile from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Xi shook his head and tightly held onto Lan Qian\'s hand, "It\'s me, it\'s my fault. If it wasn\'t for me, he wouldn\'t have stood up against Lan Shan just because he wanted to help me vent my anger ? "Grandfather, everything was my fault, it was my fault ?"

Ye Xi could not hold back her sobs as tears welled up in her eyes. She forced herself not to let them fall.

She knew in her heart that if it wasn\'t for Lan Shan pushing her down the stairs, that person wouldn\'t have acted against Lan Shan.

However, she couldn\'t be moved in the slightest by his actions.

On the contrary, she only felt deep guilt towards Lan Shan and Lan Qian, as well as fear and disappointment towards him.

He ? Too ruthless!

Lan Shan was completely wrong, but she shouldn\'t have been punished so severely, it was too cruel!

Hearing Ye Xi\'s words, Lan Qian calmly stared at Ye Xi for a long time without uttering a word. The depth and obscurity in his eyes made Ye Xi feel uneasy.

She was afraid that he would not forgive her, and at the same time, she was afraid that she would lose him ?

She did not have many family members. From young, she only had her father and mother by her side. And now, Lan had left her, and Lan Shan had done it because of her ?

She really, really couldn\'t lose anything anymore.

Ye Xi suppressed the sobs in his throat, and suddenly got up and knelt in front of Lan Qian.

Lan Qian\'s heart skipped a beat, he had already reached out to grab her arm, "Xiao Xi, your leg ?"

Grandfather, I don\'t expect you to forgive me now, but will you give me a chance to atone for it?" Grandfather, my heart is really, really, really, really, really in pain ?

Ye Xi leaned on Lan Qian\'s knees, the guilt and remorse lingering in her heart almost enveloped her entire body. Other than it being so heavy, she did not know how to make herself feel better.

After all, Lan Shan\'s parents had died young because of her mother, and now, Lan Shan had also died young because of her ?

This sin, she really couldn\'t bear it!

"Oh Xiao Xi, you silly child, why are you so dumb!"

Lan Qian was crying profusely. This kind of Ye Xi made him think of the Lan who had begged for his forgiveness in front of him all those years ago.

Every time when he thought of those years when Lan Jue had been alone with his woman and had no one to rely on, it made his heart ache.

How could he bear to push away his biological granddaughter so mercilessly right now? Furthermore, between her and Lan Shan, she was the one who had been the total victim!

Lan Qian helped Ye Xi up and sat on the sofa, clenching her fists tightly, "Xiao Xi, if you want to say sorry, it was Shan Shan who let you down, it was Grandfather who let you down."

"Grandpa ?" Ye Xi stared at him nervously, afraid that he would say something that he didn\'t want to talk to.

"Xiao Xi, don\'t worry, just listen to grandfather\'s story." Lan Qian patted the back of Ye Xi\'s hand.

Ye Xi stared at him, like a small animal afraid of being abandoned.

Seeing her like this, Lan Qian\'s heart was filled with unhappiness. He said hoarsely, "Xiao Xi, Grandfather didn\'t know that Shan Shan was so prejudiced against you. It was Grandfather\'s fault that caused you to suffer so much because of Shan Shan."

"Grandfather." Ye Xi looked at Lan Qian blankly.

Lan Qian shook his head, "Xiao Xi, you don\'t need to hide this from me. Jian Jia and Qi Song told me everything Shan Shan did to you. "It\'s Shan Shan\'s fault, Shan Shan\'s sorry for you.

Ye Xi was confused. "Grandfather, last time, Lan Shan only accidentally pushed me down. I know it was not intentional, I ?"

"If Shan Shan is half as open-minded as you, and half as kind ?" Lan Qian rubbed his eyes and said painfully, "I really didn\'t expect her to be so heartless as to do such a thing to you. How could she treat your dead mother, and how could she treat her aunt who dotes on you? "It\'s all my fault. I couldn\'t teach her well enough. I\'ve let Lan Huan down, I\'m sorry ?"

"Grandfather, you, what are you talking about?" Ye Xi held Lan Qian\'s arms and looked at him in confusion.

Lan Qian was slightly taken aback as he looked at Ye Xi\'s confused face.

With a quick thought, Lan Qian came to a realization and felt like his heart was blocked by a boulder.

Looking at Ye Xi, Lan Qian\'s tone was dry. In his eyes, there was a deep pity for her, "Xiao Xi, what happened to you at KTV earlier, actually, was caused by Shan Shan ?"

What?

Ye Xi\'s back trembled and his pupils contracted fiercely. He stared at Lan Qian in disbelief, his pale lips trembling uncontrollably. "We-grandfather, w-what did you say?"

Lan Qian knew that he should perhaps continue to hide this from her.

But, if she was not told the truth, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Furthermore, it was Lan Shan\'s fault in the first place, and Ye Xi was also his flesh and blood. How could he bear to see her blaming herself so shamelessly?

"Xiao Xi ?"

"Why?" Xiao Xi\'s face was pale white, traces of blood slowly seeped out of her bright eyes as she stared at Lan Qian, "Why? Why did she do this to me? I didn\'t do anything wrong to her? "Why, why did she do this to me?"
