Chapter 544: Chapter 0544: What’s It All Really For?
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with regret.
Was he not just looking for trouble where there was none?
Even if Su Guyan knew, when she asked him, couldn’t he have just brushed it off casually?
But the words were already out, and it was impossible to take them back; he could only wait for Su Guyan’s response.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with indescribable unease, his head bowed, but the corner of his eyes was watching Su Guyan!
Was Su Guyan not feeling the same unease within her heart as well?
Last night, when Mu Tiange called her, he told her that Ye Xunhuan was in her hands. Had Mu Tiange told Ye Xunhuan everything?
Did he know everything?
Was he now confronting her about it?
For a moment, Su Guyan was also overwhelmed by unprecedented nervousness, so much so that she didn’t know how to respond to Ye Xunhuan!
The atmosphere slowly drifted into an eerie silence at that moment.
After a long while, Su Guyan slowly began to speak, her voice filled with an uncontrollable tremor, "I... know!"
This time, she did not hide anything from Ye Xunhuan, but told him what she knew.
Upon hearing Su Guyan’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s face dramatically changed, his head bowed, totally unable to look at Su Guyan, not even daring to glance at her from the corners of his eyes.
He was like a defeated soldier, utterly spiritless.
"You..."
"You..."
Both spoke at the same time, but after uttering just one word, they fell silent again.
After a brief silence, Su Guyan was the first to speak again, "You... You were captured by Mu Tiange yesterday, weren’t you?"
At Su Guyan’s words, Ye Xunhuan was profoundly shaken!
She knew?
Had Mu Tiange told her?
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan panicked, truly panicked!
He knew denying it would be futile, so he could only muster his courage to nod and said, "Yes, he captured me!"
"Did you get hurt, is everything okay, did he torture you, did he..."
At this moment, Su Guyan’s voice became somewhat agitated, her words slightly incoherent.
But it was all deeply concerned.
After hearing Su Guyan’s intense concern and worry, Ye Xunhuan was taken aback.
She didn’t ask how Mu Tiange died?
Was her relationship with Mu Tiange really that bad?
Otherwise, how could she not ask about her husband?
But instead, she asked about her old love.
Could it really confirm that old saying, "A woman can’t forget her old love, a man can’t resist a new love!"
"I’m fine!" Ye Xunhuan slowly raised his head, looking at Su Guyan.
This time, he planned to confront Su Guyan, to look her directly in the eye, and to clear up her and Mu Tiange’s affairs.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan vaguely felt that Su Guyan was hiding something very important from him.
"He couldn’t hurt me!" Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and looked at Su Guyan, saying, "You only care about me, aren’t you curious how Mu Tiange died?"
At the moment Ye Xunhuan gazed directly at Su Guyan, an inexplicable panic surged within her heart, and after hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, her heart violently skipped a beat. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
"How... how did he die?"
"I killed him!" Ye Xunhuan declared, his words shockingly resolute.
Stunned by Ye Xunhuan’s statement, Su Guyan’s delicate body shook violently, her face filled with horror and confusion, as if she was looking at an alien.
He killed Mu Tiange?
Did that mean that the flesh on Mu Tiange’s body was cut off by him piece by piece, that he had Mu Tiange die a death by a thousand cuts?
For some reason, after hearing Ye Xunhuan say that he had killed Mu Tiange, she didn’t regard him as an executioner but instead felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if pierced by needles.
If he had used such cruel methods to kill Mu Tiange, his heart must have been in agony too, right?
After all, those brutal methods; she couldn’t bear to look at them even once. Not to mention her, even Ali, who lingered on the brink of death and crawled out from heaps of the dead, couldn’t accept it, let alone he, the creator of such methods!
At that moment, she wasn’t thinking about why Ye Xunhuan used such brutal methods to kill Mu Tiange, nor did she wonder how he could bring himself to do it. She only thought about what Ye Xunhuan was feeling at the time and what Mu Tiange must have done to him to drive him to such cruelty.
"You..."
"I’m not lying to you, I killed him," Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, looking at Su Guyan, "I killed him through dismemberment!"
"Do you hate me?"
Hearing this, Su Guyan almost instinctively shook her head.
"Do you want to take revenge for him?"
Su Guyan again shook her head instinctively.
Hate? Revenge?
How could that be possible? She had wanted Mu Tiange dead more than anyone else.
If it weren’t for Mu Tiange, she and Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t have ended up in their current situation; they might have already entered matrimony and even had children together!
But all that had been ruined by Mu Tiange, and she had even married Mu Tiange, betraying Ye Xunhuan.
At least nominally betraying Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Su Guyan continuously shaking her head, Ye Xunhuan felt his suspicions slowly rising to the surface, his guesses gradually being confirmed.
Driven by instinct, Ye Xunhuan reached out and grasped Su Guyan’s slender, pale hand.
This sudden change made Su Guyan tremble slightly: "Xunhuan, you..."
"Su Guyan, tell me honestly, why did you marry him?"
"Why did you choose to leave me?" Ye Xunhuan growled hoarsely.
For Ye Xunhuan, these two questions were most crucial at the moment; he wanted to immediately understand if they matched his guesses!
"I..."
"Don’t tell me it’s because he was rich, go fool someone else. I know you; you aren’t that kind of superficial woman. Moreover, our generation wasn’t as restless as now; not many women in our age knew how to marry for money..."
Ye Xunhuan was getting excited, his grip on Su Guyan’s hand growing tighter to the point that it brought pain to her, pain that even showed on her face without Ye Xunhuan noticing.
"Xunhuan, you’re hurting me!" Su Guyan tried to pull her hand away from Ye Xunhuan’s grip, but found it as immovable as if clamped in a vise.
And the more she struggled, the tighter Ye Xunhuan gripped!
"Tell me, why exactly, all these years I’ve never understood, why did you do that?" Ye Xunhuan roared as if he hadn’t heard Su Guyan’s words.
"Xunhuan, you’re hurting me, let go first..."
The commotion between Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan instantly drew the attention of the few patrons in the coffee shop.
Everyone stared at the two, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment!
