CHAPTER 267: CHAPTER 281: SHAOYU’S PAST

"Not in America??? So where are you? He takes you and Jingxi on a trip every year for so long, such a tycoon! If I remember correctly, it can still snow in America even in April."

Ye Xinluo smiled as she heard this, "You’re thinking too much. The reason we aren’t in America every winter is because a few years back, Shaoyu was in a car accident; his leg was injured and can’t take the cold. So, before it snows each year, we leave America."

Hearing this, Lan Shan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Gong Shaoyu to have such an experience, "So, that’s why you haven’t seen snow?"

"Yes, we leave before it snows and only return when it’s warmer the following year. So tell me, when do I have the chance to see snow?"

"But it’s also really cold in Z City. How does he come here? Is his leg okay?" Lan Shan suddenly asked.

Ye Xinluo: "After a few years of care, he’s fine now."

"Xinluo, do you know why he got injured?"

"I don’t know. He never talked about it, but I heard Housekeeper Ning say that Young Master Gong had a nice personality before, but after that car accident, he became very withdrawn..."

"Withdrawn personality..."

Suddenly, Lan Shan thought of something and asked, "Where were you when you gave birth to Jingxi?"

"America!" Ye Xinluo replied as if it was nothing.

"Was Brother Gong there when you had Jingxi?"

"Yes." Ye Xinluo nodded.

"Hey, wait, didn’t you say he had a leg issue? When you gave birth to Jingxi, it should have been winter, right? How come he was still in America?"

Hearing this, Ye Xinluo lowered her head, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Lan Shan could already guess something must have happened in between.

She didn’t speak but waited quietly for her to continue. After about half a minute, Ye Xinluo raised her head and said.

"When I had Jingxi, we were in America that year. Shaoyu didn’t leave but stayed with me."

"And then?" Lan Shan asked with a frown. "Then his leg issue acted up, right?" Lan Shan guessed boldly. Hearing this, Ye Xinluo nodded slightly.

If it weren’t for Jingxi’s birth and the situation with Mrs. Ye, maybe his leg wouldn’t have flared up!

This matter has always been a knot in Ye Xinluo’s heart; she feels very sorry for Gong Shaoyu.

"I didn’t know he couldn’t take the cold at that time. I was still immersed in the pain of losing Mrs. Ye. When his leg issue suddenly acted up, it nearly scared me to death."

"When his leg acted up, he needed to recover, right? Since you were in America, and you say you haven’t seen snow, are you kidding me!"

"He was bedridden for three months before his body gradually got better. At that time, I had to take care of Jingxi, catch up on fallen studies, and also find time to look after Shaoyu. I was so busy, how could I find the mood to see snow!"

"That period almost crushed me. It wasn’t until later that I found out Shaoyu had leg issues and couldn’t take the cold, so the next winter, we left America early."

After hearing her words, Lan Shan also fell into silence, not expecting Gong Shaoyu to have gone through so much at such a young age.

She patted Ye Xinluo’s shoulder and smiled, "I believe he will meet someone he loves and who loves him."

Ye Xinluo smiled, "Maybe!"

"What do you mean, ’maybe!’ It’s bound to happen, the timing just wasn’t right yet."
