Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Honey, I Miss You~ Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Honey, I Miss You~ “Nothing to say now, huh?”

Chu Yan saw the woman before him fall silent, and his sneer grew even more pronounced.

However, after a long moment of rapid breathing, Yin Hehe shook her head.

“No, I just can’t figure it out. What exactly happened back then? If you didn’t die, then the person who did…”

“Xiahou Xiu!” To her surprise, this name floated effortlessly from his lips.

Yin Hehe’s eyes widened abruptly, and for a moment she found herself unable to utter a sound.

Xiahou Xiu?

Had his brother actually been there at that time?

“So, the things you just mentioned that you remembered, you actually got them wrong. The one who liked to break pen caps was Xiahou Xiu, and the one with the mole under the corner of the eye was also Xiahou Xiu.”

He reached out and tore off the mole that Yin Hehe had just corrected the position of on his face.

And placed it back in its original location.

“And this spot, now that is the real me!” He stood before Yin Hehe, speaking ominously as if he had crawled out of Hell itself.

A cold breath surged up Yin Hehe’s throat.

She was so shocked that she stumbled several steps backward.

So, the person who had been with her at school that year wasn’t Chu Yan, but Xiahou Xiu?

Yin Hehe’s mind exploded!

“No, you must be spouting nonsense. We’ve known each other since university, we were together for two years, how could you not be you?”

She was screaming out of control in the laboratory, as if she had seen a ghost.

Yet the response she received from him was only an indifferent expression.

“Yes, some of the time it was me who was with you, because my brother had to go back to the Xiaho Family to deal with things. Yin Hehe, I should actually thank you. It was your appearance that finally gave me the chance to return to the Xiaho Family!”

“What are you saying? Thank me?”

“Yes!” The man nodded.

“Our family has a history of hereditary heart disease. When my brother and I were born, I was the unfortunate one who inherited it. As a result, I was abandoned by the Xiahou Family and sent to live with my grandmother, even changing my surname to my mother’s surname!

Whereas my brother Xiahou Xiu, because he was born healthy, was raised as the Xiahou Family’s future successor from an early age. He lived a life of luxury, enjoying every day as if he were the son of heaven.”

At this point in his story, his eyes churned with powerful hatred once more.

Yin Hehe was dumbfounded as she listened.

So, he too had a heart disease.

“What happened afterward? How did he end up at your school?”

Yin Hehe asked.

No sooner had these words left her mouth than she heard a thick sneer cross the man’s lips.

“Because the son of heaven was tired of his privileged life, he wanted to experience the life of his poor brother. He escaped from the Xiahou family and came to my school.”

“…”

With just that sentence, Yin Hehe’s mind drifted far away.

She remembered, the “Chu Yan” of those days indeed seemed quite generous with money, while she often had no money for school due to her stepmother’s control over her family’s finances.

And “Chu Yan” would help her.

She also remembered that boy, who always had a bright smile, was not just willing to help others, but his gaze was also very clear and clean.

Like freshly white paper embracing society for the first time.

Yin Hehe’s fists clenched tighter and tighter.

“So you used me to keep him at school all this time.”

“Stop right there!” His response was an immediate rebuke.

“It wasn’t me using him. He really fell in love with you, Yin Hehe, do you know that? During the time he was about to have an accident, he even thought about permanently trading places with me, hahahaha…”

He burst into loud, hysterical laughter, as if mocking Xiahou Xiu for being so naive and so foolish!

Yin Hehe’s chest hurt so much that she couldn’t even catch her breath.

She had never imagined that the truth behind everything would turn out like this.

Xiahou Xiu!

So, it was this person who had been by her side all those years.

“So, was his car accident something you planned all by yourself?”

Yin Hehe forced herself to calm down and stared at this person with an icy gaze as she asked.

Chu Yan seemed to be struck by electricity in an instant.

“Are you sick? That was an accident, what does it have to do with me?”

“When he died, did your heart not finally have a place to go?” Yin Hehe immediately pointed out with fierce tone and expression.

“Besides, if your brother was the one who died that year, why are you still using his identity now? You said you’ve lived a life that was neither human nor ghost for a few years, so how exactly have you survived these years?”

Yin Hehe, true to being a lawyer, bombarded the man with one question after another as soon as she calmed down—like sharp arrows shot fiercely at him.

In a few short seconds, he was completely thrown into chaos.

“Back then, I was already impersonating him in the Xiahou family, and he died outside under the name Chu Yan. Do you expect me to drag him back?”

“…”

“I’m telling you, Yin Hehe, I didn’t do anything to betray my brother. If there was anything, it was letting Sheng Siyuan enjoy his heart and enjoy you!”

All of a sudden, he roared at Yin Hehe like a madman again. His bloodshot eyes filled with intense hatred seemed ready to tear Yin Hehe apart.

Yin Hehe trembled with anger.

“So, this is your reason for wanting to harm me?”

“Yes!”

He actually admitted it again without any hesitation.

“Because, you, and that heart, they both belonged to my brother. Starting now, I’m going to take everything back for him!”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly took a transparent syringe from the lab bench, shattered it, drew its contents into an injector, and then stepped toward Yin Hehe.

This madman!

Yin Hehe paled with shock and immediately tried to flee backward.

But this lunatic was so fast; she had only taken two steps when he was already behind her, grabbing the back of her collar and yanking her forcefully.

“Ah—”

Yin Hehe was dragged onto the lab bench, curling up in pain.

“Don’t worry, this drug won’t cause pain,” he continued. “It will just make you forget everything that happens afterward. Come to think of it, Yin Hehe, the person you originally met was actually me!”

He slowly moved the syringe in his hand closer to Yin Hehe’s arm, even bending down to gently stroke Yin Hehe’s face, his tone turning very tender.

“Get away from me! You beast!!”

Disgust surged from the pit of Yin Hehe’s stomach, making her struggle even more fiercely.

At the critical moment, something suddenly pierced through the window of the lab!

“Bang—”

The crisp sound of shattering glass.

Before Chu Yan could see clearly, a flying knife had already been stabbed ferociously and accurately into his palm.

“Ah!!” He finally screamed in agony, the syringe dropping to the ground.

Yin Hehe was still in shock.

It was then, a tall and imposing figure burst into the room through the door.

In that instant, as Yin Hehe lay on the lab bench and turned her head, two large teardrops rolled down her cheeks, her tears flowing into a river as the man rushed towards her.

“Husband…”
