Chapter 1664: Tang Yin’s Secret Identity V

No, he had to face her after all.

After staying silent for a moment, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Initially, he had a lot of things to say, but… After he saw Xiao Ya’s slightly pale face under the sunlight, all his words suddenly disappeared, and all that remained was heartache.

“Ya’er, I’m sorry about last night…”

Xiao Ya turned her head. Her eyes were clear.

Duan Qiong paused and gritted his teeth. “One of the rooms in Duan Manor caught fire yesterday, and I went to deal with it. That’s why I didn’t come to you.”

He could not let Xiao Ya know that he had gone to another woman’s room. If she knew, she would definitely leave him after she had recovered.

Xiao Ya looked at Duan Qiong.

‘He has lied again and again! It’s the third time already!’

Xiao Ya smirked and pointed at the paper and pencil on the table.

She could not stand up, so she could only ask Duan Qiong to help her.

Duan Qiong never thought that Xiao Ya would let him help. He felt somewhat flattered and ran over to take the paper and pencil and handed it to her. “Ya’er, here you go.”

Xiao Ya took the paper and pencil and wrote something. “Last night, Second Lady… Oh, no… Your Lady Tian sent a servant to tell me that you went to her room, and my name is not Ya’er. Call me Xiao Ya.”

Duan Qiong suddenly stiffened; the humiliation of the lie that had been exposed made it somewhat difficult for him to face Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya looked coldly at Duan Qiong’s shocked face.

She would never let them bully her again. The Ninth Emperor had taught her back then that she had to make the one who upset her suffer pain!

“Ya’er…” Duan Qiong was panicked. “Listen to me…My father forced me to do this. He threatened me with your life! I didn’t mean to deceive you. I was afraid you’d be sad…”

Xiao Ya glanced at him coldly.

Duan Qiong went silent, and only after a moment did he continue to defend himself. “Ya’er, I’m sorry, I… I just want to get the antidote for you. Don’t worry, when you’ve recovered, I’ll take you away from the Duan family, and we’ll run away from here. Can you please give me a little more time?”

Xiao Ya lowered her head, sneered.

He said it was for her that he had gone to another woman’s room…

However, he had forgotten the person who had deceived her, made her drink the poison and ended up like this.

“Ya’er, can you wait for me for a while? We’ll go far away from this place!” Duan Qiong reached out and held Xiao Ya’s hand with grief in his eyes.

Xiao Ya smiled.

If he followed her when Duan Yue tried to stop him from marrying her back then, perhaps both would not suffer like today…

In the end, she was the one who had to stay in the Duan family for him, and… She had to endure all the humiliations from his family.

Just because she thought he could make her happy…

If… He had not slept with another woman, she would not have to leave this place and suffer countless nightmares for the whole of her life.

Seeing that Ya’er did not reply to him, Duan Qiong was even more panicked and said, “I promise this is the last time… I will never go to her room again.”

Ya’er smiled coldly.

He made the same promise as back then… But then, came another child…

“Ya’er…”

“I’m tired.” Xiao Ya wrote those words quietly on the paper. She then closed her eyes, not wanting to pay him any more attention.

‘When will she come…’

Xiao Ya was so eager to get out of this place.

She did not want to… Stay here anymore…
