"You're Old Master's favorite. You keep a distance from everyone and don't offend anyone. No matter who inherits the Yuan family in the future, considering Old Master's face, they won't make things too difficult for you. So, don't come looking for me anymore. Don't cause trouble for yourself, and don't cause chaos for me. It's good for both of us."
"Do you understand?"
Yuan Xudong spoke these words genuinely considering Ye Xiaoxi's well-being.
The secret buried in his heart was a time bomb.
It could destroy him at any time.
He didn't want to implicate anyone.
Ye Xiaoxi understood what he meant, but she didn't want to make the relationship between people so utilitarian.
If she was really that calculative, Yining wouldn't have chosen to be friends with her back then.
Similarly, she wouldn't use such standards to treat the people around her.
