"Xingye, didn't I tell you not to be with him? Why are you so disobedient and still with him?!"
At these words, the faces of Chi Xingye and Helian Chengyan both froze.
They looked at each other, their eyes expressive as they turned to Chi Yu.
"Mom... that is, I..."
Chi Xingye now knew that the reason why Chi Yu initially objected to their relationship was because she thought Xingye and Helian Chengyan were blood relatives. Probably, this notion still persisted in her mind.
"Xingye, are you two together?!" Chi Yu grabbed Chi Xingye's hand, trembling with intense emotion. "Tell me, how far have things progressed between you two now?!"
"Mom, don't get excited, let me explain, Chengyan and I, we..." Chi Xingye was at a loss for words in her haste.
If she were to say that she wasn't involved with Helian Chengyan at all, and that they were completely unrelated, not only would Helian Chengyan be upset, but the Elder Queen would be too.
