Before Ye Shengge could react, Ji Shiting answered for her, âShengge doesnât know anything.â
Qiao Yanze looked at him coldly. âDo you know what I want to ask?â
âDeal with the matter between you and Li Yinian yourself.â Ji Shiting said bluntly. âDonât implicate others.â
Qiao Yanze was so angry that he laughed. âI know you value love over friends, but I didnât expect it to be such an extent.â
Ye Shengge had to cough lightly to interrupt their confrontation.
âItâs true that I donât know anything. You know Nian. If she really has something to hide, she wonât tell anyone.â
Qiao Yanzeâs gaze darkened and his tone became more oppressive. âReally?â
âReally.â Of course, Ye Shengge wouldnât betray Li Yinian. âAre you still unwilling to give up?â
âGive up?â Qiao Yanze laughed, his lips curling into a fierce smile. âShe treats me like a fool, and you think Iâm easy to fool? If you really donât know anything, why are you on her side without hesitation?â
âYanze!â Ji Shiting couldnât stand him talking to Ye Shengge with such an attitude, and his tone was filled with displeasure.
Qiao Yanze humphed coldly, still staring at Ye Shengge.
âSit down first,â Ye Shengge said calmly.

The three of them sat down on the sofa and Sister Xiu brought them hot drinks and snacks.
Qiao Yanze didnât sleep much last night. He came over without even drinking a mouthful of water after waking up, so he picked up the hot water and drank it in one gulp. After a while, he put down the cup heavily, his face still sullen.
Seeing this, Ye Shenggeâs heart softened and she subconsciously looked at the man beside her.
Ji Shiting held her hand, signaling her not to waver.
Ye Shengge said, âYinian never told me anything. I think itâs not that she doesnât trust me, but she doesnât want me to be in a difficult position. As for why Iâm on her side⦠Because weâre friends, I have to respect her wishes.â
Although she and Qiao Yanze could be considered friends, there was still a distance between friends. She did not want Qiao Yanze to suffer because of this, but if she had to choose, she could only choose to support Li Yinian.
Qiao Yanze chuckled and said coldly, âIn that case, you donât know about that child either?â
âSo you already know?â Ye Shengge blurted out in shock.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she knew that something was wrong.
Qiao Yanzeâs eyes turned colder. âObviously, you know too.â
Even Ji Shiting raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at her.
âUhâ¦â Ye Shengge had an idea. âYinian didnât tell me. I guessed it myself. Iâm a woman after all. Iâm definitely sharper than you in this aspect.â
Qiao Yanze closed his eyes. Two seconds later, he opened them and looked at Ye Shengge with his slightly red eyes. He said hoarsely, âItâs fine if my mother canât tolerate her and that child, but I canât understand why sheâs so obedient and remains at my motherâs mercy. She refused to ask me for help beforehand and kept her mouth shut after that. If I hadnât accidentally discovered it, Iâm afraid I would still be in the dark⦠Since youâre a woman, perhaps you can analyze her mentality for me?â
