Billionaire's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 2457: Chapter 598: Adoption

The evening gathering is in the backyard, whereas the front yard is very quiet.

Xiao Bai also comes out of his little nest, slowly making his way to Yinxing’s side.

Yinxing sits on a wooden chair, casually picks up a comb, and starts brushing Xiao Bai’s fur.

Wen Quan stands nearby and speaks up, "You seem different today than before?"

Yinxing doesn’t even lift her head, her mouth curling slightly, "What’s different?"

"You seem troubled, there must be something weighing on your mind."

Yinxing is somewhat surprised, that Wen Quan saw through her at a glance.

Yinxing raises her head to look at Wen Quan.

Wen Quan also smiles, "Come on, we’ve been playing together since we were little... childhood friends... best pals, how could I not notice something like this?"

Yinxing lowers her head, continuing to brush Xiao Bai’s fur, "There are some troubling things, but I’ll handle them myself."

Yinxing doesn’t intend to say much more.

In fact, she does want to find someone to share her burdens with. freёwebnoѵel.com

If it were before, Wen Quan would definitely be the best choice.

But now, she can’t tell anyone.

Wen Quan suddenly asks, "Did Xia Ye bully you?"

Upon hearing Xia Ye’s name, Yinxing’s heart skips a beat.

Why would Wen Quan ask such a thing?

Yinxing responds, "How could he ever bully me, it’s always me bullying him, when did it become his turn to bully me."

For some reason, Yinxing feels like she’s overdoing her cover-up.

It seems like Wen Quan’s words contain some hidden meaning.

Wen Quan remains silent for a while.

Then suddenly says, "I know you and Xia Ye are dating."

That single sentence is like a bomb thrown into Yinxing’s mind.

It explodes with a bang.

And then smoke billows everywhere, leaving chaos in its wake.

Yinxing thinks she must have misheard.

At that moment, her first reaction isn’t denial, but reflexively asking, "How did you know, when did you find out?"

Wen Quan squats down too.

He strokes Xiao Bai’s fur and smirks self-deprecatingly, "You don’t need to ask how I know, but I can tell you, I’ve known for a long time. I couldn’t handle knowing the one I love most and my best friend were together, so I left, because I knew I couldn’t win against your brother."

Wen Quan seems very crestfallen, "It’s quite ridiculous, isn’t it? Since childhood, no matter what, I’ve never won against him."

Yinxing is still extremely shocked, unable to process it for a while.

Wen Quan continues, "But over this past half year, I’ve come to terms with it. Deep down, I knew all along that I was fooling myself. You’ve never said you liked me, your feelings towards me have always been like that towards an older brother. I was the one who was unwilling to let go, but when I left, I was already choosing to withdraw because I knew if I persisted, I would hurt both of you."

Yinxing finally starts to calm down bit by bit.

Yinxing says, "I really had no idea that you actually knew everything."

Yinxing continues, "Don’t you despise me? Don’t you reject me? I actually fell in love with my own brother."

Wen Quan says, "So what, Xia Ye and you don’t have any blood relation. I’ve always known you were adopted."

Wen Quan naturally knows everything, but from childhood to now, they have never brought up this topic.
