Chapter 1994 - 168: Flaws
Then, a young girl in purple clothes and a young man in green attire came walking side by side...
Upon arriving at the inn, with her feet touching the ground, Dong Huiying turned her head to look at Yixuan. Immediately, her eyes twitched, and she gave a dry laugh, saying, "I miss Wangwang and Little Star. I’m here to see the children."
With that, she took a quick stride toward Qin Chun, warmly linking arms with Qin Chun, pulling her along as they walked towards the house.
Qin Chun was momentarily stunned. Then, she glanced back at Yixuan’s direction, as if she understood, so she meekly complied, letting Dong Huiying guide her forward.
Dong Huiying’s intentions were well-meaning; the matters to be discussed were best left to Yixuan to address.
Discussing things privately with fewer people also eased the atmosphere, sparing Old Lady Qin from embarrassment.
In short, Dong Huiying was considered and thorough.
...
Yixuan gazed at Dong Huiying’s back, her slender figure filling him with emotion.
He knew that Dong Huiying did all this for his sake. It was because of him that she considered Old Lady Qin’s dignity; otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.
Old Lady Qin glanced at Dong Huiying, who was pulling Qin Chun toward a door.
Old Lady Qin then turned her gaze to Yixuan.
"Why are you two youngsters not asleep in the middle of the night? Instead, you’ve come to this old woman?"
Old Lady Qin’s expression was very kindly, and she gestured to Yixuan, as if indicating him to come closer, closer still, sit down, sit next to me.
Yixuan followed suit.
After sitting down, he rested his arm on the stone table.
"The reason I came tonight is actually because..." It seemed difficult for him to speak; Yixuan hesitated.
Old Lady Qin saw Yixuan’s expression and pondered for a moment before sighing.
"Is something wrong, and does it involve me?"
Yixuan gently pursed his lips.
Seeing Yixuan’s expression, Old Lady Qin knew she had guessed correctly.
"Xuanxuan, do you know? You have a certain flaw."
Yixuan was momentarily stunned, "A flaw? What flaw?"
He carefully introspected but did not find anything inappropriate about himself, so where did this flaw that Old Lady Qin spoke of come from?
Old Lady Qin laughed, "This is what you call the onlooker sees clearly, living inside the event makes you muddle-headed. As the person involved, you don’t see it, you’re in a blind spot, so you overlook and miss it. But we can see it clearly."
"For example... no matter who you interact with, you’re always smiling, and you seem to have a good temper. Even if someone angers you, you manage to keep your composure. But only when it comes to family matters do you become like this."
"Unable to speak? Or could it be... not knowing how to speak, afraid the words you say will hurt those you care about..."
Yixuan remained silent.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond to these words.
Old Lady Qin thought for a moment, then spoke up.
"Actually, even if you don’t say it, I can guess why you’ve come. It’s just those things. Considering the past incident where someone poisoned me, affecting my great-grandson Wu Wang and Little Star as well, eliminating some unreasonable possibilities, there’s only one conclusion."
Old Lady Qin understood everything clearly.
