Chapter 12: The Woman Who Looks Down on People
Ye Fan looked at Ye Juanjuan, stunned, a figure welled up from the depths of his heart and overlapped with the person in front of him. From the name and outline, he already had a general judgment; the woman before him was his sister, the only daughter of his father's only brother.
Ye Juanjuan was also dumbfounded, looking at Ye Fan incredulously, as if her heartstrings were plucked, her emotions became unusually uncomfortable.
Ye Fan hadn't seen the cousin he used to play with since he was seven years old. He had disappeared from the world for seventeen years. Even though they hadn't seen each other all these years, some unchanged shadows led him to discover some clues.
He never expected to see his cousin again in the vast sea of people.
At this moment, Ye Fan and Ye Juanjuan were examining each other, and their emotions obviously changed. It was a complex feeling of wanting to cry but not knowing why, the longing and concern in their hearts had turned into a persistent attachment over the years. The dark connection rooted in blood, after suddenly meeting, was like seeing someone they had longed to meet but could never see.
"To the outside world, when my parents had their accident, I was already dead. I can't just suddenly appear in her world, much less reveal my identity. Let her think I am already dead; with time she will completely forget me. I don't want anyone to know the life I've lived, nor do I want to intrude into the life of the only relative I care about. It would be too unfair to her."
Ye Fan pondered, and after a brief consideration, he had made a decision.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Fan tried to make himself appear a bit more kind.
"Oh, nothing." Ye Juanjuan was startled back to her senses and apologized, "I lost my composure just now. I saw a family member's shadow in you."
