Chapter 6 Conversation on the Rooftop

Following Bai Yichen's footsteps, Xiao Ruoyi slowly disappeared from He Yuzhe's sight.

Even He Yuzhe did not notice that the moment he looked at their backs, his palm tightened.

Bai Muya who was standing by the side also clung to the edge of her skirt, and her eyes narrowed vigilantly. When she saw He Yuzhe's unusual gaze, an uneasy feeling rose in her heart.

"Brother Yuzhe, leave them alone. You haven't seen me for so long, yet you never call me when I was in the United States." Bai Muya returned to her original expression and the worries in her eyes quickly disappeared. She held He Yuzhe's arm with one hand and smiled sweetly.

He Yuzhe did not react. He just quietly watched where the two of them had disappeared.

Xiao Ruoyi's hand was tightly held and she walked through the long corridor. As Bai Yichen pushed the door open, a spacious roof appeared in front of them.

The fresh air instantly filled her nose. The comfortable atmosphere made Xiao Ruoyi shudder, and her eyes were filled with sunlight.

The image of He Yuzhe smiling at the girl was still replaying in her mind, hurting her. The bitterness in her heart suddenly gushed out and she lowered her eyes, trying her best to hold back the tears on her eyelashes.

She was really pathetic. She was still heartbroken by He Yuzhe's every move.

Could it be that she still wanted to have any lingering feelings for the man who had painstakingly planned her family's doom?

Xiao Ruoyi smiled bitterly.

"When I went abroad, I didn't know He Yuzhe would... He went too far. I will definitely ask for an explanation for the Xiao family." Bai Yichen's words were filled with care, and his palm gently covered Xiao Ruoyi's hair.

His heart ached, and when he knew this in the United States, he left everything behind and ran home, only to find out that his closest brother had done all these.

"Yichen, what did our Xiao family do wrong? Why did He Yuzhe do this?" Xiao Ruoyi looked up, her eyes glistening with tears in the sunlight.

The one who brought her happiness was the one who pushed her into the abyss behind her back.

"I... Don't worry, I will definitely give the Xiao family an explanation." Bai Yichen didn't know how to explain it. He didn't even know what was the purpose of He Yuzhe.

He could only feel the unusual feeling in He Yuzhe's eyes when he looked at Xiao Ruoyi.

Holding the fence on the balcony with one hand, his fingertips were slightly clasped.

"Yichen, I can't trouble you anymore. My father is dead. I have a responsibility to take care of the Xiao family myself." Xiao Ruoyi looked at Bai Yichen. She knew the relationship between the Bai family and Xiao family, and she knew what would happen if she let Bai Yichen get involved.

Bai Yichen had no responsibility for Xiao family. He had helped her too much and she could not get him involved again.

Xiao Ruoyi secretly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her palm and slowly stood up to tidy up her clothes. She looked at the blinding sunlight.

"Ruoyi, everything will be fine. Don't worry. As for uncle Xiao, I'll handle it." Bai Yichen did not know what else he could comfort Xiao Ruoyi, so he could only make a small promise to comfort her.

Hearing her father's name, Xiao Ruoyi lowered her eyes. He Yuzhe's sarcastic words echoed in her ears.

Her father didn't deserve a funeral?

As she thought about it, her fingers tapped on the corner of her clothes again.

"I will definitely bury my father. No matter what the price is, I will do it even if He Yuzhe tries to stop me." There was a hint of determination and affirmation in her calm tone.

Looking at Xiao Ruoyi's expression, Bai Yichen's heart tightened. He slowly raised his hand to touch her hair and pulled her into his embrace. His eyes were filled with heartache.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at the floor of the rooftop. Her heart was filled with the images of the past. Her tears had already dried up. Even though she was still sad, her eyes were no longer moist.

She knew that she had to live a good life. Only in this way could she make her father rest in peace in heaven.

"Brother Yuzhe?" On the corridor, Bai Muya was talking about what she had seen in America, but she noticed that He Yuzhe beside her had no response. She followed his burning gaze and saw the two figures hugging each other on the rooftop.

Her expression turned cold in an instant, and she tightened her grip on He Yuzhe's arm. "Brother Yuzhe, let's go. I am hungry."

Then, He Yuzhe looked away, but the coldness in his eyes had not dissipated. There seemed to be some coldness around him. He stepped away and left.

After a long time, Xiao Ruoyi calmed down and walked back to He Yuzhe's office alone. She knew that she had to face some things by herself.

The door of the office was slightly open, and Xiao Ruoyi slowly walked in. The sound of footsteps was so obvious under the silence. The door was opened, and she ran into Bai Muya with a smile on her face.

However, the moment she saw her, Bai's smile disappeared from her face. As the door closed, her face immediately changed. "Why did you come to Yuzhe's office? Could it be that you still have feelings for him?"

Bai Muya sneered, and the mockery in her tone was even more obvious.

Xiao Ruoyi looked at the woman in front of her and said nothing. Her eyes were calm and she took a step forward. when she was about to touch the door handle, she was suddenly interrupted.

"You know who Yuzhe loves. Don't overestimate yourself. He only approached you in order to bring down the Xiao family." The calmness in Xiao Ruoyi's eyes stirred Bai Muya's heart, and Xiao Ruoyi's disdainful look made her feel even angrier.

The hand holding the door handle tightened and paused for a few seconds before Xiao opened the door and walked in slowly, ignoring the figure behind her.

It turned out that He Yuzhe's taste was just like that. Bai Muya's quiet and elegant characteristics would make her jealous, but her true nature was also really pathetic.

The office was silent, and the voice was clear as He Yuzhe flipped through the documents. Under the sunlight, He Yuzhe slightly lowered his head and focused on the documents in his hands. The light was scattered on his black hair, and his chiseled face was so eyecatching.

However, Xiao Ruoyi would no longer say something like "You are like the sun" to him.

Her sun no longer existed. No, it should have never existed from the beginning. It was just her wishful thinking.

"Bai Yichen left?" He Yuzhe obviously noticed Xiao Ruoyi's arrival and slightly raised his eyes to look in Xiao Ruoyi's direction, but there seemed to be a hint of impatience in his tone.

Xiao Ruoyi happened to meet his gaze. Her eyes flickered for a while, but in the end, she still held the corner of her shirt and nodded slowly. "I don't want Bai Yichen to be involved in our business."
