Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, then stared at Lu Miaochan's tear-streaked face and tentatively asked, "Miaochan, did you see everything today?"

"Yes, I saw it! And I saw it very clearly."

Lu Miaochan's face was expressionless, with a cold smile at the corner of her mouth: "What I should have seen, I saw. What I shouldn't have seen, I also saw! Do you have any explanation? Don't tell me it was just acting, do you think I would believe that?"

"Since you saw it, I have nothing to explain. I don't want to lie to you; those are all true." Ye Xuan shook his head and said with a serious expression.

"So, you don't need to explain?"

Lu Miaochan bit her lip, her voice icy: "Is that woman really very close to you? Or is it just as you called her, you've already married, and she's your wife?"

Ye Xuan no longer concealed the truth and nodded straightforwardly: "That's right! She is my wife, legitimately so. We got our marriage certificate a long time ago, and we'll be having the wedding soon."

Hearing this from Ye Xuan's own mouth, even though she was mentally prepared, Lu Miaochan couldn't help but tremble, the last bit of hope in her heart shattering!

She gave Ye Xuan a bitter smile, her body swaying as she stepped back two steps, tears cascading from her eyes: "Ye Xuan, you really hid it well! Someone told me today that you're with another woman, and I didn't believe it at all! I thought you could never betray me, that you loved only me for life. But I was really wrong about you, everything they said was true."

Her face full of self-mockery: "I think I'm the biggest fool in the world, completely tricked by you! Is there any woman in the world more foolish than me? Do you think I'm laughable?"

"Miaochan, how could you think that? How could I find you laughable? I know you might be having a hard time accepting this right now, which is why you're feeling like this! But please believe me, I've always been serious about you, I've never toyed with your feelings, and I'd never abandon you."

Ye Xuan said earnestly, "Back when I decided to be with you, I decided to spend my life with you. You are the most important, indispensable part of my life. Please believe that I would never betray you, I can swear it on my life!"

"Ye Xuan, how long will you keep lying to me? Doesn't it disgust you to say that?"

Lu Miaochan looked at him with a heartache, a face full of mockery: "You've already gotten married, you're a married man, and you still say you want to be with me? That you don't want to betray me? Is this how you promise me? Don't you feel hypocritical! Are you going to divorce her, or are you just using me as a mistress? Do you see me as such a lowly woman? Then why did you flirt with me before? Did you think I was easy to deceive!?"

Saying the last bit, Lu Miaochan almost shouted it out, emotions fully vented and uncontrollable.

Before Ye Xuan could speak, her tears flowed again, her face full of sorrow: "Ye Xuan, did you know? I always took you as my beloved man, the best gift from God! You were the prince charming in my dream, no one was better than you, and I would never find another like you. I once fantasized that we'd be like Snow White and Prince Charming in fairy tales, living happily ever after, getting married and having children, to grow old together."

"But I never even thought that you've been deceiving me all along! All of this was nothing but a dream, an illusion in the flowers of the mirror, and under the perfectly disguised mask was an ugly face that makes me feel disgusted."

"I used to think that you were flirtatious but not like those playboys who toy with women! Turns out, I just didn't see your true face. What cat doesn't steal other than those who don't? You men are all the same, already married, yet still looking for women outside."

"Ye Xuan, you really disappoint me. I will never believe in you again! I placed all my hopes in you, but all I got in return were lies and deceit, which is too cruel for me. I really don't know how to trust you again! Now you've made me so desperate..."

"Miaochan, how could you think that way? I admit I've kept some things from you, but those things are inconvenient to discuss now; still, I truly never lied to you, my feelings for you are real! Otherwise, why would I tell you the truth just now? Wouldn't it be better to keep deceiving you with lies?"

Ye Xuan said sincerely and earnestly, his feelings genuine.

"Enough, nothing you say will make me believe. I've already been deceived once by you, will I be deceived a second time?"

Lu Miaochan shook her head, saying mercilessly: "Don't hold onto any ideas about me anymore; I won't accept you again! I think it's time for us to end this relationship! I won't become someone else's mistress. From now on, we officially break up, with no more ties between us."

After saying this, Lu Miaochan turned around and ran into the courtyard, slamming the gate shut tightly, giving Ye Xuan no chance to explain.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Ye Xuan's face showed bitterness, and he sighed to himself. It seemed this girl was really angry this time, actually proposing to break up with him.

Now that things have come to this, avoiding it is useless; he must find a way to resolve it.

But how can he do it, to earn back Lu Miaochan's forgiveness?

Creaaaak!

Just when Ye Xuan was at a loss, the locked gate opened once again.

Ye Xuan thought it was Lu Miaochan returning but looked up to see Wu Xiangjun and Lu Zhengguo emerging.

Both of them looked displeased; they heard the conversation between Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan just now and hadn't expected Ye Xuan to betray their daughter!

This naturally made the older couple unhappy, even angry, with complicated emotions they couldn't put into words.

They had always seen Ye Xuan as a son-in-law, already part of the family, and Ye Xuan had greatly helped their family. He was their benefactor.

In the eyes of the older couple, Ye Xuan was flawless in every aspect, an excellent man, the perfect choice for a son-in-law! They had long hoped for Ye Xuan to marry Lu Miaochan, to hold their grandchild soon.

But now, their chosen future son-in-law turned out to have already married another woman, which was too outrageous to accept!

While feeling disappointed, they were also very angry, but they couldn't unleash their anger at Ye Xuan; after all, aside from being their son-in-law, he was their family's benefactor.

So, the feelings Wu Xiangjun and Lu Zhengguo had at this moment were indescribably complex, with a sense of loss.

They had thought their daughter found a reliable home, that the family would change because of Ye Xuan!

But all those hopes were overturned in an instant.
