Upon hearing Yu Qiao Qiao's words, Chen Yan's heart truly surged as if a river were upended.
After all, if you were to speak of his biggest secret, aside from his "Virtual Girlfriend" game, it might have been the death of Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan's entrustment of his child had been the catalyst for the rapid advancement of Chen Yan and Zhao Ying's relationship.
It had caused Chen Yan to develop feelings for Zhao Ying beyond friendship.
However, precisely because of these feelings, Chen Yan had lost his calm and dared not tell Zhao Ying about Zhao Xuan's death.
He was especially afraid that this carefree, silly, and straightforward girl in front of him would become silent, sullen, and even... filled with hatred.
Therefore, he could only delay as much as possible, ensuring Zhao Ying had fun at school and at his and Yu Qiao Qiao's home, happy and carefree.
But he knew this was only a stopgap measure and that it would inevitably be exposed sooner or later.
