Chapter 750: Pseudo-Truth 20
Feng Yan said earnestly, "Whatever you want, I can give it, as long as it’s within my capacity.""Psh! After all that talk, it turns out you’re trying to repay your wife’s debt. I don’t lack for anything, and besides, the one who wronged me isn’t you."
"Go tell Xia Chuxue that I don’t want to dwell on the past anymore. All she needs to do is be a decent person from now on."
Xia Yinian interrupted Feng Yan and raised her eyebrows.
The man whose speech was interrupted did not get angry. Looking at the girl on the bed, he even slightly curved his lips into a smile.
"If she does anything to you again in the future, you must tell me. I’m also your Third Brother."
Meeting his earnest gaze, Xia Yinian felt embarrassed to doubt him.
She bit her lips and gently nodded her head.
"Oh, got it."
Having received Xia Yinian’s response, Feng Yan nodded and turned to leave.
"Rest well. We can talk about everything else once you’ve recovered."
Xia Yinian watched Feng Yan’s retreating figure until he was out of sight before she looked away.
Did Third Young Master really mean she could consider him as her own brother?
Does that mean, starting from today, besides Grandpa, she now also has a brother?
The girl in the bed pursed her lips and closed her eyes.

After leaving the main house, Feng Yan personally escorted the Xia Family to a villa that had been arranged for them.
He didn’t say much before turning to leave.
Xia Chuxue hurriedly followed him.
Feng Yan was not unaware that there was someone behind him, but since she wasn’t speaking, he didn’t feel like acknowledging her.
It wasn’t until they both walked onto a secluded path and saw that there was no one around that Xia Chuxue softly called out, "Brother Yan, please wait a moment."
Feng Yan collected himself and stopped in his tracks.
Seeing the man stop, Xia Chuxue’s smile brightened.
She ran up to Feng Yan, and once she stood firm, she took several deep breaths.
"I’ve finally caught up with you."
Today, she purposely wore a dress that would reveal a "valley" under special circumstances. The sight was not visible to those who were shorter or at a distance from her.
But given Brother Yan’s height and their current proximity, coupled with her deep breathing that caused her chest to rise and fall, it would just so happen to flash into view.
After taking a couple more deep breaths, Xia Chuxue spoke softly, "Brother Yan, I actually came... to say thank you."
"Seventh Young Master hasn’t troubled me again. You must have helped me a lot."
"What happened... never mind, it’s all in the past now. In the future, when I chat with Nian Nian, we’ll avoid going to such dangerous places."
As she finished speaking, Xia Chuxue pressed her lips tightly together and looked up at the man in front of her, like a child who had done wrong and was ready to accept her punishment.
"You did do wrong, and it was a terrible mistake."
Suddenly, an indifferent voice fell over Xia Chuxue’s head.
Xia Chuxue’s eyes widened, and she bit her lip, unable to grasp Brother Yan’s words.
"Brother Yan, that was really an assassin. It wasn’t me who did it. Did Nian Nian tell you that I pushed her?"
"How could Nian Nian say such a thing? She knows it wasn’t me, I..."
"It wasn’t you who pushed Nian Nian, but when you saw Nian Nian struggling with the assassin, you didn’t ask or do anything about it, and hurriedly left."
"Doesn’t that indicate that you had ill intentions?" Feng Yan frowned slightly, looking at the person in front of him.
"You’re a member of the Feng Family, and I won’t ignore your safety,"
"But, I hope you won’t harbor any more ill will towards Nian Nian. I can protect you once, but not a second time."
