Chapter 1669: Chapter 1669: Won’t Let Myself Get Involved
Facing Ye Mingmei’s surprised gaze, his mouth curved into a bitter smile.
“If I had known from the first glance that she was my sister, I think I would have cherished her, but I would never have let myself fall so deeply.” Even now, unable to extricate myself.
Jin Chenye’s voice was very pleasant, listening to his recollections felt like hearing a midnight emotional story on the radio.
He spoke few words, didn’t purposely explain anything, just briefly mentioned their past.
A few simple words, yet they conveyed a deep sense of helplessness.
From knowing nothing at first, to later discovering they were siblings and breaking apart.
In the end, realizing it was fate playing tricks on them, and they had no real connection at all.
Unfortunately, by the time he realized his mistake, she had already married another…
It was too late for regrets.
“So your protection of Qin Youxuan now is because…” Ye Mingmei bit her lip, unsure how to start.
“I just want to make sure she is happy, and won’t destroy her happiness.” Jin Chenye explained simply.
The warm eyes shimmered with a hint of sheen.
“She is very happy.”
With someone as domineering and forceful as Dan Hanjie, yet having only her in his heart, Qin Youxuan was already showered with endless love.
And with someone as gentle as Jin Chenye silently protecting her behind the scenes.
Who wouldn’t find it hard to be happy with that?
“Actually, you should learn to let go and start anew.” Ye Mingmei hesitated for a moment, recalling what she heard Su Yiru mention that day, and felt a pang in her heart.
She turned and looked at Jin Chenye.
“If she knew about this, it wouldn’t bring her peace, especially since she is doing well now, you should also think about yourself, you can’t stay single forever.”
“There’s nothing that can’t be done.” Jin Chenye responded lightly, smiling calmly.
“Do you really plan to guard her for a lifetime?” Ye Mingmei was startled, her eyes involuntarily widened.
Her small hand clutched the seatbelt, not even realizing her grip was so tight that her knuckles turned white.
“A lifetime is too long, don’t overthink it, focus on the present and do what you want.” Jin Chenye’s deep voice was as melodious as a cello, “What I’m doing now is what I want most.”
“…”
Ye Mingmei was slightly shaken, feeling an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
After a long pause, she finally nodded, “I understand, I won’t spread what was said today.”
“Thank you.”
Jin Chenye softly expressed his gratitude, then started the car to leave.
On the way, the two chatted lightly, neither mentioning the awkward scene at the party earlier.
“You did very well today, even I was a bit surprised by how courageously you protected me, thinking about it, it’s really eye-opening.” Jin Chenye shook his head gently, teasingly.
At that moment, when Ye Mingmei rushed to his side, there was indeed an indescribable aura of determination about her.
A daughter from the Ye Family, even if just an adopted one, should be proud.
She cared too much about others’ opinions, which made her timid.
“I was too angry at that time.” Ye Mingmei lowered her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Now, if she tried to imagine it again, she wouldn’t have the courage.
“Even if not angry, you should be so brave.” The car stopped outside the Ye Family’s gate.
Jin Chenye opened the car door and got out, walking to her side to open the door for Ye Mingmei.
As she got out, he grasped her shoulders with both hands.
