"I'll go have the servants prepare dinner, you two take your time chatting!"
Li Tianshen looked at his son with sympathy and also went downstairs.
In the corridor, only Li Hannian and Chu Nanxi were left.
"Xixi!" Li Hannian came over and held her arm, "Listen to me, I... I..."
Chu Nanxi lifted her face, her big eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him, "It was you, wasn't it?!"
With things having come this far, he could no longer hide it from her.
Li Hannian nodded, "It was me!"
Chu Nanxi held the photo, staring at the face of the man in front of her, her heart filled with confusion but even more with shock and excitement.
She had thought of many possibilities, but never this one.
The elder brother who saved her back then was actually Li Hannian.
No wonder he knew about her.
No wonder he didn't mind her carrying that silver coin.
...
"But..." she couldn't understand, "Why wouldn't you tell me?"
If he didn't tell her before, it was to avoid reopening her wounds.
