155: Chapter 155 Wife and Daughter Gone
After a bout of crying, Ye Yun quickly calmed down and fixed his gaze on the mother and daughter, Su Mingyue and Ye Xiaoling, saying with a choked voice:
"Xiao Ling, all of this is Daddy's fault."
"For all these years that Daddy has been drifting abroad, not returning to the Dragon Kingdom, and not coming back to your side, it has all been Daddy's mistake."
"But Daddy had his reasons. You must believe that Daddy has been thinking of you every single moment, wanting to see you. Daddy had no choice."
"Daddy has returned now just to take you abroad and give you a happy and fulfilling life."
"For the rest of my life, I will never leave you again. I will use the rest of my days to make up for Daddy's mistakes."
As he spoke these words, Ye Yun looked at Ye Xiaoling with eyes full of pleading.
At this moment, his status, his position, his dignity as the Hades King, his pride as a War God—all of it was cast aside by Ye Yun.
He was just like a father who had done wrong, wanting only to beg for his daughter's forgiveness and make up for the debt he felt in his heart.
Ye Xiaoling just stared quietly at Ye Yun, who stood before her with a face full of regret and pain.
She didn't care whether Ye Yun's expression was a genuine outpouring of emotion, a pretense, or even if he had other motives.
Because none of that was important anymore, and she didn't want to dwell on it.
Looking at Ye Yun, she said without a trace of emotion:
"Ye Yun, from the moment you left the two of us, from the moment you abandoned us for these past ten years, this outcome was already destined."
"Listen clearly: there is no longer any connection between us. From now on, we are strangers."
"If you are still a man, do not appear in our sight ever again, and stop pestering me and Mom."
"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to make amends to us? This is the best way to make amends."
Ten years of time. She and her mother, Su Mingyue, had waited for this man for ten whole years.
How many ten-year periods does a person have in their life?
No one knew how the two of them had spent these ten years.
Only the two of them could truly understand the pain within.
Some mistakes cannot be made up for with verbal apologies or after-the-fact compensation.
Of course, some mistakes are destined to be unforgivable.
If he had appeared before them before Chu Yuan arrived and shouldered his responsibilities as a husband and a father...
If Ye Yun had offered a few sweet words and used actual actions to make up for his mistakes...
Whether it was Ye Xiaoling or Su Mingyue, they would ultimately have chosen to forgive Ye Yun.
Unfortunately, at the darkest moment when they needed help the most, Ye Yun did not appear in time.
Instead, it was Chu Yuan who, like a War God descending from the heavens, appeared behind the mother and daughter and protected them.
He not only brought them wealth but also brought warmth to their hearts, giving them a cozy and harmonious home.
But now, with Chu Yuan's help, Ye Xiaoling had already taken control of the Guan Family's vast assets and had become a little rich woman.
The two of them were living happy lives, yet Ye Yun had suddenly popped up, wanting to take them abroad, wanting them to forgive his mistakes.
This shameless man before her, who didn't feel a shred of shame, made Ye Xiaoling feel disgusted.
So much so that the last bit of anticipation deep in her heart, that tiny connection that existed because of blood ties, vanished completely at this moment.
"Ye Yun, Xiao Ling is right. No matter what you encountered during these ten years, I don't believe that in all this time, you never had any opportunity to come and see us. Even if you didn't have the chance to come, you could have at least sent someone to deliver a message."
"But you disappeared without a trace, which shows you never kept us in your heart."
"Ten years have passed, and I have completely given up on you. If you have even a shred of humanity left, please disappear from our sight and never come to disturb us again."
This time it wasn't Ye Xiaoling speaking, but Su Mingyue beside her, her tone even carrying a hint of pleading.
She looked coldly and quietly at Ye Yun, who was shamelessly loitering at the entrance of their villa, unwilling to leave.
Her gaze was clearly filled with disdain and disgust.
She even waved her hand, as if dismissing a beggar.
"I advise you to leave quickly. If you wait until Chu... wait until my husband arrives, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Husband?
Hearing these two words suddenly spill from Su Mingyue's lips, Ye Yun, who was already emotionally wounded, suffered another critical hit of ten thousand points.
He stared at Su Mingyue in disbelief, his breathing even becoming rapid.
His own daughter didn't want her biological father and had acknowledged a thief as her father.
That was one thing.
Now, even his wife—the wife he intended to spend the rest of his life making amends to—actually had a husband.
His daughter had gone off with someone else, and his wife had been stolen by someone.
The double blow made Ye Yun experience what it meant to be heartbroken.
If his mental state hadn't been relatively stable, he might have been so angry he would have died on the spot.
Just as Ye Yun was plunged into endless torment, looking helpless, the sound of a car horn broke the silence of the scene.
Zuo Shishi was driving a Land Rover, rushing over, and quickly drifted around the corner in front of Ye Yun.
Leaving Ye Yun to inhale a mouthful of exhaust fumes, the Land Rover finally stopped directly in front of him.
"Godfather!"
"Husband!"
Seeing Chu Yuan get out of the car, both Ye Xiaoling, who had just been looking at Ye Yun with displeasure, and Su Mingyue, who had been full of cold indifference, stepped forward quickly and threw themselves into Chu Yuan's arms.
Husband?
Su Mingyue had actually uttered those two words and even taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms, leaving Young Master Chu puzzled about what exactly was going on.
However, when he saw Ye Yun standing to the side, looking dejected with a face as pale as a defeated rooster, he guessed why Su Mingyue had made such an unusual move.
She must have wanted to use him and their relationship to drive away this stray dog, Ye Yun.
To avoid this shameless stray dog constantly appearing in her sight and disturbing the lives of Su Mingyue and Ye Xiaoling.
Having realized this, Chu Yuan remained calm.
Since the beauty was so proactive, throwing herself into his arms, if Chu Yuan didn't show any reaction and didn't know how to cherish her, wouldn't he be failing to live up to her sentiments?
Chu Yuan stretched out his large hand and pulled Su Mingyue, who was leaning gently against his shoulder, directly into his embrace.
In front of Ye Yun, he wrapped one arm around Su Mingyue's waist, and with his other hand, he reached for her cheek to gently wipe away her tears.
