An Jing said, "Not many people know about this. Even Se Se doesn't know."
Then, An Jing briefly explained why Gong Juechen and Gong Juese, clearly members of royalty, had fallen into exile.
She also told Ye Zhi that Gong Juese was still unaware of her own lineage.
"I used to think it unnecessary to share this with you, but since you've asked now, I'll tell you. Besides, you have a tight mouth, so I trust you won't spread this secret. Especially to Se Se — you must be extra cautious. Gong Juechen has hidden everything for his younger sister's sake, wanting Se Se to live happily and innocently like this forever."
Although An Jing only gave a brief explanation, Ye Zhi felt a whirl of emotions in her heart.
She had always known that the siblings Gong Juechen and Gong Juese shared a close bond. She also knew that Gong Juechen spoiled his younger sister immensely. But she hadn't realized that what she knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
