1490 A Thousand Years Ago
Chu Man leaned back in her chair and flipped through the photos of Xia Wei talking to Yu Qian and the rest.
From the first time she saw Xia Wei until now, he had always been gentle in front of her, as if nothing could trigger his emotions.
However, in the photo, Xia Wei had an expression she had never seen before. The mask on his body was lowered.
At this moment, Xia Wei gave her the feeling of an unfathomable king. He was like an abyss, terrifying, but it made one want to approach him.
From the beginning when Xia Wei met Chu Man, he had used the alias of Xia Wan. At this moment, in Chu Man’s opinion, Xia Wei had deliberately thought of this name according to Xia Wanyuan’s name.
She tightened her grip on the photo and a hint of mockery flashed across her eyes. “As expected of China’s number one celebrity. Her ability to charm people is really top-notch.”
The subordinate looked at Chu Man carefully. “Boss, don’t you think Xia Wanyuan and Mr. Xia look a little similar? Could the two of them…”
Chu Man’s expression was calm. “No.”
Back then, when she saw Xia Wanyuan for the first time, she also felt that Xia Wei looked a little similar to her. Hence, she specially got someone to leave behind the cup that Xia Wanyuan had drunk from. From the DNA extracted from it, she and Xia Wei were not related by blood at all.
Later on, she had also gotten someone to thoroughly investigate Xia Wanyuan’s background. It was impossible for her to have a younger brother like Xia Wei.
Chu Man narrowed her eyes. “Get someone to continue watching.”
“Yes.”

On the other hand, Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan left the ancient castle.
Yu Qian glanced at Xia Wanyuan, who had been silent since they left the ancient castle. “He’s your younger brother from a thousand years ago??”
Xia Wanyuan suddenly looked up. “What?”
The corners of Yu Qian’s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with understanding. “Do you think your identity is a huge secret?”
“How did you know?” For so long, Yu Qian had never revealed anything about her identity.
Facing Xia Wanyuan’s question, Yu Qian only shook his head gently. “I don’t know much, just a little.”
With that, Yu Qian looked at his watch. “The gala is about to begin. Madam, let’s go?”
At this moment, Xia Wanyuan was filled with confusion. She turned her head and glanced at Yu Qian.
In the past three years, she had already become the main person-in-charge of all Yu Qian’s forces. She had thought that although she did not completely understand Yu Qian, she knew him quite well.
However, at this moment, she felt that she had never understood Yu Qian.
Did Yu Qian know my background from the beginning?? Other than him, who else knew?? I didn’t enter this time crack by chance at all, but by premeditation??
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had not followed, Yu Qian stopped and waited for her. “Why aren’t you leaving?”
“When did you know?” Xia Wanyuan looked at Yu Qian with a slightly cold expression. “Did you know from the beginning?”
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to leave without asking clearly, a hint of helplessness flashed across Yu Qian’s eyes. He took two steps back. “No, I didn’t know before.”
At first, he knew about Xia Wanyuan because of Wei Zimu. He was very curious about the woman Wei Zimu had been worried about for more than ten years, so he pretended to be Wei Zimu and approached Xia Wanyuan.
What surprised him was that Xia Wanyuan could easily differentiate him from Wei Zimu. At that time, he only felt that Xia Wanyuan had some eyesight and lost interest.
The real interest in Xia Wanyuan was because of a coincidental meeting.
Thinking of the black-robed man’s words, a dark look flashed across Yu Qian’s eyes. He was unwilling to say anything else. “There’s a surprise at today’s gala. Are you sure you don’t want to go?”
