Ye Xunhuan could guarantee that if he told Qiu Ruoxi the reason he was inquiring about the Xie family was because they had acted against Dongfang Shu, Qiu Ruoxi's expression would immediately turn stormy and frosty.
After all, Qiu Ruoxi was well aware of Dongfang Shu's frequent attempts to cozy up to Ye Xunhuan and had warned him multiple times to stay away from her, saying that she was trouble.
If Ye Xunhuan suddenly told Qiu Ruoxi that he wanted to help Dongfang Shu deal with the Xie family, Qiu Ruoxi would most likely believe there was something going on between the two of them.
At that point, a cold war would be almost unavoidable.
Ye Xunhuan didn't want to create trouble for himself out of thin air, so telling Qiu Ruoxi the truth was almost an impossible task.
However, if he didn't tell the truth, Ye Xunhuan couldn't think of a reason right away.
After all, the Xie family hadn't wronged him!
