'That may be true, but...'
She quickly found an excuse and said, "Eat... Eat first. You haven't even finished eating!"
She seemed to have felt an electric current running through her body when he licked her fingertips earlier.
"Okay," he replied obediently and put down her hands. He picked up the cutleries again and ate dinner. "Have your hands been hurting all these years?"
"They’re alright. It's still the same. They’ll ache when the weather is cold and wet," she said.
"Would you like to see Dr. Su again?" asked Yi Jinli.
When he uttered the words ‘Dr. Su’, Ling Yiran instantly froze and looked at Yi Jinli in surprise. "Do you... remember Dr. Su?"
Yi Jinli froze. Then as if he had come to his senses, his eyes glistened as he said, "Yes, I remember. I've recalled some of our past these days, so I remember Dr. Su."
"Do you remember what happened back then?" Ling Yiran got excited.
"I only remember some things, not many," he said lightly. It was in sharp contrast to her excitement. "Do you want me to remember what had happened back then?"
"Of course, I want you to..." She stopped halfway through her speech. 'Is it a good idea to have him recall the things in the past? How will he feel if he remembers how I had fallen into the sea and that the old master stabbed him in the back?
'What will happen to his mental state?'
For a moment, Ling Yiran hesitated.
However... it might be good enough for her, but it was not nearly good enough for him.
He wanted to find out the truth and the real reason she left him back then. Maybe he could be at ease when he found out.
Otherwise, he would never feel at ease!
...
That night, after the two children had gone to bed, Ling Yiran went back to her bedroom and found Yi Jinli sitting on the couch. He was flipping through some documents.
She said, "Jin, I want to talk to you about something."
