Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Qingyi knew that she could not hide the truth from him and she nodded. “A little.”

“What do you remember?” Mo Han’s voice sounded very different from the usual.

“That woman downstairs. I remembered some things about her from the past. I believe it’s real even though it was very little.”

“What about Han Liang?”

“Nothing.” Xia Qingyi shook her head. “But, I think that it’s likely to be true.”

Mo Han laughed, “What is real? It’s merely a guess from you. You’re such an intelligent person, you can’t possibly be confused by this?”

“Older brother… in the afternoon… I saw some photos that Xiao Mei showed me. I think that the person in the photo is really me. Also, about the room in the restaurant, I really think… that it should be like that.”

“You merely remembered that woman downstairs, yet you think that everything that Han Liang had told you is true?” Mo Han asked her in reply.

“Then… how do you explain this photo? How do you explain this place?” Xia Qingyi pointed to the wedding photo behind her as she replied to Mo Han, “Do you think he’d do this much for a ploy to make me his wife?

“Older brother…” Xia Qingyi said, “Don’t…”

Mo Han interrupted her words angrily, “Don’t call me older brother… I’m not your older brother!”

Xia Qingyi froze. Her voice softened as her shoulders sagged. “I know you’re not my older brother. When I saw you for the first time, at your law firm, I knew that you weren’t my older brother as I stared into your eyes.”

“I know that I don’t have any relatives.” Xia Qingyi looked down. “But, I… finally remembered a little of what had happened in the past today. I’m happy regardless of whether it’s good or bad. I feel like I’m finally more than a person who was abandoned by others.”

“If… I didn’t remember anything today… or if I’d didn’t feel anything, I would quietly follow you back and continue to be your family in name since I already thought that he was lying.”

Xia Qingyi continued, “But I remembered… I would like to try even though it’s only a little part of my memory. I want to know what it feels like to be with family.”

“So… you want to return to be with them?” Mo Han asked.

Xia Qingyi did not reply.

Mo Han glanced at her, then at the wedding photo that she had taken with another man behind her. The photo was a complete eyesore for him. The Xia Qingyi in the photo was looking at that man with so much love in her eyes, how could it be her?”

She was definitely not Song Yuenian that had been married to that man for a year. It must be another woman.

Xia Qingyi did not seem to believe it unfortunately. He could not stop her thoughts. He could never stop whatever she wanted to do.

A knock was heard from the other side of the door and Han Liang shouted from outside, “Why is the door locked?”

Xia Qingyi looked at Mo Han, who remained unmoved. He stared straight at her, standing in front of the door. His gaze was one that Xia Qingyi had never seen. Eventually, she went to open the door in the midst of Han Liang’s shouts from outside.

Mo Han grabbed her hand that was on the door handle with strength, stopping her from moving.

Xia Qingyi used her other free hand to push him away as she mouthed the words to him. “Let go. Let me try.”

The door opened. Han Liang, who had been on the other side of the door, looked at Mo Han, who had his back to him, and Xia Qingyi, who was smiling faintly. “Why was the door locked?”

“I don’t know. It must have been locked earlier. There was a gush of wind earlier and it happened to close the door. We were about to open the door.”

Han Liang looked at the opened window in the room. He walked over to close it. “I forgot to close the window.”

Mo Han said, “I have some work at the law firm. I’ll return first.”

“Why are you leaving so soon? You didn’t drive here, so how are you going to return?” Han Liang asked.

“I’ll call a taxi. I shouldn’t disturb you any further.” Mo Han was using all his strength to control his emotions.

With that said, Mo Han did not stay any longer as he turned to leave the room.

Han Liang wanted to stop him, though he turned back to look at Xia Qingyi with confusion.

“Let him go. He’s quite busy usually.” Xia Qingyi said as she looked in the direction he had left.
