The bitter smile on his face turned graver. Hadn't he just found out how close they were yesterday?
"Can I... see them?" Zheng Haoyu tentatively asked.
"No!" Su Nian refused firmly and decisively, her eyes warily fixed on him. She could tell him about the children but she would never let him near them. Who knew if he would force the two children to save Lian Ze like she had dreamt a year ago, a dream that was still fresh in her memory.
Regret flashed across Zheng Haoyu's face, but luckily, he understood what Su Nian feared and didn't press any further.
"Su Nian, I have a question."
"What?" Su Nian turned her head.
"Did you… ever love me?" His voice hoarse with deep bitterness, Zheng Haoyu felt like his head was buried deep in the dust, yet there was no blooming flower in sight.
Su Nian silently stared at him. Did she love him? Love him?
