"Jin, do you know how much I love you?" Ling Yiran could not help murmuring. She even had the urge to kiss him right now.
His long eyelashes fluttered slightly and he slowly opened his eyes. Those deep and glittering peach blossom eyes immediately caught sight of Ling Yiran's face.
Ling Yiran was stunned. For a moment, she felt as if she had been captivated by those eyes and was immersed in the glittering light in them.
"Then tell me how much you love me." His smooth voice rang in Ling Yiran's ears.
She instantly paused and came back to her senses, "I..."
'How much do I love him?'
She loved him, so she could let go of all sorts of resentment for him. He had stood by and watched her go to prison when he knew the truth about her case, but... she could not stop wanting to be with him.
It was because she had never loved a man so much, nor had any man loved her this much.
She had also heard from Secretary Gao that she fell into the ocean that year because she did not want him to die to save her, so she pulled the handbrake to back up the car and fell into the ocean.
However... he had no idea about this because he had forgotten all about it.
"What's the matter? Can't you say it?" The corners of his lips were tugged upward. "That's right. If you loved me, you wouldn't have left, would you?"
'Leaving... He probably thought I left of my own accord.' Ling Yiran felt as though there was a heavy weight on her heart, which almost made her gasp for breath.
"I didn't leave because of what you think. I had… a reason." Ling Yiran paused and said, "Five years ago, you weren’t the only one who lost your memory; I lost mine too. You only forgot what had happened between you and me, but I forgot who I was."
Surprise flickered in Yi Jinli's eyes when he heard that. 'She... lost her memory too?'
"For five years, I was living as someone else—a struggling single mother with a child. You can look into it. I only remembered you about a week ago, but I couldn't get through to you by phone, so I brought our daughter back to Shen City to look for you!"
Ling Yiran said as she stared intently at the person before her. "Jin, believe me, okay? I didn't leave you because I didn't love you."
It was because she loved him so much that she did not want him to die for her. It was why she had sacrificed herself and the lives of the three children she was carrying in her belly at the time.
