Before Yi Jinli left, he stared at Lil Ci again. His eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
Yi Jinli kept his head down in silence after they got back in the car. Ling Yiran asked, "What are you thinking about?" He instantly came back to his senses and smiled faintly, saying, "Nothing. Let's go back to Yi Residence."
At night, a figure arrived at the mourning hall. Yi Jinli walked in and looked at the black and white photo of his father hanging in front of him.
In the photo, his father looked gentle. There was a soft smile on his lips. There seemed to be a hint of joy in his deep eyes too, as though they carried rays of sunshine.
If he looked at the shape of his father’s eyes, they were somewhat similar to the boy called Lil Ci whom he met today.
He had only given the child a cursory glance at the amusement park before this.
Although he had heard about the child from Yiran, it was only today that he got a good look at the child.
He did not think of it at first but then he realized... the child's eyes looked like his father's.
It was just that the look in those eyes was different!
He slowly entered the inner hall, where there was a woman's photo in front of his father's memorial tablet. It was... the woman who had abandoned him and his father.
The outline of this woman had been imprinted in his mind for too many years!
In any case, he had to find out if it was as he thought!
Just as Yi Jinli finished giving his instructions and put away his phone, he heard footsteps coming over. He looked up to see a thin figure walking toward him.
"What are you doing here?" asked Ling Yiran, who had just put her two children to bed. A maid told her he was at the mourning hall.
She knew that he did not usually come here. Apart from coming here on tomb-sweeping day, winter solstice, and the anniversary of his father's death, he would only be here if he was in a bad mood.
'Today isn't one of those special days, so does that mean... he's in a bad mood?' wondered Ling Yiran.
