Back then, she had no memory of him or the promises they made during their childhood.
Ling Yiran picked up a piece of pancake and began to eat. 'I’m just having dinner with Chenchen today.'
Just like their promise, she had come to Shen City and he was treating her to lots of delicious food!
...
At night, a Maserati pulled up slowly and stopped in the neighborhood. Ling Yiran got out of the car. She had only taken two steps when Gu Lichen's voice came from behind her.
"Wait!" He caught up with a takeaway box in his hand and handed it to Ling Yiran. "These are the pancakes we had earlier. I saw you enjoying them, so I asked the restaurant to pack up another portion."
Ling Yiran pursed her lips slightly before taking it. "Thank you." She could not refuse because they were pancakes.
It was like... how she could not reject Chenchen when they were little and were fulfilling their promise.
When she took the takeaway box, his hand grabbed her hands. His sight fell on her two hands. "You must have suffered a lot."
Her body shivered. "It's all over now."
He murmured, "If only I had known you earlier, then perhaps you wouldn't have suffered all this."
For the first time, he felt so sorry for a woman! He even wanted to take her place and suffer for her.
Her case had been nothing more than gossip to him back then. If the deceased was not Yi Jinli's fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Hao family, he might not have had any impression at all.
