Lin Xiyan was silent.
Qiao Qing sighed. She could guess the answer already.
She couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to be with him?"
Lin Xiyan shook her head, "He doesn't know how I feel and I don't have the luxury of wishing to be with him. I just don't want him to not know me at all."
"That's not necessarily true." Qiao Qing said, "You just have to answer me, 'yes' or 'no'."
Lin Xiyan said, "What difference does it make?"
"Of course it'll make a difference." Qiao Qing said, "I know what you mean and I will help restore his memory. But if you want to be with him, I'll just invite over two additional people."
"If I don't, then even if Fu Xiuyu decides to go against his mother's wishes and be with you, his mother will make your life a living hell. You'd be living under Yi Shiqiong's shadows your entire life."
Lin Xiyan lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. By the time she looked up again, her eyes were teary.
