Lu Yebai's eyes dimmed as he let out a light sigh: "I'm not sure either."
The brightness in Meng Xi'er's eyes faded, she lowered her head and said: "If the child in Xun Ruliu's womb belongs to Lun You, then whatever the truth may be, it doesn't matter anymore..."
Lu Yebai fell silent as well, understanding what Meng Xi'er meant; if the child in Xun Ruliu's womb was Lun You's, then there was no chance for Lun You and Liu Mingxing to be together anymore.
It was not possible for them to be together anymore.
"Stop thinking about these things," Lu Yebai sighed, speaking to Meng Xi'er, "I'll go warm some milk for you."
Meng Xi'er pursed her lips and responded: "Mm."
...
After Meng Xi'er finished the milk, she went to sleep, utterly exhausted in both body and mind, falling asleep as soon as she hit the bed. Lu Yebai stayed by her side until she was asleep before carefully making his way out.
He stood at the door, dialling Lun You's number, but no one picked up on the other end.
