"The tattoo on my body isn't Leilei's 'LEI,' but my mother's name. My father had someone tattoo it on me years ago," Xiao Ye said.

"Now, it seems I've already begun walking the same path as him."
Yao Beidi didn't respond, so silent it was as if she hadn't heard a word he said.
"I think, after all these years, I owe you at least one apology," Xiao Ye said, turning around and suddenly embracing her, pulling her forcefully into his arms.
