Under the soft moonlight, Bai Yiyi met Gu Kai's gaze, which carried a trace of amusement. Somewhere deep within her heart, she felt herself softening, warmth trickling into her soul like a clear spring, melting a corner of the icy wall she'd built over the years.
She couldn't help but smile. "Really? Are you so certain?"
"Of course. Do you think I'd bring you here without knowing for sure who I am?"
Gu Kai chuckled lightly, locking eyes with her for a moment before turning to the tombstone and looking at his mother's photo. "Mom, I've never forgotten what you once said to me. When I find a girl I truly like, I must bring her to meet you."
This time, Bai Yiyi quietly listened.
She tilted her body slightly, lifting her face to look at Gu Kai while his warm and pleasant voice continued, "Tonight, I brought her here. And, by the way, I want to tell you something secret—Dad doesn't even know yet. I brought Yiyi to meet you first."
