"Mm, and then?"
Shi Mei grasped his hand tightly, turned around, and faced him.
Now it was even more convenient for Shi Lingyan to get closer. He leaned in and said, "It's just that back then, Uncle Bai's parents disapproved of their relationship, because the girl wasn't in good health and her complexion was very pale. Even though she was very talented, her poor health meant she couldn't continue the family line, so Uncle Bai's parents were always against it. Later on, Uncle Bai even attempted to elope with her."
"They didn't manage to run away?" Shi Mei blinked.
Shi Lingyan nodded, "That seems to be the case. Anyway, he didn't end up with his first love and instead married Aunt Bai, who matched him in social status and was kindhearted—that is, Bai Yuejie's mother now."
