Her mother nodded her head, " Shouldn't you be feeding yourself?"

"Mom! this is exactly why I want to move out," she pouted her lips in complaint, her father placed a piece of kimchi in her placed and gave her a doting smile while the others looked at the duo with an irritated look on their faces.

​​

"My dear daughter, If you move out then I won't be able to feed you like this," her father remarked with a worried expression in his eyes.

"But I am already twenty-seven, If I don't move out now then I am supposed to wait until I get married before I move out,"

"But...."

"You can move out," her mother said, interjecting her father mid-sentence, they looked at her in surprise with their chopstick mid-air.

"Is she really allowed to move out?" Li Na asked, knowing her grandmother.

"Of course, the reason why she is still being childish is that she has been living with her father for too long, she needs to live alone and I am tired of watching the both of them at the dining table," her mother responded with her eyes still on her food.

"Honey, I don't agree with this, how am I going to live without my daughter?" her father protested, he has always pampered Yu Yan since she was a child and her being the last born made matters worse.

"Dad, don't worry, I will come to visit,"

"But still..."

"No but, she is moving out and that is period,"

"Yes ma," Yu Yan responded with excitement written all over her face, she has never been able to invite her friends to her house for fun without her parents but she can do that now that her mother is allowing her to move out.

She could have moved out without their permission but she has always felt bad that they will be left alone without anyone to take care of them but with the twins here she doesn't have to worry about that anymore.

"Wait...Aunt, do you even have a house yet?" Li Na questioned

"I do, a very nice one in fact," she drank her chicken soup in delight, her mother's permission to move out totally made her day even though it is almost coming to an end.

"By the way, when is Aunt getting married?" she stopped when she heard Li Na's question, no one has mentioned her marriage after her mother asked her about Chen Kai the last time, she placed the soup bowl on the table solemnly with a serious expression on her face.

"That is exactly the question I want to ask," her mother added, Li Jing glared at Li Na with an accusing glared seeing how awkward the dinner table became after her question.

"What is the rush, she is still young anyways," her father chimed in to help Yu Yan out.

"Actually, Chen Kai is returning tomorrow," she disclosed, they looked at her in surprise.

"Are you serious, why didn't you tell us about this?"

"I actually forgot,"

"You forgot? this is definitely not something you can forget, is there something you are not telling us?" her mother responded in suspicion, Yu Yan has been waiting for his return for a long time so she definitely can't believe that she forgot his return.

"I really forgot,"

"Is he the handsome boyfriend you were dating in university?" Li Na asked, her face showing she approves of Chen Kai.

"Yes, I am going to pick him up at the airport tomorrow,"

"So have you guys decided to tell his parents about your relationship, if you can't tell them this time one month after he returns then I won't approve of this relationship anymore," her mother firmly declared, she doesn't like the fact that they are hiding it from his parent because they prefer a lady from a wealthy family even though her daughter is much better than any other lady in her eyes.

"Mum..."

"Aunt, is this the situation like those dramas where the in-laws want someone from a wealthy family? tch! you are better than all the other ladies, you shouldn't hide your relationship from them," Li Jing added, they have known Chen Kai since she was in university and they also know he comes from a wealthy family but he has never really like Chen Kai.

Yu Yan smiled at him.

"That is exactly what I have been telling her," she turned to Yu Yan

"Even he agrees with me,"

"I know mum, I have already talked to him about it, we will tell his parents immediately he returns, she didn't want to tell them she met his mother at the hospital to prevent them from asking more questions so she just had to reassure them.

"Sigh!" Everyone turned to Li Na.

"I guess it is true that even the smartest person can be foolish in love," She remarked, they all laughed at her remark but only Yu Yan glared at her.

"Aunt, have you seen the head...."

"Brother, have you completed your maths assignment," Li Na interrupted him mid-sentence, he was about to ask why she still hasn't visited their school even though the headmistress has already sent her a mail to request her presence at the school.

She gave him a look saying {You had better shut your mouth}, he took note of it so he just kept quiet about it.....it is her business anyways.

"You were saying...."

"Oh...its nothing,"

After dinner, Li Na did the dishes while the rest retired to their bedrooms, lying on her bed, she opened her Wechat to see if she has any message from Chen Kai, after their conversation the other day, she has lost her urge to speak to him and she doesn't feel the same excitement she feels when he speaks to her.

The pressure of having to make him introduce her to his parents as someone he wants to marry and his parent's requirement for their daughter in law completely weighed her down, she knew her mother meant what she said and she has always been grateful to her parent for being able to tolerate her relationship.

Her mother didn't like Chen Kai the first time she brought him home and she hated the fact that her daughter is the one at a disadvantage in the relationship but since Yu Yan was too adamant to date him, she couldn't help but give in.

She opened his text when she saw the notification saying she has a text from him.

{Are you still coming to pick me up, if you are busy then I can ask someone else to pick me up?}

She had many things to say to him and many insecurities but she decided she would let it wait, now that he is returning she has become more worried than she was before he even told her he was returning.

{I will, when you arrive at the airport send me a text}

She sent the text and placed her phone on the table beside her bed then she switched on the night lamp and turned to the other side to sleep, somehow, she remembered the voices in her head when the trauma case came in.

{Why did I call Han Chen name?}

It now seemed suspicious to her how he became close to her as soon as they met which is quite different from what Jia Yu described him as but she doesn't have any memory of him and Jia Yu also said she never introduced him to her.

"The way he looked at me when I saw his scar.....there is definitely something off here, is he part of the memory I lost or not?" for the first time in a while she is feeling frustrated for not being able to remember the partial memory she lost of her high school years.

"And his sudden change of behaviour...." she didn't want to think of it anymore, the fact that she has had two flashes of her missing memory because of him bothers her (she had one when she saw his scar in the car in chap 123).

"Whatever," she closed her eyes in determination to put the matter off her mind.

Meanwhile, he was also finding it hard to sleep, he got up from his bed and walked to the mini wine shelf in his bedroom, he picked a bottle of 1811 Chateau d'Yquem with a wine glass then he walked to the red and gold coloured stool with two chairs of similar colours around it.

He sat down and poured himself a glass of wine reaching just a little above the bottom of the glass as he stared at the mural of the girl in a hoodie hanging above his bed, all he could think of is Yu Yan, even his dreams were occupied by her, he hated to remember how excited she sounded when she heard he was returning soon.

"How I wish I could just force you to remember me," he poured the glass of wine down his throat and poured himself another glass.

"But it might not be of any use, we were just in high school then, so our past feelings might not mean anything to you...anymore," he lamented, he raised the glass to the mural and poured it down his throat, he felt the need to get drunk in order for him to sleep but he had too much to complain about.

He previously thought that if only he could bring back her memories of him then they might come back together but now he realized that their past might be too little to stand in front of what she has now.

"No matter what I will take you back...you are mine," he declared.

He finished the entire bottle of wine before he finally felt sleepy but not drunk then he dragged himself to his bed and fell asleep.

"Yu Yan...." he mumbled in his sleep.
