While they were waiting for the meals to be served, they talked about the things that happened since the last they met.
At one point, An Qi Yan scolded him,
"How could you come back without saying anything to me? I thought we are friends."
He smiled wryly, "Of course we are friends."
Eager to change the topic of conversation, he asked about the children. When it got to the topic on Kai Xin, he asked, "Is she well?"
"She's doing really well. She has a stable career, a great income, and she finally got herself a boyfriend!"
"That's great."
An Qi Yan watched him as he carefully picked up the glass of red wine and took a sip. Even though he was much older now, but to her, he was still the most handsome guy ever.
"Sima Erden, you jerk! Do you know how much I miss you?"
He gave her a sad smile as he replied, "Qi Yan, you know why I left. We can never be together."
When she heard the same phrase that she heard 30 years ago, An Qi Yan sighed, "Yeah...We can't."
