At least, regarding the section about their breakup, she didn't believe Emperor Quan's excuse that he was "young and frivolous, not knowing how to cherish."
Yet she harbored doubts, though she didn't probe further.
The deep pain in the man's eyes as he spoke was mirrored in hers. She also saw through the man's deliberate evasion. At times like these, those who aren't privy to the intricacies feel less heartache, while those who have truly endured the pain are bitten to the core. In that moment, she didn't wish to force him to relive that agony. She thought, since it had already been six years, and both of them had paid the price of separation for those years, knowing more details wouldn't matter anymore.
Besides, with her own stubborn "tough as old boots" nature, what good would it do her to seek out Professor Lv to "block out her memories"?
Better not to know than to know.
She acknowledged that subconsciously, she wanted to avoid the unpleasantness.
