"You came back with Niannian, saying she was Pei Jinchuan's daughter. I thought she was the child you had with Pei Jinchuan during those days you spent in seclusion. I hated myself even more, regretting that I should have never let you go."
"But, even if Niannian really was your daughter with him, I would still take you back, at any cost."
