5:40 PM.

"don't want."

Ye Anmo woke up with a start, a light sweat appearing on his forehead.

In his dream, Si Mingye discovered that her memories had been fully restored, and that she was planning to leave him.

When Si Mingye found out about this, he vowed to imprison her in Yu Garden for the rest of his life, and never let her see her family again.

Ye Anmo was terrified of his possessiveness.

Finally, seeing Si Mingye's terrifying appearance, she woke up in a fright from her dream.

Si Mingye walked in the moment she screamed, and looked at Ye Anmo's pale face with great concern.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Si Mingye took two tissues from the table next to him and gently wiped away the thin layer of sweat on Ye Anmo's forehead.

"Yeah, it's alright now."

Ye Anmo did not tell Si Mingye about the content of her dream, after all, the male protagonist in the dream was him, and she was afraid of him.

"Go wash your face, we'll go out to eat later."

"good."

Ye Anmo skipped over Si Mingye and headed straight for the restroom.

Hearing the sound of water coming out of the faucet inside, Si Mingye fell into quiet contemplation.

Just now, Ye Anmo looked at him with fear and panic in her eyes.

Did he do something to her in her dream?

Si Mingye lowered his deep eyes, his index finger rhythmically tapping the blanket that Ye Anmo had just covered with.

His thoughts at that moment were hard to fathom.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Anmo changed her clothes and put on some light makeup, including blush.

Her face was indeed too pale, and she had no color at all.

"Night, I'm ready, I can go out now."

Ye Anmo looked at Si Mingye with a smile.

Si Mingye had always been captivated by her radiant smile.

When they first met, it was Ye Anmo's smile that attracted him and made him fall in love at first sight.

Years later, he finally kept her by his side.

Si Mingye got up and walked towards Ye Anmo, then bent down and kissed her forehead.

"Let's go."

His kisses were gentle, his eyes were full of affection, and such intimate behavior was reserved only for Ye Anmo.

"Let's go."

Si Mingye habitually took Ye Anmo's hand.

Ye Anmo is never proactive; he is the only one who takes the initiative.

What should we eat?

"There's a famous private restaurant nearby, let's go there to eat."

"Um."

The private restaurant was not far from the hotel; it only took the two of them fifteen minutes to walk there.

It was lunchtime, and the private restaurant was starting to get busier.

Si Mingye had made a reservation in advance, and when they arrived at the restaurant, the waiter led them directly into the reserved private room.

After the two sat down, Si Mingye handed the menu to Ye Anmo.

In the past, when they ate out, he would almost always let her order the dishes she liked, and he would eat with Ye Anmo regardless of whether he liked them or not.

As long as Ye Anmo is happy with his meal, that's all that matters.

Ye Anmo opened the menu and looked at their signature dishes.

There is abalone and chicken soup with matsutake mushrooms, seafood rolls, and Thai spicy eel.

Other dishes include garlic ribs, crispy shrimp with Sichuan peppercorns, braised yellow croaker with vermicelli, and stir-fried beef with lotus root tips.

After looking around, Ye Anmo finally ordered three dishes and a soup.

A serving of free-range chicken soup, a serving of stir-fried beef, a serving of seafood rolls, and a serving of stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

The dishes were served quickly; in less than half an hour, all the dishes were served.

Si Mingye first served Ye Anmo a bowl of chicken soup.

Fresh, sweet, and rich – one bite is enough to tantalize your soul.

This soup tastes just like it did before.

Ye Anmo had long been tired of those creamy mushroom soups.

She just didn't tell Si Mingye.

Seeing that Ye Anmo was still not satisfied after finishing a bowl of soup, Si Mingye served her another bowl.

"Is it really that good?" Si Mingye asked with a smile, it seemed he had made the right choice in choosing this shop.

"Mmm, it's delicious, you should try some too."

Then, Ye Anmo took a bite of the seafood roll, which contained squid pieces, cilantro, and egg.

The layers of texture are absolutely amazing.

At the same time, she remembered the seafood rolls that Xiao Beichen's mother had once made for her.

Unlike the seafood rolls at this private restaurant, Xiao Mama's seafood rolls contain shrimp, pork, and crab roe, and are made with crystal wrappers.

Both have their own characteristics.

But what Xiao's mother did was full of love.

That's what truly feels like home.

Ye Anmo's memories instantly returned to the beautiful time before she married Xiao Beichen.

Xiao Beichen often brought his mother's homemade delicacies to her company or residence.

At that time, Xiao Beichen was working in the border town, and the Xiao family was also located there.

Every day he drove two hours round trip to Beicheng to see her, just so he could see her once a day.

Xiao Beichen found this extremely enjoyable.

At that time, Xiao's father and mother treated her very well, so well that they regarded her as their own daughter.

Thinking about the year or so that he had been missing, Ye Anmo couldn't help but feel a little sad.

How painful and heartbreaking it must have been for her family and friends when they learned of her death in that fire.

She must make it up to them in the future.

Perhaps sensing that Ye Anmo's mood was off, Si Mingye put down his chopsticks and asked gently, "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

Ye Anmo held back her tears, quickly composed herself, and smiled faintly.

"No, it's delicious, I like it very much."

"That's good. Here, try this stir-fried beef."

After saying that, Si Mingye picked up his chopsticks and put some beef on Ye Anmo's plate.

Ye Anmo obediently started eating, no longer thinking about the past.

Now, she has more important things to do.
