"I wanted to come back and have dinner with you."

"I've already eaten, but we can take Eleven for a walk together."

"good."

Qiao Wanwan took Eleven's hand and led him to the garden, with Zhan Jingting following behind.

Shi Yi quickly let go and went off to play on her own. Qiao Wanwan came up behind Zhan Jingting and helped push his wheelchair.

“Let’s spend time with Shiyi exercising first, then Zheng’s mom can take him to bed later, and I’ll go to the gym with you,” Qiao Wanwan suggested.

"Okay." Zhan Jingting said, "Wanwan, did you go shopping today?"

"Um."

“You’re not a big shopaholic,” Zhan Jingting bluntly pointed out. “If you’re bored staying at home, I can go out with you. It’s better than eating out alone.”

"Jingting, do you think it's strange that I haven't been eating dinner at home lately?"

"yes."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Then I won't go out tomorrow."

“Wanwan, you know I didn’t mean to restrict your personal freedom. I just feel like you’re hiding something from me.”

Qiao Wanwan walked around to him and took his hand. "Jingting, I went out and had too much fun the other day. I didn't get back to my old ways. Plus, I was thinking about how to help my master regain his memory, so I was inevitably feeling restless. That's why I went out to clear my head."

“If you’re feeling frustrated, you should tell me, and I’ll be there for you.”

“You have your own things to do, and I think that even married couples should have their own independent space. I want to process my negative emotions on my own,” Qiao Wanwan explained.

Zhan Jingting held her hand. "Wanwan, I hope I can shoulder everything for you."

"Of course you are, and you've been carrying the burden all along, but I deal with these girls' little emotional issues on my own. I hope you understand, okay?"

Zhan Jingting nodded. "Okay."

Qiao Wanwan leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. "Jingting, I love you."

Zhan Jingting smiled and said, "I know."

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, concealing the darkness within them.

But... I'm sorry.
