Meng Qingxue hurriedly nodded. “Yes, I ate at the canteen.”
“Oh? What did you eat?”
“Steamed buns and dried tofu.”
“Are you full? Not eating anymore?”
Meng Qingxue hurriedly waved her hand. “No, I’m full.”
Chu He nodded.
Meng Qingxue sat opposite her and quietly watched the girl drink the porridge.
For some reason, ever since Chu He woke up from her surgery, there was something different about her.
In the past, although Chu He had also appeared cold and emotionless on the surface, she had an extremely gentle temperament.
Probably because she was a mother, she was very easy-going.
However, the Chu He she was observing now brought only one word to her mind.
“Mechanical.”
Her cold and indifferent expression, and even the way she ate, made her look like a robot. She was rigid and serious, as if she had no emotions. At the same time, her carriage was very elegant and pleasing to the eye.
Like royalty.
Her facial features were pretty, but because of her short hair, she had a dashingly icy aura that was rather uncommon in women.
For a moment, she could not think of any man who could tame such a girl.
Meng Qingxue could not help but fantasize about the sort of man Chu Xiaobao’s father was.
A man who could conquer Chu He must be very capable!
She was very curious!
However, since the time Chu He woke up, she had not mentioned anything about her past.
This was somewhat disappointing.
Although Meng Qingxue knew that there were some things that she should not ask about, she was still very curious.
After struggling for a long time, she finally mustered her courage and ventured, “Chu He, do you remember those things in the past…”
“I’m full.”
Chu He seemed to have not heard her question. She set her bowl down and wiped her lips with a napkin.
Interrupted, Meng Qingxue glanced at the bowl. Chu He hadn’t drank much, only half a bowl. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
“Are you full?”
“Yes, I’m full.”
Chu He sounded indifferent.
However, Meng Qingxue was very sensitive. Her lips twitched and she asked suspiciously, “Did I ask something that I shouldn’t have and upset you?”
Chu He looked at her and said after a long silence, “You asked me if I remembered the past. I heard it clearly but I don’t wish to answer.”
Her intention was crisp and clear.
“You don’t want to talk about it?”
Meng Qingxue was disappointed. “Why? Why don’t you want to talk about it?”
Chu He replied, “It’s not a good memory.”
“How could that be? After all these years, surely there have to be some memories that move you or make you happy.”
“There are.”
Chu He paused and continued, “Some memories make me feel warm, like you, or little baby… these I cherish.”
Meng Qingxue smiled. Suddenly, Chu He’s expression turned cold.
“Some memories are disgraceful. Even if I remember them, I don’t want to look back.”
“…” Meng Qingxue was stunned.
“Is it about that man?”
“Hm?”
“Little baby’s biological father, right?”
Hearing that, Chu He curled her lips without showing any expression. “Yeah.”
“You have no feelings for him?” Meng Qingxue thought hard. “Or did he betray you?”
“I betrayed him.”
“…”
“Whichever way, I have no feelings for him.”
“Then… how did little baby come about?”
