Reaching for the second cookie, Luo Xiaoqian looked up, noticing Leng Zimo’s unusual expression, and asked with concern.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Leng Zimo snapped back to reality, quickly shook his head, and bowed slightly to her. He turned and pointed to the door, indicating that he was leaving.
Luo Ke could return at any moment. Although he was reluctant to leave, he knew it was time to go.
"Okay, thank you for the midnight snack."
Luo Xiaoqian got up to see him to the door.
Leng Zimo stood outside the door, looking at a strand of loose hair on her forehead. He instinctively raised his hand to straighten it, but midway through, he pulled back.
"Good... night!"
"Good night." Luo Xiaoqian smiled back at him.
Grinding his teeth silently, Leng Zimo gave her a smile, forcing himself to turn around and walk out the door.
Watching his back, seeing him reach out to grip the doorknob, Luo Xiaoqian increasingly felt a sense of unfamiliarity about him.
"Wait!"
She urgently called out.
Leng Zimo turned his face back with a look of confusion.
"Have we... met before?" Luo Xiaoqian hesitantly asked, "It’s just, I... I forgot... I have amnesia, so I forgot everything from before, but I keep feeling like... we’ve met before..."
Leng Zimo’s heart leaped with joy. Indeed, even in disguise, could she still feel familiar with him?!
The door was pulled open, and Luo Ke looked at Leng Zimo standing outside, scrutinizing with a frown.
"Why are you here?!"
"The maid was busy, so I came to bring madam a midnight snack." Leng Zimo hurriedly explained in Italian.
"Sissi!" Realizing his tone was too harsh, Luo Ke hurried over, "Listen to me, let me explain, I... I know I shouldn’t have said that; I just love you too much..."
"If you really love me, you shouldn’t restrict my freedom!" Luo Xiaoqian shouted from inside the door.
"I’m not restricting you. On this island, you can move freely..."
The door suddenly swung open, Luo Xiaoqian stared straight at him, "So, this island is my prison, right?"
"No, of course not. Wherever you want to go, I can take you." Luo Ke raised his hand to grab her arm, "Sissi, the reason I brought you here was because you were injured here, not to imprison you."
"Alright, I’m tired of staying here, I don’t want to stay on the island any longer..."
"Where do you want to go?"
"I..." Luo Xiaoqian paused, and then said, "Rome!"
The note on that hotel’s stationery had Rome written as the heading. Luo Xiaoqian wanted to go see for herself.
