Pei Jianyuan gestured for her to continue, and Bai Hanyun asked, "Sir, what is your relationship with Bai Ruyan?"
Pei Jianyuan's eyes dimmed at that question. His fists clenched tightly as memories surged through his mind.
Sitting across from him, Bai Hanyun saw the same pain, regret, and longing in his eyes. Those were the same emotions she had seen when she peeked into Pei Jianyuan's past with the Yin Mirror's help.
After a long moment of silence, Pei Jianyuan slowly relaxed his clenched fists before replying, "Ruyan is my wife."
Bai Hanyun was not surprised when she heard his answer. She had already seen his past and guessed the truth. Asking him now was only to confirm that her guess was correct.
Seeing that she was not surprised, Pei Jianyuan said, "Miss Bai, you already know."
That was not a question, but a statement.
Bai Hanyun nodded before saying, "I do."
