h4Chapter 462: Chapter 461: Must Find Her (7)/h4

    Yesterday, he had chased her out of the orphanage, but Ling Chuxia had already taken a taxi and left. He was overwhelmed with frustration and hurried back to ask the director for her contact information. However, all the director told him was that Chuxia was preparing to go abroad and might nevere back.

    For many years, he made asional visits to the orphanage, partly to check on the kids and the director, and partly in the hopes of bumping into Ling Chuxia. But despite the time that had passed, he never once met her—until, when they finally did, it seemed they might be destined never to meet again. In that moment, his heart plummeted into an abyss.

    The next day, he returned to Lin City carrying a heavy sense of loss. As he got off the vehicle and walked aimlessly, he unexpectedly lifted his eyes and saw a familiar figure.

    His eyes suddenly brightened, and the heart that had quieted down began to boil with excitement. Yet, he dared not rush forward recklessly, afraid of the disappointment that woulde with mistaking a stranger for her.

    He followed behind Ling Chuxia for quite a while before confirming that it was indeed her!

    Although he had no idea why she had suddenlye to Lin City, he couldn’t believe his luck that God had allowed him to encounter Ling Chuxia once again. This time, he would not let the opportunity slip away—he was determined to seize it.

    -

    Hearing Bai Yixuan speak like this, Ling Chuxia seemed a bit embarrassed. After all, he had helped her. She lifted her eyes, and her big, dark eyes looked at Bai Yixuan with a touch of gratitude. Her red lips parted slightly as she whispered, "Sir, thank you."

    Ling Chuxia’s tone was very sincere and serious, and she looked him directly in the eyes. But the gaze she gave him was utterly foreign, as if she had never seen this man before.

    Bai Yixuan felt a sting in his heart at her gaze, a tinge of pain. Although more than a decade had passed, and they had both grown up with certain changes to their appearance, not remembering each other was to be expected. But... but he had recognized her at first sight, and she had no recollection of him at all. Moreover, they had just seen each other at the orphanage the previous day.

    And to think she said she would not forget him.

    Bai Yixuan felt a bittersweet taste in his heart and a kind of unwillingness. Suddenly, he moved closer, his handsome features rapidly approaching Ling Chuxia.

    Ling Chuxia started and took a step back instinctively, her eyes widening, "What... what are you doing?"

    But Bai Yixuan simply brought his face closer to hers, his ck eyes fixedly staring into Ling Chuxia’s, and he spoke seriously, word by word, "Do you... do you really have no memory of me?"

    Ling Chuxia’s delicate eyebrows furrowed sharply. What did his words mean? Could it be that they knew each other? Yet... Ling Chuxia scrutinized Bai Yixuan carefully but could not recall knowing such a person.

    She didn’t know many people, and if she had known him, she was certain she wouldn’t forget him.

    Slowly Ling Chuxia shook her head, "I’m sorry, I don’t recognize you."

    Bai Yixuan’s brows were lightly furrowed, yet he didn’t give up, continuing, "The orphanage... You don’t remember it either?"

    The orphanage?

    How did he know about the orphanage? Could it be...

    A sh crossed the depths of Ling Chuxia’s eyes, and with a frown, it seemed as though she suddenly remembered something. She looked straight at Bai Yixuan, "Oh, I remember now, I... ."

    She remembered?

    Bai Yixuan’s eyes widened, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but lift.
