"Sister Qingmei, you've never been married?" Lin Qingya was taken aback and asked, "Then you and Nannan's father—"
Liu Qingmei gave a bitter smile, "I never married him, and he doesn't even know about Nannan's existence. I intended to tell him, but after Nannan was born, he stayed overseas. Later on, I received news that he had passed away."
Tears quickly filled Liu Qingmei's eyes, a mist rising within them. Lin Qingya reached out and held Liu Qingmei's hand, "Sister Qingmei, I'm sorry for bringing up your sad past again."
Liu Qingmei wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and patted Lin Qingya's hand, smiling, "Let's not talk about me. Let's get back to the topic we were discussing."
Lin Qingya nodded and smiled, "Sister Qingmei, please continue. No one has ever talked to me about these things before, it's a good chance for me to learn from you."
Liu Qingmei smiled, "Alright, today we two sisters will have a good chat, just some heartfelt woman-to-woman talk."
