No, she hadn't forgotten him.

Shen Baili glanced at him and said flatly, "My dad died years ago."

He had died when she was six.

Running into Su Bowen was unexpected. Did his stepdaughter go to this school too?

After a moment's thought, Shen Baili guessed why Su Bowen was there.

Shen Baili was silent for three seconds. "Check."

A-Deng said, "Beep, beep, beep! Checking target Su Bowen's affection level toward Su Yan..."
