Nan Zhi stared at the man lying on the bed. He looked extremely frail and tired, but looked like a still lake as well, like nothing would be able to agitate his emotions once more.
She must have really loved him in the past. If not, why was her heart in so much pain?
It felt like an invisible hand had grabbed her heart tightly, so much that she had difficulty breathing.
She felt choked, her eyes stingy as her tears fell uncontrollably and hit his face. Panicking, she reached out to wipe them away. “If you receive treatment properly, you will recover. I’m sure of it. Your hallucinations will disappear and you will not hit me.”
He did not say anything, his eyes extremely calm.
Nan Zhi jumped into his arms with teary eyes, burying her face into his chest.
“Don’t you have to recover before you bring me to find my memories back?” Her tears soaked the material at his chest.
He did not show anything from the start, and did not have any reaction.
It was like he had closed off his consciousness and had lost all feeling to everything outside.
Nan Zhi felt an infinite amount of panic and helplessness swarm in her heart.
What would the past her do?
Why couldn’t she remember anything?
Just as she was about to start hyperventilating, his impassive voice rang above her head. “Don’t cry.”
Nan Zhi looked up from his hard and warm chest, looking into his slightly red dark eyes as she moved a hand forward to caress his thin face.
Although he was visibly exhausted, he still looked as handsome and charming as ever.
Sniffling, her heart continued to wrench in pain.
“Kitten, I want to eat desserts that you make.”
Nan Zhi hurriedly wiped her tears, saying hoarsely, “What do you want to eat? I’ll go and make it now.”
“Anything, as long as you’re the one who made it.”
It was probably a good sign that he wanted to eat something she made!
“Then rest well, I’ll go back to make it, then I’ll bring it here to you.”
Nan Zhi walked out of the room, telling Yi Fan, who had been waiting outside, worriedly, “Take good care of your Young Master, don’t let other people to go in and agitate him further.”
Yi Fan nodded.
When Nan Zhi was at the elevator, about to go down, a nurse ran over hurriedly. “May I ask if you’re Miss Lan Xiaozhi?”
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows.
“The patient staying in VIP room 608 wants you to go over for a while.”
Lan Ye was probably the only person who would call her Lan Xiaozhi in the Capital.
Nan Zhi brought her four bodyguards to room 608.
There were several royal guards holding onto their guns guarding outside of Lan Ye’s room.
After asking Nan Zhi a few questions, they only allowed her to enter the room.
The man lying on the bed had a slight concussion from being hit, having two rib bones that were broken while his handsome face looked incredibly swollen and terrible.
Seeing that Nan Zhi had come over, a flickering of amusement appeared in the man’s eyes, as he said with difficulty, “Xiaozhi, you’re here?
“Don’t call me Xiaozhi. You clearly know that I’m called Nan Zhi.”
The injured man raised an eyebrow. “Xiaozhi, we were still engaged for half a year. Isn’t it a little too heartless of you to become so hostile the moment you see me?”
Hearing this, Nan Zhi almost broke out into bitter laughter.
“Why did you ask for me? Did you want me to look at how miserable you are right now?”
Hearing this, Ye Qing chuckled softly. “Xiaozhi, I just want to ask you if you’re really willing to continue to be my fiancée? After all, I need a partner to help me hide my sexual orientation!”
Nan Zhi gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing coldly. “If you’re really Ye Qing, he’s your younger brother. Why do you have to push him to the edge of the cliff?”
Ye Qing tugged the corners of his lips, but because of the injury there, it was painful every time he smiled. With the pain, his expression distorted a little. “I don’t know what you’re saying.”
Nan Zhi sped towards the bed, staring at him coldly. “You do.”
“Are you saying that there’s something wrong with my younger brother’s psychology? I merely chatted about our family matters with him. I didn’t think his psychological state would be that weak, all the more that he’d actually become someone with psychological problems. I’m afraid a person like him is not suitable to become a country’s leader!”
Nan Zhi suppressed the strong urge to slap him. “You will not get your way!”
“Xiaozhi, are you going to go against me then?” he asked indifferently.
Nan Zhi’s voice was cold. “I was never on the same path as you. Why would an older brother be so cruel to his younger brother?”
“Cruel?” It was as if Ye Qing had heard a joke, as he started to scoff loudly, before he said, “I’m merely taking back what’s mine. How is it cruel?”
Feeling that it was a waste of time to talk more to the callous man, Nan Zhi turned around, wanting to leave.
“What if he lost everything? Would you not care about that? You’ve already lost all of your memories, don’t tell me that you still love him terribly. How could a love like this exist in this world?”
Nan Zhi froze slightly.
A thought that Ye Qing might have came back to take everything that belonged to Mu Sihan appeared in her mind.
It was not only the power and status, there was kinship and love as well. Nan Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.
From what she knew, the royal guards protected the Queen and only took instructions from the Queen, but now, they were protecting Ye Qing while no one protected Mu Sihan. Nan Zhi felt incredibly sad.
She felt sad for Mu Sihan.
Taking in a deep breath, Nan Zhi looked into Ye Qing’s eyes, saying extremely firmly, “Yes, no matter what, no matter if he’s rich or poor, I will face it all with him.”
Ye Qing burst into laughter.
He clearly did not believe Nan Zhi’s words.
How would there be a woman so loyal to her relationship in this world? Not to mention, she didn’t even remember the man anymore. It was simply ridiculous.
On Nan Zhi’s way back to the Qiao family castle, Ye Qing felt even more horrified, the more she thought about it.
This man was terrifying.
From the start, he had brought her to the island and made her lost her memories, just to make Mu Sihan turn into this soulless, shell of a person.
He waited until Mu Sihan’s psychological state was about to be completely destroyed to appear again, before he gave Mu Sihan the strongest blow!
Was someone like this really Mu Sihan’s real older brother?
His soul under that handsome appearance was terribly ugly!
…
Back at the Qiao family castle.
Nan Zhi had just entered the living room when she heard Madam Qiao and Qiao Yanze quarreling.
“What drug did that vixen give you exactly? You actually want to get engaged with her? Do you know of her background? Do you think she’s deserving to enter our Qiao family?”
“Mom, stop talking about her background. Did she ask for her poor background? Besides, I’m capable, so I don’t need a marriage from a family that’s on par with us. Why is your thinking so conservative?”
Madam Qiao was terribly angry. “You are calling me conservative? Yanze, I’m doing this for your good. With your qualities, you can get any woman you want, why must it be that Xiao Ying?”
“Mom, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Ying is pregnant. If you don’t agree with me getting engaged to her, then you can forget about our child calling you Grandma.”
Madam Qiao was so furious she staggered back several steps back at his words.
