Staring at the tall figure at the door, Shanguang Wan’s pupils constricted.
She was stunned.
It really was him…
Ye Yanfeng!
For a moment, Shangguan Wan thought she was hallucinating again. She clenched her hands that hung by her sides into fists and opened her mouth slightly, taking deep breaths.
She was not dreaming, the man in front of her was real!
He was still alive and well!
He seemed much calmer compared to her excitement and happiness.
There was no trace of warmth in the pair of eyes looking at her, it was like looking at a stranger.
Shangguan Wan did not mind at all. She just wanted him to be alive and well.
He was much thinner than he was four months ago. His face was more well-defined and his lips were tightly pursed. His facial features were exquisite and compared to before, it was less devilish and more cold and sharp.
He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and black long pants, making him seem tall and slender. But there was also a trace of unfeeling coldness to him.
Shangguan Wan bit her lip and said again, “Ye Yanfeng!”
His slender and beautiful upturned eyes landed on her face, as if she was a stranger. “You are?”
His voice was extremely hoarse, he must have injured his vocal cords.
Shangguan Wan’s body stiffened and she looked at his handsome face, high nose and sexy lips… It was clearly the same person, but he gave her a different feeling.
Her mind was in a state of confusion.
She could not tell for a moment if he was Ye Yanfeng or just someone who looked like him.
Looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, Shangguan Wan was stunned. “I’m Shangguan Wan. Don’t you know me?”
Did the explosion make him lose his memories? Had he forgotten all about her?
The man had one hand in his pants pocket, his gaze indifferent and cold. It was obvious he did not want to say much to Shangguan Wan and he replied coldly, “Sorry, I don’t know you.”
Shangguan Wan did not know how to describe her mood at this moment.
A coldness from her feet seeped into her heart and then spread throughout her whole body.
Cold. A chill passed through her body, making her limbs turn cold.
The joy from the previous second when she saw that he was alive turned into disappointment in the next second from his distanced attitude.
Seeing that Shangguan Wan was silent, he raised his hand to close the door.
Shangguan Wan did not know where the courage came from. She stepped forward and threw herself into his arms.
Her slender and long arms wrapped around his slim waist.
He had a strong smell of tobacco on his body and he seemed to have not expected that she would hug him and his body stiffened for a moment.
But very soon, his cold and indifferent voice sounded from the top of her head. “Madam, you’ve got the wrong person!”
His calm and indifferent attitude was like a knife, piercing into Shangguan Wan’s heart.
But she refused to let go, her eyes filling up with tears. “It’s okay. You’ve just lost your memories and forgotten about me. Or, are you blaming me for not seeing through you and Bo Yan’s plan at the base and saying those ruthless words to you?”
He pulled her arms away, and there were no fluctuation of emotions on his handsome and thin face.
It was unusually cold.
After watching the surveillance footage at the restaurant, she was sure he was alive. She had thought about countless kinds of scenarios of when they meet the past few days.
But she had never imagined it to turn out like this.
He said he did not know her and said that she had gotten the wrong person!
“Miss, I already have a girlfriend. Please leave.”
His words pushed Shangguan Wan into the abyss.
She looked at him in disbelief, her vision blurry with tears that she could not see his face clearly. “Is Bailey the girlfriend you’re talking about?”
“You know her?” There was a trace of gentleness in his indifferent eyes when Bailey was mentioned.
Shangguan Wan’s lips trembled. “You’re lying to me, aren’t you?”
The man’s eyes were full of coldness and impatience. “Miss, please leave now. I’m not the person you’re looking for.”
He then closed the door with a bang.
The door seemed to isolate them, separating them into two distant worlds. .
The hands by Shangguan Wan’s sides clenched and unclenched repeatedly…
She leaned against the door, her heart felt like it was pierced. Instead of leaving, she sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. Resting her cheeks in between her hands, she wondered why it had become like this.
Did he really lose his memories?
If he did, why did he come to Yukou Border to invest? Why did he move away from Zuofeng Mountain when Little Xingxing saw him?
Whether he lost his memory or not, she was sure about one thing. He did not want to see her.
Was Bailey really dating him? Were they together now?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan’s heart seemed to have been pierced by a needle, a sharp pain stinging it relentlessly.
He was still alive.
But he did not remember her. He had a woman he liked. She was younger, and cuter than her…
Shangguan Wan did not know if she should feel happy or sad with all that had happened.
But she knew that nothing was more important than him being alive! She should be happy.
Shangguan Wan closed her eyes, her temples throbbing slightly.
She was sitting under the sun, but her body was somewhat cold.
She felt like she was having a dream.
Or was it a nightmare?
…
Shangguan Wan sat there until the evening.
The sound of a car stopping sounded at the gate of the courtyard.
Bailey walked in with a bag of groceries and she was slightly surprised when she saw Shangguan Wan in the yard. “Y-You are…”
Taking in a breath, Bailey did not know what to say to Shangguan Wan. She heard from her brother that she was the female officer here and had great power. Even the mayor had to listen to her, so what could she do to her?
Bailey glanced at Shangguan Wan before going into the house. From the moment she stepped inside, she was surrounded by the pungent smell of tobacco.
When she saw the ashtray full of cigarette butts, a frown marred her pretty face. “Fifth Brother, Dr Jing told you to quit smoking. Why are you…” Bailey looked out, thinking that it must be the woman outside upsetting Fifth Brother!
The man flicked the cigarette ash and said hoarsely, “Make something to eat. I’m hungry.”
“Mm, okay.”
…
An hour later, Bailey finished cooking.
She went up to the man and said softly, “Fifth Brother, she’s still in the yard. Why don’t we ask her to come in for dinner?”
The man hummed in agreement.
Bailey ran to the yard and looked at Shangguan Wan. “It’s getting dark. Why don’t you come in for dinner and leave after?”
Shangguan Wan followed Bailey into the house.
Bailey had cooked three dishes and a soup.
Shangguan Wan’s heart tightened as she looked at the man who stood from the sofa and was walking over to the dining room.
His hair was cut very short, the outline of his face thin and charming. Perhaps her gaze was too heated, so he looked at her.
His gaze was clear and indifferent, with no trace of a ripple of any kind of emotion.
It was hard for Shangguan Wan to distinguish whether he really forgot about her or whether it was because he did not want to talk to her.
He came into the dining room, wordlessly pulling out the chair for Bailey in a gentlemanly manner and only sat down after she was seated.
Shangguan Wan sat opposite him and Bailey.
Bailey looked at Shangguan Wan and asked, “Big Sister, were you trying to find Fifth Brother because he looks like your boyfriend?”
