That girl came towards Mu Lan and asked, "Did something happen, Lan dear?" She looked at him vigilantly top to bottom.
He didn't bother to look at the pest. He was seeing Hua Lan's expression.
"I was collided to this gentleman and my pendent fell. He just handed it over." Hua Lan said.
'This gentleman…' he felt like laughing. Judging by her look, he could tell that this pest was her friend.
There was a time when she had no one except for him. The things she wanted to share, the things she wanted to talk about, she had only him to do all that.
And now she had her own friend.
She had forgotten him.
Then what Hua Lan's friend said was even more shocking. "So that's how it is. It's okay to attract flies from street, but don't let your husband know about this. He might get drunk in vinegar. We will have a hard time then."
He trembled. His whole body lost the energy to stand. But he still held it together.
'Husband? After she lost her memory, she married! Or maybe she didn't lose her memory. Since he got married and had kid, she must have moved on and got married….. No! How can she move on? She still loves me. She sacrificed herself because she loved me. She could never leave me. She must be forcing herself. Or she is being forced to be with some random man.' Thinking all that, his body was filled with rage.
The pest dragged Hua Lan away from him. "Come on now. We have to go back. You have lots of work to do. Have you forgotten about the party? Your husband is also missing you."
He didn't want to believe it. 'She is being forced. Even if she lost her memory, she cannot forget me. There is no way.'
To his surprise, Hua Lan smiled and said shyly, "So what he misses me? I'm not going to spoil him just the way he spoils me. I will give him hard time. It's so much fun."
'Spoils me' this phrase shot him in the heart.
She never showed this shyly expression in front of him.
He felt lonely in his heart. 'She is being loved by other man. Of course, judging by her character, any man would fall for her. He must love her a lot.'
The pest said jokingly, "In bed you two must have lots of fun."
This sentence struck him like lightening.
Marriage, spoils, love, bed…. Were they all normal? A man and a woman got married, loved each other, of course they would sleep together, even make love… would have kids, grow old….
His heart bled. His body was becoming numb.
He wandered, 'Xiao Lan, is this how you felt when I got married? Is this how you felt when I had a son?'
He loved her painful expression when he said that he was getting married to her elder sister. He rejoiced to see her broken when he got married. He was in ninth heaven when she lost all her wish to live when he had a child.
Then now that she had her own life, now that she was married and living happily ever after, why was he feeling bad? Why was he hurt?
'I wanted to kill myself to join her in the other world and here she is living with another man and bedding him! I can't let that happen. I saw her first. I had her first. She loved me first. I am her everything. I will always be her everything. I can't let another pest to take her away. I will snatch her and let her be with me. Even if I have to, I will cut her legs and put her in my bed. She was bedding him? Fine! I will make love to her so many times that she will forget another man. Anything is possible. But her living with a pest is impossible. She can only love me. She can only live with me. She has no one else. There won't be anyone else. In her existence, there will be only me.'
His body burned as he promised to take her away with him.
"Mister? Mister? Are you alright?" A waiter called him.
He woke up from daze and didn't see Hua Lan. He ran outside but it was too late. There wasn't any sign of her.
He walked back inside and wanted to check the security to find her car's number. The security manager helped him and found out the car number.
He went to the car shop to find out who the owner was. But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't find out.
He came back to his hotel and called his assistant Si Guen. Si Guen asked the IT Department of Li Corporation to find out the owner of this car.
After working for the whole night, the hackers couldn't find out the owner of the car.
Since there was no other way, the next day, he began to talk to his business partners in Italy as he wished to find out the car owner. But the business partners clearly avoided him.
He didn't know that his Hua Lan called his business partners beforehand and requested them not to tell anyone anything about her if anyone wanted to look for her car number.
The more he couldn't have a clue and more he became stubborn. In the end, he went to police station, civil office and magistrate office to find out about the car owner or Hua Lan's existence.
However, all his hard work was in vein.
He couldn't find her anywhere.
He couldn't sleep two nights. The next morning, he once again tried to go to the same places.
What he never did was begging.
But this time, he even begged the police officers and the businessmen to help him to find that girl or the owner or the car.
No one helped him.
After all they cared about their lives.
