Before the bloody lines covering his body could be exposed, Si Yehan suddenly regained his wits and grasped Ye Wanwan’s hand.
Ye Wanwan resentfully stared at her grasped hand. “Ah-Jiu, tell me truthfully—do you not love me anymore? Don’t tell me you have a lover on the outside! Who is it?”
Si Yehan: “…”
How could he not love her? She was the only source of meaning and light in his desolate life.
“And I even love you to death and devotedly want no one else but you…”
Her words were akin to white arsenic corroding his heart but they were also encased in such sweet syrup that he would willingly drink it…
Si Yehan was silent for some time before finally uttering, “Wanwan, I know you’re currently trying to recover your memories.”
Ye Wanwan’s expression was startled, and her foggy brain instantly cleared greatly.
She didn’t expect Si Yehan to suddenly bring up this topic that they had been purposefully avoiding for so long.
Si Yehan knew…
“The thing I regret most in my life is that time I forced you in Jin Garden. I’m sorry. I should’ve apologized to you a long time ago. This kind of event should’ve been wonderful and shouldn’t have occurred under those circumstances.” Si Yehan’s voice was brimming with sorrow.
Ye Wanwan reflexively asked, “If it shouldn’t have occurred under those circumstances, then under what circumstances should it have occurred?”
Si Yehan answered with difficulty, “If you recover your memories one day and still think… still think that… the one you like is me…”
Ye Wanwan’s face paled. “By that time, I’ll be a corpse and the weeds at my grave will be taller than my son!”
Si Yehan: “…”
In truth, he still had a dose of the antidote prescribed to him by a doctor he found for security measures. The doctor successfully developed it not too long ago and said there was a 90% chance of curing the gu if she took it.
And so, Si Yehan started, “I have an antidote here. You can take it now…”
As soon as Ye Wanwan heard that, she pushed him forcefully back onto the sofa without any hesitation.
Excitement radiated from her eyes and she smacked a kiss on his face. “Really? I can take the antidote now?”
Si Yehan: “…”
I wasn’t talking about… this kind of antidote…
However, Ye Wanwan didn’t want to listen to his explanation and swiftly pulled open his collar with her fingers.
Si Yehan had too many misgivings right now. After all, this love gu was abnormally dangerous and truly didn’t allow for any errors. He couldn’t risk her life.
His mind instantly cleared and he was about to push her away when something flashed across his vision, as though an object had fallen from her neck and started swinging in front of his eyes.
This is…
He discovered the new red rope around Ye Wanwan’s neck earlier, but he didn’t know what was hanging from the rope since the object was hidden by her clothes.
Due to Ye Wanwan’s actions just now, the object hanging from the red rope fell out and it turned out to be… his cufflink!!!
He absolutely wouldn’t mistake that familiar obsidian cufflink! It was the one he donated to the charity banquet.
Si Yehan incredulously stared at the cufflink, his throat turning dry and his icy blood warming and suddenly starting to boil.
His cufflink had been hooked with a red rope and was closely worn around her neck, demonstrating just how much she treasured it.
Knowing this caused his heart to wildly beat to the point of turning him numb…
