That man was… him?
Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes were like an opened bottle of black ink – his eyes were so deep that the bottom could not be seen. He walked to the front, and stretched out his coarse finger to caress her and his faces in the photograph.
When did this happen?
Why was it that he did not remember anything?
Gu Mohan looked at this room. He felt that this room was foreign, yet familiar at the same time.
It seemed like he had been here before.
His head hurt.
His head really hurt.
There was a scene that appeared to be unfolding in his mind. Gu Mohan promptly lowered his head and clasped his hand to his forehead.
He shook his head. He thought that by shaking off the scene from his head, he would not be hurting.
At this moment, a patter of light footsteps could be heard. Someone had arrived.
Gu Mohan swiftly turned around and Tang Mo’er’s delicate, ravishing face enlarged in his vision.
Tang Mo’er had arrived.
Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes were so deep that the bottom could not be seen. He looked at the woman’s little face and moved his thin lips. “You and I…”
“Mr Gu, you lost some memories about you and me.” Tang Mo’er looked at him with watery eyes.
“You and I?”
Something emerged from Tang Mo’er’s fair hand. It was the One and Only Ring.
The diamond ring was sparkling dazzlingly under the lights. She curved her pretty red lips. “Mr Gu, do you remember your proposal vows? You said you would hold my hand forever and never let go. But when I opened my eyes, you had left, and you even have Jun Xiyan as your fiancée.
“Mr Gu, don’t think that just because we don’t have a marriage certificate means I’m not your Mrs Gu. If you dare to marry Jun Xiyan, I can sue you for bigamy!”
Gu Mohan looked at the One and Only Ring and stepped forward. He stretched out his muscular arm and enveloped Tang Mo’er in his embrace.
His soft, thin lips kissed her hair vigorously. He sniffed the fragrance emanating from her hair and knitted his brows.
Tang Mo’er used her fists and pummeled him forcefully to relieve the injustice and the despondence she felt. “You jerk, big jerk. I’m no longer a virgin. Who was my first man? Don’t you have any idea?
“It was you, you are my first man, and my only man. You cheated me of my first time in the car! Mr Gu, I’m your Mrs Gu, I am the true Mrs Gu.”
Her fists landed on his body. He did not feel any physical pain, but his heart was hurting extremely. What happened? How did he not know what had happened?
Everything was blank.
Everything was a mess.
His mind was a messy torrent of chaos.
But he hugged the fragrant, soft body in his arms. He wished he could assimilate her into his flesh and bones.
He felt like he had recollected something, but he did not know what it was.
Tang Mo’er raised her head and held his handsome face with her fair hands. Her eyes were shimmering and filled with hope. “Mr Gu, what have you remembered? Have you remembered… our past?”
Gu Mohan looked at her hopeful eyes and his large hand grasped her delicate hand. He burrowed his handsome cheek into her palm, closed his eyes, and tried hard to remember.
After a minute, he opened his eyes to look at her, and his eyes narrowed. “I’m sorry…”
I’m sorry.
He could not remember.
Tang Mo’er froze, then promptly shook her head. “It’s alright, Mr Gu, you will remember soon…”
She was just finishing her sentence when the tall and handsome body swayed a couple of times and collapsed onto the floor.
Tang Mo’er turned pale. “Mr Gu! Mr Gu, what happened to you?”
…
In the hospital.
Tang Mo’er stood at the corridor outside the operating theater. Her delicate face had become as pale as a sheet of paper.
Just now, the doctor had pushed Mr Gu inside to resuscitate him. But she still didn’t know how he was.
It was as if someone had pushed her into a deep valley. She stood helplessly outside. Every minute and every second that she waited was torturous.
At the juncture, a rush of chaotic footsteps could be heard. Someone had run over.
It was Huo Yanmei and Jun Xiyan.
“Mohan, what happened to Mohan?” Huo Yanmei stopped in front of Tang Mo’er. Her face was frosty and she questioned, “Tang Mo’er, what have you done to Mohan? How did he get sent to the hospital when he was perfectly well?”
Tang Mo’er’s eyes were in a daze. She shook her head unseeingly. “I did not do anything. I only showed Mr Gu our photographs…”
Slap! Huo Yanmei raised her hand and the crisp sound reverberated through the corridor. Tang Mo’er’s face had been slapped hard.
The nurses and patients who were walking by came forward to look. Everyone was gesturing and commenting about Tang Mo’er.
A bright red hand print mark immediately appeared on her white, clean face, and she felt a searing pain. She was stunned momentarily, then gradually raised her hand to touch her own face.
This was the second slap that Huo Yanmei had given her.
“Tang Mo’er, this slap is given to you by me as a mother. I should have slapped you earlier when Mohan took the Love Poison for you! Mohan is my biological son. On what basis should he give his life to you, and what right do you have to use his life to save yours?
“There are some things that you are unaware of. At that point in time, when the toxicity of Love Poison and the love pea poison was manifesting, both poisons could attack each other and be completely eliminated, but Mohan insisted on preserving the memories between the both of you. He did not want to forget you, and that resulted in the Love Poison attacking his heart. He nearly succumbed to it on the operating table!
“Later on, Master Miao Gu hypnotized him to take away the memories regarding you from his mind. It was only then that he was able to survive.
“Now you understand why Mohan is not allowed to recollect the memories between the both of you, because the memories will trigger the Love Poison to exert its toxicity again.”
After speaking, Huo Yanmei stretched her hand out to grasp Tang Mo’er’s shoulder, and shook her violently. “Tang Mo’er, I could brush aside the fact that Mohan used his own life to save you. But Mohan lost his memory and is now engaged with Xiyan. He was living very well, so why did you have to disrupt his life? Your appearance would make him recollect the past. You are the Love Poison that would take his life!
“Tang Mo’er, please. I’m imploring you to let go of Mohan. Mohan loved you so much. When you were unconscious, he nearly lost his life. If you really love him, then please stay away from him. This time, he was sent to the operating theater, then what about the next time? Is your love so selfish and narrow that you want him to die for you?”
You are the Love Poison that would take his life…
This statement reverberated through Tang Mo’er’s ears. Initially, she only heard one voice, but later on she heard many voices telling her so. Tang Mo’er, you have already become a poison, you are killing Gu Mohan!
