Chapter 769: Chapter 767: Sorry to Keep You Waiting_1

"You said you lost your memory, didn’t you?"

"Now, have you remembered everything?"

Seeing his confusion, Cheng Youyou hurriedly explained, "Brother Yichuan, I’ve remembered everything, all of it. Don’t ask me how I remembered; it just came back to me after the sleep I just had."

As for the other things in her dreams, Cheng Youyou didn’t plan to tell him.

Because she was truly foolish.

She was too ashamed to speak of it.

As for those who betrayed and deceived her, she, Cheng Youyou, would definitely make them pay the price they deserve!

A malevolent and terrifying hatred emerged from the depths of Cheng Youyou’s eyes.

Although it was just a dream, the pain of having her kidney removed was something she could recall easily as excruciating whenever she closed her eyes.

And he had just died in front of her...

Pain!

More painful than anything else!

She wished she could destroy everything!

A bloodthirsty malevolence radiated from Cheng Youyou’s entire being.

"Youyou, what’s wrong with you?" Lu Yichuan, although immersed in the joy of the girl regaining her memory, didn’t miss the hostility on her face.

Moreover, he faintly felt that the girl seemed to have become someone else.

She previously had an air of innocence, but now she appeared to have grown up overnight, becoming much more mature and composed.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Youyou restrained the overwhelming hatred in her heart, wiped away her tears, and changed the subject, "It’s nothing, I’m just a bit curious how I suddenly regained my memory."

Lu Yichuan didn’t continue to question her, and gently reached out to touch her head, "Perhaps the shock tonight triggered a change in the brain."

After all, the brain is wonderfully complex, and although the chances of such a situation occurring are rare, it’s not impossible.

"Almost..."

Cheng Youyou nodded, her gaze clinging to his face, longing for him.

He was still alive, which was wonderful.

This time, she would never repeat the same mistake and cause his death again.

At that thought, the bone-eroding, suffocating pain surged up once more, and her crying was filled with a heavy sense of apology, "Brother Yichuan, I’m so sorry! I’m really sorry!"

"What are you apologizing for, you didn’t intend to lose your memory, it was the high fever that caused it, I don’t blame you," Lu Yichuan thought she was apologizing for that reason, and quickly extended his fingertip to dry her tears.

Though he was a man, his fingertips were exceptionally soft, as tender as the finest silk, wiping away her tears without a trace left behind.

"Don’t cry anymore, your eyes are almost redder than a rabbit’s."

He tapped her nose and smiled softly at her.

Cheng Youyou felt embarrassed, quickly sniffed, and held back the tears so he wouldn’t keep teasing her like this.

Lu Yichuan embraced her again, his voice restrained with pain, "Youyou, do you know, ever since we lost contact, I have been searching for you continuously."

He had to choke back his emotions twice before finishing the sentence.

Cheng Youyou’s nose and heart both soured in an instant, "I’ve made you wait so long..."

Fate really knew how to mock people, making her forget him alone, while he couldn’t forget her at all.

"Then I’ll punish you to stay by my side for the rest of your life, to compensate me!" Lu Yichuan cupped her tender and delicate face, his tone commanding.

Cheng Youyou met his gaze, their fingers interlocking, "Okay, I promise you, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life to compensate you!"

The man who received the answer was like a child in kindergarten who had received candy, his handsome face revealing a genuine smile from the depths of his heart.

Bowing his head, he couldn’t resist and kissed her.

The girl’s water-clear pupils widened in surprise, like a frightened deer in the woods.

Her expression made the man even more unable to restrain himself, and his kissing became more intense.

Not knowing how much time had passed, when he saw she was almost out of breath, he finally let her go, a look of both pain and amusement on his face, "Haven’t you ever been kissed before? Don’t you know how to breathe?"

"Of course not!" Cheng Youyou glared at him in embarrassment before covering her face, too ashamed to look at him anymore.

Although she had a fiancé, it was only an arranged marriage between families. She didn’t love him, and she had never done anything beyond the line with him.

Hearing this, Lu Yichuan couldn’t help but chuckle with immense pleasure.

He didn’t mind the girl’s past experiences, but he couldn’t help feeling happy when he heard her say that, his lips uncontrollably curling into a smile.

Cheng Youyou, seeing him laugh endlessly, became even more annoyed and snorted, "As for you, your kissing is so practiced, have you had a lot of girlfriends?"

Her tone became more and more acidic, and increasingly aggrieved.

With him being so handsome and from such a good family, she figured he must have been embraced by countless girls since he was young.

He might even have been with someone...

The more Cheng Youyou thought about it, the more depressed she became, almost drowning in the pangs of jealously at the bottom of her heart.

However, she didn’t blame him, because after all, it was she who had first forgotten him.

And she had even caused him harm.

It was just that she loved him, so it was inevitable that she would feel jealous.

"What are you thinking about now in that head of yours?" Seeing her jealousy, Lu Yichuan couldn’t help feeling both amused and delighted, promptly clarifying his innocence, "Don’t think nonsense. In my life, I’ve only liked you, and I haven’t had any relations with any other girls besides you."

"Then how are you so adept at it?" Cheng Youyou asked, feeling gloomy.

Lu Yichuan answered with a slightly unnatural expression, "Some things, men just naturally know how to do."

"...!"

Cheng Youyou’s thoughts inevitably went astray.

"Youyou, tell me how you’ve been getting by these years." Lu Yichuan extended his long arm to pull her into his embrace, looking down at her with a gentle voice.

Although his secretary had investigated her, it only provided a rough outline, without specific details.

So, he wanted to know what kind of life the girl had been living all these years.

She was very delicate, without much flesh on her as if she had been mistreated.

Yet, she had flesh where it mattered.

Speaking of this time, Cheng Youyou’s eyes were tinged with a trace of sadness, "I..."

From her mouth, Lu Yichuan learned more detailed information.

It turned out that his father had kept a mistress long ago. His father had proposed a divorce and fought for her custody. Her mother had been depressed at heart and committed suicide on the day she was forced to divorce.

At only thirteen years old, she couldn’t bear the pain of losing her mother, suffering a high fever for an entire week. When the fever subsided, her memory became confused, and she couldn’t remember many things.

She even forgot him completely.

She had even been led to believe by her stepmother and Mr. Cheng that her mother’s death was accidental.

Later, because of her father’s business dealings, they moved abroad to lay low and hid their whereabouts so that no one could find them.

Until they returned after being ’laundered.’

"...As for tonight, I was drugged by that heartless stepmother of mine. She’s always been jealous of my engagement with the X Family, so she wanted to ruin my reputation and have my half-sister take my place and marry into their family." Cheng Youyou gritted her teeth, squeezing out the words with hatred.
