Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 555 - 556: Two Years Ago, It Was Xuanxuan!

Chapter 555: Chapter 556: Two Years Ago, It Was Xuanxuan!

Miao Xuanxuan’s situation was indeed difficult, and Song Xiaodong was well aware of this. After returning to the city, he had always carried out his affairs with full confidence, but this time, facing a colossal entity like the Su Family, along with another, the Sun family, Song Xiaodong dared not be the slightest bit negligent.

He was very powerful and had extensive connections, but such prominent clans weren’t easily dealt with. For clans like the Su and Sun families, even a national leader would need to consider all aspects before making a move, as they wouldn’t dare to act rashly. And even if Song Xiaodong was capable, he was just one person. The people he knew did indeed have significant power, but to expect them to stand against major clans like the Su and Sun families was simply impossible.

If he could disregard such major clans as the Su and Sun families, then in all of China, wouldn’t he become the king? This was utterly unrealistic.

The next day, Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru went to the company early, but Miao Xuanxuan pulled Song Xiaodong, who was about to leave, back inside.

"Dongzi, I need to talk to you about something," Miao Xuanxuan said with a mysterious look on his face.

"What’s up?" Song Xiaodong followed Miao Xuanxuan upstairs, an ambiguous smile on his face. "Catching me early in the morning to be your laborer, huh?"

"No, no, I really have something to tell you," Miao Xuanxuan said with a serious look.

Song Xiaodong rarely saw Miao Xuanxuan with such an expression and asked with curiosity, "What exactly is it?"

"Let’s talk about it in my room."

Once in the room, Miao Xuanxuan quickly shut the door, sat on the bed, and said, "Dongzi, come and check my head for me, see if there’s something wrong with it?"

"Something wrong with your head?" Song Xiaodong was startled and promptly began to take Miao Xuanxuan’s pulse.

After a good while, he finally said, "Your body is perfectly healthy, couldn’t be healthier."

"Never mind everywhere else, just the head. Can you tell if there’s something wrong with my brain just by taking my pulse?" Miao Xuanxuan looked at Song Xiaodong skeptically.

Song Xiaodong said, "Well... if it’s a problem with the nervous system, I guess I wouldn’t be able to detect it. For example, mental illness, but you clearly seem to be completely normal."

Miao Xuanxuan said, "No, it’s not that. These past few days, I feel like I’ve been having some kind of hallucinations, making me quite uneasy."

"Hallucinations? What kind of hallucinations?" Song Xiaodong was even more puzzled.

"I can’t quite explain it; it’s like something is trying to push its way out of my head, and it’s a very uncomfortable feeling."

"Oh no..." Song Xiaodong’s face turned dark.

"What’s wrong? Is it some serious illness?" Miao Xuanxuan’s face also went pale.

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched and he said, "It’s not that. Do you know what Qingqing told me yesterday?"

While discussing his own concerns, the sudden shift to Miao Qingqing confused Miao Xuanxuan, who asked, "What did she say?"

Song Xiaodong said, "She said that she’s gradually forgetting memories from two years ago, as if data stored in her brain is being erased little by little. You’re not having such memories emerging from your mind, are you?"

"Ah?" Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes widened, looking at Song Xiaodong in shock and disbelief.

"Could it be true?" Song Xiaodong’s eyes were also wide with surprise.

The two looked at each other for quite some time, Miao Xuanxuan’s mouth twitching slightly, then he nodded gently.

"I’m dizzy, what’s going on?" Song Xiaodong furrowed his brow.

Miao Xuanxuan looked at Song Xiaodong and said, "Was that really me two years ago?"

Song Xiaodong gave a bitter smile and suggested, "Shall we do a check?"

"A check, sure!" Miao Xuanxuan nodded in agreement.

Whenever they were together, they had always guarded their boundaries, fearing that once the line was crossed, it would be impossible to explain to Miao Qingqing afterward.

Not to mention actually doing the deed, Song Xiaodong had never even explored with his hand, and he had been somewhat deliberately avoiding investigating it to spare both him and Miao Xuanxuan the heartache.

But now, this matter was no longer just about who it really was; it seemed there were far too many things involved, so Song Xiaodong decided it was time to clear this up.

After a brief examination, Miao Xuanxuan’s complexion turned ugly; when Song Xiaodong checked, there had been no hindrance, and she didn’t feel any pain at all.

"Xuanxuan, do you know what happened the first time Qingqing and I were together?" Song Xiaodong asked with a bitter smile.

"What happened?" Miao Xuanxuan lay on the bed and asked subconsciously, her thoughts a mess.

"Sigh, she was still a virgin then."

"Damn! That means the one from two years ago was really me." Miao Xuanxuan sat up abruptly.

"Yes," Song Xiaodong nodded his head gently.

Miao Xuanxuan shook her head vigorously and said, "What’s going on? If it was me, why have I always lost that memory? If it wasn’t Qingqing, why does she have that memory?"

"I’m just as confused about this; I can’t understand why this would happen. Could it be some special telepathy between twins, where even memories can be exchanged?"

Miao Xuanxuan furrowed her brows and said, "Could it really be that mysterious? We’ve never had such an experience before."

Song Xiaodong ran his fingers through his hair and said, "Then I’m really at a loss now. This is completely beyond any normal reasoning."

Miao Xuanxuan said in frustration, "Now it’s really messed up. Even though it was me, I still pushed you towards Qingqing. Once Qingqing loses that memory, she will definitely realize it was me two years ago. How will we get along then?"

Song Xiaodong paused for a moment and said, "That’s true."

Miao Xuanxuan stared at Song Xiaodong and said, "Don’t tell me you hadn’t thought about this just now?"

Song Xiaodong nodded and admitted, "I really hadn’t thought about that."

Miao Xuanxuan said discontentedly, "Damn it! Can’t you see how serious this is? You didn’t even care about it."

"It’s not that I don’t care, we are already at this stage. Even if we know the truth, can I stop wanting Qingqing? Can you do that?"

"I... can’t." Miao Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking resignedly.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Actually, this could be a good opportunity for you to stop sneaking around."

Miao Xuanxuan immediately shook her head and said, "No! That won’t work. I’m afraid Qingqing won’t be able to accept it. She can accept Yingying, but I’m her sister. She might very well choose to leave and give us her blessing."
