Yu Chen had thought of many possibilities. Maybe he would deny it, or explain it, maybe she would find a reason, but she never thought that he would actually admit it so simply and straightforwardly, admitting that this painting was his. Was it her?

"So we knew each other before, right?" Yu Chen muttered softly, but truthfully, she still had some doubts in her heart. Although the person in the picture book looked exactly like her, the girl's smile was much brighter and more moving. She had a calm personality, and rarely had such a brilliant smile that could brighten up the entire earth.

Then, was this girl really her?

"We met each other in the France, and then … If something happens to you, we'll lose contact. " Qin Mu slightly opened his eyes and a complex feeling that Yu Chen did not understand emerged within those deep eyes. It looked like pain, but also like loss.

"But I don't remember anything about the France at all …" Yu Chen moved her lips, her voice was soft, carrying a sense of guilt that even she could not understand.

Yes, he felt guilty, as if forgetting that they knew each other was a huge mistake.

"What was our relationship?" Yu Chen watched him anxiously. Actually, what she wanted to ask was, were they once a couple?

Qin Mu turned his head to look at her, reached out his hand to help her push away the drooping bangs in front of her eyes, and said softly, "There are some things that it's good to forget."

The more he said this, the more Yu Chen's doubts in her heart grew. However, looking at his appearance, she didn't want to continue asking, because the pain in his eyes seemed to increase with every word he said. She moved her mouth, but in the end, she didn't have the heart to ask until the end.

"But I forgot about you." Yu Chen frowned, she herself could not explain the feeling, she actually forgot about Qin Mu, it was simply an unforgivable thing.

"But I still found you." Qin Mu's eyes were filled with gentleness, as he tightly wrapped her up, and even forgot what she originally wanted to say. He was only submerged in his boundless gentleness, only hearing him say in a low voice, "That's good."

Find her? So, the person he mentioned before, the one who asked him to come back here, should be her, right?

So he knew many of her habits, because they knew each other.

Then, was his marriage to her a temporary decision or a premeditated one?

"When I was in the France, I missed you, so when I return to my country, I didn't want to miss you again." Qin Mu seemed to be able to see through the questions in her heart, and answered before she could even open her mouth to ask, "Whether it is a coincidence or a premeditation, I am serious towards you."

When this man seriously spoke with his sweet words to you, there would definitely not be any woman who would be able to resist him, especially when Yu Chen was already this deep inside. Qin Mu's words once again sent the small questions that had surfaced in her heart back, she even despised herself for being so hypocritical. So what if she had already planned it all this early on, she ought to feel lucky to be tricked by Qin Mu, who was so outstanding that he could make all the men in the world lose their luster.

So to say, Yu Chen was a woman that was hard to guess at sometimes. When she should be meticulous and sensitive, her heart was simply too big, and when she should be lenient and open-minded, she was extremely pretentious. For Qin Mu's possible scheme, she actually had a feeling of honor, of course, she would not tell Qin Mu about this thought, but Qin Mu was still able to see through it.

"But you never admitted we knew each other before." Just like now, what she cared about were things that weren't that important.

"I don't want you to feel any pressure." Qin Mu answered her calmly, his eyes clear.

However, his answer made Yu Chen nod her head slightly. In fact, she had been very concerned about her loss of memories, if it was anyone else who suddenly lost a part of their memories, a part of their brain would be blank, making it impossible for anyone to easily cross this threshold. It would be the same for Yu Chen, but as time passed, that part of her memories did not seem to have much of an impact on her life.

But now, those forgotten memories were all appearing in a strange way. Be it Qin Mu, or Xing Feng and An Nuo, their appearances reminded her that she had lost her memories.

"Fool, let bygones be bygones." Seeing her frown, Qin Mu touched her brow and said softly, "It's not like it's a big deal."

Only after a long time had passed did Yu Chen know that Qin Mu had actually lied to her at this time. The "nothing big" in his words almost caused him to fall into the abyss and not be able to crawl back up.

Yu Chen pursed her lips, and did not say anything. Although she knew what Qin Mu said was right, she was not at ease in her heart, especially since his words made her feel as if she had not finished speaking.

"Did I laugh like this back then?" Since the words were spoken, Yu Chen had no qualms either. He returned to the bookshelf and took down the picture book, then flipped open a page to ask Qin Mu.

As for Qin Mu, he stared blankly at the girl in the picture book, who had a flower-like smile, as if she was thinking about someone.

"Hey!" Although he knew that the girl in the picture book was her, Yu Chen still felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing Qin Mu staring at the girl in the picture book in a daze, he felt like he was looking at a love rival.

"You liked to laugh." Qin Mu said softly, his gaze landed on the painting again.

In fact, he rarely took out this picture book to read anymore, because the beauty that he wanted was already beside him.

"Then do you think that I was better then, or I am better now?" Yu Chen asked an unusually childish question.

Qin Mu could not help but smile. Was this girl jealous of him?

Thinking that she might be jealous of him, Qin Mu's heart felt like it was being brushed by a feather, it felt extremely itchy.

"Hello, now." Qin Mu's answer was very straightforward, without any hesitation.

He shifted his gaze from the magazine to Yu Chen's face. He must have liked the current her even more, because right now, there was no one else in her heart, nor was there any shadow or pain. There was only one thing she needed to learn: to accept as what he had done for her.

After the two had been silent for a short while, Qin Mu suddenly spoke again, "I am very happy that you are able to ask me like this."

The atmosphere in the office was so sweet that it seemed like bubbles could be formed. They did not know that there was a huge commotion outside.
