A trace of sorrow was fermenting in the air. Gao Jian took a deep breath, and his tall back seemed to have some sadness in it.

He was dazed for a long time before he walked forward with a stern expression on his face.

"Don't go, can you answer my question?" Her small hands tightly grabbed onto Gao Jian's sleeves, but there wasn't the slightest bit of luster on Xia Wan's fair face.

She could tell that Gao Jian was unhappy, but she just wanted to know what happened in the past. There was no one who wanted to make things difficult for Gao Jian …

Turning his head silently, Gao Jian gave a sidelong glance at him.

"I just want to know my past and get my lost memories back." Seeing Gao Jian trying to escape, Xia Wan said in frustration.

"I don't know what my past was like, maybe it was good, maybe it made me unhappy. But without those things, I always feel empty. "

Lifting his finger to point at her head and heart, Xia Wan stared fixedly at Gao Jian. Her expression was sincere yet helpless, "Here, and here, if I cannot recall, they are forever incomplete, incomplete."

"So tell me — about my past, my family, my friends."

After hearing Xia Wan's pleas, Gao Jian rubbed his forehead, feeling conflicted.

"I won't hurt you. Trust me, okay?" In the end, Gao Jian chose to conceal his selfishness. It was not easy for him to find such a rare opportunity and he did not want to give it up.

Last time when he had agreed to be generous, Tang Shaofeng had not been able to protect Xia Wan. What about next time?

He no longer dared to let go, and he didn't want to watch Xia Wan's life from the sidelines as an outsider either.

Furthermore, he could do the same for Tang Shaofeng, but coincidentally, he had lost his memory. The current him was just a piece of white paper, so why couldn't he draw a line with a thick ink?

Her fine eyelashes slightly trembled, Xia Wan saw that Gao Jian did indeed have something hard to say, it was bitter but could not be said, so he prepared to give up.

Although her heart was filled with fog and she was in a hurry to recover her memories, her instincts told her that Gao Jian was once a very good friend of hers. Even if the other party didn't want to reveal anything, she couldn't scold him harshly.

Moreover, maybe the reason Gao Jian didn't want to tell her was because he was afraid of hurting her.

"Gao Jian, it's alright if you don't want to say it right now. You can tell me when you want to say it." Since he could not rush it, Xia Wan could only give up, and did not urge him anymore.

Watching Xia Wan enter the bedroom, the tight string in Gao Jian's mind finally relaxed.

He let out a long sigh. He wasn't sure how long he could drag this off either, and all he wanted was to be able to get along with Xia Wan for even a second longer.

Gradually adapting to his lifestyle in Happy Port, Xia Wan decided to stay by Gao Jian's side for the time being and take the medicine as per the doctor's orders. Maybe, at that time, she would be able to remember everything that had been forgotten without Gao Jian.

However, although she appeared to be optimistic on the surface, she was actually depressed on the inside.

Gao Jian often realized that Xia Wan was lost all alone and sighed to herself.

He frowned, this was not a situation he wanted to see. He hoped that Xia Wan would be happy, but not like this, where a red flower was gradually dying in the wind, causing people's hearts to ache.

"Can I take you for a walk?" Gao Jian's gentle voice broke Xia Wan's train of thought, "Perhaps it can help you recover your memories?"

Xia Wan's eyes lit up, instantly recovering her spirit.

After the carriage stopped, Gao Jian's lips curled up slightly, but he still forced a smile.

With regards to the lack of memories, Xia Wan was truly powerless.

"Do you feel familiar?"

Hearing that, Xia Wan's eyes flickered, her bright big eyes flowing with light. Looking at the large courtyard in front of her, she tried hard to think, trying to find a similar scene in her mind.

His head was like a blank page, with no response at all.

Seeing that, Gao Jian laughed unconcernedly, and then naturally held Xia Wan's hand: "Let's go in and take a look, I can't see anything from the outside."

As his hand was held by Gao Jian, Xia Wan uncomfortably moved her finger.

Sensing Xia Wan's rejection, Gao Jian's smile froze, and then he forcefully ignored it.

Realizing that Gao Jian was grabbing even tighter, Xia Wan immediately looked like a frightened little cat. She nervously raised her head and straightened her back.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Gao Jian smiled brightly and said, "Quickly, look who I've brought back."

Granny Gao's voice came from far away, but she couldn't contain her joy. "Stinky brat, you still know how to come back?"

With the support of the Gauguin, she rushed over quickly, "Yo! Isn't that Xia Wan? "

Xia Wan looked at Gao Jian in confusion, but just as she was about to ask, Gao Jian said slowly: "This is Grandma, and Mommy."

"Hi grandma, hello auntie."

Hearing Gao Jian's introduction, Granny Gao frowned in displeasure, she thought to herself, Xia Wan had clearly come to the Gao Family, why is she so different? You don't even recognize her?

Seeing Granny Gao's doubt, Gao Jian lowered his voice and said, "Let's go in first and talk later."

As soon as they entered the room and took a seat, the Gao Family members formed a circle around Xia Wan.

The elders who had long treated Xia Wan as their future daughter-in-law all had warm looks and kind faces, and every single one of their actions revealed their fondness towards Xia Wan.

Carefully looking back at the group, Xia Wan was not used to it, so she slowly moved closer to Gao Jian.

Noticing Xia Wan's actions, Gao Jian smiled slightly, and then patiently introduced his family members to Xia Wan.

"What's going on with Xia Wan?"

"I accidentally hit my head and have a concussion. I can't remember anything for now." With a normal expression, he answered the Grandma Xia's question. Gao Jian's casual tone seemed to not care in the slightest about Xia Wan losing her memories.

Hearing this, Granny Gao and Gauguin walked up at the same time and pulled Xia Wan along to look around, then looked at her again, "Little pitiful child, I say, why don't you recognize me anymore?

Gauguin angrily kicked Gao Jian and scolded him: "Child, how are you taking care of me, Xiao Xia?"

"Auntie, it's not Gao Jian's fault, it's my fault." Sensing their sincere love, Xia Wan smiled as she explained to the Gauguin.

A haze flashed past Gao Jian's eyes, and he silently said in his heart: He actually wanted to take good care of Xia Wan, but he didn't have this opportunity before.

But now … Heh, Tang Shaofeng, as long as Xia Wan is by my side, I will definitely protect her and not harm her again.

Towards Xia Wan's amnesia, the Gao Family members felt heartache, and all of them treated her warmly and kindly. It was like a daughter coming home from her own family.

Even so, Xia Wan could not help but feel a headache, thinking about her own family, but she did not even know who it was.

Her charming eyebrows drooped slightly, without a trace of spirit, no matter how much she tried to force a smile, Gao Jian could still faintly feel her disappointment.

Seeing the confusion and envy in Xia Wan's eyes, he had a bad taste in his heart. The righteousness in his bones floated up like a sharp stone, causing him to feel pain from the pain.

Was he being too selfish? Was this really for Xia Wan's sake?

Then why was Xia Wan unhappy?

Each and every question was thrown into his deep and serene heart, yet he couldn't get an answer. Gao Jian, who was originally in a good mood, started to feel sad along with Xia Wan …

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt, I'm here."

"From the sound of it, it's Ji Yun that brat?" Gauguin was grinning from ear to ear, "Good, good, good. Everyone is here today.

As soon as Gauguin finished speaking, Ji Yun was brought into the room by Gao Mu.

"Greetings, Grandpa." He was holding onto a large and small bag of gifts. Wherever Ji Yun went, his manners would follow, and he would never be able to forget about it.

"So what? Why did you bring so many things?" Grandma Gao patted Ji Yun lovingly and could not help but sigh slowly, "I've grown so much already, and I remember when I came here earlier, I was only this young." As he spoke, he began to gesticulate.

"It's not that short!" Ji Yun retorted. The Gao Family members smiled happily.

"Oh yeah, you haven't seen Gao Jian's wife yet!" Grandma Gao happily pulled Ji Yun along, and said, "I just went with Gao Jian into the courtyard, I'll let you take a look later, is it okay?"

He also talked a lot about Xia Wan.

"Alright, alright, alright. Grandmother, you've already praised that little girl to the skies. I'll have to take a good look at her later." Ji Yun made fun of the old man in a glib tone, as he would usually try to make the old man happy.

Just then, Xia Wan and Gao Jian walked in.

"Xia Wan, come over here quickly. Come look at Gao Jian's cousin." Grandma Gao flaunted to Ji Yun.

The smile on his face froze, and Ji Yun stood up with a stiff face.

Although he had a single expression, he had a lot of mental activities: Isn't she Tang Shaofeng's wife? The other party was searching the entire world. Why was he here? And become Gao Jian's wife?

"Hello." Xia Wan had noticed Ji Yun's strangeness, but she still greeted him politely despite his good upbringing.

Frowning, Ji Yun quickly discovered that something was amiss: Xia Wan did not recognize him?

He mumbled to himself suspiciously. Since he was obstructing his elder's presence on the scene, he did not pursue the matter any further. He straightened his expression and greeted the elder as well.

Those strange eyes were fixed on Gao Jian, but he avoided them all.

Afterwards, the three of them were left at the Gao family home to eat. During the banquet, Ji Yun could not help but observe Gao Jian and Xia Wan.

After separating with the elders, Ji Yun immediately followed Gao Jian back to the apartment.

After avoiding Xia Wan, Ji Yun said straightforwardly: "Xiao Jian, you clearly know that Xia Wan is missing, and that Tang Shaofeng is looking for someone like a madman. How did you retrieve Xia Wan, and why didn't you notify Tang Shaofeng?"

Knowing that it was impossible to avoid it, Gao Jian no longer cared about it, "Even Cousin, if you think that I have the luck to reunite with Xia Wan, why don't you think that I have some fate with her?"

Ji Yun was speechless. He knew that Gao Jian really liked Xia Wan, but Xia Wan was Tang Shaofeng's wife. Twisting his lips, he still wanted to say something, but Gao Jian's resolute eyes swept over him, as if announcing soundlessly. No matter what you say, I won't listen.

Helplessly shaking his head, Ji Yun thought of a crucial point, "Then what happened to Xia Wan's amnesia?"

Hearing Ji Yun's doubts, Gao Jian shook his head and said straightforwardly: "I'm not sure either."

The light in his eyes gradually converged, becoming deeper and deeper. His expression became heavy as he added, "She can't return to Tang Shaofeng's side."

Without waiting for Ji Yun to ask, Gao Jian continued to ridicule him: "If I let her go back this time, there's no guarantee that Xia Wan will still experience more suffering!"

Ji Yun was speechless once again. He, who was at a loss for words, felt extremely mixed emotions. He was stuck between his cousin and his good friend once again.

He was really in a dilemma and could only quietly ask himself: Should he confess to Tang Shaofeng about what happened at Le Hong Kong?
