Stunned and at a loss, Xia Wan hesitated.

Her gaze moved from Xiao Muting's outstretched hand to the other party's burning desire in his eyes. She really did not know what to choose or what to do.

Without her memory, her mind was a complete blank. Even if those photos could prove something, she could not immediately make up her mind to go with Xiao Muting.

Originally, she had given her trust to Gao Jian, hoping that he would help her retrieve her memories.

But now, a Xiao Muting who had a close relationship with her had appeared, her every word and action firm and forceful.

That's why her mind was in a mess, and she had too many questions in her head to think straight.

Sensing Xia Wan's uneasiness and uncertainty, Xiao Muting retracted his hand, and said in a gentle and considerate tone, "You don't need to hurry up and answer me, but if you want to find your complete self, then I, will be the one who can help you."

With regards to that, Xia Wan was unable to refute, and asked with a dejected look: "Can I ask you a few questions?"

Nodding his head, Xiao Muting naturally spoke everything he knew.

As long as Xia Wan was willing to follow him, let alone answer any questions, he would be willing to do anything.

Seeing this, Xia Wan fixed her gaze on the other party, her gaze probing yet cautious, "Do you know what happened to me before my amnesia? Also, since you're my boyfriend, why didn't you come to me? "Finally, why didn't you confess to me the first time you saw me?"

When Xia Wan voiced out her doubts one by one, Xiao Muting's brain had already started working very quickly.

His eyebrows slowly relaxed as he said with a serious expression, "First, we had a misunderstanding. You quarreled with me for a very long time and couldn't contact me. If I couldn't find you, then I'm not sure why you lost your memories."

Such a reasonable explanation made it impossible for Xia Wan to find any flaws. She frowned and continued to listen carefully.

"Second, if you hadn't lost your memories, if you knew who you were, where your family was, and what kind of relatives you had, you would have definitely left behind clues. "On the other hand, without any clues, where would I go to find you?"

Slowly nodding his head, Xia Wan felt that she was too stupid, the question she asked did not have any nutrition.

Noticing Xia Wan's vexed expression, the corner of Xiao Muting's mouth rose slightly, and she replied: "Thirdly, meeting you here for the first time, I am completely foreign to you. How could you pay attention to my shock and astonishment? Furthermore, after confirming your amnesia, I was at a loss of what to do. I didn't dare to be rude, didn't dare to offend you, and was afraid that you would think me a lunatic or a hooligan. "

Xia Wan's face reddened and she hurriedly lowered her eyes. She had no choice but to admit that Xiao Muting's caution was wise.

If the other party had abruptly offended her at that time, perhaps she would not dare give Xiao Muting a second chance to get close to her. It was possible that she would run away the moment she saw Xiao Muting.

"So, this time, I was fully prepared. I deliberately brought you here using the excuse of washing clothes, so that you could get rid of the bad grudges towards me, and gradually believe in me, and accept me."

Realizing that Xiao Muting was really smart, being able to hold onto her nose all this time, Xia Wan sincerely admired him from the bottom of his heart.

It was fortunate that she did not completely listen to Gao Jian's instructions. Otherwise, she might never be able to touch her past self.

"You are too powerful, and your mind is meticulous. You did not scare me, I believe in you!" After sincerely praising her, Xia Wan sweetly smiled.

As he stupidly concentrated on Xia Wan's smiling face, Xiao Muting seemed to be moved, and was unable to conceal his emotions well, just like how he was before.

The atmosphere became hotter, and Xia Wan felt awkward and unaccustomed to it. After shifting her gaze away, she said with a worried look, "But … Let me think about the matter of leaving with you, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible. After all, I'm like a new person to myself right now, and you're also a stranger to me. I can't accept that you're my boyfriend all of a sudden. "

The corner of Xiao Muting's mouth raised patiently yet gently. His smile was extremely beautiful, "It's alright, I can wait, wait for you to adapt, or until you remember."

Letting out a light breath, Xia Wan felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, "Thank you for not giving me any pressure, I was really a little muddle-headed just now and did not know what to do."

Knowing what Xia Wan was worried about, Xiao Muting chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of someone when they are in danger. Before you admit to our relationship, I won't do anything excessive to you."

Seeing that Xiao Muting was considerate and open, Xia Wan became even more relaxed.

She accidentally glanced at it and discovered that it was already very late. Afraid that Gao Jian was anxious, she prepared to return.

"It's getting late, I have to go back, if not Gao Jian will be worried."

The moment he heard Gao Jian's name, Xiao Muting was secretly unhappy, but he didn't let Xia Wan see through it. "I'll send you off, I'm worried about you leaving by yourself."

Since the distance was not too far, they chose to walk back to the apartment.

As he walked, Xia Wan's mind twitched, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks to ask: "Oh, that's right! Xiao Muting, I am currently living in a stranger's home, you won't be angry or jealous, right? "I'm not yours, you know …"

Xiao Muting didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He caressed the top of Xia Wan's head, his eyes becoming soft as though they were going to melt. There's nothing I can do about it. I don't want to force you.

Xia Wan, whose face was as red as a shrimp, wished that she could find a hole to hide in and quietly moaned: Xia Wan, Xia Wan, why are you bringing this up?

However, since they had already started, she decided to go all out and explain what she needed to say.

Therefore, Xia Wan braced herself, feeling embarrassed and embarrassed, she added: "I just want to tell you, Gao Jian respects me a lot, and we can get along like friends. I hope you don't mind, since the first one I met was him."

Without saying a word, Xiao Muting still had a smile on his face, but it was filled with regret and melancholy.

One must know, Xia Wan's identity was Tang Shaofeng's wife, and what should have happened to the two of them had already happened. If he cared about those superficial things, he wouldn't appear by Xia Wan's side right now.

However, the reason why he had missed it before was because he was stubborn and could not blame others.

Returning back to the apartment, the moment Xia Wan stepped into the house, she coincidentally received a call from Gao Jian.

"Xia Wan, are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Because of Xiao Muting's appearance, Xia Wan did not have that much trust in him, so during the conversation, his tone was very low.

However, Gao Jian was unable to detect it, and was still as concerned about Xia Wan as usual, "Grandfather insisted that I stay at home tonight, can you do it by yourself?"

"It's okay, I'm not a child, so I need you to worry about me."

"Hehe, in my eyes, you are just a child. It's getting late, hurry up and go rest. Remember to lock the doors and windows, and cover them with quilts. "

Listening to Gao Jian's meticulous concern, Xia Wan couldn't help but think of how the other party would always sneak a peek at her with a gaze that was filled with both heat and deep emotion when they were together.

But Gao Jian wasn't her close lover after all, so she had no choice but to doubt the other party's intentions.

Even though she could feel that Gao Jian was an honest and straightforward person that would not hurt her, she did not want to live the rest of her life in a daze.

The thought of leaving gradually became clearer, Xia Wan forgot that she was still on the phone with Gao Jian, and held onto her phone in a daze, her thoughts drifting away.

"Xia Wan? Are you asleep? "

"No, no. I was a bit distracted just now."

Hearing that, Gao Jian laughed again, he did not want to disturb the other party's rest, so he urged Xia Wan to go to sleep.

The hand that was holding onto the microphone was not willing to let go. With a conflicted expression, Xia Wan called out softly, "Gao Jian …"

"Hmm? I'm here. What's the matter? "

Xia Wan wanted to say something but stopped in her tracks.

As long as she understood some things, it was good enough. If she could expose and injure him, she might never be able to get over it.

"Nothing, good night."

"Good night."

After putting down the phone, Xia Wan didn't feel sleepy at all, instead she leaned on the balcony and gazed into the distance.

Tonight was a sleepless night. She needed to make an important decision, so where could she sleep?

On the second day, Xia Wan found a hotel with swollen eyes, and when Xiao Muting pushed the door open to look at her, an indescribable happiness appeared in the corner of her eyes.

Seeing that Xiao Muting's eyes were also bloodshot, Xia Wan knew that the other party did not sleep well either.

The two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding. The atmosphere was exceptionally cheerful this early in the morning.

"Have you decided?"

Following the appearance of Xiao Muting's question, the smile on Xia Wan's face gradually disappeared, and the originally relaxed atmosphere abruptly changed.

She did not dare to say her farewells to Gao Jian face to face, as she did not know how to phrase many things properly.

He was afraid that the other party would think that she was an ungrateful person and that she didn't care about kindness, so he left as soon as he said he would.

She was afraid that when she left, she would have to face the emotions that Gao Jian had suppressed for a long time.

Seeing that, Xiao Muting seemed to understand the conflict in Xia Wan's heart, and gently encouraged: "We can't break it, but we will suffer. Xia Wan, since you have made up your mind, you can do it a little more easily. "

With heavy blows on his head, Xia Wan answered with a determined look on her face: "I understand! But I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, so I wrote a letter. After we leave, can you trouble the hotel's staff to pass this letter to Gao Jian? "

"Of course."

Xiao Muting smiled gently and said, "I've wasted a lot of time here, let's go today, okay?"

Seeing that Xia Wan had no objections, Xiao Muting took the letter to the manager of the hotel.

When he reached the corner of the corridor, he glanced behind him and then threw the letter into the dustbin without batting an eyelid.

Even though this method was really despicable, he didn't care at all. Ever since he decided to fight for Xia Wan one last time, he had already abandoned his bottom line and had become righteous.

At two in the afternoon, Xia Wan and Xiao Muting began their journey towards Zhenjiang City.

5 PM, Gao Jian escaped from the elders' lecture under the pretext that he was doing official business.

When Gao Jian returned to the apartment, he realized that Xia Wan was not at home and thought that the other party had gone out for a stroll. Gao Jian did not mind it too much and only focused on preparing dinner for the two of them.

At 7 o'clock sharp, when the food was cold, he sensed something was wrong, so he walked out of the apartment to look for Xia Wan.

An hour later, after he had wandered around the streets and still could not find Xia Wan's figure, he started to become anxious.

At ten in the evening, Xia Wan still did not show any signs of returning home. She stood foolishly under the apartment building with a thick layer of haze covering her face.

In the wee hours of the morning, he sat on the sofa all alone, his soul in disarray, and kept muttering to himself, "Xia Wan, where did you go? Why aren't you going home? "

Throughout the night, Gao Jian kept his ears and eyes open, and kept on taking out his phone to confirm if there were any missed calls.

Until dawn, Xia Wan did not return for the entire night. His face was like withered grass as he mumbled, "What do we do, I lost Xia Wan …"
