Chapter 40 - Forgetting

The South Bridge could not take it anymore, twisting and struggling as Yu Cen Ran held her back. Seeing the South Bridge resisting, Yu Cen Ran felt extremely displeased.

Nanqiao's entire body was trembling. His body was so hot that it seemed like it was on fire. He tightly bit his lower lip, and his forehead and neck were covered in sweat.

He was so angry, so angry that he seemed to be punishing her. South Bridge felt like she was about to fall apart, but her body was as soft as a pool of water and she was powerless to struggle.

The color of spring rippled. This was a crazy night …

Nanqiao was awakened by the pain in his body. Turning around, he felt as if his body was being torn apart. The South Bridge remembered that from night to day, Yu Cen Ran's energy was so strong that the South Bridge could not handle it.

She saw herself in the mirror, her body covered in bruises of various sizes. It was shocking, but the man beside her had long since disappeared without a trace …

Then Nanqiao got sick, the needle went into her veins, and the pain was cold. The temperature of Nanqiao's forehead and body rose sharply, causing her to feel sore all over. Her abdomen began to hurt again and again.

Nanqiao was stingy and pale as he leaned weakly on the head of the bed. Watching his family doctor and servants busy themselves, for some reason, his heart was filled with disgust and despair.

In the next few days, South Bridge locked himself in his room. No matter who knocked on the door, it was impossible for the servants in the house to do anything about it. Every day, they would only place their dishes by the window.

The South Bridge remembered the words of Yu Cen Ran's father, Yu Chenghui. He said that it was impossible for Yu Cen Ran to marry the South Bridge.

That day in the study room, Yu ChengHui leaned over and asked, "Do you think that Yu Cen Ran really likes you?"

Nanqiao didn't say anything, nor did he nod. However, he had betrayed her due to his hesitation. These days, Yu Cen Ran would frequently tell him about her feelings and feelings, like it.

However, Yu ChengHui smiled and continued, "Did you know that your father, Nan Qiankun, received a sum of money from Yu Cen Ran?"

Nanqiao was puzzled, Nanqiao was a gambler and would ask people for money every few days to repay their debts. For this reason, his mother, Zhang Fenglan, would be beaten into the hospital every now and then to ask for money from Yu Cen Ran.

Nanqiao thought it over, then asked, "Old Mr. Yu, so what do you want to say?"

Yu Chenghui said, "How could I not know what my son was thinking. Yu Cen Ran just wanted to use you to make a move against the family because he refused to marry Yu Wei even if he died. And since your father accepted the money, he sold you to my son."

After a pause, Yu Chenghui continued, "So, my son kept you by his side. This is just a deal."

"Child, he's just using you, don't be too serious!"

The words he had spoken that day were still fresh in his mind, as if they were still resounding in his ears.

Although the South Bridge originally didn't want to be with Yu Cen Ran like this, hearing that Yu Cen Ran was using him as a weapon made the South Bridge feel very sad.

An inexplicable sadness.

The South Bridge was getting more and more confused. Just what kind of man was Yu Cen Ran?

Was he pretending to be good to me?

Just as South Bridge was thinking and feeling sad, the door was suddenly pushed open. It was the man who had not seen him for many days, Yu Cen Ran.

"What are you doing here?" Nanqiao's voice was very faint, so it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The South Bridge shifted its gaze away as Yu Cen Ran entered the room with a bowl of porridge in her hand. She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. The soft bed immediately caved in.

Looking at the south bridge, Yu Cen Ran sighed, "Drink the porridge."

He said he wanted her to eat porridge, but he seemed to have forgotten who had done this to her.

Nan Qiao glared at Yu Cen Ran. He had nowhere to vent his anger on, so he simply didn't give him another glance. He silently prayed that Yu Cen Ran could get out of here as soon as possible.

Yu Cen Ran remained unmoved as she scooped up a spoonful of porridge and placed it next to Nanqiao's mouth. Her tone was so gentle that it sounded like she was coaxing a child. "Be good and open your mouth. Eat the porridge."

Nanqiao looked at Yu Cen Ran, who was suddenly very gentle to her, and could not help but blush.

Nanqiao raised his hand and opened the bowl. The bowl fell to the ground and split into pieces. The warm congee was spilled everywhere, and Nanqiao choked with sobs as she hysterically said, "Yu Cen Ran, what do you want!? What are you trying to do!? "

Yu Cen Ran knew what the South Bridge was talking about.

These few days, it wasn't that South Bridge didn't want to go out, but she could only move around in this house. Through the window, she could see rows and rows of black-clothed bodyguards guarding the villa.

Yu Cen Ran was imprisoning the south bridge.

South Bridge was already in tears.

Yu Cen Ran felt a stabbing pain in her heart as she watched. She reached out her arms and hugged South Bridge. Her voice was hoarse as the corners of her mouth dried up. "As long as you don't leave me, I will promise you anything."

"Really?" South Bridge raised his head and looked at Yu Cen Ran. The latter nodded and said, "I want to leave this villa."

Yu Cen Ran's hand suddenly tightened as he hugged the South Bridge tightly. His strength was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to crush the South Bridge into his own body. Yu Cen Ran's voice was gloomy as she said, "I already said that I will promise you anything but to leave me."

Nanqiao curled his lips and realized that he did not have much strength left in his body. "I need to go out and gather with my friends. This house is so stuffy, I'm almost suffocating."

Yu Cen Ran knew that she meant Zhan Xin, so she nodded in agreement. She called for her servants to send in the porridge and side dishes for her to eat and rest up.

After eating, Yu Cen Ran gave South Bridge a card and leaned over to kiss South Bridge's forehead like a feather. "Have a good time. Buy whatever you like."

"Thank you." Nanqiao's lips curled in a ceremonial grimace.

"Zhan Xin, how did you come up with this plan? Why is it that there's still a problem after so many changes! " The female manager was so angry that she slammed the folder on the desk.

The commotion was so loud that everyone in the office turned to look at Zhan Xin with sympathetic gazes.

Zhan Xin pulled down her face and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, manager. I will make some changes again. This will definitely be the last time. I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"

"Hmph, that's more like it."

The female manager arrogantly turned around and left. Zhan Xin stuck out her tongue at the female manager's back and called her a evil woman.

The colleague sitting next door came over and asked, "Zhan Xin, I've read your proposal and it's quite good. Don't bother with her and just hand it over to the higher ups. The manager recently got a divorce. He's always talking about it whenever he sees someone."

"Exactly!"

Zhan Xin curled her lips. Just as she was about to say that she never intended to change her phone, the phone on the table rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Zhan Xin pressed the answer button and a gentle female voice rang.

"Zhan Xin, this is South Bridge!"

"South Bridge!" Zhan Xin exclaimed. When she saw the astonished gazes from the surrounding people, she lowered her voice and said, "South Bridge, where have you been recently? Why couldn't I find you? And you and Huo Ting …"

South Bridge pursed his lips into a bitter smile and said, "It's a long story. Are you free? Come find me at the same place."

After hanging up, Zhan Xin got her colleagues to help her deal with the manager. She slipped out the door like a wisp of smoke and stopped a taxi at the entrance of the company. She headed straight for her destination.

As soon as Zhan Xin entered the shop, she saw South Bridge sitting in a corner near the window. She was wearing only a simple white dress and her hair was tied in a ponytail. The sunlight shone down on her beautiful profile, making her look as beautiful as a dream.

Only, he looked a little haggard.

"South Bridge." Zhan Xin sat down across from him and put her bag aside.

"I can't get in touch with you during this time, South Bridge. Where the hell did you go? I thought you went back to England without saying a word!"

Nanqiao cupped a cup of warm milk tea in her hands. The steam rising from the cup made her eyes somewhat moist. Her voice was covered with a faint layer of haziness as she brought her good friend into her memories …

Actually, the whole thing was just because of Yu Cen.

Zhan Xin, on the other hand, was initially taken aback before her face darkened. She then asked, "Just what is the purpose of Yu Cen Ran? If he were to give money to the South Heaven, then why would he insist on keeping me by his side?"

Zhan Xin shook her head with a bitter smile. She was about to say something else, but the next sentence she spoke was, "South Bridge, do you really not remember Yu Cen Ran?"

Nanqiao retorted, "Could it be that we've known each other before?"

The South Bridge's face was filled with doubt and confusion. Zhan Xin stared fixedly at it for a while. She felt that the South Bridge did not seem to be faking it. She did not say anything, neither did she say it with certainty, nor did she deny it.

After a while, Zhan Xin's voice drifted over. She said, "If you can't remember, then forget about it. Perhaps it's a good thing."

The surrounding students came in wave after wave, and Zhan Xin smiled. "We were like them before, youth and vigor."

"That's right!"

The South Bridge smiled brightly.

At this moment, a piece of news suddenly appeared on the TV that was originally showing the gossips in the entertainment circle. The female host repeated three times with a sweet voice, "The young master of the Huo family is getting engaged and calls him his love!"

The young master of the Huo Family? Was it Huo Ting's engagement?

On the LCD TV's screen, Huo Ting was smiling warmly like a jade. And the person who was standing beside him, who was praised as the lover of a god by the media, was actually Gu Qiumei!

Zhan Xin also saw what was happening. She immediately spat out a mouthful of scented tea, looked around, and wiped her face with a tissue. Then, she leaned over to South Bridge and whispered, "What's going on? Aren't you and Yu Cen Ran together?"

"No, that woman is not me." South Bridge replied, his voice very calm and indifferent.
