Late night

Yan Shu was lying on the bed, the expression on Jiang Ci's face when he left today kept appearing in his mind, and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She spoke so bluntly today, Jiang Ci probably won’t come to see her again, right?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the window in the house creaked and a dark shadow leaped into the house.

Yan Shu's nerves tensed up instantly, and he held his breath as he listened to the footsteps slowly approaching the bed.

Just as the black shadow approached, Yan Shu swung out several silver needles at lightning speed, and with his other hand he raised a high-intensity flashlight and shone it on the man's face.

Suddenly, a strong light shone directly on his face. The black shadow immediately closed his eyes and dodged to the end of the bed. He used the bed curtain to avoid the silver needle shot by Yan Shu, and then pounced forward and pressed Yan Shu down on the bed.

"Sister-in-law, you were still a little slow. If you had spread the poison like you did last time, I might be the one being held down now."

Yan Shu looked at the extraordinary face in front of him and frowned without comment.

"I thought what I said during the day was clear enough. Can't my uncle understand what I'm saying?"

Jiang Ci grasped Yan Shu's slender wrist with one hand, lifting both her arms above her head so that she could not move. With the other hand, he supported himself on the side of the bed, staring down at her condescendingly.

"I am not satisfied with what my sister-in-law said during the day. I will give you another chance to answer again."

Yan Shu said angrily: "Are you threatening me?"

Jiang Ci smiled faintly, leaned over to Yan Shu's ear and said, "Sister-in-law and I have known each other for such a long time, you should know my temper. If you dare to marry me, I will snatch you away. Whoever you marry, I will kill. Sister-in-law has worked hard to balance the relationship between me and the Liu family, so you don't want to see me murderous towards the Liu family, right?"

Yan Shu's heart trembled violently. He was indeed threatening her, and his words were hitting the vital points accurately.

If she dared to say that she wanted to get engaged to Liu Hanyue, he would definitely keep his word and go and grab the marriage.

"Jiang Ci, do you remember something?"

She really couldn't understand why he still had such an obsessive possessiveness towards her even though he had lost his memory?

It was originally thought that Jiang Ci would completely forget her existence after losing his memory, and they would never have any contact again, and he would start a new chapter in his life, but the reality was completely off track.

Jiang Ci stared at her with a gloomy gaze and chuckled twice.

"Why don't people around me want me to remember you? Even you think so, right? So I didn't lose my memory due to injury, but someone erased part of my memory."

Yan Shu's whole body trembled, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Ci sighed softly, buried his face in the crook of Yan Shu's neck and took a deep breath.

"During the time when I lost my memory, I often dreamed of a woman. I could never see her face clearly, but I could feel that I was particularly happy when I was with her. People around me told me that person was Wei Yang, trying to make me accept this fact, but the first time I saw Wei Yang, I knew that the woman in the dream was not her."

Listening to Jiang Ci's narration of his experience after losing his memory, Yan Shu's eyes felt sore and crystal tears slowly slid down the corners of his eyes. When Jiang Ci's cheek touched the warm liquid, his heart ached.

He gently raised his hand to touch her delicate cheek and wiped away the trace of tears.

"Be good, don't cry. It makes me sad."

Yan Shu sniffed and raised his hand to wave Jiang Ci's hand away.

"What on earth do you want to do? How can a grown man sneak into a woman's bedroom late at night? Now my uncle is the most sought-after candidate in Xinyang Prefecture. If this matter gets out, wouldn't it destroy his reputation?"

Jiang Ci disagreed: "The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. If you are afraid of losing your reputation, how about I come to your house tomorrow to propose marriage?"

Seeing that his good reputation had no effect on Jiang Ci, Yan Shu sighed helplessly.

"Get up first, and let's talk."

Jiang Ci looked at her silently and slowly got up from her.

Yan Shu was free and sat up swiftly.

Jiang Ci said: "Let's talk about you and Liu Hanyue first."

Jiang Ci's threat was still ringing in his ears. Yan Shu pondered for a moment and told the truth.

"The engagement is fake."

Jiang Ci stared at her coldly: "So you want to pretend to be engaged to Liu Hanyue to put an end to my thoughts?"

Yan Shu knew that even if he didn't admit it at this time, Jiang Ci had already seen through her purpose.

Seeing Yan Shu's silent response, Jiang Ci chuckled twice, with a slightly hurt look on his face.

"Why do you do this? Do I really disgust you so much?"

Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci calmly: "I made it very clear that night. There is a huge gap between our statuses. You have too much responsibility on your shoulders. If you make a mistake, you may fall into the abyss and be doomed. I have my own family to protect, and I don't want them to be in danger because of you."

"Is this why you left me?"

Yan Shu took a deep breath and continued, "Also..., if you succeed in taking that position in the future, you will definitely recruit more concubines to stabilize the court. I... I have mysophobia, and I cannot share my toothbrush with men, so from all aspects, you do not meet my standards for choosing a spouse."

After mustering up the courage to say this, she carefully raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Ci. Although the room was pitch black, she still couldn't help but shivering.

I felt a chill coming from the man opposite me, and his eyes looked murderous.

"Oh, sister-in-law really knows how to plan ahead. She has already imagined the consequences of things that haven't happened yet. Are you so sure that my harem will be filled if I take that position?"

"Ever since ancient times, which emperor didn't have three thousand beauties in his harem? Even if you are sincere to me now, who can guarantee that you won't change in the future? I have to think about these things in advance. Jiang Ci, I don't have any ambitions, and I don't seek to be rich and powerful. I just want to live a stable life as an ordinary person. Now that you have lost your memory, can't we just treat each other as strangers?"

Jiang Ci said coldly: "Is this what you really think?"

"Yes, I don't want to have too much interaction with you anymore. I just hope you can stay as far away from my life as possible."

The light in Jiang Ci's deep eyes is hard to fathom.

"So it wasn't my grandfather who forced you to leave, but you willingly joined forces with him, just to make me completely forget you?"

Yan Shu slowly closed his eyes and said simply, "Yes!"

Jiang Ci snorted and raised his hand to pinch her jaw hard.

"Look me in the eyes and say it again."

Yan Shu was forced to look up and stare at Jiang Ci. She endured the pain in her jaw and said word by word: "No matter how many times I say it, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, so I cleared all the memories about me. Are you satisfied?"

The corners of Jiang Ci's lips slowly rose, and a seductive cold light flashed in his eyes.

"I provoked you and you still want to get away with it. Sister-in-law is really naive."

Yan Shu's heart beat faster, and his hands hanging by his sides tightly grasped the corners of his clothes.

"I never meant to provoke you. If you want to take revenge on me, just kill me."

Jiang Ci sneered twice, and the hand that was pinching Yan Shu's chin slowly moved down and stopped on her slender neck.

"Such a thin neck, I can break it with just a little force, but how can I bear to kill my sister-in-law? You are the one I like, I will only love you well. When I saw you holding the child today, your eyes were particularly gentle. At that time, I was thinking, what would it be like if you were pregnant with our child?"

Yan Shu met Jiang Ci's smiling eyes and felt a chill in his heart.

The young man in front of her seemed a little unfamiliar to her. She had never seen such a sinister and evil side of Jiang Ci, and he would never speak to her in such a threatening tone before.

Jiang Ci's slender hand slowly moved down Yan Shu's neck, and Yan Shu's whole body stiffened.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you behave I won't hurt you. But if you say anything that makes me unhappy again, I can't promise what I will do."
