The voice was very familiar. Li Shu looked in the direction of the sound and sure enough, it was Chen Wanying.
Li Shu didn’t show much reaction, but Shen Yu felt a slight headache. What a coincidence, running into Chen Wanying like this.
Chen Wanying obviously knew about Mo Yanzhi’s condition. She looked at Li Shu smugly where Mo Yanzhi couldn’t see, as if saying, “So what if you have Brother Mo’s heart? He has completely forgotten about you now. Everything you did in the past will be in vain.”
She was so complacent that she didn’t notice that something was wrong with Mo Yanzhi ever since Li Shu came in.
“Miss Chen, could you please step aside for a moment?” In this strange atmosphere, Shen Yu had to speak up.
“I…”
Chen Wanying had just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Mo Yanzhi’s calm voice. “Leave.”
The rest of her words got stuck in her throat. Chen Wanying widened her eyes in disbelief. She looked at Mo Yan, trying to see something on his face, but reality disappointed her. Mo Yanzhi showed no extra expression on his face. Furthermore, his eyes always remained on Li Shu.
It’s like this again. As long as Li Shu was present, Mo Yanzhi wouldn’t give anyone else his attention. No matter how much she tried to please him for these past few days, helping him with everything, it was no match for Li Shu’s mere appearance.
Although unwilling in her heart, Chen Wanying still had to maintain a generous demeanor on her face. She tidied her hair and said softly, “Then I’ll wait outside. Just call me if you need anything.”
Mo Yanzhi had no intention of paying her any extra attention. After speaking, his eyes returned to Li Shu. There was no memory of this person’s existence, but he couldn’t divert his attention away from the young man.
Shen Yu brought him, so his background must be clean. Shen Yu wouldn’t lie to him about this matter. Therefore, this must be the person he used to like.
When he suddenly learned that he had a lover, Mo Yanzhi felt somewhat repulsed. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted like he didn’t know anything despite Shen Yu’s several hints. Privately, he had watched Li Shu’s videos, but the person in the videos didn’t evoke any emotions in him. At that time, he thought that he might not like this little star as much.
In that case, forgetting was forgetting.
After seeing the person, Mo Yanzhi realized he was wrong, very wrong. He couldn’t find any fragments related to the young man in front of him from his memory, but the intense emotions didn’t seem fake. From the moment he saw the person, he wanted to hide him away in a place only he could see.
Possessiveness.
He felt possessive towards this young man named Li Shu. What did that mean?
A person only develops possessiveness under one condition— when they fall in love with someone, not just like, but a deeper kind of love.
Mo Yanzhi had always scoffed at love at first sight, but now he had become the very existence he once scorned. Regardless of his past relationship with Li Shu, the moment they met again, he heard the voice of flowers blooming deep within his heart. The seeds buried within him had broken through the soil and grown wildly, filling his heart completely in a very short time.
Eyes are the hardest to hide emotions. Mo Yanzhi didn’t want to hide. He looked at Li Shu, and the scrutiny in his eyes, which had completely disappeared at some point, gradually became hot and lingering.
This was the gaze Li Shu was familiar with.
Shen Yu was standing beside Li Shu, and naturally saw the change in his friend’s eyes. Just as he was about to ask, “Have you remembered something?” he heard his friend’s voice.
Mo Yanzhi: “I want to hear about our past.”
Okay, it seems he over thought it. If he had really remembered, why would he speak in this tone?
Shen Yu thought Li Shu would follow along with his friend’s words and talk about what had happened between them, but he never expected that this person was also a master who did not follow common sense.
Li Shu crossed his arms and looked coldly at the man half-leaning on the bed. “There’s nothing to say. It was just a transaction. You paid, and I… “
The meaning was reached before the words were fully expressed. This kind of relationship is very common in the entertainment industry. Mo Yanzhi was obviously not satisfied with the answer, and frowned and retorted: “Impossible.”
Li Shu: “Nothing is impossible. Assistant Xu can testify to this. If you don’t believe it, you can ask him.”
Mo Yanzhi still refused to believe it. “If it was really just a monetary transaction between us, I wouldn’t have been so deeply moved when I saw you. Indeed, I have no memory of anything related to you, but the feeling can’t be fake. I believe in intuition.”
Not only Mo Yanzhi, but Shen Yu also thought Li Shu’s words contained too much information. He originally thought his friend had really won someone over, but now it seemed not.
“President Mo, I’m afraid this time you will be disappointed,” Li Shu walked to the bedside and looked down at the man with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. “It’s just a straightforward transaction between us, just like negotiating business. The price you offered satisfied me the most, so we had a period of, um… so-called love.”
The development of the situation completely stunned Shen Yu. He couldn’t understand Li Shu’s intentions. Li Shu’s attitude wasn’t like this when he arrived. His concern for Mo Yanzhi didn’t seem fake. Why say such things now?
Mo Yanzhi looked up into Li Shu’s eyes. They were a pair beautiful eyes, he had seen these eyes more than once in his dreams. They were sad or happy, crying or laughing, but they had never been like this…without any trace of emotion. They looked at him as if he were a complete stranger.
A dense pain spread in his heart, as if it was being pricked by countless needles again and again. Something important seemed to be slipping away from him. He reached out, but only grasped a vague shadow.
No—
“It’s not like that,” Mo Yanzhi grabbed Li Shu’s hand, his gaze intense. “I won’t argue about what you said. Perhaps I did something unforgivable in the past, and I won’t defend myself. But if you insist on making me take responsibility for all those mistakes now, fine, I’ll make it up to you one by one. So please, don’t leave me.”
Li Shu’s eyes slowly widened, and the sarcasm in his eyes was slowly replaced by astonishment.
Seeing this, Mo Yanzhi persisted, “Our beginning may not have been so beautiful, and it might have been a disaster for you. Forgetting all this is my fault, and I’m willing to spend the rest of my life making up for it. Li Shu, Shu Shu, would you give me this chance?”
The words echoed in Li Shu’s mind, and 1314 exclaimed: [Why is it as if the protagonist gong lost his memory but changed personalities?]
It wasn’t just 1314 who was shocked, Shen Yu was hit even harder. He had known Mo Yanzhi for a long time and had never seen him like this. Was this still the Mo Yanzhi he knew, or had someone else taken his place?
Shen Yu felt that the impact he had received these past few days was greater than in the past thirty years combined. First, his friend inexplicably lost his memory of someone, and now there was this scene. No, it should be said that from the moment Li Shu appeared, his friend began to challenge his understanding of him with every little thing.
It was just that this time, the impact was particularly harsh.
As if startled by Mo Yanzhi’s words, it took Li Shu a while to find his voice, “Do you even know what you’re saying?”
Mo Yanzhi: “I know exactly what I’m saying and what I want.”
These words left Li Shu momentarily speechless. He had said these things to test the waters, feeling that Mo Yanzhi’s amnesia this time was not an accident. He didn’t expect to hear such a response. His attempt to probe yielded a confession instead, leaving Li Shu unsure of what to say.
Li Shu remained silent, and looked at Mo Yanzhi with a complex expression. After losing his memory, he could fall in love the first time they met again, Li Shu couldn’t be so bold as to think it was just an accident.
But both Mo Yanzhi and Qi Mingxuan were completely indigenous people. 1314 had checked multiple times, so there couldn’t be any mistakes. Furthermore, when they first entered this world, 1314 said that this world was not the mission world it had chosen. They were forcibly sucked into this small world. What’s more coincidental was that 1314 couldn’t contact the world consciousness of this world, so it couldn’t know the complete information of this world.
Mysteries kept coming, and the mission panel showed that the mission was already halfway completed. Looking at the man who was stubbornly staring at him, Li Shu sighed slowly in his heart.
For now, let’s solve this problem first.
Under the tense atmosphere, Shen Yu slowly spoke, “Yanzhi, how come Miss Chen is here?”
He didn’t ask this question for no reason. He thought about it carefully: before coming here, Li Shu’s attitude was quite good. Why did he behave so heartlessly upon seeing someone? There must be a reason for this change in attitude. Where could the reason be? Thinking it over, Shen Yu could only think of one thing: Chen Wanying.
Li Shu’s change in attitude was most likely related to Chen Wanying. Chen Wanying had once regarded herself as Mo Yanzhi’s fiancée. Li Shu met her here, and it was inevitable that he would think more under the premise of Mo Yanzhi forgetting him.
“Chen Wanying? She came to discuss cooperation.” As soon as he said that, Mo Yanzhi quickly understood the key point and assured Li Shu, “Shu Shu, I’m not familiar with her at all. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask her not to come again.”
Li Shu never showed mercy to those who dared to encroach on his territory. He replied coolly, “In that case, President Mo, just bring her in once and clarify everything.”
Mo Yanzhi agreed indulgently, “Okay.”
Shen Yu watched from the side, his mouth twitching. But he couldn’t deny that this was the best solution, even if it dealt a heavy blow to Chen Wanying.
Chen Wanying came in quickly. She had been waiting outside and hadn’t gone far. When she heard the bodyguard say that Mo Yanzhi wanted her to come in, she couldn’t help but feel proud. When she becomes the madam of the Mo family, she would definitely return all the grievances she had suffered these past few days to Li Shu double fold!
“Brother Mo…”
“Miss Chen,” Mo Yanzhi interrupted her again before she could finish, “since you’re here on business, please call me President Mo in the future.”
This was not what she expected!
Chen Wanying looked up in panic, only to find the person she wanted to retaliate against was sitting at the head of the bed. His hand was held by the person she liked, and he was looking at her calmly.
There was no extra expression on Li Shu’s face, but Chen Wanying had already been blinded by jealousy and a sense of betrayal. She thought Li Shu was demonstrating to her, mocking her, and ridiculing her for overestimating herself.
“You’re just a little toy Brother Mo bought with his money. What qualifications do you have to sit here? Brother Mo, don’t be deceived by him. Li Shu is only with you for the money!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Wanying knew she had messed up. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Mo Yanzhi’s sharp rebuke.
“Chen Wanying!”
