Chapter 1020 Don’t remember
Chapter 1020 Don’t remember
The sky is gray and the snow is falling like cotton wool.
Zhuo Minlan got off the carriage and walked towards the main gate of Beizhaotai. She slipped and almost fell. Fortunately, someone caught her in time.
She smiled and turned around, wanting to express her gratitude, but when she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face, she was so scared that she stopped talking.
"Thank you..."
Xie Yuchen smiled and knelt down to salute.
"I wish you the best of luck, Master Zhuo."
Zhuo Minlan gave him a false support and asked a question deliberately.
"you know me?"
Xie Yuchen was confused and stunned, and slowly stood up.
"I...I...naturally recognize Master Zhuo."
"Master Zhuo, don't you remember me?"
Zhuo Minlan kept smiling politely and pretended to have forgotten him.
"Have we met?"
Xie Yuchen glanced at the passersby on the street and gestured for them to come in.
"This may involve privacy. Please excuse me."
Zhuo Minlan agreed and went with him to a remote and deserted place.
"Your Excellency, do you have something to say?"
There was no one around, and she remained distant. Xie Yuchen felt depressed.
"You may not know who I am, but it is impossible for you not to remember me."
"Master Zhuo, don't you think you look familiar? We met at the beginning of the year. We had a pleasant time and it was a relief to our relationship."
Zhuo Minlan pretends to be experienced.
"My love, in the long run, we often meet once, have fun together once, and then go our separate ways."
"Excuse my poor memory, may I ask your name, sir?"
Xie Yuchen answered unhappily.
"I am the second son of the Xie family, Xie Yuchen."
Zhuo Minlan pretended to be enthusiastic but spoke harsh words.
"So it's Mr. Xie, I'm so sorry."
"I've heard of you, but I don't remember any romance between us."
"Perhaps, your ability is not that great, so I won't remember it deeply."
"Oh, look at my mouth, I'm so outspoken. I'm a person who speaks my mind without restraint. It's a habit of mine. Please don't be offended, Mr. Xie."
Caught off guard and rejected by the woman he loved, Xie Yuchen felt lost, depressed and inferior.
Looking back at that time, her reaction was unfamiliar, like a bud just beginning to bloom, and he was confused and puzzled.
Don't women all attach great importance to their chastity? Why does she seem to not care at all?
Could it be that she thinks he is not capable enough, so she is unwilling to marry him even though this is her first time experiencing love?
The more Xie Yuchen thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He immediately stopped daydreaming and asked directly.
"A few days ago, Princess Yuexi visited your house. Why didn't you see her? Is it because you learned that I was with the princess?"
"Why don't you want to see me and recognize me?"
"Happy New Year! You clearly said, happy..."
Zhuo Minlan found this irritating and quickly interrupted him.
"When you're in love, your words don't count. Don't you understand, Master Xie?"
"We may have had an affair, but I really don't remember it."
"You stopped me on the road and visited my house anonymously. What's your intention? Are you obsessed with me?"
Xie Yuchen expressed his true feelings.
"I am willing to take responsibility and cannot bear to let you down."
Zhuo Minlan's eyes were full of contempt.
"Thank you, Master, for joking."
"There are countless people in this world who need to be responsible for me."
"At my age, no one cares about a little affair, so you don't have to take it so seriously."
"I'm afraid I'll be late because I'm busy. I'll be leaving first. See you later."
Xie Yuchen timidly stepped aside, made way and saluted.
"Best regards, Mr. Zhuo."
Out of the corner of his eye, he confirmed that she had gone far away. Xie Yuchen was hunched over, looking lonely and dejected, staring blankly ahead.
Ji Feiyan smiled sweetly and walked towards him.
"Thank you, Second Master."
Xie Yuchen came to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound.
"I wish you the best of luck, Lord Ji."
Ji Feiyan was shocked.
"Oh, you actually know me, sir?"
Xie Yuchen is humble and polite.
"Lord Ji is renowned for his greatness and unparalleled wisdom and talent. Who doesn't know this? I have the honor of seeing his portrait."
Seeing him kneeling on the ground and unable to get up, Ji Feiyan reached out to help him.
"Sir, please stand up."
Xie Yuchen dodged her hand and bowed again.
"It's a busy time, so I'm afraid I'll be delayed. Please take your time, sir."
"Farewell, Master Ji."
Ji Feiyan's hand stopped in mid-air for a moment before she withdrew it.
"Anyway, Master Zhuo has already gone in, and Beizhaotai doesn't lack people in charge. It's no big deal if I'm a little late."
"Why did you chase me away, Master Xie?"
"You only want to talk to Master Zhuo and not me?"
Xie Yuchen lowered his head and eyes, without losing a bit of respect.
"I am terrified."
Ji Feiyan commanded him to stand up.
"The ground is cold, please get up quickly, sir."
Xie Yuchen responded and stood respectfully.
"Yes."
Ji Feiyan stared at him with a friendly look.
"Shall we find a teahouse, drink some tea, and chat?"
Sensing something was wrong, Xie Yuchen deliberately kept his distance from him.
"What can I do for you, Lord Ji? I have to go to Yirenqing City to work."
Ji Feiyan insisted on the invitation.
"I'm looking for you. I have something important to tell you. You must agree to it."
"Work is not as important as my business."
"There is still some time before the beautiful lady arrives at the gate. Thank you for your peace of mind, sir. I won't delay your work."
"There's a teahouse near Beizhaotai. The snacks are pretty good. Mr. Xie, why don't you try some?"
With the order from the higher-ups, Xie Yuchen had no choice but to agree.
"I obey."
"Master Ji, please."
They went to a private room in the teahouse and sat down.
Ji Feiyan spoke first.
"At the beginning of the year, I had to go back to Beijing for something. Thank you for helping me relieve my emotions and saving my life."
Xie Yuchen was completely confused.
"what?"
"Forgive me for being so rude, but when will I help you with your emotional needs?"
Ji Feiyan pretended to be shy and didn't dare to look him in the eyes.
"At that time, you were also in love, and perhaps you had an illusion before your eyes, mistaking me for Lord Zhuo."
"I cooperated with you and enjoyed myself to my heart's content. I didn't reveal the truth right away because it happened so suddenly. In my haste, I hadn't yet considered clearly what I wanted."
"Now, I think clearly."
"I want to marry you."
Xie Yuchen was full of surprise.
"No... Impossible... She... How could it be you..."
Ji Feiyan was bitter.
"Why is Master Xie hesitating? Do you despise my age and lack of beauty and think I'm not worthy of you?"
Xie Yuchen panicked.
"not me……"
Ji Feiyan was sad.
"So you don't believe that the person you're in love with is me?"
Xie Yuchen responded politely.
"I...can't quite believe it..."
Ji Feiyan acted sincerely.
"You just asked Master Zhuo, and you know that this is not her first time having sex, and she doesn't remember what you did."
"I can tell you all the details and prove my innocence to you."
"I haven't violated anyone else except you."
She opened her red lips slightly and narrated the story slowly and calmly.
"That day, you..."
After hearing this, Xie Yuchen was in a state of panic.
"Here……"
A hint of rosy glow appeared on Ji Feiyan's cheeks.
"Now, you should believe me, right?"
"The person you are in love with is really me."
"Actually, after returning to the capital, I went to Xie's house to visit you several times. However, I always backed away and ultimately never got to meet you."
"Today, God has blessed me and allowed me to meet you again on my way to work. It is truly fate."
"It's hard for me to marry someone else because my chastity is not guaranteed. Mr. Xie, are you willing to marry me?"
