Chapter 118 Revealing the truth
Cheng Shuyan pursed her lips, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Yunzhi's gaze.
He almost couldn't help but ask Yunzhi who she was looking at through him.
He forcefully suppressed this childish thought that shocked and confused even himself.
Cheng Shuyan still can't understand why Yun Zhiding felt so familiar to him, even though he had only met her three times.
If he hadn't had a perfectly intact memory from childhood, Cheng Shuyan would probably have considered going to the hospital for a checkup to see if he had ever suffered from amnesia.
"Mr. Cheng?"
Yunzhi called out twice, and Cheng Shuyan finally came to his senses.
Meeting Yunzhi's questioning yet concerned gaze, he coughed lightly, "Excuse me, let's go inside."
Yunzhi nodded and limped to the entrance of Cheng Shuyan's villa.
She was a little anxious. Although the coffee stains on her body had dried, the hard and sticky feeling made her feel uncomfortable all over. She just wanted to take a shower and change her clothes as soon as possible.
Cheng Shuyan originally wanted to help Yunzhi up, and had even reached out halfway, but watching her departing figure, he silently shook his head and smiled, and then followed her.
As Yunzhi entered Cheng Shuyan's villa, she subtly glanced around at her surroundings.
The villa's furnishings match my memory.
Even the doll on the back of the sofa was there.
The overwhelming sense of familiarity brought tears to her eyes.
"Mr. Cheng, which room should I go to?" To avoid arousing Cheng Shuyan's suspicion, Yunzhi forced herself to look away and turned to look at the man behind her.
Cheng Shuyan led Yunzhi to the guest room.
"The guest room has everything you need. The bathrobe is in the closet. I'll have someone prepare some clothes for you now, and they'll be delivered in a little while."
Yunzhi originally said that it didn't need to go to such trouble.
Cheng Shuyan has a washer-dryer combo at home, so the clothes will dry quickly; there's no need for his people to make a special trip.
But she swallowed the words back.
Yunzhi couldn't explain how she knew Cheng Shuyan's family had a washer-dryer combo.
Although this is something she always keeps at home, she can't gamble on it.
After Cheng Shuyan finished speaking, he left, leaving the room to Yunzhi.
Yunzhi went into the bathroom and discovered that there was no shower gel.
She remembered that the shower gel in Cheng Shuyan's guest room was placed...
Yunzhi had just taken the shower gel out of the cabinet when there was a knock on the door. She instinctively said, "Come in."
“Miss Yun, I suddenly remembered that the room cleaner threw away the shower gel in this guest room and hasn’t put in a new one yet. The new shower gel is…”
When Cheng Shuyan saw the unopened bottle of shower gel in Yunzhi's hand, he stopped mid-sentence.
That familiar yet strange sense of unease returned.
Yunzhi looked embarrassed; it was too late to hide.
Cheng Shuyan raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect Miss Yun to have already been found."
Yun Zhi chuckled dryly, trying to appear calm, "President Cheng, the place where you keep these toiletries is exactly the same as the place where I keep them at home, hahaha, I thought it was my house, I just reached out and touched it."
What a convenient touch!
Cheng Shuyan leaned against the doorway, silent, his dark eyes filled with mockery.
Yunzhi almost slapped herself.
What does "touching casually" mean? It's like describing a thief.
"That's quite a coincidence."
Yunzhi avoided his gaze and said vaguely.
"Yes, it is quite a coincidence."
"If I have the chance next time, I would like to visit Miss Yun's home. We two are so destined to meet, maybe our home decoration styles are similar."
Cheng Shuyan's words had a deeper meaning.
Before Yunzhi could savor the moment, Cheng Shuyan had already left.
Yunzhi looked at the doorway and subconsciously clenched the shower gel bottle in her hand.
For a fleeting moment, she even had the illusion that Cheng Shuyan had seen right through her.
My brother is truly amazing; even with amnesia, he's still so perceptive.
Yunzhi dared not be careless again.
If there are too many clues, even a fool will notice something amiss.
Faced with someone who no longer remembers her, Yunzhi couldn't explain why she knew everything about him so well.
She gave a soft, bitter laugh.
It seems I need to be extra careful with my words and actions from now on.
Brother and Ye Chengyan are not the same.
Brother Ye Chengyan is much smarter.
With this in mind, Yunzhi quickly finished her bath.
She came out of the guest room wearing a bathrobe, drying her hair.
Standing at the door of the guest room, Yunzhi saw a person standing in front of Cheng Shuyan. He was frowning and looked impatient.
"Cousin, just tell me, who is this women's dress for?" Jiang Ning tugged at Cheng Shuyan's arm and shook it, blinking her eyes and looking at him pitifully.
Cheng Shuyan coldly pushed her hand away.
If Jiang Ning, that big mouth, finds out about Yunzhi, it's as if the whole family, young and old, knows.
"These are clothes I prepared for myself."
Cheng Shuyan reached out his hand to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning puffed out her cheeks.
She gritted her teeth and handed him the bag of clothes she had hidden behind her back. "You prepared this for yourself? Cousin, how come I didn't know you had a cross-dressing fetish? Are you trying to fool me? The person... could they be at your house?"
Jiang Ning stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to look inside.
Cheng Shuyan took a step to the left, blocking her view.
"You're too gossipy. If you had this much energy when you were in school, you wouldn't have failed a course and had to retake it."
"Cousin, you really know how to bring up the most awkward topics."
Jiang Ning pouted, but the more Cheng Shuyan tried to stop her from looking, the more itchy she became.
"Cousin, I heard from my mom that you went on a blind date today. Could the person there be your blind date? Cousin, you're quick on the uptake. I'll go back and tell Grandpa that he'll have a great-grandson in ten months."
Her eyes lit up, and she turned around, skipping and hopping, ready to spread rumors.
Cheng Shuyan grabbed her braid with one hand.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Cousin, you really don't know how to cherish a woman." Jiang Ning covered her scalp with one hand, turned around and glared at Cheng Shuyan accusingly.
Cheng Shuyan didn't use much force, but that didn't stop Jiang Ning from playing the victim.
"The premise of showing tenderness and pity is that you are jade. Are you? You are just a piece of reinforced concrete." Cheng Shuyan sneered.
"The clothes have been delivered, you can leave now." Cheng Shuyan gave Jiang Ning a rude dismissal.
"By the way, don't spread rumors, or you won't be asking me for pocket money." Cheng Shuyan warned as he closed the door, his grip on Jiang Ning's lifeline tight.
Although Jiang Ning is a third-generation rich kid, her family only gives her 20,000 yuan a month for living expenses, which is far from enough for a fan like her. So every month, she would ask Cheng Shuyan to help her with living expenses, which was the most humble time for Jiang Ning.
"Cousin! Don't force me to beg you!" Jiang Ning's voice suddenly grew louder, saying the most cowardly words in the harshest tone.
Cheng Shuyan sneered and slammed the door shut without any politeness.
