Chapter 27 – Finale (1)
Since it started with mixed memories, it can end with memory loss. There’s no need to look for a reason to break up now that things are back to normal.
When she arrived at the entrance of the Fu’s Group building, Ruan Xia should have hailed a taxi and left, but she hesitated for a moment and turned around to take a glance.
Ruan Xia has always known what she wants. Even if Fu Cheng’an was just the wrong person, it would be fine, and she would be satisfied with just being with him. But if Fu Cheng’an turned out to be a cannon fodder villain… Ruan Xia couldn’t accompany him.
Shaking her head vigorously, Ruan Xia didn’t allow herself to continue thinking about it. Her life cannot be like that of her parents, and she couldn’t let Fu Cheng’an drag her down. Even if they had feelings for each other, they might end up being completely different in the end, right?
Ruan Xia turned around and continued to leave.
In Fu Cheng’an’s office, Assistant Chen wanted to kneel down for him. He had never seen Mr. Fu like this before. It was as if he had torn apart his usual calm demeanor, revealing a terrifying and cold side of him.
At this moment, Assistant Chen regretted coming to work early today, and meeting Ruan Xia, who had regained her memory but forgotten his boss, Mr. Fu.
Fu Cheng’an : “Where is she now?”
Assistant Chen : “She has gone back to the rental house where she used to live.”
Fu Cheng’an’s voice was strained, “Give me the address.”
Jiang Hao came over, looking less enthusiastic and even a bit annoyed, “Brother Fu, my fiancee refuses to acknowledge our relationship. What should I do?”
Fu Cheng’an : “My wife ran away.”
Jiang Hao opened his mouth to say something but before he could, Fu Cheng’an continued, “She doesn’t know me anymore.”
For a moment, Jiang Hao felt like his own problems were nothing compared to this. At least his fiancee still recognized him.
When Fu Cheng’an saw Zhou Yu, even Zhou Yu was surprised and opened his mouth wide. He didn’t expect Ruan Xia to actually forget about Fu Cheng’an.
Zhou Yu : “I asked Ruan Xia about this before, and she told me that even if she forgot about you, she would still like you if you appeared in front of her.”
Although Zhou Yu couldn’t quite remember Ruan Xia’s exact words, what he said was what Ruan Xia had meant to express at the time. Fu Cheng’an was the type of person that Ruan Xia liked, so even if she couldn’t remember him, she would still like him if he appeared in front of her.
Zhou Yu wanted to comfort Fu Cheng’an, but he realized that Fu Cheng’an was strangely calm now.
Zhou Yu : “What are you planning to do?”
The tremble in Fu Cheng’an’s voice was noticeable to Zhou Yu. “Originally, we were planning to get married and get a marriage certificate.”
Zhou Yu : “Fight for it. Do you know the ultimate secret to winning your wife back?”
Fu Cheng’an looked up, and Jiang Hao was practically sticking his face to Zhou Yu’s, clearly very curious about what Zhou Yu was about to say.
Zhou Yu : “Be shameless. The more shameless you are, the more likely you are to succeed. Brother Fu, you didn’t make any fundamental mistakes, so there’s no need to kneel in the rain and beg her to see you. You just need to be shameless!”
Jiang Hao nodded in agreement on the issue of principle, so he had to kneel in the rain and let the woman soften her heart.
Jiang Hao asked, “Why do you have this kind of secret?”
Zhou Yu : “Don’t worry about why, but it’s definitely effective. Maybe she’ll soften up. Brother Fu, trust me. Don’t hesitate, you have to choose between your wife and your dignity. Think as if you have regarded sister-in-law as your wife!”
Jiang Hao : “How shameless!”
Zhou Yu : “….”
When Fu Cheng’an left, Zhou Yu glanced at Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao believed in being shameless, but Zhou Yu wasn’t sure if Fu Cheng’an could really be shameless.
However, regardless of that, Zhou Yu felt that it was impressive that Ruan Xia could make Fu Cheng’an act this way.
Jiang Hao : “Are you talking about me?”
Zhou Yu : “You don’t need to ask, you already know.”
To avoid letting people know about her fake amnesia, Ruan Xia hardly replied to any messages from people she had met during this period, except for one online acquaintance I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother.
Ruan Xia was anxious and wanted to talk to someone about this, but she didn’t know who to talk to. Although I_Like_1.85m_Handsome_Brother was a netizen, Ruan Xia was usually very cautious and wouldn’t confide in her.
The best solution would be to talk to the system, but it was currently in sleep mode.
What should she do now? She had slept with an old man who had never had a girlfriend before and had even expressed his feelings to her. Even if she had amnesia, Fu Cheng’an would definitely look for her and try to help her regain her memory, right?
Impossible. This memory is something she can’t recall.
She waited until evening and finally received a call from Fu Cheng’an. This made Ruan Xia who was waiting for a whole day felt even more at a loss.
Ruan Xia hung up, as if refusing to answer calls from unknown numbers.
Fu Cheng’an transferred money to her.
Ruan Xia : “……..”
Ruan Xia almost fainted when she saw the string of zeroes on her phone, and even had the impulse to go down and meet Fu Cheng’an for a moment.
But what would be the end result of following the villain? Would she end up eating humble pie with the villain?
Or would he end up in jail?
Ruan Xia calmed down and sent a message to Fu Cheng’an.
[Ruan Xia : Sir, please don’t joke around with me or your friends. I’m not married and haven’t even had a boyfriend. How could I have a husband?]
[Fu Cheng’an : Selfie.]
[Ruan Xia : ???]
[Fu Cheng’an : It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, we can start again.]
What kind of outrageous development is this?
Ruan Xia felt like she didn’t know Fu Cheng’an anymore. It’s a completely different personality from the previously cold Fu Cheng’an. She even doubted if it was really him who sent that message.
Ruan Xia waited nervously for Fu Cheng’an to continue, but it seemed that after sending the message, Fu Cheng’an didn’t have any intention of contacting her further. He was probably too tired. Ruan Xia fell asleep in bed.
Ruan Xia wasn’t particularly worried about Fu Cheng’an. Someone like Fu Cheng’an probably had already reached his bottom line when he sent the message, right?
The next morning, Ruan Xia felt very relaxed, especially when there was no message from Fu Cheng’an on her phone. She washed her face and went out to buy breakfast. When she walked out of the corridor, she was stunned.
Fu Cheng’an was standing outside, looking tired. His car was parked nearby. Ruan Xia had a thought, could he have been here all night?
Fu Cheng’an : “Wifey.”
Ruan Xia : “…”
Fu Cheng’an pursed his lips. “Chu~ My dear Wifey.”
Ruan Xia felt like she might not be fully awake. She even suspected that she might be dreaming, as she heard the term “Chu~ My dear Wifey.”
Ruan Xia : “I don’t know you, please don’t do this.”
As Fu Cheng’an took a step forward, Ruan Xia realized that he was wearing the outfit he had on the day they were together. This was something that wouldn’t happen normally, and even the shirt inside the outfit was still upstairs.
Fu Cheng’an : “Are you going to buy breakfast? I’ll buy it for you.” He continued, “I was thinking about going just now, but I was worried that I would miss you if you went downstairs.”
Ruan Xia felt a sense of discomfort in her chest, and she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She opened her mouth, but realized she didn’t know what to say.
Ruan Xia : “I really don’t know you.”
Fu Cheng’an’s eyes reddened. “My name is Fu Cheng’an. Before you lost your memory, we agreed to go and get our marriage certificate. It’s okay if you don’t remember me. We can start over.”
Ruan Xia steeled herself. “I’m sorry, please don’t joke around, and please don’t disturb me anymore.”
Ruan Xia went to buy breakfast, and Fu Cheng’an followed her. The two of them arrived at the breakfast stand. When Ruan Xia was about to pay, she found that Fu Cheng’an had already paid for it.
Before this, Ruan Xia never thought that Fu Cheng’an would be like this, nor did she ever think about it, but now Fu Cheng’an is gradually breaking her cognition.
The two of them walked forward, one in front of the other.
Ruan Xia : “I heard that you’re very powerful and wealthy.”
Fu Cheng’an : “It’s so so.”
Ruan Xia : “…….”
This is really too modest. What does “so so” even mean?
Ruan Xia : “Your friend messaged me and told me about what happened during this time, but the me who had mixed memories only saw you and me as characters in the script, so maybe I never loved you.” She stopped and turned around to look at Fu Cheng’an. “So, do you understand what I mean?”
Fu Cheng’an : “But I love you.”
Ruan Xia: “No, what you love is the me who had mixed memories, not the me now.” She tried to tell Fu Cheng’an that the Ruan Xia he liked was not the same as the current Ruan Xia. “It’s like the person you like is a completely different person from me.”
Upon hearing Ruan Xia’s words, Fu Cheng’an finally smiled from yesterday until now, “Wifey, it’s all the same, yesterday’s you and today’s you, aren’t they the same person?”
Ruan Xia : “I’m too lazy to talk to you. Just don’t bother me anymore.”
Fu Cheng’an grabbed Ruan Xia’s hand. “Wifey, I feel uncomfortable. I didn’t sleep all night yesterday and now I’m very hungry.”
A dozen minutes later, the “poor” Mr. Fu sat in Ruan Xia’s living room, eating breakfast with her. Ruan Xia regretted why she was so soft-hearted.
Ruan Xia : “Listen to me. After breakfast, you should go back. You really don’t have to be like this…”
When Mr. Fu leaned in for a kiss, Ruan Xia didn’t even react. He held Ruan Xia in his arms, gentle yet domineering. When Ruan Xia tried to push him away on the couch, he persisted until Ruan Xia pinched him and he stopped to look at her.
Fu Cheng’an : “Okay, even if you think you have lost your memory, you still have to take responsibility for me, right?”
Ruan Xia was greatly shocked!
Ruan Xia blushed. “What did you say? Don’t you have any shame!”
Fu Cheng’an kissed her again and his voice was hoarse. “I want a wife!”
rokumi’s note : wow, I never expected Fu Cheng’an could be that cringey
Haha… Now the role is reversed. Clingy husband and cold wife. Thanks
Great job, Mr. Fu. Give her own medicine
