"Tingzhou, there have been many unpleasant things in the past, but there were also many happy memories. Now that we are together, let’s not dwell on the past. We are happy now, aren’t we? We have a lovely daughter, and there’s the wedding we are about to have."
"I just feel...uncomfortable in my heart." Fu Tingzhou closed his eyes, "I used to want to remember things from the past because in my memory, there has always been a woman. I could only see her vague silhouette, a shadow, I don’t remember anything else, just that shadow. I’m desperate to know, who that woman is, and why she is always deep in my memory."
The man’s voice was hoarse and deep, "What I’m sure of now is, that woman, it’s you, Tang Xi. Before, I must have liked you a lot."
Tang Xi blinked, biting her lip slightly.
Mumbling those few words.
In the past, you liked me.
"But now I am afraid, I’m afraid of regaining my memory, I’m afraid those memories are all unpleasant. How could I have divorced you? How could I do such a thing..." Speaking up to this point, Fu Tingzhou’s voice was filled with pain.
Tang Xi quickly embraced him.
"Fu Tingzhou, that’s all in the past!" Tang Xi did not want him to recover his memories either, those memories were not pleasant for her, and for the present Fu Tingzhou, it would certainly make him suffer.
"Tang Xi, so, do you forgive me? Forgive the person I was before."
"Tingzhou, I am your wife, and I will always be in the future." Tang Xi tilted her head slightly and kissed the corner of the man’s lips, looking at him through the dim light, she said, "I’ve never truly hated you, so there’s no question of forgiving."
She had been resentful, evasive.
But this man has always been a dream of hers.
An unattainable dream.
"Tang Xi, I love you."
The next day Tang Xi moved to Yunqing Apartment.
This was a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment close to the city center.
Fu Tingzhou arranged for Tang Jingyun to live here. In the morning, Tang Xi accompanied Tang Jingyun to the hospital for a check-up, and only when the report came back fairly good, with all the indexes in the normal range, did Tang Xi feel relieved.
When Tang Jingyun had free time, she was always busy with embroidery, intending to finish a pair of embroidered shoes for Tang Xi before the wedding.
Tang Xi, worried she might get tired, kept telling her to rest more.
At noon, Tang Xi received a call from Shen Duan.
She immediately rushed to the hotel.
Following the room number given by Shen Duan, she knocked on the door.
Shen Duan opened the door, "Sister Tang Xi, you’re here..."
As Tang Xi walked in, she saw Liang Qing sitting on the sofa, holding a white cane. It seemed that she heard the door opening and tilted her head to look over.
Then she immediately stood up, asking Shen Duan, "Is your friend here?"
Tang Xi looked around and asked, "Where is Liang Zheng? You told me on the phone that Liang Zheng was here too."
At this moment, Liang Qing clenched her fists anxiously and said, "I got off the train with Xiao Zheng, but once we disembarked, I couldn’t find him. He’s not mentally mature. North City is too big, and I couldn’t locate him, so I contacted Shen Duan. Shen Duan arranged for me to stay in this hotel. Shen Duan, have you found Xiao Zheng?"
Tang Xi quickly approached, "So, Shen Duan, Liang Zheng is missing?"
Shen Duan was trying to calm Liang Qing, he took out his phone, dialed his subordinate’s number, and then said to Tang Xi, "Don’t worry, Liang Zheng will be fine. I’ve already sent my people to look for him, and I believe he will be found soon."
Tang Xi calmed down, but the concern in her eyes did not dissipate.
"Liang Zheng is mentally immature; his disappearance means that it is as if a child of few years is lost. And to him, North City is a strange place." She looked at Liang Qing, "How did you and Liang Zheng end up here? Did something happen?"
Liang Qing looked in Tang Xi’s direction, realizing at this moment that Tang Xi was the woman from the village who came to find Shen Duan at her home. She was also the bride Feng Jiamei had chosen for Liang Zheng. She spoke, "Grandma Feng...she passed away. Less than a month after you and Shen Duan left the village, Grandma Feng became ill. She was taken to a big hospital, where the doctors diagnosed her with advanced lung cancer. It was too late to save her, and she passed away a month ago. After her passing, only Xiao Zheng was left at home. You know his condition, he always relied on Grandma Feng’s care."
