344, Accident (1 Update
Because this person was his Nuannuan.
He had searched far and wide, sending out people who came up empty-handed, yet he didn’t know that she was right by his side, so close, so very close, and that they had repeatedly missed the chance for a reunion.
“The first time I saw Miss Xie was in Xiaohe Village. I heard grandpa say that when she was rescued, she was injured all over, having fallen from a high place, with her internal organs damaged, and soaked in the river for a long time. Grandpa even said he feared she was beyond saving once he got back home!”
“Later, grandpa said he had never seen a patient recover so quickly and so well. Out of curiosity, I went with him to see her. That was the first time I saw Miss Xie, smiling so gently, cooking so perfectly, yet she had forgotten all of her past, penniless!”
Wang Shaoyu’s words were disjointed, as if he was saying whatever came to mind.
His heart was in turmoil.
He also understood that his affection, his admiration, could never be voiced again, in order not to cause trouble for Xie Zhinuan or draw gossip.
However, being able to accompany her like this, watching her take steps towards success, was satisfactory enough for him.
He hoped more than anything that Xuan Mu, upon hearing that Xie Zhinuan had once faced a life or death situation, would consider her first before doing anything, not to be too extreme, nor too heartless in his words.
“…”
Xuan Mu was taken aback by these words, his heart aching all the more.
“I’ve always been sending people to find her. It’s my fault!”
If he hadn’t been so worried about the implications, wanting too much-to give her a status, wanting her to be a Noble Consort if only a concubine, not tormented by the main wife, to have redeemed her early and taken her home-she would not have suffered and struggled. When they met again now, she wouldn’t look at him as if he was a stranger, unrecognizable.
Wang Shaoyu fell silent.
Sitting on the stool, he found that he had no mood for reading anymore.
Meanwhile.
Xie Zhinuan got up and headed back to the courtyard, with Xie Rong quickly following.
“Zhinuan, what was that about? Do you know him?”
Xuan Mu.
Next door to the Liang Family, the Xuan Family.
Xie Rong knew all too well.
He was probing, trying to find out how much Xie Zhinuan actually remembered.
“I don’t know him!” Xie Zhinuan’s answer was very certain.
She looked at Xie Rong and said, “No matter if it’s today or in the future, I am Xie Zhinuan, and I’ll always be Xie Zhinuan!”
As Xie Zhinuan spoke, she paused for a moment.
Narrowing her eyes towards Xie Rong, she asked, “I’m actually very curious, who exactly are you? Are you really called Xie Rong? You appeared out of nowhere, what is your real intention?”
Doubt filled her eyes.
The sudden sight of Xuan Mu, combined with the dreams she’d had these past few days, left her feeling confused.
She felt like a thief who had stolen someone else’s body and personally obliterated and denied someone else’s romance.
Her mind was a mess, to the point where she found her current self tiresome.
This feeling of occupying someone else’s body wasn’t pleasant, nor did she feel entirely justified. Sometimes, she even felt nervous about getting angry or doing some slight mischief.
In this world, how many people get a second chance at life?
Xie Zhinuan knew that this line of thinking was wrong, but her mind was in disarray.
Upon hearing this, Xie Rong’s expression slightly changed.
Looking at the sister before him, he suddenly felt an urge to tell her everything.
And then take her home.
“Of course it’s true, my identity is real, and my concern for you is genuine. You asked who I am, and actually, I am…”
“Miss!”
Yin Suwen ran over in a panic, interrupting Xie Rong’s words.
Xie Zhinuan turned to look at Yin Suwen, noticing her reddened eyes and her distraught appearance.
Grabbing Xie Zhinuan’s sleeve, she fell to her knees, “Miss, I beg you, help me!”
“What’s wrong?” Xie Zhinuan pulled her up, asking with concern.
