Kong Yun warmly pulled me over and brought me to meet all sorts of guests.
“Nanxing, this gown of yours was flown in from France, right? I saw it when I was in Milan. At that time, it wasn’t on sale yet. When I got the news, you were already wearing it. However, only your temperament can bring out the beauty of this gown. Therefore, this gown is really perfect for you!” Kong Yun praised me in front of all the ladies.
I lowered my head to take a look at the gown that Daisy had carefully selected. I didn’t expect it to be such a rare item. The criteria for picking this dress wasn’t its price. It was because I was too thin, and this was the only piece of clothing that suited me the best.
I smiled frankly. “The housekeeper helped me choose this. I’m new here, so I don’t understand the customs. Forgive me for being rude.”
Kong Yun immediately beamed and said to everyone, “Nanxing, I like you the first moment I see you. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll come for them!”
All the ladies quickly followed suit and tried to be friendly with me. I felt quite ashamed.
More guests arrived. Kong Yun introduced a few to me before she wandered off to entertain the guests.
I held a cup of fruit juice in my hand and listened to the gossip. It was quite interesting. I liked the feeling of being in a crowd. Humans were group creatures. It was better to be in a group… even if it was just to listen to them brag! It felt great to be alive!
However, the air was not so good when there were too many people. I felt suffocated from the haze of perfumes. I was still not used to such a big crowd.
I held my fruit juice and slowly moved to the door. I looked up and saw a huge garden outside. I could not help but feel happy. I walked out. I took a deep breath of fresh air and felt much better.
“Nanxing!” A warm and pleasantly surprised voice sounded behind me.
I turned around and saw Gu Nian with a face full of joy.
“Is it really you? I saw you upstairs just now. I wondered it was your doppelganger. But it’s really real!” Gu Nian’s joy was sincere. It was so radiant that I couldn’t ignore it.
“Hello, Gu Nian.” I greeted him. I hadn’t seen him since that day, and I wasn’t well-informed about his news.
Gu Nian took a few steps forward to look at me. He sighed. ��Nanxing, it feels like we’ve survived a lifetime. I can’t believe that I will be able to talk to you face-to-face with you like this again. Life is truly amazing.”
I smiled. “It’s a pity that I can’t remember the past.”
He shook his head with a smile. “It doesn’t matter. We can start over from a blank slate. It’s a good thing that you can’t remember me or anyone else. This way, it’s fair.”
I looked at him. “Are you referring to Jing Tian?”
His expression changed abruptly. “Do you remember Jing Tian?”
I shook my head while looking at his expression. “I don’t.”
His expression changed slightly. “Nanxing, I also want to forget all about the past. I’ll be so happy if I can only remember you and forget all about the rest. Amnesia is also a kind of happiness.”
“You don’t need to forget the rest. You only want to forget me, right?” A cold voice interrupted.
A cold beauty behind Gu Nian stared at me with eyes full of hatred.
I was shocked.
