When Lu Yi arrived here while pushing a wheelchair along, he suddenly felt like he had been cut off from the outside world for ages.
It was as though he had a dream and he had been dreaming for a few years. The Ye family’s airport and harbor had been closed down. What happened to him in the past few years? What had he done and what was his position?
Perhaps he had really fallen asleep and all the incidents which he did not know were slowly happening around him, undergoing changes independently. When he opened his eyes again, a few years had already passed.
What exactly was going on?
He squinted his eyes, hiding the complexity behind his dark pupils. Leaving it aside, he had to first bring Sun Yuhan there. But, he could not even remember how many years it had been since he last went home.
Could his parents still remember and recognize him?
Fortunately, he had only lost his memories and did not ruin his face. Otherwise, with his face ruined and his memories lost, he might not be able to find his way back home in his entire life.
When he stood at the door of the Lu family’s house, for some reason, he could not move forward.
In the past, the Lu estate had two courtyards which were the east and the west. Now, there was a wall in between. Perhaps it was built in the past few years as the relationship with his Second Uncle had soured. It seemed like a lot of things had happened in the past few years where he was absent.
“Jiu Yue, why did you bring me here?”
Sun Yuhan stared blankly at the huge house in front of her that took up a wide surface area. Just like a small villa, the garden outside was also very large. Not to mention that it was surrounded by green lawns.
She had always heard that the housing property in Sea City was very expensive, every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. Was it not a waste to plant flowers and grass on such a huge plot of land? Not to mention that it was Sea City. Even a small place like River Xun would find it wasteful. She thought of the houses that she had bought in a few areas. All of the houses were built closely next to each other, the developers unwilling to waste even a single bit of land.
“This isn’t the hospital, right?” She whispered to Lu Yi. Such a high-end hospital would definitely cost a lot of money.
“No,” Lu Yi placed his hands on the wheelchair and pushed her forward.
“So, where is this?”
Sun Yuhan opened her mouth, not knowing where her voice come from. This place was felt strange and unfamiliar.
“This is…” Lu Yi moved his thin lips. “My home.”
Sun Yuhan’s heart suddenly tightened. She felt like she was being slapped on her face and it was burning hot.
“You remember?”
“No,” Lu Yi stopped. He was already standing in front of the door. “Just certain parts.”
“Then…” Sun Yuhan clasped her fingers together tightly. Her fingers then scratched each other from time to time.
“Are you married?”
Lu Yi frowned and shook his head. “No.”
It was true that he was not. In all his memories, he was not married. He did not even have a girlfriend. The Lu family had never demanded that he marry someone well-matched with his status. His parents would not object as long as the other person came from a clean background.
“So…” Sun Yuhan pulled on his sleeve again. “The thing that you promised me. Does that still count?”
He told her that he would marry her and now that her legs were in such a condition, what was she supposed to do if he regained his memories and did not want her anymore? She had devoted these two years to him.
He could not be so irresponsible.
“Don’t worry.” Lu Yi clenched the handles of the wheelchair tightly. “I will not break my promise.” This was his standard of conducting himself. He had always been a man of his word.
“Alright then,” Sun Yuhan let out a sigh of relief and secretly looked at the garden villa in front her.
Could it be that the story of Cinderella and the prince was actually happening to her…
But, the fortune teller had said that she would bring misfortune to her parents and would spend her remaining years till death alone. It was because of this that her biological parents did not want her. Later, she was abandoned by her foster parents as well, which made her believe in fate.
Even she had believed in it. After all, she did not get to live like a human being for the past few years. She lived frugally everyday, but she still did not manage to earn or save any money.
But now, right in front of her eyes, it was clearly a life of a princess.
The fortune teller was lying.
Lu Yi stepped forward and stretched his trembling hand out. He then clenched his hands tightly. He had never knew that he would actually be afraid. He had left for two years, gone missing for two entire years. How was he, who had probably been assumed dead, supposed to appear in front of everyone? He did not even search for his own information online, for fear of being assumed dead. Up until now, he still did not know how many years he had missed.
Finally, he placed his hand on the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened. But, there was no one at the door.
He moved his sight downwards and saw a little fatty who could only reach his thighs.
Suddenly, his pupils shrunk.
Then he squatted down. Was this Lei Qingyi?
“Uncle, who are you looking for?” This tiny fellow asked mischievously, but his baby’s voice could melt a person.
Lei Qingyi. Lu Yi placed his hand on the child’s small face. This was obviously Lei Qingyi’s face. But, why did Lei Qingyi become so small? Perhaps, he did not lose his memories but had travelled back in time.
What was happening here?
“Little Lei, who’s here?”
Lei Qingyi noticed that his son had not returned for a long time and he became a little worried, Did someone come to kidnap his son? His son was so cute, and there would be many people out there who wanted to kidnap his son.
This could not be done. Whoever dared to touch his son, he would risk his life fighting against that criminal.
He quickly walked over and scooped his son up into his arms. He then touched his small face. “Daddy always reminded you to not speak to strangers and you’ve agreed to it, right? Why are you forgetting it now? Daddy will spank your little butt when we go back inside.”
Little Lei blinked his eyes and grasped his father’s shirt with his small hand. “Papa, Lei Lei have learnt my mistake. Please don’t hit my butt-butt?”
“What do you think?” Lei Qingyi deliberately made a stern face. In fact, he really wanted to laugh. This small fellow was truly the family’s happy-go-lucky little treasure. The children’s speech that came out from his mouth from time to time and also the unique way of thinking of a child always made them laugh.
After teasing his son, he looked up again. His hands loosened upon seeing the person standing in front of him
Lu Yi swiftly reached out to catch the child who was about to fall and moved him into his arms.
“You, you…”
