"Heh heh..." Fu Xing couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "What if you regain your memory? Would you still think the same at that time?"
Before, Fu Xing had never felt suspicious in that regard, simply because he was very familiar with Flora’s data, and also knew who the former Princess, now the Empress Fu of Eternal City was. To say she was merely a heroine would be an understatement.
The little princess who had once captured Joseph IV’s heart to the extent that he wanted to establish her as the Crown Prince was definitely not a simple character.
Compared to Flora, Ah Foo was way too naive.
Someone who had enjoyed supreme royal power, experienced betrayal, death, and been baptized in blood could no longer be naive; otherwise, she wouldn’t have survived.
Fu Xing didn’t believe that after regaining her memory, Ah Foo would still have the same thoughts as she did now.
He wasn’t that naive.
Lin Fu was taken aback, the image of the kind middle-aged man wearing a crown, holding a scepter with a benevolent gaze, flashed through her mind again, causing a twinge of pain in her heart. The words of denial that reached her lips couldn’t be spoken.
Despite the seemingly kind gaze, it brought an inexplicable pain to her heart, pressing down on her like a mountain, leaving her breathless.
Fu Xing took her hand, "Can’t you answer me?"
"Uh! I have a feeling that if I regain my memory, I will change."
"Do you want to regain your memory?"
After deep thought, Lin Fu finally shook her head with difficulty, "I don’t want to. Without my memory, I can tell myself that Flora’s matters have nothing to do with me, Lin Fu. I am still happy, without any pressure, but I have a premonition that once I regain my memory, I will not be the same as I am now."
Lin Fu gazed deeply at Fu Xing, stroking his cheek involuntarily, her delicate fingers tracing along the line of his high nose bridge all the way down to his perfect jawline.
"Fu Xing, what I’m actually most afraid of are not those things; I’m afraid that I will hurt you, I don’t want to use you."
God knows how terrified she was yesterday when Lin Qingfeng talked about using others.
She would rather die than take advantage of Fu Xing, using him as a stepping stone for her own revenge.
Fu Xing’s lips curved into a small smile, and he said in a mock-serious tone, "Don’t think that by coaxing me, you would be able to change my mind. The things you agreed to do still need to be done."
This asshole, he must be doing this on purpose.
"Hmph! I’m not talking to you anymore." After saying that, she stood up to leave. Fu Xing didn’t rush, calmly called over the waiter to settle the bill, then followed Lin Fu out. But before the two could get on the hovercar, they saw Xia Zeming standing in the corridor, looking at them furiously.
"I’ve been waiting for two hours, what about our agreement to have lunch together at noon?"
Fu Xing raised an eyebrow, disdainfully said, "Who would want to dine with an old man for no reason?"
Xia Zeming stared, eyes widening in astonishment, "You... you’re calling me an old man?"
"At over a hundred years old, aren’t you an old man?"
"I am clearly middle-aged."
Xia Zeming wasn’t exaggerating in this aspect. In the interstellar era, the average lifespan had reached three hundred years, and indeed, one hundred was considered middle-aged. Fu Xing was deliberately teasing him, mainly because Xia Zeming had offended everyone in the guest seats recently.
"Good day, Principal."
Lin Fu, feeling a bit embarrassed as she listened to their banter and unable to pretend she didn’t exist, had to bite the bullet and greet him.
"Student Lin Fu." Xia Zeming immediately switched his demeanor towards Lin Fu, smilingly looked at her, more and more pleased with what he saw, "You performed very well yesterday. As the Principal of Elbert, I am very satisfied to have such an outstanding student as you. Come, let’s walk and talk; it so happens I also have some things to tell you."
