Chapter 147 Confession Letter (Revised)

"Then I'll take you there!" Wen Niannian took Wen Ci's hand, pulled her upstairs, and opened the door to the master bedroom. "Mommy, you sleep here."

"Your clothes are in this closet, and the bathroom is over here. Here are the shampoo and shower gel. The bathtub drain switch is over here, and over here is the hot water for the shower area. Is everything clear?"

Wen Niannian introduced them to Wen Ci one by one like an older sister.

Wen Ci nodded. Before she was discharged, the doctor diagnosed her with a complete loss of episodic memory, which didn't affect her semantic or skill memory. For example, she simply forgot who she was or what had happened. While she instinctively knew how to use the shower and bathtub, she couldn't recall how she'd learned to use them.

She took the pink towel handed to her by Wen Niannian and went into the bathroom. "Thank you, Niannian. I'll take a shower first."

Wen Niannian waved and turned to walk towards the door. "Then I'll go upstairs to take a shower. Good night, Mommy~"

"Good night~"

Wen Ci's voice came through the frosted glass door.

"Good night, Daddy~"

Wen Niannian walked to the door and happened to bump into Xie Peizhou entering the bedroom. She greeted him obediently.

Xie Peizhou responded, "Good night, go to bed early, Daddy will take you to kindergarten tomorrow."

The bathroom had good sound insulation. Wen Ci in the bathroom did not hear Xie Peizhou's voice, nor did she know that Xie Peizhou had entered the bedroom.

She looked at the layout of the bathroom again, and finally decided to fill the bathtub with hot water and take a comfortable hot bath.

Half an hour later, Wen Ci used the pink bath towel Wen Niannian gave her to dry her body. There was enough moisture in the bathroom, so she pushed open the bathroom door directly, thinking of putting on her clothes in the bedroom.

The moment the door opened, Xie Peizhou stood up from the sofa opposite the bed, and his dark eyes met hers.

The man was stunned for a moment, his Adam's apple rolling, "You're done washing..."

Before she could finish her words, Wen Ci screamed "Ah".

Before Xie Peizhou could react, the bathroom door slammed shut again.

Xie Peizhou even heard the sound of the door being locked.

"Why are you here? Isn't this my bedroom?"

Wen Ci's voice came through the glass door and sounded tense, as if she was hurriedly wrapping herself in a bath towel.

Xie Peizhou came back to his senses, his thin lips curled up slightly.

He walked to the bathroom door, bent his bony fingers, and knocked on the door, "Aci, are you done washing?"

"This is our shared bedroom. We're a couple, so of course I'm here."

'……'

Inside the bathroom door, Wen Ci closed her eyes tightly, her little face so red that it seemed like blood could drip out.

She must have been out of her mind just now, she didn't react at all and thought this was her bedroom alone.

That little girl Nian Nian even told me where the hot water was, so why didn't she say that this was her and Xie Peizhou's bedroom?!

"Aci, are you ready? It's late, and I need to take a shower too."

Xie Peizhou's urging voice came through the door.

Wen Ci hated that she was not a groundhog and could not dig a hole in the ground to bury herself.

After making sure the towel was wrapped properly, she lowered her head, slowly opened the door a crack, and then went out dejectedly, not daring to look the man in the eye, "Well, go in and take a shower.

Xie Peizhou watched her walk past him with her head lowered, a smile flashing across his eyes. He suppressed the urge to tease her further, entered the bathroom as she wished, and closed the door.

The temperature in the bathroom was much higher than that in the living room, and there was a lot of moisture. The air was also filled with the scent of Wen Ci's used shower gel.

Xie Peizhou unbuttoned his shirt, looked down, and his eyes darkened.

Soon, the sound of water from the shower head dripping on the tiles could be heard.

The constant sound seemed to just mask another kind of movement.

Xie Peizhou took a longer time to wash.

"Aci?"

When he came out of the bathroom, he thought Wen Ci was already asleep in bed.

But the bed was empty, even the quilt was tidy.

A flash of disappointment flashed across the man's eyes.

The phone on the bedside table lit up, and an unfamiliar message appeared: "Mr. Xie, please forgive others when you can. Don't go too far!"

Xie Peizhou's dark eyes turned cold, [Huh? Who's going too far?]

…

-

On the third floor, Wen Ci’s former bedroom.

Now it has been successfully inherited by Wen Niannian and has become her exclusive bedroom.

Wen Niannian hugged Wen Ci's arm and was very happy. "Mommy, I haven't slept with you for a long time. I'm so happy tonight~"

Wen Ci helped her pinch the quilt and asked puzzledly: "Why?"

Wen Niannian, "Because you said I'm grown up and need to learn to be independent and take care of myself. And you and dad are in a relationship, so of course you have to sleep together."

When Xie Peizhou was mentioned, Wen Ci's face became hot. Thinking of how she opened the bathroom door without clothes just now, Xie Peizhou looked at her and raised his eyebrows visibly.

Although they had done more intimate things before, she now had no memory of it at all.

To her now, Xie Peizhou is just a strange man.

Wen Ci felt ashamed when a strange man looked at her body and raised his eyebrows.

Wen Ci asked curiously, "Niannian, before I lost my memory, did you love your dad very much? Do you think Dad likes me more, or do you like him more?"

"This question..." Wen Niannian looked at the ceiling, thought for a while, turned her little face to look at Wen Ci and replied, "I think, Mommy, you like Daddy more, right? Before you and Daddy started dating, you slept with me. After you started dating him, you stopped sleeping with me and slept with him."

"Before you lost your memory, you would kiss Daddy every day. When you went out, when you came home, sometimes in the bedroom, sometimes in the study. I saw it many times."

Wen Niannian's tone revealed a tone of being used to it.

Wen Ci looked at her daughter's little face which looked very much like Xie Peizhou, and tried hard to search for some memories from her daughter's words, but she could not remember anything, and her eyes were filled with confusion.

Did she love Xie Peizhou so much before she lost her memory?

What did she love about him?

During these three days, Wen Ci analyzed the information she had learned and concluded that she and Xie Yiyi had been good friends for many years, but Xie Peizhou was Xie Yiyi's uncle.

So she fell in love with a man who was ten years older than her, and who was also her best friend's relative? !

Although they are not related by blood, they are still criticized on the moral level.

Wen Niannian suddenly said nervously: "Mommy, why do you ask this suddenly? Why don't you sleep with Daddy tonight... Don't you like Daddy anymore?"

"What about me, do you still like me?"

Outside the bedroom door, Xie Peizhou was standing at the door in his pajamas, about to knock.

The man knocking on the door froze when he heard his daughter's voice.

Across the door, Wen Ci's somewhat confused and helpless voice rang out, "I can't remember anything now. To me, you are all strangers I have just known for three days..."

As if she was afraid that Nian Nian would be sad, Wen Ci added, "But I still like Nian Nian very much."

"real?!"

"Well, because Nian Nian is well-behaved and cute, even if I have lost my memories of the past, I still like you."

Wen Niannian breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "What about Daddy? Do you like Daddy now?"

At the door, Xie Peizhou's breathing tightened. He was very excited, but also a little afraid to hear Wen Ci's answer.

After a while, Wen Ci's calm voice sounded, "I shouldn't like it now, right? It feels a bit strange...Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm a little sleepy. Go to bed early. You still have to go to kindergarten tomorrow. If you don't go to bed now, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

The bedroom gradually became quiet.

At the door, Xie Peizhou's knuckles turned slightly white.

The lights in the corridor shone on his tall body, making him look a little lonely.

Good feelings are usually formed slowly by the accumulation of many things that two people experience together.

Now Wen Ci has lost her memory, forgotten everything, and even forgotten to love him.

-

Late at night, Wen Niannian was holding Wen Ci's arm and was about to fall into a deep sleep when she felt as if someone was approaching the bed and seemed to take her hand away from Wen Ci's arm.

Wen Niannian frowned, slowly opened her eyes, and looked through the dim night light on the bedside table, "Daddy?"

Xie Peizhou made a "hush" gesture to silence her, then carefully picked up Wen Ci from the bed by the waist. He also freed one hand to cover his daughter with the quilt and coaxed her in a low voice, "Go back to sleep. You have to go to kindergarten tomorrow."

Wen Niannian uttered "oh" in a daze, closed her eyes obediently again, and didn't make any noise.

After making sure his daughter was asleep, Xie Peizhou breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the bedroom holding Wen Ci.

He closed the door very carefully, tiptoed down the stairs, and carried Wen Ci back to the bed in the master bedroom on the second floor.

Wen Ci didn't wake up along the way and slept soundly.

Xie Peizhou looked at her peaceful sleeping face leaning against the pillow, climbed onto the bed carefully, and reached out to turn off the light.

The bedroom instantly became pitch black. He stretched out his arms and slowly brought the person into his arms.

Perhaps because the movement was too big, Wen Ci moved uncomfortably.

Xie Peizhou held his breath instantly and dared not move, for fear that Wen Ci would wake up and find him and slap him again.

Then they became more distant and wary of him.

But Wen Ci did not wake up completely. She was half asleep and half awake. She subconsciously grabbed Xie Peizhou's pajamas and took the initiative to approach him.

She even took the initiative to bury her soft little face in his chest, making a comfortable posture.

His breathing became steady again.

Xie Peizhou didn't move, but a stuffy and sour feeling arose in his heart.

-

The next morning, when Wen Ci woke up naturally, there was no one around her.

She stretched and sat up, then realized something was wrong...

This doesn't seem to be Nian Nian's bedroom, but the master bedroom where she took a shower last night.

Wen Ci immediately lifted the quilt and saw that the pajamas were worn intact on her body. Then she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately...

"Knock, knock, knock." Wen Niannian's sweet voice suddenly came from the door, "Mommy, are you awake? Do you want to go downstairs for breakfast?"

Wen Ci threw back the quilt and got out of bed. She glanced at the clock on the bedside table, which showed half past seven. "Well, you're awake. I'll be down right away."

When she finished washing up and went downstairs, Xie Peizhou and Wen Niannian were already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. Aunt Zhou had cooked millet porridge and prepared various breakfast buns.

"Mommy, good morning~"

Wen Niannian greeted her while eating a custard bun. She was wearing a kindergarten uniform and looked very pretty and cute.

Wen Ci responded with a smile, but her attention was on Xie Peizhou, who had his back to her, and the tips of her ears felt slightly hot.

The man sat upright, dressed in a suit and tie, with his back straight and dignified.

She clearly went to the third floor to sleep with her daughter last night, but how come she woke up in the bed in the bedroom on the second floor? Could she be sleepwalking?

That is when Xie Peizhou carried her down in the middle of the night.

As if noticing her gaze, Xie Peizhou turned around, his deep black eyes met hers, and he greeted her gently, "Aci, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

Wen Ci's heart skipped a beat in panic. In front of her daughter and Aunt Zhou, she could only smile and reply, "Good morning, I slept... quite well."

"Xiaoci, this is your favorite soup dumplings, try it."

Aunt Zhou brought a basket of steaming dumplings to Wen Ci and asked tentatively, "I bought it across from your high school. You ate it every day when you were in school. Can you remember anything about it?"

Wen Ci picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The meat sauce was juicy and tasted really good, but she couldn't recall any of her past memories.

She shook her head.

Aunt Zhou sighed.

Xie Peizhou looked at her, a dark trace flashing across his black eyes.

After breakfast, Wen Ci only glanced at him to say good morning, and never looked at him or spoke to him again.

After breakfast, Xie Peizhou went to work at the company and sent Wen Niannian to kindergarten.

Wen Niannian put on her small schoolbag and waved at Wen Ci, "Mommy, bye."

"Bye~"

Wen Ci stood at the door and watched the two of them until the car drove out of the yard, then turned around and returned to the villa.

Wen Niannian is not at home, and Wen Ci seems to have nothing to do.

The huge villa feels particularly unfamiliar.

Wen Ci was bored and went to the study on the second floor.

Wen Niannian said that before she lost her memory, she was a director and often worked overtime in the study. Wen Ci turned on the computer, hoping to look back at her previous work and maybe remember something.

After turning on the computer, Wen Ci looked at the unfamiliar computer desktop, trying to find her work folder, but unexpectedly saw a "proposal planning document".

She clicked on it out of curiosity, and found several proposal plans in the document, playA, playB, playC... and a love letter written by Xie Peizhou to her.

Wen Ci's heart skipped a beat before she realized, was Xie Peizhou planning to propose to her?!

Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the study door. Wen Ci raised her eyes and met the eyes of Xie Peizhou, who was dressed in a suit and tie.

"Why are you back?"

Xie Peizhou saw her surprised expression and guilty tone, and his dark eyes looked at the computer on the desk.

After a second of hesitation, I understood.

This is his dedicated computer. Wen Ci only uses his laptop when working at home, so he put the proposal document directly on the desktop without worrying that Wen Ci would find it.

But he didn't expect that Wen Ci, after losing her memory, would look at his computer.

Xie Peizhou walked in, walked around the desk and came to her side. When Wen Ci wanted to step away, he held her shoulders and took out a USB flash drive from the drawer next to her. He caught a glimpse of the "Confession Document" page that she hadn't closed in time, and his Adam's apple tightened, "I forgot to take the USB flash drive."

"oh……"

Wen Ci nodded guiltily.

"Then I'll go to the company first."

Xie Peizhou put the USB drive into his pocket and walked towards the study door.

There is a very important meeting in the morning.

"Thank you Peizhou." Wen Ci called out to him.

Xie Peizhou's body stiffened slightly, he stood still, and slowly turned around, "Hmm?"

Wen Ci seemed to muster up the courage to say, "Are you in a hurry? Do you have time now? I want to talk to you. It won't take up too much of your time."
