After the wedding, Shen Shuyi was kept in the bridal chamber by Ning Shitang for several days, but she had a headache every time she ate lunch.

Ning Shitang was extremely worried about this and called the doctor over several times, but the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong.

One day at noon, Ning Shitang had an urgent matter at the government office and couldn't come back for lunch. She had just finished eating alone when she suddenly felt a headache, cried out, and collapsed to the ground.

Sai Feng and Yan Qiu picked the person up and called for a doctor to come and take a look. This time, in this emergency, they called for a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.

Ning Shitang suddenly felt a pang of panic at the government office. He received a call from home and hurriedly drove back.

"How is your wife?"

Ning Shitang saw Shen Shuyi lying on the bed with a pale face and asked the doctor who was taking her pulse.

The doctor frowned slightly, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Commander, your wife is pregnant and is two months along."

Ning Shitang was worried and anxious, thinking that Shuyi had contracted some kind of acute illness.

I'm completely stunned by this unexpected good news.

"You're...pregnant?"

"Does she have any other illnesses? She's had a headache for several days now."

"My wife is fine. Perhaps she is just feeling a little unwell due to her pregnancy. She will be fine after a few days of rest."

The doctor received his reward and left, and the servants went out to get busy.

Ning Shitang sat by the bed, holding Shen Shuyi's hand tightly, looking into her closed eyes, "Shuyi, Shuyi, we have a child."

He gently rubbed Shen Shuyi's hand against his cheek.

Shen Shuyi's fingers twitched. The moment she opened her eyes and saw Ning Shitang, she hurriedly pulled her hand back and stepped back.

Seeing the complexity and unfamiliarity in her eyes, Ning Shitang felt a pang of unease and bitterness in his heart.

Has the day he least wanted to face finally arrived...?

"Shuyi, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

Shen Shuyi shook her head, biting her lip as she looked at Ning Shitang warily without saying a word.

Ning Shitang forced himself to stay calm, took a deep breath, and smiled gently, as if afraid of startling her.

"Shuyi, I heard from the maid that you fainted without eating a bite of lunch. Does your head still hurt?"

Are you hungry?

Shen Shuyi looked around at her surroundings. "Where am I?"

And who are you?

Ning Shitang's emotions, which he had been trying so hard to suppress, collapsed instantly. He hurriedly grabbed Shen Shuyi's arm, his eyes reddening.

"Shuyi, you are my wife, and I am your lover."

"No... I, I'm not married yet, my lover is..." Shen Shuyi hurriedly sat up, retreated to the innermost part of the bed, and shook her head with disbelief.

"My fiancé is Hu Cheng."

Ning Shitang's face froze, his hand still hanging in mid-air.

He clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

His deep eyes looked at Shen Shuyi.

She regained her memory, but forgot him?

"No, I am your husband." Ning Shitang felt so aggrieved for the first time. He could only argue in a low voice, afraid that if he raised his voice, he would scare his beloved wife to tears and run away.

"Shuyi, you can't forget me. I am the one who will live and die with you and be with you day and night."

Shen Shuyi clutched her head, her memory in disarray, her head spinning.

Seeing her in so much pain, Ning Shitang couldn't help but step forward and hug her tightly.

"No, don't hug me..." Shen Shuyi pushed against his chest with both hands, trying to push the man away.

Ning Shitang held her tightly and spoke in her ear in a hoarse voice.

"We swore to God that we would be husband and wife for life."

"Just a few days ago, you said you were willing."

"You also said that I'm the one you love the most."

"You even said you wanted to have a child with me."

Ning Shitang took her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. "We're already pregnant here. The doctor said it's been more than two months."

Shen Shuyi's eyes widened in disbelief. She clutched her head and broke down in tears, "It hurts so much..."

"The meaning of the book, the meaning of the book..."

In the end, Shen Shuyi fainted in Ning Shitang's arms.

The doctor came again, this time to examine Shen Shuyi's head.

Ning Shitang said, "She regained her previous memories, but forgot what happened after she lost her memory."

"In this situation, how long will it take for her to regain all her memories?"

The doctor said carefully, "The Commander's wife is experiencing memory confusion. She may be able to fully recover once she recovers."

"I'm fine physically."

Ning Shitang frowned. "Does it cause a headache? Can you prescribe some painkillers?"

The doctor hesitated, "It's possible, but I still suggest observing first, since pregnant women taking those medications might affect fetal development."

"Commander, you should wait for her to wake up and see what the situation is."

Ning Shitang didn't say anything more; he stayed with Shen Shuyi without eating or drinking.

Looking at her sleeping face, my mind was filled with memories of the two of us together.

He now misses the way she called him "husband" terribly, and wonders if she will still recognize him after she fully regains her memory.

Will he acknowledge the child's father...?

Shen Shuyi woke up the next morning and saw Ning Shitang sleeping by the bedside as soon as she opened her eyes.

Her hand was still in Ning Shitang's warm, dry palm.

"Brother Shitang?"

Ning Shitang was a light sleeper, and he woke up as soon as he heard the noise.

He excitedly grabbed Shen Shuyi's hand, "Shuyi, you remembered me?"

Shen Shuyi avoided eye contact. "I... oh, you're hurting my hand."

"If, and I mean if, you still don't remember me, don't push me away. We can get to know each other again." Ning Shitang relaxed a little, but didn't completely let go of Shen Shuyi's hand.
