Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 335 You were the one who fired the shot.
The sky was overcast, the sun was setting, and the brilliant sunset gradually faded away.
Inside the castle, a tall, handsome man held a wine glass in his hand, casually swirling the bright red wine inside. The glass shimmered and rippled, the blood-red liquid appearing exceptionally dazzling under the light.
On the wall hung a huge screen, which was playing news about the Li family's plan to build a satellite base station in eastern Fujian.
The sun had set, and the last rays of sunlight fell on Li Yancheng. He poured the red wine in his glass towards the sky and onto the earth.
"Young Master Li, that woman has woken up."
Yao Qing stepped out from behind Li Yancheng and said respectfully.
Li Yancheng handed the glass of red wine in his hand to the maid beside him and walked upstairs with long, slender steps.
At this moment, Xia Ningxi was lying on the soft bed in a daze, her whole body sore and weak, and her head throbbing slightly.
Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and she couldn't see anything, but the perceptive Xia Ningxi still noticed that someone pushed open the door and came in.
"Who are you?" Xia Ningxi asked sharply.
The man did not answer, but walked towards Xia Ningxi step by step.
The footsteps grew closer and closer...
Feeling the man stop in front of her, Xia Ningxi took a step back, but at that moment, a cold hand pinched her chin.
It hurts so much...
Xia Ningxi groaned softly in pain, but forced herself to endure it and asked loudly, "Who exactly are you!"
"Xia Ningxi, don't you know who I am?" Li Yancheng said slowly.
Xia Ningxi looked bewildered. "I don't know you."
Li Yancheng sneered and tore off the black cloth covering Xia Ningxi's eyes.
The lights were blinding, stinging Xia Ningxi's eyes. She endured the discomfort and tried to look at the man in front of her. What she saw was an excessively handsome face. The man had strong features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His long black hair had a touch of roguish charm and an exceptional aura. Xia Ningxi rarely saw someone so handsome. He was comparable to Huo Nanxiao.
But why doesn't she have any recollection of this person?
Xia Ningxi blinked. "Do we know each other?"
Li Yancheng sneered: "It's only been a few years, and you've already forgotten me?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know you." Xia Ningxi was absolutely certain that she was seeing this man for the first time!
Li Yancheng frowned as he looked at Xia Ningxi's bewildered expression. His icy hand gripped her chin tightly, and his sharp eyes gazed into hers. Those eyes were clear and captivating, so pure and untouched by any dust. If Xia Ningxi were lying, Li Yancheng could easily detect it in her eyes, but…
Her eyes were clear yet blank, as if she truly didn't recognize herself.
Li Yancheng was puzzled. He tore open his shirt with a swish, took Xia Ningxi's hand, and placed it over his heart.
"What are you doing? You pervert!"
Xia Ningxi saw the man who had exposed his chest to her and let her touch it, and she slapped him in shame and anger.
"Young Master Li!" Yao Qing rushed forward in surprise.
Li Yancheng raised his right hand and made a step back motion.
Seeing this, Yao Qing could only swallow her anger, but her eyes were so fierce that they seemed to be spitting fire when she looked at Xia Ningxi.
Li Yancheng smiled as he wiped his sore cheek, and said with a slight smile, "It seems you really don't remember me."
Xia Ningxi said, "I think you've arrested the wrong person. I'm sure I don't know you. Please release me right now."
Li Yancheng said, "It's okay, I'll remind you of me."
Xia Ningxi was puzzled, wondering if this jerk was mentally ill. She had already said she didn't know him, so couldn't he understand human language?
Just as Xia Ningxi was puzzled, Li Yancheng suddenly lifted her off the bed.
"Let me go!" Xia Ningxi shouted angrily.
Li Yancheng ignored her and forcibly dragged Xia Ningxi into the bathroom, then shoved her head into the icy cold water of the bathtub.
"Ugh—" Xia Ningxi drank several mouthfuls of water, choking and coughing repeatedly. In her anger, she used all her strength to smash the showerhead next to her over his head.
Upon seeing this, Yao Qing rushed forward and pinned Xia Ningxi down.
Li Yancheng was soaking wet. He casually brushed the water off his clothes and asked in a deep voice, "You remembered me?"
"Screw you!" Xia Ningxi cursed.
Li Yancheng's handsome face darkened.
Yao Qing said, "Young Master Li, she's too arrogant. I'll pull out her tongue right now."
Li Yancheng said coldly, "This is none of your business. Get out."
Yao Qing stared in surprise: "Young Master Li, she was just cursing at you."
Li Yancheng sneered: "It's normal for her to curse people with that mouth of hers."
Xia Ningxi was speechless. Judging from his words, the man in front of her seemed to know her very well.
However, Xia Ningxi had no recollection of him. Only, when he pushed her into the water just now, Xia Ningxi's brain would uncontrollably emit sharp, stabbing pains…
She was soaked to the bone, shivering with cold, and had no desire to argue with this lunatic.
Li Yancheng noticed Xia Ningxi's unnatural expression and snorted coldly, "Wash yourself clean and wait for me downstairs."
"Who exactly are you?" Xia Ningxi demanded.
Li Yancheng stopped walking. He seemed like a different person, walking step by step towards Xia Ningxi and domineeringly taking her hand and placing it on his chest.
Xia Ningxi initially thought that this man was a complete pervert because he kept letting her touch his body, but she soon realized that she was wrong. There was a dent in the man's heart area, which was a gunshot wound.
How could he have a gunshot wound near his heart?
Could this guy be a heinous criminal?
Xia Ningxi's heart skipped a beat.
But what the man said next shocked Xia Ningxi greatly.
"You were the one who shot me back then, have you forgotten, Xia Ningxi!" His thin lips uttered a cold sentence.
He released Xia Ningxi's hand, staring at her bewildered face like a vicious beast, then sneered and left.
Xia Ningxi's mind went blank, Li Yancheng's words kept echoing in her mind.
Was she the one who fired the shot?
What's the meaning?
Did they know each other before?
But why can't Xia Ningxi remember anything at all?
She tapped her head, trying to recall the past, but her brain ached terribly and she was covered in cold sweat.
Xia Ningxi was in so much pain that she had no choice but to give up trying to recall the past.
She was soaking wet, so she took a hot shower, changed into the clothes the maid had prepared for her, and went downstairs.
Li Yancheng sat downstairs, lazily crossing his legs as he flipped through a thick data book, while the television next to him played financial news from the capital city on a loop.
Xia Ningxi walked over and was about to sit down when she noticed a pile of Huo Nanxiao's photos on the table. She was surprised. Was this guy Huo Nanxiao's enemy?
Upon closer inspection, Xia Ningxi gasped.
