Lu An'an refused to cooperate with the unreasonable request for her to do her makeup and styling.

With no other option, Zhu Ze stepped aside, dialed Pei Sheng's number, and reported the delicate and tense situation on the other side.

Lu An'an crossed her arms and watched as Zhu Ze occasionally turned his head to look her up and down, secretly amused.

[Could Pei Sheng really like me? He even has to ask what I'm wearing?]

Whom do I recall through my memory?

A moment later, Zhu Ze ended the call, slowly walked back, a gentle and polite smile on his face, and invited Lu An'an to get in the car.

"Miss Lu, please get in the car. I'll take you to the beach now."

Lu An'an narrowed her eyes slightly, not asking Zhu Ze what he had said on the phone, but silently slipped into the car, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

After seeing Lu An'an get into the car, Zhu Ze walked around the car, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and the vehicle slowly drove towards the blue coast.

Lu An'an's probing gaze fell on the back of Zhu Ze's head. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What kind of medicine does Pei Sheng sell by the sea?"

Morizawa's answer was vague: "Miss Lu will know when she arrives."

Lu An'an's lips curled into a faint sarcasm: "What a joke. Pei Sheng and I are mortal enemies, why are you still trying to be mysterious?"

Zhu Ze's smile remained standard and proper, unaffected in the slightest: "Miss Lu, I was merely following orders to complete the task assigned by my master. As for my master's plans, I truly know nothing about them."

Lu An'an chuckled softly, then fell silent.

In a short while, the car came to a steady stop by the sea.

As Lu An'an stepped out of the car, her eyes were met with a meticulously arranged scene, exquisitely beautiful like a dream, resembling a perfect seaside date spot.

Over there, Pei Sheng, dressed in a crisp white shirt and sharp black trousers, looked exceptionally formal, his gaze fixed directly on her.

Lu An'an carefully examined Pei Sheng's outfit, then looked down at her own ridiculously cute elementary school hoodie, and her lips twitched.

No, I really can't hold back anymore, is he sick in the head?

[What is this?! A romantic dinner?! We're practically about to start a fight with knives, is a romantic dinner even appropriate?!]

She felt increasingly uneasy, her brows furrowed, and her expression was one of deep unease.

"I……"

At this moment, Zhu Ze subtly glanced behind Lu An'an, where two bodyguards had quietly taken up their positions.

The two immediately understood each other and, ignoring her resistance, carried Lu An'an to Pei Sheng's side. Once they were in position, Lu An'an was forced to look up and meet Pei Sheng's face, which had a half-smile on it.

"An'an doesn't want to eat with me?"

Upon hearing this, Lu An'an couldn't help but roll her eyes dramatically, her tone laced with sarcasm and disbelief.

"No way, no way, no one would want to eat with someone who wants to kill them, right?"

Pei Sheng smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned by Lu An'an's sarcasm. He calmly pulled out an elegant chair beside him, looking at Lu An'an with unfathomable eyes, and slowly said, "Come and sit down."

Lu An'an stared at Pei Sheng for a moment with a blank expression. Seeing that his expression remained calm and without any hint of mockery, she could only cautiously step over and sit down in the chair.

Pei Sheng followed and elegantly sat down directly opposite Lu An'an, casually resting his chin on one hand, and asked nonchalantly, "Don't you think this scene looks familiar?"

Lu An'an's heartstrings twitched slightly. Thinking that Pei Sheng still had memories of every previous life in his mind, she frowned almost imperceptibly, looked around, and couldn't piece together any scenes from her memories. Her eyelids lowered slightly, and her tone was somewhat nonchalant: "I don't think so."

Pei Sheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Lu An'an, you really have lost your previous memories."

Lu An'an popped a grape into her mouth, unconcerned: "As it turns out, without those burdensome memories, you are no match for me."

Pei Sheng leaned back in his chair, a cryptic smile playing on his lips: "However, the current situation is that you are now on my territory."

Lu An'an chuckled dismissively: "Didn't your loyal lackey number one tell you? Did I come here voluntarily?"

Pei Sheng paused for a moment, then, as if he had just realized something, he raised an eyebrow and said, "An, look, even though you've lost your memory, you still understand me so well, and I know exactly what you're like. Isn't that proof that we're a match made in heaven, the most perfect couple?"

Upon hearing this, Lu An'an shuddered with disgust and said, unable to contain herself any longer, "Pei Sheng, I just happen to be smarter than you and guessed more accurately. You don't even understand me to that extent, and besides..."

He paused slightly, then relaxed, leaning back in his chair, and spoke slowly, each word deliberate and measured:

"I have no memories of my past life, and I am not the Lu An'an you know. From the beginning of the story, you are nothing more than an enemy who is destined to die before me. Don't think too highly of yourself, and don't say such disgusting things that make me lose my appetite."

A complex and unfathomable depth flashed in the depths of Pei Sheng's eyes, but his face still wore a nonchalant smile, seemingly unconcerned by Lu An'an's sharp words.

"Tsk, every word is like a needle, piercing the heart. But, An'an, my feelings for you are genuine, and I like you very much."

The image of her master's face in the courtyard, a face that caused her immense heartache whenever she thought of it, flashed through Lu An'an's mind, and a surge of anger and resentment welled up in her chest.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Pei Sheng, do you even know what 'like' means, you pervert?"

She stared directly at Pei Sheng, her voice cold: "You tried to harm my loved ones, and after the matter was exposed, you ruthlessly killed those who worked for you. Now, in order to lure me here, you are willing to kill innocent people indiscriminately. You don't like me; you just want to achieve your own selfish desires."

Pei Sheng's playful expression froze slightly under the series of accusations. He quietly met Lu An'an's gaze, his eyes seemingly hiding unfathomable vortexes.

A moment later, he chuckled softly, and then the laughter grew louder and louder, echoing in the air.

Lu An'an watched Pei Sheng, who was laughing so hard he was doubled over, with a calm and composed expression.

Pei Sheng's laughter finally subsided. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that had welled up in his eyes from laughing. His voice was deep: "Lu An'an, I have to admit that you are indeed more interesting this time than ever before. No wonder even that thing that has always been watching coldly is willing to personally step in and help you."

At this point, he gazed intently at Lu An'an, his tone carrying a hint of amusement and deeper meaning: "But Lu An'an, do you really think what they're saying is necessarily the truth?"
