Chapter 385 As Friends
"Then wouldn't the food abroad be very unpalatable?" Fu Juechuan's voice was clear, and his eyes were clean and gentle. He said softly, "I can cook. If you don't mind, I can cook at home and send it to you in a lunch box?"
Ye Qiaoqiao was a little surprised. She didn't realize Fu Juechuan could cook. He was obviously a tough guy and cooking should have nothing to do with him.
"No need. It will take up too much of your time." Ye Qiaoqiao hesitated and refused. She also felt that this would be too much trouble for Fu Juechuan. Although she was not used to eating abroad, she could tolerate it after she came across a Chinese restaurant.
Fu Juechuan's eyes softened. "No need to delay. I have a vacation soon."
"As a husband, I have an obligation to take care of both our two children and you, Qiao Qiao."
"You can treat me as a new friend." Fu Juechuan thought for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at her, "You can also invite me back."
Ye Qiaoqiao tilted her head and looked at him. Every time Fu Juechuan answered her, it was always unexpected. How could such obviously ambiguous words make him sound so warm and normal?
But it must be said that Ye Qiaoqiao did not feel any rejection towards him because of this.
Ye Qiaoqiao thought about it and felt that Fu Juechuan’s suggestion was actually quite good.
She actually regarded Fu Juechuan as a friend, and the nervousness in her heart about suddenly entering into an intimate relationship also dissipated.
"Yeah, okay." Ye Qiaoqiao smiled.
Fu Juechuan curled his lips slightly without leaving any trace, without emphasizing anything, and just chatted with her.
"Does everyone know that I'm returning to China?" Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly thought of this and hesitated, "Do I need to meet my friend now?"
Fu Juechuan glanced at her and suggested, "Don't worry, Qiao Qiao, they have contacted me to inquire about your situation. I will help you solve it here. When you get used to life in China, you can directly hold a party and invite everyone to meet. There is no need to be too deliberate. Friends who are truly good to you are willing to wait."
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't expect that his thoughts were the same as hers, and she became more curious about Fu Juechuan.
She herself didn't notice that she paid attention to Fu Juechuan more times than she thought.
"Then do as you say."
Ye Qiaoqiao said immediately.
Fu Juechuan hummed and asked softly, "Qiao Qiao, how long will Mr. Demon stay in China this time? Dad plans to entertain him personally, but Dad's working hours are very short, so I want to arrange for other staff to accompany Mr. Demon and make sure he feels at home in China."
Ye Qiaoqiao said, "I don't know how long the teacher will stay, but he is here to study Chinese painting, so there is no time limit. It all depends on what he gains."
"I have to go abroad in half a year to continue participating in the competition."
When Ye Qiaoqiao said this, there was a hint of tentativeness in her tone.
She thought she had no close relationship with Commander Ye and Fu Juechuan.
Although it seems that the two men are very nice to her now and are sincere to her, Ye Qiaoqiao still feels uneasy.
She lost her past memories and was unable to be confident. This was indeed because she lacked confidence in herself.
Maybe it was because I woke up and found myself alone.
It was as if she had no other connections in the world.
That feeling of loneliness is hard to understand for those who have not experienced it.
Recalling how gentle Fu Juechuan had been with her just now, Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't help but smile.
"Well, my dad and I know, and we support you." Fu Juechuan turned his head to look at her with a gentle gaze, without a hint of force, "Qiao Qiao, you are excellent."
"After this incident, the only thing that can comfort Dad and me is that you have found your own hobby."
"During these years in China, you had no time to paint. All your time was wasted on business. I know you probably don't like doing business, but you still did it just to get revenge on Zhou Chong."
"Thank you for your hard work over the years. It's my fault that I didn't do well."
Ye Qiaoqiao opened her mouth. She felt that she should have no regrets about her past.
Zhou Cong's act of imprisoning her was enough to make Ye Qiaoqiao no longer have any feelings for him.
She could also understand her crazy revenge on Zhou Cong before she lost her memory.
"It has nothing to do with you." Ye Qiaoqiao raised her head, her attitude sincere, her clear eyes serious, "I have not felt wronged, nor have I wasted my time. I think everything I do is meaningful."
“Without the financial means, I would have no chance to paint.”
In fact, Ye Qiaoqiao didn't expect that she had so many assets in her name.
She originally thought she was a poor painter who had to sell paintings to survive abroad, but she didn't expect that she was actually a hidden wealthy person.
This feeling is a bit strange.
However, Ye Qiaoqiao was still not sure whether she was the same Ye Qiaoqiao as before.
Therefore, she did not plan to spend the money. She would keep it in the account first and give it to her two children later. As for herself, she could make enough money to live and buy medicine by selling paintings.
Especially after returning to China, prices were terribly low. With the exchange rate, she spent less than one thousand US dollars in half a year in China.
Without financial pressure, Ye Qiaoqiao would naturally not touch the money she had earned from her business.
"Qiao Qiao, is there anything you want to do?"
"Hmm?" Ye Qiaoqiao didn't understand what this meant.
Fu Juechuan resisted the urge to touch her head to comfort her. "You should have been painting all the time in China for half a year. So Qiao Qiao, do you want to hold an exhibition in China?"
Ye Qiaoqiao had considered this issue before.
"I need to discuss this with Mr. Damon. I'm taking a relief potion now, so I should be able to paint again. My health won't get worse any further. So, I haven't decided what kind of exhibition I'm going to hold yet."
Fu Juechuan pursed his lips and stared at Ye Qiaoqiao's fair face and rosy lips. Her complexion was a little pale, and it was obvious that her condition had not yet recovered.
"Qiao Qiao, you probably don't know my situation."
"Huh?" Ye Qiaoqiao turned to look at him, confused.
Fu Juechuan seemed to have been staring at her. Ye Qiaoqiao turned her head and met his gaze. Before she could feel uncomfortable, Fu Juechuan spoke, "I was infected with the e-reagent a long time ago, and I also lost my memory."
"What?" Ye Qiaoqiao suddenly opened her eyes wide, her pupils slightly dilated. She couldn't believe that such a thing had happened to Fu Juechuan. It was no different from her situation.
"Wait..." Ye Qiaoqiao thought of something and asked hurriedly, "If you lost your memory, doesn't that mean you lost your memory before the accident happened to me?"
"So how do we get along?"
Ye Qiaoqiao was really curious about this, and seemed to be trying to find some advice on the way forward from a patient who had the same experience.
"I was taken back to the army when I returned to China, and the army gave me all my information. With that information, I knew who I was, that I had a lover, that I had children, and that my accident had caused my family members to worry and anxiety."
"I can't think of anything else. The first second I saw you, I knew in my mind that I was not alone and there was someone waiting for me."
Fu Juechuan's voice was light, yet heavy.
Ye Qiaoqiao was slightly shocked, her breathing became a little tight, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and she didn't dare to look into Fu Juechuan's eyes.
She felt ashamed and guilty.
It turns out that not all people who lose their memory are as confused as she is.
Fu Juechuan had experienced the same thing and made a completely different choice from her.
He decisively accepted the reality, then accepted his family and his former self, without letting any of his relatives continue to worry about him.
But she, Ye Qiaoqiao, was always unwilling to admit that she was the original herself because she had no memories, did not admit that she had an intimate relationship with Fu Juechuan, did not admit that she was her father's daughter, and did not admit that she was Mu Mu and A Yu's mother.
She locked herself in the wall, waiting for everyone to show kindness to her, waiting for everyone to coax her and influence her with love.
She never thought about how much these family members worried about her during the time she was away.
"Sorry." Ye Qiaoqiao's voice was dry and hoarse. She lowered her head and didn't even have the courage to raise her head and look Fu Juechuan in the face.
She just whispered it over and over again.
"Jojo."
Ye Qiaoqiao opened her eyes hazily and saw a pair of big hands appear in her sight and placed in front of her.
"You apologized because my words made you unhappy, so I take back what I said."
"You are you, and I am me. I am a man, and I should take responsibility. Besides..." Fu Juechuan sneered unnaturally, "I also fell in love with you at first sight. It was my feelings for you that covered up the confusion after losing my memory. Compared to losing my memory, I just wanted you more."
"So, in the final analysis, it was my own selfishness that was at work."
"It's not your fault that you feel alienated from me now."
Ye Qiaoqiao felt a little shocked and embarrassed when she heard his self-deprecating words.
She raised her eyes and saw that Fu Juechuan's eyes were half-closed. The emotions in them were like a blocked flood, flowing violently, but being held back by its owner.
Ye Qiaoqiao had never seen anyone who could hide his feelings so deeply.
This moment of emotional exposure made Ye Qiaoqiao realize that Fu Juechuan's calmness towards her was a pretense that he had put in with great effort.
"Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Fu Juechuan restrained the emotions in his eyes, looked up at her, and smiled gently.
Ye Qiaoqiao opened and closed her lips, but she didn't know what to say. She just felt her whole body getting hot for a moment, "No, I'm not disappointed."
"I...I will try my best."
Her mind was filled with Fu Juechuan's possessive eyes.
She should have been repulsed and uncomfortable with it, but she unexpectedly felt hot all over.
Ye Qiaoqiao was slow to react, and in a daze she followed Fu Juechuan, Teacher Damon and the others.
No one disturbed her. She was so immersed in her own thoughts that she hardly noticed the changes in the outside world.
For the entire morning, Commander Ye personally accompanied Demong to visit the museum in Shenzhen. There were all kinds of old items, some of which were well preserved, while others were about to disappear in the long river of history. Demong liked these old items with a sense of historical weight.
I went to a state-owned restaurant for lunch at noon.
In the afternoon, I visited some local Chinese painting artists.
Damon was very happy and understood that these were special treatments from Commander Ye, otherwise he would not have received such treatment at all.
At the dinner table in the evening, he had a good chat with Mr. Ye and even made a promise, "Mr. Ye, you are a very qualified father."
