He kissed her lips as if punishing her, biting them until a bead of blood appeared. His mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
Xue Qiandai forgot the pain, staring at Huo Meiren's bloodshot, dark eyes. Knowing she was in the wrong, her lips moved, her eyes flickered, and finally she forced herself to say, "I...I went to see a psychologist and even underwent hypnosis. Because I suspect he altered or deleted my aunt's memories through hypnosis. My aunt is Madam Zhao, my mother's younger sister, but her resume is completely blank, which is very unusual. I didn't want you to worry, but I also thought maybe I was overthinking it, so I wanted to investigate before telling you."
She finished speaking in one breath, truly testing her lung capacity. She shook Huo Yunchao's arm vigorously, as if saying, "Forgive me, forgive me, don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Although Huo Yunchao had roughly guessed some of the details, he was still shocked to hear his girl's honest confession. He played with a strand of her hair, tucking it behind her ear, then gently pinched her chin and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
Xue Qiandai hissed, almost crying from the pain. "Hmm, are you a snow lion?"
She wasn't angry at being called a fellow snow lion. Huo Yunchao kissed her again, and her blood merged into his body.
“Dai Dai, the more you hide things from me, the more uneasy I become. We agreed last time that you would discuss everything with me, and I would have contingency plans.”
Xue Qiandai held up three fingers. "I won't hide anything from you anymore. I'll tell you everything. Are you not angry anymore?"
Huo Yunchao neither agreed nor disagreed, nor did he move.
Xue Qiandai blinked, looked around at her surroundings, and felt a chill on her back after leaning against the wall for so long.
Huo Yunchao held her arm and turned her around so he was leaning against the wall. "You were faking it that night when you were sleepwalking, weren't you?"
Xue Qiandai was speechless. She was still holding a grudge. She nodded. "Yes, I didn't mean to deceive you."
He then asked, "Did you secretly investigate Hua Yin and his daughter before?"
So he already knew? Well, he is the famous Huo Meiren, who has made a name for herself in the business world at a young age.
"Yes, my father used to have a private investigator, but he was very expensive, so I used your card. The evidence I found was also shared with Senior Brother Gu via a secret email."
Huo Yunchao smiled, his face becoming even more vivid and captivating. "I know, I gave you the card so you could use it, and I'm happy when you use it."
Xue Qiandai felt that with such beauty, what more could one ask for? "Alright, tonight I'm going to swipe my card and have another big meal."
Huo Yunchao suddenly thought of something, "When you and Rong Xiao went to see a psychologist and I called you during the hypnosis session, Rong Xiao didn't peek. That's really rare."
Xue Qiandai's face turned completely pale. "It's not that he didn't peek; it's that I brought my phone into the hypnosis room, and I used your photo as the caller ID..."
That means we can't rule out the possibility that Huang Lufei knew her true identity. The key question is, he's just a psychologist; could he really make such a connection? Would he suspect her motives for this trip?
Anxiety was written all over her face. Huo Meiren hugged her and comforted her, "Try it again next time. But we still need to prepare for the worst. If you need his information, I'll try to see if I can hack into their system..."
Having a hacker-level boyfriend is so great!
"Oh, by the way, come back with me after dinner. I drank five cups of coffee today, and I'm feeling...excited! I'll definitely keep my word."
He emphasized the words "excitement" and "arithmetic" slightly.
Hearing this, Xue Qiandai felt a surge of anger. Was it too late for her to beg for mercy?

Next, Xue Qiandai went to Huang Lufei's place twice more. Huang Lufei was natural and proper in his dealings with people, and she did not see anything unusual about him.
Singles' Day is almost here.
Because of its strong performance, Huotuan has completed its Series B financing and plans to make a big splash during Double Eleven.
Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan's Taobao shops have also made ample preparations, producing a considerable amount of ready-made autumn and winter clothing, which has become a positive factor for their promotion.
By the way, the Double Eleven shopping festival wasn't perfect when it first started, and it didn't have as many pre-sale features. The real battle was fought on Double Eleven itself.
On November 10th, Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan took a nap during the day, waiting for Singles' Day to arrive.
The battle began at midnight on Singles' Day.
From midnight to 2 a.m., the discounts are at their highest. Those who usually stay at home, single people, and thrifty housewives and white-collar workers all turn out in droves and start a crazy shopping spree to empty their shopping carts.
Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan each held a laptop, plugged it in in the living room, and logged into Wangwang (Alibaba's instant messaging platform) to answer customers' questions and replenish inventory in a timely manner.
Many people didn't even bother to ask questions and placed orders directly.
Trading volume is climbing at a visible rate.
A dozen minutes later, the e-commerce system crashed.
What does a system crash mean? All those painstakingly filled shopping carts are emptied, and the system crashes just as customers click in. Merchants aren't faring much better; no orders, no revenue, just empty screens.
"Dai Dai, it's broken, we can't get into the store!" Jian Yan stared anxiously at Xue Qian Dai.
"Don't worry, it's not a problem with our network, it must be the system. All merchants and customers are experiencing the same thing." Xue Qiandai remained calm and composed.
What should we do now?
"wait!"
Wait for the system to recover.
Meanwhile, media outlets continue to report on the results of this year's Double Eleven shopping festival. They report on how many minutes it took for sales to surpass 100 million yuan, and how many packages were generated.
Waiting is always agonizing.
"Jane, relax and chat with Senior Brother Qin. I'll let you know when the system is ready."
But Jianyan had no interest in chatting.
Qin Shu seemed to sense Jian Yan's feelings and sent her a message: "The system crashed, what are you doing?"
