Xu Wan didn't understand. "Shouldn't the auction results be kept confidential? Even if you lie to them, they won't know, right?"
"No, they bribed the housekeeper in my room to confirm this. I later contacted that housekeeper, but unfortunately he died in a car accident not long after I escaped."
The man was talking about a car accident, and Xu Wan guessed that it probably wasn't an accident.
Xu Wan looked at the man blankly, "But... no one has contacted me to ask for that diamond."
“Yes, because I can’t involve you.” Jiang Tingzhou held the woman’s hand. “I dealt with them for more than a month before I finally found a chance to escape. I stole their car and used the phone in the car to contact Ying Gan, but they soon discovered that my car had been hit by a stray bullet and thrown down the mountain. I woke up two years later.”
Jiang Tingzhou simply recounted what happened.
He didn't mention a word about the treatment he received during the more than one month he was detained.
He was afraid that if he told her, Xu Wan wouldn't be able to handle it.
"When I woke up, I was in a state of amnesia for a period of time and didn't remember many things. It was Ying Gan who told me about my identity. I went to investigate the events of that year and finally found out what happened before."
"So how did you regain your memories?"
This is the issue that Xu Wan cares about most.
The man reached out and pulled the woman into his arms, leaning down to kiss her cheek. He said, "I had someone follow you for a long time, sending me every single thing you did. I watched it over and over again. I saw you pregnant while fighting a lawsuit, I saw you sitting blankly at the place where we first met, I saw you chasing after someone who looked like me, only to stand there stunned after realizing you'd mistaken me. What impressed me most was when someone chased after you, saying I was dead. You were furious that day, you even pushed that person into the fountain..."
The man spoke slowly and deliberately.
It was as if it was helping her recall the bits and pieces of those years.
As Xu Wan listened, tears streamed down her face.
She was truly desperate during those years, but there were too many things she couldn't let go of: An Yunya's case, her mother who had just been released from prison, and the child in her womb.
Nothing could stop her from acting recklessly.
To reassure those who care about her, she could only pretend to be strong.
“The person I sent to follow you came back and told me that you sat alone in a corner and cried for a long, long time. When I looked at the photos he gave me, I realized how much I felt for you. Even though you lost your memory and were so far away, I fell in love with you all over again through the pictures and videos that others sent me.”
Jiang Tingzhou ran his fingers across the woman's cheek to kiss away the falling tears.
Xu Wan was somewhat surprised, "You didn't... actually never regain your memories, did you?"
The man pinched her nose and smiled, "What are you thinking? How could that be... Not long after that day, I gradually remembered everything."
"real?"
Xu Wan was skeptical.
The man gently ran his fingers through the woman's hair, cradling the back of her head and turning her face toward him. "After remembering everything, I dream of you almost every night, and in my dreams, I'm holding you like this..."
The man's eyes were deep as he leaned down and gently kissed the woman's lips.
He pushed the woman closer to him, his teeth gently brushing against her lips, his tongue probing between her teeth, tenderly touching the familiar spot.
However, this kiss was like a sugar-coated pill. As the kiss deepened, the gentle sugar coating faded, revealing an overwhelming surge of longing that had nowhere to hide.
The man's hands supported the woman's back, gradually abandoning his restraint, pressing their bodies even closer together, forcefully taking the air from the woman's lungs, and infusing it with his longing.
