Chapter 216: Accepting Your Fate and Becoming a Salted Fish
"Don't be nervous, I'll be with you until you feel familiar with it."
That being said, Shen Zhichu looked at the entire villa inside and out, but still felt unfamiliar.
She seemed so out of place, like a drop of oil staining clothes, or a mouse suddenly breaking into someone's new home.
After losing her memory, she sometimes becomes very sensitive, inferior and cowardly.
Shen Zhichu went up from the first floor to the bedroom on the second floor. He always felt that this house was missing something. When he saw the wedding photo of the two of them on the bedside, Shen Zhichu finally realized it.
Logically speaking, this was her and Li Jingshen's wedding room, so why weren't there a few wedding photos in the room? And the wedding photo on the bedside table looked like it was casually taken by someone else.
Shen Zhichu asked, "We don't have wedding photos?"
Li Jingshen had already thought of an excuse: "We got married in a hurry and didn't take wedding photos. If you want to take wedding photos, we can do it another day and hold the wedding again."
Shen Zhichu didn't really have to take wedding photos, she just wanted to look at the wedding photos and videos, hoping to remember something.
But she had none of these. She had no relatives or friends, knew nothing about the past, and had no memory of even something as important as her marriage. She relied entirely on what Zhao Qian and Li Jingshen said.
Shen Zhichu just lost her memory. She was not a fool and she clearly felt that they were fooling her about some things.
She and Li Jingshen have been married for five years, so they should have feelings for each other. But why can't they find anything to prove their marriage except a marriage certificate?
"Have you never loved me during all these years of marriage?" It wasn't a question but a calm statement of fact.
"You..." Did Shen Zhichu remember something? Li Jingshen's face suddenly turned pale, and his breath became weak.
Shen Zhichu muttered to himself, "As Zhao Qian said, I was the one who pursued you in the beginning. I think you definitely didn't like me at that time. After all, there's such a huge gap between us that we're not even remotely related."
As if remembering something, Shen Zhichu became dejected and said weakly, "Did I use some despicable trick to force you to get married? That's why we got married in such a hurry. We don't even have a wedding photo. And I can't feel any trace of us ever living here in this new house."
"We've been sleeping in separate rooms for the past five years of marriage, right? We're just husband and wife in name only?"
Shen Zhichu fell into confusion. As questions were thrown out one after another, it was originally just a guess, but the more he thought about it, the more it became so. For a while, he was trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself.
She didn't expect that she was so bad that she actually used despicable means to threaten Li Jingshen to marry her. She was in a car accident most likely because she secretly followed Li Jingshen on a business trip.
Chen Zhichu had already created a large-scale melodrama in his mind, just like what was written in online novels: one-night stand, marriage first, love later.
Li Jingshen didn't know what kind of story she was caught up in, which caused her expression to change so much, sometimes pursing her lips and sometimes frowning.
But it must be said that even though Shen Zhichu had lost his memory, his insight was still very strong. Although it was just a guess, 60% of it was correct.
In the past few years of their marriage, they were indeed just nominal husband and wife, without much deep affection. Even Li Jingshen himself didn't know when the seeds of love were planted, and by the time he discovered it, they were already deeply in love.
"Are you so nice to me now because you feel guilty?" Shen Zhichu suddenly felt aggrieved in the story he made up, his eyes red like a poor rabbit.
Li Jingshen's heart softened, and he hugged Shen Zhichu into his arms: "What nonsense, there were indeed some misunderstandings during the years we were married, but it's not as bad as you think. I really love you, not out of guilt."
"You bought the wedding photos because you thought it was troublesome. Later, I was busy with work and neglected you and didn't have time to take photos. But we had the wedding and swore in front of the priest that we would be together for life. You can't betray your vows just because you lost your memory."
Most of the second half was lies he made up on the spur of the moment.
Shen Zhichu slowly accepted it under his coaxing, "Then where do I work?"
"You don't have a job. You've been at home since you married me."
"Housewife?" Shen Zhichu was surprised again. She felt that she was smart and independent, and would go out to work anyway, but she didn't expect that she would stay at home all the time after getting married.
"Are you surprised?"
Shen Zhichu shook his head: "I'm not surprised, I just don't think I'm the kind of person who would stay at home and be a lazy person."
Li Jingshen was a little speechless. Shen Zhichu was indeed not a person who was content with the status quo. She dared to fight and never lost to men at work.
In the past, when Shen Zhichu mentioned that she wanted to go to work, Li Jingshen's first thought was to refuse, and he wanted to keep her at home like a precious flower.
But now he planned to obey Shen Zhichu's heart. If she wanted to work, he would arrange an easy job for her.
"If you want to work, come to Li's. You can choose any position you want."
"real?"
Li Jingshen said "hmm".
"Then the position of president is also possible?"
"As long as you want, I will immediately transfer the Li shares to your name."
Li Jingshen's eyes and tone were extremely serious. Shen Zhichu quickly shook his head: "I just said I was here to play, and you really took it seriously? Besides, I have amnesia and don't remember anything."
"I can teach you."
"Forget it, my hands can't even move the computer or phone."
The "car accident" caused her great harm. In addition to disability and amnesia, she also clearly felt that her memory had become very poor and her reaction was slow, and she was unable to go to work normally.
Shen Zhichu could only accept his fate and be a salted fish at home.
The servant arranged by Li Jingshen will not arrive until tomorrow. Li Jingshen can't cook, so he ordered a table of takeout.
After finishing his meal, he went to the bathroom to run some hot water. There was a little steam coming out of the bathtub. He walked out and waved at Shen Zhichu, who was looking away.
"Come in and take a shower."
Li Jingshen's voice was low and sounded sexy and alluring. He looked at Shen Zhichu, as if he had cast a net woven with tenderness with his eyes, wrapping her completely in it and leaving her with nowhere to hide.
This was not the first time Li Jingshen bathed Shen Zhichu. During the few months in the hospital, he wiped Shen Zhichu's body with his own hands every day.
