Zhu Zhu felt very uncomfortable with Nan Xun's direct gaze.
Recalling what Nanxun had told her at the cocktail party about their past intimate relationship, Zhu Zhu's face flushed all the way to her ears.
Nan Xun couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw that Zhu Zhu was still as frivolous as before she lost her memory.
This reminded him of when he and Zhu Zhu had just gotten married. Back then, not so many things had happened between them, and the way Zhu Zhu looked at him was just as unreserved as it is now.
"Have I seen the accounts of Pearl Island that I gave you?" Nan Xun said.
Zhu Zhu nodded. She had been looking at it for several days and her eyes were almost blinded.
"So what are your plans?" Nan Xun asked, "Are you going to divorce me for real? Or are you going to stay with me for such a large betrothal gift?"
Zhu Zhu had been pondering this question over and over again for the past few days. She knew exactly how much money Pearl Island was receiving each month. She had even verified it with her bank statements.
But the problem was that she didn't have that much money in her account. She didn't know how to pay Nanxun back.
"Well..." Zhu Zhu was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I checked the money in the card, and there's not that much. And I have lost my memory, so I don't know where I spent it. Look... can I give you the money slowly?"
Nanxun laughed. He knew Zhu Zhu had never had a clue about money. When he gave her the island, she had no idea of its value.
Later, with so many things happening one after another, Zhu Zhu had no time to care about the Pearl Island incident. No wonder she was so surprised when she first checked.
"Think carefully," Nanxun said. "This island is only worth 40% of its value. If you return it to me, it would be like giving me a mountain of gold."
When Zhu Zhu heard Nan Xun's analysis of the value of the island, she couldn't help but feel pain.
Pearl Island has only been developed 40% and it's already making so much money. If it were 100% developed, it would be enough for the Zhu family to live in luxury for several lifetimes.
But on second thought, Zhu Zhu felt it was not safe to keep the money.
Nanxun claimed that they had faked a divorce in order to investigate the cause of his parents' death. Their previous attempt to deal with An Yiqing had nearly cost him his life. This time, he feared, would be even more dangerous.
No matter how much money you have, your life is more important. Zhu Zhu came to this conclusion after a lot of ideological struggle.
Having money but no life to spend it is the greatest sorrow in life.
"I... I'd better give it back to you." Zhu Zhu said word by word, "I have amnesia now, and I don't remember anything about our past. I really don't know if we really turned fake into real like you said. So... I think it's better to start over no matter what..."
Nanxun's brows twisted unconsciously into the shape of a "川" after hearing Zhu Zhu's words. Zhu Zhu had lost her memory, but he didn't believe that the feeling deep in his heart would disappear along with her memory.
"Since you've made up your mind, I can't force you any further." Nan Xun was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Since you want to start over, let's start over our relationship as well."
"Start over?" Zhu Zhu didn't quite understand what Nan Xun meant. "How can we start our relationship over again?"
"Don't you have enough money now to pay me back the money I earned from Pearl Island?" Nan Xun curled his lips and continued, "How about this. Pearl Island is still in your name, and we'll try to get along again. If you fall in love with me again, we'll remarry."
Zhu Zhu looked at Nan Xun in surprise.
"This...is not good."
"Then pay me back now." Nanxun's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else's family. "I'm a businessman, I don't do business that loses money."
Seeing Zhu Zhu looking at a loss as to what to do, Nan Xun chuckled.
"Since you're silent, I'll take it as your agreement," Nanxun said. "I'll stamp it so you don't default on it."
Before Zhu Zhu could react, she felt a warm touch on her lips.
Nan Xun just kissed her, and Zhu Zhu couldn't resist.
