After a year apart, he naturally had to put on the act of being extremely expectant.
Qiao Mei's nightgown is easy to unravel.
Just as he was about to try to untie it himself, Ao Cang's large hand reached out.
His expression was serious, as if he were unwrapping some valuable gift.
She wasn't used to him acting like this and tried to reach out to refuse, but his large hand gripped her wrist tightly, preventing her from moving an inch.
Everything that followed happened as a matter of course.
She was right; Ao Cang had always had very poor self-control.
She only had a chance to close her eyes and rest when the first light of dawn appeared.
Before going to sleep, she thought that even if Ao Cang hadn't asked her to stay home with him all day, she probably wouldn't be able to go out to run errands in her current state.
When she woke up again, it was already 2 p.m., which startled her.
He shifted his body slightly, but the large hand around her waist remained tightly wrapped around his waist.
Ao Cang seemed to realize she was awake, so he loosened his grip a little and asked if she was hungry. He went to prepare some food for her.
Qiao Mei asked in surprise, "You can cook for yourself now?"
Before she left, Ao Cang was doing a very bad job.
"Well, if you don't cook for me, I can't go hungry, so I've learned quite a few dishes myself. You can try them and see how good my cooking is."
He released Qiao Mei, letting the thin blanket slide off his body, revealing his strong and powerful physique. Qiao Mei was stunned by the sight and quickly closed her eyes.
Even so, the scene she had just witnessed was still imprinted in her mind.
She didn't remember what she did to him yesterday, but judging from the many scratches and bite marks on his body, she had indeed gone a bit too far yesterday.
Ao Cang knew that Qiao Mei had always been all talk and no action, so he wasn't surprised to see her like this.
After I got out of bed with my long legs, I felt a little pain on the inside of my thighs.
Upon closer inspection, the area where the teeth marks were left had already developed bluish-black bruises.
He glanced back at Qiao Mei and, finding she wasn't looking at him, breathed a sigh of relief before tending to his wounds.
Qiao Mei sensed that there was no movement, so she timidly opened one eye.
All that could be seen was a rather messy interior; there was no sign of Ao Cang.
So she got out of bed, dressed and washed up, and then turned on her desktop computer to contact Yan Qing and ask how her company was doing.
If the company's operations are performing poorly, then her plan to join her company can be postponed.
Yan Qing hadn't contacted Qiao Mei for a long time, mainly because after her personality changed drastically, she no longer touched anything related to mecha.
She was a little confused when she suddenly received a message from Qiao Mei today.
After typing a question mark, Qiao Mei told her that she had regained her lost memories and apologized for the stupid things the original owner of the body had done.
Not only did the original owner of this body fawn over Xu Heyu, but she also took advantage of Yan Qing's resources, using all the benefits she received from Yan Qing to give to Xu Heyu.
When she accepted this part of her memory, she couldn't understand why a normal human brain would work this way.
Yan Qing had been deceived by the original owner of the body many times before and had lost a lot of resources. This time, she did not trust Qiao Mei quickly, but instead made a video call to Qiao Mei using her personal terminal.
Words can be faked, but people cannot.
Qiao Mei answered the call directly, looking apologetically at Yan Qing on the screen, who had hardly changed at all.
"Gan Gan, it's been a long time."
Yan Qing had basically never heard the name "Gan Gan" since Qiao Mei lost her memory.
Now, looking into her cool, red eyes through the video, Yan Qing suddenly felt a lump in her throat and tentatively called out, "Rose?"
Qiao Mei nodded: "It's me. I'm really sorry for what happened this past year."
Yan Qing almost thought that Qiao Mei would continue to be like that, but now that she has suddenly returned to normal, she is overjoyed and would never blame her.
So I sniffed, my nose stinging, and asked her when she would have time to get together for a meal.
When did you recover?
"Just yesterday, I bumped my head at Xu Heyu's birthday party and was hospitalized. When I woke up, I remembered my previous memories."
Yan Qing also knew about Xu Heyu's birthday party, and she also gave a gift as a token gesture.
After carefully examining the gauze still on Qiao Mei's forehead and realizing it wasn't too serious, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he told Qiao Mei that she was managing "He Qing Hai Yan" very well.
"You want to come directly to my company? Of course, that's no problem, you..."
"No." Qiao Mei shook her head to interrupt her, telling her that she just wanted to see if she should speed up the mecha manufacturing process based on her company's operational situation.
"Now that I know your company is doing well, I will work harder and let you know when it's finished."
After saying that, Qiao Mei seemed to remember something and asked her again if she knew Shang Duojin's childhood betrothed.
Yan Qing nodded: "I know, what's wrong?"
"Can you find out anything about her past? Boss Shang seems to have someone he likes right now."
Qiao Mei recalled seeing Shu Qingqing eating a lollipop at the hospital yesterday and remembering to get one for Shang Duojin as well. She vaguely guessed that their relationship was definitely not just that of ordinary friends.
Yan Qing's family is wealthy and powerful, so finding information is naturally not a problem for them.
But compared to her shop, other shops aren't actually that much different.
Logically speaking, if the merchants can't find the information, the Yan family might not be able to find it either.
Qiao Mei didn't have much hope.
Unexpectedly, she arrived at the Federal Academy on Monday, and Yan Qing replied to her that afternoon after school, saying that he had found more information related to Wan Shishi.
She opened the message package and saw that it contained not only her experiences from childhood to adulthood, but also details of her hospital visits and their purpose.
She had never quite understood why Shang Duojin had told her that the Yan family was fully capable of being among the four great families, and even stronger than his family in some aspects.
Only now does she realize that what Shang Duojin said was true.
The information the Yan family found was more than twice as much as that of the merchants.
After quickly reading the message, she forwarded it to the "Three Sworn Brothers" group chat.
[Third Sister Qiao Mei]: "Take a look, this is what I asked Gan Gan to investigate about Wan Shishi's past. After you've read it, let's discuss what to do then."
The matter has been delayed for a year, and much of the information that might have been usable before is probably no longer valid. If the delay continues, it's unknown how much of the information we find will be outdated.
This matter should be resolved as soon as possible.
Shang Duojin and his colleague understood this principle, and after reading it, they each proposed different solutions.
Shang Duojin suggested that they first go to the hospital that Wan Shishi went to to see what she was doing there and why she went there so frequently during that period.
