"Her!" Shang Duojin stuffed an opened lollipop into his mouth and said impatiently, "She still insists on marrying me, but I made it very clear that I have no feelings for her. Who knew she would be so shameless as to act like she didn't hear me and keep saying that she would marry me after I graduate from the Federal Academy."
Qiao Mei frowned: "Then your parents..."
Before he could finish his question, Xu Heyu answered the phone, so he had to hold back and ask where Xu Heyu was.
Judging from the background, he wasn't in the hospital, but outside.
"Little Rose? Are you alright?"
Xu Heyu keenly noticed that her eyes had become clearer, no longer as fiery and sticky as before, and quickly guessed what was going on.
Qiao Mei nodded and asked him, "Where is he now?"
"Something came up with with the interstellar military, and I need to go back and deal with it. I didn't expect you to wake up. In that case, how about I ask the military for leave..."
"No need," Qiao Mei interrupted him. "You just need to carry it out. I just wanted to tell you that it wasn't your responsibility that I fell and hit my head last night. Don't take it to heart."
She doesn't really want to see Xu Heyu again right now.
After all, the original owner had made some rather suggestive remarks last night, asking Xu Heyu to marry her, which was indeed a bit awkward.
Most importantly, she didn't want Ao Cang to see her with Xu Heyu again.
She has fully accepted the original owner's memories of the past year and knows exactly how many things "she" did to hurt Ao Cang during that year. Of course, she can no longer continue to entangle with Xu Heyu.
Once they were sure she was alright, Xu Hui and Li Chonghua left.
As for Qiao Mei and her group, Shang Duojin said he would invite them to his family's manor for dinner to celebrate Qiao Mei regaining her memory.
"I also got two bottles of century-old fruit wine from my eldest sister, so you guys got a good deal!"
During that year, even without Shang Duojin and the others saying anything, just by searching through the original owner's memories, Qiao Mei knew how many outrageous things she had done to hurt Shu Qingqing and Shang Duojin.
While I was somewhat expecting Shang Duojin to be so happy, I also felt a little guilty.
If a normal person experiences such a drastic change in a friend's personality, nine times out of ten they would probably stop trying to remain friends.
However, Shang Duojin and the others continued to tolerate it with great understanding, which touched her deeply.
When they arrived at his estate, while waiting for the servants to prepare the meal, she asked him and Shu Qingqing why they hadn't chosen to sever their friendship.
“I have all my memories from before, and I know that I did have a terrible personality back then. Don’t you feel angry and disgusted?”
Shu Qingqing handed half of the peeled orange to Qiao Mei, and as she stuffed it into her mouth, she said angrily:
"Of course I think so, but I firmly believe that it's all because you have amnesia. Before, as a friend, you were always very good to me and Boss Shang. I don't believe you will continue to have amnesia, so I made a promise with Boss Shang that we would never sever ties with you."
"Looking back now, we were right to make that decision!"
Shang Duojin nodded in agreement: "Sister Qiao, you have no idea how stifled we were at the Federal Academy without your protection. Not only was there no one to guide us, but we also had no one to ask for guidance on questions we didn't understand. We didn't even dare to approach the teachers. We were completely numb."
In general, they will continue to choose to be friends with her, relying entirely on the favors she had done for them and the friendship between them.
She didn't mention that this friendship would eventually run out, but instead, with a warm heart, she asked Shang Duojin about the things she hadn't had time to ask him at the hospital.
"Let's get back to Wan Shishi. What's your parents' attitude?"
Shang Duojin felt annoyed whenever he heard Wan Shishi's name. After scratching his head, he told Qiao Mei that his engagement with Wan Shishi was arranged by the older generation, and it wouldn't be so easy to break it off.
In addition, he heard that the engagement was made possible because the old man of the Wan family saved his maternal grandfather's life.
When human lives are involved, things naturally become very complicated.
"The only reason that can be agreed upon by both sides to dissolve the engagement is that I also saved Wan Shishi's life."
Qiao Mei frowned and subconsciously replied, "It's not impossible, but we need to discuss the specifics of how to do it."
Shang Duojin was just joking; he didn't expect Qiao Mei to take it seriously.
I was still a little confused after hearing what she said.
"Really? Sister Qiao, you're willing to do this for me?"
The Wan family is not a kind-hearted group, and it will not be easy to create a false impression that they can believe.
Not to mention getting Wan Shishi to help coordinate as well.
If this plan were to be implemented, one can imagine how difficult it would be.
Qiao Mei nodded: "Of course, but before that, there's one more question I forgot to ask you. When you were investigating Wan Shishi's past, did you find anything?"
Her intuition told her that Wan Shishi must be hiding some secret.
Otherwise, why would she insist on marrying a wealthy businessman for no apparent reason?
"I suppose so. The people I sent out investigated and found that before Wan Shishi returned to the Wan family, she gave a large sum of money to the neighbors, and I still haven't been able to find out where those neighbors are now."
"Aside from this, there's nothing else for now."
The servants who were serving the dishes started bringing them over one after another. Qiao Mei could only stop asking questions and whispered to Ao Cang, asking him what he thought.
Ao Cang hadn't felt her closeness for a long time.
Seeing her so close suddenly made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"How about we take some time to go there again? See if you can help us find any clues."
Ao Cang's gaze fell on her slightly dry lips, and he really wanted to moisten them for her, so he didn't hear what she was saying at all.
It wasn't until Qiao Mei tugged at his finger and repeated herself that he snapped out of his daze and nodded in agreement.
"An'an, can we sleep together tonight?"
Previously, Qiao Mei's body had been occupied by someone else, and he didn't even want to hold her hand, let alone sleep with her.
After a year, he had long been holding back to the breaking point.
Now that he can touch her again, how could he possibly continue to hold back?
While Shang Duojin and Shu Qingqing were still not far away, Qiao Mei heard Ao Cang say such bold and obvious words, which startled her so much that she subconsciously looked at Shang Duojin and the others.
Fortunately, he and Shu Qingqing were discussing tonight's dishes and didn't seem to notice.
She breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, "But you have to promise to listen to me and not to be too reckless."
She had been unable to resist his advances in the past, and after such a major event, they hadn't been intimate for a year. She felt that Ao Cang might lose control.
Ao Cang's golden eyes flickered, and he nodded.
Shang Duojin and the others had no idea what Qiao Mei and Ao Cang were talking about. Seeing that all the dishes were served, they called them to start eating.
"By the way, the academy is organizing a viewing event for the Star-level Monster Battlefield next week. Sister Qiao, you didn't know that, did you? The academy sent out the message last night."
