Chapter 664 He Remembers Everything, But Forgotten Her
After the awards ceremony, there was a celebratory banquet hosted by the organizers.
All award recipients, mentors, and project stakeholders will attend.
Qi Yue is the biggest investor in this competition, but whether he participates or not depends entirely on his own mood.
Shen Anning had been looking around ever since the banquet began.
Chu Yuke walked over to her with two glasses of champagne and handed her one.
Shen Anning turned her gaze back to Chu Yuke, smiled slightly, and reached out to take the wine glass.
"Are you waiting for your handsome and wealthy boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend anymore." Shen Anning's eyes were downcast, and she looked dejected.
Her voice was very soft, and Chu Yuke didn't hear it clearly, so she leaned closer and asked, "What did you just say?"
Shen Anning looked up, about to speak, when the banquet hall doors opened—
"President Qi is here!"
Shen Anning suddenly turned around.
Qi Yue was surrounded by several middle-aged men in suits.
Even though he was also wearing a black suit, he stood out from the crowd of black people.
Shen Anning tightened her grip on the champagne glass slightly, and even her breathing became softer.
Qi Yue was standing next to Luo Dongjin, and he saw Shen Anning.
Shen Anning's attention was entirely focused on Qi Yue, so she didn't notice the complex emotions that flashed across Luo Dongjin's eyes when he saw her.
Surrounded by a group of successful people older than him, Qi Yue still maintained the demeanor of a superior, and the indifference in his eyes made him appear even more powerful.
Looking at Qi Yue like this, Shen Anning felt an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity rise in her heart once again.
Can a person really change so much in just two months?
"What's going on with you guys?"
Shen Anning's arm was nudged by Chu Yuke beside her. She turned her head and met Chu Yuke's scrutinizing gaze.
Chu Yuke asked, "Did you two have a fight?"
Shen Anning frowned, hesitating whether or not to tell Chu Yuke the truth.
Chu Yuke understood her behavior.
"How could you break up over the New Year?" Chu Yuke sighed regretfully. "Is this all there is to childhood sweetheart love?"
Shen Anning pursed her lips, her hand gripping the champagne glass tightened, turning white.
"However, I have a feeling he came here for you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning's eyebrows twitched. "Really?"
"Otherwise, why would he be the one to invest in this project? And even if he did invest, there's no need for him to travel all the way from Beicheng to personally present the award to the champion, right? He must have already planned this out!"
Shen Anning's gloomy mood improved somewhat because of Chu Yuke's words.
But the thought that Qi Yue, even though he was face to face with her during the award ceremony, wouldn't even glance at her made her heart ache again.
Shen Anning lowered her eyes. "But he ignores me."
At this moment, Qi Yue walked over, holding a wine glass.
"He's here!" Chu Yuke excitedly nudged Shen Anning. "It's common for young couples to argue, fight, and break up. Just take the initiative to apologize for how handsome and rich he is!"
When Chu Yuke pushed Shen Anning, the champagne glass in her hand tilted uncontrollably forward, spilling the champagne.
It spilled onto Qi Yue's expensive suit jacket.
Qi Yue paused, his gaze sweeping over Shen Anning, who had just regained her footing. His eyes were cold, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Shen Anning: "..."
She swore she didn't mean it.
Luo Dongjin hurriedly took out a handkerchief and stepped forward to help Qi Yue wipe the wine stains off his suit.
Qi Yue raised his hand to block it, and the crease between his brows deepened.
Luo Dongjin immediately stopped.
Qi Yue's gaze remained fixed on Shen Anning.
He didn't speak, but the displeasure in his eyes was...
Shen Anning stared at Qi Yue, her heart pounding. "Qi Yue, I..."
"Uncle Luo, you handle this." Qi Yue withdrew his gaze, said this, and turned to walk straight towards the organizing chairman.
Shen Anning stood frozen in place.
Qi Yue ignored him once again...
Luo Dongjin looked at Shen Anning, his expression complex. "Miss Shen, may we speak in private?"
Shen Anning's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at Luo Dongjin and nodded gently.
...
Leaving the banquet hall, walk west along the corridor to find a large viewing balcony garden.
In early spring in Beijing, the nights are heavy with dew.
The air was damp, and the night wind was chilly and biting.
"...Yun Qin is Mr. Qi's psychologist. That day, Mr. Qi called her back to cooperate with his act, but after you left, Mr. Qi got very angry with Yun Qin. It took Yun Qin almost a week for his condition to improve. He said that breaking up was a well-considered decision. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue with you, but rather that he was increasingly unable to control his emotions. He was afraid that if things continued like this, he would do something terrible to you. So, he endured the pain and chose a mutually destructive way to cruelly sever your relationship..."
"But after you actually left, Mr. Qi regretted it. He lost control of his emotions and, ignoring our attempts to stop him, drove after you alone, only to be involved in a car accident on the way to the airport..."
After hearing Luo Dongjin's words, Shen Anning's mind went blank.
She stared blankly at Luo Dongjin, her face already soaked with tears.
Mental illness, car accident...
how so?
Shen Anning covered her mouth and sobbed uncontrollably.
Luo Dongjin looked at her and sighed heavily, "Miss Shen, what I'm telling you tonight is entirely my personal decision. I know that if President Qi regains his memory and finds out I told you these things without his permission, he definitely won't forgive me easily. But I'm also an elder who has watched you grow up. If you can be happy together, I really wish you could be together forever, growing old together. But..."
What Luo Dongjin was about to say felt cruel even to himself, so he lowered his eyes, unable to bear looking at Shen Anning any longer. "I know how much President Qi likes you, but he has indeed suffered a lot because of it. His illness was certainly not caused by you, but after waking up from the car accident, he remembered everyone except you. Miss Yunqin said that things reach their extremes and then reverse. His feelings for you are like opium; once you're hooked, it's an uncontrollable addiction that will turn him into a madman who can be controlled at any time. He was afraid of this outcome, so he lost his memory in the car accident. He remembers everything except you."
I've forgotten about you the only one...
Shen Anning froze, the last trace of color draining from her face.
At this moment, she finally understood why she always felt that Qi Yue had become a stranger when she saw him again.
It turns out she wasn't overthinking things.
Qi Yue forgot about her.
"Then..." Shen Anning's voice choked with emotion, "will he regain his memories?"
Luo Dongjin looked up and saw a glimmer of hope in her tear-filled eyes.
Luo Dongjin shook his head. "Nobody can say for sure, but Yun Qin said that psychogenic amnesia is often caused by the intervention of a latent personality. In other words, Xiao Qi's subconscious may be..."
