Chapter 445
Ji Hengchuan was somewhat stiff, his body tense.
He immediately looked at Rong Rong, only to find that Rong Rong's reaction was indifferent, and the way she looked at Zhou Yu'an was as if she were looking at a stranger.
Ji Hengchuan breathed a silent sigh of relief, his heart, which had been pounding in his chest, slowly calmed down.
"President Ji, is this... your girlfriend?" Zhou Yu'an asked, his voice calm, but his eyes betrayed his eagerness.
"Don't you recognize President Zhou?" Ji Hengchuan smiled, but there was something ambiguous in his smile.
It seems that Zhou Yu'an and Rong Rong really didn't have much interaction before, just as Zhou Yu'an said, otherwise how could Zhou Yu'an not recognize Rong Rong?
Having figured this out, Ji Hengchuan felt happier than ever before.
However, his joy didn't last long before he realized that Zhou Yu'an didn't know Rong Rong, but Rong Rong had a crush on Zhou Yu'an.
Instantly, Ji Hengchuan felt something strange in his heart, something he couldn't quite explain. In short, his gaze toward Zhou Yu'an grew colder and more hostile.
Ji Hengchuan was inexperienced and didn't know that there was a word that perfectly described his current mood: jealousy.
He glared at Zhou Yu'an, then smiled and said, "This is my fiancée."
"Fiancée?" Zhou Yu'an asked in surprise, his voice even cracking slightly. He completely lost his composure, drawing the attention of the people around him.
They couldn't believe that the intelligent, wise, mature, and composed CEO Zhou would make such a sound. But looking at the stunning beauty opposite them, they suddenly felt that everything made sense.
They also wanted to cry out, why does such a beautiful woman have a fiancé?
Why did they only meet such a beautiful woman after they were already married?
Don't they feel regret? Aren't they tempted?
They knew they weren't good enough for each other, and they were getting old.
Zhou Yu'an, on the other hand, is in his prime, single, outstanding, and powerful.
They looked at Zhou Yu'an with envy, and at Ji Hengchuan with even more envy.
They were all from the upper class in City A, so they naturally knew President Ji Hengchuan.
They immediately adopted a spectator's mentality until someone suddenly realized what was happening.
"President Ji's fiancée? Isn't that the Rong family's daughter? The Miss Rong who just woke up recently?"
"Yes! That's right!"
"I heard Miss Rong has woken up? Congratulations! It seems Miss Rong is recovering well."
Several people vied to speak with Rong Rong, but Rong Rong didn't recognize them and simply nodded and thanked them with a polite smile.
Ji Hengchuan introduced everyone to Rong Rong one by one; many of them were the same age as Rong Rong's parents.
Rong Rong addressed all her uncles in turn, which drew sighs from the crowd.
Ah, youth is truly wonderful!
"Old Rong has such a good daughter, but he has always kept her hidden."
"Exactly, why didn't you introduce us to everyone sooner?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Rong Rong appeared well-behaved and quiet. Ji Hengchuan looked at Zhou Yu'an, only to see that Zhou Yu'an's gaze towards Rong Rong was full of amazement and intense.
Ji Hengchuan sneered. Zhou Yu'an seemed to sense something and turned his head. Their eyes met, and they both saw the coldness and determination in each other's eyes.
Zhou Yu'an pushed up his glasses, concealing the fleeting cold glint in his eyes. Then he resumed his usual polite demeanor, as if Ji Hengchuan had simply imagined his sharp expression.
Zhou Yu'an gazed at Rong Rong with gentle eyes, "Long time no see. Congratulations on your recovery. Let's get together with Gao Ying, Zhuang Rui and the others another day to celebrate your new life."
The only time Zhou Yu'an and Rong Rong crossed paths was in high school, when they were both selected by their school to go abroad as exchange students for a month.
Gao Ying and Zhuang Rui, whom Zhou Yu'an mentioned, were also their teammates. Although they were not in the same grade or class, the group of teenagers, unfamiliar with the place and people abroad, banded together for mutual support and quickly formed a friendship.
It was at this time that Rong Rong fell in love with Zhou Yu'an. People always admire strength, especially when they are lonely and weak.
Zhou Yu'an is the captain of the exchange student team. He is almost omnipotent, takes care of all his teammates, and is both considerate and strong.
However, their team only interacted during high school, and after college, they went their separate ways and rarely kept in touch.
However, Zhou Yu'an is now using this friendship as an excuse to hold a gathering, which is not unreasonable and can also evoke shared memories between the two.
pity......
"Uh, I'm sorry, I slept for so long, I don't quite remember things from before. May I ask who you are...?"
The sweet, soft voice, which was originally captivating, now turned into a sharp sword, piercing Zhou Yu'an's heart.
The surroundings were deathly quiet, so quiet it was suffocating.
Rong Rong looked at Ji Hengchuan uneasily. Ji Hengchuan smiled silently, both to comfort Rong Rong and to mock Zhou Yu'an.
He didn't know if Rong Rong's claim of not recognizing him was true or false, but that didn't affect his good mood at all!
Zhou Yu'an's face was visibly dark. He tried his best to control his expression and said as naturally as possible, "I am Zhou Yu'an. Junior, you've forgotten me just like that? I'm really heartbroken!"
Rong Rong's eyes widened suddenly. This was the person the original owner loved? He looked like a pervert.
Rong Rong felt that Ji Hengchuan was better. She unconsciously leaned closer to Ji Hengchuan. As soon as she did this, some people smiled more and others looked gloomy.
"Ha, my memory's failing me." Rong Rong was embarrassed and wanted to get away quickly, so she turned around and grabbed Ji Hengchuan's arm and shook it. "Brother Chuan, didn't you say you'd go shopping with me? Let's go! The mall will be closed if we're late!"
Ji Hengchuan's heart skipped a beat, but he steadied himself and smiled, "Okay, let's go now."
After saying this, he nodded to everyone, greeted them, and left with Rong Rong.
Finally, Ji Hengchuan's gaze toward Zhou Yu'an was filled with contempt and provocation. Zhou Yu'an remained unmoved, but a storm was brewing in his eyes.
Once they finally stepped out of the restaurant, Rong Rong breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Hengchuan frowned, pretending not to care, and asked, "Have you really forgotten Zhou Yu'an?"
What does this mean? Rong Rong's alarm bells rang loudly. Did Ji Hengchuan know that the original owner of this body liked Zhou Yu'an?
It's no wonder Rong Rong is sensitive; it's a woman's intuition. She sensed that Ji Hengchuan's tone when he asked the question was strange, as if he knew something.
However, if Ji Hengchuan really knew, and still waited so long for the original owner, it further proves that Ji Hengchuan really had no feelings for the original owner and was just using the original owner as a shield.
In any case, Rong Rong was quite certain that Ji Hengchuan couldn't have been waiting for the original owner of the body because of love; she knew that the two of them hadn't had much contact.
That's good. Rong Rong felt more at ease and also felt that some things needed to be clarified to avoid future trouble.
"I have indeed forgotten a lot of things, but I saw the name Zhou Yu'an some time ago. To be honest, I used to... like him."
As Rong Rong finished speaking, Ji Hengchuan's heart tightened, but Rong Rong continued.
"However, I've already forgotten about it and don't like it anymore, so you don't need to worry. Our cooperation can continue, and I guarantee I haven't done anything out of line."
We were engaged before, but I fell in love with someone else and didn't tell you. It was wrong of me, and I promise it won't happen again.
Rong Rong looked serious, and Ji Hengchuan slowly let out a sigh of relief, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.
She forgot! It turns out Rong Rong forgot about Zhou Yu'an!
At this moment, Ji Hengchuan wanted to shout out loud, disregarding his image.
