That afternoon, Lu Nong packed up her things and took a car with Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming to the city hospital to see Pei Jianan. Mother Wu stayed at home to take care of Xiao Huai and Xiao Xiazi.

Along the way, Lu Nongchun was in low spirits and didn't say a word. Pei Zheng comforted her, "Don't worry, my dad will be fine. He has been through wind and rain. He was hospitalized once when I was young. The doctor issued a critical illness notice at that time, but the old man managed to survive, and King Yan refused to admit him."

Pei Zheng patted his chest proudly. It could be seen that his words were to comfort Lu Nong as well as himself.

Lu Nong frowned deeply when he thought of Director Leng's words.

"I told you to hold on. Deputy Division Commander Pei was hit by a shell on the battlefield. He lost his memory and forgot about everyone, including you."

"Deputy Commander Pei hid it so well that no one could tell he had lost his memory at first. He was even able to handle his duties normally on his hospital bed. If he hadn't confirmed that there was no danger and told the truth about his amnesia, we would still not know about this."

"Even the doctors don't know when he finally remembered."

Amnesia... Forgot his family, forgot his comrades, even her?

The car stopped at the hospital gate and Lu Nong hesitated.

Pei Zheng pulled her out of the car and said, "Come on, what are you doing standing there? Don't you want to see the old man soon?"

Lu Nong glanced at him and said, "Director Leng told me that your father lost his memory due to the shell shock."

Pei Zheng was stunned and blurted out: "You don't even remember me, your eldest son?"

Lu Nongshi couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him, "What do you think?"

"Are you worried that he has forgotten you?" Pei Zheng recalled Lu Nong's hesitation and guessed bluntly.

Shen Jiming shook his head at Pei Zheng, signaling Pei Zheng not to be so direct.

Pei Zheng did not listen to him and asked curiously, "What are you afraid of? I, your son, am not afraid, so why should you, as his wife, be afraid?"

Lu Nong could not tell Pei Zheng that a person has loved you for a long time, and you are about to return his love, but at this moment that person suddenly loses his memory and may not love you anymore. Fear is only a small part of it, and more of it is confusion and unwillingness.

She was at a loss as to what to do next. Pei Ji'an had forgotten her and no longer loved her. Could she still take the last step?

Lu Nong thought that probably was not possible.

Lu Nong felt unwilling for himself, and also for Pei Jinan who had not lost his memory.

Just one step away, just one step away between her and Pei Ji'an.

When she was about to take the last step, Pei Ji'an retreated ninety-nine steps. How embarrassed was she?

"Let's go." Lu Nong took a deep breath. Since what had happened had already happened, there was nothing he could do no matter how unwilling he was. He could only take one step at a time and wait and see until he reached the end of the bridge.

Shen Jiming paused and lowered his hand that was about to comfort Lu Nong.

The three of them asked about Pei Jinan's attending physician's office, learned about Pei Jinan's condition from him, and then went to the ward where he was staying.

When she reached the door, Lu Nong's expression became calm instead, which was quite intimidating. She didn't show the frustrated look she had just had downstairs at all.

Pei Zheng was amazed at this reaction ability. She was indeed a stepmother. He felt that he had learned a new skill.

He opened the door and walked in first.

"Who are you? Don't you know where this is? Why do you just come in without knocking?"

In the ward, a woman in a nurse's uniform scolded Pei Zheng in a low voice, then turned around and said softly to the person sitting by the window, "Chief Pei, did I disturb you?"

Pei Zheng: “…”

No way, no way? The old man has a romantic encounter?

Lu Nong and Shen Jiming walked in.

"You..." The nurse looked at the three people with a frown.

"What do you mean by 'we'? We are Chief Pei's family." Pei Zheng said unhappily.

Lu Nong didn't pay attention to the quarrel between Pei Zheng and the nurse. As soon as she entered the ward, the first thing she saw was the man sitting by the window.

The man was not wearing a hospital gown, but his military uniform, with a gauze wrapped around his head. He had his back straight, and his body and face looked a little thin. He was holding a book in his hand, and there was medical tape on the veins on the back of his hand. However, he was not reading the book, but staring out the window in a daze.

He didn't turn around when he heard Pei Zheng opening the door.

He seemed to always like sitting by the window, and irrelevant thoughts emerged in Lu Nong's mind.

The man noticed Lu Nong's gaze, and his sharp eyes pierced him. When he met Lu Nong's gaze, he was slightly stunned.

After a moment, Pei Ji'an was the first to look away.

Lu Nong lowered his eyes.

Pei Zheng was too impatient to bother with the nurse and walked directly to Pei Ji'an, "Dad, are you okay?"

The nurse screamed in a shrill voice, "Chief Pei has a son!? You are his son!?"

Pei Zheng rolled his eyes. This nurse's intentions were obvious to everyone. He had always been annoyed by strange women who came up to him and wanted to be his stepmother.

The old man had also been hospitalized when he was a child, and the nurse who took care of him was of a much higher rank than the nurse today, at least it wasn't so obvious.

"Nonsense, my father not only has a son, but also a wife. The one behind you is her." Pei Zheng pointed at Lu Nong.

No one noticed that Pei Jian raised his eyebrows when he heard Pei Zheng's words.

The nurse frowned, this Chief Pei was the meat she had set her eyes on, and she had to ask the head nurse to eat three meals at the state-owned hotel before she got a chance to take care of him. Now she had only taken care of him for the whole morning, and before she could even eat the meat, her son and daughter-in-law showed up.

However, as a senior nurse who takes care of the chief, she has everything a nurse needs in terms of professional level, appearance, family background, and education. She doesn't believe that she will lose to other women.

Don't panic. Chief Pei's son is already grown up, and his wife must be old and ugly, a haggard-faced woman. What can you compare her with?

When they stood together, Chief Pei saw the sharp contrast between her and the yellow-faced woman, hum hum...

The nurse turned around confidently.

“…”

Damn it, how can I live with this appearance? The nurse cursed in her heart.

Don't worry, isn't it just that she looks better?

Maybe...she is uneducated and uncultured?

Having a pretty face is all show and no substance.

Pei Zheng: "Did you see it? You saw it but you're still not leaving? We're having a family reunion, what are you doing here?"

The nurse was annoyed by Pei Zheng's impolite attitude, and said to Pei Jinan in a coquettish voice, "Chief, they bullied me."

Pei Zheng: “…”

Pei Ji'an put down the book in his hand and said calmly: "Xiao Zhang, what did my son say that was wrong and bullied you? Tell me, if it makes sense, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

Nurse: "..." My last name is Wang! Not Zhang!

What made Nurse Wang even more desperate was that this was the first time that Chief Pei spoke to her at such a long distance in order to protect his son.

What could she say? I wanted to stay, but your son chased me away?

Or are you saying that your son treats me badly?

The nurse looked reluctant.

Seeing the nurse was at a loss for words, Pei Ji'an continued, "If you think my son is right, please go out. Go tell the dean that Xiao Zhou will be back tomorrow and there is no need to find someone to take his place, and Nurse Zhang doesn't need to come either."

Pei Zheng looked at the nurse smugly and said, "Did you hear that? I don't need you to take care of me anymore. Hurry up and leave."

Nurse Wang's face was like an overturned palette, all colorful and dark. At this moment, she knew that she had no hope at all. She felt sorry for the money she had to spend to treat the head nurse to three meals at the state-owned hotel. She wanted to lose her temper but did not dare to offend this family. She glared at Pei Zheng and left the ward in shame.

"Dad, you're awesome. How come I never knew you were so good at talking?" Pei Zheng gave Pei Ji'an a thumbs up.

From the moment the nurse started to act coquettishly, Lu Nong crossed her arms and watched from the sidelines as things developed. Of course, she could see the nurse's hostility, and all women understood this hostility.

Good guy, she was worried about his safety at home, but Pei Jinan was so lucky to have a beautiful woman by his side. Oh, he even developed a relationship with her. He even found an excuse, such as amnesia.

Lu Nong'e glared at Pei Jin'an fiercely and did not let up until the nurse left.

Pei Jinan looked back at Lu Nong calmly.

Pei Zheng looked at his biological father, then at his stepmother, and was confused as to how to explain this complicated relationship.

"Ahem," Pei Zheng coughed twice, "Dad, I'm your son Pei Zheng, can you accept that?"

"I can see it," Pei Jinan tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips, sitting like a boss, "You look a lot like me."

Pei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed at Lu Nong and said, "Dad, her name is Lu Nong, she is your wife, can you remember her?"

Pei Ji'an looked at Lu Nong again. Looking at Lu Nong with wide eyes, he felt very happy for some reason.

It was really strange. From the first time he looked into her eyes, his heart began beating uncontrollably. Pei Ji'an once again suppressed the urge to cover his heart with his hand, and let his heart beat violently until it calmed down.

"Uncle, I'm Shen Jiming, Pei Zheng's friend." Shen Jiming didn't call Pei Zheng uncle, but introduced himself as Pei Zheng's friend.

Pei Zheng glanced at him and thought that this boy was quite smooth.

Pei Ji'an nodded to Shen Jiming: "Hello."

"Oh, by the way," Pei Zheng suddenly said, "I forgot to ask the doctor something. Dad, you guys go ahead and talk. I'll be back soon."

He winked and nodded at Shen Jiming, who leaned forward and said, "Yes, Pei Zheng and I will go together."

The two of them walked out of the ward together, leaving only Lu Nong and Pei Jinan in the room.

As soon as Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming left, Lu Nong turned his head away and walked to the stool beside the bed and sat down without looking at Pei Ji'an.

Pei Jinan stared at Lu Nong's profile in a daze.

When Lu Nong turned around and looked at him, he lowered his head and flipped through the book in his hand.

Seeing that he was actually reading a book, Lu Nong felt angry and disappointed. He was angry that this man was in the mood to read, and disappointed that his attitude towards him was almost the same as when they first met, cold and distant.

Lu Nong couldn't stand the silence in the ward, so he stood up and walked out of the ward to calm down.

Although she knew that Pei Jian had lost his memory and it was normal that his attitude towards her was not as good as before, she still found it hard to accept when she really faced it.

Walking to the garden far away from the hospital, Lu Nong kicked the stones at his feet, sat down on the bench, and began to think of a solution with his chin in his hand.

The doctor said that although Pei Jinan had temporary amnesia, it was hard to say when he would be able to remember the past. Maybe he would recover his memory tomorrow, or maybe he would never recover his memory in this lifetime.

Pretending to be the worst, what should she do if Pei Jian could never remember it for the rest of his life?

Lu Nong gritted his teeth, feeling so unwilling. Why should Pei Ji forget it so peacefully?

Leaving her alone to remember their past?

Lu Nong thought he was just saying it in his heart, but after he finished speaking he realized he had said it out loud without realizing it.

A breeze blew, and a person appeared on the bench next to her. Lu Nong turned around and saw Pei Ji sitting next to her. He said softly, "If you are not willing, tell me what happened between us, or do it again."

Lu Nong: “…”

"Old pervert!"

Pei Ji’an: “???”

Lu Nong looked at Pei Jian'an who had a puzzled expression, and became angry. Okay, didn't you say you wanted to do it again?

She turned over and sat on Pei Jinan's lap when he was not paying attention. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the mouth.

Pei Jin'an was shocked and wanted to pull away from Lu Nong, but Lu Nong seemed to have anticipated his reaction and lowered his head to bite his Adam's apple.

This time Pei Jinan was completely shocked, his body stiffened, unable to move forward or backward.

Birds chirped in the woods, the shade of the trees blocked the view of outsiders, the spring breeze gently caressed the hair, and on a bench far away from the hustle and bustle, a handsome man hugged a beautiful woman in a protective posture.

The bird on the tree turned away hastily. Single birds hate showing off their affection the most.

Lu Nong opened his mouth, snorted, and said, "Didn't I say I would tell you? If you want to hear me explain it in detail, go ahead. If you want to do it again, you can. I'll accompany you to the end."

Pei Ji'an: "..." His wife seemed very unusual.
