She pressed herself against him so tenderly, wrapping her arms around his waist.
Her soft, boneless hands embraced his waist as she leaned in with a fragrant scent.
Duan Jinchi had never encountered such a “honey trap” before!
His hanging hands involuntarily curled. “Yes, do you remember anything?”
“Hmm… I think I do!”
Remember?
Remember?
How could she possibly remember!
Even he was seeing his room decorated like this for the first time.
How could she have any memory of it?
Was Song Yinxi hallucinating?
How serious was it!
They had just completed her hospital discharge procedures today—was she going to end up back in the hospital?
Should she be sent to the psychiatric department?
“It’s exactly the style I like. You’re so good to me, darling. After marrying me, you’ve been so accommodating. I’m so happy to have married such a gentle and considerate husband. I just hope we won’t argue in the future, and even if we do, you won’t throw the wedding ring…” Song Yinxi said with a cheerful smile.
“I’ll try my best.”
Given Song Yinxi’s temperament, Duan Jinchi felt the chances of them never arguing in the future were quite slim.
It was better not to make absolute promises.
╭(╯^╰)╮
What a dog of a man!
Couldn’t he even say something to comfort her?
With his attitude, it was no wonder Duan Jinchi couldn’t find a wife.
Oh…
That was exactly why—since no one wanted him, he took advantage of her pretending to have amnesia to pose as her husband.
What a scheming man!
“Wow!”
“Darling!!”
“Is that the ring to make up for the lost one?”
Song Yinxi’s gaze fell on the coffee table.
Duan Jinchi’s eyes flickered. “It should be.”
Song Yinxi released his waist, walked over, and picked up the box.
A ring worth twenty-five million was just casually placed on the coffee table.
It truly reflected her taste.
Not bad at all!
The diamond ring sparkled brilliantly, exquisitely beautiful—barely worthy of her, she supposed.
Song Yinxi handed the ring to Duan Jinchi. “Darling, will you help me put it on?”
“Alright.”
Duan Jinchi took the ring and reached for her hand.
But Song Yinxi suddenly sat down on the sofa.
Duan Jinchi looked puzzled. “The ring isn’t on yet.”
Song Yinxi giggled mischievously. “Darling, we’re husband and wife. This is the wedding ring you’re giving me to make up for the lost one. Since it’s a wedding ring, of course you should kneel on one knee to put it on me!”
She stretched out her right hand like a proud little kitten. “Come on, darling~”
Duan Jinchi stood frozen in place.
Kneel on one knee!
She…
Fine!
Song Yinxi!
You’ve got some nerve!
If it weren’t for your amnesia, you wouldn’t even dream of this!
Seeing him standing motionless, Song Yinxi said, “Darling, darling! What are you spacing out for? Are you reminiscing about when you proposed to me? How selfish of you—you know I’ve lost my memory, yet you keep those memories to yourself instead of telling me how you proposed.”
He never had.
He had never knelt on one knee either.
But…
He was the one who started the lies.
Song Yinxi’s request wasn’t unreasonable for a real married couple.
He would endure it!!
Those who achieve great things don’t fuss over minor details!
Dressed entirely in black, Duan Jinchi slowly knelt on the pure white wool carpet.
He…
Had actually knelt on one knee before his arch-rival!
And was about to put a ring on her finger!
Duan Jinchi felt like he was having a heart attack.
Yet, right in front of him, Song Yinxi’s rosy cheeks glowed like peach blossoms, her amber eyes gazing at him with deep affection, her lips slightly upturned—every detail radiated her current happiness and anticipation.
How…
Could he disappoint her!
Duan Jinchi gently held her fingers and slowly slid the ring onto her ring finger.
At this moment…
For a moment, Duan Jinchi felt dazed, as if he had actually succeeded in proposing.
“Honey~”
Song Yinxi pretended to be moved, her eyes reddening as she began to sniffle softly…
“Why are you crying? Don’t cry! Even if you’ve lost your memory, I still love you.” Duan Jinchi comforted her. “If we ever argue in the future and you throw away the ring, I’ll buy you another one.”
“That would be such a waste! It cost over twenty million!” Song Yinxi feigned distress.
It wasn’t her money anyway.
Since Duan Jinchi had said so, maybe she should find an opportunity to pick a fight later, throw the ring away, and get a new one!
“Honey, bring out your wedding ring. Let me put it on for you,” Song Yinxi said with a smile.
“I’ll go get it.”
Duan Jinchi stood up and headed toward the walk-in closet.
Although he usually disliked accessories, he seemed to have a ring somewhere.
He’d just grab any one.
After taking a few steps, Duan Jinchi glanced back discreetly and saw Song Yinxi admiring the diamond ring with delight. Relieved, he continued on.
Entering the walk-in closet, his eyes widened in equal surprise.
Was this still his closet??
It was filled with girls’ clothes now—colorful, varied, and even more numerous than his own belongings.
Not only that, but when he pushed open another room, he found evening gowns displayed on mannequins. He knew about these; the main residence had them too. They were all high-end luxury dresses his mother had bought—some worn only once for collection, others merely tried on with custom sizing done overseas.
These gowns…
Would they fit her?
Duan Jinchi suddenly snapped out of it. What was he thinking?!
The ring!
He was here for the ring.
Duan Jinchi randomly picked a ring and went back out.
He saw Song Yinxi taking photos of the ring.
Was she going to post it on social media?
They had mutual friends.
How would he explain it then?
“Wife!”
“Wife, wife!”
“Look, I brought the ring.”
Duan Jinchi subtly took Song Yinxi’s phone and handed her the ring. “Put it on for me, wife.”
Song Yinxi quickly slid it onto his finger, entirely devoid of emotion.
Unlike him, who had just knelt on one knee.
Do men not deserve a sense of ceremony?
Song Yinxi reached for her phone again.
Duan Jinchi leaned in, blocking her.
“What’s wrong?” Song Yinxi withdrew her hand. “Honey, you… what do you want?”
Song Yinxi’s gaze dropped to his lips, teasing him, “Say it, say it… and I’ll give it to you…”
“I meant… don’t post it on social media. They don’t know about your amnesia yet. You’re now the CEO of Evergreen Group, and many people are watching you. The fewer who know about the memory loss, the better,” Duan Jinchi said earnestly. “What do you think?”
Duan Jinchi was getting the hang of it, thinking more thoughtfully now.
In that case…
Song Yinxi wrapped her arms around his neck, applying slight pressure. Duan Jinchi’s head lowered until their noses almost touched, breaths mingling.
She could feel Duan Jinchi was extremely tense right now—his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed nervously, his eyes shifting restlessly.
Who would have thought that the formidable CEO Duan, who dominated the business world, was actually the innocent type, so easily flustered.
“Honey, you’re so considerate. I hadn’t even thought of that. We really can’t let others know—it’s too embarrassing, too unlucky. Why did it have to be me who got hit? My Porsche Ice Berry Pink!! It’s still at the 4S shop!!” Song Yinxi complained, sounding genuinely upset and wronged.
She deliberately leaned her head forward until the tip of her nose touched his.
Duan Jinchi’s pupils widened in shock.
His nose tingled, itched—and so did his heart.
So…
Song Yinxi knew how to flirt like this?
Song Yinxi called out softly, “Hubby~ Tonight we can finally sleep together…”
She casually dropped a bombshell, leaving Duan Jinchi’s mind in chaos.
S-s-sleep together?
Song Yinxi had lost her memory.
He hadn’t.
How could they possibly share a bed?
“Hubby, you look so excited!” Song Yinxi smiled. “The doctor said… my body is fine, so… you don’t need to hold back…”
Wh-what did she mean by that?
Was it what he thought she meant?
Ahhhh!!
He was going crazy!
Help, help, help!!
