Lu Xiaoqiao practically dragged Wan Bao’er into the room.
“Sister-in-law, look! Look!” she said in panic. “He actually asked who I am.”
Xie Xun sat half upright with his arms crossed. His handsome face was tense, and his gaze was cold and intimidating.
Wan Bao’er was nervous. She carefully asked, “A-Xun, who am I?”
Under the bright hospital lights, Xie Xun’s face looked almost pale and transparent. His whole body seemed to say, Stay away from me.
“Sister-in-law.”
Lu Xiaoqiao’s expression froze.
That bastard!
He was playing with her!
Wan Bao’er immediately relaxed. “You scared me…”
Xie Xun slightly raised his eyelids.
“Where is my older brother?”
Wan Bao’er stared at him in shock.
“What happened to me?”
“Who is she?”
“She touched me just now. Was she trying to assault me?”
Lu Xiaoqiao: “?”
“You don’t remember?” Wan Bao’er’s expression changed. Panic appeared in her eyes, and she could barely speak properly. “Where is Xiaoyu?”
“My nephew.”
Wan Bao’er asked, “What about Tutu?”
Xie Xun frowned and looked at her.
“Who is that?”
Wan Bao’er looked at Lu Xiaoqiao with an indescribable expression.
Heh.
When all impossible possibilities were eliminated, no matter how unbelievable the remaining answer was, it had to be the truth.
Lu Xiaoqiao calmly pressed the call button and calmly told the doctor:
“There’s something wrong with his brain.”
“He has amnesia,” the doctor said after completing a series of examinations. “But there is no physical damage to his brain. It seems to be temporary, and his memories should slowly return. If you want to speed up the process, you can take him to familiar places and help him remember important events.”
Lu Xiaoqiao had no intention of helping him regain his memory.
If it weren’t for all the traces of their married life that were impossible to completely erase, she would have loved to use this opportunity to go their separate ways and forget about each other peacefully.
Unfortunately, the law did not change according to what people wanted.
But stories could be changed by what people said.
“You’re saying,” Xie Xun said, his eyes filled with suspicion and warning, “that I fell into the river because I was trying to save my sister-in-law?”
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded repeatedly.
“What an admirable… enviable relationship… family bond.”
She pushed a stack of papers toward him, secretly hoping he would sign them.
“Sign it.”
Xie Xun glanced down at the papers, then looked sharply at her.
“Sign it,” Lu Xiaoqiao urged, pointing at the large words at the top. “It’s the hospital admission form. You’re awake now, so you can sign it yourself.”
Xie Xun stared at the papers for two minutes before looking back at her with his dark eyes.
“What did you say this was?”
“Hospital. Admission. Form.”
Lu Xiaoqiao patiently pointed at each word.
“Just sign your name at the bottom. Once you rest for a while, you can go home.”
Xie Xun’s expression turned cold.
“I lost some of my memories. I didn’t become illiterate.”
How had the five words “Divorce Agreement” suddenly become “Hospital Admission Form”?
He had amnesia.
He had not become stupid.
Lu Xiaoqiao regretted her mistake.
“You can read?”
She should have tested him first.
She had been too careless!
Xie Xun said coldly, “Get out.”
“You sign it, and I’ll leave.”
Xie Xun let out a cold laugh.
“With your habit of twisting facts and making things up, I won’t sign anything you give me until I recover my memories.”
“……”
Things were not going according to plan.
Her first impression had already dropped below zero.
Fine.
Her son was waiting for her at home. Why waste any more time with this crazy man who seemed determined to get involved with his sister-in-law?
Lu Xiaoqiao grabbed the documents and stood up without hesitation.
Xie Xun suddenly called out coldly, “Hey.”
Lu Xiaoqiao reluctantly stopped.
“You said,” Xie Xun asked in disbelief, “that you and I are married?”
Lu Xiaoqiao: “Yes.”
Xie Xun: “Why?”
Lu Xiaoqiao: “Definitely not because of love.”
Xie Xun gave her a half-smile. “Because of hatred?”
Lu Xiaoqiao: “Neither love nor hate.”
“That’s impossible.”
“……”
Lu Xiaoqiao was losing patience.
“You think it sounds ridiculous too, right? Then just sign the divorce papers.”
“If I ever get married,” a hint of coldness flashed through Xie Xun’s eyes, “it would either be because I love her or because I hate her.”
“If I hated her, I would keep her by my side and make her suffer. If that were the case, do you really think I would sign the divorce papers before I was satisfied?”
Lu Xiaoqiao: “?”
Crazy. Crazy. Crazy!
Xie Xun asked, “Which one are you?”
Seeing her struggling to remain patient, Xie Xun raised an eyebrow arrogantly.
“Can you answer properly now?”
Lu Xiaoqiao crumpled the divorce papers in her hand.
She wanted nothing more than to tear him apart.
After enduring it for a long while, she sat back down and explained everything as if she were telling an outsider some gossip.
“You, your older brother, and your sister-in-law grew up together. Basically, it was a story where you loved her, your brother loved her, and she loved you.”
“Later, because of various reasons, your sister-in-law married your older brother. To give their marriage and careers some peace of mind, you chose to work with me. We helped each other and both got what we wanted.”
“Now your older brother is gone, and you plan to be with your sister-in-law. So shouldn’t you divorce me first?”
Xie Xun frowned deeply, trying to find the important point in her long explanation.
The real important point.
“We have no feelings for each other,” he said.
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded firmly.
Xie Xun narrowed his eyes.
“No feelings, yet we have a son?”
“……”
Lu Xiaoqiao did not understand why he found this so strange.
Physical attraction and love were two completely different things.
Besides, she was beautiful and attractive.
Was it really so strange that he had wanted to be with her?
“What if I told you,” Lu Xiaoqiao said, “that I accidentally tripped, accidentally fell onto you, and our little bird happened to flap its wings and fly away? Then, ten months later, our son was born. Would you believe me?”
Xie Xun immediately pressed the call button.
Lu Xiaoqiao’s eyes widened.
“What are you doing?”
Xie Xun replied expressionlessly, “Getting you admitted to the hospital.”
If he did not believe her, then fine.
Why was he acting crazy?
Lu Xiaoqiao no longer wanted to stay with him.
She picked up her things and prepared to leave.
The man’s voice suddenly turned cold.
“You said your name is Lu Xiaoqiao?”
She was completely out of patience.
“Do you want to see my ID?”
“I don’t believe it.”
With his noble and untouchable face, Xie Xun spoke without mercy.
“I would never tolerate a wife who has no feelings for me treating me like this.”
“……”
Lu Xiaoqiao suddenly stopped.
What exactly was this man trying to prove?
Why was he suddenly trying to prove that he loved her?
Lu Xiaoqiao was even more confused than he was.
“You love me?”
Xie Xun’s face darkened.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what exactly don’t you believe?”
Xie Xun realized that she was completely misunderstanding him.
“The way you treat me is rude, and it makes me very unhappy.”
“Then don’t be unhappy yet.”
Lu Xiaoqiao waved the divorce papers in her hand and gave him a flattering smile.
“Once you sign these, the person who is rude to you and makes you unhappy will automatically leave. How does that sound?”
She sincerely advised him:
“Your sister-in-law needs you. Your nephew needs you. You even forgot your own son, which shows how important they are to you.”
It was impossible for her not to feel bitter.
Not being loved was one thing.
But her husband had lost his memory and remembered everyone in the world except his own wife and child.
Wasn’t that like slapping her and Tutu in the face in front of everyone?
She could not accept it.
Lu Xiaoqiao became angry as she spoke.
“I want another fifty million in the inheritance… I mean, child support!”
