Chapter 1339: Acknowledging the Harm Done to Her

"No, I handled the whole process myself. I'm pretty impressive, right!"

Liu Xin'ai was full of pride as she said this.

Qin Yiyan also acknowledged how impressive Liu Xin'ai was.

It was just that...

He asked with some unease: "Did you... remember something?"

"I did remember some things, all related to work, but unfortunately, there are only fragmented images in my mind, and they aren't coherent."

Precisely because they were not coherent, Liu Xin'ai did not have a smooth start when she began the experiment.

Fortunately, her body was very familiar with the various steps of the experiment, and she entered the state without spending too much time.

After hearing Liu Xin'ai's words, Qin Yiyan felt a bit unsettled in his heart.

And he grew increasingly anxious.

He did not want his emotions to show, so he took a deep breath to steady himself.

Once he had calmed down a little, Qin Yiyan looked up at Liu Xin'ai and smiled: "It seems you will recover very soon."

Although Qin Yiyan was smiling, his palms were a little cold.

Liu Xin'ai did not show a happy expression either; instead, she asked: "Do you want me to remember the past?"

"That is not something I can control."

"That's why I'm asking—do you want to or not?"

Liu Xin'ai stared intently at Qin Yiyan; she was waiting for an answer.

And Qin Yiyan's answer was naturally... no.

But he did not speak his true thoughts, only smiling faintly: "Of course I hope you can recover your memory; that way, you will be freer."

This answer made Liu Xin'ai's shoulders slump, and her eyes lost some of their brightness.

Then, she said gloomily: "After recovering my memory, I won't be the me I am now."

"Silly, you won't lose your current memories. Whether it's the past or the present, you are still Liu Xin'ai."

Even so, Liu Xin'ai always felt...

She would become different.

This made her feel a sour sensation in her heart.

Liu Xin'ai tried hard to brush away that bitterness, then feigned ease and asked the man beside her a question: "What were you like in the past?"

Qin Yiyan's palms could not help but clench.

His voice was also somewhat stiff: "Why... would you ask this question?"

"I'm curious. I want to understand you better."

Liu Xin'ai had once tried to ask her friends by beating around the bush, but no matter who it was, no one answered Liu Xin'ai.

But she could see everyone's hesitation to speak.

It seemed this question could only be answered by Qin Yiyan himself.

As for Qin Yiyan's answer...

He concluded in a strained voice: "In the past, I was a bastard!"

Liu Xin'ai immediately widened her eyes: "Who talks about themselves like that!"

If he could, Qin Yiyan would also like to use flowery language to describe himself.

But he... didn't deserve to!

Qin Yiyan took a deep breath, then suppressed the pain in his heart and said: "You will remember the past sooner or later, and when that time comes, you will know that what I said is true."

Liu Xin'ai did not want to wait for that day.

She couldn't wait to say right now: "The you I know is gentle and kind, and you are especially good to me. A you like this couldn't be a bad person!"

Liu Xin'ai's praise came from the bottom of her heart.

But Qin Yiyan felt very guilty.

He avoided Liu Xin'ai's gaze and said: "No matter what the future holds, I... hope you can remember the current me."

As his voice fell, Qin Yiyan suddenly felt his cheek grow hot.

It turned out that Liu Xin'ai had suddenly leaned over and kissed Qin Yiyan on the cheek!

Seeing Qin Yiyan in low spirits.

Liu Xin'ai wanted to encourage him and give him courage and support.

Then, in a moment of impulse, she... did something rash.

After kissing him, Liu Xin'ai was also very annoyed with herself.

But since it was already done... Liu Xin'ai could only pretend to be carefree.

To avoid being too embarrassed, Liu Xin'ai smiled: "I'll definitely remember, you're my husband after all."

Liu Xin'ai's words did not ease the atmosphere.

Instead, she discovered...

Qin Yiyan was staring at her intently, and the expression on his face was still very serious!

Oh no, he must be angry!

Liu Xin'ai felt very annoyed, thinking she had messed things up!

But in reality, Qin Yiyan was not angry.

He was just trying very hard to... control the desire within his body!

But those desires were gnawing at his reason bit by bit.

Finally...

He was like a big bad wolf luring Little Red Riding Hood, saying in a haunting tone, "You kissed me, so can I kiss you back?"

Hmm...

In theory, it seems like it would work.

But why does it feel so strange?

Liu Xin'ai raised her eyes and felt someone leaning in.

Then...

A heat on her lips!

The two of them had had intimate contact before.

But every time, the process was very unpleasant.

And both sides would hurt each other.

Qin Yiyan had also never touched any woman other than Liu Xin'ai.

Before this moment, he had never known... that kissing could be so sweet!

It was truly indescribably wonderful!

However...

"What are you two doing!"

The two people who were just inseparable immediately separated upon hearing this angry shout.

Qin Yiyan's expression was awkward, and he was also a bit annoyed.

As for Liu Xin'ai, her lips were bright red, and her eyes looked as if they had been soaked in water.

Her heart was beating fast, and her eyes looked toward the source of the sound involuntarily.

It turned out that the one who had shouted was Liu Qingze.

And standing behind Liu Qingze was Jiang Chenghao with a stiff expression.

Thinking that the intimacy just now had been seen by two people, Liu Xin'ai felt extremely awkward!

She was also a bit vexed and accused them, "You... why do you all walk without making any sound?"

"Isn't it that you two were too lost in yourselves!"

Qin Yiyan was very unhappy with Liu Qingze's questioning attitude, so he asked, "Do you have business?"

"Indeed, there is some business."

This time, it was Jiang Chenghao who spoke.

He tried hard to forget the scene from just a moment ago, then took out a thick medical book and handed it to Liu Xin'ai.

As soon as Liu Xin'ai saw the cover, she revealed a look of surprise.

Isn't this exactly the book she had been longing for over the past two days!

Liu Xin'ai's fingers brushed over the cover, then she looked up and asked Jiang Chenghao with a smile, "How did you find this book?"

Before Jiang Chenghao could speak, Liu Qingze said first, "You mentioned wanting to find a medical book last time; I couldn't find it, so I asked Jiang Chenghao for help. But why do I feel like you have no heart for reading now?"

As Liu Qingze spoke, he also cast a cold glance at Qin Yiyan.

Qin Yiyan did not want to endure it any longer, so he retorted to his face, "Don't use that tone to speak to your sister!"

"How I get along with my sister is not for you to teach! It's you who shouldn't lead my sister astray!"

Qin Yiyan found these words laughable, so he reminded him, "Have you forgotten, we are husband and wife!"

"But when my sister regains her memory, do you think you can still be husband and wife!"

Jiang Chenghao felt that Liu Qingze was about to lose control of his temper, so he hurriedly interrupted his words, "Alright, don't say angry things."

As he said this, Jiang Chenghao said to Liu Xin'ai, "Take the book back and read it slowly; if you need other books, I will help you find them."
