Chapter 491: The Name I Dare Not Speak Out Loud

Jiang Chenghao silently repeated Liu Xin'ai's name in his heart several times, but he did not ask anything more.

He pondered for a few seconds, quickly organizing all the information in his mind.

He still remembered the memory of suddenly going mad at the funeral clearly.

Jiang Chenghao paused for two seconds, then suddenly said to Jiang Baobao, "Baobao, I have been troubling you all this time, and your grandmother's funeral, you also..."

"Little Uncle, why are you being so polite with me? Aren't these things I should do? Also..."

Jiang Baobao subconsciously almost blurted out the words "Xinaijie," but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly paused for a moment.

Since Little Uncle did not bring it up himself...

Should she wait for him to recover a bit more before talking to him about Xinaijie?

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she heard Jiang Chenghao suddenly ask again, "Where is this? Is it your home?"

"This is..."

Jiang Baobao stumbled again before answering, "This is Li Mansion."

"Li Mansion?"

Jiang Chenghao's expression was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly told him everything that happened after she returned, including meeting him and Old Madam Jiang on the street.

Jiang Chenghao frowned deeply, and upon hearing that Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue were at odds at first, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"You two..."

"Little Uncle, don't worry about my affairs for now. The most important thing now is to get your health back. If you want to know the details of some things, I will tell you slowly later. In any case, I am doing very well now, you don't need to have any worries."

Jiang Baobao smiled at him soothingly.

Jiang Chenghao nodded gently and did not continue to ask more.

"Then you rest for a while longer, I will go prepare some food for you and come back to see you later."

Seeing his exhausted expression, Jiang Baobao took the initiative to stand up, wanting to leave him a quiet space.

She left the room and carefully closed the door, but there was some doubt in her eyes.

Little Uncle... why didn't he ask about Xinaijie at all?

Is it that he hasn't remembered everything yet...

Or... has he forgotten it all?

That shouldn't be, right...

When he was dreaming, he was constantly calling out Xinaijie's name...

Jiang Baobao shook her head and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Inside the room—

Jiang Chenghao watched the door close, and only then did his long-tensed body relax; he reached out to rub his forehead, which felt like it was about to explode from the pain.

His mind was truly too chaotic.

There were too many things piled up together, making him unable to distinguish whether these things were real or just dreams from his muddled years.

It's just that...

There was one person he remembered clearly.

He remembered calling her "Pretty Sister."

He also remembered her eyes, filled with guilt and sadness, every time she looked at him.

He also remembered her once holding his hand and saying she was getting engaged.

In his memory...

He seemed to remember a certain important date and rushing to see her on that day.

Jiang Chenghao's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly revealed a bitter smile.

Are these things real, or is he dreaming?

He didn't even dare to ask Baobao just now...

Afraid of getting an answer he didn't want to admit.

Has she really... already gotten engaged?

On the other side—

Jiang Baobao had been holding her phone, hesitating for a long time.

Should she tell Xinaijie about Little Uncle recovering his memory?

She had always been very worried about Little Uncle's condition...

Jiang Baobao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she dialed the number.

"Beep—"

A short busy tone rang out, and the call was immediately answered.

It was as if Liu Xin'ai had been guarding the phone; as soon as it connected, she immediately asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Baobao hurriedly replied, "Xinaijie, Little Uncle has woken up, you don't need to worry."

"Really? That's great..."

Hearing this, Liu Xin'ai immediately let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Then, before she could even speak, she heard Jiang Baobao continue, "There is one more piece of good news to tell you, he..."

Jiang Baobao paused for a moment before continuing, "His memory has recovered, and he has now completely returned to normal."

"What did you say?"

Liu Xin'ai's face was full of disbelief, doubting if she had misheard something.

"I said, the little uncle has already returned to normal..."

Jiang Baobao repeated it again, though her tone was inexplicably heavy.

Liu Xin'ai blinked, wanting to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she was suddenly unable to make any sound.

Only her eye sockets suddenly stung, reminding her of how emotional she was at this moment.

"Ho... how..."

It took her a long time to find her voice, and her tone was trembling as she spoke.

Jiang Baobao knew what she wanted to ask, so she hurriedly told her what had happened on the day of the funeral.

Liu Xin'ai fell silent after listening, feeling only waves of pain in her chest.

So that was how he recovered...

He must have suffered a great shock...

Liu Xin'ai took a deep breath, forcibly adjusted her emotions, and then suddenly thought of something, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Baobao. I intended to go to Mother Jiang's funeral that day, but... my father has been hospitalized recently, and his condition has been fluctuating, so I really couldn't get away that day..."

"It's okay."

Jiang Baobao hurriedly interrupted her: "I know you have your own things to attend to, and Grandma wouldn't blame you. The little uncle was able to recover his memory so quickly mostly because of your medicine; she must be grateful to you in heaven."

Jiang Baobao spoke sincerely, without a hint of falsehood.

Yet Liu Xin'ai still felt somewhat guilty in her heart.

"Xinaijie..."

Jiang Baobao suddenly spoke up and called out to Liu Xin'ai.

"Hmm? Go ahead."

Liu Xin'ai instantly returned to her senses.

Jiang Baobao's words, however, got stuck on the tip of her tongue.

She didn't know whether she should overstep and speak about the matters between Jiang Chenghao and her.

After a long silence, she ultimately swallowed the words back.

"It's nothing. I still have to go stew soup for the little uncle, so I won't chat with you for now. If there are any developments in his condition, I will contact you immediately."

Jiang Baobao did not say anything more.

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly agreed: "Alright, then you go ahead and get busy."

The two of them hung up the phone.

Liu Xin'ai set her phone aside, and the expression on her face couldn't help but show a hint of happiness.

Yet it was only for a fleeting moment before it was masked by bitterness.

Cheng Hao has recovered...

He actually recovered so quickly!

If she had known earlier...

Liu Xin'ai paused slightly, her train of thought suddenly stalling for an instant.

If she had known earlier, then what?

If she had known earlier... would she not have become engaged to Qin Yiyan?

That's impossible...

No matter what, she would never sacrifice her father's health to trade for her own happiness.

Who told her to be a daughter of the Liu Family?

Liu Xin'ai gave a bitter smile in her heart, and her peripheral vision suddenly caught the door being pushed open.

She instinctively looked up, and sure enough, she saw Qin Yiyan standing outside the door with a half-smile on his face.
