I chuckled coldly to myself. In the real world, I had been carefree with Gao Yu for a year, but in the mission world, five years had passed, and Lu Jingxing and Wen Xuan had surprisingly become partners. We couldn't even contact the system anymore. Both Gao Yu and I were under their control.
"I don't know anyone named Yun Xiaoxiao," I interrupted him. "If you don't let me go, I'll call the police!"
Lu Jingxing sighed helplessly.
"Lin Xia," he said seriously, "I know you're very angry right now, but you can't leave here."
"Why?!" I glared at him.
"Because... because I love you," Lu Jingxing looked at me with deep affection. "I can't lose you."
A wave of nausea washed over me.
"Love me?!" I scoffed. "Is this how you love me, kidnapper?!"
I pushed him away and turned to run, but the door of the villa was locked tight; I couldn't get out.
Lu Jingxing didn't chase after me. He just stood there, quietly watching me, his eyes filled with complex emotions. I knew he wouldn't let me go easily.
In the days that followed, I began my "amnesia" plan. I intentionally caused chaos in the villa, turning Lu Jingxing's life upside down. He was a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness issues. Every day, I would mess up his things, cut his clothes into shreds, and throw away his food.
At first, Lu Jingxing would get angry, but eventually, he became numb to it. Every day he would ask me what it would take for me to stay. I pretended to think deeply and then made all sorts of unreasonable demands.
In the end, I had him support me in starting a company. I deliberately established a business that was destined to lose money. Every day, I squandered his money in the office. When a beautiful lady sneezed at work, I gave her 100,000 to see a doctor, telling her to come back once she was well. When I noticed a young man with a receding hairline, I figured he must be exhausted from work and gave him 100,000 to treat his baldness. Everyone seemed to yawn in the afternoon, so I decided to extend the lunch break to four hours. When I found the road to work was a bit bumpy, I donated all the company’s earnings to the government for road repairs. If the company was losing money and on the verge of bankruptcy, then I would just start another one. Feeling good about the company’s opening today, I handed out 100,000 bonuses to each new employee…
I kept losing money, repeatedly going bankrupt and starting new companies, while Lu Jingxing became increasingly stressed and visibly worn out. I wanted him to become the laughingstock of everyone. I wanted him to regret bringing me back. I wanted him to pay the price.
Looking at Lu Jingxing’s increasingly haggard face, I felt not a shred of pity. When he first started his business, he poured his heart into it but faced setbacks time and again. I watched with concern; not only did I quit my job to fully support him, but I also endured his negative emotions stemming from stress. Knowing he struggled to express his feelings, I unconditionally tolerated him and guided him through tough times. I even sold off the original owner’s jewelry to fill financial gaps for Su Chen and worked late into the night with him revising plans. When our progress reached 90%, we obtained our marriage certificate together.
I clearly remember that the beginning of our relationship's breakdown was not due to Yun Xiaoxiao's appearance. It was a year before she showed up. One ordinary night, Lu Jingxing came home drunk and forcefully kissed me, biting my neck in the process; that bite left a scar that lingered until my death from stomach cancer.
I was both angry and upset and pushed him away with all my strength. "Are you crazy?" I questioned him. He opened his eyes groggily, his gaze filled with an unfamiliar aggression. At that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment and anger. How could he, who once cherished me like a treasure, change so drastically?
I rejected him and pushed him out of the room. The next day, when he woke up, he had no memory of what had happened the night before. He apologized to me, claiming it was just drunken behavior. I accepted his apology, but the rift in my heart had already formed.
Later on, when I was hurt again, Lu Jingxing regretted it but still made the same mistakes. His indifference caused my love for him to gradually fade away.
I began to mock him repeatedly, using sharp and biting words to taunt him. At first, he could endure it, but eventually, he erupted. We had a fierce argument and parted ways unhappily. I gave up on the relationship and chose to leave him.
The system asked me if I wanted to exit the task world. I refused. For Gao Yu, I chose to stay. However, my attitude towards Lu Jingxing grew colder. My indifference only deepened his pain and confusion. He started staying out all night, frequenting various entertainment venues. I knew he was escaping reality, escaping me.
Eventually, Lu Jingxing discovered the system and learned that my approach to him was for the sake of the task. He found an excuse for his previous behavior, believing that everything about me was false. His misunderstanding left me feeling heartbroken.
Then Yun Xiaoxiao appeared. She was like a ray of light, illuminating Lu Jingxing's dark world. In the end, he chose to give up on me and embrace a new life. I stopped my pursuit and abandoned any thoughts of "saving" Lu Jingxing.
