On her first day back at work after losing her memory, Qiao Nuo felt that everything was going quite well. Her colleagues were friendly, and her supervisor didn’t assign her too many tasks.
Of course, if she hadn’t overheard her colleagues whispering in the restroom, everything would have been perfect.
“You’re new here, so you wouldn’t know that Jin's Architecture used to be Qiao's Architecture. Qiao Nuo, she was the young lady of the Qiao Family. Later on… it seems she sold herself to the Jin Family Young Master to save the Qiao Family. Even though the name has changed, look at it now—Qiao Nuo is our Young Madam. Who knows, maybe one day Jin's Architecture will revert back to Qiao's Architecture!”
“Really? I didn’t know that! I can’t believe Qiao Nuo would sell herself for her family’s sake,” a girl exclaimed in surprise.
“What’s so surprising about that? To be able to sell herself to the Jin Family Young Master is something many women dream of!”
“That’s true! Jin Shao is charming and dignified; it’s quite a catch for Qiao Nuo…”
“Alright, let’s keep this between us in the restroom. You don’t know that yesterday Jin Shao even sent someone to notify all the department heads to keep this matter quiet regarding Qiao Nuo. I’m only telling you because we’re friends…”
The voices outside grew quieter, and Qiao Nuo couldn’t hear clearly anymore. She stood in the stall, feeling somewhat dazed.
Jin's Architecture used to be Qiao's Architecture?
What kind of existence was Qiao's Architecture?
She couldn’t remember anything at all; not a single thing. Jin Chengyan hadn’t told her any of this.
If Jin's Architecture was formerly Qiao's Architecture, and she was the young lady of the Qiao Family, did that mean she sold herself to Jin Chengyan? Why was it like this?
Weren’t she and Jin Chengyan married out of mutual affection?
Qiao Nuo felt disoriented and unsteady. She sat on the toilet, propping her head with her hands, only feeling a throbbing pain in her head.
But she couldn’t remember anything!
She took out her phone. There weren't many numbers in her contacts, but as she scrolled through them one by one, none sparked any memories. She wanted to call Jin Chengyan to ask him what was going on.
However, when she found his number, Qiao Nuo hesitated.
If Jin Chengyan wanted to tell her something, he would have done so long ago. Perhaps he didn’t want to share it with her, or maybe he thought it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t need to be mentioned.
Suddenly, she spotted Qiao Chen's phone number. He was her younger brother; maybe he knew something.
Qiao Nuo dialed Qiao Chen’s number. After a long wait, he finally answered, lowering his voice.
“Sis, is that you? Have you remembered me? Sis?” Qiao Chen’s suppressed excitement came through the phone. He was still in class and had to keep his head down behind a thick textbook to speak quietly with Qiao Nuo.
“Qiao Chen… I’m sorry, I still haven’t remembered you, but… I have some questions I want to ask you.” Qiao Nuo closed her eyes, but her mind was blank; she couldn’t recall anything at all.
Qiao Chen felt a bit disappointed but quickly recovered. Since his sister wanted to know something, it must be a sign that she was trying to regain her memories.
“Qiao Chen, are you on the phone during class? Do you want to get in trouble?” The teacher's voice suddenly rang out, startling Qiao Nuo as well.
“Qiao Chen, you’re still in class? Then I won’t disturb you…” After saying this, Qiao Nuo hung up.
Qiao Chen was left dumbfounded. His sister had finally called him, only to hang up abruptly!
He couldn't let it go like that. He quickly grabbed his jacket hanging on the chair and ignored the teacher's shouting behind him as he rushed out of the classroom.
“That Qiao Chen is getting more and more outrageous! If he doesn’t want to study, then fine! Just leave!” The teacher was furious. Can intelligence replace hard work? Without effort, he wouldn’t get into college!
“Teacher, Qiao Chen really has something going on; it seems like his sister is in trouble. When he comes back, he’ll explain,” said a girl sitting next to Qiao Chen with a clear voice.
Seeing the class monitor talking to Qiao Chen, the teacher rolled his eyes and continued with the lesson.
Qiao Chen ran out of the classroom and climbed over the wall.
This high school was not as secure as the one Qiao Chen had attended before; there were no barbed wires on the top of the wall, no surveillance cameras around, and at less than two meters high, Qiao Chen easily scaled it.
He immediately called Qiao Nuo.
"Sis, where are you right now? I'm coming to find you!" Qiao Chen said briskly, already hailing a taxi.
Qiao Nuo sounded a bit confused and told him she was at Jin's Architecture.
Half an hour later, Qiao Chen arrived in a flurry.
"Sis, have you remembered something? Or is there something you want to know? Just ask, and I'll tell you everything!" Qiao Chen hadn't slept well these past few days, hoping that Qiao Nuo could remember him; otherwise, he would be the only one left in this world without any memories.
He disliked the feeling of loneliness.
Faced with Qiao Chen's excitement, Qiao Nuo felt a mix of emotions—she was touched but also guilty because she truly couldn't recall anything.
In the empty stairwell, all she could see was Qiao Chen in his school uniform. He looked somewhat familiar, yet she couldn't place him.
"I want to ask you something. Was Jin's Architecture formerly known as Qiao's Architecture? If it was Qiao's Architecture, why did it change its name? And why am I... married to Jin Chengyan?" Qiao Nuo didn't really want to ask that last question.
She had never doubted her relationship with Jin Chengyan; she believed they must have married for love. However, this felt different from what she had heard.
But when Qiao Chen heard her questions, he hesitated.
The bankruptcy of the Qiao Family marked the beginning of their misfortunes. It involved Qiao Nuo being betrayed by her best friend and fiancé, her father's death, and the indifference of relatives...
These were things Qiao Chen did not want Qiao Nuo to know.
He hesitated for a moment. Previously, he had hoped that Qiao Nuo would remember him quickly, so he wouldn’t feel lonely.
But now, he didn’t want Qiao Nuo to remember; he didn’t want her to recall those unpleasant memories of the past.
As for her marriage to Jin Chengyan, Qiao Chen had always been curious about why his sister married him so suddenly. He had always thought that she would end up with Huo Yawen.
Huo Yawen was so refined, so warm, and treated his sister so well. Yet in the end…
“Sister, the matters at the company might just be decisions made by the board. Even if it’s changed to Jin's Architecture, it doesn’t change the fact that it was originally Qiao's Architecture.” Although Qiao Chen was still a high school student and hadn’t paid much attention to the family business before, after their family went bankrupt, he began to notice these issues. It was too complicated, and he didn’t want Qiao Nuo to know.
Qiao Nuo nodded. A company of that size wouldn’t change its name easily; there were surely many factors involved.
“Do we have any other relatives? Why is it only you, my brother, who has appeared now? What about our parents?”
It seemed that Qiao Nuo’s curiosity wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Qiao Chen paused for a moment.
Seeing his expression, Qiao Nuo realized it wasn’t good news. She braced herself mentally.
However, when she heard Qiao Chen say their parents had passed away, she still felt a pang of sadness. It turned out that in this world, the only blood relative she had left was Qiao Chen.
No wonder Qiao Chen had been so emotional when he went to the hospital that day.
“Qiao Chen, will you blame me for not remembering you?” Qiao Nuo felt this was her greatest regret.
“Of course not!” Qiao Chen replied immediately. “It’s not like you chose this. I actually hope you don’t remember the times I acted foolishly in the past. In your heart, I’d like to be seen as a well-behaved, intelligent, and ambitious little brother! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Hearing Qiao Chen say this made Qiao Nuo smile.
"Since you've already left school, let's go have lunch together. You seem to have lost a bit of weight," Qiao Nuo said, gently ruffling Qiao Chen's hair.
At that moment, Qiao Chen truly felt that his sister had lost her memory.
In the past, if Qiao Chen had run out of school, she would have immediately grabbed his ear and taken him back!
Now, she was just patting his head and saying she would treat him to a meal!
Qiao Chen couldn't help but think that his sister was even cuter after losing her memory.
"Sis, you're so nice! I haven't had takeout in ages. You have no idea how terrible the food is at our school for lunch and dinner—it's so bad that even pigs wouldn't eat it!"
"If pigs wouldn't eat it, why are you eating it?" Qiao Nuo teased.
Qiao Chen realized he had dug his own grave with that remark; he was even worse than a pig!
The two siblings chatted and laughed as they made their way to a restaurant. Since Qiao Nuo wanted to regain her memories, she thought it would be good to interact more with people she knew!
"Sis, do you want to eat Japanese cuisine?" Qiao Chen asked as they stood at the entrance of the restaurant, where Qiao Nuo had intended to take him inside.
"Don't you like it?"
"But you don't like it!" Qiao Chen was well aware of his sister's tastes.
For a moment, Qiao Nuo was taken aback. After all, last night, Jin Chengyan had arranged for Japanese cuisine for dinner, and she thought it wasn't bad.
"Did I used to dislike Japanese cuisine?" Qiao Nuo asked.
"Yeah." Qiao Chen quickly linked arms with his sister and led her away. "You didn't like raw food; you found it disgusting. You preferred stronger flavors. But today, let's go have French cuisine! French cuisine takes longer to prepare, so we can spend more time together."
Qiao Nuo followed Qiao Chen, but she didn’t hear him speak; her mind was consumed with the thought that she didn’t like eating raw food.
If Qiao Chen knew, why didn’t Jin Chengyan?
Why hadn’t Jin Chengyan said a word while watching her eat so much sashimi last night?
Did Jin Chengyan not know?
Didn’t two people in love understand each other’s tastes?
“Sister, what are you thinking about?” Qiao Chen asked when he noticed Qiao Nuo was distracted.
Snapping back to reality, Qiao Nuo forced a smile. “Nothing much. Let’s go eat French cuisine!”
The two walked toward the restaurant, just as two men were coming out. Qiao Chen found one of them familiar, while Qiao Nuo continued to think about Japanese food.
If it weren’t for the fact that one of them called her name.
“Qiao Nuo!”
Hearing someone call her, and it wasn’t Qiao Chen, she stopped and turned toward the voice. She saw two tall and handsome men.
However, one of the men looked at her with a particularly complex expression that made Qiao Nuo feel as if she owed him something.
This was the first time Yan Beiting had seen Qiao Nuo since her incident.
It was partly because Jin Chengyan had been keeping such a close watch on Qiao Nuo that he hadn’t been able to see her in the hospital! Even when he tried to talk to Qi Ziluo about it, Qi Ziluo only advised him not to interfere during such a sensitive time.
Yan Beiting had been feeling down lately, wavering between giving up on Qiao Nuo and continuing to fight for her. Today, he was dragged out by Yan An City for a meal.
What a coincidence, she ran into Qiao Nuo!
Qiao Nuo looked at Yan Beiting, realizing that she couldn't even remember Qiao Chen, let alone Yan Beiting.
Feeling a bit flustered, she turned to Qiao Chen, hoping for help.
However, Qiao Chen was busy with school during that time and had no idea about the situation between Qiao Nuo and Yan Beiting, so he couldn't assist her.
"Do we... know each other?" Qiao Nuo asked cautiously. "I'm really sorry, but I can't recall you because I've had an accident."
Yan Beiting stared at Qiao Nuo in surprise, confirming that there was not a trace of recognition in her eyes.
Was Qi Ziluo hiding this from him?!
If it weren't for this encounter today, Yan Beiting would never have known that Qiao Nuo had lost her memory!
"Brother San, since she doesn't remember you, let's hurry and leave! There's no need to linger!" Yan An City immediately stepped in front of Qiao Nuo and Yan Beiting. Had he known they would run into Qiao Nuo, he wouldn't have brought the despondent Yan Beiting out!
This was practically asking for trouble!
But how could Yan Beiting agree? The Jin Family had kept the incident of Qiao Nuo's kidnapping under wraps; even Xiao Yuanshan hadn't revealed a word about it to him. If he didn't figure out how Qiao Nuo ended up like this, he wouldn't be able to sleep!
"Get away!" Yan Beiting pushed aside Yan An City and stepped in front of Qiao Nuo.
Qiao Nuo was startled by Yan Beiting's fierce expression and instinctively took a step back.
Seeing this, Qiao Chen felt that Yan Beiting might pose a threat to his sister and immediately positioned himself in front of Qiao Nuo.
"Who are you?!" Qiao Chen declared defiantly. No matter how powerful the opponent was, he would stand resolutely in front of his sister—this was true against Jin Chengyan and it was the same against Yan Beiting.
Yan Beiting, however, was not concerned about Qiao Chen; his gaze was fixed on Qiao Nuo, gradually softening. He realized he had frightened her earlier and felt a pang of guilt.
But Qiao Nuo should not be afraid of him. He had never done anything to harm her; he only wished to protect her.
“Qiao Nuo, I am Yan Beiting,” he said in a low voice, filled with a sense of helplessness that only he understood.
If he had recognized Qiao Nuo sooner upon returning to the country, if he had told her she was the little girl he had missed for six years, perhaps none of this would have happened.
He didn’t know.
“Yan Beiting?” Qiao Nuo repeated the name, with no recollection at all. “I’m sorry…”
She had apologized too many times in recent days, feeling useless for not remembering someone. Why did a car accident and a head injury cause her to forget so many people?
Indeed, Jin Chengyan had told Qiao Nuo that she had been in an accident and hit her head.
Yan Beiting’s voice caught in his throat. He and Qiao Nuo were already fated to be apart, and now she had lost even the last remnants of her memory.
Seeing Yan Beiting like this, Qiao Chen couldn’t decipher his feelings and could only say to Qiao Nuo, “Sister, let’s go inside and eat!”
Qiao Nuo looked apologetically at Yan Beiting before following Qiao Chen inside.
Yan Beiting watched her retreating figure, unsure whether to follow or leave.
In the end, Yan An City stepped in front of him and said earnestly, “Brother San, don’t forget that even before Qiao Nuo lost her memory, she was Yan Ge’s wife. Now that she has lost her memory, she won’t remember you at all. Why cling to this? There are plenty of good girls in this world; I can find one for you! Let’s not compete with others!”
Yan Beiting withdrew his gaze and looked at Yan An City. He wanted to say something but felt that Yan An City might not understand him anyway, so he remained silent.
There would never be another Qiao Nuo in this world.
Only Qiao Nuo can make his dormant heart start beating again; only her smile can heal him!
Only Qiao Nuo!
No one else is allowed.
"Give me the car keys," Yan Beiting demanded, extending his hand.
They had come out in Yan An City's car.
Yan An City was unsure of what Yan Beiting intended to do and refused to hand over the keys. Unexpectedly, Yan Beiting simply reached into Yan An City's pocket and took the car keys, hurrying away.
Yan An City cursed under his breath. What kind of punishment was this? Couldn't he just quietly be a handsome man? Why did he have to be caught between Jin Chengyan and Yan An City?
Yan Beiting drove straight to the police station and barged into Xiao Yuanshan's office.
As soon as Xiao Yuanshan saw Yan Beiting, his brows furrowed deeply.
A couple of days ago, he had taken Zhang Long out and returned with serious injuries. Fortunately, Zhang Long wasn't a significant figure; a few injuries weren't a big deal, and he had managed to get through it.
He had also had an unpleasant encounter with A Shan and nearly fought with Jin Chengyan.
He had long told his father not to get involved with the Jin Family's affairs, but he didn't know where his father's loyalty came from; he insisted on being so good to the Jin Family!
In any case, he couldn't stand the Jin Family, especially Jin Chengyan.
This might also be partly due to his friendship with Yan Beiting.
"Qiao Nuo was injured the day she was rescued. What happened? Why didn't you tell me anything? Also, I heard that you took the kidnapper out to see Jin Chengyan a couple of days ago. What's going on?"
"You seem to be quite well-informed," Xiao Yuanshan chuckled.
"Tell me what’s going on!"
Since Yan Beiting had come knocking, it seemed Xiao Yuanshan could no longer keep things under wraps.
"Here’s the situation: there are two testimonies. One favors Qiao Nuo, and the other favors Ruan Shengyu."
"They were both kidnapped, so why are there two testimonies that support each of them?" This was where Yan Beiting was confused.
"Let’s put it this way: the kidnappers split into two groups. One claims that Ruan Shengyu orchestrated the kidnapping to take Qiao Nuo's life, while the other insists that Qiao Nuo planned the kidnapping to ruin Ruan Shengyu. However, Ruan Shengyu has a medical certificate stating she is mentally unstable and unfit to give a statement, and as for Qiao Nuo, well, you know she has amnesia." Xiao Yuanshan highlighted the key points.
Yan Beiting looked skeptical. How did things end up like this?
"They also said that Qiao Nuo might be pretending to have amnesia to evade legal consequences."
"Nonsense!" Yan Beiting immediately cursed.
"I'm not the one talking nonsense. I want to know the truth just as much as you do. Why are you yelling at me?" This case was so intriguing that Xiao Yuanshan felt it was one of the most exciting he had encountered in his years as a police officer!
Yan Beiting simply could not believe that Qiao Nuo could be the mastermind behind the kidnapping.
"But what I really want to know now is who hit Qiao Nuo on the head. None of the kidnappers are admitting to it! Do you think it's possible that Qiao Nuo hit herself and then tried to escape..."
"Xiao Yuanshan, enough!" Yan Beiting interrupted him sharply, clearly exasperated. "Would you really be foolish enough to hit your own head?"
"True enough. I heard that Qiao Nuo was almost beyond saving," Xiao Yuanshan shrugged. Since it wasn’t his problem, he felt like he was just watching a show.
However, Yan Beiting was not so calm. He frowned as he sat in the chair opposite Xiao Yuanshan, pondering for a long time before saying, "Do you think it could have been Ruan Shengyu who hit Qiao Nuo?"
"This..." Xiao Yuanshan had truly not considered this possibility. "Why would a big star like her have any reason to go against Qiao Nuo? Besides, she's Jin Chengyan's wife. If she hits Qiao Nuo, isn't she afraid of Jin Chengyan...?"
At this point, Xiao Yuanshan couldn't help but pause.
He exchanged glances with Yan Beiting.
"Just because Qiao Nuo is Jin Chengyan's wife!"
...
Qiao Nuo dropped Qiao Chen off at school and then headed to the company. In the afternoon, the Jin family sent a driver to pick her up after getting Chu Yuxiu.
Chu Yuxiu poked his head out of the car window and called out to Qiao Nuo, "Aunt-in-law, over here!"
Qiao Nuo turned around, seeing no one behind her. Was this little guy calling for her?
She had heard Jin Chengyan mention that he had a mischievous and adorable little nephew. Could this little handsome boy be him?
The driver who got out of the driver's seat politely bowed to Qiao Nuo. "Young Madam."
As soon as Qiao Nuo got into the car, Chu Yuxiu began to look her up and down.
"Aunt-in-law, you haven't lost any weight! That's good, otherwise Uncle would be heartbroken!" Chu Yuxiu nodded, confirming that Qiao Nuo really hadn't lost any weight.
Qiao Nuo looked at Chu Yuxiu with a somewhat dazed expression.
Seeing her reaction, Chu Yuxiu suddenly realized, "Oh, Aunt-in-law doesn’t remember me! I'm Jin Chengyan's nephew, my name is Chu Yuxiu. My mom is Jin Mengli, and my dad is Chu Tiankuo. You're Jin Chengyan's wife, which makes you my Aunt-in-law!"
Chu Yuxiu introduced himself. In fact, Qiao Nuo already knew all this because Jin Chengyan had told her about it. It was just that these past few days, Jin Chengyan had been cherishing her so much that he hadn’t let anyone visit her, which was why she couldn’t place his face!
“Hello, Chu Yuxiu!” Qiao Nuo greeted with a smile. This little one was quite quirky and very likable.
“Aunt-in-law, you seem even livelier than before! I like the current Aunt-in-law even more! I just wonder if you’re still as timid as you used to be! But I always feel that being timid doesn’t change just because of amnesia!”
Qiao Nuo thought to herself, “You know too much, why don’t you go talk to the heavens instead!”
“Let’s go, onward to the Jin Family! There’s delicious food today!”
Today was the family banquet at the Jin Family, which was why a driver had come to pick her up. It seemed that after the kidnapping incident involving Qiao Nuo, the Jin Family had acknowledged her identity and wanted to invite them back more often, especially since Jin Chengyan had previously been reluctant to return home.
This was the first time; there would be a second and a third.
However, when they arrived at the Jin Family, they didn’t wait for Jin Chengyan to come back before starting the meal. Qiao Nuo wanted to ask why everyone was gathered but Jin Chengyan was absent.
Unexpectedly, Jin Zhongshu mentioned that Jin Chengyan had an important collaboration to discuss today and wouldn’t make it back in time, so everyone should start eating first.
Without Jin Chengyan present and surrounded by so many members of the Jin Family, Qiao Nuo felt a bit nervous since she didn’t know most of them. She only recognized Jin Zhongshu, Yu Xin, Jin Mengli, and Chu Yuxiu from previous encounters; everyone else was unfamiliar.
She hadn’t even met Chu Yuxiu’s father before, so it was natural for her to feel anxious.
After dinner, during tea time, the men went to a side hall while the women remained in the living room. They had various teas and snacks that each guest enjoyed while discussing topics that Qiao Nuo wasn’t familiar with.
She felt somewhat bored but wasn’t sure if she could leave early. She wanted to text Jin Chengyan but thought better of it; he was in a meeting and sending a message would surely interrupt him.
“Qiao Nuo, are you and A Yan planning to have children? Women should have kids sooner; otherwise, it becomes difficult to conceive when you get older!” Family gatherings often turned into this—those who weren’t married urging others to tie the knot quickly, and once married, pushing for children. After having kids, they’d discuss schools…
There always seemed to be endless concerns about other people’s lives.
Called out by name, Qiao Nuo looked up and saw Aunt Er who had asked her the question.
She truly didn't know how to answer that question. After all, during her recent encounters with Jin Chengyan, there had been no protective measures taken. She was unsure if they had ever used protection in the past, but the thought of children had never crossed her mind.
Feeling lost, she wanted to seek help from Jin Mengli, but Jin Mengli's response was not as supportive as she had hoped.
Yu Xin noticed Qiao Nuo's embarrassment and gently cleared her throat. "Qiao Nuo is still young and wants to enjoy life for a couple more years. One Yu Xiu is already a handful; if Qiao Nuo were to have a child, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?" Yu Xin replied casually.
Aunt Er, overhearing Yu Xin, felt a bit disgruntled. Wasn't it just rumors about Qiao Nuo and Jin Chengyan's marriage having some hidden issues?
Even wealthy families were the same; when there was little entertainment, they enjoyed gossiping about others.
However, after Aunt Er's comment, Yu Xin genuinely started to care. Naturally, she wanted to defend her daughter-in-law in front of the family, but when it came to Qiao Nuo, Yu Xin maintained the same attitude as Aunt Er.
When would Qiao Nuo have children?
Qiao Nuo found herself at a loss for words. Ultimately, it was Yu Xin who noticed that Qiao Nuo truly didn’t know how to respond and took into account her recent memory loss, deciding not to press further.
But she did express her desire for a grandchild!
As for Qiao Nuo, she mentioned Alexander; when she left the Jin Family Mansion, Jin Chengyan hadn’t come by at all, which indicated he was indeed very busy.
Sitting in the car, she was surprised when Jin Chengyan’s call came through.
“Qiao Nuo.” His voice sounded somewhat heavy, and she sensed he had something on his mind.
“What’s wrong? Is the collaboration not going well?” Qiao Nuo instinctively tried to comfort him.
This was both an advantage and disadvantage of phone calls; when someone said they were fine, you could never truly know if they were. You couldn't see their expression or understand what they were thinking.
“Mm…” Jin Chengyan replied softly.
Qiao Nuo paused for a moment, unable to believe that Jin Chengyan was truly upset over their collaboration.
“It’s okay. If this partnership doesn’t work out, there will be others. A company as big as Jin’s isn’t going to miss just one collaboration, right?”
Jin Chengyan didn’t respond to Qiao Nuo’s attempt at reassurance. Instead, he said, “Go home now and get a copy of the Contract from the safe. It’s at the very bottom. I’m still at Jin; can you bring it to me?”
“Sure, just wait a moment. I’ll get it to you quickly!” Qiao Nuo agreed without hesitation.
“The code is 900117.” As Jin Chengyan spoke those numbers, his tone was slightly subdued. He understood the significance of those digits and knew that Qiao Nuo did too.
Of course, this was something Qiao Nuo had known before her amnesia.
“Got it,” Qiao Nuo replied, sounding completely normal as she hung up the phone.
That tone left no hint of any cracks in her composure for Jin Chengyan to detect.
After ending the call, Qiao Nuo instructed the driver to speed up towards Jin Mansion.
The car moved smoothly and swiftly along the road. Before long, her phone rang again. She initially thought it was Jin Chengyan calling back, but instead, it was a text from an unknown number. She almost dismissed it as spam until she noticed a few familiar names.
Jin Chengyan, Qiao Nuo.
Was this related to her?
She opened the message to find a long string of text accompanied by an image.
“Qiao Nuo, you are the third party intervening in someone else’s relationship, claiming Jin Chengyan as your own. He doesn’t love you; the one he loves is Ruan Shengyu. For her, he would sacrifice everything he has, even his life! You? He ruined your innocence for Ruan Shengyu! Do you really think your relationship is based on love? He has never loved you! Don’t use your amnesia to trap him! Even if you possess his body, you will never have his heart!”
The accompanying image showed Jin Chengyan embracing Ruan Shengyu. The woman in the photo smiled gently while the man gazed down at her with deep affection—a perfect couple!
Seeing the photo and the text, Qiao Nuo felt completely disoriented.
However, what surprised her even more was when she returned to the Jin Mansion and opened the safe, only to find the contract she had signed with Jin Chengyan lying inside.
A four-year marriage sealed with a piece of paper!
Qiao Nuo felt utterly confused.
