Jin Chengyan stepped out of the Jin Mansion, his face tense. He scolded the two bodyguards at the entrance, "You didn't notice that someone is missing? How do you do your job?" 0
 
The two bodyguards were completely dumbfounded. They had been stationed right at the door and had no idea that Qiao Nuo was gone! 0
 
There was no point in saying more; the person was already missing, and continuing to hold them accountable would not change anything. 0
 
With a dark expression, he got into the car. A Shan shot a stern glance at the two subordinates before silently entering as well. 0
 
"Should we conduct a thorough search for Young Madam?" A Shan asked quietly. 0
 
Jin Chengyan remained silent, frowning as he pondered. 0
 
How could Qiao Nuo, such a grown woman, simply vanish from the Jin Mansion? How did she get out, and where could she possibly go? What was she planning? 0
 
"Go to Qiao Chen's school," he instructed the driver. 0
 
No matter what Qiao Nuo was up to, she couldn't change the fact that Qiao Chen was her brother. Even if she wanted to leave, she would likely take Qiao Chen with her! 0
 
He was her only blood relative in this world! 0
 
The car drove straight to Qiao Chen's school but was stopped at the gate. A Shan got out and spoke with the guard for a moment, after which the gate swung open, allowing them to park right in front of Qiao Chen's classroom building. 0
 
A Shan initially suggested he would go up alone, but just as the car came to a stop, Jin Chengyan got out and hurried upstairs. 0
 
Qiao Chen was in Language class, where the teacher was analyzing classical Chinese literature. Jin Chengyan burst into the room without any warning! 0
 
All fifty people in the classroom, including the teacher, turned to look at Jin Chengyan at the door. 0
 
Many girls were captivated by the sight of such a handsome man with a hint of an underworld aura entering their classroom. The boys displayed a mix of indifference, respect, and curiosity. 0
 
When Qiao Chen looked up, he saw Jin Chengyan standing at the entrance. It seemed he was searching for something before finally locking his gaze onto Qiao Chen! 0
 
"Sir, what are you doing? We're still in class!" The Language teacher exclaimed angrily at Jin Chengyan. 0
 
 
Jin Chengyan completely ignored her and walked straight toward Qiao Chen, grabbing his wrist firmly. "Come with me!" 0
 
The moment Qiao Chen saw Jin Chengyan, he felt a wave of discomfort wash over him. This man had come to the school again, and now he was demanding that Qiao Chen follow him. On what grounds? 0
 
"Why should I go with you?" Qiao Chen retorted, his temper flaring. He was a stubborn young man. 0
 
Jin Chengyan frowned slightly. "I don't want to repeat myself for the third time. Come with me now!" 0
 
The situation seemed serious. Was something wrong with his sister? 0
 
In an instant, Qiao Chen sprang up from his chair, towering over Jin Chengyan, his presence equally formidable. "What have you done to my sister?" 0
 
The entire classroom watched the confrontation between the two, but it was clear that Jin Chengyan's age gave him an advantage over Qiao Chen's youthful defiance. 0
 
"You'll find out when we get there," Jin Chengyan said without elaborating. He released Qiao Chen's wrist, knowing that as long as it involved Qiao Nuo, Qiao Chen would follow without hesitation. 0
 
Sure enough, the moment Jin Chengyan took his first step out of the classroom, Qiao Chen immediately followed. 0
 
"Qiao Chen, what are you doing? Skipping class for no reason? Do you even care about your education or college anymore?" The teacher was furious; this wasn't the first time Qiao Chen had acted out. 0
 
Before Qiao Chen could respond, Jin Chengyan interjected, "I'm his brother-in-law. Whatever happens, I'll take full responsibility." 0
 
"Wow!" A chorus of gasps erupted from the classroom, both boys and girls alike were taken aback. Was Qiao Chen's brother-in-law really that handsome? And here was Qiao Chen looking good too! 0
 
However, Jin Chengyan had no time to bask in the admiration of the students. He quickly exited the classroom with Qiao Chen trailing behind. 0
 
As they sped away from the school in the car, Qiao Chen couldn't sit still. 0
 
"Jin Chengyan, what have you done to my sister? You keep hurting her like this! If I let her go with you again this time, I’ll write my name backward!" 0
 
It seemed that Qiao Nuo hadn't reached out to Qiao Chen at all. 0
 
 
She didn't look for Qiao Chen; where else could she go? She couldn't remember anything from the past, and after leaving Jin Mansion alone, who could she find? 0
 
"Say something! What have you done to my sister?" Qiao Chen shouted at Jin Chengyan. This person had dragged him out of school without telling him what had happened to his sister—wasn't that infuriating? 0
 
Jin Chengyan turned to look at Qiao Chen's worried face. "She's fine. She said you were studying too hard and told you to rest at home for a few days." 0
 
Qiao Chen was stunned. What kind of reasoning was that? Qiao Nuo was still worried about him studying too hard? Just because he didn't study much didn't mean he could be fooled! 0
 
"You're talking nonsense!" 0
 
Let it be nonsense; Jin Chengyan decided not to dwell on the issue any longer. 0
 
When the car arrived at Jin Mansion, the bodyguards of the Jin Family escorted Qiao Chen into the villa. Meanwhile, the area around Jin Mansion was put on high alert; anyone wanting to enter had to go through identity verification, and anyone wanting to leave needed Jin Chengyan's permission. 0
 
Qiao Chen pounded on the door vigorously, and only then did he realize he had been placed under house arrest by Jin Chengyan! 0
 
0
 
"Ji Nuan Yang, why did you tell Qiao Nuo those things? Look how upset she is now!" Ji Xining came out of the guest room and yelled at Ji Nuan Yang. 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang ignored Ji Xining and walked straight downstairs. 0
 
"Hey, hey, hey! Why aren’t you answering me? Do you think you’re justified in doing this?" Ji Xining quickly caught up with Ji Nuan Yang and blocked his path. 0
 
At first, when Qiao Nuo asked Ji Xining for help, she was a bit confused. After hearing what Qiao Nuo said on the phone, she couldn't think of any solutions. She could handle small troubles, but for something like this, Ji Xining could only turn to Ji Nuan Yang. 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang had someone black out the surveillance cameras on several roads near Jin Mansion and took Qiao Nuo out through the back door. 0
 
Getting her out wasn't difficult; the challenge was what Qiao Nuo should do afterward. 0
 
She wanted to know about her past, so Ji Nuan Yang arranged for someone to find her history and tell her everything without missing a word. 0
 
 
But the matter between her and Jin Chengyan was known only to the two of them. 0
 
"So, do you think Jin Chengyan really loves Qiao Nuo?" Ji Xining asked, glancing at Ji Nuan Yang unconsciously, as if she were directing the question at him. 0
 
In response to Ji Xining's question, Ji Nuan Yang fell silent for a moment. 0
 
She thought she wouldn't get an answer, but unexpectedly he said, "You should ask Jin Chengyan." 0
 
... 0
 
Inside the guest room, Qiao Nuo snapped back to reality from her chaotic thoughts. 0
 
It turned out that the Qiao Family had gone bankrupt before she married Jin Chengyan. Her good friend was with her fiancé, and in her moment of desperation, she ended up marrying Jin Chengyan. 0
 
The information here didn't elaborate much; it merely stated that Qiao Nuo had married Jin Chengyan. 0
 
Having seen the Marriage Contract, Qiao Nuo knew that her marriage to Jin Chengyan was merely a transaction. 0
 
Earlier, Ji Xining had asked Qiao Nuo if she left Jin Mansion without a word, would Jin Chengyan be worried about her? 0
 
Qiao Nuo had thought to say that he would definitely be worried. It was like spending money on something and then suddenly losing it; that feeling must be incredibly frustrating. 0
 
Of course, Qiao Nuo didn’t express this to Ji Xining. The Contract was supposed to be confidential, and she didn’t want others to know about her unglamorous situation. 0
 
Knowing all of this, she simply needed a quiet place to contemplate how to move forward with her life... 0
 
After pondering for an entire afternoon, Qiao Nuo found herself in Ji Nuan Yang's study. 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang was unsure of Qiao Nuo's intentions for coming. He could help her only to a limited extent; he could assist her in leaving Jin Mansion, but once Jin Chengyan found Qiao Nuo, he wouldn’t be able to keep her here. 0
 
 
She would always be Mrs. Jin Chengyan. Whether it was Ji Xining or Ji Nuan Yang, they were merely friends of Qiao Nuo. 0
 
“Master Ji…” 0
 
“Qiao Nuo, I’ve always considered you a friend. You don’t need to be so formal with me. You can call me Nuan Yang, or just call me Brother like Xi Ning does; I should be older than you.” Ji Nuan Yang had a strong belief in first impressions. He found Qiao Nuo pleasant to look at from the very beginning, and since she was close to Xi Ning, he was willing to help her. 0
 
Qiao Nuo paused for a moment. Calling Ji Nuan Yang by his name so directly, or even calling him brother, made her feel a bit… too familiar. 0
 
“Thank you for helping me get out of Jin Mansion. Everything feels so sudden right now, and I really want to recover my memories and know everything about my past.” When Qiao Nuo was nervous, she would clasp her hands together, squeezing the skin between her thumb and index finger. “If everything you tell me is true, then I want to reclaim Qiao's Architecture. It’s my father’s company, and I don’t want to fail to protect his legacy after he’s gone. In return, I’ll give you ten percent of the shares.” 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang smiled slightly but did not react to Qiao Nuo’s words. 0
 
Waiting for a response made Qiao Nuo anxious. She had no one else to turn to; the only people she could rely on were Ji Xining and Ji Nuan Yang. 0
 
If he refused her, it seemed she would have no choice but to go back to Jin Chengyan? 0
 
“If you act like this, Xi Ning will blame me for not helping her best friend,” Ji Nuan Yang finally relented, easing Qiao Nuo's worries. “However, if I were to confront Jin Chengyan directly for your sake, it would be a bit of a loss for me. I’m not particularly interested in ten percent of Qiao Family shares.” 0
 
As expected, Qiao Nuo was too quick to feel happy; Ji Nuan Yang wouldn’t start a conflict with Jin Chengyan, the head of the Qin family’s first-class household, just for her sake. 0
 
She couldn’t force him either; some things she deemed important might be worthless in someone else’s eyes. 0
 
“Alright, I understand…” 0
 
Seeing the dejected look on Qiao Nuo’s face, Ji Nuan Yang suddenly smiled. “For Xi Ning’s sake, I’ll help you out. You can keep the shares for yourself.” 0
 
Qiao Nuo was speechless with excitement; it felt as though she wasn’t fighting this battle alone anymore. 0
 
But she didn’t quite understand why she felt like she was gearing up for a fight. 0
 
She wasn’t foolish either; yesterday Jin Chengyan had asked her to retrieve some documents from the safe. She had searched through the safe thoroughly but found nothing resembling any information—just guns, passports, a set of jewelry, some identification documents, and that Marriage Contract. 0
 
 
To confirm, Qiao Nuo opened the Contract to take a look. 0
 
Could Jin Chengyan really have forgotten to place such an important document in the safe? All his weaknesses were laid bare before Qiao Nuo! Was it that he trusted her too much, or had he never trusted her at all? 0
 
Testing the waters, the words flashed through Qiao Nuo's mind. 0
 
She had slowly come to this realization after arriving at the Ji Family, so she needed to take action herself; she couldn't always remain at a disadvantage! 0
 
"Actually, I didn't plan to be against my... husband," the word 'husband' nearly slipped from Qiao Nuo's lips, but she held back at the last moment. It felt inappropriate to continue calling him that. "I just want to clarify this series of events." 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang nodded in understanding. "If you need anything, just let me know. Aside from murder and arson, I’ll help with whatever I can." 0
 
"Thank you!" 0
 
"However, I think Jin Chengyan will find this place soon. What do you plan to do then?" That would be the moment when Ji Nuan Yang and Jin Chengyan would confront each other directly! 0
 
"Don't worry; he won't force me to leave," Qiao Nuo replied confidently. 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang looked forward to seeing how things would unfold. 0
 
After that, Qiao Nuo discussed some other matters with Ji Nuan Yang. 0
 
Originally, Qiao Nuo was responsible for signing the Contract with Ji Nuan Yang, but her kidnapping and memory loss had delayed things. Ji Nuan Yang hadn’t sought anyone else during that time. 0
 
Now that Qiao Nuo wanted to reclaim the Qiao Family, it was only natural for Ji Nuan Yang to keep the Contract for her to sign. 0
 
Once the Contract was signed, Qiao Nuo faxed it back to Jin's Architecture. Being able to sign a Contract with the Ji Family marked a significant leap in her status within the company. It would be much easier for her to seek promotions and gain entry into the board of directors in the future. 0
 
... 0
 
The day after Qiao Nuo moved into the Ji Family, an unexpected guest arrived. At that moment, Qiao Nuo and Ji Xining were coming down from upstairs, preparing to head to C City. If the two companies were to sign a contract, Qiao Nuo would definitely need to send someone to C City to liaise with Ji Family representatives. They would also need to arrange an office there; there were many tasks ahead. 0
 
 
Sun Wen had entrusted Qiao Nuo with the full responsibility of this case. 0
 
Little did they know that as they descended the stairs, they encountered Yan An City. 0
 
"Xiao Xining, who is this beautiful person beside you? I don't... recognize..." Yan An City looked up towards the stairs and caught sight of Ji Xining. He wanted to see who was with her, but he was immediately choked up. 0
 
Qiao Nuo! 0
 
What was she doing here? 0
 
Following the sound, Qiao Nuo looked down and saw the person she had met last time when dining with Qiao Chen. That person was Yan Beiting. She had learned from Ji Nuan Yang's information yesterday that his name was Yan An City. 0
 
Yan Beiting's cousin, the sixth son of the Yan Family, he had a good relationship with both Jin Chengyan and Yan Beiting, and he also got along well with Ji Nuan Yang. He was quite a perceptive individual. 0
 
Yan An City glanced around but didn’t spot Ji Nuan Yang anywhere. He immediately pulled Ji Xining aside as she came down the stairs. 0
 
While speaking, he couldn’t help but glance at Qiao Nuo, who stood at the foot of the stairs, feeling a lingering fear. 0
 
"Why is Jin Chengyan's wife here with you? Don’t you know that yesterday Jin Chengyan mobilized all the Jin Family members to search for Qiao Nuo? They couldn’t find her and then he threw a fit. Do you know that Jin Chengyan even confined Qiao Nuo’s brother in Jin Mansion? With her here now, is your brother clearly indicating that he doesn’t want to reconcile with Jin Chengyan?" Yan An City was genuinely worried. 0
 
Ji Xining blinked innocently, wearing an expression that said she didn’t understand what he was talking about. 0
 
Yan An City felt utterly exasperated. "Why am I always caught in between you all? First it was Yan Ge and Brother San, now it’s you and Yan Ge. What do you want me to do?" 0
 
Ji Xining pushed away Yan An City, who had linked arms with her, and said cheerfully, "Just pretend you didn’t see anything! What else can you do? If you dare tell Jin Chengyan that Qiao Nuo is here, be careful or I’ll make you a eunuch!" 0
 
Yan An City looked utterly distressed. 0
 
However, help soon arrived for him. 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang emerged from a side room and upon hearing Ji Xining threaten Yan An City, she grabbed her by the scruff of her neck. "How can you speak to Ancheng like that? Show some respect!" 0
 
 
Hearing Ji Nuan Yang's voice, Ji Xining immediately felt deflated, but she was facing away from Ji Nuan Yang and toward Yan An City, making a face. 0
 
At that moment, Yan An City couldn't help but feel concerned. "It's fine, it's fine. Just let her go. She's grown up now! You can't just grab her by the scruff of her neck like that!" 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang huffed lightly. "She's clearly still a little girl." 0
 
Ji Xining wouldn't have it and quickly retorted, "I'm not a child! I'm just as grown up as you are..." 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang shot Ji Xining a glare, causing her to fall silent at once. She pouted and walked over to Qiao Nuo. 0
 
Seeing Ji Nuan Yang, Yan An City was worried sick. "Nuan Yang, Qiao Nuo is like a hot potato right now! Holding onto her is burning me! You need to return her quickly!" 0
 
"She has hands and feet; how can I control where she goes?" Ji Nuan Yang replied. "By the way, have you arranged the flight I asked for?" 0
 
"You know I'll take care of what you ask first! We're practically family!" 0
 
"Thanks, but later you need to take Xi Ning and Qiao Nuo to the airport." 0
 
"Damn it, Ji Nuan Yang, you're setting me up!" Yan An City felt like he had been caught in a trap. 0
 
He couldn't move the private jet himself and had to rely on Yan An City for help? It was ridiculous; he had just arrived in Qin Cheng and wanted Ji Xining to go back without worry while using his family's private plane! 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang shrugged. 0
 
"Brother, you're missing the point. You know my relationship with Yan Ge is good. If I help you send Qiao Nuo over, he'll kill me!" Once he was in this mess, it seemed Yan An City couldn't back out. 0
 
"You could always tell Yan Beiting!" 0
 
"You're just trying to stir up trouble and drag Brother San into this too." 0
 
Qiao Nuo watched as Yan An City and Ji Nuan Yang exchanged words, unsure of what they were discussing. Meanwhile, Ji Xining was excited about returning to C City, chattering away about how great C City was. 0
 
 
But Qiao Nuo was escaping from her past! Although she had quietly run off to C City, it was primarily to avoid Jin Chengyan. Deep down, she knew that sooner or later, Jin Chengyan would find her. 0
 
The only leverage she had to prevent Jin Chengyan from forcing her to stay by his side was the contract they held in their hands. 0
 
Speaking of which, this contract held no benefits for either her or Jin Chengyan. 0
 
Ji Xining had no intention of telling Qiao Nuo that Jin Chengyan had Qiao Chen under house arrest at Jin Mansion. After all, how could such a grown person be kept locked away by Jin Chengyan? 0
 
Yan An City had no choice but to take Qiao Nuo and Ji Xining to the airport. He quickly bought a ticket for himself, eager to leave Qin Cheng as soon as possible. He didn’t even know how he would face Jin Chengyan when he found out that he was involved in this mess! 0
 
After all, throughout yesterday, Yan An City was aware that the entire network of the Jin Family was secretly searching for Qiao Nuo’s whereabouts. Little did they expect that Qiao Nuo would be at Ji Nuan Yang's house! 0
 
In the VIP Lounge, Qiao Nuo stood by the glass window, watching the planes take off and land on the tarmac. Her mind was restless; she felt that something was about to happen. 0
 
Just then, while the flight paths were being arranged, someone rushed into the VIP Lounge and approached Qiao Nuo. 0
 
“Yan Beiting?” Qiao Nuo recognized his name from the information Ji Nuan Yang had given her. Yan Beiting was currently Ruan Shengyu's nominal boyfriend, but in reality, Ruan Shengyu and Yan Beiting had no real relationship. 0
 
Moreover, Yan Beiting had a tense relationship with Jin Chengyan; they had even fought over a woman—Ruan Shengyu. 0
 
It was all so complicated that Qiao Nuo felt utterly confused. 0
 
“Where are you going?” Yan Beiting managed to steady his breath. He had come from downtown and stopped his car at the airport entrance before rushing in without caring whether it would be towed away. All he wanted was to see Qiao Nuo as soon as possible. 0
 
He had learned yesterday that Jin Chengyan was looking for Qiao Nuo and had also confined Qiao Chen at Jin Mansion. He didn’t know what had happened between them, but he didn’t want Qiao Nuo to be left helpless. 0
 
Ye Yun had informed him that Yan An City had arranged a private jet to fly to C City. 0
 
However, the passengers turned out to be two: Ji Xining and Qiao Nuo. 0
 
He hurried over just in time; thankfully, Qiao Nuo hadn’t left yet. 0
 
 
"You may not remember, and that's okay, but you can't leave Qin Cheng now! I won't let you go again! I can't allow you to be with Jin Chengyan!" Yan Beiting's emotions had been in constant turmoil since Qiao Nuo was kidnapped, lost her memory, and now this. 0
 
At first, he wanted Qiao Nuo to be happy. If she chose Jin Chengyan, then he would let her go. 0
 
But Jin Chengyan—he couldn't allow Qiao Nuo to be with someone like him. 0
 
Qiao Nuo was taken aback. Did this mean that Yan Beiting liked her too? 0
 
That… seemed unlikely! 0
 
What about Ruan Shengyu? 0
 
"I'm sorry, the plane is about to take off. Xi Ning and I have to go," she said, pulling her hand away from Yan Beiting's grasp. She felt that it wasn't appropriate for a married woman to be entangled with a man who wasn't Jin Chengyan. 0
 
"Qiao Nuo!" Yan Beiting was somewhat angry. No matter how he spoke to her, she remained indifferent. 0
 
It had been that way before, it was that way now, and would it continue in the future? 0
 
"How about this? I'll arrange for this flight to return to Qin Cheng today. I'll get on the plane with you. Just listen to me first; after that, decide whether you want to stay in C City!" 0
 
Qiao Nuo wanted to say something, but Yan Beiting didn't give her the chance. It seemed he had a lot to say, but what exactly? 0
 
She looked at Ji Xining for help, hoping she could clarify what kind of person Yan Beiting really was, but Ji Xining shook her head, indicating she wasn't sure about their situation either. 0
 
Thus, their originally planned two-person trip turned into a three-person affair. Ji Xining was arranged to sit alone in one row while Yan Beiting forcefully took the seat next to Qiao Nuo. 0
 
Outside the airport, in a black Lincoln car, a man in formal attire watched the Yan Family plane take off and blinked casually. 0
 
 
"Young Master, Ruan Shengyu is also on today's flight to the capital," the driver reported to Ji Nuan Yang. 0
 
Ji Nuan Yang nodded; it was good that everything was concentrated on this day. 0
 
He took out his phone and dialed a number. "The person you want is at the airport, but the plane has already taken off. If you're interested, check the route of the Yan Family's private jet and the passengers." 0
 
After hanging up, he revealed a confident smile. 0
 
This left the driver somewhat puzzled. "Young Master, the young lady is also on that plane. What if something happens and she gets hurt?" 0
 
On this point, Ji Nuan Yang was not worried at all. "I've come this far; if he dares to let Xi Ning come to any harm, it won't just end like this." 0
 
He still remembered that slap from Ruan Shengyu! 0
 
No one in this world could bully Ji Xining—no one! 0
 
He closed the car window as they slowly drove away from the airport. 0
 
0
 
Sitting in the black Bentley, Jin Chengyan immediately had A Shan check the records of the Yan Family's private jet after Ji Nuan Yang hung up. 0
 
"Young Madam is on a flight to C City..." A Shan looked at the information on his phone. "Yan San Shao is also on board." 0
 
Jin Chengyan frowned. 0
 
"Head to C City!" He didn't instruct A Shan or any of his subordinates to go; he would go himself! 0
 
"Understood." A Shan quickly made arrangements. 0
 
The car sped down the highway, and Jin Chengyan toyed with his phone absentmindedly. After a long silence, he said, "Is Ji Nuan Yang recently just idle with nothing to do?" 0
 
 
A Shan was taken aback. Their young master had never liked Ji Nuan Yang. Even though Jin Zhongshu planned to collaborate with the Ji Family, Jin Chengyan had not responded much, dragging things out. 0
 
At this moment, when Jin Chengyan asked about Ji Nuan Yang, A Shan wondered if it had something to do with Qiao Nuo. 0
 
"Find out everything about him and Ji Xining! Leave no stone unturned!" Jin Chengyan's words were laced with a chilling tone. 0
 
No one could lead Jin Chengyan by the nose. This Ji Nuan Yang thought he could come to Qin Cheng and act like he owned the place. Did he really think he was the master of Qin Cheng? 0
 
Hmph! 0
 
0
 
Faced with Yan Beiting, Qiao Nuo felt a bit at a loss. As she watched the plane take off and ascend to three thousand meters, she turned her head and saw Yan Beiting still looking at her. 0
 
"Alright, Mr. Yan, what exactly do you want to say to me?" Qiao Nuo said helplessly, her gaze drifting past him to see Ji Xining already asleep down the corridor. 0
 
Yan Beiting withdrew his gaze from her and began speaking, "Did you and Ji Xining go to C City to avoid Jin Chengyan or for some other reason? Just tell me; if there’s a problem, I can help you solve it. I can't let you slip out of my sight again." 0
 
He didn’t want to force Qiao Nuo; he hoped she would make her own choice. If she wanted to leave Jin Chengyan, he would do everything he could to assist her. Once she was gone, he would not hesitate to be by her side and become the person who cherished her most in the world! 0
 
But what if Qiao Nuo didn’t want him near her? 0
 
Qiao Nuo looked at Yan Beiting; his eyes were sincere, yet she couldn’t recall having any connection with him in the past—no memory at all. 0
 
This feeling was different from what she felt with Jin Chengyan. 0
 
The first person she saw upon waking was Jin Chengyan. Although he felt unfamiliar and there were no memories of him in her mind, she inexplicably wanted to be close to him, as if it were something she was meant to do. 0
 
"If I ever gave you any misunderstanding in the past, I apologize. But right now, I am still Jin Chengyan's wife. My trip to C City is solely for work; you don’t need to worry about me. I also don’t want our relationship to worsen because of my connection with Jin Chengyan." 0
 
"You know that my relationship with him is not good?" Yan Beiting pressed on. Did this mean that Qiao Nuo remembered something? 0
 
 
Qiao Nuo quickly shook her head. "These are all things that Xi Ning's brother told me. I have the right to know everything about my past." 0
 
"Which means Jin Chengyan didn't tell you anything about your previous life!" Yan Beiting's logic was impeccable, finding a loophole in Qiao Nuo's words. 0
 
Is this the reason why Qiao Nuo wants to avoid Jin Chengyan? 0
 
Qiao Nuo suddenly felt anxious. Why is Yan Beiting so concerned about her relationship with Jin Chengyan? 0
 
But he wasn't wrong; Jin Chengyan indeed hadn't told her everything about her past, and had even deliberately concealed it. 0
 
"This is between him and me." Qiao Nuo turned away, no longer looking at Yan Beiting. She was a bit angry now, and when she got angry, it showed clearly on her face. Ignoring him was her way of expressing it. 0
 
"Qiao Nuo, if a man isn't even willing to tell you the truth, do you think there's any trust left between you? Why is Jin Chengyan with you, and why are you trying to avoid him? Even if you've lost your memory, I believe you still have your own judgment." 0
 
Qiao Nuo: "..." But I still don't remember you... 0
 
The plane landed at C City Airport, but unexpectedly, it wasn't on the scheduled flight path. 0
 
When the three of them stepped out of the cabin, they discovered that over twenty helicopters were surrounding the private plane they had just disembarked from, their rotors whirring loudly. 0
 
Qiao Nuo saw a man in a black suit descending from one of the helicopters. This man, seemingly from hell itself, walked step by step toward them—no, toward Qiao Nuo. 0
