Under Su Xian's shameless pleas, Qian Renxue finally compromised and let him sleep on the bed.

Feeling a pair of eyes constantly fixed on her back, blazing and profound, Qian Renxue's heart pounded wildly. How could she possibly fall asleep?

"Why are you staring at me?!"

Turning over to face him, Qian Renxue's heart trembled as she met those beautiful eyes. She shouted shyly.

Su Xian merely smiled without answering, his eyes still unblinking as they watched her, filled with a tender smile.

With such a beautiful and adorable wife, what more could he possibly want in life?

For the rest of this life, he would stay by her side. Even if beaten to death, he would never let go.

"Boring!"

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Qian Renxue clutched the blanket tightly, then turned her back to Su Xian. Her glistening eyes gazed out the window, though no one knew what she was thinking.

Time slowly passed...

"Are you asleep?"

A chill drifted in through the window. Qian Renxue curled up slightly, then turned her head a little to look behind her and could not help asking.

After waiting for a moment without receiving an answer, Qian Renxue immediately turned around.

"Asleep?"

Seeing Su Xian curled up like a baby, a sweet smile lingering on his face even in sleep, Qian Renxue froze briefly before smiling gently.

Maybe you'll hate me someday.

Murmuring to herself inwardly, Qian Renxue closed her eyes as well. The turmoil in her heart was temporarily set aside, and she enjoyed the tranquility of the night.

Outside the window, the stars shifted across the sky. In the blink of an eye, the night faded, and a faint ray of light shone in.

Qian Renxue's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Feeling a heaviness on her body, she slowly opened her hazy eyes. The sight before her left her completely stunned.

Su Xian was clinging to her like an octopus, his arms and legs wrapped around her body, his head resting on her shoulder...

In an instant, Qian Renxue's gaze went blank...

"Aaaahhh!!"

A piercing scream rang out in an instant, like thunder exploding and piercing the heavens.

"What happened?! What's going on?!"

Su Xian was startled awake as well. Ignoring the dizziness and muddle in his head, he abruptly sat up and looked at Qian Renxue with bleary eyes.

"Uh... gulp..."

Su Xian's eyes froze slightly, and a flash of heat passed through them as he unconsciously swallowed.

"Aaaahhh!!"

"What are you looking at?! Turn around already!"

Qian Renxue screamed again, her face flushed with both shame and anger. She kicked out directly, then hurriedly pulled her pajama collar shut.

"Damn!"

The sudden kick left Su Xian dazed. He fell straight off the bed, his brain rattling from the impact.

"Ahh~ My head... my head hurts so much!"

Covering his head tightly with both hands, Su Xian staggered to his feet. His face twisted in agony, while a glaring streak of red slowly ran down from the top of his head.

"Y-You're hurt?!"

Seeing blood flowing from Su Xian's head, Qian Renxue's heart tightened. She hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Who are you?!"

Su Xian cracked open his pain-filled eyes, froze, then warily retreated several steps.

His brows were furrowed, his gaze filled with confusion. His cold expression was like a sudden gust of icy wind.

Qian Renxue's outstretched hands stiffened slightly in midair. Looking at Su Xian, the coldness and unfamiliarity in his eyes stabbed at her heart, filling her with unease.

He didn't really lose his memory, did he?!

At the thought of that possibility, Qian Renxue's mind went blank. The flush on her face rapidly faded as she asked in a trembling voice,

"Don't you remember me? I'm Xue Er."

Qian Renxue stared fixedly at Su Xian, her eyes full of hope. She wished he could remember something—anything at all, even the slightest reaction to that name.

Yet what happened next left her in despair...

Su Xian's eyes did not ripple in the slightest at that name. He was frighteningly calm.

"I don't know any Xue Er. I only remember that I have a wife. She said she would marry me. Do you know her?"

His brows creased into the shape of a mountain as Su Xian stared blankly at Qian Renxue. His clear eyes were innocent and naive, as though everything felt utterly new to him.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's face alternated between red and purple. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had forgotten even her, yet he still remembered that he had a wife.

Her eyes reddened. Qian Renxue felt as though needles were piercing her heart. His indifferent appearance was like a small knife, slicing open her wounds again and again.

She had finally met someone who cared for her, and she had kicked him into amnesia just like that?

No!

Absolutely not!!

Tears fell like beads from a broken string. Qian Renxue slumped onto the bed with empty eyes, as though her soul had been drained from her. Her weak and helpless appearance was heartbreaking.

"Don't move around. I'll take you to Grandfather right away. He'll definitely cure you."

Amid her despair and confusion, Qian Renxue seemed to find a glimmer of light. She smiled bitterly in agitation, supporting Su Xian as she prepared to take him to Qian Daoliu.

Damn!

Qian Daoliu!!

Su Xian's heart suddenly trembled. The emptiness in his eyes instantly vanished, replaced by panic.

Fuck!

Looks like I took this act too far. How the hell am I supposed to wrap this up?

If I come clean now, won't I be beaten to death on the spot?!

He had only intended to play dumb to cover up the embarrassment from earlier, while teasing Qian Renxue to see how she would react.

He had never expected her to actually believe it...

Could it be... my acting was just too good?!

But there aren't any little golden statuettes for me in this world!!

Gulp~ How scary!

If he went to Spirit Hall, there would be Bibi Dong in front and Qian Daoliu behind him. One mother-in-law and one grandfather—this was practically a doubles team.

Just as Su Xian was about to find an opportunity to "recover," a sudden dripping sound rang out. Qian Renxue immediately stopped and looked at the blood on her arm.

The blood seemed almost coagulated. It did not move at all where it had dripped onto her hand.

"This blood..."

Its viscosity seemed far too high. Qian Renxue frowned and lightly wrinkled her delicate nose. As that familiar scent reached her, her expression immediately darkened.

"Tomato!! Juice!!"

Her lips pressed tightly together, Qian Renxue spoke each word through clenched teeth. Her crimson eyes stared at Su Xian like a volcano on the verge of erupting, rage surging within her.

Su Xian:!!!

Is it still too late to beg for mercy?!

Emmm... I probably won't die, right?!

"Wife, don't hit my face! I was wrong, boohoohoo..."

Su Xian hurriedly hugged Qian Renxue's leg and begged pitifully.

Before he could finish speaking, a fierce fist swung straight at him without the slightest mercy.

"Damn! You're really hitting me?!"

Su Xian's pupils contracted sharply. He instinctively rolled away, barely dodging it.
