From that day on, Vivian could always see tenderness in those eyes, just like when they first met, and it never changed.
So she really couldn't imagine that Brother Yingheng would look at her with such disgust.
She was scared.
She wasn't even afraid of death; her only fear was that Brother Yingheng would never want her again, and she would have no choice but to return to that dark and gloomy basement...
No! Don't!
Vivian screamed hysterically and lunged at Lu Yingheng like a madwoman.
"No! No! Brother Yingheng! You can kill me, you can kill me! But you absolutely cannot hate me!"
"I promise you, I'll agree to anything you ask. Please don't hate me, and please don't leave me, okay?"
Vivian can do anything! Vivian is capable of anything!
Vivian was terrified, desperately burrowing into Lu Yingheng's arms, as if she was afraid he would really abandon her.
Tears quickly soaked Lu Yingheng's clothes. Feeling the girl in his arms, his heart suddenly began to ache.
"No... please, Brother Yingheng, don't abandon Vivian!" she cried and shouted.
The girls present all fell silent.
They couldn't empathize with Vivian's state of mind.
In their eyes, Vivian was their rival in love, but she was also a patient, and also the most miserable one among them.
Hoshimi Miyabi has her parents and family by her side, and Alice also has her father.
Hoshimi Kariichi has comrades like Remiel, as well as descendants of the Hoshimi Family.
Although Remiel has no one to rely on right now, her friends just haven't woken up yet.
For Vivian, Lu Yingheng truly was the only person left in her world.
That's why she was so extreme. In her eyes, Alice and her group competing with her for Brother Yingheng was tantamount to taking away her whole world.
Who wouldn't go crazy?
During the year that Lu Yingheng faked her death, she did not choose to die; she was sustained entirely by her belief in revenge.
Therefore, everyone present chose to remain silent and let Vivian calm down first.
Seeing Vivian's mental state, Lu Yingheng suddenly felt her heart ache even more.
After all, he bears the primary responsibility...
If only I hadn't made this choice in the first place...
Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and Lu Yingheng finally softened. " Vivian, please listen to me first, okay?"
His words were filled with deep regret.
Vivian kept snuggling into his arms, murmuring incessantly:
"Don't hate Vivian... don't hate Vivian..."
Lu Yingheng reached out and touched the top of her head. "Okay, Vivian, stop crying. I promise you, I will never hate you."
Vivian looked up with teary eyes, just like a kitten about to be abandoned, gazing at you sadly, hoping you wouldn't leave her.
Lu Yingheng finally compromised:
" Vivian, as long as you don't hurt anyone else in the future, I promise I'll never hate you, okay?"
This is his bottom line.
Since I'm already tied to Remiel and Hoshimi Kariichi, what difference would it make if I Vivian too?
Lu Yingheng sighed inwardly.
Vivian nodded vigorously; all she wanted was for Brother Yingheng not to dislike her.
This is also her bottom line.
Lu Yingheng gently pushed her away, then looked at all the girls:
"Because I haven't regained my memory yet, I can't accept any of your statements."
"I will leave for a while and try to find my own memories in my own way."
The expressions on everyone's faces changed, including those of Remiel and Hoshimi Kariichi.
Remiel was already internally complaining. After all these years, shouldn't they hand in their homework first before meeting again?
Lu Yingheng was being stared at by everyone present, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down her forehead.
"Uh... I come back every week, after all, I need to regain my memories, right?"
He was completely out of options; he could only stall for as long as possible.
He initially only wanted to win over a few forces and cultivate an excellent manager; he never intended to incur so many emotional debts.
His initial idea was particularly wonderful:
The younger sister, whom he rescued from the Order of Glorification, was adopted and, grateful for his kindness, worked hard to manage her own Dragon Emperor Bureau.
The father was saved by his younger sister's best friend, and later, when managing the family, he became an ally of the Dragon Emperor Bureau, which was managed by his sister.
The student, whose entire family was saved by him and with whom he had a master-disciple relationship, became his staunch supporter after gaining immense power and control over his family.
Who the hell could have imagined that one would violate filial piety, another would try to repay a debt of gratitude with his own life, and yet another would turn against his master and become a rebellious disciple!
Lu Yingheng felt like vomiting blood; he was beginning to doubt whether his parenting methods were flawed.
How come they all turn out so badly?
"No! Honey! How could you abandon me and leave first?"
Alice immediately retorted.
She absolutely did not want Lu Yingheng to leave, after all, she had gone to great lengths to lie and obtain the status of a wife.
If Lu Yingheng regains her memories later, wouldn't all her efforts have been for nothing?
Hoshimi Miyabi felt the same way and immediately echoed expressionlessly, "My parents have been waiting for a long time, and we need to go back and discuss our wedding date immediately."
Vivian glared fiercely at the two of them, like a kitten guarding its food.
If Lu Yingheng hadn't issued the ban earlier, she probably would have immediately pulled out [ Lust ] and started fighting again.
Lu Yingheng already showed despair. "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."
"This is my contact information. You can contact me if you have any important matters to attend to."
I'll come find you in a week, and I'll send you a message then.
2 a. m.
The Hoshimi Family's residence.
Inside the room, Hoshimi Kariichi was holding a book that looked very old.
"Then why are you still reading your ' The Complete Guide to Human Emotions '? But to be honest, your performance as the sharp-tongued 'first wife' today was quite good."
Remiel lay on her side on another bed, a face mask on her pretty face, watching Hoshimi Kariichi with great interest.
Hoshimi Kariichi, expressionless, continued flipping through a few more pages before revealing a smile, "Well, thank you for the compliment."
Remiel sighed, "Indeed, you can only be natural when you're with him."
Hoshimi Kariichi didn't say anything, but continued studying the book in his hand.
"After all, it was him who taught me."
The words were spoken very softly, Remiel did not hear them.
