The broken skin was soaked in sweat, and it was a little painful. It was even more painful under the friction of the rough work clothes.

  The man looked at the 2,000 dollars in his hand and felt that it was worth it.

  If he could earn 2,000 dollars today, he might be able to earn 4,000 dollars tomorrow.

  When he had work experience, he could do other jobs. He believed that with his efforts, he could give the woman a good life.

  The sky was dark when he returned to the Dragon Manor.

  He returned to the courtyard that Long Xiao arranged for him. As soon as he walked in, he saw Long Xiao sitting at the dining table. The dining table was filled with dishes as if she was waiting for him to eat.

  “Are you waiting for me?”


  Long Xiao’s heart that had been worried the entire time finally relaxed when she saw the man. She immediately stood up to welcome him and sized him up from left to right. Her voice was filled with worry. “Where have you been? Why have you come back now?”


  “I found a job. I came back after I finished it.”He strode over and sat down at the dining table.

  “What kind of job did you find? Which company?” Long Xiao sat down too and looked at the man in front of her. She did not expect him to look for a job just because he said so.

  “Heng Tai.” The man looked at the food in front of him that was still steaming. He had worked hard the whole afternoon and was so hungry that his stomach was empty. He picked up the chopsticks and the rice bowl with one hand and started eating.

  Heng Tai?

  Heng Tai was a rice industry and the company was quite big. Long Xiao watched the man eat and she felt that it was the first time she had seen him eat so well.

  The man suddenly raised his head to look at Long Xiao and asked, “Is there any news about Babe?”


  Long Xiao shook her head. “Not for the time being. I’ve asked them to look for her. There should be news soon.” “Alright.” The man retracted his gaze and lowered his head to continue eating. He knew that it would be very difficult to find her without knowing her information.

  Long Xiao looked at the food in front of her and picked up her chopsticks to eat a few mouthfuls. When she thought of the woman that he fell in love with, at first sight, she raised her eyes and asked him, “How did you and that Babe meet?” At the mention of that woman, the man recalled the scene of him interacting with her. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. “I met her in the village. She’s a very special woman.”


  In his eyes, that woman was different from the women he had seen before.

  She could stir up his emotions and anger easily.

  No matter how much she pestered him and made trouble for no reason, he could not do anything to her.

  A special woman?

  Long Xiao sneered in her heart. She must be a woman who was especially good at seducing people.

  Her eyes rolled and she said, “My grandfather will organise a banquet and announce my identity in two days. At that time, you will be my dance partner. I haven’t danced with you for a long time. I miss it.”


  The man raised his head and looked at Long Xiao in front of him. He could not remember anything from the past, he said, “The banquet to announce your identity is very important. I can not remember anything from the past, so thus the dance. You should find a man who knows how to dance.”


  She was rejected just because of the dance?

  “But you used to dance with me.” Long Xiao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, there was a hint of grievance in her voice. “When I was in Shangjiu Bay, you said that you wanted to marry me. Now that you lost your memory, and you fell in love with another woman after I left for a few days. You even rejected me when I invited you for a dance.”


  The man was stunned when he heard that. He did not expect that he had said that he wanted to marry the woman in front of her. Looking at Long Xiao in front of him, she lowered her eyes slightly and she looked very wrong.

  He saw Long Xiao from the moment he woke up. She was laughing and crying. Her eyes were red and swollen. The dark circles under her eyes were very severe. She had been watching him for three days and three nights.

  She said, “You’re finally awake.”.

  That left a deep impression on him. He did not remember the past, nor did he know that he would do such a thing.

  He said that he was going to marry Long Xiao, but in the end, he met a woman and liked her. He wanted to marry her. “Long Xiao, I’m sorry.” Other than these words, he did not know what else to say. No matter what he said, he looked terrible.

  Long Xiao pursed her lips and raised her head to look at the man. There was a faint sparkle in the depths of her eyes. “Is it useful to be sorry? Can you not look for that woman called Babe? Can you fulfil your previous promise?”


  Long Xiao’s voice was low and gentle with a hint of sobs. It sounded like she was trying her best to endure the grievance. It was especially heartbreaking. The man saw Long Xiao had been smiling like a flower without any worries. Now that he saw her like this, he was somewhat at a loss.

  He said, “I’m sorry, Long Xiao. I have to be responsible for her.”


  When she received this answer, Long Xiao’s expression was ugly. She gritted her teeth and did not say anything else. “I’ll go back first. You should rest early too.”


  After she finished speaking, she did not wait for the man to reply. She stood up and walked out. She gave off the feeling that she could not take it anymore and chose to leave.

  The man stared at Long Xiao’s back as she left. His slender fingers rubbed his aching forehead.

  After relieving his headache, he opened the closet. The pyjamas and nightgowns inside were all hung all over the closet. The colours were usually light grey, silver, and navy blue. One could tell that it was prepared by Long Xiao with one look. Only Long Xiao knew him here and knew what he liked.

  He took out the pyjamas and touched the fabric. The texture was soft and silky, very comfortable.

  When he was showering, the warm water touched the bruised area on his shoulder. It hurt a lot.

  No matter how painful it was, it was still better than falling from nine-bay. The first few days after he woke up, he had a headache, and his whole body felt like it had been reassembled. Now it was much better.

  He quickly finished showering, wiped his wet hair with a dry towel, and wiped the water droplets off his body.

  After putting on his nightgown, he opened the bathroom door and walked out.

  He glanced at the large bed in the room. It was a large bed with rosewood carvings, and the carvings were very exquisite.

  When he was lying on the bed, he felt tired instantly, but he did not feel sleepy at all.

  Ah Yu did not know that he had said that to Long Xiao before, but now that he knew, he realized that he was too much of a jerk.

  Apart from the things that happened before he lost his memory, he also spent some time with Long Xiao, and they had spent more time together compared to Babe.

  However, he did not feel that Long Xiao’s heart was burning hot, nor did he feel that his heart was beating faster.

  On the contrary, when he was facing Babe, her every move could make his heart feel hot. It was too easy for his heart to beat faster.

  He could not help but want to kiss her.

  The body was often more honest than the heart.

  Unknowingly, he fell asleep When he woke up, the man realized that his arms and legs did not feel like his own. They were sore and painful.

  These were the consequences of not doing physical work and not exercising for a long time.

  If Qin Shu was there……, she would say, “Did you experience the feeling of your limbs not being your own too? Did you feel sore and pain? Then you should have thought of me. I was tortured by you for five to six hours or even more. Not only did my limbs not feel like my own, but even my small waist also did not feel like my own. Do you understand?”


  Next time, he should be more restrained.

  The man moved a little and went out after breakfast.

  It was much more convenient to communicate with his mobile phone in advance.

  This time it was to carry drinks, also by piece.

  The man changed into his work clothes. He was familiar with it once, but this time he was even more familiar with it than yesterday.
