But despite her intelligence, she couldn’t have guessed that his memory stayed in the past.

  The past when Gu Yu despised her and told her, “I’m not interested in you, get lost!” The past when he did not even bother to look her in the eyes.

  They got close and had more intimate interaction after he woke up from the car accident, and now he could remember none of them.

  Assistant Lin was filled with anxiousness when Xu Weilai sat in silence.

  The truth about Gu Yu’s memory lost was only known to him and Master Xu. Although they have been feeding him the snippets of his lost memories of the past few years, he seemed to have no emotions towards these memories.

  Gu Yu seemed to listen to these memories like he was an outsider listening to someone else’s stories of the past.

  Therefore, both Master Xu and he decided not to let Xu Weilai knew about his memory to avoid breaking her heart. She had always been on the Gu family’s side all these while, after all. For them, Xu Weilai will sacrifice herself for her love towards Gu Yu.

  Today, he had no choice but to do so.

  Because Gu Yu had not only forgotten about Xu Weilai, he had also forgotten about him as an excellent assistant, Gu Yu was likely to fire him at will if he could not show his capabilities to get things done.

  Only Master Xu that had grown up with him kept the deep bond of brotherhood between them.

  He was in desperation.

  Assistant Lin was no longer in the mood to be sad when he thought of it. Weakly, he said, “Miss Xu, I’ve told you everything I need to say. Then, shouldn’t you also fulfill your promise and sign the contract?”


  As he spoke, he took out a pen and unscrewed the cap. He held it with both hands and handed it over to Xu Weilai sincerely.

  Xu Weilai’s gaze returned to Assistant Lin as she slowly studied his face. Her lips curled up into a faint smile.

  Assistant Lin’s worried heart eased a little, and his tone became lighter. “Please.”


  Xu Weilai reached out and took the pen. Assistant Lin flipped through the documents eagerly until he reached the page that required signatures and looked at her with great anticipation.

  But his anticipation went downhill when he saw Xu Weilai twirled the pen with her fingers before putting it down. Her red lips moved and enunciated, “I want Gu Yu to show up and discuss with me in person.”


  Assistant Lin’s heart sank. Sadness filled his face. “Miss Xu, you can’t go back on your word. You said you’re going to sign it.”


  Xu Weilai nodded. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t sign it. I’ll sign it if Gu Yu meets me in person.”


  Assistant Xu could not say another word.

  Assistant Lin gave Gu Yu a call, tactfully relaying Xu Weilai’s request after he left Starbucks Coffee. As expected, decisive rejection came from the other end of the phone.

  Thoughts of immediate resignation when he got back to the office filled Assistant Lin’s mind.

  –


  Xu Weilai spent a little over an hour at the rehabilitation center for her recovery exercise. She was covered in sweat by the time her session ended.

  Then she returned to Xiao Chun’s apartment and prepared soup and some other dishes. She ate some herself before packing up a small insulated container of soup and carried it with her when she left.

  She arrived at the hospital soon after in a taxi and walked towards Grandpa Gu’s ward leisurely.

  When she reached the door, she glimpsed the figure of a tall man leaning against the wall. There was a cigarette between his fingers. He lazily took a puff as he threw a glance her way.

  He eyed her from head to toe, and his gaze fell on the insulated container in her hand. A hint of impatience swept through his haughty face.

  He casually flicked off the ashes on his cigarette. He opened his mouth. The faint hoarse voice trailed on. “Don’t bother. I’m still not interested in you even if you pester me.”
