Forgotten Love - Chapter 14

“…”

Gu Huaian’s expression froze on his face.

Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, I quickly smiled at him to soothe him.

“Actually, it’s not that complicated.”

“We fell in love naturally, and we’ve always been very happy.”

“It’s just that,” I paused again, casting a plaintive glance at Gu Huaian.

“A while ago, you cheated on me and fell in love with a new female employee.”

“You tried to keep her hidden away, but I found out, and you even wanted to run away with her.”

“Later, on the way to the airport, you got into a car accident and lost your memory.”

“So, I decided to take the opportunity to get rid of the third party and rekindle our happy life together.”

“…”

Gu Huaian said nothing, just looked at me with a blank expression.

“You don’t like this version either?”

I widened my eyes in surprise, feeling a bit troubled:

“Isn’t this a popular theme in short dramas lately?”

“Or maybe you don’t like romance? Prefer business warfare dramas instead?”

“For example, you and I only got married by agreement, with no feelings for each other. And this time, I just want to take advantage of your amnesia to seize the shares in your hands?”

“Shen Qingruan!”

Gu Huaian couldn’t take it anymore, exasperated.

He shot up from his seat, his hand trembling as he pointed at my nose:

“If you love making things up so much, why don’t you become a screenwriter?!”

“Don’t be mad, don’t be mad.”

I smiled and grabbed his slender, well-defined fingers.

My fingertips gently stroked the bulging veins on the back of his hand.

“I’m not making things up anymore, I swear, this time I’m telling the truth.”

“Otherwise… let lightning strike me!”

“Just talk, don’t touch!”

Gu Huaian forcefully pulled his fingers back.

Maybe he used too much strength.

The flush of anger on his face lingered for a long time.

“Actually, the two of us really love each other, so much that if we lost one another, we couldn’t go on living.”

“Tch.”

A cold, mocking laugh sounded in my ear.

I pretended not to hear and continued:

“But maybe it’s just like the old saying-showing off your love leads to a quick demise.”

“See, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and I’m dying soon. When you found out, you were devastated, grief-stricken, and even swore that if I died, you wouldn’t go on living either.”

“That really scared me. So, after your car accident and memory loss, although I was sad, I was more relieved.”

“After all, someone who loves you this much, how could I bear to see you despair and suffer, even seek death for me?”

“…Are you done?”

Gu Huaian curled his lips in disdain.

His face clearly said, “Listening to your nonsense.”

“Wait, let me think, I haven’t figured out the next part of the story yet…”

“Qingruan, are you addicted to making up stories?”

Gu Huaian was so angry he laughed:

“In your eyes, am I that stupid? I’ll believe whatever you say?!”

“I’m not making it up, it’s true, didn’t I just swear!”

I pouted, raising my hand as if taking an oath.

“Heh.”

Gu Huaian looked up expressionlessly, staring straight out the window.

I followed his gaze in confusion.

“What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking…”

His voice was icy cold, each word bitten out through gritted teeth:

“To see when the lightning in the sky will strike down and kill you already!”
