Forgotten Love - Chapter 6

Gu Huaian at eighteen is really easy to tease.

For several days in a row, every time he saw me, he put on a sullen face.

If it weren’t for that blush on his cheeks giving him away,

I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell if he was angry or just shy.

“Shen Qingruan, later in front of my mom, you’re not allowed to let slip about my car accident or amnesia!”

Once Gu Huaian’s injuries had mostly healed, he couldn’t wait to see his mom.

Two years ago, his mom, nostalgic as she was, insisted on moving back to Gu Huaian’s grandfather’s old house.

We couldn’t talk her out of it, so we could only visit every few days.

The closer we got to the old house, the more nervous Gu Huaian looked.

I couldn’t help teasing him:

“Oh right, you just asked me if there’s anything else you should pay attention to in front of Mom.”

“I thought about it, and I think you should act even closer to me.”

“After all, Mom always teases you, saying your eyes are practically glued to me.”

“…Boring!”

Gu Huaian rolled his eyes at me speechlessly.

But the corners of his lips curled up in a smile he didn’t even notice himself.

When we arrived, it was just in time for lunch.

Looking at the table full of dishes, I couldn’t help but sigh:

“Mom~ Love you! I’ve been eating Auntie’s cooking every day lately, and I’m so tired of it!”

“Eh? Huaian didn’t cook for you?”

Seeing Mom look at Gu Huaian suspiciously,

I screamed inwardly-oh no!

Before, it was always Gu Huaian who cooked delicious food for me.

But after he lost his memory, he reverted to his pampered young master days, not lifting a finger in the kitchen.

He could practically blow up the kitchen just trying to fry an egg.

There was no other way, so I had to hire someone to cook.

“Uh, Mom, I…”

Gu Huaian felt so guilty under Mom’s gaze.

He shot me an anxious look.

My mind spun, and I quickly covered for him:

“Mom, Huaian has been on business trips a lot lately, so I hired an auntie to cook.”

“I see, no wonder you two look like you’ve both lost weight. Eat more, you need to make up for it!”

Mom kept piling food into our bowls.

Gu Huaian took a bite of ribs, and his eyes instantly turned red.

The next second, a stiletto heel stomped hard on his foot.

“Ow! Shen Qingruan, you-!”

“Sorry, hubby, I accidentally stepped on you just now. That must have hurt, right? Look, your eyes are all red…”

I stood up with a look of concern.

With my back to Mom, I frantically shot him looks.

Eat properly, don’t get all emotional!

Gu Huaian immediately fell silent.

He lowered his head, looking defeated.

“Oh my, look at you two, such a loving couple~”

Mom covered her mouth and laughed, then winked at me:

“Ruanruan, when are you two planning to have a baby?”

Before I could react,

a fit of explosive coughing erupted beside me.

“Pfft! Cough, cough cough, cough cough cough…”

Gu Huaian choked badly, his face and neck turning red in an instant.

Our eyes met, and his face seemed to flush even more…

“This child, how can you choke even while eating?”

Seeing Mom about to pour water, I stifled a laugh and got up first:

“Mom, I’ll do it. You help Huaian catch his breath.”
