Hearing Jing Sichen suddenly raise his voice, Lin Lulu calmed her breathing and a very cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Lulu." Jing Sichen took a deep breath. "My name is Lan Ye."

"Blue Night..." Lin Lulu's eyes dimmed. "I know."

Looking into Lin Lulu's heartbroken eyes, Jing Sichen felt a suffocating pain in his heart and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Does his insistence on distancing himself from Jing Sichen make her feel uncomfortable?

"Mr. Lan," Yan Moshen spoke up at this moment, "I think you probably know something about what happened to Lulu before. So, since you know, and you know you're not involved, shouldn't you avoid suspicion? It's not necessary to personally deliver breakfast for work-related matters."

Jing Sichen glared at Yan Moshen. "Then who are you to Lulu? As Lulu's future business partner, what's wrong with me seeing her far away abroad, unfamiliar with the place and the people?"

"Of course not!" Yan Moshen said without hesitation, "It would invite gossip."

"Then Mr. Yan need not worry," Jing Sichen said coldly. "I am not engaged to anyone, and even if I wanted to pursue Lulu, no one could stop me from showing her any affection!"

Hearing Jing Sichen's possessive words, Lin Lulu was momentarily speechless.

Her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding with excitement.

She knew perfectly well that there was no future for them.

"You two get out," Lin Lulu said, pushing them out. "I've accepted breakfast. I don't plan to eat lunch or dinner with you for now, so please don't bother me!"

"Lulu!" Yan Moshen protested, "You can just send him away! Why are you sending me away? I flew here specifically to take care of you."

Jing Sichen refused to back down and quickly said, "Lulu, you flew here specifically to talk to me about business. How can you turn me away? The Lin Lulu I've heard of isn't someone who mixes business with personal matters like you!"

Lin Lulu rolled her eyes at Jing Sichen, then looked at Yan Moshen and said, "Uncle, I want to sleep in for another day. I'll come find you tomorrow after I wake up!"

Then, he closed the door.

Outside the door, both men wore sorrowful expressions.

Jing Sichen was heartbroken because Lin Lulu wouldn't even say a word to him.

He no longer cared about his past relationship with Lin Lulu's ex-husband; all he knew was that he was truly attracted to her and wanted to understand and get closer to her.

But she didn't give him a chance.

He even felt that she might never give him a chance.

As for Mo Shen, although he received an explanation from Lin Lulu, he could tell that Lin Lulu still regarded him as a friend to whom she owed a lot of favors. Five years of companionship had not left any ripples in her heart.

But Jing Sichen is different.

Whether it's the one in front of her or the one from before, they all easily made Lin Lulu surrender.

At this moment, the two men actually began to envy each other.

"Mr. Yan, how about we go for a walk?" Jing Sichen took the initiative to invite me. "I think you probably have something you want to say to me as well."

Of course, he didn't really want to talk to Yan Moshen about anything.

However, although people were sent to investigate Lin Lulu's past, it was ultimately concealed.

The quickest way for him to find out what he wanted to know was to get information from his rival.

Yan Moshen glanced at Jing Sichen. Rather than letting him keep appearing here and bothering Lin Lulu, it would be better to keep him occupied.

Nobody is allowed here.

This can also be considered a form of fair competition.

In the presidential suite, Lin Lulu looked at the breakfast spread on the table, then at Qin Duanduan who had secretly opened the door and walked out. Meeting her probing eyes, she sat down on the sofa with a dejected expression.

"This Mr. Lan is something else! Rumor has it he's always been decisive and efficient in business, but I never expected him to be the same way when it comes to relationships!" Qin Duanduan said. "How about it? Tempted? But is he really Jing Sichen? Has he lost his memory? Or does he have a twin brother?"

"It is him." Lin Lulu said in a deep voice, "I've been through so much with him, and there were times when he was right beside me but I wasn't sure it was him. Now, I can tell that he is Jing Sichen."

"Ah!" Qin Duanduan's mouth gaped open in surprise.

After a long pause, I finally realized what was happening and asked again, "Have you thought it through? What are you going to do?"

"Duanduan." Lin Lulu closed her eyes and lay down on the sofa. "So much breakfast, and you still can't shut up? Or should I get you another room on the outer ring road?"

"No, no, no! I'll eat! I'll eat! I'll stay here! This bed is so soft! It's so comfortable! Money really makes a difference!"

With that, Qin Duanduan gave Lin Lulu a big smile, and then began to savor the food.

Having such a charming best friend is truly wonderful!

Lin Lulu lay on the sofa, her mind filled with memories of her time with Jing Sichen. Even after all these years, she still couldn't forget him.

I vaguely heard Qin Duanduan say she was going out to play, and then I heard the door close.

But not long after, a noisy sound was heard.

When Lin Lulu opened her eyes, she saw an old man she had never seen before.

"I'm sorry for coming uninvited. I rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one answered, so I broke in," Grandpa Lan said. "I'm A-Ye's grandfather, you can call me that too."

Lin Lulu quickly sat up and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Lan."

"I'm about the same age as your grandfather," Grandpa Lan said. "Although I've never met him, he must be a very fortunate person to have such an outstanding granddaughter like you."

Lin Lulu clenched her fists.

She wondered if Grandpa Lan had come to give her a check and let her leave.

Given her current wealth, I wonder how much of a check would be enough to give her.

"You and Ah Ye can discuss company matters. I trust your professional ethics and believe you won't do anything because of your personal relationship," Grandpa Lan said.

Lin Lulu looked at Grandpa Lan, "What's your relationship like behind the scenes?"

"You're certain, aren't you? You're sure he's Jing Sichen," Grandpa Lan said. "That's right, he is Jing Sichen."

Upon hearing this news, Lin Lulu's eyes showed little joy.

She simply asked, "What's wrong with him? Is he really suffering from amnesia? Or... is he doing it on purpose?"

"Back then, when I found out he was my long-lost grandson, I wanted him to come back, but he refused. He wanted to protect you in his own way, to avenge his adoptive parents. To be precise, it was also one of his ways to protect you. Because he was worried that your adoptive parents would take advantage of your kindness to hurt you," Grandpa Lan said. "Later, he was critically injured. After I rescued him, he locked himself in his room for six months. During those six months, his phone was filled with messages about you. He was like a madman, afraid to see you, yet longing to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lulu felt a lump in her throat.

She could imagine Jing Sichen's state at that time.

Because she had gone through the same thing.

"He asked me to find a doctor to erase his memories and then implant new ones," Grandpa Lan continued to explain. "I tried to persuade him to go back to you, but he refused and insisted on doing it. He said he had hurt you too much and no longer had the confidence to give you a happy future."

Lin Lulu stared at Grandpa Lan in shock. "No way! Impossible!"

She could accept Jing Sichen's amnesia, and she could also accept that he wanted to leave her.

But how could he willingly erase everything between them?

This was a fact that hurt her even more than betrayal.

"Why should he?" Lin Lulu clenched her fists. "Why should he choose to forget me? When I was going crazy thinking about him, why should he forget me?"

"This is what A-Ye told me," Grandpa Lan said, taking out a recording pen. "He's hiding in this country, so the chances of him meeting you are practically nonexistent. I tried to stop him from cooperating with the Jing family, but he set his sights on you two. I knew you two would eventually meet."

Lin Lulu shook her head; she couldn't believe it was all real.

"He recorded this before he decided to erase his memories. He knows you too well. If you find him, you will never give up. But if you know that he was the one who deliberately erased his memories, you will hate him and never give him another chance." Grandpa Lan sighed. "Take it! Just pretend that Jing Sichen is dead. The one who is alive now is Aye."

Lin Lulu clutched her chest, turned on the recorder, and listened to the voice inside—the voice she had been longing for day and night.

"Lulu, let go! I've erased my memories of you, and you can erase mine too. Come to think of it, I've always been the one hurting you. You don't need to waste any more time on me. Goodbye."

"How could he..." Lin Lulu burst into tears. "How could he arrange things for me like this?"

"I'm just following his instructions," Grandpa Lan said. "He asked me to give this to you if he was attracted to you after we met. Miss Lin, now that you know the whole truth, if you're willing to forgive him, I don't mind keeping this secret and letting you two be together. But if you're not willing to forgive him, I believe you know what to do."

Looking at Grandpa Lan, Lin Lulu didn't know whether to mock him or feel wronged.

Jing Sichen!

Ah!

Jing Sichen!

"Jing Sichen is dead." Lin Lulu's nails dug into her flesh. "He's no longer in this world!"

Seeing Lin Lulu's resolute expression, Grandpa Lan sighed deeply.

"I understand, thank you for your time. Goodbye, Miss Lin." Then, she stood up and strode away.

When they reached the door, Grandpa Lan stopped again.

"I hope you don't hate him. Remember that time he went through a lot of pain. After his memory was altered, he actually started to live a normal life again." After saying that, Grandpa Lan took another long stride.

Lin Lulu clenched her fists, unable to control herself any longer, and swept all the breakfast on the table onto the floor.

pain?

Who isn't in pain?

He hid so well, leaving her to endure the pain of losing him after already suffering so much.

He's really...reckless and willful to act so recklessly!

"Jing Sichen!" she roared in anguish, crying, "I hate you... I hate you!"

**

When Qin Duanduan returned, she saw Lin Lulu wearing a long dress and dressed very beautifully, but her eyes were red and she looked sad.

"What's wrong?" Qin Duanduan asked quickly, "What...did something happen to you?"

"Going to a bar?" Lin Lulu sighed in relief. "On a day like this, with such nice weather and a good mood, it's time to let loose, find a young heartthrob, and have some fun, right?"

Qin Duanduan was so frightened she almost coughed up blood.

She sensed something was wrong, so she quickly changed her clothes and stayed close to Lin Lulu.

The night is ambiguous.

In the pool of wine, Lin Lulu swayed her silvery waist, attracting the attention of all the men present.

People would occasionally walk up to her, wanting to dance with her, but Qin Duanduan would fiercely rebuke them all.

Lin Lulu found it amusing to see Qin Duanduan protecting her.

Why?

Why is everyone so protective of her, saying that she had such a difficult past and they want to give her a happy future?

But then, Jing Sichen…

He stabbed her in the heart time and time again.

And yet, she foolishly forgave him time and time again, and even kept waiting for him.

Stupid!

How stupid!

Stupid!

As she danced, tears streamed down her face.

She could only lower her head, not daring to let others see her crying.

Even if she cried out loud, no one would hear her in a place like this!

At that moment, she felt a tight force on her wrist. She looked up and saw Jing Sichen standing in front of her, his face full of anger.

Jing Sichen was stunned for a moment, and his anger instantly subsided.

Lin Lulu, standing before us, had tears streaming down her face, a sight that evoked pity, sorrow, and heartache.

"Lulu..." he called her name softly, "Don't cry..."

He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but as soon as he reached out, she pushed his hand away and took a few steps back, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

"Come home with me!" Jing Sichen practically roared. "You shouldn't be here!"

"Why should I?" she yelled back, "What? Can you restrict my personal freedom? Or are you planning to clear this place out? Ha! Why should I? Why are you being so selfish?"

"Lulu..." Jing Sichen frowned, "What's wrong with you..."

Then, without saying a word, he took off his clothes, wrapped them around Lin Lulu, picked her up, and carried her out of the bar.

"Duanduan!" Lin Lulu shouted, "Protect me!"

Qin Duanduan obeyed the order, blocked Jing Sichen, and said, "Excuse me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to snatch Lin Lulu.

Jing Sichen hadn't expected Qin Duanduan to know martial arts, so he couldn't get entangled with her any longer. He could only retreat while dodging, forcibly taking Lin Lulu away.

"Mr. Lan!" Lin Lulu bit Jing Sichen's shoulder. "Let go!"

Jing Sichen glanced around, put Lin Lulu into the car, and said angrily, "If you're resentful or unhappy, I'll go with you no matter what you want to do! That kind of place isn't suitable for you!"

"That kind of place?" Lin Lulu laughed. "Why wouldn't it be suitable? My husband has been dead for years. Now, it's time to find someone!"

She glared at him, clearly in a provocation.

"Okay! You want to find someone, right? Then find me!" After saying that, Jing Sichen lowered his body and forcefully kissed Lin Lulu.
