The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Jiang Zhuo speaks very quickly.

It was too late to cover my ears.

Ruan Yang heard it clearly.

Her heart tightened; she didn't know how to react.

Should she continue pretending to be hypnotized, or use this as an opportunity to remember Jiang Zhuo?

But she felt it was good that she didn't remember Jiang Zhuo.

She can openly treat him like a stranger without having to explain to everyone why she has changed her mind.

Even the matter of taking credit for others' work, which had always made her uneasy, she could say she didn't remember.

While Ruan Yang was hesitant and conflicted, Jiang Yanci's mood was far less composed than he appeared.

"What did you say? I don't understand." Ruan Yang's tone was blank. "Xiao Zhuo, this kind of joke isn't funny. I have someone I like, but it's not you."

Jiang Yanci's heart suddenly returned to its original place.

Jiang Zhuo's heart sank. "Why haven't you remembered yet? Your eighteenth birthday wish is still—"

"Uncle Zheng, start the car."

Jiang Yanci interrupted him by speaking and closing the car window.

The driver seemed to have been prepared, and with a throttle, the car sped off, leaving Jiang Zhuo far behind until it disappeared from the rearview mirror.

Jiang Zhuo remained where he was.

Thinking of what Ruan Yang had just said, his legs seemed to freeze.

What do you mean she has someone she likes, but it's not him?

After Ruan Yang forgot him, did she fall in love with someone else?

Jiang Zhuo thought of Ruan Yang's locked WeChat account and became increasingly suspicious.

Jiang Zhuo, who had never experienced hardship in his life, realized the taste of loss for the first time.

This scene was witnessed by the Jiang family's servants.

They whispered among themselves, "What happened between the second young master and Miss Ruan?"

"You broke up, didn't you?"

"That's true, not to be rude, but the second young master went too far yesterday."

"The second young master probably likes Miss Ruan, but he doesn't know how to express it. It's normal for Miss Ruan to like someone else." Aunt Ming sighed. "Actually, the second young master is quite pitiful."

Jiang Zhuo frowned.

He had excellent hearing and could hear the servants' voices even across the garden.

When he heard that the servants actually pitied him, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

When does he need other people's sympathy?

Jiang Zhuo turned around coldly, "I don't like Ruan Yang."

"I only agreed to be Ruan Yang's boyfriend because of a debt of gratitude."

Jiang Zhuo's ideal girl should be passionate, sunny, enjoy extreme sports, and share common interests with him.

Ruan Yang was spoiled and arrogant, and she would only cling to him.

His friends also said that Ruan Yang was not a good match for him.

But since he promised to marry Ruan Yang, he will definitely keep his word.

So he would try to make Ruan Yang remember him.

Otherwise, it would seem as if he were eagerly offering himself up.

Jiang Zhuo's words startled the servants.

Only Ming's wife was quite happy.

—So it turns out the second young master only wanted to marry Miss Ruan because of a debt of gratitude!

The eldest young master likes Miss Ruan, and it would be a wonderful thing for him to marry his savior in place of his younger brother.

Yao Jinzhi, who was about to leave, also heard Jiang Zhuo's honest words.

Her guilt towards Jiang Zhuo for helping her eldest son conceal his marriage also dissipated.

So that's what Xiaozhuo was thinking.

She was still worried about what would happen if Xiao Zhuo found out about Yan Ci and Yang Yang's marriage.

Now it seems that Xiaozhuo might actually feel relieved after finding out.

He resigned from his banquet and got a wife.

Xiao Zhuo is free.

Yangyang is still the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.

All are happy.

It seems we can find a suitable time to tell him the truth.

At that time, Jiang Zhuo was unwilling to accept it.

He was determined to make Ruan Yang remember.

Therefore, he made a special trip to a psychological clinic to learn about hypnosis and memory recovery.

Inside the consultation room, the doctor, wearing a white coat, looked much younger than in the photos.

After hearing Jiang Zhuo's description, his expression turned serious: "It's difficult."

"But it's not that there's no way."

Jiang Zhuo's eyes lit up. "What method?"

The doctor was very patient and professionally pointed to the diagram of the human brain on the table, saying, "The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain. Its main functions include the conversion of short-term memories into long-term memories, spatial memory, learning, and emotion regulation. You can help your girlfriend recover her memories of you by continuously stimulating her hippocampus."

"How to stimulate them?"

"Take drastic measures. What did she dislike most about you before?"

"She was very strict with me. She wouldn't even let me wear sleeveless tops, and she wouldn't let me have any contact with other girls. I had to report to her before I could even say a word. She said that male virtue is the best dowry for a man."

"Fine!" The doctor slammed his hand on the table, startling Jiang Zhuo. "You deliberately talk to girls, deliberately violate male virtues, and repeatedly provoke her. Have you ever heard the saying, 'Hate lasts longer than love'?"

Jiang Zhuo realized!

"Thank you, Dr. Song."

No wonder he has a PhD in psychology from Oxford University.

Jiang Zhuo left satisfied.

He immediately called Qiao Lingling, asking her to go to Xingcan at noon to provoke Ruan Yang.

After Jiang Zhuo left, a figure walked into the consultation room.

Dr. Song frowned as he looked at the mental patient sitting in his seat.

"Bed 34, what are you doing in my office, wearing my clothes?"

On the other side, the Cullinan stopped in front of the Starry Sky.

Watching the young girl get out of the car and leave without any hesitation, Jiang Yanci pulled her into his arms, his thin lips landing on her delicate red earlobe, gently biting it.

"Aren't you curious about what Jiang Zhuo meant by that?"

The car door was still open, and anyone passing by could see a tall man in a suit pressing his petite wife onto his lap under the starry sky.

This scene was far too intimate.

Ruan Yang was afraid of being seen by passing teachers and students, and she tried to push him away in embarrassment, but he hugged her tighter and tighter.

One monkey, one way to tie it. Ruan Yang blushed; now that she understood her older brother's habits, she turned and gently kissed him, whispering, "Why argue with a child?"

Jiang Yanci laughed, "Who's the child?"

"Jiang Zhuo."

You're a few months younger than him.

"But I married you. I'm his sister-in-law, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother to me. To me, he's like a child."

Her answer was utterly naive.

But it seemed to ignite a fire in Jiang Yanci's heart.

Jiang Yanci's prominent Adam's apple bobbed as he pulled her closer, his large, warm palms pressing against her slightly cool abdomen through her satin dress, his voice slightly hoarse.

"He's not a child."

"It is what we give birth to."

Ruan Yang trembled, her slender white neck drooping, and she whispered, "I don't understand what you're saying..."

Little liar, why are you blushing even though you don't understand?

Jiang Yanci did not expose him.

He kissed her pink neck, his voice tinged with laughter: "It's okay if Yangyang doesn't understand, your husband will teach you tonight."

Ruan Yang blushed, pushed Jiang Yanci away, and ran out of the car in her black high heels.

The Cullinan's window rolled down, and Jiang Yanci rested his arm on the window. "I'll pick you up for lunch."
