Chapter 22 part 2

However, at this moment, Xia Shutong couldn’t help but feel that her sorrow was genuine.

“Since we weren’t that familiar…” Xia Shutong’s complexion turned anxious, her voice growing weaker, “Then why did you deceive me by going to the restroom alone on the day we signed the contract… Why did you come to my room in just a nightgown earlier? Don’t, don’t try to placate me with excuses like having just taken a shower. I might have lost my memory, but I’m not foolish.”

“Because, I like you, Miss Xia,” Yun Feiwu also took a step back, entering her own room, her grip on the doorknob tightening.

“I like you and wanted to pursue you, so I did some things… things that might have made you unhappy, things you couldn’t accept. Since you don’t like it, I won’t do them anymore.”

In this world, no one knew each other better than they did.

Yun Feiwu almost couldn’t resist, wanting to tell Xia Shutong everything.

However, she saw the confusion and fear on Xia Shutong’s face.

Her actions had already startled Xia Shutong. If she were to reveal all of this, how would Xia Shutong react?

Xia Shutong with amnesia was even more fragile than before, as if she might shatter at the slightest touch.

Yun Feiwu dared not take any more risks.

She had to proceed cautiously, like navigating a boat with closed eyes on an endless sea, where the slightest misstep could lead to being engulfed and swallowed by the waves.

…

Xia Shutong stood by the balcony, momentarily dazed and unresponsive.

It wasn’t until a cold breeze swept in, that Xia Shutong returned to her room, locking the balcony door and sitting back on the bed, lost in thought.

Yun Feiwu liked her? Wanted to pursue her?

It actually seemed to make sense.

Yes, why hadn’t she considered this possibility before?

Yun Feiwu’s smiles, her various enticing gestures – they could very well be attributed to Yun Feiwu’s genuine fondness for her, rather than any improper relationship.

As for why Yun Feiwu would like her, that was a question for her before she have an amnesia.

Although Xia Shutong hadn’t fully regained her memories, after all these days of waking up, she believed she had a reasonable understanding of her past self.

Cold-blooded, twisted, and ruthless, she wouldn’t tolerate even a hint of mistreatment. She would exact revenge a thousandfold against anyone who crossed her.

How could someone with such a malicious personality find themselves at a disadvantage in matters of the heart?

Therefore, Xia Shutong speculated that her past self had likely intentionally enticed Yun Feiwu’s affection, playing the game of push and pull, always in a dominant position, leading Yun Feiwu to become infatuated and ultimately even lowering herself to join their company.

That’s why Yun Feiwu had engaged in various illogical actions.

Things like pressing against the restroom wall, coming to Xia Shutong’s room late at night in sleepwear – if it had been the previous Xia Shutong, she would probably have engaged in flirtatious play while simultaneously finding excuses to push her back.

No wonder Yun Feiwu’s voice just now sounded so sad.

Thinking like this, Yun Feiwu seems quite miserable.

Xia Shutong’s head buzzed again. She raised her hand to press her forehead, but couldn’t conceal her irritated expression.

She used to be a genuine scoundrel.

But what could she do? Could she travel back in time and give herself a slap?

All she could do was keep her distance from Yun Feiwu, treat the young girl kindly, naturally help her let go of this emotion, and eventually restore a normal working relationship.

The sky was already very late. Xia Shutong, feeling a bit nervous, checked if the balcony door was locked properly before returning to bed to sleep.

However, she had barely closed her eyes when the phone rang.

Xia Shutong had already felt drowsy, but upon seeing the caller’s ID, she immediately became wide awake.

It was a call from Grandfather Xia.

Before retiring, Grandfather Xia was undoubtedly the patriarch of the Xia family. Even after retiring a decade or so ago, he still exerted hidden control over many decisions within the company.

While the younger generation of the Xia family might vie for power, no matter how intense the competition, it all happened under the watchful eye of Grandfather Xia.

Since her amnesia, Xia Shutong had only sent a few messages to Grandfather Xia on WeChat to let him know she was safe. The total chat log didn’t exceed five sentences. Now, with Grandfather Xia suddenly calling, how could she not feel anxious?

But Xia Shutong quickly answered the call.

She remembered what Qian Lingling had said – that she deeply respected Grandfather Xia before her memory loss. Unless her phone wasn’t within reach, she would always answer his call promptly.

Gripping the phone tightly, Xia Shutong nervously brought it to her ear: “Grandfather.”

From the other end of the line came a few gentle laughs, tinged with age:

“Is Tongtong busy?”

Grandfather Xia’s voice was warm, more like a benevolent elder caring for his granddaughter than the ruthless business magnate who controlled the entire Xia family enterprise.

Xia Shutong’s tense arm gradually relaxed as she began to exchange pleasantries with Grandfather Xia.
