Free Web NovelChapter 195: Chapter 177: You’ve Lost Your Memory, Right?
"Princess, Princess, are you all right?"
"Hurry and get Dr. Wang! Tell the entire hospital staff to come and help."
"Princess! Princess!"
By the time Yu Lan composed herself, an extremely anxious nurse was standing before her.
If something happened to the Empress at their hospital in broad daylight, no one could bear the responsibility for the aftermath. No wonder they were so panicked.
Yu Lan shook her head, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Her heart felt empty, as if she had forgotten something very important.
Facing the anxious nurse, her expression subconsciously became reassuring.
"I’m fine."
"I probably just didn’t sleep well last night. My head hurts a little."
"I’ll be fine after some rest."
"Are you sure you don’t need any help, Princess?" The nurse still looked at Yu Lan with concern.
"No, I don’t," Yu Lan refused, her tone surprisingly firm.
"I have something to do. I’m leaving now."
For some reason, an intense urgency now gripped Yu Lan’s heart. She couldn’t wait to see Yu Wenzhou.
After all, the man had just taken a bullet for her.
’It’s probably just worry.’
Yu Lan began to convince herself.
She quickly ran up to the hospital’s second floor.
But for some reason, the closer she got to the hospital room, the more nervous she felt.
The more nervous she became, the quieter her footsteps.
This made the conversation inside the room seem even louder.
The words reached Yu Lan’s ears almost completely unobstructed.
"Here’s a billion. Take it and leave Yu Lan."
Yu Lan: ???
’Leave who?’
’Leave her?’
’Since when was I worth that much?’
’Why does that voice sound so familiar?’
’It’s Shen Zueran.’
’So Shen Zueran has this side to him.’
A flash of shock first went through Yu Lan’s mind.
Then, before anyone could react, she placed her hand on the doorknob, ready to open the door.
She twisted the knob, but it wouldn’t open.
It had been locked from the inside.
’What on earth are Shen Zueran, Huo Zhanting, and the others up to these days?’
Yu Lan raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Open up. It’s me, I’m back."
To put it bluntly,
inside the room, Huo Zhanting and the others stared blankly as the doorknob turned.
’How did Lanlan get back so quickly?’
’She didn’t make a sound. Was that on purpose?’
The men on both sides of the standoff had varied expressions.
The instant he heard Yu Lan’s voice, Su Xingye, who was guarding the door, reacted with lightning speed and unlocked it.
When Yu Lan’s beautiful, radiant face came into everyone’s view,
a flicker of guilt appeared on all the men’s faces at once.
After all, trying to secretly use money to get rid of the eighth guy who was trying to climb the ranks while Yu Lan was away, and then getting caught in the act... Even for these favored sons of heaven, who usually had nerves of steel, it was enough to make them panic for a moment.
"Lanlan!"
"Lanlan!"
Shen Zueran’s attempt to explain and Yu Wenzhou’s call rang out at the same time.
Yu Wenzhou spoke first, struggling to sit up in the hospital bed.
"I know you don’t want to see me."
"Now that you have more powerful and distinguished Beast Husbands, of course you look down on me."
"But you don’t have to have your Beast Husbands use money to humiliate me."
"I saved you of my own free will. Even if you don’t like me anymore, I will never forget the bond we once shared."
"I will always support you from the shadows."
What?!!!
’What is all this nonsense?’
Li Yucheng, Jun Lin Yuan, and Pei Shiyi’s brows furrowed instantly.
He had barely met Lanlan twice. How could any kind of bond have possibly formed?
’It’s pure wishful thinking.’
Sheng Yiyuan was already itching to throw the man out.
The fox-like youth was eager to make a move.
That is, until Yu Lan’s voice cut in, laced with confusion as she looked at him with a lost expression on her pretty face.
"Do we know each other?"
The moment after Yu Wenzhou had finished speaking,
Yu Lan had quickly searched her memory.
She really couldn’t find any memory of him other than their meeting at the concert.
’Such a brilliant and unique man.’
Yu Lan swore to herself that if she had met him before, she would definitely remember.
So, Yu Lan pursed her lips and ventured a question.
"Did you mistake me for someone else?"
"If you have her detailed information, maybe we can help you find her."
"But we’d have to get her permission before we could give you her information."
Yu Lan’s pretty face was full of earnest seriousness.
She never expected that making such a promise
would only make Yu Wenzhou’s mood sink even lower.
The pale, weak-looking man shook his head in front of everyone.
He propped up his ailing body and got out of the hospital bed.
"You’re right."
"I was looking for the wrong person."
"It’s fine. Since she doesn’t need me now, I won’t be a nuisance by showing up in front of her anymore."
"I’ll leave right now."
After speaking, Yu Wenzhou started gathering his things to leave.
It was only then that Yu Lan noticed that this man, who seemed so tall, was actually incredibly gaunt.
Right now, he looked as if he might shatter at any moment.
His face was so pale it was almost translucent.
Because he had been rushed to the hospital, Yu Wenzhou had very few belongings.
Even if he wanted to take longer packing to spend a little more time with Yu Lan, he couldn’t.
Clutching the necklace he always wore and never took off, Yu Wenzhou pursed his lips.
"I’m leaving now."
"Thank you for bringing me to the hospital, Princess. I’ll transfer the money for the treatment costs to you as soon as possible."
"Don’t."
Yu Lan quickly refused.
For some reason, seeing Yu Wenzhou like this, a pang of heartache inexplicably rose in her chest.
Her heart felt as if a huge gash had been torn open, with wind howling through it.
At that moment,
as he brushed past Yu Lan,
Yu Wenzhou suddenly let out a violent, painful-sounding cough, as if he couldn’t bear it any longer.
His gaunt body trembled before her.
She finally couldn’t take it anymore.
An inexplicable wave of anger surged within her, and she suddenly grabbed Yu Wenzhou’s hand.
"You’re still injured. Where do you think you’re going?"
"You’re not allowed to leave."
"You will stay right here in the hospital and rest."
"We’ll talk about everything else after you’ve recovered."
Yu Lan’s hand, stopping Yu Wenzhou from leaving, was gripping his arm.
But for some unknown reason,
the necklace that Yu Wenzhou had been holding so preciously slipped from his grasp, falling to the floor with a CLATTER.
It was a locket-style necklace, and a flash of familiarity went through Yu Lan’s eyes.
She inexplicably knew that some couples, deep in the throes of passion, would put a photo of themselves together inside.
He was a male with lightning-fast reflexes.
It was just a dropped necklace; he could have easily caught it and stopped its fall.
But for some reason, Yu Wenzhou didn’t move.
He let it fall to the ground.
It made a crisp SNAP.
The ancient necklace broke clean in two.
Revealing a photo of Yu Lan and Yu Wenzhou kissing inside!
