Chapter 197: Chapter 179: Bestowing a Main Husband
"Amnesia!"
Yu Lan’s eyes widened slightly. She clearly hadn’t considered this possibility.
Even Shen Zueran and Huo Zhanting, who had been standing behind her and quietly observing, grew serious.
But upon further thought, they had to admit that what Yu Wenzhou said was right.
They had all just seen that photo of them kissing.
In it, Yu Lan was standing next to Yu Wenzhou, the natural ease and faint joy in her eyes so striking it made one jealous.
Their bond must have been incredibly deep to produce such a look.
Thinking of this, a deep sense of jealousy rose in their hearts instead.
It was a part of Yu Lan’s past they had never been able to share.
She, too, had once been deeply and passionately in love with another male.
From what Huo Zhanting and the others knew of Yu Lan, if it weren’t for this inexplicable amnesia, they might never have had the chance to be by her side.
’The unique favor of a beautiful and kind Female Master... It’s enough to make anyone jealous!’
’Thank goodness Yu Lan lost her memory.’
The same thought flashed through their minds simultaneously, and they silently became more wary of Yu Wenzhou.
’This man is definitely not to be trifled with.’
Inside the hospital room, Yu Wenzhou’s voice slowly rang out.
"Have you forgotten? You were the one who came on to me first."
"Back then, I was also living in the orphanage, but because my Level was too low, I couldn’t always control my beast form."
"Like this."
As Yu Wenzhou finished speaking, a pair of soft, fluffy rabbit ears suddenly sprouted from the top of the white-haired young man’s head.
The furry tips of the ears quivered in the air.
They twitched and trembled, as if inviting someone to reach out and pinch them.
Yu Wenzhou glanced down at Yu Lan, seeing right through her little impulse.
He simply took her small hand and placed it on his ear. His clear, melodious voice, tinged with a faint smile, rang out.
"You were just like this back then."
"You reached right out, touched my ears, and called me your little rabbit."
"You said you wanted to take care of me."
"And be good to me for the rest of your life."
The first parts were true.
As for the rest, that was just Yu Wenzhou taking advantage of Yu Lan’s amnesia and her inability to remember anything, fabricating things as he pleased.
In any case, Yu Lan had indeed made such a promise in the end.
As Yu Wenzhou said more and more, Yu Lan’s face grew redder, while the faces of Huo Zhanting and the others grew darker.
They simply didn’t dare to think too deeply about it.
A male this cunning and capable by Yu Lan’s side, with the added advantage of their bond as childhood sweethearts...
If not for her amnesia, even if they gave it their all, they probably wouldn’t have been able to even get close to the young female.
’Thank goodness for the amnesia!’
’What’s so bad about this amnesia?!’
’This amnesia is wonderful!’
Just as the men were about to say something to separate Yu Lan and Yu Wenzhou, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
They were fast, as if the person was afraid of missing something.
The next second, the barely-closed door was pushed open.
Queen Belina’s figure appeared before them.
The atmosphere in the hospital room at that moment was utterly bizarre.
Yu Wenzhou was in a partial beast form, and Yu Lan’s hand was resting gently on his ear, creating a scene of ambiguous intimacy.
Behind them, Huo Zhanting and the others watched with resentful, gloomy gazes.
"What are you all...?"
Even the worldly Belina was at a rare loss for words, unsure how to proceed with her agenda.
「Ten minutes later.」
After Yu Lan quickly explained the whole situation to Belina, Yu Wenzhou was once again lying obediently in the hospital bed, his gaze fixed gently on Yu Lan the entire time.
Occasionally, when no one was looking, he would secretly shoot Belina a look, asking for help.
For some reason, Belina had the strange feeling that she was being manipulated.
But the atmosphere at that moment was just too perfect.
Everything was falling into place so perfectly.
It was the perfect, logical opportunity to place Yu Wenzhou by Yu Lan’s side without arousing any suspicion.
’Besides, I have the poison in hand. I refuse to believe Yu Wenzhou isn’t afraid of death.’
"In that case, I shall issue a decree for your marriage."
"Yu Wenzhou and you have a past connection, and now he’s been injured protecting you. Lanlan," Louisa said, reaching out to place her hand on the back of Yu Lan’s.
"You must treat him well."
"He came all this way from the Garbage Star looking for you. It wasn’t easy for him to get to where he is today."
"Even if his Level is a little low, you absolutely mustn’t look down on him."
Compared to the SSS-level, High-level males like Huo Zhanting and the others, Yu Wenzhou’s C-level was indeed very low.
But being low had its advantages.
At the very least, Yu Wenzhou had a unique advantage when it came to making others lower their guard.
The sudden marriage decree completely shattered the composure of Huo Zhanting and the others.
Even Yu Lan hadn’t expected it. Her lips parted, and she let out a gasp of surprise.
"Ah!"
"Isn’t this... a little too fast?"
"You consider this fast?" Belina retorted.
She only wished it could be even faster.
"You and Yu Wenzhou already have a bond from your youth. I imagine you already established your status back on the Garbage Star."
"If we’re really going by first come, first served, then Yu Wenzhou is your true main husband."
BOOM!
Belina’s words struck everyone like a clap of thunder.
Everyone stared at Yu Wenzhou in disbelief.
They never imagined that the position of main husband, which they coveted so much, would be bestowed upon him just like that.
’Seriously? The early bird gets the worm, fine, but now he wants to walk away with the whole prize? Why does Yu Wenzhou get to have all the good stuff?’
Pei Shiyi was so jealous his face was turning green.
Even the calm and restrained Shen Zueran and the powerful and indifferent Huo Zhanting felt a strange twinge upon hearing Belina was about to give the position of Yu Lan’s main husband to Yu Wenzhou.
But the men were smart enough not to show it.
Right now, Belina wasn’t the most important person here.
Yu Lan’s opinion was.
And as for Yu Lan, no one knew better than her about the overt and covert struggles among the men behind her for the position of main husband.
But if she had to choose herself, she wouldn’t be able to make a decision, no matter who it was.
’As for Yu Wenzhou...!’
His name began to surface in Yu Lan’s mind.
Her pensive expression alarmed the men. Lying in the hospital bed, Yu Wenzhou lowered his eyes.
He suddenly reached out and, under the fiery glares of the others, placed his hand on the back of hers, persuading her in a gentle voice:
"Lanlan, don’t rush."
"We can take our time with this."
As he spoke, Yu Lan’s expression predictably softened.
She reached out, turning her hand over to cover the back of his. Her voice was filled with a touch of tenderness:
"Thank you for understanding."
"I’m so sorry I forgot you."
"You’ve suffered all this time."
Yu Lan thought, ’If the person I’d promised my life to when we were young suddenly got amnesia, forgot me, and even found other partners...’
’I’d definitely explode with anger.’
’It’s really wonderful that Yu Wenzhou can forgive me.’
Yu Wenzhou smiled, his Ruby-like eyes softening into a warm pool as he said:
"It’s alright. Status and position don’t matter."
"As long as I’m always your favorite little rabbit."
’Damn!’
’How is this guy so smooth?!’
’He must have been a seductive fox spirit in a past life.’
In the air, it was as if Huo Zhanting and the others could hear the score for "main husband" ticking up: +1, +1, +10086.
They couldn’t compete. They couldn’t compete at all!
