It turned out the calls were from Lu Jinye. Was he insane? Why had he called her so late at night? After
discussing the next day’s tour with the tour guide, Mu Zhi returned to her room and fell asleep.
The next morning. Eric was caught up with other matters, so he did not go to the hotel entrance with Mu
Zhi. Mu Zhi would be joining the tour alone.
When Mu Zhi had met with Yan Shu, Yan Shu brought Mu Zhi to her car straightaway. She wanted to
give Mu Zhi an overview of the city.
They drove around the city. Mu Zhi looked at the scenery from the car window. Huddles of buildings in
the city center were surrounded by the mountains and the sea in a distance, forming a magnificent view.
Although the sea did not seem different from the other seas she had seen, and the mountains not
distinctive, she couldn’t explain why, but everything she saw here gave her an unusual feeling.
At this moment, Yan Shu turned to Mu Zhi and asked softly, “Mu Zhi, how did you and your husband
meet?”
Mu Zhi considered for a moment before saying, “We were childhood sweethearts.”
This was what Xie Xiu had answered her so naturally, she thought that it was how both of them had met.
“Since you and your husband were childhood sweethearts, there shouldn’t be any turbulence in your
relationship, isn’t it?”
Mu Zhi did not know how to answer her question. Was there any turbulence?
She had lost her memory, so she could not live a normal married life with Xie Xiu.
However, this was not something she could tell others.
So, she could only answer, “I guess so.”

Yan Shu did not ask further questions. She continued to drive the car along the city’s outskirts, showing
her the distant mountains and the sea. Finally at noon, the car slowly entered a villa compound.
Yan Shu explained to Mu Zhi as she drove, “Since our next destination is near my friend’s house, we can
have lunch there and then continue the tour in the afternoon.”
As she was explaining, she parked her car in front of a villa.
This villa had a very different design from Xie Xiu’s villa.
The design of Xie Xiu’s villa could be described as orderly and imposing with impersonal decorations.
The colors were limited to black, white, and grey.
Meanwhile, the villa before her was much larger than any other villas in the surrounding and its
compound was well decorated to reflect the owner’s good taste.
She followed Yan Shu into the compound and observed around her. There was a pavilion for tea
drinking, a pond in the distance with fishes in them, and a back garden fully planted with roses.
“Alright, let’s go in.”
Yan Shu seemed to be very familiar with this place. She entered the password and entered. When Mu
Zhi had entered the villa, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and sadness.
When she sat down with Yan Shu at the dining table, the feeling of sadness intensified.
At this moment, the servants placed a few dishes on the table and arranged them nicely before Mu Zhi
and Yan Shu.
Yan Shu gave Mu Zhi a pair of chopsticks, “Alright, let’s taste the food. Let me know if you like them.”
Mu Zhi was frozen for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand.
Then she said to Yan Shu, “May I have a fork?”
Yan Shu didn’t object and let someone bring it to her.
When she received the fork, Mu Zhi held it in her hand and looked at the dishes before her. She was
unsure of where to start and how to eat them.
All the fish and meat were sliced into thin strips while the squirrel fish did not seem suitable to be eaten
with a fork. At last, she aimed her fork at the moo shu pork. But when the fork touched the dish, she
stopped suddenly. She turned to Yan Shu and asked, “Is your friend not here?”
“I think my friend does not want to dine with others. Nowadays, he is used to dining alone.”
“Is he a recluse?”
Mu Zhi frowned, “Are we disturbing him by being here? Should I go and say hello?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was unsure of the custom here. She was considering whether she should have gone over to greet
him.
“That’s not necessary. Let him be by himself in peace. He is probably in his wife’s room reminiscing
about her.”
This was not the first time Yan Shu mentioned the wife.
So, Mu Zhi picked on it and asked, “What happened to his wife?”
At her question, a smile appeared on Yan Shu’s face as she said, “His wife was missing.”
“His wife was a doctor. When they met, a tragedy had struck her family, and she was in despair. Both of
them stayed together for a few years and thought that it was just an act. Later, when they had decided to
separate, they both realized that it was true love.”
“What happened after that?”
Mu Zhi asked curiously.
Yan Shu placed a piece of the squirrel fish in her place. She then demonstrated how to use the
chopsticks to Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi had never tried to learn to use the chopsticks, but she heard that it was challenging to learn.
Surprisingly, she knew how to use them after watching Yan Shu once and brought the slice of fish to her
mouth.
The flesh was fluffy and melted in her mouth, while the crust was crispy with a sweet and sour taste. It
was unexpectedly delicious.
The taste made her happy.
Yan Shu observed her reaction before continuing, “Later when they were in love, the woman went
missing. She was kidnapped and had never come back after that. The man waited her for a long time,
but she had never returned. However, just when he was about to give up, a woman who looked like her
suddenly appeared in his life.”
Yan Shu had stopped what she was doing.
She looked at Mu Zhi closely for her reaction with bated breath.
“Chase her. Maybe the woman was her, if not perhaps fate had brought her to him,” Mu Zhi said
excitedly
She was looking at Yan Shu earnestly as she spoke.
Yan Shu looked back at her and asked, “Have you heard this story before? Does it feel familiar to you?”
Mu Zhi froze at her question.
It felt familiar.
She felt grief as she was listening to the story.
But she did not know if it was because the story was sad or it was something else.
At this moment, there were sounds of footsteps from the staircase. It was a man descending the stairs
slowly.
He was dressed casually, but the clothes could not hide the elegance and authority emanating from him.
Moreover, his eyes were focused entirely on her!
