Chapter 437: Chapter 436: You said you want to have a bunch of kids with me... (Chapter 435 and 436 Combined)
Could it be that he was attacked inside?
As soon as this thought appeared, Ning Mo suddenly felt terrible.
Yang Zi still ignored her, and she bit her lip and rushed inside. She moved so fast that by the time Yang Zi tried to stop her, she had already run in.
Yang Zi: "..."
Soon, Ning Mo ran out and asked Yang Zi in confusion, "What did you see just now?"
"There’s no one inside."
Ning Mo became even more puzzled, "Then why were you clutching your chest?"
Yang Zi really wanted to roll his eyes, but being mindful of his idol image, he certainly wouldn’t do that. So, he shifted his gaze in another direction, "You bumped into me."
Ning Mo looked at him incredulously, "I bumped you?"
After Yang Zi nodded, Ning Mo finally remembered that she had bumped into him when she rushed in. Could it have been then?
About to say something, Yang Zi suddenly lowered his hand, his expression returning to being emotionless, even his voice sounded cold, "Didn’t you say that someone was going to harm Xiao Qing? There’s no one inside, how can I believe your words?"
Ning Mo’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.
The atmosphere of their interaction just now was so natural, it made her feel like they had always interacted like this, but with Yang Zi’s words, Ning Mo realized she had thought too much.
"Yang Zi, I’m not lying to you, it’s true—they said they are going to send Xiao Qing to..."
Ning Mo could no longer continue, she also couldn’t continue.
The words man, and bed, were the origin of their separation, mentioning it more was like digging into her own wound again.
Yang Zi looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with complex emotions, however, Ning Mo only saw a look of disappointment...
He still left, just left her there and walked away.
Ning Mo wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn’t come.
She hated herself, hating why she had trusted Ning Qian, thus allowing her schemes to succeed, even though nothing had happened between herself and that man, but Yang Zi had seen her lying in the same bed with that man.
How could she explain?
Since she couldn’t explain, let it be for this lifetime~

In the room, Lu Jinyang carried Xiao Qing in and laid her on the soft bed.
He leaned over her, but Xiao Qing stopped him, "You still want....." to?
The man’s eyes were unfathomably deep, upon hearing her words, he chuckled lowly, "Yes, what should I do?"
Xiao Qing glared at him irritably, "Know when to stop, Mr. Lu. I don’t remember anything about our past, for all I know you might be deceiving me."
Lu Jinyang laughed, shifted to lie beside her, and after a moment of silence, she cuddled against him finding a comfortable position to lie in.
She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but since that incident, she felt that there had been some subtle changes in their interactions.
"It’s okay, I will make you remember everything eventually."
As long as you are by my side, as long as you can fall in love with me again, those are not problems.
"What if... what if I can’t remember for the rest of my life?"
Lu Jinyang lowered his head to kiss her forehead, "That’s quite alright."
Xiao Qing said nothing.
She clearly remembered her diagnosis, which stated a zero percent chance of recovery, meaning she might never remember her past for the rest of her life.
"What are you thinking?"
Xiao Qing left his embrace, looking up at him, "Lu Jinyang, I have a question I want to ask you."
The man pulled her back into his arms, "Speak."
"Well, that... never mind, it’s nothing." Xiao Qing initially wanted to ask him about the will, but then she thought it might be too sentimental and thus refrained from speaking.
"Ask whatever you want to ask, I’ll definitely tell you."
A mischievous smile spread across Xiao Qing’s lips, her hands wrapped around his waist, "I’m just curious, did you really not touch any woman in these five years? Can you tell me how you survived?"
As the words fell, the room descended into a deathly silence.
A few seconds later, the large room echoed with Xiao Qing’s screams of surprise and pleas for mercy, along with the man’s gritted voice: "Woman, you’ve reminded me!"
Bringing up the exact thing that should not have been mentioned, could this woman actually dare to ask him that question?
Since she had brought it up, he was not embarrassed either, directly demanding from her what she owed him for the past five years.
...
The next day
The incident at the New City Entertainment Company’s banquet wasn’t reported, as if the events of last night had never happened.
On the way back to the Lu Mansion, Xiao Qing leaned her head on one hand and silently scrolled through her phone, dark circles evident under her eyes, clearly not having slept well the night before.
"Lu Jinyang, it was you who suppressed the incident last night, right?"
"Hm? No."
Xiao Qing was slightly surprised, "Not you?"
"Hm." With such an incident, the hotel’s owner couldn’t escape responsibility. If they still wanted to continue operating in City B, they would definitely try their best to suppress the news of last night.
Xiao Qing didn’t respond immediately, if not Lu Jinyang then who?
Seeing Xiao Qing’s stunned look, Lu Jinyang sighed silently, "It was the hotel."
Hearing this, Xiao Qing suddenly realized and said with disbelief, "I didn’t even consider that connection."
After a while, Xiao Qing spoke again: "Can you tell me about the past?"
Lu Jinyang’s hand on the steering wheel paused slightly.
In fact, he didn’t want to tell Xiao Qing about the past, because the current Xiao Qing was happy and confident. In the past, due to her status, no matter what he did, she never truly opened up, and he could see the inferiority hidden deep in her heart.
He knew, she was an orphan back then, and she thought she wasn’t worthy of him.
"Lu Jinyang, if you don’t tell me, I will..."
Lu Jinyang turned his face to look at her, "You will what?"
"I will... I will find a new dad for Da Bao and Xiao Bao!"
Suddenly Lu Jinyang’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, "You dare!"
"Just watch if I dare!"
For some reason, seeing Xiao Qing arguing with him made his heart inexplicably soften. Under her angry gaze, he started talking hesitantly, "It’s not that I can’t talk about it, I’m just afraid you might find it hard to accept..."
"Something I did myself? How could I not accept it?"
Unexpectedly, the man nodded seriously.
Xiao Qing, furious, demanded, "Speak! If you don’t, I will abandon the children too."
Lu Jinyang looked troubled, "Well, it was because back then you would always hang around my house, constantly flirting, and in a moment of weakness, I couldn’t resist your seduction and ended up in bed with you..."
Watching Xiao Qing’s mouth drop open in disbelief, Lu Jinyang wanted to laugh but forcefully held it back, "You even said, you wanted to have a litter of children with me..."
In Lu Jinyang’s eyes, which hid a trace of amusement, Xiao Qing’s annoyed covering her forehead clearly emerged.
"My goodness, how could I do such a thing?"
Lu Jinyang’s gaze returned, and he could barely conceal the smile at the corner of his lips, but Xiao Qing, immersed in the ’fact’ of having once seduced Lu Jinyang to bed, didn’t notice the man’s triumphant smirk.
