Qin Nianxia, ignoring the tearing pain in her shoulder wound, used all her strength to push Yan Zeqi away from her.

"I don't want to see you, get out of here!" Her eyes were full of disgust.

Yan Ze's eyes flashed, a surge of anger rising within him. He reached out and grabbed Qin Nianxia's neck, "I love you so much, yet you despise me. Do you really think my love is cheap, something you can trample on?"

He tightened his grip, and Qin Nianxia's face turned blue from lack of oxygen. Even though she was struggling to breathe, she retorted, "I, I don't need... your love!"

"If you don't need my love, who do you need it from, huh?" Yan Ze asked with a heart-wrenching pain.

He really hated this feeling of heartbreak.

It was because of his words that Qin Nianxia finally understood why her heart felt so empty.

She seemed to be expecting, needing the love of someone, to fill the void in her heart.

But who is this person?

All in all, it wasn't you. Qin Nianxia slowly closed her eyes, no longer struggling.

Seeing her fearless appearance, Yan Zeqi slowly loosened his grip: "You win, I can't bear to see you die."

"Little beggar, do you know why my mommy insisted on divorcing my daddy?" Qin Nianxia opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling light with a distant gaze. "Because, my daddy doesn't love my mommy, so my mommy let go."

“Are you telling me to give up on you?”

"Yes!" Qin Nianxia then turned her head to look at Yan Zeqi.

"If...at that time...I hadn't secretly left Karl Manor, but chose to stay, would you have fallen in love with me?" Yan Ze asked humbly.

Qin Nianxia answered without hesitation: "No."

Why?

I don't know.

"There's no reason, love is love, hate is hate."

"If that's the case, why would you like Leng Yanchen?" Yan Ze asked in a low voice.

Qin Nianxia's body froze for a moment, her heart suddenly warmed.

I felt like I knew this person's name, though I couldn't for the life of me picture what they looked like. However, when I heard their name, a strange sense of comfort filled my heart.

"Why aren't you talking anymore?"

"Who is Leng Yanchen?" Qin Nianxia asked in return.

Yan Ze was taken aback and couldn't help but frown: "You don't know who Leng Yanchen is?"

Qin Nianxia shook her head slightly, her brows furrowed: "Who is he? Why can't I remember?"

Yan Ze's eyes darkened slightly, and suddenly his mind became sharp.

Qin Nianxia suddenly realized, "Ah! I know who he is! Song Yunxi's fiancé."

In that instant, Yan Ze's newly-arisen suspicions vanished like smoke.

"Why are you all saying I like him? And accusing me of seducing him..." Qin Nianxia struggled to sit up and patted her head, "I seem to have forgotten something else."

No...

Leng Yanchen is not Song Yunshi's fiance!

"Since you don't like Leng Yanchen, who do you like? And the child in your belly, whose is it?" Yan Ze asked coldly.

Qin Nianxia came to her senses and blurted out, "I'm carrying Les' child!"

But it doesn't seem like it...

My memory is fuzzy.

Qin Nianxia frowned, looking quite troubled.

"Lez?!" Yan Ze's fists clenched unconsciously, veins popping out from his temples.

The next second, he got up and left without a word.

Qin Nianxia watched Yan Zeqi's departing figure, her heart filled with confusion.

That's right!

She always treated Les as a "brother," how come she ended up in bed with him and got pregnant?

What on earth is going on?

while on the other side.

Arva returned to Leng Yanchen's side to report, still not forgetting to taunt him.

"If it weren't for hypnosis, I wouldn't have known that you and Qin Nianxia had so many interesting past experiences!" Arva crossed her arms, accompanying Leng Yanchen as they watched the warriors training before them.

"Relying on peering into other people's minds to achieve a sense of superiority?" Leng Yanchen scoffed.

"That's not entirely true," Alva said, a hint of amusement in her voice. "I haven't erased all of Qin Nianxia's memories about you."

"I know." Leng Yanchen said calmly.

Alva no longer felt the satisfaction of deriving joy from others' pain.

But she was still outspoken and said, "Now, in her heart, you're just her sister's fiancé. Of course, while hypnotizing her, I also implanted some memories that weren't hers. For the rest of her life, she'll never fall in love with you again."

"I'm going to the General Bureau, are you coming?" Leng Yanchen changed the subject.

Alva suddenly felt like she was the only one going crazy: "I'm telling you, she'll never love you again in her life! Don't you have any reaction?"

"You did well." Leng Yanchen replied faintly, then turned and left.

Arva's face stiffened, and she instantly felt like she was meddling in something that wasn't her concern. She couldn't seem to anger the man at all.

"Ares, what are you thinking about?" Alva pursued and asked.

Leng Yanchen ignored her question.
