"Li, what happened? Why do you look so angry?" Gu Xin hadn’t waited long outside before Ghost quickly walked out, grabbed her hand without a word, and led her away.

"It’s nothing, don’t ask." Ghost said coldly. They soon left the mall, and Gu Xin shook off his arm, rubbing her wrist with a pained expression.

"That hurts!"

"I’m... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you." Ghost snapped back to reality and apologized at once.

"Li, what happened? Did you have an argument with your friends?" Gu Xin’s first thought was that these people might be Ghost’s creditors. After all, the world is harsh; debts remain even if one loses memory. If they finally found Ghost, they wouldn’t let it go easily, and Ghost looked furious, which matched her guess.

"Do you owe them money?" Gu Xin asked cautiously.

"What are you talking about? How could I owe money?" Ghost quickly rebuffed. "They’re a bunch of lunatics."

"Li, what exactly happened? What did they say?" Gu Xin asked anxiously. Ghost’s secrecy only piqued her curiosity. But it wasn’t that Ghost didn’t want to speak; he barely understood the cultivators’ matters himself. After his amnesia, he didn’t even know what Inner Strength was. From their conversation earlier, he could only guess bits and pieces. Before losing his memory, he should have been their companion. As for what the organization did, one could guess it wasn’t anything ’legitimate.’

"Xin’er, why did you choose to be with me?" Ghost suddenly asked. Gu Xin couldn’t react, wondering why he said that. His words made her heart tremble, a shadow lurking in her mind. She didn’t understand what he meant and was even more curious about what was discussed earlier.

"I... like you. There’s no reason why. What do you like about me?" Gu Xin countered.

"Xin’er, if I was a murderer, a schemer, would you still want to be with me?" Ghost sighed deeply, turning his back to Gu Xin, his tone full of loss.

"I would." As soon as she spoke, Gu Xin hugged Ghost tightly. So tight... so tight...

"You don’t understand my situation now, Xin’er. I’ve tried countless times to recall who I was before, where my home was, whether I had family or friends, but... I regret it now. If I knew it would come to this, I shouldn’t have tried to find answers, I..."

Ghost stopped midway, swallowing back his words.

If he had known it would end like this, Ghost might not have chosen to be with Gu Xin. Back then, Lang tried to entice him with the high position of Vice Leader, but he refused because of Gu Xin. She was a good girl, and if her boyfriend was a gangster, it would greatly impact her.

But now, knowing he might have been a ’gang member’ with blood on his hands, how could he face Gu Xin? Should everyone know that Gu Xin’s boyfriend is a killer? No, if that’s the case, Ghost would rather leave her.

"Stop saying that. I love the present you. To love someone is to love all of them." Gu Xin said softly, "If the old you was so evil, from now on, break away from all of that. Perhaps amnesia is a chance from heaven for you."

"Gu Xin, thank you." Ghost turned around, and they embraced each other. On the street, many passersby stopped to watch them as they kissed.

"Where did you go just now?" Chen Yuxin asked coldly from the sofa. It was already one in the morning. Ye Shikai reeked of alcohol, having left Su Qingyu and gone drinking at the Dark Night Bar. Luo Shiqi watched him in silence. For every drink she took, Ye Shikai drank three. He had passed out on the sofa, and after resting for an hour or two, felt slightly better. Luo Shiqi had sent a car to bring him back.

"Xin, you’re still up?" Ye Shikai looked up, dazed, still under the influence of alcohol. He could barely stand, leaning on the wall for support.

"You still haven’t answered me." Chen Yuxin elegantly crossed her legs, sitting on the sofa, her gaze cold and her tone indifferent.

"The bar, why?" Ye Shikai said faintly.

"Anything else?"

"No." Ye Shikai hesitated for a moment, then said faintly, "I won’t say more to you. I’m going upstairs to rest." With that, he started to head upstairs.

"Wait." Suddenly, Chen Yuxin flashed in front of him, blocking him. Ye Shikai, caught off guard and weak, fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" The sudden pain jolted Ye Shikai into clarity. Chen Yuxin stood in front of him, making no move to help him up.

"Why did you go to Su Qingyu?" Chen Yuxin questioned.

"What are you talking about?" A strange look flashed in Ye Shikai’s eyes. "You were following me."

"Kai, what do you mean? We just got married a few days ago, and you went to see her." Chen Yuxin shouted. She rarely lost her temper with Ye Shikai, but this time she couldn’t contain the anger. Her possessiveness was strong, and even stronger after marriage. She wasn’t worried about Luo Shiqi or afraid of Ji Qian competing with her for men, but she was wary of Su Qingyu. She knew the entangled history between Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu. Their divorce wasn’t due to lack of love, leaving Chen Yuxin feeling insecure. She understood Ye Shikai wasn’t a cold-hearted person. She had hoped that over time, Ye Shikai would forget about Su Qingyu. But today, when Chen Ruoya reported to her, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on her heart.

"I don’t want to argue now. We’ll talk in the morning." Ye Shikai said, heading for the guest room instead of upstairs.

"Stop." Chen Yuxin suddenly grabbed him, shouting, "Explain it now."
