Chapter 68 - I've found out who you are.

His hand reached out to her face. Jing Lihua held her breath and tried her best to pretend she hadn’t observed his movements. It was not until that she felt a soft tissue paper touch her skin that she stopped pretending and looked at him with confused eyes.

"What...?" She innocently blinked.

"You had something smeared across your face. Let me." He continued to wipe her face with a liquid tissue paper with utmost interest in his eyes. His touch was gentle and light. It could make the recipient feel a particular way. Jing Lihua felt very weird being stared and treated like that.

"How did you manage to do it." Jing Lihua continued to stare out of the window.

"That’s not important. The important thing we enjoy it thoroughly." Li Zhiqiang looked out into the city. He felt to be engrossed in deep rumination. It was as if he was lost in memory very dear to him. Because his eyes had a strange spark and softness in them as he said softly. "It is just like that day."

"Have you been here to see the fireworks before." After a pause, Jing Lihua added. "With someone else?" She was really interested to know it.

Li Zhiqiang lips twitched but he didn’t say anything. Once the fireworks died out, Jing Lihua looked at him. There was a new determination in her eyes. It was as if she had reached a decision.

"I’m ready to know."

"What do you mean?" Li Zhiqiang looked at her.

"I know that you know something about me that I don’t." Jing Lihua hid her hands in the pockets of her blazers. "There is a certain part of my past that I’ve forgotten. Ever since the day I first saw you, I’ve felt a sense of familiarity from you. What was the reason that it was you who found me in the forests... and you keep following me. You are persistent in following me. There is no way to answer that other than the reason that I must have had a past with you."

"So you finally want to know why I want to steal you?" There was a hint of happiness in his tone.

"You have been waiting for me to ask?" Jing Lihua smiled. "It is not needed. I think I know. But the problem is... I don’t recall anything clearly. That means I must have forgotten. Earlier I was doubtful but that day in your room you asked me that ’Have I really forgotten you’. That clearly implied that I’ve forgotten something. Something you know. I would not have believed you even then. But at that moment I recalled something; a memory... And I knew there was something between us, something that I have forgotten."

"I’m ready to know whatever it is that is there. Because I know I won’t be able to rest until the truth is revealed."

Li Zhiqiang averted his eyes and glanced at the city that fell silent after the fireworks. He didn’t know how to respond to Jing Liihua. He just didn’t want to hurt her in any way.

"Are you not willing to tell me? I know... You said that you want me to find out for myself that who are you. What if... What if I’ve found out who are you?"

"Have you?" Li Zhiqiang’s lips curled up as he looked at her.

"Yes, I’ve Mr. Li." Jing Lihua smiled back at him. Her eyes were calm as still water. "Or should I say... President Li?

...

On the floor downstairs, two people sat across a table dressed in oversized clothes.

"Have you any idea how much money connections it cost me to get a room here?"

"It’s all worth it. All worth it. Stop complaining. We must be willing to do more for our Xiao Hua." Zhao Liying said.

"How do I feel like you just came here just for the food."

"Would you stop being whiny for a second. I’m trying to do a job here." Zhao Liying glanced at her phone screen hearing a notification. "Dammit."

"What happened now."

"He says he couldn’t get into the garage. The security was tight so we can’t investigate by putting the trapping device on his car." Zhao Liying put away the phone. "It seems like the person who dares to seduce our Jing Lihua is not a normal character."

"Of course he is not a normal person. To be able to get a reservation in this restaurant so easily." Mo Liang played with the forks. "Why you look so sad to hear that?"

"Am I supposed to look happy? How are we supposed to deal with him if he turns out to be another Su Liwei? We can barely match the Su family together. If she has found someone far more powerful than him, then what are we going to do. Is Jing Lihua some kind of magnet for the powerful men? Why can’t she find a normal man who is easy to kill if he hurts her."

Mo Liang: "..."

He sighed. "I think you need to chill. Our Xiao Hua is not the same naive girl who fell for Su Liwei. She is a grown woman. Have you not seen how she had managed her office all alone? She had no assistance. Even then, despite all the adversaries and Su Liwei trying to put her down, she still managed to get an upper hand."

"You don’t understand. The matters of the heart can’t be taken too lightly. Jing Lihua had her broken once but the second time, I’m afraid... It might break her."

Mo Liang stared at her. "You sound very different."

"I have to. Because there is something you don’t know."

"What is that? You can tell me."

"Do you remember that Jing Lihua went missing the day she had turned twenty?"

"Of course I remember. Her sudden unexplained disappearance threw all of us into a panic."

"And you do remember that right after a month she ended up in her own bedroom unharmed. Don’t you think it was quite weird? Especially because she had no recollection of what happened or where she was all the time."

"That happened a long time ago. What do you want to point at by mentioning that? We had investigated it the best at that time. But we couldn’t find out anything related to her disappearance and reappearance. The only clue we found out was that..." Suddenly Mo Liang fell silent for a moment. "Directed toward Hong Kong."
