Chapter 7 - Responsiblity

Liwei who was was waiting for her on the dinner table, where a generous amount of food was placed. He was reading some documents on his tablet.

At that time, he heard some footsteps coming from the stairs.

He looked up at a woman dressed in a plain white dress, with hair open, coming downstairs elegantly.

Her every step, every movement represents elegance and discipline. She placed her hand on the side railing as she came downstairs.

She was still trying to get used to the short and skin exposing dresses of this era.

In her time, she used to wear a dress that was covered with a large robe which covers her whole with no skin showing.

But the most decent dress in her wardrobe was only this white-colored dress, which was knee-long and it's not as shiny as other dresses of Xie Ming.

She elegantly came down from the stairs and walked with her light steps towards the dining table.

She sat down and looked at all the food placed on the table as she started salivating.

She was hungry seeing al the mouthwatering dishes. The food she ate in the hospital was bland and tasteless. But these dishes looked amazing.

She picked up her chopsticks and placed a dumpling on her plate as she elegantly placed it in her mouth and chew it while savoring its flavor.

Liwei was staring at her, as she started eating quietly and with elegance, her hands put food in her mouth.

After seeing this he regained his composure and begin eating while staring at her in middle.

She looked like a painting while eating her food as she elegantly moved her chopsticks without making a sound she chewed on her food.

This was the first time he had seen her behaving so elegantly and she looked like a royal as she was eating.

The dinner went quietly.

Nobody spoke. And when she was ready to go upstairs, he said " Wait"

She looked at him and said "What".

He said, " Do you really don't remember anything?"

She replied, " Do I look like I am acting?"

Her counter-question made him stunned.

Though she spoke back to him but her voice was not loud or annoying. Instead, she talked so distantly that it made him feel weird.

He looked at her with his dark black eyes and said," Since we decided to not divorce until six months, till that time you will be Mrs. Jin Liwei and you need to follow all the rules."

" It means you cannot be in a relationship with any man and had to respect my family and manage this household. Although our relationship was only in name, as Mrs. Jin, you have to fulfill your responsibility. And in return, I will give you money and status. Understand?"

After listening to his words, she snorted ' everything is so similar, marriage without love but I have to follow all the rules and remain chaste for my whole life but the husband can go around to play with any woman and bring as many consorts he wants. She won't live like this anymore.'

She spoke, " Okay. But you also cannot be in any relationship with any women and if you bring any consort, I will make sure to make her life hell, because I am not the only one in this marriage who has to be faithful, though this marriage is only in name".

After hearing her reply, his eyes flickered and thought, 'Consort? In what kind of era does is she living or has she seen many period dramas that she talks like this.'

But he calmed his emotions and said," Okay".

She spoke, " If there is nothing else, then I am leaving". And after saying this she went upstairs, without waiting for him to speak anymore.

At this action of hers, his eyes became cold.

'Was she always like this or is it the side effect of her memory loss? If this is a side effect then I wish she never remembers her memories again because spending life with this new Xie Ming doesn't seem to be bad.' he wondered as he looked at her while she climbed up the stairs and went into her room.

'But doesn't it mean she won't remember her love for me as well? '

'Sigh'

'Her craziness is affecting me. I should go to the hospital.' he said as he also got off the dining table and went to the first floor to his study.
