221 The Reason She Doesn’t Remember Him

Shen Ruojing was stunned.

Chu Cichen’s gaze became gloomy and he asked, “On 1st November six years ago, on Halloween, did you go to the Hani Bar?”

Shen Ruojing raised her brows slightly. “That’s right.”

Chu Cichen looked at her. “Do you know what day it was?”

Shen Ruojing pursed her lips, frowning while feeling perplexed. “I don’t. I only know that someone asked me to go there but stood me up.”

Chu Cichen took a deep breath. “I was the one who asked you out.”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

Chu Cichen looked at her while wearing a bitter smile on his face. “I left a note for you, asking you to meet me at Hani Bar.”

Shen Ruojing. “???”

She couldn’t remember this matter at all. She furrowed her brows and thought about it for a short moment, then the events that had taken place that day flashed past in her eyes.

When she entered the organization, she saw a note that asked her out to meet at the Hani Bar. It was written that the person had something very important to tell her.

She went as 518, so she’d naturally wear her mask.

She went there but didn’t see the person who asked her out. Instead, she saw the puppy Chu Cichen at the bar. During that time, Chu Cichen had traveled to F. Country for work and she knew about this.

Moreover, the two of them had started a relationship.

She walked straight in his direction, sitting next to him. She then noticed that Chu Cichen’s gaze was dodging hers and he didn’t dare to meet her eyes. Moreover, his puppy countenance was flushed red, looking like he had had too much to drink.

She raised her brows and asked, “What are you doing here?”

The puppy Chu Cichen was stunned for a moment. “You know who I am?”

“Of course.” Shen Ruojing found him very amusing. She thought that he didn’t manage to recognize her because she had a mask on. Therefore, she got close to his ear and said softly, “You’re my boyfriend.”

Her calm tone caused Chu Cichen to be startled. He then said in joy, “Can you take off your mask?”

“Boyfriend.” Shen Ruojing pressed down on his shoulders. At the thought that someone from the organization had asked her out to meet here, she was afraid of being seen and thus said softly, “Not now.”

Just as Chu Cichen was hesitant to speak, Shen Ruojing said, “It’s very dangerous here. Leave right away.”

She then stood up, pretending like she didn’t know him, and walked to the side. She wanted to go and find the person from the organization who had called her here.

It was a pity that she didn’t meet that person that night.

And this made her even more vigilant. She was afraid that her identity might be exposed.

Thinking back, Shen Ruojing thought that the puppy’s appearance there was purely a coincidence. After all, nothing happened thereafter... Could it be...

She was a little surprised. “The person at the bar back then... it was you?”

Chu Cichen’s ears were a little red, but he stared at her with a serious gaze, nodding. “That’s right.”

Afraid that she might not be able to remember the details, he then said each word carefully with pauses, “I wasn’t wearing my mask back then and wanted to meet you in person as I feel that one mustn’t hide when professing their love. You entered the bar, seeming as if you knew that I’m 527. You walked straight to me to ask why I had asked you out. Back then, I was shocked and asked, ‘You know who I am?’, and you replied...”

At the mention of this, Chu Cichen’s face flushed up even more. However, there was a hint of nostalgia and deep love hidden at the bottom of his heart. “You said that I’m your boyfriend. Later on, I asked you to remove your mask as well, wanting us to face each other with our real appearances. However, you said that it’s very dangerous in the bar and told me to leave first. Indeed, I hadn’t taken enough consideration of it. There were many different types of people in the bar. I went in my real appearance, thus no one knew that I’m 527. However, you came in wearing your mask. If you were to take it off, you’d expose your identity. Therefore, I left first...”

Shen Ruojing. “????”

She was in a daze for a while.

Seeing her expression, Chu Cichen’s countenance gradually changed. “So, there’s once again a difference between our memories, right? This is also the reason why you don’t remember that I confessed to you.”

Shen Ruojing tensed her chin and nodded with a solemn countenance.

Chu Cichen had guessed it before Shen Ruojing said anything. He suddenly clenched his fists and asked, feeling a little nervous, “Back then, were you already in a relationship with your boyfriend, Chu Cichen?”

Shen Ruojing looked at him and nodded.

Chu Cichen immediately felt his heart stop.

Earlier on, he only guessed that he had found the real reason. However, when the real reason was presented in front of him, he found it a little hard to accept and was unable to say anything.

So the confession he had carefully prepared was just a little joke?

Over these years, he had been recalling the events that had taken place that day repeatedly. However, it turned out that day was just a joke.

He looked at Shen Ruojing.

He suddenly thought of his horrible attitude when Shen Ruojing first looked for him when he had just come back to the country. Did she feel the same as he was feeling now?

Joy had filled his heart, but he was then drenched with a basin of cold water.

Shen Ruojing saw that Chu Cichen was silent and had a pale countenance. She finally couldn’t bear it and sighed. “I’m sorry.”

These words made Chu Cichen panic inside.

Under what situation would one need to apologize?

His voice was hoarse as he said, “We just have no idea why things are like this. I will definitely investigate things clearly. You don’t have to apologize to me. Regardless if you’re Shen Ruojing or 518, regardless if I’m Chu Cichen or 527, we’re still us.”

After saying this last sentence, a wave of anxiety flashed past in his heart.

518 was Shen Ruojing.

The memories that each of them had about that bar might be wrong, or it could be said that there was a mistake that was led by different people looking at a problem from different perspectives. However, she was 518.

She was the person he loved deeply. This would never change.

However, was the person who didn’t have the memories of their relationship together really the person he was looking for?

Chu Cichen clenched his fists.

Shen Ruojing seemed to have thought of this problem as well, but when she saw the tall man’s helpless expression, she didn’t say any other vicious words.

She nodded at Chu Cichen. “I’ll be heading in first.”

She turned and entered the Yun Manor.

The woman’s figure looked thin, and Chu Cichen suddenly called out to her. “Jingjing.”

Shen Ruojing turned around.

Chu Cichen pursed his lips. The two of them were a little far away, but he was still flustered. He said, “No matter what, we have three children now. You… have to take responsibility.”

“…” Shen Ruojing waved at him and turned to enter the Yun Manor.

Suddenly sensing something, Shen Ruojing looked up to the left.

Not far away.

Wen Yuyi stood there and was currently making a call. She nodded at her.

Shen Ruojing also nodded and entered the house.

After Shen Ruojing went in, Wen Yuyi continued to say to the person on the other end of the phone, “Mother, I just saw the father of Shen Ruojing’s children! He pestered Shen Ruojing outside and even said that he wanted her to take responsibility for him… It must be that she doesn’t want the children’s father anymore after acknowledging the Yun Family as relatives, right? I wonder who he is.”

Wen Yuyi’s mother’s voice rang out from the other end of the phone. “They’ve been wandering outside for so many years, but Shen Qianhui only married a small-time celebrity. Shen Ruojing’s background is even worse, so who can the father of the children be? You don’t have to worry about these people. The reason I let you stay in the Yun Family in Ford City is for the sake of your marriage!

“By the way, I just heard that Matriarch Chu has come to visit Ford City and asked Madam Yun to prepare a room for her.

“The Sea City’s Chu Family is better than the Yun Family. I heard that their heir, Chu Cichen, has returned and that he’s still single. You have to seize this opportunity! I’ll send you his photo. If he comes too, you must pay attention!”

As she said this, Madam Wen sent the photo over on WeChat.

Wen Yuyi said casually, “He’s already so old, but he’s still single? Could it be that he looks ugly?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the figure in the photo.

Wen Yuyi was slightly stunned. Why did she feel that… he looked so familiar?

She subconsciously looked toward the entrance
