Yu Jing lifted the burly man with floral tattoos, who looked to be a hundred and seventy to eighty jin –
Qin He’s eyes widened. Didn't he just say carrying a hundred kilograms of gold had injured his back? What was this now?
Yu Jing held him like a large, hollow doll, slammed him to the ground a few times, and then clapped his hands.
Gu Qi Chen lowered a car window slightly, “Smash his car, especially the horn.”
Yu Jing, who had been about to get into the car, took a window breaker from the trunk, ran to the Hummer, and dutifully smashed the car, along with the two headlights.
The car owners by the roadside stared.
“So arrogant!”
Qin He watched as the old man had already walked to the sidewalk nearby.
Yu Jing was also quick at beating people up.
He respectfully got into the car, not even out of breath, “Mr. Gu, it’s handled.”
Gu Qi Chen’s anger had not subsided, but he still said softly, “Drive.”
Yu Jing responded.
Qin He smiled and praised, “Yu Jing, I didn’t expect you to be so skilled.”
Yu Jing in the front stiffened. A chill ran down his spine, and he chuckled sheepishly, “No, no, my Mr. Gu is much better than me!”
Qin He’s ears felt warm when Yu Jing mentioned Gu Qi Chen.
She couldn’t question Gu Qi Chen about that kiss just now, because she had been too engrossed.
Madness!
Qin He changed the subject, trying to resolve the awkwardness of the moment.
“Yu Jing, upon closer inspection, you’re quite handsome and tall. Do you have a girlfriend?”
Yu Jing was about to cry.
Gu Qi Chen said coldly, “He does.”
Qin He was a little disappointed, “I was thinking if you didn’t, I could introduce someone to you.”
Yu Jing stammered, “Thank you, Miss Qin, but my girlfriend and I are very much in love.”
Gu Qi Chen let out a low chuckle.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the waterfront restaurant.
Gu Qi Chen and Qin He got out of the car. Yu Jing also got out, “Mr. Gu, I’ll make a call and have someone handle what just happened.”
“En.”
Yu Jing hurried away.
Qin He and Gu Qi Chen walked towards the small bridge connecting the shore to the restaurant.
Beneath the bridge was a wide river, and the restaurant was located in the center. The only way to reach it was this bridge.
Perhaps for the atmosphere, the owner had paved the path with wooden planks, making it a bit wobbly to walk on.
Qin He chuckled, “If this restaurant were attacked, it would truly become an isolated island.”
The edges of the small wooden bridge were full of flowers.
They entered the restaurant, and Qin He’s reserved private room was on the third floor, the best location.
The restaurant was semi-spherical, with only one room on the third floor. The ceiling was made of special glass and could be opened, making it very pleasant to dine with the breeze.
But neither Qin He nor Gu Qi Chen were in the mood.
After they sat down, a handsome male waiter quickly approached. After they ordered, the waiter stood by.
Qin He felt a little relieved. With someone else present, she felt less awkward.
That kiss in the car felt like a dream.
Fortunately, Gu Qi Chen didn’t mention it, or she wouldn’t know how to face herself.
After the meal, Qin He and Gu Qi Chen went downstairs to leave.
When they reached the first floor, they found it lively.
“What’s going on?” Qin He asked curiously, “Could it be that someone is actually attacking? Then we’d truly be caught in a trap, like fish in a jar.”
Gu Qi Chen smiled at her, “You forgot, I can swim.”
Qin He: “……”
She was reminded of the artificial respiration in the water last time.
Soon, Qin He and Gu Qi Chen also realized what everyone was doing.
On the first floor, a young couple was staging a surprise marriage proposal.
Qin He stood on the stairs, watching the girl cover her mouth, tears streaming from her eyes.
“Will you marry me?” the boy asked, holding a bouquet of champagne roses, kneeling before the girl.
The girl, with tears in her smile, remained silent for a long time.
Someone handed a microphone to the girl, while others busily recorded the moment.
The girl took the microphone, “I will, forever.”
Qin He’s gaze flickered slightly. A sudden emptiness and sadness filled her heart.
“In this world, there is no such thing as forever, only the present.” she murmured, “But still, I wish them well. Having the present is good too.”
Gu Qi Chen turned his head to look at Qin He. She was gazing absently at the couple.
Yet, the words she spoke were cold.
Did she no longer believe in love?
“Why is there no forever?” Gu Qi Chen asked, looking at the couple, “Will you always love your mother?”
“That’s different!” Qin He insisted stubbornly.
“Why is it different?” Gu Qi Chen asked.
Qin He thought for a moment, “I don’t know. In my youth, I believed in love, but now –”
She stopped, and suddenly turned to look at Gu Qi Chen, with a hint of distaste, “After I lost my memory and woke up, I suddenly stopped believing.”
Perhaps because this man had been too much of a scumbag in the past, although she had lost the painful memories, she couldn’t get back the lost trust in love.
Gu Qi Chen was silent for a few seconds.
He watched as, surrounded by the crowd, the boy put the ring on the girl’s finger.
He had no memory of their past marriage.
He had married Qin He casually because his grandmother was urging him, and he felt it was the same with anyone. He had chosen her from a stack of photos.
After they got married, he rarely returned to Senyuan. At the time, he thought it was good that this wife was well-behaved and wouldn’t bother him.
Perhaps Qin He was too well-behaved then, so much so that she never asked him for living expenses.
It wasn’t until after their casual divorce that all the details became clear again.
Gu Qi Chen pursed his lips, wanting desperately to ask Qin He why she had married him back then. He knew it was for love, but when had Qin He fallen in love with him?
In college, she had studied forensic medicine, and later worked as an embalmer in a funeral home. Her network of contacts had no intersection with his.
Even Professor Harlan, he had no dealings with.
The Gu family and the Qin family were even competitors. Before this, he had never met Qin He.
Gu Qi Chen’s hand by his side clenched slightly. He wanted to know, but this memory, or that period of time, had been taken away by heaven.
Qin He had lost her memory.
It was also fortunate that she was still by his side.
After watching the proposal, Qin He smiled, “All’s well that ends well. Although I don’t believe in love, I still wish them a hundred years of happiness.”
The two left the restaurant and walked across the small wooden bridge.
Yu Jing was already waiting by the car.
After getting into the car, Qin He’s phone rang.
Qin Yun’s voice was filled with anger, “He’er, where did you go! You weren’t there for dinner!”
Qin He chuckled sheepishly, “Brother, I just went out for a walk. I haven’t been to Hai Cheng in a while, you know.”
There was a pause on Qin Yun’s end, and then another voice spoke.
Lu Ming Xi’s voice was like his personality, with a lazy tone, his voice trailing off as if hooked, “Little kitten, hurry home, I’m waiting for you.”
Qin He inexplicably felt a pang of guilt.
The air in the car seemed to grow colder.
Qin He frowned, “Lu Ming Xi, it’s so late, what are you doing at my grandmother’s house?”
Lu Ming Xi laughed, “Grandma invited me. Your family is very welcoming to me. Little kitten, maybe your grandmother has taken a liking to me and wants me to be her grandson-in-law.”
Gu Qi Chen let out a cold laugh, “You’re thinking too much!”
