Chapter 260 - I Thought You Were Dead (1/2)
At that moment, most of the onlookers became excited. What an interesting scene! A man’s wife interrupting his new wedding to another woman! How could they miss it?
Xiao Baoshan gazed at Ye Xiaoxian steadily. Jin Xiaoyu had only a vague impression of Ye Xiaoxian, a special woman who had been here once before, but she hadn’t expected her to know Dumb, let alone be his ex-wife.
As the wedding ceremony stopped, the atmosphere also became dull. Someone shouted, “Miss Jin, don’t chicken out! Go on with the wedding first!”
“Miss Jin, why bother worrying about his wife? This man’s a good match for you! After the wedding, you’ll be his real wife!”
“Didn’t someone say he gave the woman a letter of divorce?”
“Yes…”
…
Jin Xiaoyu was also observing Ye Xiaoxian. Hearing the noises, she shouted impatiently, “Shut up!” When she wanted to ask Xiao Baoshan, he squeezed through the crowd toward Ye Xiaoxian.
Jin Xiaoyu’s heart sank as she had a terrible foreboding.
Xiao Baoshan walked up to Ye Xiaoxian and gazed at her. “You know me? My name is Xiao Baoshan?”
Ye Xiaoxian lifted her head and looked into his eyes. “You don’t know who you are?”
Wasn’t that a usual plot for a modern CEO in a TV series? But she was now in ancient times. Did amnesia also usually happen to excellent men in this era?
Xiao Baoshan replied, “About a year ago, I woke up at the base of a mountain and didn’t know who I was or where I was from. Confused and disorientated, I came to this inn and was taken in by Miss Jin. I’d been waiting for my family to look for me, but no one came. So I thought, perhaps, I had no home or family.”
Ye Xiaoxian and her companions were stunned by what he said. One year ago? Wasn’t that when he disappeared?
Qian Qi said he had sent people to searched around that mountain but didn’t find Xiao Baoshan. It turned out that Xiao Baoshan had walked to Longmen Inn which was not in their search area.
Thinking about this, Xiao Tieshu tapped his thigh. “I told you he has amnesia. He’s such an honest man. How could he be a two-timer? He’s still Baoshan even though he’s lost his memory.”
Liu Qianqian was still suspicious. “Who says an honest man can’t be a two-timer? Some betrayers are indeedmen. But… Xiao Baoshan, have you really forgotten what happened before? Are you acting?”
Standing next to Xiao Baoshan, Silly explained, “He’s not acting. He indeed can’t remember anything. He’s called ‘Dumb’ here. None of us know his real name!”
Xiao Baoshan nodded. “I don’t remember my name being Xiao Baoshan. Who is Xiao Baoshan? Is he a good man or bad? What did he do before?”
Liu Qianqian looked at Ye Xiaoxian who was gazing at Xiao Baoshan in astonishment. He had really lost his memory! She knew Xiao Baoshan was not someone who would pretend to have amnesia or leave his family behind because of a woman.
So Liu Qianqian said to him, “Xiao Baoshan, I heard about your story from others. You were a great general who achieved victory in almost every battle. Certainly, you lost once, but that was not your fault. You saved many lives and they called you a hero. Later, to save people, you got injured and disappeared. We couldn’t find you and thought you were dead.”
Out of shock, Xiao Baoshan took a step back. The previous group of people calling him Xiao Baoshan had said he was a traitor. This group of people also called him Xiao Baoshan, but they were saying that he was a hero.
He looked at Ye Xiaoxian. “Who do you think I am?”
With tears in her eyes, she huffed, “I don’t care who you are. In my eyes, you were my husband in the past and you’re my ex-husband now! You’ve divorced me and are going to marry another woman!”
At that moment, he suddenly felt an ache in his chest. He could clearly feel her sadness, and as her figure became more and more familiar, it seemed to coincide with that in his dreams. If this woman was really his wife, how should he treat Jin Xiaoyu?
He turned to Jin Xiaoyu. Jin Xiaoyu had been watching them talk. When she met his eyes, she burst out laughing. She laughed louder and louder and tears started to come.
Puzzled, some guests asked, “Miss Jin, why are you laughing in such a situation?”
Jin Xiaoyu ignored them and kept laughing. After a long while, she stopped and asked Xiao Baoshan, “Dumb, you say you always dream of a woman. Is she the one in front of you? If she is…”
