Chapter 408 - Start Investigating (1/2)

Lin Jian brought him back to the inn and with such a condition, Lin Jian couldn't lie to Yao Ling and told her everything that had happened before Yao Ying's episode.

”So... both of you were witnessing their exchange when he became like this?” Yao Ling asked.

Lin Jian nodded his head. ”Yes...”

Yao Ling remembered that Yao Ying had been this way once... but she didn't dwell on that matter because he didn't want to tell her more about it. Back then, he also met a certain woman who triggered his memories... thus, she was sure that he must have some kind of connections with the confidante. After all, Yao Ying didn't have any reaction when he saw the spy.

There was a lump in her throat.

Another person from his past?

The people that he met weren't simple and they were people who usually worked in the background but had high statuses... what kind of status that Yao Ying had back then? Who actually was he?! She couldn't think of any possibilities.

Did he... remember something? Yao Ling thought to herself doubtfully. She felt at a loss...

She didn't know whether she should be afraid or happy for him. Could she be selfish for once? In her mind, this baby's appearance was a blessing at this moment. No matter what kind of past he had, he couldn't abandon her because of this baby... She had to fight for the baby and... their current love...

Hopefully, Yao Ying could be trusted.

If he didn't keep his promise to her --- that he would never take any concubine, but they lived in the era which allowed men to have a lot of concubines and no one would criticize him if Yao Ying took a few. The position of a woman in his husband's family wasn't that high...

Maybe because a pregnant woman always thought too much... the same thing happened to Yao Ling --- her mind was in a mumble-jumble and the negative thinking kept bursting inside her mind. She looked at Yao Ying's sleeping face and touched it softly, tracing each part of his face and trying to grain it inside her memories. Lin Jian hit his acupuncture point so that he could sleep and remove the headache as well. Thus, the man didn't know Yao Ling's predicament or what she did to him at this moment.

If he saw her sad and broken look, Yao Ying would certainly feel guilty and broken as well... However, he was in no position to comfort her.

”What will I do if I lose you?” Yao Ling asked softly. She realized that even though she had grown up and became stronger, she also relied on Yao Ying's help to achieve that. Without him, she was nothing...

Once that thought appeared inside her mind, she quickly kicked it far away. No... she had to be strong! She didn't believe that Yao Ying was an irresponsible person. She believed in his current character... Even though someone forgot their memories, they wouldn't change their characters as well, right?!

If she kept thinking negatively, it would make her a bitter woman who was full of jealousy. She was supposed to choose the white lotus path and let him feel how understanding she was --- in the end, it would make him feel guilty if he hurt her.

En...

That was true!
