“Elder Xue, why…” Zhuo Fan began.

Xue Dingtian kowtowed in tears, “Steward Zhuo, you are a man of great ambition while we are simply a poor simple clan. Ning’er is also still ignorant to the cruelty of this word and is unable to survive your battles. I know it disgraces Steward Zhuo’s act of mercy in saving Ning’er by doing this, but none of us wish to see her go through it again. I beg Steward Zhuo to help me.”

Xue Dingtian kneeled there and shuddered, before a shocked Zhuo Fan.

The Xue clan didn’t want Ning’er to be involved with Zhuo Fan any longer and were begging him to let her go. But was it that easy for his heart to accept?

“Ning’er’s awake!”

Xie Tianyang’s cry of joy came from inside. Zhuo Fan woke up and rushed inside, ignoring the kneeling old man. Xue Dingtian wiped his tears and came as well.

But what they witnessed wasn’t a face filled with joy, but one filled with doubt. Xue Ningxiang rubbed her eyes, looking over each of them, “Who… are you? Who… am I? Where am I?”

They all cried in shock. [What’s wrong with Ning’er? Did her soul not mend completely? A mental scar?]

Zhuo Fan shook his head, “People, don’t be nervous. Ning’er had a damaged soul and recovering is the same as being born anew. It is normal for her to forget everything. But as her essence was the original one, she will be the same Ning’er we all know. She won’t change.”

The people understood. Ning’er had lost her memories after that ordeal. But that was for the best. Forgetting such dreadful memories was a blessing for the kind and pure Ning’er.

Everything was fine as long as Ning’er was back to her bubbly and naive self. They’d just have to get reacquainted.

“Ning’er, I am your dad!” Xue Wanlong cried.

“Ning’er, I’m your grandfather.” Xue Dingtian approached with shaking hands.

“Ning’er, I am your elder brother, Xue Gang!” “Ning’er, I am your second brother, Xue Lin!”

Everyone circled around Xue Ningxiang to introduce themselves. Xie Tianyang even straightened his hairdo and put on a weird smile before jumping in front of Xue Ningxiang, “Ning’er, do you remember me? I’m your husband!”

They all went quiet.

Zhuo Fan came over looking glum as he said, “Xie Tianyang, are you trying to take advantage of this chance and get close to Ning’er now that she has lost her memories? I’ll give you a thrashing!”

Xie Tianyang rubbed his head, “Ha-ha-ha, Ning’er don’t mind it. It was only a joke. Actually, I am…

“Your childhood sweetheart and fiancée!” Xie Tianyang proceeded with his shamelessness.

Everyone rolled their eyes. Zhuo Fan’s fist crackled, “Xie Tianyang get the hell out. I promise not to kill you, much!”

Xie Tianyang glared at him but then closed his mouth.

He was crystal clear that there was no chance of beating Zhuo Fan.

“Ha-ha-ha, coward!” Seeing his sullen face, Ning’er giggled as she showed a bright smile.

Xie Tianyang wasn’t about to accept it, “Who called me a coward? I can’t beat him, but for you, I will still fight him!”

Xie Tianyang rolled up his sleeves and went with Zhuo Fan outside to start the duel.

Xue Ningxiang waved, “Wait, why are you picking a fight if you can’t win? Please don’t take my joke to heart. I didn’t mean it. I don’t want to see you hurt over something so meaningless.”

“Ning’er, you’re still the same. You may have forgotten me, but you’re so kind and caring. I’m relieved.” Xie Tianyang sighed.

The rest nodded. Ning’er didn’t remember them but she hadn’t changed at all.

Xue Ningxiang turned to Zhuo Fan standing farther back with a bewildered look, “Who are you? Do you know me? They all rushed to introduce themselves but why aren’t you saying anything?”

Whoosh~

Everyone looked at Zhuo Fan with complicated looks.

Zhuo Fan’s eyes trembled. Seeing her sincere face and then recalling Xue Dingtian’s pleading, he smiled, “Ha-ha-ha, me? I’m a bad guy!”
