The echo got louder and louder.
Her storming emotion worsened, and her chaotic mind was still trying to make some sense out of it.
She slowly raised her head and stared at him intently. She could only tell the outline of his facial features from the dim light coming from the outside.
Was she Ling Bao? How could she be Ling Bao?
He looked at her affectionately in the darkness of the room and said, “Babe, It has always been you. My love for you has never changed.”
Qin Shu refused to believe she and Ling Bao was the same person. How was this possible?”
” You told me I’m Ling Bao. But I have no memory of learning martial arts in Mountain Qi. I don’t remember either you or Han Xiao and the rest of the gang.”
“Because you had your memory locked up after being hypnotized. That is why you couldn’t remember everything that happened in Mountain Qi or me.” Fu Tingyu patiently explained.
That explanation came as a shock to her. Was she hypnotized to forget?
Was she hypnotized?
Did she know so little that she had no idea memory could be locked up through hypnosis?
“Then, how could you tell I’m Ling Bao the first time you met me? I could be someone that looked like her.” She couldn’t help asking.
“Did you remember that you asked me whether I met your mother before I met you?” Fu Tingyu answered her with a question.
Qin Shu stared at him questioningly. “What does this have to do with my mother?”
“I’ve been searching for you from the day we parted at Mountain Qi. I’ve seen your mother twice in Mountain Qi, so I recognized her. I enquired about you when I coincidently met her again in Lin City.”
He was reluctant to bring up Wen Xin’s name for fear of upsetting her. But he had to let her know what had happened now.
“Your mother met with an accident the day after I met her. I waited until the matter cooled down before I went to find Qin Hai when I returned to Jiangcheng. I knew he married the woman he had been keeping outside once your mother pa.s.sed away and even had an illegitimate daughter. I knew these would be a disadvantage to you, so I’ve thought of keeping you by my side. But you were still not of legal age yet. So, Qin Hai rejected me a few times when I requested the right to be your guardian.”
Qin Hai rejected him a few times?
Qin Shu couldn’t help feeling confused. Qin Hai had never seen her as his daughter, as if she wasn’t from his bloodline. His treatment towards Qin Ya was the total opposite compared to his treatment towards her.
“He probably rejected because of the company share under my name. I own forty percent of the company shares.” Qin Shu said, certain that her speculation was accurate.
“So I gave him some money and gave him my promise that I will not interfere with the matters in the company. Then only he allowed me the right to be your guardian.” He tactfully confessed.
Some money? A few hundred million were also petty to Fu Tingyu.
But it was a huge amount of money to Qin Hai.
Only Qin Hai could do such an inhuman deed of trading off his own blood for money.
As for Fu Tingyu, he had no interest in having anything to do with the Qin Group, neither was he interested with the forty percent of the company share under her name. The value of the company and the shares were nothing compared to his net worth.
That was the reason why he readily agreed to Qin Hai’s condition. All he wanted was her and only her alone.
With his wealth and influence, he could make Qin Hai give him everything with little effort. But he did not subject to these means because he did not want to waste his precious time. Neither did he want to put Qin Shu in an awkward position nor felt uneasy about it.
Qin Shu had long given up on hoping for her father’s love. So, these truths did not hurt her and had no impact on her emotions. She had totally ignored these facts.
Fu Tingyu did everything for her.
But she still had so many unanswered doubts.
“Why did you not tell me that you knew me when we first met? Not only did u know me, but we also trained under the same master.”
“Because I realized that you remembered nothing about our past. So I want to start over with you.”
He paused a little, “But the start over did not begin well. Not only were you scared of me, but you also hated me. I know I was stubborn in my ways of keeping you, but I don’t want to let you go.”
His words reminded her of the time she first arrived at Bright Garden. She was afraid of him. She was afraid of his possessiveness.
She hated him for interfering with her life.
Then she recalled Han Xiao, and Hua Wuyan kept telling her she was the Little Munchkin.
She stared at his face and asked, “Is there any other reason you’re keeping my real ident.i.ty from me?”
He seemed a little startled by her question.
“Was it true, what they said about my relationship with Han Xiao in the past?” another question came out from her mouth.
He pursed his lips, unwilling to answer her questions.
Judging from his silence, she could tell that there were truths behind Han Xiao and Hua Wuyan’s words.
She wanted to know everything that happened at Qi Mountain. But she remembered nothing.
He lowered his head beside her, and with his lips right by her ears, and he whispered, “Babe, it’s my fault for not telling you the truth. You can get angry with me, and you can scold and hit me. But please, don’t leave me.”
“I believe neither Han Xiao nor Huan Wuyan, no matter what they told me. I believe every word you told me. I believe only in you.”
She raised her head and looked at him in his eyes, “But the truth is, you lied to me.”
Her words seemed to ignite the fear in him. He even trembled when he spoke, “I’m sorry, Babe. Don’t leave me.”
Hearing his jittery voice was a surprise to Qin Shu. “Did you know who hypnotized me to make me forget?”
He was even more panicked when she ignored the earlier question. He wouldn’t have waited so long if he could let her go.
“I’ve been investigating this for a long time. Still, we found no lead. I guess your mother could be one of the reasons.”
Mother?
Qin Shu was confused. Her mother never told her about sending her for martial art training. Perhaps she kept it from her on purpose.
But why would her mother do that to her?
His wrap around her tightened as if he was worried that she would run off if he loosened his hold on her.”Babe…”
She ignored his pleads.
He pulled her even closer, “Babe, please don’t leave me, okay?”
Qin Shu was annoyed by the closeness, especially when he had his lips so near her ears, and he was breathing down her neck. It was warm, sticky, and a little itchy. And she was thirsty.
He wrapped his entire body around her and pulled her even closer. “Babe, our baby cannot grow up without a father by his side. Even prenatal education book mentioned that a father figure is important to a baby when they are still in their mother’s womb.”
Her face darkened. With both her palms on his chest, she pushed him away. She raised one of her legs and sent him rolling down the bed with a kick. Everything seemed to have happened in a blink of an eye.
As her action came without warning, Fu Tingyu, a tall man standing at six feet two, rolled down from the bed and hit the floor with a loud bang.
Since Qin Shu was pregnant, and her movement was rather limited, her kick didn’t seriously injure Fu Tingyu.
Lying on the floor, Fu Tingyu was momentarily stupefied. All these were all too familiar to him, for, after so many years, she sent him rolling down her bed with a kick once again.
With both his hands on the ground supporting his upper body, he stared straight at the woman sitting on the bed. “Babe, you’re pregnant. It would be best if you weren’t using so much force and doing such intense action. My heart would ache for you if you got hurt..” He said, concerned that she might have hurt herself when she kicked him off her bed.
