Chapter 999: I Still Love Him
What a vulgar man!
“Got it.” Bai Qi stroke her hair from her cheeks. She pouted her red lips and said tenderly, “It’s just a joke. Why are you so serious?”
She pretended to be relaxed, but Zhou Yao knew that she was not joking. She still did not believe him.
He pinched her chin with two fingers. “What do I have to do for you to believe me? Tell me, Hmm?”
The man was really anxious. His eyes were no longer as calm as before, looking like he was panicking. Bai Qi suddenly felt a pain in her heart. She slowly reached out her small hand to touch his handsome face.
Zhou Yao’s eyes darkened. He held her small hand tightly, afraid that she would leave again.
“Zhou Yao, is this face… ugly? Am I… never going to be able to change it back…” Bai Qi’s eyes were filled with deep sorrow.
Zhou Yao pulled back his brows and kissed her little hand. “Believe me, I will change you back… Even if you can’t change back, even if you’re ugly, am I not still attracted to you? The first time I saw you on set, my eyes were deeply attracted to you…”
Bai Qi curled the corners of her lips. “Yes, the first time on set, you fought with me for Liu Chengcheng. Then you even tampered with the Bai’s Martial Arts Dojo. You forced me to take off my clothes for you to see… General Zhou, in short, thank you for being attracted to me.”
At this moment, Zhou Yao only wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He could not explain the details of his past enough. He suddenly realized why he had been such a jerk in the past.
“Honey, let me explain…”
Zhou Yao wanted to explain, but the a.s.sistant’s voice came from behind him. “General Zhou, doctor Zhou has something to discuss with you. Please come this way.”
Zhou Yao had no choice but to let go of Bai Qi. He reminded her in a low voice, “Wait for me here. I’ll be out in a while. We’ll go home together.”
…
Bai Qi did not wait for Zhou Yao as he disappeared from her sight. She walked out of the hospital.
She hailed a taxi on the street and returned to her house.
As she walked into the neighborhood, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her. It was Bai Bo.
“Senior brother, what are you doing here? Are you looking for me?” She walked up and called out. No matter what, she was filled with grat.i.tude towards Bai Bo.
Bai Bo turned around and revealed a simple and honest smile. “Bai Qi, you’re back. Yes, I’m here to look for you.”
“Senior brother, why are you looking for me?”
“Oh, I noticed that you haven’t been to the dojo in the past few days. I couldn’t get through to your phone either. I thought that something had happened to you and I was worried, so I came over to take a look.”
“Senior brother, from now on… I won’t go to the dojo anymore.”
“Why? Bai Qi, did someone bully you?” Bai Bo asked.
“No, everyone treated me very well. It’s just that…” Bai Qi looked at Bai Bo. “I’ve recovered my memories, and I want to return to my normal life.”
Bai Bo was stunned. “Bai Qi, you’ve recovered your memories? You…”
“Yes, I…”
“Wait a minute, Bai Qi. Don’t say anything yet. Let me talk about something first. I’ve been hiding something for a long time. I’ve never had the courage to tell you. I’m afraid that if I don’t say it now, I won’t have the chance. Bai Qi, I’m leaving in two days. I want to settle down in Jiangnan. My martial arts dojo has opened there, and I’ve bought a house. I… I want to take you with me.”
Bai Qi knew what he meant, but she didn’t expect him to say it now. “Senior brother…”
“Bai Qi, I like you. I’ve liked you for a long time! I’ve seen a lot of good qualities in you over the past two years. You’re hardworking and kind. I know you’re single too. I want to give you a family. In the future, we’ll form a happy family. I’ll treat you very well.”
“Bai Bo, I’m sorry. I have a son…”
“It’s okay. I accept all of your past. In the future, I’ll treat your son as my own…”
“Bai Bo,” Bai Qi interrupted him calmly, “I have a son, and I have a… man. Although we’ve been separated for four years, I still love him.”
Yes, she loved him.
No matter how bad that man was, she still loved him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Bo became quiet. He looked disappointed and depressed. “Bai Qi, is that man… General Zhou?”
Bai Qi’s eyes lit up. “Senior brother, is Ye Ziyi the one who saved you in the past?”
Bai Bo hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Five or six years ago, when I opened a dojo, I offended the local hooligans there. They were prepared to take revenge on me. I was weak and had already prepared for the worst. However, I met Mr. Ye and he saved me. He is the savior of my life, my savior.”
“Mr. Ye was just pa.s.sing by. He didn’t ask anything in return from me, so I could only give him my contact information. I said that no matter what requests he had in the future, I would do it for him. In the blink of an eye, two years had pa.s.sed. Suddenly, one day, I received a message from him. He sent me a photo of you. He said that your face might have changed a lot, but nothing else would change. You would also lose your memory. Mr. Ye asked me to look for you and take care of you, but he didn’t give me an address. He said that everything would be up to the G.o.ds, whether I could find you or when I would find you. So, it took me two years to find you.”
Bai Qi’s suspicions were confirmed. Bai Bo had been instructed by Ye Ziyi.
It seemed that Ye Ziyi had saved her when she was giving birth, but he was still reluctant to take her life. Ye Ziyi had also colluded with Han Xuan, and they had manipulated her face.
“Bai Qi, Mr. Ye also said that if your memory couldn’t be retrieved, he will let me take care of you for the rest of your life. But if one day you regain your memory, I can tell you about this. Bai Qi, although I don’t know what your relations.h.i.+p is with Mr. Ye, I know that Mr. Ye treats you very well.”
Very well?
Bai Qi wanted to laugh when she heard these two words. In fact, Ye Ziyi was indeed very good to her. No matter what, he couldn’t bear to take her life. But, could that be counted as kindness?
Did he ever ask her if she needed this kind of kindness?
He made her lose her memory, changed her face, and created the illusion that she was already dead. She had been wandering outside for the past four years. If it weren’t for Bai Bo who accidentally let her come to T city, she wouldn’t have known the existence of Sileng and Zhou Yao.
She would rather have never met that man called Ye Ziyi.
She would never forgive him.
“Bai Qi, I have already told you everything I know. General Zhou is very good. He is someone I will never be able to become in my life. I am relieved that you are with him. I will leave tomorrow. Bai Qi, goodbye.”
Bai Bo gave an honest smile and extended his hand to Bai Qi.
“Senior brother, thank you for the past two years. In the future, you will meet someone better. You will definitely be happy.” Bai Qi shook his hand.
