âWhat did you promise me, Shengge?!â Ji Shiting said sternly.
Ye Shengge choked. She looked into his deep eyes and suddenly had the urge to cry.
âListen, Shengge,â the man said. âYou have to go back. We still need you at home.â
Ye Shengge bit her lips and held back her tears.
She knew that Professor Xuâs amnesia didnât just forget people and things, but everything, including knowledge and experience. Otherwise, Ji Shiting wouldnât have needed half a year to learn and adapt.
If she forgot everything, she would be useless. Be it the company or home, she wouldnât be able to do anything. Instead, she would be a burden. Most importantly, how could she bear to forget him and everything between them?
However, she couldnât say anything as she looked into the manâs dark eyes.
She seemed to have gradually realized something.
He said he wanted her to believe him.
He wouldnât sit back and do nothing. Besides, for the sake of her and for his two kids, he wouldnât let himself fall into someone elseâs hands.
Ye Shengge calmed herself down and said, âOkay, Iâll listen to you.â
Tears were still in her eyes, but Ji Shiting knew that she understood what he meant.
The man hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead, but he didnât say anything in the end.
Hua Cheng smirked.
Before long, Professor Xu walked over and said, âLetâs begin.â
Ye Shengge looked at his excited face and wished she had a gun.
Ji Shiting was still calm. He nodded at Professor Xu.
Professor Xu led the way, and they soon arrived at a huge operating theater. Hua Cheng was standing guard outside.
Ye Shenggeâs hair stood on end as she looked at the cold instruments, the surgical tables, and the white-themed decor of the operating theater.
She suddenly realized that the underground research institute was almost completely white. She didnât know whether it was Jing Zhiyuan or Professor Xuâs preference.
âLie down, Ms. Ye. Donât worry. Iâve adjusted the frequency, so youâll forget all your troubles in a few minutes.â Professor Xu smiled at her.
Ye Shengge bit her lips and glanced at Ji Shiting. The man looked calm, so calm that he even nodded at her.
Ye Shengge felt her heart beating fast. She was worried that she would expose herself, so she looked away and lay on the operating table. She felt a cold hand on her head, and she tried not to open her eyes.
She then felt numb and lost consciousness.
Ji Shitingâs Adamâs apple started rolling subconsciously.
âMr. Ji.â Professor Xu suddenly smiled. âMs. Ye will forget you soon. Arenât you afraid at all?â
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow and said, âEither I become your puppet, or I just lose my memory like last time, or I die. Either way, she and I will become strangers. As strangers, neither of us will be sad. Itâs just a blank. Whatâs there to be afraid of?â
Professor Xu snorted and said, âYouâre really open-minded.â
Ji Shiting stroked the womanâs face and said indifferently, âLetâs begin.â
