Chapter 648 - 648: Huaixiao, My Neck Hurts

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Huaixiao did not want to marry someone who wasn’t fully in his right mind. She had her pride.

Shi Jiu, who had lost his memory, was like a blank piece of paper. What was on it was all drawn by the Tang family. He could not remember anything, so when the Tang family asked him to repay them, he did so obediently.

He did not feel disgusted when he saw her face because he did not know what disgust was. He could not even tell if she was beautiful or ugly.

Tang Huaixiao sighed. She did not need Shi Jiu to repay her in this manner. She only wanted him to leave.

There were still a few days before the wedding. She could not wait any longer and would make a move tonight.

The sky gradually darkened.

Tang Huaixiao changed into black clothes and tiptoed into the room. Although there was hardly any noise, Shi Jiu was still startled awake. Before he could speak, he was pressed down heavily. There was a sting on his neck before he fainted.

Tang Huaixiao frowned and muttered. “You can even stay alert in your sleep. Shi Jiu, who exactly are you?”

Shi Jiu did not remember anything after being saved. The Tang family sent two people to the capital to ask around and see if any young masters had gone missing from any prominent family.

Those who were being hunted down so relentlessly could not be ordinary. However, the news sent back from the capital was that no one was missing.

Shi Jiu’s identity was a mystery. Tang Huaixiao did not believe that he was an ordinary person. An ordinary person would not be so alert when sleeping at night.

She carried Shi Jiu and quietly left the Dizang Manor. Her figure was light and she quickly headed out of the city.

Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan followed closely behind Tang Huaixiao. Hu Yu did not understand what Tang Huaixiao was doing. “What is she up to? If she sends the groom away, won’t she become a joke on the wedding day?”

Since both of them saw it with their own eyes, they knew that the groom was sent away by Tang Huaixiao. However, those who did not witness it would think that the groom ran away because he could not stand the fact that he was marrying a woman with two faces.

Liu Yuanyuan didn’t understand the woman’s behavior either. “Let’s watch first.”

Tang Huaixiao went to a place to get a horse. She placed the unconscious Shi Jiu on the horse. She rubbed the horse’s head and said in a low voice, “Storm, you know what 1 want, right? Send him far away to Yuezhou. It’s safe there.”

The horse called Storm seemed to have intelligence. It rubbed its head against Tang Huaixiao and neighed, as if telling Tang Huaixiao not to worry.

Shi Jiu, who was on the horse, was about to wake up.

Tang Huaixiao frowned. Before Shi Jiu could open his eyes, she tapped on Shi Jiu’s neck, causing him to faint again.

Tang Huaixiao took the heavy money bag and tied it to Shi Jiu’s waist. Then, she stuffed some money into his chest pocket.

Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan watched in the dark. Hu Yu sighed and said, “If she doesn’t want him to leave, why does she still send him away.”

Tang Huaixiao really did not look like that she wanted to send him away.

Liu Yuanyuan glared at Hu Yu. “You’re beautiful, so you naturally can’t relate to her.”

Women cared about their looks the most.

Having such a face, Tang Huaixiao was destined to be tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

She refused to let anyone approach her because she wanted to protect herself from being hurt.

Hu Yu touched her smooth cheek. “Who said I can’t relate to her?”

Hu Yu did not care if Liu Yuanyuan was praising her for her beauty. In any case, she took it as a compliment.

Hu Yu smiled. “I won’t let her send him away.”

Hu Yu blew at Shi Jiu. The unconscious Shi Jiu woke up quickly. When he opened his eyes, Tang Huaixiao reached out and hit his neck…

Shi Jiu said with difficulty, “Huaixiao, my neck hurts. Can we hit me somewhere else this time?”

Tang Huaixiao was puzzled. What was going on? She had used a lot of strength. It was impossible for Shi Jiu to still be conscious!

Tang Huaixiao frowned. “No matter what, you have to leave tonight. It’s good that you woke up. Grab the reins tightly. Don’t fall…”

The reins suddenly snapped and Shi Jiu fell down. Tang Huaixiao grabbed Shi Jiu to steady him before letting go. What was going on tonight? Why did the reins snap all of a sudden?

Shi Jiu smiled and said, “The night is so beautiful tonight.”

There was only a pale moon hanging high in the sky. How was it beautiful?

She looked at Shi Jiu severely. “Go. Don’t ever come back.”

Shi Jiu sighed and reached out to hold Tang Huaixiao. “Huaixiao, 1 don’t remember anything. Perhaps I used to be an amazing person, but now, I’m just Shi Jiu. I like being in the Tang family, and I like you.”

Tang Huaixiao frowned. “I…”

“I know what you are going to say. I just lost my memory temporarily. There are many things 1 don’t know, but I think I used to know them. I can paint and write. I don’t think I’ve lost my memory. Rather, I think I’m reborn. I have probably locked part of my memory up just to protect myself from getting hurt.”

Shi Jiu told her calmly. He was wise and eloquent, and everything he said was convincing.

For some reason, Tang Huaixiao felt that what he said made sense.

However, she still did not want him to stay. Tang Huaixiao looked away and said, “Since you are so smart, even if you leave, you can still protect yourself and live a good life. You can’t represent yourself while part of your memory is gone. You can’t marry me.”

Shi Jiu pondered and did not speak.

Hu Yu couldn’t stand it anymore and said to Liu Yuanyuan, “Tang Huaixiao is really good at pushing people away. If it were me, 1 wouldn’t care if he remembers his past or not. As long as he likes me, that’ll be enough. Tang Huaixiao really doesn’t know anything about romance.”

Liu Yuanyuan responded expressionlessly. “Be careful. Someone is coming.”

Hu Yu smiled. “Wow, Tang Huaixiao’s two brothers are here. Don’t worry, they won’t come out either. Unless Tang Huaixiao really chases Shi Jiu away or intends to use violence on Shi Jiu, they will just watch in the dark like us.”

Liu Yuanyuan was speechless.

She was not a demon who liked to squat in the corner and peep at others. She was not interested in doing this, but ever since she was with Hu Yu, she had been doing this quite a lot…

Shi Jiu pondered for a long time. Tang Huaixiao’s expression was cold. The faint hope in her eyes had been extinguished. She said coldly, “Just leave..”
