Gu Zichen was dumbstruck on watching how cold Wu Jinyan kept acting around him. In addition, he couldn't believe the words she uttered while gazing at him with a loathing look. "Feng, who's this crazy man?! He keeps referring to me as his wife"
He felt his head spinning with his ears buzzing continuously as though someone slapped his face hard. Those words felt like sharp thorns prickling his heart.
Seeing her facial expression that seemed to darken with every passing second, he realized instantly that something extremely big and bad happened.
Something he never expected to occur and something his heart couldn't handle at the moment.
How could he accept this undeniable fact that his wife lost her memories and completely forgot him just by sleeping for seven days?
Though she was his wife only on paper and he held no special feelings towards her, she was still that one particular woman he picked in order to make his ex girlfriend regret leaving him. He was yet to deploy several plans using this woman but here she says she had no memory of him.
Which man could tolerate such a failure even before he started playing the game?
While checking on her condition, doctors assured him that there would be no chances for any complications to happen. Now with how Wu Jinyan was behaving, Gu Zichen was sure that those doctors were all just quacks and were scamming people for money.
He was already being on the verge of breaking down and on thinking about the doctors, Gu Zichen was infuriated to peaks and he appeared as though he would explode at any second. The thought of calling the doctors to check on her again was instantly killed in his head.
She showed no response, irrespective of what all he did and how much he took care of her but woke up readily after listening to a song played by Mu Feng.
If he knew this tip, he would have played music 24/7 for her. How could he not know about this?
It looked as though he watched a fairytale in which she's a princess who could wake up from her long slumber only with a true love's singing.
After she woke up, she totally had no idea who her husband was and set her eyes only on so called 'Prince' Mu Feng.
'Won't such miracles happen only in movies and novels?' Gu Zichen wanted to strangle Mu Feng to death.
'Didn't she fall for my looks before? Now that she saw another handsome man, she totally forgot about me..Tsk' Gu Zichen shed invisible tears. This woman was truly a stupid woman who gets blinded by good looks. How in the world did he marry her? He should've looked for a better woman.
"Jinyan look carefully. You don't recognize me?" Gu Zichen held her hand and asked again in a worried tone. He knew it would be impossible for her to remember him within a few seconds but with that little hope he had in his heart, he gave another try to which Wu Jinyan ruthlessly pulled her hand out of his grip, glared at him screaming "Let go of me"
She was acting so distant, he was unsure how to explain to his parents when they were already making a ruckus demanding him to let them see their daughter in law. They might barge into the hospital room anytime soon.
Would they believe if he said their daughter in law lost her memories?
Wu Jinyan was literally killing him with her coldness. He was really helpless with her treating him like air.
"Feng, I'm hungry. Can you get something for me to eat?" Wu Jinyan's voice was too soft which was almost inaudible but Gu Zichen succeeded to make out the words she spoke in her slightly hoarse voice.
Gu Zichen was severely hurt with how dependent she was on Mu Feng and she kept addressing him affectionately as 'Feng'. He suppressed his gloomy emotions as he masked them with a slight smile on his lips.
Before Mu Feng could react, he picked his mobile immediately and made a call. His swift actions made Wu Jinyan to frown in displeasure and she gazed at Mu Feng as though looking at an idiot who had zero skills in pleasing a woman. She shook her head helplessly thinking that she was the fool to hold expectations on someone like him. Nevertheless, she was not impressed by Gu Zichen's quick reflexes but was only disappointed with Mu Feng's witless behaviour.
She didn't expect Gu Zichen to be quick and act before she could even say what she wanted to eat. But she didn't speak anything as Gu Zichen continued to speak in the phone. After hearing what kind of food he ordered, her mind started working at an unimaginable speed, she already prepared an excellent plot to play with Gu Zichen.
Mu Feng was dumbfounded on hearing what Gu Zichen ordered and his eyes darkened gradually. He's not sure if Gu Zichen was really Wu Jinyan's husband. At the moment, Gu Zichen seemed just like a devil disguised in angel's attire who came to claim her life.
Mu Feng tried to speak up but on receiving a warning gaze from Wu Jinyan, he shut his mouth immediately. He sighed as he realized that this little woman had some tricks up her sleeves. But she was truly a daring woman to put her life at stake.
He doubted if Wu Jinyan really lost her mind due to the shock she experienced. He buried all these doubts and didn't dare to rise them when Gu Zichen was still around.
Within a few minutes, a small bowl of porridge appeared in Wu Jinyan's line of sight.
With a light smile on her face, she looked at Gu Zichen and nodded her head as though expressing her gratitude.
Gu Zichen was surprised to see her smile suddenly but was also relieved that she was finally trying to accept him. He knew it would take a lot of time for her to remember him but for the time being he was satisfied with this little progress.
"Eat before it turns cold" Gu Zichen said and handed a spoon to Wu Jinyan with sparkling eyes. He was completely oblivious of the pitiful expression on Mu Feng's face and the real meaning behind the smile hanging on Wu Jinyan's lips.
Wu Jinyan scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it and was ready to eat.
Watching her actions, Gu Zichen smiled in contentment but Mu Feng was feeling anxious and balled his fingers into fists as his heart kept thumping erratically forgetting its usual rhythm. For him, everything seemed to happen in sow motion.
"Well, Mister. You said you are my husband. But I didn't see any kind of proof. Can you show me something to make me believe your words?" Wu Jinyan suddenly asked Gu Zichen putting the spoon down that was almost in her mouth. Her voice was so soft and composed, one couldn't notice the playful smile dancing on her lips and the darkened expression in her eyes.
