Chapter 1352 Before you lost your memory, you were together with my brother.
Li Xue picked up the call and was ready to apologize to Lin Xinyi first for gossip that was trending about her on the internet, but the woman on the other side of the call didn’t seem upset. Instead, she seemed to be least interested in it. And this was something that looked rather weird to Li Xue.”Li Xue, we have successfully completed our project with L.S cosmetics and they have been praising you. You did a good job, congratulations. I have already transferred the money to your account. Later when we meet, I will take you out for a meal.”
She said and Li Xue simply hummed in response. “Thank you, Sinister Xinyi. The people were nice there so it went well.” She said and then paused to ask again, “But Sister Xinyi, I am sure that must not be the only thing for which you have called me. Is there anything else you want to speak to me about?”
She asked and heard Lin Xinyi’s tone getting a shade darker suddenly. Her lips gave a hint of a small smile when she felt that it was not as weird as she thought before. But the next second she was left dumbfounded when she heard what Lin Xinyi seemed to be frowning at.
”Yes, Li Xue, there is something else that I am concerned about. You know L.S cosmetics will be having their product launch soon. They have sent you the invitation as well. But CEO Bai has put forward a request asking you to be his partner for the evening. Although there is nothing wrong with accompanying him, we all know what his intentions are around you, so I have helped you politely reject his offer. Are you alright with that?”
She asked and Li Xue’s brows tugged together. But humming, she still approved, “I have already said to him that you get to decide about it. I have no feelings for him, so it’s alright. Thank you for that, Sister Xinyi.” She said, and Lin Xinyi was already happy about it.
”Great then. Since you are okay with it. Don’t worry, on the day of the product launch, I and Xiao Meng will be accompanying you to the party. So, it will be fine.” Lin Xinyi said and hearing Li Xue hum on the other side, she was ready to disconnect the call when heard the girl say.
”Sister Xinyi, won’t you ask me or scold me for the pictures of me that are trending on the internet?”
Li Xue asked and Lin Xinyi paused for a moment but then in the tone of waving it off, she said, “What’s there to scold you about? Aren’t people simply talking about a few things? It’s okay. I have already asked the PR team to take care of the negative comments. As long as netizens don’t slander you it’s fine.”
She said and for some reason, Li Xue couldn’t understand. “But …”
She wanted to speak, but before she could say more Lin Xinyi cut her off to say instead, “Li Xue, don’t worry too much, take it slow. I still have things to look after so I will disconnect the call first, okay?” She said and the next second beep of disconnection was heard, putting an end to the call.
Once Lin Xinyi kept the phone away, Su Fai spoke, “Don’t you feel that seeing you not at all affected by this topic, she would get suspicious about it?”
Lin Xinyi raised her eyes to look at him before standing up with a smile to say, “I am doing it to make her suspicious about it. At least that way, she might get to remember something.” She said and then went to peck softly on his cheeks to add, “After all, she has loved President Feng and it has been already a month since she lost her memories. It would be better if she regained it back soon.”
Su Fai smiled at her adoringly as he slowly went to caress her hair to say, “So you are making efforts to make her remember things. Do you think this would work?”
Lin Xinyi shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know, to be honest. But at least the current news trending on the internet will keep CEO Bai and others away from her. Wouldn’t that be good enough?”
She said and Su Fai nodded to her before smiling to add. “I love you more when you are thinking like this. Can you be the same as this to me as well?”
Lin Xinyi pressed her lips together as she stared at him to ask, “What? Do you want me to set you up with other women then? Dream on! I am not doing that.” The moment she said that, the room got filled with a flutter of laughter.
While on the other side, Li Xue simply stared at her phone for a while. When Feng Yi Lan looked at her like that, she asked, “What happened? Is there anything wrong?”
Li Xue looked up at her and spoke, giving a shrug of her shoulders, “I don’t know. Sister Xinyi doesn’t seem to mind the news about me and your brother spreading on the internet?”
”Didn’t I say my brother is not a bad choice?”
Li Xue looked at her and gave a look to add., “But she is against CEO Bai pursuing me.”
Feng Yi Lan frowned at her mention of Bai Yuchen. “Girl, don’t say you are actually considering him?”
Li Xue shook her head. “Definitely not, Yi Lan. But shouldn’t I find it weird that Sister Xinyi is finding it good when I am with your brother but at the same time she is against CEO Bai.”
Feng Yi Lan coughed when she understood what Li Xue was getting at. But then taking a quick sip from her glass, she said, “Why should you find it weird? It only means that she considers my brother to be better for you, not that Bai Yuchen. It’s a simple theory as well as righteous one.”
”But your brother already has a wife, Yi Lan” Li Xue almost rolled her eyes. “Do you want me to become his mistress now?”
”Of course not, Li Xue. Why would I think that? Instead, I have always thought you to be his wife.” She spoke on a whim and realized how wrong she had spoken when she saw Li Xue’s expression changing. Quickly changing her words, she corrected, “I mean I have always wanted you to become his wife. Why would you be his mistress.”
”You have always wanted that?” She asked and Feng Yi Lan nodded.
”Of course, or else how would you and my brother have gotten together?” She said and once again pressed her hands on her lips, realizing how uncontrollably her mouth was running. But she had already spoken that, so there was no turning back.
Li Xue was utterly shocked. She looked at Feng Yi Lan with wide eyes as she asked, “I have gotten together with your brother? When?”
She asked, and composing herself for the best, Feng Yi Lan thought to answer accordingly, “Before you met the accident and lost your memory. You were with my brother. After chasing him for months you have finally gotten with him.”
Feng Yi Lan wanted to slap herself. She clearly knew her brother chased her friend. Yet given the stubborn attitude her brother was holding right now, it was only better to make Li Xue see the story another way so that she can be the active one in the relationship this time.
But Li Xue was finding it hard to believe. “I was chasing him and even got together with him?”
Feng Yi Lan nodded, “Yes, you did. Or else how do you think that you have got such a good bond with WeiWei? She even called you Mama. Do you think it was just like that?” She then shook her head in confidence to add, “No, it’s not as simple as it meets the eye. You two were almost ready to get married and start a life together when you got into the accident and lost your memories.”
”But your brother never said it to me?”
”How can he? He blames himself for your accident. He believes that he failed to protect you and that’s why he has subsequently distanced himself from you. Otherwise have you not seen how he treats you differently than others?” Feng Yi Lan supported her statement with facts and Li Xue found it hard to reject because she did feel something with the man.
Can this be true?
Li Xue thought for a moment and then looking up at her, she asked, “But then what about his wife? I felt that he loves his wife dearly. That can’t be wrong.”
Feng Yi Lan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the moment. Of course, her brother loves his wife dearly. But how could she tell the wife is her. It will be too much after all, after that she would ask about WeiWei, and telling WeiWei story would become a mess and not good for her health.
But at the same time now that she has made things come to this point, she could also not return back. So, in the end, clenching her fist under the table, she said, “She can’t come. She has left him already.”

[NOT RELATED TO THE CHAPTER: Although it is a bit long, please read it full.]
P.S: Dear reader,
Thank you for always been patient and understanding towards me. As I have also said before, your love and support has been all that has kept me going these two years. Yeah, you read it right, it’s been two years. I know I have not given many mass releases to impress you guys in this journey but believe me, I was simply incapable of that, I guess. I even made you wait for the chapters many times. But I am grateful that you all have been still been along with me all this while.
The book is about to end now. I thought to end it this month. But then as you all know; I have to shift to a different city for my studies which I have done last week and that’s why the updates stopped for a meanwhile. Shifting to the new city took a toll on me. I fell ill terribly, and the updates were further delayed. All of this was not my intention but it happened.
I have still not fully recovered but I am better now and will start updating from today on. So welcome back. The story could end anytime soon, so don’t stop supporting it in its ending days.
Before last month, my CE informed me that the book could get the highest ending event that would include exclusive badge, frames and other benefits for readers. And I was so excited for it thinking that my hard work of the two years would be well paid off. But recently that I have not released a few days, she informed me that the stats of the book dropped and not it’s not enough to get the big event. I really wanted the book to get one and there is still some hope. But for that I would need all of your help. In return, I will try to release more chaps.
So, please if you think that I and the book deserve this, please help me support it with votes and gifts. Your every vote and gift will make a change, so vote and gift it. The book has never received any big gift, if anyone of you think that it has deserved one then please gift one. Sorry for the shamelessness, this is the first time I am asking it.
