518 Make new memories
Cui Fen looked at him, bewildered and Jun could tell that she was really hearing this name for the first time.
More than her, it was Yating who expressed her shock. “Say what? Why are you asking her about Zhan Yahui?”
Jin gave a bitter smile. “Seems like you haven’t seen the news yet. Check out who is the new CEO of Shi Publishing.”
Confused, Yating checked his phone for the latest news and was stunned to see Zhan Yahui having CEO authority over Shi Publishing.
“Huh? Did I miss something? How did Zhan Yahui become CEO of Shi Publishing?”
Yunru pursed his lips. “Well, Zhan Yahui and Huan are actually half-sisters.”
Which he confirmed when he read another news bulletin of Shi Shuren’s affair secret getting revealed.
“What the hell…”
He frowned heavily and then was struck with realization. “Wait, you think she is behind this whole mess because she benefited by becoming the CEO? That’s definitely some crazy theory.”

Yunru widened his eyes. “What! Why would she possibly hurt my brother! He doesn’t even know her!”
Jun smiled alarmingly. “I didn’t know her either but here she is, involved in every aspect of whatever has gone wrong until now. That’s why Chyou…” he glanced at her and said, “I want to know everything about her. She has targeted a lot of people to ruin me. I want to know just who the hell she is.”
“I am on it.”
Yating still had difficulty in believing all this. “Come on…this cannot be true. I have worked with Zhan Yahui for years. She cannot be evil…”
Cui Fen jolted when she caught Jun’s attention once again.
“Are you ready to open your mouth or shall I force it?”
She dropped down to her knees and begged him. “S-Sir please spare me! I really…I am really innocent. A-and it’s not like I don’t remember the story. It’s just e-everything is happening too fast,” she cried. “I am new here and suddenly this happened to me…This doesn’t mean that I am the culprit! P-please…I beg you not to ruin my career. Writing is my dream…I even fought with my parents to join Sky…I cannot afford to g-go down before I have even started anything,” she trembled.
Jun raised his brow in silence. His keen eyes stared at her for a long time before he said, “Get out.”
Cui Fen couldn’t believe her ears that he was letting her go. But she quickly stood on her knees and rushed outside as she still cried.
Yunru asked, “Bro why did you let her go? She will definitely take advantage of this time and read Huan’s novel. Next time when we ask her, she will be completely ready to answer anything related to the story.”
Jun narrowed his eyes. “I have a faint idea of what could happen next. I want to see if it does go that way or not…”
From the other side, he saw Ai and Guiying slowly stepping out of his office. Jun watched Ai carefully and finally amidst this rollercoaster of day, he felt a burden lift off his heart. Ai’s expression and her eyes clearly said how they had resolved the misunderstanding between them.
It was Zixin who ran past him like the wind and already appeared before Guiying. “Are ‘you’ alright? Does it hurt? Can ‘you’ stand properly? I should definitely take ‘you’ to the hospital.”
He said everything in one breath that Guiying didn’t find any chance to answer.
Ai answered. “Guiying is much better now.”
Zixin checked her from head to toe very carefully. “Are you sure? ‘She’ still looks weak.”
“N-No, I am alright! I-I don’t need to go to the hospital…”
Hearing that, Zixin immediately recognized that she was the real Guiying.
“I see. Then I am relieved.”
Ai glanced between the two and promptly left to give them some time alone.
Guiying lifted her gaze and properly looked at Zixin for the first time, not just as Chen Zixin but also MrPerfect.
The MrPerfect she was talking to the whole time.
The MrPerfect who made her feel cherished and loved.
The MrPerfect who was her loyal fan.
How…long has it been?
MrPerfect was right in front of her in the flesh.
Tears wetted her eyelashes once again, thinking about all those sweet memories she shared with him but the bitter misunderstandings that separated them too. Guilt washed over her heart for thinking that MrPerfect could ever think of betraying her.
Even now at this moment, it was only her image that reflected in his black irises.
But it also made her realize how much Zixin suffered because of her.
“Why are you crying?” Zixin anxiously asked, “You said you were fine. I knew it. I should definitely take you to the hospital.”
“No. It’s not that!” She lowered her gaze. “I just…If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have had to go through that terrible accident…”
Her body seemed to look even thinner and fragile than before. “You lost your memories, your family is also hurt because you don’t remember them. Somehow I feel responsible for all this. This wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t entangled with me-“
Zixin put his finger on her lips and immediately closed the distance between them, making her conscious of this closeness between them.
“You have suffered much greater than me. You were closer to her and she betrayed your trust. My tragedy is far less comparable than yours. You are a victim of her plotting. How can you blame yourself?”
Zixin withdrew his finger and gently held her hand. “My life is becoming normal even without my memories. My family also thinks the same. We just have to make new memories. A lot more memories than the past and a lot more happy memories which our past couldn’t have even thought of.”
He peered into her eyes and smiled. “I don’t know what sort of MrPerfect I was to you all this time. But I would like to become that version of MrPerfect who would never make feel you anxious again. I want to be someone you can wholeheartedly trust. I want to make those memories with you, Guiying.”
