After Losing My Memory, I Suddenly Had A Fiancée - Chapter 65

Afterward, Ji Fanghuai specifically went to B City.

Western Suburbs Cemetery.

Ji Fanghuai and Jiang Zhi stood in front of the tombstone.

Zhang Chunlian in Ji Fanghuai’s memory either ignored her or scolded her. The memories of being held and kissed as a child were too vague. She was like a tool person born specifically for gaining status. Since she became close to Jiang Zhi, she was further neglected, and the home was always filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Ji Fanghuai looked at the black and white photo on the tombstone. Thinking of her mother’s accidental death, she still felt sad, but the sadness was significantly diluted because of her memory loss.

She turned her head and asked Jiang Zhi, “Do you resent her?”

Jiang Zhi glanced at the tombstone indifferently, “No resentment.”

“You’re lying.” Ji Fanghuai clearly remembered that Jiang Zhi was often beaten and scolded as a child. Even she herself hated her mother back then, let alone Jiang Zhi.

“I was indeed very happy when she had the accident, but when I thought of you, I couldn’t be happy.” Jiang Zhi stood straight in front of the tombstone. She knew the pain of losing a mother.

“She passed away after you entered the ICU. After your father had his accident, she was looking for connections everywhere. She had a car accident because the truck on the road had brake failure and died on the spot.”

The black and white photo on the tombstone looked much kinder than in her memory. Ji Fanghuai’s fingers trembled slightly, and she asked with a hint of expectation, “Did she know I was in the ICU then?”

Jiang Zhi didn’t want to hide it from her and said, “She knew.”

Jiang Zhi had contacted Zhang Chunlian after Ji Fanghuai’s accident, but Ji Changnian had just been taken away by the police, and the company’s shareholders were causing trouble, so they had no time to worry about Ji Fanghuai.

Ji Fanghuai quickly withdrew her hand, and her eyes gradually became sore. She didn’t know how a mother could be so indifferent to her merely because of her gender.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

There was a hint of coldness in Ji Fanghuai’s eyes. She said, “Let’s go back.”

Ji Fanghuai went home and slept soundly, completely separating herself from the past. When she woke up, Jiang Zhi was fiddling with rings. Ji Fanghuai felt lightheaded and floated to Jiang Zhi, calling out, “Jiejie (older sister).”

Jiang Zhi lovingly stroked her forehead, “Did you sleep yourself silly again?”

Ji Fanghuai hummed softly, “I just like calling you Jiejie.”

Jin Lin said she didn’t dare to break the sisterly taboo, so she insisted on continuing to call Jiang Zhi her older sister.

Jiang Zhi didn’t quibble with her. Fanghuai calling her ‘Jiejie’ softly in bed was also very captivating. She reached out and hooked Ji Fanghuai’s waist, pulling her into her embrace. After a light good-morning kiss, she took Ji Fanghuai’s left hand and measured it, saying, “Freshly made wedding rings. See if there’s anything you don’t like.”

Ji Fanghuai looked at the pair of wedding rings that Jiang Zhi had carefully selected. The corners of her mouth curved, and she said contentedly, “I love them. Jiejie, put it on for me.”

“Okay.” Jiang Zhi solemnly put the ring on her. It was neither too big nor too small, the perfect size. Ji Fanghuai also solemnly put the ring on Jiang Zhi.

A promise was added to both of their ring fingers, which felt somewhat weighty.

Jiang Zhi had worried earlier that Ji Fanghuai would be very sad after returning from the cemetery. All night, Ji Fanghuai had been soft and obedient, and Jiang Zhi’s heart had been constricted. Now seeing that she was fine, she felt much more at ease.

To distract her, Jiang Zhi played a promotional video from a photography studio and said, “We’ll go take wedding photos later. This studio has a good reputation. See if there are any styles you particularly like.”

Ji Fanghuai was interested and said, “I want to wear a suit, a wedding dress, a bride’s gown from the Republic of China era, and the even older traditional Chinese wedding dress looks beautiful too.”

She imagined them both wearing identical outfits. They would look perfectly matched just by seeing them, the only flaw being that she was much shorter than Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi nodded and said, “Then let’s make an appointment and find time to take the pictures.”

After Ji Fanghuai and Jiang Zhi finished their research, Ji Fanghuai said, “I’m going to eat hot pot with Mianmian later. Do you want to come along?”

Jiang Zhi shook her head and said, “I won’t go. I’m afraid you won’t be able to relax. Miss Lin doesn’t seem to like me very much.”

Ji Fanghuai said with a touch of possessiveness, “You’re her former boss and her best friend’s wife. If she liked you, that would be unacceptable! Only I can like you.”

Jiang Zhi smiled as if she had achieved her goal.

Ji Fanghuai took the opportunity to straddle Jiang Zhi’s lap and actively kissed her. Jiang Zhi’s eyes were glistening and wet. If it weren’t for Xixi still being nearby and Ji Fanghuai needing to go out soon, she really would have wanted to do something R-rated.

Jiang Zhi wiped her lips and said, “Come back early.”

Lin Mianmian was already waiting in the private room of the hot pot restaurant. The moment she saw Ji Fanghuai, she felt that something was different. She spoke quickly, “Fanghuai, why do I feel like you’re a little different today?”

Lin Mianmian felt that Ji Fanghuai had matured.

Recently, having been too corrupted by suggestive materials, she instantly thought of the unmentionable aspects. Those books said that people who have been nourished by love and affection would be different. It seemed to be true.

Ji Fanghuai was slightly stunned. She had regained part of her memory, as if she had gained a new period of life experience, adding some depth, so she certainly wasn’t the same as before.

“Because I remembered.”

Lin Mianmian suddenly felt ashamed for her dirty thoughts and defensively urged Ji Fanghuai to order. She had already ordered a half-and-half pot base, and the red oil soup was bubbling, releasing a tantalizing aroma that whetted the appetite.

Lin Mianmian: “No wonder you look different.”

Ji Fanghuai randomly ordered some vegetarian dishes. Thinking that Jiang Zhi still couldn’t eat hot pot, she felt a little sorry for her. She handed the ordering machine to Lin Mianmian and said, “I think I’m still the same, just with a few more things in my head.”

Lin Mianmian added some side dishes she liked and said, “No way, I think you’ve matured a lot.”

Ji Fanghuai asked seriously, “Was I very naive before?”

Lin Mianmian also replied seriously, “Although not naive, you used to look like a fresh college graduate.”

She was surprised when Ji Fanghuai got engaged.

Ji Fanghuai thought, No wonder I fell for Jiang Zhi’s trick so easily. However, she was still very happy to be called young by Lin Mianmian. Afterward, the waiter brought the dishes one after another.

Ji Fanghuai mainly ate from the clear broth side, while Lin Mianmian liked the red oil side.

Ji Fanghuai said, “Speaking of which, how are things between you and Xin Ling?”

Lin Mianmian was eager to distance herself. She didn’t even have time to chew the tripe she had just picked up. She said, “How could anything be going on between us? She’s the client/sugar daddy, and I’m just the humble vendor. But lately, her demands are getting more and more excessive, and the compensation is getting higher, which is starting to scare me.”

Ji Fanghuai asked with interest, “What are you afraid of?”

Lin Mianmian said bluntly, “She keeps showing me those explicit stories lately. I think she has ulterior motives.”

Ji Fanghuai had long suspected Xin Ling had ulterior motives for Lin Mianmian, but Jiang Zhi said that Xin Ling didn’t toy with people’s feelings, so she didn’t intervene. She said, “What are your thoughts on that?”

Lin Mianmian swallowed the tripe and said, “I have no thoughts. I’m just a ruthless money-making machine.”

Ji Fanghuai smiled without speaking.

Lin Mianmian recently spent most of her time revolving around Xin Ling and had a strong urge to complain about her. She said, “And I only recently found out that Xin Ling likes extreme sports. I’m so afraid of death; we’re definitely not on the same path.”

Ji Fanghuai disagreed, “But if you were on the same path, you’d feel like you’re too similar and couldn’t spark any interest. The reason you’re different is precisely what can create friction.”

Lin Mianmian didn’t say anything, perhaps thinking of something.

Ji Fanghuai said, “Actually, I wanted to ask if you know of any custom-writing channels for those stories?”

Lin Mianmian, as an illustrator who has been active in the ACG subculture for a long time, knew a lot. She said, “There are many custom-written ones online. Xin Ling’s writing is too subtle.”

Ji Fanghuai was surprised, “This is considered subtle?”

She had thought it was very explicit before, though that was probably related to how reserved she had been during this period.

Lin Mianmian asked strangely, “Why do you, someone who has an active sex life, need these?”

Ji Fanghuai felt her skin had thickened considerably. Without blushing, she said, “To seriously study a certain technique.”

Lin Mianmian: “…”

Ji Fanghuai quickly took a shower after returning home. She reeked of hot pot, and she was afraid Jiang Zhi would crave it. However, even after showering, she couldn’t stop Jiang Zhi’s craving.

After a vigorous session with Jiang Zhi, Ji Fanghuai somewhat regretted, “I should have agreed to Jie-jie earlier. Thinking about it now, I was simply wasting time.”

The flush on Jiang Zhi’s face had slightly subsided, and she hadn’t fully recovered yet, “Wasting what time?”

Ji Fanghuai lamented, “Wasting six years of good time.”

When Jiang Zhi first confessed to her, she was only twenty. After delaying for so long, they finally officially got together. If Jiang Zhi hadn’t tricked her, it might have taken even longer.

As much as she hated Jiang Zhi for deceiving her before, she was now equally grateful that Jiang Zhi had tricked her while she had amnesia, giving their relationship a turning point.

However, deceiving people was still wrong.

Ji Fanghuai cupped Jiang Zhi’s face and asked, “Jiang Zhi, if you were given another chance, would you still lie to me?”

Jiang Zhi’s eyes were full of tenderness and affection. She said seriously, “Yes.”

Ji Fanghuai looked ready to cross-examine her, asking curiously, “Why? Knowing that I would be very sad if you lied to me, why would you still continue to lie? Do you not love me anymore?”

Jiang Zhi was preoccupied and couldn’t focus on serious matters, but Ji Fanghuai, like a little enchantress, kept teasing her. She struggled to concentrate and replied, “Because when I thought it wasn’t meant to be, I could only force it. Fanghuai, are you going to do it or not? If not, it’s my turn.”

Ji Fanghuai was afraid Jiang Zhi would change her mind, so she quickly put her concerns aside.

“Do it, do it, do it.”
