Chapter 283 I Came to City A to Be With You

Mu Zhi could only answer awkwardly, “Hahaha, what does that mean? Mr. Xie, you have never allowed me to go to City A. How would I know if City A is fun?”

“Open the door, I am standing outside.” Mu Zhi wanted to continue her pretense, but right after Xie Xiu had spoken, the doorbell rang. Her whole body tensed up at the sound.

She rushed to the door and pulled it open and saw that Xie Xiu was looking at her intently.

Mu Zhi released her breath and smiled, “Hahaha, this is such a coincidence.”

“You’re not here for me?”

His mouth curved up, giving her a forgiving smile. He then looked past and fixed his gaze on the child standing behind her.

“Eric, why didn’t you watch over your mother? How can you let her come here?”

Eric became attentive and stood straight. He went to Xie Xiu’s side and said, “Daddy, I… I missed you, so I asked Mommy to come here to look for you.”

Eric had always been unwaveringly loyal to his mother since he was very young.

Xie Xiu looked at Eric sternly and then at Mu Zhi. They thought that he would scold them, but he didn’t. Instead, he walked into the room and took Mu Zhi’s luggage without another word.

“My driver and bodyguards did not come up with me, so I hope you do not cause any trouble. Now, let’s go downstairs.”

As he had given an order, Mu Zhi could not stay in the room even if she wanted to.

She could only pack up her things and followed him out of the room.

They went into the lift to go down. Then, she followed Xie Xiu into his car.

Eric did not get into the car with them. He had his own driver.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhi was in a car driven by Xie Xiu himself.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, Xie Xiu put his other hand on top of hers, saying, “Do you feel anything after coming to City A?”

Mu Zhi shook her head.

She definitely could not tell Xie Xiu about her ongoing therapy. She wanted to surprise him one day.

“Now that Eric is not here, can you tell me why you came to City A?”

Xie Xiu asked with a smile.

Mu Zhi glanced outside the window before turning to Xie Xiu. “Obviously, to find out whether you have a mistress here! You never let me come to City A. Are you hiding a mistress here?”

Mu Zhi said jestingly.

Xie Xiu smiled and held her hand more firmly, “Would it bother you?”

“So, do you have a mistress?”

Mu Zhi looked at Xie Xiu and asked earnestly.

Her eyes were pure and innocent. Xie Xiu could not bring himself to lie as he looked at her, so he turned his gaze back to the road and said, “I have only you in my heart. When you appeared in my life,

there is no room for anyone else.”

That was indeed the truth.

There was only her in his heart.

But Mu Zhi did not know that the heart and the body were separate matters. There were certain aspects of Xie Xiu that she could never understand.

Moreover, she had never been able to read his real thoughts.

His confession had delighted her, so she did not question him anymore.

Xie Xiu brought Mu Zhi to a restaurant to savor the local cuisine. As she ate the delicious food, they felt strangely familiar.

So she asked Xie Xiu. He explained that it was because she was a foodie and the food was too delicious.

As she could not remember ever having those food before, she didn’t dwell much into it.

Still, she didn’t know why, but she felt good about City A.

After dinner, Xie Xiu brought Mu Zhi back to his home.

Late at night, after Eric was asleep, Mu Zhi was still sitting on the bed and focused on reading a book. At that moment, Xie Xiu opened the door gently and entered.

He looked at Mu Zhi tenderly and asked, “When will you go back to the US?”

At his question, Mu Zhi set the book aside and moved to sit beside Xie Xiu. She looked up at him and said, “Can I don’t go back?”

“Why?” Xie Xiu asked. He was genuinely curious.

Mu Zhi’s gaze was completely sincere, and she said, “Because you are here.”

Her words moved his heart for a moment.

He turned an intent gaze on her and observed her carefully. He held her hand gently and seated himself by her side.

He smiled and said, “But this city is not suitable for your recuperation.”

For the past few years, Xie Xiu hired doctors to help Mu Zhi search for her memories, but only in the US.

This created an illusion that he was helping her to recover.

At his words, Mu Zhi’s eyes became dejected. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She looked at Xie Xiu carefully and bit her lower lips before saying, “We have been searching for my memories for five years. In these five years, I have pretty much walked on every street in the US but couldn’t find even a trace of memory. I couldn’t remember any of the good memories from our past.”

“I don’t want to keep searching for them anymore. I am thinking that since I can’t recall the memories of our love, let us start our love afresh from now on.”

“You are always in City A, so I want to be here to be with you.”

Those words could move anyone’s heart. Even Xie Xiu was moved for a moment. He enveloped her into his embrace and said to her earnestly, “You can stay here with me for a week. You have to go back after that. Is that okay?”

“Not ok.”

Mu Zhi rejected it immediately but playfully.

Xie Xiu made another offer, “Two weeks then.”

Two weeks would allow her to be with Xie Xiu on his birthday.

However, Mu Zhi still felt that it was not enough.

“Can’t it be a little longer?” Mu Zhi asked with a frown.

Xie Xiu looked at Mu Zhi sternly and said, “No.”

“Alright then…”

I will start with two weeks, then come up with something when the time comes!

Mu Zhi thought.

…

When Lu Jinye received the phone call from Mu Zhi, he was very far from her.

After Mu Zhi hung up, he called her, but his calls were not answered. So, he immediately called Linda and rushed to the hotel where Mu Zhi was.

However, at the hotel, he was informed that the guest had checked out of the room.

He investigated the check-in details and discovered that it was a woman named Yan Shu who had checked-in.

Yan Shu did not look like Mu Zhi at all.

Even plastic surgery could not explain the different appearance. It was not to say that the woman was unattractive. It was that her bone structure was different from Mu Zhi’s.

However, he still contacted Yan Shu at the first chance.
