His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

"You shouldn't admit to it," because I won't help you.

Chang Xiaoyang looked at Rong Mo deeply.

The drug he used was a mysterious substance such that different quantities used would produce different results.

When he was mixing the drug previously, he had reduced the quantity of a compound that would cause harmful effects to one's body.

That was probably the reason why the drug's effects were gone.

She still remembered everything.

The results gotten from Su Ya's investigations stated that Yan Zi was in a coma while Rong Mo had amnesia. While it was true for Yan Zi's case, Chang Xiaoyang knew that Rong Mo was faking it.

Rong Mo's face turned ashen. "What would happen if I admit to it?"

Chang Xiaoyang replied with a conflicted expression, "You know I won't let you off too."

Rong Mo's mouth cramped up before curling into a mocking smirk. "Have you let me off before?"

His gaze darkening, he then replied calmly, "No. Not in the past and not in the future either."

Rong Mo really wanted to leave but she had barely taken a step when his voice sounded out once more, "Do you really hate me?"

"Who are you?" Rong Mo replied indifferently before leaving.

Against Rong Mo's back view, Chang Xiaoyang's face was frighteningly pale as he put on a bitter smile.

He knew that this would be the outcome of things between them. Yet, when the day did eventually arrive, he still could not shrug off that tugging pain in his heart.

He thought about the days back in the villa, when she was so tenderly reliant on him as though he was her entire world. To him, those days of taking care of her were the best days of his life.

But there was never meant to be a happy ending for them.

The obedient young girl in his memories was destined to remain there.

If he hadn't hesitated back then and had truly given her the drug to forget everything, would she have followed the path he had set? If so, would the tender girl be smiling to him once again right now?

But all of those were if's, and not reality.

He would never forget the day when he fondled her head dearly and said to her, "Be good. Don't go anywhere and wait for my return."

But when he left, he had a feeling that she would definitely leave. Yet, he was betting on the hope that she had feelings for him; betting that she would choose to stay sensing something off about him.

Yet, he lost the bet.

Looking at Rong Mo's back view disappear from his gaze, he let out a forced laugh while he grabbed at his chest as though he was in deep pain…

That night, Chang Xiaoyang received a call from Su Ya.

"You said you bumped into Rong Mo? What's the situation? Has she truly lost her memories?" Su Ya's gaze was dark while her tone was cold.

"… Yeah, that seems to be the case," He hesitated for a moment and chose to hide the truth from Su Ya still.

"That's good."

Su Ya heaved a sigh of relief - she would not imagine the outcome if Rong Mo told everything to Shi Guang and Lu Yanchen.

Lu Yanchen was someone way more powerful than she was - given her brother and her current status in life, there was no way they could do anything to him.

Besides, she had to depend on Old Master Su's pity to not cut ties off with her entirely!
