They used to share a close mother-and-son relationship in the past. However, after all the unhappy events, they had grown rather distant from each other. It was truly rare to hear him apologize to her.

"You silly child. I really don't know what to say about you. Why did you make a will at such a young age? You've bequeathed all your assets and company shares to your wife and son, yet you only left your mother with an entitlement to a meager amount of monthly maintenance fees. Are your brains fried?" Mrs. Jin chided.

Jin Qingyan was stunned to hear that he had bequeathed all of his assets to his wife and son.

He began to wonder how much he actually loved his wife and son to have decided to make such an extreme decision.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Mrs. Jin asked with a frown.

"Mother, Brother is suffering from amnesia," Jin Qingyue blurted.

Mrs. Jin broke down into tears again and began bawling even more loudly.

There was no end to her tears and she could not get a grip on her emotions.

Jin Qingyue could not tolerate her overly-dramatic mother any further and interjected, "Mother, do you think you're a waterfall? Are you done crying yet? It's time to let Brother speak."

Mrs. Jin wiped the tears off her face with her hand and asked, "Okay, I'll stop crying. When did you come back? Quick, tell Mother, how did you survive and escape death?"

"…"

"…"

An Xiaoning had earned herself two more sets of parents, two brothers, and a sister after acknowledging the Jin and Lin families.

Once the ceremony ended, she continued to chat with them for an extended period of time since there were a lot to catch up on after not seeing them in so long.

Jin Qingyan and Jin Qingyue stayed behind at Mrs. Jin's place for a long while.

Even by the time An Xiaoning arrived home, they had still not returned yet.

"Young Madam, here's an invitation sent by Mr. Gu."

An Xiaoning grabbed the invitation to see that it was a wedding invitation.

The wedding was to be held a few days later.

If she remembered correctly, his wedding date was very close to that of Gu Dongcheng's.

The Gu family would be welcoming two daughters-in-law very soon.

It seemed they would be making the headlines.

An Xiaoning heaved a sigh as she sat on the swing with the invitation card in her hands.

She could only truly relax when she was alone.

She sat on the swing all by herself, with no one around to disturb her peace. She looked up at the sun, which disappeared gradually.

She watched as the sky turned dark slowly.

Yet another day passed.

Jin Qingyan only returned home at night.

"Where have you been?"

"I went to Mother's place and had dinner there."

"Why didn't you give me a call? Have you lost your intelligence along with your memory?" An Xiaoning chided.

"I don't have a mobile phone."

An Xiaoning turned around and made her way upstairs. He hurriedly chased after her, thinking that she was angry. To his surprise, he entered the bedroom to see An Xiaoning retrieving a brand new mobile handset from the drawer. It was the exact same model as the one he used previously.

"Here, your favorite mobile phone model."

Jin Qingyan took the mobile phone from her hand and took a look at it before asking her, "Have you had your dinner?"

"No, because I was waiting for you. Accompany me to have dinner," An Xiaoning said with raised brows.

"I've already eaten."

"I said, accompany me," she reiterated.

He had no choice but to follow her downstairs while holding the mobile phone in his hands. He sat down opposite her and stared at her while she ate.

An Xiaoning mixed her beloved dish, fermented beancurd in chili sauce, together with some white rice, which caught Jin Qingyan by surprise.

"Does that even taste nice?"

"Would I eat it if it doesn't? Auntie Chen prepared these for me because she knows it's my favorite dish. It's delicious."

"It doesn't look delicious at all. By the way, where's Yiheng?"

"He's playing opposite."

"Opposite?"

"Tianze's place."

An Xiaoning wolfed the food down hastily and choked on the food all of a sudden as a result of eating too quickly. Jin Qingyan hurriedly fed her some milk while patting her back to help her relieve the discomfort.

She drank the milk and gazed at him while he continued to pat her back gently.

"Easy does it. Eat slowly."

An Xiaoning pouted her lips and closed her eyes.

Jin Qingyan hesitated for a long while and did not reciprocate her invitation for a kiss.

She opened her eyes and continued to eat her food without uttering another word, as if nothing had happened at all.

However, she felt a tinge of sadness deep down in her heart.

If it had been in the past when he was not suffering from amnesia, he would have definitely kissed her back passionately at the sight of her asking for a kiss, instead of reacting the way he did earlier — hesitant and afraid, though she was not sure if he was afraid or simply unwilling to kiss her.

However, she was understanding towards his aloof behavior since things were different now.

Jin Qingyan returned to his seat and stared at An Xiaoning, who appeared rather upset.

He wondered if she was disappointed because he did not kiss her earlier.

Thus, he continued to sit in his seat and watched her eat.

When she was done with her meal, he realized that there were several grains of rice stuck on the corners of her lips.

He reached out to pinch the grains off her face, after which she stood up to bring her bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen.

She clutched her chest while standing by the kitchen cabinet.

Why did such a small gesture of his seem to take me back to the initial days of our relationship?she wondered to herself.

Since he doesn't know who I am right now, I might as well take it that I've just met him. It's not too bad an idea to start from ground zero, is it?

An Xiaoning smiled at the thought of her new perspective and turned around to exit the kitchen.

"Mommy, I'm home!" Jin Yiheng exclaimed gleefully and skipped towards the couch, where he sat down beside Jin Qingyan.

"Daddy, shall we continue playing that game?" he asked excitedly, completely unaware of his father's memory loss.

"What game?"

"This one. You were the one who taught me how to play it," said Jin Yiheng, handing him the gaming console.

"Oh, this." Jin Qingyan turned on the console instinctively and began pressing on the buttons to begin playing the first round of the game.

"I'm going upstairs to get some rest. Yiheng still has school to attend tomorrow morning," said An Xiaoning.

"Got it!" Jin Qingyan and Jin Yiheng chorused.

After watching An Xiaoning's figure vanish from the stairwell, Jin Qingyan asked softly, "Do you think your Mommy and I get along well?"

"No."

"No?" Jin Qingyan asked in astonishment.

"Yeah, you make Mommy cry every night and there'll always be a pile of tissues on the floor afterwards. I even hear Mommy begging you for mercy at midnight."

Jin Qingyan was greatly taken aback and began to wonder if he used to be a violent man.

"How does your Mommy beg for mercy?"

"Mommy always yells, 'Don't continue anymore… stop, I'm dying.'"

Jin Qingyan was shocked beyond words.

Didn't they all say that our relationship was going well? Otherwise, how could I have possibly bequeathed all my assets and shares to her and our son?

What was going on?

"Did we argue often?"

"No," Jin Yiheng answered while staring at the screen of the console.

They got into a physical fight without arguing?

Did I use to only resort to violence?

The puzzled and confused Jin Qingyan was filled with questions.

An Xiaoning had been waiting for Jin Qingyan to come upstairs so they could go to bed together. However, he had still yet to return to the bedroom even after a long time.

Thus, she decided to go downstairs to call them.

"It's getting late. Yiheng, go back to your room. Time for bed."

"Mommy, I want to sleep together with you tonight. May I?" asked Jin Yiheng.

"No," An Xiaoning refuted.

"Why?"

"Because I want to sleep with Daddy tonight. You can't sleep with us."

"Why do you ever only sleep with Daddy and not me…"

"No whys. Hurry and go to bed. Don't forget, you still have school tomorrow morning."
