Chapter 936: 922. Why does it taste a little different (3) Chapter 936: 922. Why does it taste a little different (3) Jian Luo felt as if he had been struck by lightning as he looked into Jian Qingâs puzzled eyes, and lost his ability to speak.
How could his sister have forgotten about Quan Jingwu? What in the world was going on?
âJian Qing, did you hit your head when you jumped off the cliff?â Finally, Bai Jue saw the clue. As a doctor, he had seen this most often; Jian Qingâs current reaction was quite similar to amnesia.
âBai Jue, what do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that I have amnesia?â Jian Qing lifted her eyes to look at him and asked straightforwardly.
âAlso, whatâs this about me jumping off a cliff?â
âAmnesia, how is that possible? I clearly remember everything about us.â Jian Luo couldnât believe Bai Jueâs words, yet deep down he felt he had no choice but to believe them.
Otherwise, how could he explain his sister not remembering Quan Jingwu?
âJian Qing, can you first tell us where youâve been these past three months?â Bai Jue calmed down and asked carefully.
âIâm not sure. When I woke up, I was in a villa, and the owner of the villa was called Shen Yan. He seemed to recognize me, and he said he saved me,â Jian Qing said. âWhen I said I didnât recognize him, he was shocked. The doctor said it was a sequela from the injury, causing a loss in part of my memory.â
As his suspicions were confirmed, Bai Jueâs face showed a touch of realization.
âSis, have you really lost part of your memory?â Jian Luo asked incredulously, âThen what do you remember?â
âI only remember that I returned to Beijing, planning to take revenge on the An Family, but I canât recall anything that happened after that,â she said truthfully.
Now, Black Jack couldnât remain calm either.
From the looks of it, Jian Qing hadnât just forgotten Quan Jingwu; she couldnât remember anything that had happened since arriving in Beijing.
âBai Jue!â Jian Luo instinctively looked to Bai Jue, âQuickly check on my sister.â
No wonder his sister had called him and hadnât informed Quan Jingwu.
If Quan Jingwu knew that his sister had forgotten him, even thinking about the consequences felt bleak.
âLetâs not rush, first tell me why I would jump off a cliff,â Jian Qing said.
Jian Luo said, âSis, we also want to ask you why you jumped off the cliff. You disappeared for more than three months, and we were almost going crazy looking for you.â
âJian Qing, look at the ring on your hand. Do you really not remember Quan Jingwu?â Black Jack, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.
âQuan Jingwu? Who exactly is he, and why do you keep mentioning him?â Jian Qing lifted the ring on her hand, âDoes this ring have something to do with him?â
âSis, thatâs your wedding ring,â Jian Luoâs voice couldnât help but rise, âItâs your and Quan Jingwuâs wedding ring. Quan Jingwu is your husband!â
His words struck Jian Qingâs heart like a bolt out of the blue.
What?
Wedding ring, husband?
How had she woken up to find herself a married woman?
She turned her gaze swiftly to the ring on her hand, which under the light, gleamed with a dazzling brilliance.
Uh⊠her wedding ring?
After a while, Jian Qing still couldnât digest the news.
Just how much had she forgotten? She was even married.
âSis, do you not remember Seventeen and Nineteen either?â Jian Luo asked perseveringly.
Jian Qing came back to her senses, âSeventeen and Nineteen?â
âYeah.â
âWho are they?â
âYour children.â
ââŠâ
Another bombshell dropped, and Jian Qing felt faint.
Having a husband was shocking enough, but now to have children too? What on earth had she done?
âLuoluo, are you sure youâre not joking with me?â
Jian Luo scratched his head, feeling a headache coming on, âSis, how could I possibly joke about something like this? Youâve been gone for over three months, and Quan Jingwu has been nearly going insane.â
Upon hearing the latter part of his statement, Jian Qing felt her heart clench painfully.
Her face turned pale as she clutched at her chest, her brows furrowed tightly.
âJian Qing, whatâs wrong?â Bai Jue asked with concern, noticing her ashen complexion.
âMy heart hurts.â
Her voice was extremely soft, as if she was murmuring in her sleep.
Bai Jue was confused for a moment, âWhat do you mean?â
Jian Qing shook her head, saying nothing.
âJian Qing, you should rest for now, we can talk about other matters tomorrow,â Black Jack said in a gentle voice, seeing the exhaustion in Jian Qingâs eyes.
Jian Luo caught his hint and, looking at Jian Qingâs pale face, chimed in, âSis, youâve just come back and must be very tired. Rest first, weâll talk more tomorrow.â
âNo, tell me about the things that happened after I returned to Beijing,â she added at last, âand about⊠about anything related to Quan Jingwu.â
Waking up to find not only a husband but also a child, she couldnât sleep at all without clearing things up.
Jian Luo looked to Black Jack and Bai Jue, who nodded, and then he began to tell Jian Qing about what happened after she returned to Beijing.
In particular, they described to her, in vivid detail, the matters between her and Quan Jingwu.
The dark night was another sleepless one.
As dawn broke and the mist dispersed, all was silent.
After listening to the three of them all night, Jian Qingâs head felt heavy and dizzy.
She leaned on the couch, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Quan, Jing, Wu!
âSis, have something to eat,â Jian Luo brought over a bowl of Seafood Porridge, placing it in front of her, âIf you canât remember, then donât force it. With Bai Jue here, youâll eventually recall everything.â
After a moment, Jian Qing opened her eyes, picked up the bowl, and spooned a mouthful into her mouth.
The sweetness of the seafood blossomed on her taste buds, and she frowned.
âThis tastes a bit different.â
She herself was taken aback after blurting out those words.
âThereâs nothing different about it, Sis. Donât you always like eating Seafood Porridge?â Jian Luo picked up a bowl, took a taste, and said.
Jian Qing looked down at the steaming bowl of Seafood Porridge and pursed her lips.
She wasnât sure why, but it felt as if the Seafood Porridge in her memories didnât taste like this. Although the porridge was delicious, it seemed to be missing something.
From the side, Black Jack seemed to catch onto something, his gaze falling on the Seafood Porridge in Jian Qingâs hands.
He spoke in a low voice, âJian Qing, Quan Jingwu often cooked meals for you, including Seafood Porridge.â
Jian Qingâs eyes widened slightly, her emotions growing even more complex.
Upon hearing Black Jackâs words, Jian Luo suddenly grasped the meaning behind Jian Qingâs earlier remark.
It turned out that even if his sister had forgotten Quan Jingwu, everything about him was etched into her marrow, indelible and unerasable.
Even an inadvertent remark revealed that she was still thinking of Quan Jingwu.
That bowl of Seafood Porridge was the best proof that only the porridge cooked by Quan Jingwu was the flavor she remembered and longed for the most.
âSis, eat up. Once youâre done, weâll head back to Beijing,â Jian Luo patted her shoulder, comforting her.
Being twins, he naturally sensed the slight panic and restlessness hidden deep inside her strong facade.
Jian Qing hummed in acknowledgment, took a couple of bites of the Seafood Porridge, then put the bowl down.
Seeing that most of the porridge was still left in her bowl, Jian Luo and the others remained silent.
