Early that morning, Tian Ruyi arrived in the hospital to check on her friend. She was hoping that the man who scared her to death yesterday would have gone back to wherever he came from. She pushed the door open only to discover another world inside. The atmosphere in the room was different than how she left the place yesterday.

In front of her, she saw Yong Liwei, feeding Lu Mengjie with a gentle smile plastered on his lips. He looked like an angel. He was different than how she remembered him. It was as if he turned into a different person. Were her eyes deceiving her? Where was the dark, evil person she met yesterday? Could he have a split personality?

Noticing her presence, Lu Mengjie turned to her and smiled, "Yiyi, you're here."

"Y… yeah…" she mumbled. She forced out a smile as she avoided the attention she received from the man in the room. Her eyes were only locked to her friend. "I brought you some fruits.'

"You didn't have to. The doctor said that I can be discharged today."

"Oh…"

Lu Mengjie somehow noticed that Tian Ruyi was awfully quiet, not the usual talkative friend she was. There was this strange awkwardness around her. She glanced at Yong Liwei who seemed to be ignoring the other woman. Did something happen between them?

"By the way, Yiyi, let me formally introduce my boyfriend to you," she began.

"Boy… friend?" Her eyes went wide in surprise. "Not… husband?" Her face brightened up for some reason. She couldn't stop herself from sounding delighted. Bai Jingye has a chance!

Yong Liwei threw a shrewd glare at the woman who was standing in the middle of the room which instantly sent shivers down her spine.

"Not yet," his voice sounded so domineering that Lu Mengjie ended up looking at him.

Did they have an argument while she was unconscious back then?

She cleared her throat and continued with her introduction, "Tian Ruyi, meet Yong Liwei, my boyfriend-"

"Fiance," he suddenly interrupted, correcting her.

Fiance?

She turned, wrinkling her nose at him. "Dude! You haven't even proposed to me yet!"

"Dude…?" He arched a brow at her. His deep voice resonated in the room, flowing in a seductive pulse to her.

She coughed once and averted her eyes away from his sharp, intense gaze. No way was she going to call him 'Daddy' in front of others!

"B-by the way…" Lu Mengjie stuttered, turning her gaze to Tian Rui. "I don't want to stay here any longer. I want to go home."

"If you're fine now then, I'll be settling the discharge papers for you." She rather trusts Lu Mengjie's words instead of Yong Liwei's. If she said that he was her boyfriend then what he just said was a lie. She went and placed the food she brought on the table. "Well then, if you'll excuse me."

Tian Ruyi didn't want to stay in the room any longer. She wanted to avoid Yong Liwei's dark glare so the moment she placed the food on the table, she quickly left the room.

As Lu Mengjie was left with him. She gulped nervously and was feeling awkward.

Yong Liwei sighed heavily and decided not to dwell on such a childish problem. "By the way, your friend told me that you didn't want to meet your family yet. Is that true?"

"Yes." It was not like she didn't want to, it was more like she wanted to settle the things she should focus on at first. She smiled a bit, finally drawing her eyes back to him as she continued, "I want to focus on getting back my memories."

"Won't it be faster for you to get back your memories if you meet them?"

"Maybe. But Liwei, I'm pregnant." If she remembered correctly, she was not married, and if her parents learned that she got pregnant out of wedlock, who knew how they would react? She rather not take the risk of doing so. Aside from that, she still has to find the truth on how she lost her memories, right? She still has to help Bai Jingye and Tian Ruyi as promised. She still has to take care of the child that was growing inside her. She didn't want her problems to pile up. One by one, she wanted to solve them.

"Ah…" He was quiet for a while as he seemed to be thinking of something. As seconds ticked by, he opened his mouth again and spoke, "I won't be able to stay here for long. I need to go back to the mainland next week for work."

She suddenly remembered that Yong Liwei's time was not easy to get a hold of especially when he was a busy person. Lu Mengjie couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"It would be easier for us to be together if you will come back with me but I guess you won't since you still have some matters to settle with the Bai family, correct?"

She nodded a bit. "I have to learn the truth from Bai Keran. I'm sure he's hiding something." Even if that old man took advantage of her amnesia, she still couldn't help but think that there was something else. What if he actually knew the truth behind her accident?

Yong Liwei landed his eyes on her baby bump. He became quiet for a while once again that Lu Mengjie couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his mind so she questioned, "what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Her lips were stretched into a straight line upon hearing his answer. It was an answer that she didn't like hearing at all especially when it was already obvious enough that there was something else going on in his mind. "You're lying. Is it about my pregnancy? Are you still doubting that you're the father?"

He sighed. He stood up and turned his back on her as he went to place the empty containers on the table. By doing so, the complicated look in his eyes wasn't seen by her.

Knowing that she wouldn't be receiving any answers from him, she gave up on the question, and instead, she decided to change the topic just so the heavy atmosphere in the room could be lifted. "When are you coming back?"
