135: On the eve of regaining memories
Huo Yunci was a man of action; the next day, he followed Gao Ying everywhere.
"You just returned to the country and aren't going to the company. Why are you following me?" Gao Ying looked at him helplessly.
"You ignored me all last night and let that brat Shangguan Hu hog you. You don't know how smug he was when he woke up this morning.
Today, you are mine." Huo Yunci held her hand, his eyes filled with grievance.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Aunt Flo is visiting, so you'll just have to wait." Gao Ying shrugged helplessly.
"Aunt Flo is here? Where? Should we go pick her up now?" Huo Yunci thought it was an elder visiting and was a bit nervous.
"Pfft."
Seeing him nervously straighten his clothes, Gao Ying couldn't help but laugh.
"Right, how would a big CEO like you know about our girl problems? By 'Aunt Flo,' I meant that I'm on my period." Gao Ying told him.
"Oh, I see. Does your stomach hurt? Is your back sore? Let's go back and rest." Although Huo Yunci felt a bit disappointed, Gao Ying's health was more important.
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy. You go back to the company first; I'll just wander around today." Gao Ying pushed him to leave.
"Alright, but call me if you need anything, and go back to rest if you feel unwell.
No, I'm still worried. The company won't go bankrupt anyway, so I'll just stay with you today." Huo Yunci still couldn't set his mind at ease.
Seeing him like this, Gao Ying had no choice but to let him follow.
These past few days, Gao Ying had been quite peaceful. No one came to disturb her, and even if they did, it was just hugging and cuddling, or at most kissing; nothing else could happen.
"Fugui, are you hiding something from me? Something about me?" For the past few days, Gao Ying had been having the same dream.
In the dream, there was a woman dressed in ancient attire who felt very lonely. She always meditated like someone from the cultivation world.
Every time she woke up, the dynasties outside were changing. In Gao Ying's dream, the woman was always a loner, not interacting with anyone.
【Sister, I really can't say, but since you've started having these dreams, you aren't far from knowing your true identity.】 Fugui didn't actually know Gao Ying's true identity either.
When he and Gao Ying were bound for the quick-transmigration mission, she was already in the modern world.
It was just that in the cultivation world, Gao Ying seemed to have remembered her identity at the very end.
But by then, the mission was completed, and the memories of that world were erased.
When she reached the next world, Gao Ying started over from scratch.
Gao Ying wasn't the type to overthink things; since she couldn't remember, she wouldn't force it.
During this time, she was plotting something—a huge surprise for her men.
Fugui was right; they were all proud sons of heaven, and she still needed to give them a title.
She called the Fourth Elder to ask how the construction of Lingyun Island was coming along.
Upon hearing that it was almost finished, Gao Ying told him to decorate it as a wedding venue.
Hearing that she wanted to get married, the Fourth Elder couldn't have been happier. He immediately agreed and promised to speed things up.
Gao Ying also bought 11 suits and a beautiful wedding dress from the system shop.
Actually, she hadn't really planned on keeping Jiang Ze; she thought she would send him back once she returned to the country.
But he looked at her with watery eyes, his voice breaking as he asked her what he did wrong, saying that as long as she told him, he would change it immediately.
Yutang, that girl, came to put in a good word for her idol, and in the end, he stayed.
However, in this villa, he was the only one who hadn't been intimate with Gao Ying yet.
Jiang Ze wasn't dissatisfied; for him, he was content just being able to see Gao Ying every day.
"Wait, why are we helping him?" Lou Jingyao asked with dissatisfaction.
That night, the eleven men gathered together, which was rare, and they were actually discussing how to get Jiang Ze and Gao Ying together sooner.
"Jiang Ze joining us is a done deal anyway, why are you fussing so much?" Huo Yunci rolled his eyes at him.
"No, this isn't like you guys. Tell me, are you hiding something from me?" For once, Lou Jingyao's IQ was online.
Xi Yan, Yin Lin, Yin Feng, Fu Sheng, and Heartless sat upright.
"I knew you five were up to no good. Hurry up and confess: what is it that makes you five want Jiang Ze and Ying'er to consummate their relationship so soon?" Lou Jingyao narrowed his eyes, looking at them dangerously.
"Shut up and just follow the plan." Xi Yan looked at him with annoyance.
Lou Jingyao wanted to say more, but Xia Yang and Gao Xuan covered his mouth.
Jiang Ze also wanted to know why they were helping him, but seeing their expressions, he knew they wouldn't say, so he gladly accepted their help.
Right now, being with the person he loved was the most important thing.
After discussing the matter, everyone went to rest.
"Big Brother Xi, can I know what you guys are hiding from us?" Xia Yang couldn't help but run over to ask.
"Do you want to marry Ying'er?" Xi Yan asked.
"I do, I dream about it all the time, but Sister probably wouldn't do that." When Xia Yang said this, his tone was full of disappointment.
"Ying'er indeed wouldn't marry any one of us, as that would be too unfair to the others." Xi Yan agreed with him.
But then he changed the subject: "However, if she marries all of us together, then it's fair."
Xia Yang looked up, shocked, and saw joy in Xi Yan's eyes. He didn't know how to describe his current feelings.
"So that's why you want Sister and Jiang Ze to be together sooner, so that on the wedding night, you won't have to worry about Sister choosing him." Xia Yang also guessed their intention.
After all, except for Jiang Ze, everyone else had already been with Sister, so the chances of Sister choosing Jiang Ze on the wedding day would be higher.
"As long as you understand, go back now." Xi Yan said and closed the door.
When Xia Yang left, Jiang Ze came out from around the corner.
He was very happy to know about the wedding. As for them worrying that Ying'er would choose him on the wedding day, that was completely overthinking it.
From his observations over the past few days, the probability of her choosing Yin Lin was the highest.
But that was fine too; at least he could be with the person he loved sooner.
The next day, only Gao Ying and Jiang Ze were left in the villa; they all found excuses to work overtime at the company and wouldn't be back until very late.
Jiang Ze didn't disappoint them; he prepared a candlelight dinner and drank red wine.
Both sides were interested, so what followed happened naturally.
However, when she was completely with Jiang Ze, the memories in Gao Ying's mind surged out like a beast breaking through a gate.
The consequence was that Gao Ying couldn't handle the impact and fainted.
This scared Jiang Ze quite a bit; he immediately got dressed and rushed her to the hospital.
