Chapter 1576: Chapter 1574: Past and Present Lives 12
Chapter 1574
Zhao Junyao was a little confused.
"Didn’t you just arrive?"
"Is there anyone else besides you? Where’s the Empress?"
Wanxin: "..."
She took a shocked step back and began to look Zhao Junyao up and down once more.
She noticed his entirely cheap market stall outfit, his unkempt beard of who knows how long, his significantly thinner frame, and those unfamiliar eyes.
She couldn’t help but recall the horror stories of spooky events in underground parking lots.
She began to wonder if she had encountered a ghost or was experiencing some illusion.
Although the person in front of her had the same facial features as Ah Yao, his speech and actions were not those of her beloved fiancé!
In other words, the person before her was not Ah Yao at all.
But she couldn’t understand why the person knew her name?
"You... you’re not Ah Yao, who exactly are you? Why do you know my name?"
She pressed herself against the wall on the other side of the elevator, her legs turning to jelly with fear.
Meanwhile, Zhao Junyao had already inspected her entire attire.
Seeing her dressed in Another World’s style, with her hair, clothes, makeup, all ... even as Xia Ruqing’s close friend might say, looking ’fashionable’?
His previously feverish, excited mind gradually calmed.
The person before him might look like Wanxin, but she might not be Wanxin.
But she did say her name was Wanxin.
So... Zhao Junyao couldn’t help but wonder, is this her world of Another World?
He suddenly remembered Xia Ruqing’s warning: "Don’t let others know your true identity, or you’ll be in danger!"
He quickly put away his identity from Another World.
Assuming a proper smile, he then spoke softly.
"Miss, don’t be afraid; I have just recovered from a serious illness and am not yet used to the outside world!"
"Rest assured, I won’t harm you!"
Wanxin was frightened, but hearing him say that, a sliver of hope reignited in her heart.
"About what you just said..."
Zhao Junyao quickly shook his head to deny it.
"It was all nonsense. I... I often talk nonsense lately, maybe due to a head injury before, and I don’t remember a lot!"
Wanxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally not being so scared.
"So you were just seriously ill and injured!"
Wait a minute?
Wasn’t Auntie saying that Ah Yao also disappeared by accident?
Then the man in front of her was definitely Ah Yao without a doubt? Maybe he had an accident and was saved by someone else!
"Ah Yao?"
"You..."
Wanxin cautiously touched his arm to confirm he wasn’t a ghost and then rushed forward to hug him tightly, bursting into tears.
"Where did you go!"
"I thought I’d never see you again! You’re so careless!"
"How did an accident happen, and where did it occur?"
"How come you didn’t send any message back home!"
Zhao Junyao: "..."
Faced with his love’s counterpart from Another World, he felt a bit at a loss.
Hugging her, she wasn’t really his beloved.
Not hugging her, he couldn’t bring himself to be so cold-hearted!
After much hesitation, he gently pushed her away.
"Um... sorry, I can’t remember much, and I don’t recognize people..."
It’s not that he doesn’t remember; it’s just that the person before her had a change of heart, so he didn’t remember her anymore.
Saying that out loud would hurt her too much, so it’s better to keep it to himself.
Wanxin: "..."
She was heartbroken and didn’t know what to do. After a while, with tearful eyes, she said.
"It’s okay!"
"I’ll take you home!"
"I’ll have my uncle invite the best doctors to treat you!"
"Don’t worry!"
Zhao Junyao: "..."
Seeing how confident she was, she certainly wouldn’t mistake someone else for him.
After all this time, his body finally found his family.
That’s good!
Since he found the family, having occupied someone else’s body, he had to live up to the original owner’s identity.
That way, he wouldn’t have to stay with Xia Ruqing and them, nor be dependent on others anymore.
He could even pay back the silver he owed her, which would probably make her happy too.
After careful consideration, he nodded solemnly.
"That’s good!"
Wanxin excitedly rushed over again.
Just then, the compartment door opened again, and several people entered one after another.
Wanxin, ignoring others’ gazes, brazenly held him in her arms.
Zhao Junyao’s cheeks turned bright red, and he internally grumbled: Are all women in this world like this?
To be so improper in public, it’s simply...
He wanted to be disdainful for a moment, but looking at his ’beloved’s’ enraptured face and the people around pretending not to see anything,
He gritted his teeth and accepted it.
Haha, what else could he say? He could only say one thing: The original owner wasn’t short on blessings!
...
Wanxin decided to immediately take her fiancé back home.
Zhao Junyao intervened and said.
"Wait, I still have things to do!"
"What things?" Wanxin frowned.
Zhao Junyao explained the situation.
"Today I came here with two girls. They helped me a lot during my injury, and even paid my medical expenses in advance! It’s not polite to leave without a word; I need to let them know first!"
Wanxin hesitated for a long time before reluctantly nodding.
"Alright!"
"Then Ah Yao, where are they? I’ll go with you!"
Since they were two girls, she had to go there to assert her claim.
Zhao Junyao was somewhat confused.
He didn’t know how many times this small compartment had teleported, only remembered Xia Ruqing’s car park location and heard them say they would have a meal before going to the hospital.
After thinking for a while, he said.
"Let’s head back to the road first; they might be in the car!"
Wanxin nodded without speaking, taking him down to the first floor with the elevator and out of the building.
Sure enough, Xia Ruqing was looking around at the building entrance, and upon seeing Zhao Junyao come out, she hurried forward.
"You idiot, you can’t even keep up while walking, making us wait! Where did you go?!"
Her tone was naturally not pleasant; Zhao Junyao was already used to it, but Wanxin was not.
Her beautifully drawn almond-shaped eyes slightly lifted, releasing a cold glint from beneath her long lashes.
"How can you talk like that?"
Xia Ruqing was about to reach for Zhao Junyao when she heard Wanxin speaking, realizing a woman was standing next to him.
"Uh... huh?"
"Who are you?"
Not being someone who watched the news often, she couldn’t instantly recognize this girl dressed in designer brands.
It was Wenwen who excitedly pulled her aside.
"This is Miss Shih from the Shih Family!"
After whispering, Wenwen came forward.
"Miss Shih, I didn’t know you were coming suddenly, is there anything you need?"
Wanxin first disdainfully scanned them, then sneered.
"What do I need?"
"Actually, it’s nothing much; it’s about our Ah Yao!"
She affectionately linked her arm with Zhao Junyao’s, plastering a fake smile on her face.
"Our Ah Yao said it was you who saved him!"
"I came to properly thank you!"
"And to let you know, Ah Yao won’t be returning to that shabby place of yours anymore!"
