His fingers traced the back of her hand, and she felt an inexplicable tingle. It was like an electric current flowing through her heart, and Su Qian quickly retracted her right hand.

“What are you doing here?”

The smile in Lu Mingxiu’s eyes didn’t fade, and he just reached out to tuck the loose strands of hair on her forehead behind her ear.

“Qian Qian, you don’t even know how to take care of yourself. You’ve only stayed in the apartment for four days and drank so much. Why don’t you come back to Dijing Manor with me?”

Su Qian was speechless.

What was Lu Mingxiu’s problem? He actually called her Qian Qian? Even before Lu Mingxiu lost his memory, the two of them didn’t seem to be this close.

She pushed his outrageous hand away, and her expression was cold.

“I was living well before I met you. I didn’t need you to take care of me.”

Lu Mingxiu helped her up from the ground and pulled her into his arms gently yet firmly.

“Follow me back to Dijing Manor, and I’ll give you the painting.”

She then raised her head to look at him and said with a smile, “Young Master Lu, I thought you weren’t one to keep your word?”

“That’s for others, but I’m a man of my word for you.”

Su Qian was speechless.

Lu Mingxiu actually knew how to be a scoundrel? She could feel the change in Lu Mingxiu’s attitude towards her, but she didn’t think it was good.

She reached out to push him, but to her surprise, she couldn’t move him at all, so she simply gave up struggling.

“Lu Mingxiu, what are you trying to do?”

Lu Mingxiu reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye, “I want to recover my memory, and you’re the only one who can help me recover my memory.”

“I’m more useful than a healer?” she sneered.

“Of course!” He replied firmly.

Su Qian looked into Lu Mingxiu’s deep, whirlpool-like eyes, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

She had never been chosen by someone so firmly before. It shocked her, but at the same time, she also had a trace of fear of the unknown.

However, she quickly threw this strange feeling to the back of her mind.

No matter what, she had to get the painting and the divorce agreement.

Finally, she agreed to return to Dijing Manor.

…

As soon as they returned to Dijing Manor, Su Qian asked, “The painting.”

Lu Mingxiu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly chuckled, “You’re so straightforward it’s cute.”

Su Qian rolled her eyes.

Lu Mingxiu pretended not to see it, “The painting is in the study. Come with me to the study to get it.”

Lu Mingxiu handed her the original starry sky painting, and she took it and slowly opened it.

It was the first time he saw tenderness in her cold eyes. It was not the kind of smile that was hidden behind the clouds, but the gentleness that came from her heart.

“Is this painting important to you?” he asked softly.

When she heard Lu Mingxiu’s voice, the warmth in her tender eyes slowly faded.

“Young Master Lu, you ask too many questions.”

After she finished speaking, she took the painting and left the study.

Lu Mingxiu looked at her back as she left. As expected, he wanted her to look at him with the same expression.

A wise man would never fall in love, but he just wanted to pull her into the net of love.

The artist who signed off on that painting was Si Shaorong. It was said that she was extremely talented. Logically speaking, she should be world-famous. It was a pity that she died early and didn’t leave many paintings behind. Hence, she was not well known. Even so, it was undeniable that only a handful of people had better talent in painting than her.

At that moment, his phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was his brother, Lu Zhengqing.

“Zhengqing…”

Lu Zhengqing heard his slightly cold voice and sighed.

“Mingxiu, come back tomorrow. Grandfather and the others want to see you.”

“Do they want to see me, or are they here to warn me again not to compete with you for Huanyu Group?”

Hearing Lu Mingxiu’s slightly mocking voice, Lu Zhengqing shouted in dissatisfaction, “Mingxiu!”

Realizing that his voice was a little too loud, he softened his tone, “That’s not what Grandpa and the others meant. They just heard that you had a car accident and wanted to show their concern for you. They don’t have any other intentions.”

There was a faint smile on Lu Mingxiu’s lips, but one could clearly see that it was a cold and murderous smile.

“I know. I’ll return to the old Lu residence tomorrow.”

He hung up the phone and stood still in front of the window. Even the gentle moonlight could not dispel the coldness on his face.

…

The next day, Su Qian came out of her room and went to the dining table. She was surprised to see Feng Xuanmo alone today.

She subconsciously looked around.

Feng Xuanmo sipped his coffee and looked at Su Qian with a smile. He wasn’t surprised at all that she had appeared at Dijing Manor again.

“Are you looking for Mingxiu? He’s back at the Lu residence. ”

Su Qian felt a little embarrassed that she had been seen through, “No, I wasn’t.”

Feng Xuanmo did not expose her. Instead, he put down his coffee cup and sighed slightly, with a slightly sad expression.

“Do you think Dijing Manor is beautiful?”

Su Qian didn’t understand why he suddenly asked her this question, but she still replied, “The manor Lincoln designed is regarded as one of the most outstanding designs of the century. It’s comparable to a piece of art. How can it not be beautiful?”

“Unfortunately, in Mingxiu’s eyes, Dijing Manor is like a gorgeous cage… A cage that prevents him from escaping his fate.”

“What do you mean?” Su Qian asked with furrowed brows.

Feng Xuanmo stood up and didn’t answer her. He only gave her a mysterious smile.

“I’ve said enough to you. If you’re interested, you can ask Mingxiu yourself.”

After Feng Xuanmo left, Su Qian suddenly felt the food in her mouth become bland.

Fortunately, Song Baoyi sent her a message at this time, asking to meet up with her. Only then did she feel better.

Before she went to look for Song Baoyi, she planned to buy some cupcakes from Honey Lane.

There were cupcakes in Honey Lane that was highly sought after by many young girls. Song Baoyi was no exception. She was very enthusiastic and had recommended it to her many times. Unfortunately, she did not have a sweet tooth.

At Honey Lane, Su Qian immediately noticed that there was only one box of cupcakes left. Just as she was about to reach out for it, another hand snatched it away from her.

She looked at the young man beside her with displeasure.

“First come, first served, do you understand?”

Gu Qi, who was at the side, couldn’t help but be stunned. He subconsciously turned to look at Su Qian. Although she was wearing a mask, her eyes and that familiar voice brought him back to his senses.

“It’s you?”

Su Qian also didn’t expect that she would run into Gu Qi while buying cupcakes. She only said indifferently, “This box of cupcakes is mine.”

After Gu Qi heard this, he returned the box and said softly, “Sorry, that was rude of me… Yes, it’s yours.”

Su Qian was stunned.

Without a word, she took the cupcakes and left Honey Lane.
