Chapter 01

Zuo Wen coldly repeated once more: "Go back to your room."

Yu Younuan furrowed her brows and, after a long pause, let out a low sigh, "Is it possible that you are my father's biological son, while I am the adopted one? Father wants you to return to your roots, but does not wish to hurt my feelings, which is why he forced me to marry you"

Yu Younuan shook her head. She and Zuo Wen had been married for ten years. What did Zuo Wen look like ten years ago? Yu Younuan automatically sketched a picture in her mind of a migrant worker coming to the city for work; no matter how handsome he was, he still needed clothes to complement his appearance

Yu Younuan then remembered that her mind had been injured, making it particularly fragile

It has only been ten years since the east of the river and ten years since the west of the river; the current Zuo Wen is no longer the poor boy of years past. Yu Younuan recalled the gossip tabloid that He Ningshu had "unintentionally" brought this morning, which featured rumors about Zuo Wen.

At such a late hour, the only person daring to knock on his door was Yu Younuan, without considering anyone else. Zuo Wen lay down on the bed, choosing to selectively become deaf.

"Is your head hurting a lot?" Zuo asked, lowering his head to inquire of Yu Youhuan, who was lying on his lap, and then turned to instruct the driver, "Drive faster."

The night can conceal a person's expression, allowing Yu Youhuan to speak some words that would make one blush without any restraint

As Zuo Wen opened the door, he intended to push Yu You Nuan out. However, Yu You Nuan stumbled backward and bumped into the door frame. A sharp pain shot through her head, and she instinctively raised her hand to touch it, but her eyes caught a glimpse of concern in Zuo Wen's expression.

"Can you dress yourself?" Zuo asked Yu You Nuan.

Before Yu Younuan could respond, she heard the sound of the main door opening. She immediately jumped down from the rattan chair and ran barefoot onto the road, and indeed saw Zuo Wen's car driving through the gate

Zuo Wen sat up and somewhat rudely pulled Yu Younuan up from the bed, saying, "Stop watching soap operas all day."

In the past year, Yu Younuan has seen numerous magazines and television shows, and has come across many male models whose physiques are comparable to Zuo Wen's, yet they all lack the charm that Zuo Wen possesses.

Yu Younuan blinked without being swayed, her long and curled eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a tiger swallowtail butterfly, her eyes still carrying the misty water hue of the bathroom, "Zuo Wen, do you not have any needs?"

Zuo Wen had just finished a conference call, returned to his room, took a shower, and then he heard a knock on the door

Formal attire always endows a man with a certain ascetic charm, yet a slightly opened collar can transform that ascetic allure into a languid appeal

What a rare beauty, He Ningshu sighed

At that time, Yu Younuan was bald, having undergone two craniotomies, which damaged his memory center. His life was as blank as a sheet of paper that had never been written on, waiting to be redrawn. He Ningzhu, on the other hand, was a nurse at Nuanren Hospital.

Yu Younuan closed her eyes and "glared" at Zuo Wen. This man truly cared about her well-being; she didn't know whether to feel happy or sad about Zuo Wen's kind of "humanitarianism"

Until Zuo Wen had finished his meal and entered the study, Yu Younuan was still contemplating this issue. In the end, Yu Younuan eliminated all impossible reasons, leaving only one possibility. Although it was hard to believe, numerous books tell us that if all other reasons have been ruled out, then the remaining reason, no matter how absurd it may seem, must be the truth

Zuo Wen quickly helped Yu You Nuan put on the cute little socks from the bottom of her feet, resolving it in just a few seconds. The entire process was completely devoid of the blushing and racing heart that Yu You Nuan had imagined; in Zuo Wen's eyes, she seemed just like a piece of wood.

Zuo Wen glanced at Yu You Nuan upon hearing this, saying, "Not bad." He continued to be sparing with his words

Yu Younuan gently unlocked the door to Zuo Wen's room with a key. The room was unlit, and she took a moment to observe the person lying on the bed by the light of the moon filtering through the window, before quietly making her way into the bathroom

Zuo Wen's eating speed has always been quite fast. While Yu You Nuan has not touched a single bite of her dish, he has already consumed two bowls of rice. "Your father is forcing you to marry me."

However, those are all things of the past, and Yu Younuan does not remember them anymore. She wishes to have a fresh start, as everyone who has survived great hardships deserves a brand new beginning, don't they

Moreover, Zuo Wen also got a pair of pants for Yu You Nuan to wear, quickly packing her into the car

Zuo Wen opened his eyes and sat up with some irritation

Yu Younuan looked through her photo album, where she appeared lively and outgoing, skiing, diving, horseback riding, hunting... there was nothing she didn't engage in. How could she possibly marry someone like Zuo Wen, a workaholic who works eighty hours a week?

Zuo Wen wanted to throw Yu You Nuan out, but considering that she was someone who had undergone two brain surgeries, he took a deep breath to calm his emotions and then said: "You Nuan, your body has not yet recovered"

However, when Yu Younuan came out of the bathroom, Zuo Wen had already lain down again, pretending to be asleep. Yu Younuan tilted her head slightly and tiptoed into Zuo Wen's dressing room, selecting a light blue shirt to wear, rolling the sleeves up to her elbows. Only then did she return to Zuo Wen's bedside, unceremoniously lifting the blanket and lying down beside Zuo Wen

Husband. Yu You Nuan stepped forward and linked her arm with Zuo Wen's.

Yu Younuan sat on the rattan chair, hugging her knees, with her chin resting on her knees. Her eyes were downcast, and her eyelashes cast a small fan-like shadow beneath her eyes. The sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the light green hem of her dress, resembling a priceless oil painting

Zuo stepped forward, placing his large palm on Yu Youwan's warm nape, "Did you hit it hard? Are you feeling dizzy, or do you want to vomit?"

Only after Zuo Wen heard the sound of Yu Younuan leaving did he open his eyes and rub his brow

Yu You Nuan, with tears welling in her eyes, reached out to press down the hem of her shirt and said pitifully, "No, I didn't wear it."

Zuo Wen closed his eyes and found that it was somewhat better not to talk to Yu Younuan. The unique body fragrance of Yu Younuan gradually permeated the clean air, causing irritation.

Yu Younuan appeared to be in so much pain that she could not speak, her body sliding down along the door frame. Zuo Wen lifted Yu Younuan up by the waist and placed her on the bed, freeing one hand to call the hospital

Yu Younuan jogged up without a care, cheerfully saying: "You came back quite early today."

"You haven't fallen asleep, have you?" Yu You Nuan propped herself up on her elbow, leaning beside Zuo Wen. The ill-fitting shirt gaped at the collar due to her movement, revealing a breathtaking expanse of snow-white skin.

Yu Younuan glanced at He Ningshu, whose ears were flushed with embarrassment and who was at a loss for what to do, and felt that she no longer needed such a companion.

I will take you to the hospital. Left asked if he could embrace Yu again, feeling warm.

If a woman is wrapped in a man's shirt without wearing anything else, and the man remains indifferent, then there is indeed a significant problem

Yu Younuan looked at Zuo Wen and asked, "Why did we get married back then?" It was unbelievable that she had married so early at the age of twenty.

Yu Younuan said with a tone that was neither startling nor casual: "I may have a problem with my mind, but my body is perfectly fine. You are my husband, and I should fulfill my duties as a wife." Yu Younuan leaned a little closer to the left.

"You Y暖, shall we talk for a while?" He Ning Shu said. Yu You Nuan's language skills have recovered quite well, and she no longer faces barriers in communication. She is an adult, and after enduring the most difficult first six months, the underlying memories beneath her adult intelligence and consciousness have aided her in quickly regaining her ability to live. Moreover, it has been nearly two years since the car accident.

Zuo Wen loosened his shirt collar again and said nothing

Yu You Nuan touched her head with her hand, her face full of pain, yet she still bit her lower lip and nodded firmly. This appearance of "a strong will despite physical disability," looking as if she could collapse at any moment, made Zuo Wen hesitate to press the patient further

Yu Younuan sat at the dining table waiting for Zuo Wen, who came down from upstairs after changing clothes and directly sat opposite Yu Younuan

Zuo Wen did not pay any attention to Yu You Nuan

Zuo Wen stepped down from the car, dressed in a tailored, fitted iron-gray bespoke suit, with the collar of his shirt slightly askew

Is it just because Zuo Wen is handsome

Yu Younuan looked at Zuo Wen, who would have thought that this elegant and noble man, who maneuvered through the business world with ease and commanded influence, came from an ordinary family

Yu Younuan watched as Zuo Wen went upstairs to change clothes. For such a long time, every word this man said to her hardly exceeded three characters. She was puzzled as to how she had married Zuo Wen in the first place. Zuo Wen was a poor boy, neither romantic nor eloquent; how did he manage to win her over?

"It is warm again," He Ning Shu gently called out, "Shall we stop reading here for today?"

The prolonged knocking finally ceased after receiving no response

However, Zuo Wen clearly let his guard down too soon, as he soon heard the sound of the key turning in the lock.

He Ning Shu raised her head from the book and looked at Yu You Nuan across from her. Yu's short hair was styled in a bob, making her appear as youthful as someone in their early twenties, a stark contrast to how she looked the first time He Ning Shu met her.

Pain! Yu You Nuan's tears came suddenly; with her acting skills and looks, she could easily play the leading role in a Qiong Yao drama.

After a half-second pause, Zuo Wen finally understood the meaning behind Yu Younuan's words. The corners of his eyes twitched as he said, "Wait a moment." Zuo Wen quickly returned from Yu Younuan's room, holding a delicate lace item in his hand.

Yu Younuan looked at He Ningshu and heard her say: "This is the list of your former friends. The information provided by Mr. Zuo is very detailed. Do you want to arrange a meeting with them?"

Yu Younuan bit the end of her chopsticks in a daze, could it be that Zuo Wen has never considered himself the master here?

Yu Younuan appeared sickly and listless; her head had long ceased to ache, yet her heart felt unbearably heavy. Her husband actually disregarded her feminine charm, especially after Yu Younuan had developed a profound interest in this taciturn man.

Zuo Wen furrowed his brows as he looked at Yu You Nuan's snow-white bare feet. He slowly and firmly withdrew his arm from Yu You Nuan's hand, letting out a faint "hm" as he walked towards the villa

Given Zuo Wen's current financial situation, it is quite normal to engage with female celebrities; not doing so would be abnormal. Yu You Nuan lowered her head, playing with her nails, and she could guess that there were likely significant issues in her previous marriage with Zuo Wen

"Go back to your room." Left asked, unable to pretend to be asleep any longer

The main seat at the dining table naturally became vacant. As Yu Younuan knew, her father had passed away for more than four years. Left Wen should have already upgraded to the male head of this hillside villa, but for more than a year, every time he had a meal at home, he sat opposite to himself

Yu Younuan's mouth was almost big enough to fit an egg, and without thinking, she exclaimed, "This is impossible!" Her father wasn't out of his mind to force his beautiful daughter—her—to marry a poor boy. What was her father thinking?

The sexiness of those male models indeed makes one want to ride on their waists, but the charm of Zuo Wen makes women not only want to ravage his waist but also desperately wish to capture his heart

Yu Younuan gently brushed her bangs with her index finger and said, "I changed my hairstyle today, what do you think?"
