Just when they were about to kiss each other on the lips, Qi Yan suddenly opened her eyes, which were dark and lifeless.

Before Pei Yuchen could react,

He felt a sharp pain from a blow to the side of his head, and as the world spun before his eyes, the cold muzzle of a gun was pointed at him, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Qi Yan regained his consciousness and saw the person on the ground clearly. His pupils shrank and he changed lanes in time.

'boom! '

After a loud gunshot, the bullet grazed Pei Yuchen's ear and shot into the thick carpet, burning a round bullet hole.

If it was even slightly off center, the bullet would have penetrated his skull and caused his head to explode.

Pei Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster.

Qi Yan stared at him gloomily, his clear eyes filled with hostility.

"Why so close to me?"

Qi Yan, who had just completed a large-scale mission five years ago, also has another nickname:

【Stress Danger Elements】

Her self-defense mechanism was not yet as advanced as it would be five years later.

It is extremely easy to hurt someone passively, especially when she is sleeping. If you get close to her casually, it is tantamount to seeking death.

Because you never know what she puts on her pillow or on her body.

This was the rule that everyone around Qi Yan knew five years ago, but Pei Yuchen was obviously overwhelmed and forgot about it.

"I……"

Pei Yuchen couldn't express his dirty thoughts and stammered.

"Do you want to die?"

Qi Yan, who was already irritable due to neuralgia, showed no mercy and kicked him in the head. Pei Yuchen quickly raised his forearm to block it.

"Calm down first..."

"Or--"

Qi Yan suddenly stopped and looked at him with her pupils lowered: "You want to assassinate me?"

Pei Yuchen's heart, which had just been lifted off his chest, fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces.

She is really good at guessing.

But yes.

Qi Yan now knew nothing about love between men and women, so how could she have thought that he wanted to kiss her secretly.

Pei Yuchen felt relieved, but when he heard her next words, he jumped up again.

"Did the Pei family really betray you? Is it okay for me to execute you on the spot?"

Qi Yan slowly raised the gun, without a trace of joking between his brows.

Pei Yuchen was really panicked this time. He raised his hands and forced a smile.

"This is all a misunderstanding. The Pei family has absolutely no intention of betraying the main family. I'm here to invite you to dinner, look."

He pointed to the food cart at the door and changed the subject.

"Five years later, you didn't react this much to me."

Pei Yuchen covered his waist which was hurt from the fall, supported himself on the carpet to get up, and patiently persuaded the child.

"You've accepted me more and are willing to fulfill the engagement, otherwise why would I come back? It was you who asked me to come back."

"You said..." Qi Yan clenched the gun tightly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. You forgot. You said you wanted to marry me."

Pei Yuchen's face was full of sincerity, and he was about to touch her cold cheek.

"You were planning to propose to me on the island, but when you were on your way here after completing your mission, an accident occurred due to the mission target, and our proposal ceremony was delayed."

Pei Yuchen pretended to be sad.

"Stop talking nonsense," Qi Yan turned her head to avoid his touch, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

It's true that she lost her memory, but she's not mentally retarded, and she can't make up a decent story.

Proposal?

It was something she would never do in her life, let alone to Pei Yuchen.

Impossible.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Pei Yuchen narrowed his eyes.

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, go ask the head of the family. You even specially customized an engagement ring for me."

"..."

"Do you remember?" Pei Yuchen stretched out his left hand and shook his ring finger.

"..."

At this moment, Qi Yan seemed to see a hand, and she was measuring the size of her fingers.

It seemed as if she was very close to the owner of that hand. She held her forehead with her hands, her brows tightly furrowed, and there was no more to say.

She did receive an email about the custom ring...

It was all too coincidental, alleviating the memory fragments so tangled that they had no logic.

Qi Yan looked directly into Pei Yuchen's eyes and spoke word by word.

"Are you setting a trap for me?"

Pei Yuchen: “…”

"And implanted some nonsense into my brain."

She didn't believe Pei Yuchen at all, nor did she believe the incomplete picture in her mind.

She would rather believe that it was all premeditated by the Elders Council from the beginning of the email.

To Qi Yan, anything this group of people did was not surprising.

Pei Yuchen, who did not get the desired result, choked and was shocked by her association, unable to speak for a while.

His little patience ran out, Qi Yan grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him out, speaking in a cold voice.

"Tell them to stop trying to control me."

After saying that, Qi Yan opened the door.

He raised his hand and threw Pei Yuchen directly onto the nearest guard. Both of them were knocked to the ground instantly, and Pei Yuchen was even more stunned.

Qi Yan's cold eyes swept over the guards who were trembling with fear and lowering their heads.

"You let people in without my consent?"

"..."

Everyone was as silent as a cicada.

"Come up with another group of people. Take your punishment and don't show up in front of me again."

"Yes."

The guards lowered their heads even more, and waited for the replacement guard to come and take Pei Yuchen away.

Qi Yan slammed the door shut, leaned against it, gathered up her hair, revealing her full forehead, and looked forward.

She had just dreamed again.

Add to that the fleeting memory fragments, could it be...

But as soon as this idea came to her mind, she choked it down.

I put the weight of my whole body against the door, closed my eyes, and gathered my thoughts.

Qi Yan is not a very stubborn person, but these are not things she should worry about right now.

And she was more inclined to believe that the Elders Council had tampered with her memory.

Those fragments passed by again.

Qi Yan's ears hidden under her hair were slightly red, and she covered her slightly hot face.

What a mess the Elders have injected into this.

That can't be her!

evening.

The busy Qi family was brightly lit, and everyone was doing their job. Qi Yan came to a hill in the west, where the most eye-catching thing was a large, antique theater.

"Miss, please come in," the waiter said with a flattering smile, "The master is waiting for you."

It is very lively outside the theater. Most of the people there are villagers who live in Qishan, in the mountains or at the foot of the mountains, and have lived here for generations. Most of the people who like to listen to opera on weekdays are elderly people.

And all of these old people knew Qi Yan's face.

To avoid unnecessary commotion, they went through the express lane.

Walk past the rockery and flowing water, and the bluestone and jade steps to reach the independent theater in the backyard.

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

"Living beings are suffering, and the people are in misery..."

Pushing the door open, I saw the actress dressed in jewels and precious stones on the red stage singing "Farewell My Concubine".

There was only one person sitting under the stage. Qi Yan sat down next to that person and looked at the female role on the stage without looking away.

"You're not going to sing Overlord's part today?"

"Aunt Feng."

Feng Yiren, who was crossing her legs, blew on the teacup in her hand, took a sip and said.

"Your Uncle Qiao sang very enthusiastically himself."
