Shen Zhao raised his head, staring sharply at Mu Yanchen who was so close to him, and changed the subject, "Although I have thought so, I think about it again, I actually have nothing to lose, and,"

Her voice suddenly became colder. "Your life is still in my hands. You also know that your disease is difficult to treat. If another doctor had more than 20% chance of success, you might not bet your life on me."

This was the last bit of stubbornness she could hold in her hands. She knew she couldn't fight them, but deep down she still had hope for Mu Yanchen's feelings.

One never steps into the same river twice, right?

Mu Yanchen grabbed her hand tightly, pressing it against her heart with such force that she could not resist, "Listen."

He said so.

Shen Zhao wanted to struggle but to no avail. He took control of the conversation with unquestionable force, "Let go!"

Shen Zhao glanced at him, and he seemed to feel the heat in his eyes.

"listen!"

He held her hand stubbornly, letting her feel his still beating heartbeat. His eyes were filled with bloodshot at some point, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red, like kapok flowers in early spring, full of persistence.

Shen Zhao could feel the still hot and strong heart beneath his thin chest. Every beat spread from the palm of her hand to the tip of her heart, as if it was beating there.

His voice was hoarse, low but powerful. "Do you feel it? This is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have died a few days ago!"

"I've said it before, that person..." Mu Yanchen stared at Shen Zhao with a complicated expression. There was an emotion in his pupils that Shen Zhao couldn't understand, sad but helpless. "She's dead, but I must find the person who killed her. And you, I treat you sincerely. If I'm really false, then you will put an end to the excitement here with your own hands."

"Anyway, these days were stolen by me, so I should be thankful."

Mu Yanchen could feel Shen Zhao softening. She no longer resisted him as before. He used a little force to pull her into his arms, gently placing his hand on her exposed back, carefully soothing her emotions.

"Now, have you calmed down? This is the Mu family of Shengjing. Don't take anything that anyone says here to heart, no matter whether it's true or false."

Shen Zhao buried his face in his chest and said sullenly, "I've heard your reminder a long time ago. If I really enter this environment, I will still be influenced by them."

She raised her head, her eyes misty, "This settlement is settled, is there anything else? If they say something else, I don't think I have the heart to deal with it. You know, you are my weak spot. As long as it concerns you, it is difficult for me not to be affected."

Indeed, there is one more thing. Mu Yanchen lowered his eyelashes to hide the dark shadow in his eyes, those lost memories...

He hesitated slightly, and then there were knocks on the door.

"Is anyone in there?"

It's a female voice with a masculine tone.

Mu Yanchen looked towards the door and replied in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid I disturbed you. The banquet is about to begin. Our Mr. Mu invites everyone to the hall."

"okay!"

"Thank you sir, I won't bother you anymore."

Shen Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yanchen's sharp yet smooth jawline, "Then shall we go out too?"

Mu Yanchen glanced at her, lowered his lips, and ultimately did not tell her about that history.

It was like a time bomb. Her memory had been shaken before, so he asked Situ Rui to find the psychiatrist at that time. However, the opposite happened. The banquet was announced before the doctor met Shen Zhao.

Fortunately, they didn't know she was "she".

Mu Yanchen took Shen Zhao's hand, opened the door and walked out, skillfully turning several corners in the corridor and arriving at the hall.

When Shen Zhao came in, she was interrupted by Duan Lu Chong, and she did not calm down to appreciate the hall.

They appeared from the inside of the hall and walked out directly from the side of the stage.

The hall is as high as a four-story building, with crystal chandeliers hanging overhead and murals painted on the roof. Each unit is a story, and when put together they form a masterpiece!

The hall was already filled with guests from all over the world, all of them were well-known figures. Shen Zhao discovered that he had even seen many of them on TV!

Her eyes unconsciously widened a little, like a curious child, and from time to time she would stay on the faces of those superstars for a moment, causing people around her to laugh.

Hearing laughter from the side, she looked over unconsciously, only to see Mu Yanchen's eyes were filled with smiles, and even when she looked over, he didn't have time to restrain his smile and it was revealed so openly, without trying to hide his happiness.

And she knew that his happiness was based on her countryman's behavior just now.

Her cheeks flushed red, and she pretended to be angry, "What are you laughing at?"

Mu Yanchen then put away the large arc at the corner of his mouth. He stared at her seriously, "I'm happy. It's rare to see such a lively expression on you."

"Aren't you laughing at me for being a country bumpkin? You must have seen these things all the time, so you're not surprised at all. And these are far away from me..."

As he spoke of the latter part, Shen Zhao felt a sense of loneliness unconsciously welling up in his heart.

Yes, although she is standing beside him now, they are people from two different worlds after all. He belongs to fine clothes and gorgeous clothes, while she is not qualified for those positions.

Just as she was daydreaming, she felt a force on her hand. She raised her head suddenly and bumped into those dark but terrifyingly serious pupils. "What?"

"Are you imagining things again? I'm just smiling."

"No……"

Shen Zhao didn't want to admit her secrets, so she looked away.

Mu Yanchen didn't care. He said to himself, "Whether you believe it or not, I only like you and will only love you in this life. These common and uncommon things in front of me have nothing to do with me. As long as you are there, I will go there."

The sudden confession caught Shen Zhao off guard. She didn't dare to look at him, but the overflowing emotion in her heart was real.

Her heart was overwhelmed by his words.

Although Mu Yanchen is the most handsome man in Shengjing, he is well aware of the rules of banquets. Over the years, he has always been able to keep a low profile at banquets, standing in the corner. Even if he makes any move, it will not attract much attention, except for certain times when the people on the stage must let him walk under the spotlight.

The people around them applauded the person on the stage's declaration, but they seemed to have entered an empty area. Shen Zhao even felt that the two of them were a world together.

Isolated from everything around her, in this rare silence, Shen Zhao admitted that she believed him and believed every word he said.

Those words seem to be deeply engraved in the long river of memory.
