Li Xinglan paused his struggling hand and slowly stroked her face with his fingers. He hesitated and tried at first, and finally stretched out his other hand in disbelief, carefully checking back and forth.

Fu Yuan'er raised her face and moved closer. She didn't dare to blink and kept nervously observing Li Xinglan's emotional changes.

Suddenly, he withdrew his hand, took several steps back, and hid back in the carriage with a painful expression.

What happened? What was going on? Everyone was bewildered.

His reaction made Fu Yuan'er's heart skip a beat. She wasn't Su Su? Was she wrong?

She stood there stiffly, not knowing what to do. Chuan Zhu stretched his head and saw her face clearly. She looked too much like Miss Su!

He nudged Su Ling with his elbow and said, "Is it you, Wanwan?" Over the years, many people have pretended to be Miss Su, all for the high reward.

Although the voice was low, Fu Yuan'er still heard it. She thought about it and decided that whether Wanwan was similar to her or she had misunderstood, she had to confirm it clearly.

If she really guessed wrong and made everyone happy for nothing, she would apologize sincerely and try her best to make it up to everyone.

She mustered up the courage to climb onto the carriage, opened the curtain, and walked in slowly. There was a scent of ancient trees and green pines in the carriage, which made her extremely panicked heart relax a little.

Li Xinglan huddled in the corner. Sensing her coming in, he lowered his head even lower and even raised his arms to cover his face.

"You, don't come near me..." His voice was shaking.

Why, he appeared when he was at his ugliest and most embarrassed...

Is he rejecting himself like this?

Fu Yuan'er was at a loss, with many questions in mind, but she was afraid of upsetting Li Xinglan, so she could only repeatedly say, "Don't get excited, I'll go out, I'll go out right away..."

She turned around and tried to leave, but Li Xinglan grabbed her wrist again, and then she fell into a thin embrace, and the fresh fragrance enveloped her whole body.

"Don't go!" Almost as a conditioned reflex, Li Xinglan hugged her from behind, unwilling to let go.

"Don't go! Don't look at me..." His tone was painful and sour. He didn't want his baby to see him in his current state.

He was so ugly that even children were frightened by his appearance and burst into tears. He simply didn't have the courage to face her.

"Su Su..." The name was deeply engraved in his soul. Even if he couldn't see it with his eyes, he could be sure that she was back. He had engraved her appearance in his heart thousands of times.

His body temperature was so low that even his embrace seemed slightly cold, but his tears were scorching hot, falling one drop after another onto her neck and shoulders.

Hearing him call her "Su Su", her heart suddenly beat fast and her mood was extremely complicated. She wanted to look back at Li Xinglan, but he stopped her.

He reached out and covered her eyes, his tone full of fragility, "Please... don't look at me now..."

This one sentence was enough to make her break down and cry. She had heard from Concubine Rou what Li Xinglan was like in the past, and she had seen with her own eyes what he was like now. This contrast was all because of her.

When Li Xinglan heard her crying, he didn't care about anything else. He frantically reached for the handkerchief in his arms, but couldn't find it. He could only wipe her tears with his sleeves tremblingly.

"Don't cry...Su Su..." As if he had made up his mind, he slowly turned her body, lowered his eyes, like a wounded but still docile puppy, "I'll show you, don't cry..."

"I'm sorry, woooo!" She turned around and threw herself into his too thin arms, put her arms around his waist, and cried uncontrollably.

"I lost my memory, and I'm stupid. I didn't find you sooner. I'm sorry..."

His Su Su was not stupid. He knew that she had suffered a lot before returning to him.

He sighed and gently rubbed her hair, "Su Su, you have done very well."

His whole body was still shaking violently uncontrollably, the joy of regaining what he had lost was about to overwhelm him.

He was a little suffocated and gasped for breath, trying to calm down, but he couldn't do it. He heard Su Su sobbing and saying, "I'm sorry, Li Xinglan, I made you suffer so much! I'm sorry..."

Burying his head in the crook of her neck, he shook his head, "It's not bitter..."

The longer he waited, the happier he would be when they met again, and he was willing to do so.

The three people outside the carriage pricked up their ears to listen to the movements in the carriage, afraid of missing anything, until the carriage gradually became quiet, with only some whispers and murmurs, some of which were difficult to hear.

Chuan Zhu and Jiang He both wanted to stick to the carriage to eavesdrop, but Su Ling pulled them aside one by one. Although this was very fantastic, he felt that it was better to give the young master a quiet environment first.

In the carriage, the two sat side by side. Li Xinglan never let her go. He kept his arm around her shoulders and listened quietly to her story.

He gave her a positive answer, "Your name is not Lin Xuejian, nor is it Fu Yuaner. Your real name is Su Su..."

She finally got her name back.

He talked about her past in great detail, and he remembered everything about her clearly.

He told the story of how they met, their stories together, everything she had ever told him.

Just talking about it made her feel happy. Li Xinglan's eyebrows were filled with a smile. That kind of true happiness was contagious, and Su Su couldn't bear to look away.

Feeling that she was looking at him, Li Xinglan's smile stopped abruptly. He wanted to lower his head and avoid her out of inferiority, but she stopped him.

She held his face in her hands. Although she knew he couldn't see clearly, she wanted him to look directly at her.

"It's just a shell, Li Xinglan. Do you think I care? If I really cared, wouldn't I just stay by Yu Yan's side? Why would I bother looking for you?"

It seems so... Li Xinglan opened his gray eyes and swallowed nervously. His Su Su would not care how miserable he looked.

A smile appeared on his face again. Li Xinglan smiled lightly and nodded slightly, no longer resisting or avoiding. Even his tone seemed to be more relaxed. "Su Su, give me some time..."

His baby was back, in her true form, and he regained hope for life. "I can be worthy of you."

Su Su did not answer, but just gently stroked his eyes, feeling extremely distressed. These should have been a pair of beautiful eyes, but they could no longer see.

"It can be cured. I can ask my second father to cure it." As if sensing her guilt, Li Xinglan rubbed his face in her palm, "Trust me."

"Then why don't you want to heal your eyes!" Su Su was a little angry. He was torturing himself like this. What if she showed up later? What if she couldn't show up at all?

He knew she was feeling sorry for him, and Li Xinglan finally grinned heartily. He bravely kissed her face lightly, "I just feel that if you weren't in this world, it would be better if I couldn't see you."
