After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

After I finished showering and put on my pajamas, I walked around the ward but didn't see anyone. While drying my hair, I opened the door, wondering if Jiang Yuwei was outside. Just then, I saw Chen Yiran coming out of the next ward.

His face showed grievance, or perhaps he was furious. His fingers, hanging by his sides, were clenched tightly. He turned around and spoke to the people in the ward.

"President Jiang, let's put aside our personal matters for now. Even if we disregard everything else, I was arranged by your parents to meet you. The whole world knows I'm your fiancé, yet you're hanging out with Ye Qiu. What do you take me for, and what do you take him for, a mistress?"

Upon hearing those words, my mind went completely blank, and even the hand I was using to dry my hair froze.

Chen Yiran is actually Jiang Yuwei's fiancé?

Was this decided before or after we got together?

The term "mistress" inexplicably makes me furious.

As I was thinking, I forgot to step back and made eye contact with Chen Yiran. His eyes were full of hostility, as if I had stolen something from him, and he seemed eager to slap me.

I didn't move, and he stormed off, gritting his teeth.

Immediately afterward, a tall, somewhat familiar figure emerged from the next ward. She had a cold and stern expression, clearly in a bad mood, but upon seeing me, a flicker of panic flashed in her eyes, and she stopped abruptly in her tracks.

"Ye Qiu..."

My expression returned to normal, and I continued drying my hair: "What's going on with my fiancé? Are you going to marry someone else? Aren't you going to tell me about this?"

Jiang Yuwei's face immediately darkened, as if she was a little angry, and she strode towards me.

"What do you mean, 'I just found out'? I only found out I have a fiancé."

I stared at her and slowly said, "But you and him are obviously not strangers, you must have some connection. He and I are probably not strangers either, we must have some connection too. Don't lie to me anymore, I hate being lied to."

I know that Jiang Yuwei kept our meeting with Chen Yiran a secret today. I initially thought it wasn't a big deal; if she wanted to keep it a secret, so be it. Anyway, I'm with her now, so what impact could it have? But if Chen Yiran really is her fiancé, then the situation is completely different.

I remembered Gu Mengmeng saying that Jiang Yuwei had a mistress. Although Jiang Yuwei denied it, I believed her. But while I was taking a shower just now, the more I thought about Chen Yiran and Jiang Yuwei's strange expressions, the more I felt something was wrong.

She walked up to me, staring at me intently with her dark eyes for a long time. I thought she was going to make excuses again, but to my surprise, she admitted her mistake directly.

I was stunned for a moment. She wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me tightly into her embrace: "Ye Qiu, I love you. Let's remarry, okay?"

I was even more stunned: "You..."

The topic changed so quickly. We were just talking about Chen Yiran and her fiancé, how come she suddenly proposed?

Jiang Yuwei hugged me tightly, her voice low and calm, with a hint of barely perceptible unease: "Chen Yiran? Fiancé? None of that has anything to do with me. It's just that some random people keep trying to get close to me. But you can't blame me for this, Ye Qiu. Marriage is the best guarantee for both of us. I want a status that I can openly assert my ownership of. After we're married, if any man tries to harass me again, being Jiang Yuwei's husband will make it easier for you to fight back, right?"

I was stunned for a while, but I actually believed her explanation. She said it had nothing to do with Chen Yiran, so it had nothing to do with him.

But I had no intention of getting married at all, so I hurriedly changed the subject: "Don't hug me, my hair is still wet, it will get you wet..."

She loosened her grip slightly and looked down at me: "The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed today, so we can go tomorrow. I'll have Secretary Li pick up our household registration booklet tonight."

My heart skipped a beat, and I felt like I was being rushed onto a shelf. I bit my lip tightly and said, "You...we've only been dating for three days. Isn't this proposal a bit too fast?"

Even if we're remarrying, can't we be in such a rush? I haven't even realized what's going on yet, and she's acting like she's afraid I'll run away.

Jiang Yuwei raised her hand and touched my face: "Didn't you misunderstand my relationship with Chen Yiran? He's the poor student I sponsor, and I don't like him at all. But I'm annoyed that you misunderstand me. I can't think of any other way to dispel your doubts except by getting married."

She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I looked directly into her eyes, which held deep affection, domineering power, and a touch of tenderness.

She looked up and kissed the corner of my lips, coaxing me softly, "Being my husband has many advantages. You can spend my money and use my resources as you please, and now you can use my connections too. However, our business partners value your status as Mr. Jiang's husband even more, as it will give you more convenience. Besides, you like me, don't you?"

"Boyfriends are always a bit lacking, but husbands hold an unshakeable position. Like today, if a man suddenly appeared, you might suspect that I'm cheating on you with your fiancé. But if we remarry, the law will only recognize you as my husband, Jiang Yuwei. You'll have the absolute right to fight back against anyone, and I won't be able to easily let you down. Isn't that great?"

Why do I feel like she cares more about that status? Once we're married, our interests are intertwined. She can't betray me, and I can't betray her. Isn't that mutual restraint?

Actually, there's no downside. Besides, she's so rich. Marrying her would be a huge step up for me. It's a sure win.

But my mind was a mess, especially with her kisses coming down on me, making it impossible for me to think clearly: "You, you stop kissing me, let me think... um."

Before I could finish speaking, her gentle kiss suddenly turned violent, giving me no chance to think it through.

Jiang Yuwei spent the whole night trying to persuade me to get married. If I didn't know that she was really rich and powerful, and that many people were desperate to marry into her family, I would have thought that she had no other choice but to marry me and was in a hurry to get married.

I almost wavered, but in the end I didn't agree.

I don't want to marry anyone, not even Jiang Yuwei. It's a strange thought, but I'm determined to stick to it. I always feel that if I agree, I'll definitely regret it later.

Jiang Yuwei didn't press me anymore. She leaned against me pitifully, her face pale, and hugged and kissed me. The bottom line that I hadn't crossed a few days ago was completely broken tonight.

However, because she was injured, she couldn't take the final step.

I gritted my teeth and thought, something's not right. I was the one questioning her about her fiancé, how did it turn into me rejecting her proposal and saying I didn't want her, and she became the pitiful one?

This woman is both heartless and stingy!

The next day, Secretary Li gave me a new cell phone.

I dialed the number Du Heng gave me, my heart pounding with anxiety, but Teacher Qin didn't answer.

I figured he probably didn't like answering calls from strangers, so I sent him a message explaining my identity.

Less than a minute later, Teacher Qin called back: "Xiao Ye? Is that you? You've been acting like you've disappeared! Old Zhan abroad hasn't been able to reach you for over half a month! Are you still going to study abroad?"

To my surprise, Teacher Qin had no idea about my situation. I quickly told him about my amnesia and falling into the sea from the broken bridge.

Only then did I realize that Professor Qin had gone abroad to work on a project and had no idea what was happening in China.

He was shocked and very worried when he heard this. He kept asking me if my hands and brain were okay until he was sure that I only had amnesia and that everything else was fine. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

I know what he's worried about. The artist's hand is more precious than anything else; there can't be the slightest mistake.

"Where are you? I'm coming back to China right away. Let's meet and have a good talk."

I directly pointed to Jiang Yuwei, and Jiang Yuwei's expression didn't change much, but Teacher Qin was shocked: "Jiang Yuwei? Didn't you used to hate her the most, saying she was a piece of trash and you never wanted to have anything to do with her again?"
