On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

Yu Jinzhao heard this and kept thinking, Si Qing must know that she slept in their wedding bed last night, and his germaphobia has acted up.

She was disliked, but she was happy.

This means that she no longer needs to deliberately try to please him; she only needs to keep her distance and minimize her presence.

Yu Jinzhao randomly chose a guest room that was furthest from Si Qing's master bedroom to stay in.

As soon as I pushed open the door, the servants filed in and began to decorate.

One of the servants was carrying a first-aid kit, which happened to be placed in front of Yu Jinzhao. The first-aid kit was open, and there happened to be several tubes of burn ointment on top.

Yu Jinzhao couldn't help but think, "What a coincidence!"

Actually, the burn on the back of her hand was just a faint burn, not serious. If it were on another part of her hand, she wouldn't care at all.

But as a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, hands are of utmost importance, so she carefully picked up the burn ointment and began to apply it.

After applying the medicine, Yu Jinzhao looked up and saw that all the servants in the room had left, leaving her alone.

She couldn't help but look around. This was where she would live from now on, the Si family's territory.

She couldn't help but sigh, never expecting that the arrogant and haughty bodyguard who used to follow her around would now be her new husband.

Thinking back to the cold look in his eyes when he looked at her just now, she couldn't help but recall how he looked when she first met him.

She was riding a horse when she accidentally fell off and nearly hit the ground; the consequences could have been disastrous.

At the critical moment, it was like Si Qing's unsheathed arrow, coming towards her and catching her.

She fell into his arms without warning.

His faint, cool fragrance lingered around her nose. Surprised, she opened her eyes and was met with his clear, cool, and aloof peach blossom eyes.

Like being shrouded in a blanket of white snow, standing tall and proud, aloof and cold.

The bright sunlight shone on his brows, yet it couldn't melt away even a trace of his aloofness and remoteness...

As her thoughts raced, Yu Jinzhao couldn't help but shiver and decided not to think about it anymore.

Speaking of which, Si Qing's attitude towards her seems to have changed now, but the feeling of coldness and aloofness seems to have remained the same.

The same kind of malicious playfulness!

At the same time, Si Qing was sitting on the edge of the bed playing on his phone when Yin Zhuo walked in carrying new bed sheets and said to Si Qing...

"Master Si, I've already sent a servant to deliver burn ointment to Madam."

Si Qing hummed in response, looking completely unconcerned, as if he didn't care at all.

Yin Zhuo's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "Actually, Master Si cares quite a bit about Madam..."

Si Qing looked up from his phone, gave him a cold glance, and spoke in a flat, emotionless tone.

"She is, after all, my wife in name only. If she has a scar on her hand, it will be a disgrace to me, Si Qing."

This is true.

Yin Zhuo suppressed her inappropriate thoughts and focused on changing the bed sheets.

He first removed the original bed sheets.

Si Qing held his phone, watching Yin Zhuo change the sheets, and suddenly remembered how he used to change the sheets and iron clothes for Yu Jinzhao...

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest, an indescribable sense of oppression welling up inside him.

It felt like punching cotton, and it even bounced back.

Yin Zhuo quickly changed the sheets, and when she looked up and saw that Si Qing's expression was not good, her heart skipped a beat.

Si Qing moved his lips and said casually, "Go and have the people on the dark web investigate what happened to Yu Jinzhao three years ago. I need to know how she broke her backbone."

Yin Zhuo was taken aback, "There are some things I'm not sure if I should say..."

"explain."

Yin Zhuo said weakly,

"Is it possible that you were too fierce, Mr. Si, and scared Madam?"

Si Qing rubbed the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist and said calmly, "What do you know?"

Yu Jinzhao was the most unyielding person he had ever met. She was unrestrained and arrogant, with an innate pride, and she was not afraid of anyone.

A person's personality is formed and fixed from childhood, and it is impossible for it to change unless a major event occurs.

After Yin Zhuo left, Si Qing was still upset. He walked to the balcony, leaned against the railing, and looked in a certain direction.

It was late at night, and the night breeze gradually picked up, carrying the fragrance of crabapple blossoms throughout the garden, which was refreshing and pleasant.

Si Qing raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows, his restless emotions slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Perhaps it was because of his conversation with Yin Zhuo that, in the quiet of the night, his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to a long time ago.

The first time he met Yu Jinzhao.

He suffered an accident and lost his memory. He was rescued by Yu Zongxian and taken to the Yu family.

As he stepped into the Yu family's gate, he immediately saw Yu Jinzhao practicing horseback riding in the courtyard.

She was sixteen years old then, a young woman just coming of age. Dressed in a red and black riding outfit, with her hair in a bun, she had a delicate and bright appearance. The way she rode through the courtyard holding the reins resembled a female general riding through the streets, with natural pride and heroic spirit.

The servants chased after her, telling her to ride slowly, worried that she would fall.

That was her first time riding a horse. Naturally proud and completely unaware of humility, she heard the servants' words and her sweet, clear voice rose in the wind.

"How could I possibly fall? Don't underestimate me!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Zongxian was so frightened that his body trembled, and he cried out in a cold sweat, "Chaochao, stop it!"

"Dad, watch me do a somersault right now!"

She waved her arms excitedly, her bright, fox-like eyes shining even brighter than the sun in the sky. Then, she released the reins and stood up on the horse.

The next moment, the horse stepped on a stone, twisted, and she lost her balance, falling off the horse.

The horse was running fast, and if Yu Jinzhao fell like that, he would most likely break a bone.

He didn't want to meddle, but seeing Yu Zongxian's anxious look, he rushed towards her like lightning.

He took her into his arms.

She kept her eyes tightly closed, seemingly not expecting anyone to catch her. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at him.

She stared with her fox-like eyes, oblivious and fearless, showing not a trace of panic at having fallen, but rather a curious question.

"who are you?"

Her eyes were clear, and his dark, deep peach blossom eyes were reflected in her pupils.

Although he had lost his memory, he instinctively didn't want to be looked at like that by others, and he didn't like her slightly scrutinizing gaze.

He coldly released her hand and threw her to the ground.

Yu Jinzhao rolled on the ground, stood up covered in dust, frowned, and looked extremely angry, with an expression that looked like she wanted to devour someone. She said in a spoiled tone,

"Who told you to let go?"

Yu Zongxian was terrified and rushed over to check if she was injured. Finding her unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and scolded, "Chaochao, you're being incredibly reckless!"

She was covered in mud, her face and body covered in dirt. She pointed at him angrily and complained, "Dad, he got all my clothes dirty!"

"Chaochao, this is the bodyguard your father found for you. He will protect you closely from now on."

As Yu Zongxian was speaking, he received a call from the company, turned around and told him to keep a close eye on Yu Jinzhao, then turned and left.

The girl crossed her arms and looked him up and down with a critical and arrogant gaze. She seemed to disapprove of his haughty attitude and said fiercely, "You hurt me when you fell. Apologize to me right now."

He looked at her dismissively and uttered three words with amusement, "Stupid thing."

She looked utterly incredulous, as if she couldn't believe that a mere bodyguard like him would dare to insult her. She puffed out her cheeks and blushed with anger.

His gaze fell on her fair ankle, where a delicate diamond chain was wrapped around it, looking charming and lovely, but he found it amusing, a mocking, wicked laugh.

"Wearing ankle chains while riding a horse? Calling you stupid is an understatement."

Yu Jinzhao's face flushed red instantly, seemingly realizing that her fall was due to the ankle chain, but she refused to admit it. Instead, she put her hands on her hips in exasperation and gave an arrogant order.

"You got my clothes dirty, you have to clean them for me."

She pointed to the mud on her clothes, arrogant and willful, her chin slightly raised, looking completely lawless.

But she's beautiful, so even when she makes that arrogant and irritating expression, it doesn't make people feel disgusted at all; in fact, it's kind of cute.

"Clean it up?"

He didn't move because even though he had lost his memory, he still possessed an arrogance that surpassed even Yu Jinzhao's, and naturally he wouldn't back down.

"Ah, I don't know how."

Young Yu Jinzhao had delicately sculpted cheeks and a touch of baby fat, round like a ripe peach.

He couldn't help but reach out and cruelly pinch her cheek, leaving a clear finger mark on her face with a little force.

"How about you teach me?"

the next morning.
