Even so, Hu Mengdie couldn't help but complain to Li Zhuangsheng, "Even if Hu Mengke wanted to seduce you, how could you be so easily seduced by her?"

Don't you like me?

Although it's difficult for her to righteously blame Li Zhuangsheng from her perspective, Li Zhuangsheng, you really couldn't resist the temptation!
Even at that time, Hu Mengke still praised Li Zhuangsheng and said she was grateful to Hu Mengdie for giving up Li Zhuangsheng... Li Zhuangsheng must have been really good.

This was also Hu Mengdie's own observation. The other party must have realized long ago that she wasn't interested in him, so he didn't pester her from the beginning. He took good care of her, but didn't make her bear any responsibility or shackles, unlike others who had dirty thoughts and wanted her body.

If he truly harbored ill intentions, he would have had countless opportunities, even working with his parents to exert pressure. But he was naive and simple-minded, and always held himself in exceptional respect.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Zhuangsheng is really reliable. On the night they both lost their memories, he was the one who calmed them down and quietly took them home. Later, when they went to Nanjing, he took great care of her. Even though her mother always tried to play matchmaker, he still kept his distance as a gentleman and never made any inappropriate advances. Apart from medical treatment, he always made arrangements for her food, clothing, and accommodation... even when they went to Confucius Temple, he never complained.

Back in the county, he still helped her without complaint, standing in front of her father and taking a slap to protect her, even sleeping on the floor of her bedroom. He didn't complain when he had a fever the next day. After moving to the new house, he even made room for her and gave her the original master bedroom for free. He quietly helped her when she faced difficulties and appeared at the first moment when she was in a car accident... His kindness to her was simply pure kindness.

There were no sweet words, and no expectation of reward.

Actually, she could tell. Anyone could feel Li Zhuangsheng's gentleness and thoughtfulness. She felt guilty towards Li Zhuangsheng; he cared for her so much, yet she had done some bad things to him.

However, it's still wrong for Li Zhuangsheng to get together with Hu Mengke so quickly! His inability to resist Hu Mengke's temptation shows his lack of willpower! You can't like me while being with my sister, especially since this sister is the bastard who bullied me!

Hu Mengdie lay helplessly on the bed, staring at her WeChat Moments on her phone.

She realized she had never really known Li Zhuangsheng. She had only seen their chat history before, which was extremely long. She had spent most of the night looking through it and only found a small part of it.

The posts on her WeChat Moments were much simpler than her chat history; she had only skimmed through them before—they were practically a love diary. Although there wasn't anything outrageous in them, they were still embarrassing for her, and she had never looked at them closely.

But now, she has finally calmed down and realized that she doesn't actually reject these things. She was just stuck in some kind of inexplicable stubbornness before.

She looked down little by little. They had gotten up early together to watch the sunrise, gazed at the starry sky in some unknown town, and cycled on country roads... Yes, she had learned to ride a bike with Li Zhuangsheng's help.

The two watched the Lantern Festival fireworks in the north of the city, participated in the parade at the Westward Journey Amusement Park in the city, and even saw the cherry blossoms at Jiming Temple in Nanjing... Li Zhuangsheng took photos of her, and her face was always filled with a happy smile.

This reminded her of the photos she had pinned to the wall. She suddenly felt remorse; she shouldn't have deleted the old videos and photos. She wanted to see more; she wanted to know more about her past self and her husband.

She had always felt that her marriage to Li Zhuangsheng was an arranged marriage, not her true choice. After all, her stern and unapproachable father was so fond of Li Zhuangsheng… But only now did she truly believe that Xie Jiangqing hadn't lied to her.

But what could she do now? Li Zhuangsheng was already with Hu Mengke… no, Hu Mengke was just using him to get revenge on her. She definitely didn't love Li Zhuangsheng that much; he was just a tool she was using!

……

Li Zhuangsheng didn't order takeout for lunch. Instead, he went to a Chinese fast food restaurant not far from the neighborhood with Li Xiuyu early in the morning and ordered a stir-fried zucchini and a lettuce and shrimp dish, both of which Hu Mengdie liked. But after buying them, Li Zhuangsheng felt they were too bland, so he added a chicken leg.

Li Xiuyu said indifferently, "She's a dancer, such a delicate little girl, eating three dishes by herself?"

"If you can't finish it, just put it down."

"Don't you dislike wasting things?" "Well, it depends on the specific situation..." Li Zhuangsheng grumbled and scratched his head. "Besides, it's not like I'm the one wasting things."

"You're being such a simp."

"Does bringing her food make you a simp? Besides, I really did feel a little bad for her."

Li Xiuyu raised an eyebrow: "I think it might not be a good thing if you treat her too well."

Li Zhuangsheng asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"You don't even like her."

"Yes, I don't like her."

"What if she loves you and doesn't want to divorce you?"

"...Isn't this kind of impossibility meaningless?"

"Isn't this common in anime? She fell in love with you because of your gentleness."

Li Zhuangsheng remained silent for a moment, then looked at Li Xiuyu with an extremely strange gaze, as if he were looking at some inexplicable oddball.

"You're not a shut-in, how could you not distinguish between the world of anime and reality..."

Even I know that gentleness alone is absolutely not enough to make a great beauty like Hu Mengdie fall in love with me!
"I never imagined that one day you would say that to me." Li Xiuyu's lips twitched slightly, feeling that he had been thoroughly despised.

When the two returned home, Hu Mengdie finally came out. She sat on the sofa in a daze, looking quite haggard and seemingly lacking energy.

But being able to go out is good enough. Li Zhuangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked to Li Xiuyu for help.

Li Xiuyu ignored him, adhering to the principle of "cleaning up one's own mess," and went straight back to her room.

You ingrate! I just treated you to lunch! You just wait, wait until I become a Platinum God and earn millions a month!
"Ahem..." Only the two of them remained in the living room. Li Zhuangsheng coughed lightly, "I brought back lunch. Do you want to come and eat?"

Hu Mengdie looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head again.

Li Zhuangsheng had no choice but to put the food in an electric insulated container on the dining table: "I've kept it warm, so you can eat it anytime you want."

Hu Mengdie remained silent.

Li Zhuangsheng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, his voice filled with guilt: "Well, Xuanxuan is sick, and Mengke went to take care of her, so she's not home... Um, about what happened between her and me, I'm really sorry... It's mainly my fault, so blame me if you want, you can punch me a few times to vent your anger..." (End of Chapter)
