"Um... I have something to tell you."
Mu Yijie looked at her mockingly. "What? To tell me how you betrayed me and ask what compensation I want?"
"No! I just hope that you won't bother my life from now on."
Her words completely crossed Mu Yijie's bottom line. He grabbed her shoulders like a crazy beast, his pupils already filled with bloodshot eyes.
"Yong Shanling! Why! Why are you treating me like this? Have you forgotten all the days we spent together? Have you forgotten?"
She felt the pain on her shoulders and hardly heard what Mu Yijie was saying.
"Let go of me!"
"Tell me clearly what you're up to. What are you pretending for?" Mu Yijie threw her out.
She lost her balance and hit the railing on the rooftop. A stabbing pain came from her back.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
She gritted her teeth and looked at Mu Yijie painfully. Then she steadied herself.
"There's no other man here. Stop pretending to have amnesia. Say something at least! For the past two years! Tell me where you've been, what you've done, and what that phone call was about. How could you say those words to me and then abandon me heartlessly?"
At the end, Mu Yijie even choked a bit. He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and stared at Yong Shanling with red eyes.
"I really don't know what you're talking about. I can only say you've mistaken me for someone else..."
"As long as you're still Yong Shanling, you're still that person!"
This time, she was completely provoked by Mu Yijie's words. "Then prove it to me! You say we were in love, but you have no evidence. How can you expect me to believe you?"
"What nonsense! What abandonment! I don't even know you. What on earth do you mean by saying these things!"
She shouted crazily at Mu Yijie. She herself couldn't even figure out what was wrong with her. Why was she out of control? Why couldn't she control herself whenever she met this man?
"Take a good look! See what you said and did."
Mu Yijie took out his phone and tremblingly played a voice message. "Uncle Shu, do you love me? Uncle Shu, I'm going to accomplish something now. Can you wait for me... I'll be back soon... Maybe very soon."
Hearing the conversation in the recording, she couldn't believe it for a moment. She shook her head with a bitter smile and took a step back, but the panic on her face betrayed her.
"Huh? What's this? Where did you get it? I don't remember saying these words at all."
Mu Yijie looked away mockingly. Then he took out a stack of photos from his pocket and threw them on the ground. All of them were group photos of Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie. She squatted down tremblingly and picked up the photos.
"What... What are these..."
Her face had turned a bit pale, and her pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes. "I clearly remember these were with Li."
She seemed to remember something and tried to calm herself down. "You must have photoshopped these. What on earth do you want? Why did you suddenly barge into my life and say these ambiguous things to me?"
"Humph, it was you who barged into my heart and occupied it, making me unable to live without you. But now you suddenly leave. Have you ever thought about how I feel?"
Mu Yijie clicked on some more voice messages. They were all sweet conversations. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. All she knew was that her mind was filled with those photos, voice messages, and videos...
She felt her blood was flowing backwards. She couldn't seem to hear the beating of her heart. Looking at the face in the photo and then at Mu Yijie's face, a flash of memory seemed to cross her mind.
"So, did I really... be with you?"
"No, no, it's all wrong. It's so confusing... What on earth is going on?"
She felt as if her head was being torn apart. Suddenly, some strange memories rushed into her mind. When she looked up again, everything in front of her was dark.
Qing Sui looked at the girl who had fainted in her arms. Then she looked at Mu Yijie again, her eyes cold.
"What do you want?"
"Aren't these words supposed to be mine?" Mu Yijie met Qing Sui's gaze, his face full of mockery.
"Did you plan it all since the auction? Calculating how to leave me, abandon me, and find a better place for yourselves?"
Hearing Mu Yijie's words, Qing Sui was even more disdainful. "You're just an ordinary mortal. What right do you have to talk about us? Yong Shanling is a rare cultivator with a bright future ahead."
"And you may only have a lifespan of a hundred years. If you left, what would happen to her? What if she gave up everything for you and followed you? How could you be worthy of her?"
Hearing Qing Sui's words, the mockery on Mu Yijie's face froze for a moment. "Yes, they're from different worlds. How can they be compared?"
"So, it was all your plan... Right?"
This time, Qing Sui didn't say a word. After a while, when a gust of wind blew, Qing Sui slowly said, "I said not to dig into it. It's the best way for you for now."
Suddenly, a ringing sound echoed in the air. Mu Yijie answered the phone absent - mindedly. "What's up, Ye Sen?"
Qing Sui, who was about to leave, suddenly froze in place. Looking at the flashing screen and hearing the familiar voice, she suddenly missed the past very much. As the wind got stronger.
She lowered her head, smiled faintly, said goodbye, and then disappeared in front of Mu Yijie. He watched the two people who suddenly disappeared, his slightly opened lips closing again.
Mu Yijie seemed to be unable to hear what was said on the other end of the phone.
"Come to the M Hotel. I'll wait for you there."
After saying that, Mu Yijie hung up the phone. He glanced at the place where Yong Shanling had stood just now and then left the rooftop without any hesitation.
After Qing Sui took Yong Shanling back to the manor, she gently laid her on Gu Li's bed. Gu Li was sitting on the sofa, looking at the sleeping woman. For a moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Since you've erased her memory, why did you still let them meet?"
Hearing Qing Sui's question, Gu Li answered with a bitter smile. "Even if I erased her memory, one day she'll still remember. She'll remember that the person she loves is not me, and the person she wants is not me, but Mu Yijie."
"I can't bear to let her suffer for a long time. So the only thing I can do is to leave my mark in her mind, make her never forget me in this lifetime, and then let her go..."
"Are you willing to do this?" Qing Yuan suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at him painfully.
Gu Li walked up to her, reached out his hand, and gently stroked her face. "What's there to be unwilling about... For her future, I have to see what that man Mu Yijie will do."
"If I had shown up earlier back then, would the ending have been different..."
Gu Li put down his hand and murmured as he looked at her, not knowing that her feelings had already changed.
