17 Almost Forgotten about This Man's Existence

After resting at home for a few weeks, the injury on Ye Qing Xin's body no longer have to be bandaged. Ye Qing Xin continued to stay at home, thinking that it was better for her to learn more about the city before she goes out and met another person who might know her again.

During this time, Ye Qing Xin has been doing a few experiments to see if the 'force' was still around to make her do things that she did not want to do.

Ye Qing Xin was almost convinced that the 'force' was no longer around. But this did not stop her from being cautious.

She felt that the 'force' might have taken her to this new place to replace the previous Ye Qin Xin for some reason.

While trying to figure out the reason, Ye Qing Xin happened to find the news of her car crash not too long ago. The news report was almost the same as what her family had told her.

It was a rainy day and she was driving alone from work. Perhaps she has been driving a little too fast. Later she lost control of the vehicle and crashed.

Ye Qing Xin has been reading a few news on her accident through several portals and every one of them was reporting almost the same thing.

However, after looking at several news, Ye Qing Xin began to wonder just why would she drive so fast and crash. Was there a reason? Or was the previous Ye Qing Xin always that irresponsible?

Knock! Knock!

Ye Qing Xin snapped out of her thought and turned to the door. She closed the window on her laptop before leaning back on her chair. "Come in."

The door was pushed open and Butler Lu appeared with the usual polite smile on his face. "Eldest Miss."

"Butler Lu, is there something?"

"Your fiance, Young Master Jin is here to see you."

Hearing that name surprised her.

Ye Qing Xin thought that she was never going to see her fiance again. She had almost forgotten about this man's existence. If Butler Lu did not announce that Jin Tian Yi was waiting for her, Ye Qing Xin would have thought that she was still a single woman.

"I know. Let me go and change my clothes first," Ye Qing Xin spoke. Seeing that the butler was about to retreat, Ye Qing Xin quickly asked, "Is Xiao Luo around?"

"Eldest Miss, your sister went out with her friends early this morning."

Ye Qing Xin pursed her lips. "Un. I know. Butler Lu, I will come down in a while."

Butler Lu nodded and retreated.

Once the butler closed the door behind him, Ye Qing Xin put on casual clothes before heading downstairs to find Jin Tian Yi. When she arrived in the living room, Ye Qing Xin found that Jin Tian Yi was with her mother.

Ruan Xia seemed to be saying something while Jin Tian Yi was listening with an impatient look on his face. Ye Qing Xin stood there to observe their interaction for a while. Then, she coughed lightly to make her presence known.

"Xin Xin." Ruan Xia stood up and walked over to support her daughter.

Jin Tian Yi stood up and gave her a look over. Then, he flashed her a bright smile. "Xin Xin."

"Why are you here?" Ye Qing Xin sauntered towards the sofa leisurely without glancing at her fiance.

The smile on Jin Tian Yi's face froze. He quickly regain his composure and walked over to Ye Qing Xin's side. "Xin Xin, are you angry? I'm sorry. I haven't had the time to visit you."

Ye Qing Xin pursed her lips as she observed Jin Tian Yi. The man might be smiling brightly, but Ye Qing Xin could feel that the smile on his face did not reach his eyes.

Seeing that his fiance was not responding, Jin Tian Yi decided to explain his situation. "Xin Xin, you should know that I have been busy with work. You know my dad. He... He wanted to train me so that I can take over the company. Xin Xin, I promise... after we get married, I will spend my time with you."

It was only then that Ye Qing Xin recalled that there was a matter about her wedding.

However, the person in front of her was a stranger. She did not think that she would be able to marry someone that she know nothing about.

"Speaking of the wedding—"

"That's right," Jin Tian Yi intercepted. "I already talked to the wedding planning agency. Xin Xin, next week, we should go for the final fitting."

Her brow furrowed. Ye Qing Xin turned to her mother and asked, "When is the wedding?"

"It's on the twenty-ninth of June," Ruan Xia answered.

"That's not too long." Ye Qing Xin mumbled. "There's only a few more weeks left." She raised her head to look at Jin Tian Yi again. "Why don't we postpone the wedding?"

The smile on Jin Tian Yi's face froze. "Xin Xin, what are you talking about? How can we postpone the wedding? We already talked about this. Everything is prepared. The venue has been paid for and the invitation has been sent out. We can't postpone the wedding."

Ye Qing Xin stared at the man in front of her for a long time. "But, Jin Tian Yi, I don't know you and I don't remember you. Are you saying that you wanted to marry someone who doesn't love you at all?"

Jin Tian Yi became speechless.

"That's right. Tian Yi, Aunt also thought that it was better for you to postpone the wedding," Ruan Xia spoke. "Xin Xin is still recovering. Isn't it better if the two of you get married after she recovered? As for the guests... I'm sure that they would understand. After all, Xin Xin's accident was reported in a few major news."

The impatient look on Jin Tian Yi's face returned when he looked at Ruan Xia. However, it only lasted for a few seconds and disappeared before anyone could notice anything. "Auntie... Then, how long do I have to wait until Xin Xin recovered?"

"If I never recovered my memory and never love you again, will you still consider marrying me?" Ye Qing Xin looked the man in the eyes. Her eyes were sharp as if she wanted to observe his reaction. "Or could it be that you are marrying me not because you loved me?"

His heart skipped a beat.

Time seemed as if it was frozen for a few seconds.

Then, Jin Tian Yi put on a smile again and spoke, "Xin Xin, don't play around. You know how much I love you." He heaved a long, heavy breath and spoke, "Alright. I will listen to you. But Xin Xin, Aunt, I will have to discuss this matter with my parents first."
