After Losing My Memory, My Husband Begged Me to Love Him Again

When Gu Wan finished her work and returned to the villa on the third day, everything had indeed returned to normal as expected.

After Gu Wan explained everything that had happened previously, she put the matter out of her mind.

Lu Yu said nothing about the few gifts Gu Wan had sent him, as if he had gradually begun to get used to it. He only switched to wearing the new tie clip she had given him.

Lu Yu gradually learned to endure, and also gradually learned to wait.

Lu Yu couldn't help but recall what Shen An had said - that not cherishing what you have will lead to karmic retribution.

So, he thought numbly, this really was retribution. But even as he felt numb, Lu Yu would find himself hopelessly drawn in by Gu Wan's occasional moments of tenderness. Although he knew such tenderness wouldn't last, and was even extremely fleeting, Lu Yu still couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Sometimes he even thought that this kind of life wasn't so bad, but other times he couldn't help but crave more. However, Lu Yu didn't dare let Gu Wan discover this. Whenever such thoughts arose, he would force himself to suppress them until there wasn't the slightest hint of his true feelings.

It was as if Lu Yu's heart was missing a piece that could never be filled. So he increasingly craved physical contact, but occasionally he would feel self-loathing for his lack of control.

But no matter what, on the surface, everything remained peaceful.

Like a seemingly calm lake surface - if you don't wade in, no one knows what bottomless abyss lies beneath.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and this time it was Gu Wan's birthday.

Of course, this wasn't something Gu Wan remembered herself. If not for Lu Yu's reminder, she would have forgotten this day as well.

Gu Wan didn't even care about things related to herself, so how could she care about others?

She didn't understand why Lu Yu had become so concerned with these completely meaningless things. It wasn't practical at all. Even if they specially celebrated, what difference would it make? Time would still march relentlessly forward, never pausing or lingering for anyone.

But since Lu Yu had specifically brought it up, Gu Wan naturally couldn't refuse and disappoint him.

This time Gu Wan chose the restaurant herself. Besides Lu Yu, Xia Qianqian had also come to celebrate her birthday.

Looking at the man who seemed to have become a different person in just over half a year, Xia Qianqian couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

It didn't seem like there had been any bad news from the couple. In the past they used to argue frequently, but now they hardly fought at all. Why did it feel so strange?

Moreover, the two seemed much more intimate than before.

Seeing Gu Wan's extremely natural and casual attitude, Xia Qianqian was baffled. But later, when she saw Gu Wan kiss Lu Yu's cheek right in front of her without the slightest blush or shyness, Xia Qianqian gradually understood.

Because it's only when you like someone that you lose your rationality. Blushing and a racing heart mean that reason has lost control to emotion, so of course one would appear especially clumsy and flustered. Therefore, the more natural the attitude, the more it meant...

But now all of Gu Wan's behavior and gestures could be described as effortless.

Xia Qianqian had always known she was a very unique and attractive person. Even twenty years ago, when she herself was still a child, she had been utterly fascinated by Gu Wan, let alone now.

Xia Qianqian looked at her, then couldn't help but glance at Lu Yu beside her. Given his previous personality, he should have been happy that Gu Wan, who had been the number one trouble in his heart, was finally no longer a problem. But Xia Qianqian felt his expression was so forced.

This was truly... she didn't know what to say.

But Xia Qianqian's attitude towards him only improved a little bit. It wasn't that she really sympathized with him. What was there to sympathize with? It was all his own choice after all.

After dinner, Xia Qianqian put down her gift, picked up her handbag and left. She had work tomorrow.

Gu Wan and Lu Yu walked together to the riverside to stroll and enjoy the beautiful night view.

It was at this moment, as the two walked closer, that the previously quiet lights on the opposite building suddenly began to change, eventually spelling out "Happy Birthday" in large letters.

Over a hundred drones took off from somewhere unknown, controlled by computers in the distance, forming various combinations and arrangements.

Even the yacht that had been hovering nearby docked perfectly at the shore, as if welcoming someone to board.

This series of changes happened in just a few short minutes. Gu Wan could even hear faint exclamations from those around them.

As if infected by this scene, Gu Wan first froze, then smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him under the dazzling lights.

Everything felt so natural. Lu Yu tried to search for infatuation and love in her eyes, but there was none, not even a bit. There was only surprise and exhilaration.

But even with just these emotions, he didn't want to give up.

Lu Yu closed his eyes and chose to deepen the kiss.

Afterwards, once the yacht was docked, amidst the surprised exclamations of onlookers, Lu Yu held her hand as Gu Wan followed him onto the boat in full view of everyone.

The yacht slowly started moving, and the night breeze ruffled the river's surface.

A few days later, Gu Wan appeared at the entrance of Lu Yu's company.

It wasn't that she had any business with Lu Yu - in fact, Gu Wan hardly participated in Lu Yu's current work and life. But this time was different. The company was holding its mid-year shareholders' meeting in the next few days, and since the old man had previously transferred all his shares to Lu Guangcheng, Gu Wan had no choice but to attend.

When the driver slowly pulled up and Gu Wan got out of the car, she discovered that it wasn't just shareholders coming for the meeting - there seemed to be other people at the company entrance as well, making it look quite lively.

Gu Wan didn't think much of it. She took out the badge Lu Yu had brought home last night from her bag, showed it to the security at the company entrance, and was quickly let in.

Within seconds, a receptionist came running over with a friendly smile, ready to guide Gu Wan towards the conference room.

Gu Wan had arrived quite early today - the meeting wouldn't start for a full two hours. Although she wasn't very interested in Lu Yu's work, she thought that since she rarely came here, she might as well take the opportunity to look around the company. So Gu Wan politely declined the receptionist's offer, saying she wanted to tour the various departments.

Of course a company shareholder would be interested in the environment, atmosphere, and even department layout of their own company. The receptionist maintained her cheerful smile on the surface, but behind the scenes, she was frantically sending messages in the employee group chat.

[Attention! Attention! The new shareholder is planning to tour the work situations of various departments. Everyone please be careful!]

This was clearly a new employee who didn't recognize Gu Wan. In fact, quite a few employees who had worked at the company for over three years were quite familiar with Gu Wan's face.

There was no help for it - the boss and his wife looked like they had come here to film an idol drama, with looks that could rival each other. It would be hard for anyone who had seen the two of them to not have a deep impression.

Someone quickly responded to the receptionist in an unnamed employee group chat.

Gu Wan vaguely sensed that the receptionist seemed to give her a very shocked look afterwards, but by the time Gu Wan looked back, the other party had already resumed her initial demeanor.

[Damn, is this really our boss's wife, not some spokesperson the PR department found? Her looks are unreal!]

The receptionist had become so excited that she forgot about the shareholder badge hanging around Gu Wan's neck. She had even forgotten that the spokesperson the PR department had found this time was a male celebrity.

A few minutes later, Gu Wan felt that there were oddly many gazes on her.

Just as Gu Wan was about to go upstairs, right as the elevator doors were about to close, she suddenly heard a somewhat urgent call from not far away—

"Wait, wait a moment, don't close the door yet!"

Gu Wan didn't hesitate much, casually pressing the open button. The elevator doors, which were about to close, reopened.

Then, a few people quickly squeezed into the elevator.

The manager, panting heavily, swiftly pressed the button for the 23rd floor, then checked the time before letting out a long sigh of relief. "Phew, we made it."

They had just managed to negotiate cooperation with this company, and it would be a shame if it fell through because of being late for such a trivial reason.

Thinking this, the manager couldn't help but thank Gu Wan, who had clearly been the one to extend her hand.

The young man standing next to the manager, wearing a baseball cap pulled low over his face, followed his gaze and then froze.

"It's you?" he blurted out.

The young man was none other than He Minglun, who had briefly encountered Gu Wan a few months ago.

What an unexpected coincidence.

Before Gu Wan could speak, the manager beside them was startled: "Wait, you two know each other?"

How come he didn't know when his own celebrity had become acquainted with someone like her?

Clearly, after a few months, the manager had forgotten about Gu Wan.

As for He Minglun, he was surprised to find that he still remembered her the moment the words left his mouth.

Seeing Gu Wan's gaze finally turn towards him, He Minglun felt oddly uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and spoke somewhat vaguely, "It was a few months ago, when I was attending an event and got separated from my fans."

The manager suddenly realized.

He Minglun didn't pay any more attention to him after that. Perhaps because the elevator was too cramped, He Minglun felt his heart beating a bit faster than usual.

"What a coincidence, to run into you again..." he muttered out of habit.

Then He Minglun blurted out, "So you work here."

He Minglun recalled that last time, she hadn't even left her name, seeming as if she had no intention of getting to know him better. As he thought about it, He Minglun suddenly felt a little indignant.

Although he met so many people every day that he might not remember even if she had told him, how could she not say anything?

So this time, He Minglun's gaze quickly darted to the work badge hanging on her chest, wanting to find out what her name was.

However, when he saw the words on the badge clearly, He Minglun was stunned.

But compared to him, his manager was obviously even more shocked. The manager couldn't help but exclaim, "C-c-c-client?!"

The manager's second reaction was, "Damn, we should find a way to get her to sign our star. We might never have to worry about endorsements again."

If only we had known earlier...

As the two men's expressions went through a myriad of changes, Gu Wan finally slowly removed her sunglasses and said with a smile, "Hello."
