re kind enough to let you have a share of the pie, but you don't even have the eyesight to see that!""I'll see who dares to steal water from me again! If anyone tries, I'll have my son fence off the p...The two of them finally removed the long-standing barrier between them, and sweet smiles bloomed on their faces for the first time in a long while. Fang Jinxiu only felt a lightness in her heart; previously, she had always felt a tightness and discomfort in her chest, sometimes even sharp pain.

Now all the symptoms have disappeared, it's great. Ayu's heart is still hers, even though she has amnesia, it's still her.

The newlyweds finally had the time and mood to appreciate their new home. Fang Jinxiu nestled in Zong Yu's arms, sitting in a pavilion by the lake. Her gaze was fixed on the water surface, but her mind was filled with many questions.

I was too shy to ask before, but now I want to get to the bottom of all this.

Four years ago, when you saw me, your expression was so cold, and your eyes looked at me like a stranger. How could you be sure that the person you liked in your heart was me

Just like any woman, Fong Kam-shui craved to understand the workings of a man's heart once her own emotions relaxed.

She had always been afraid that Zong Yu was only trying to get her back out of a sense of responsibility and guilt. Even though she had lost her memory, she knew he was a man who kept his promises.

"This...is just a feeling," Zongyu scratched his head, answering with some distress.

The daughter-in-law's questions are too tricky, he didn't think that much at all.

Fang Jinshui was not satisfied with his answer and threw out the next death question.

"If someone other than me, a complete stranger with no feelings for you, had taken care of your children these past four years, would you continue to live as husband and wife out of duty and gratitude"

This was the issue Fang Jinshui cared about most, so she paid special attention to Zong Yu's expression, not wanting to miss even the slightest change.

Zongyu frowned, pondered for a moment then looked down at his wife.

"I just promised you, I will never lie to you again from now on."

"If you had never appeared, and she truly owed me such a great debt, even without feelings, I would continue to be her husband and fulfill my duties as a spouse."

When Fang Jinshu heard this answer, she thought she would be angry. Zong Yu's reply was exactly as she expected, he was just such a person.

It is one's responsibility to repay kindness, and one must definitely take on that duty.

She could only be grateful that from the very beginning, she was the one who met Ayou. She was his legitimate wife.

There was no one between them.

"So, are you with me out of a sense of duty, or because you truly like me"

Zong Yu saw the faint unease in Jinxiu's eyes. After a moment, he tightened his arms and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.

"Because I like you."

"If I only had responsibility for you, I wouldn't let go so easily."

"If my wife were the woman you just hypothetically described—emotionless but who has cared for my family for four years—I would do everything in my power to compensate her fairly in the event of a divorce."

"Respect her requests and do my best to make amends."

Instead of this, being rejected makes your heart ache. At night when you sleep and during the day when you do anything, all you can think about is him/her.

“Seeing you getting close to another man, I was consumed by jealousy.”

Even hearing rumors about you and other men would make your chest blaze with anger, wanting to silence anyone who dared to speak such words.

"I just want to take you back and keep you by my side for life. I want you to only see me, to only be with me. You're not allowed to go anywhere else, you mustn't smile at other men, and you certainly can't be nice to them."

Fāng Jǐn xiù raised her head and stared intently at Zōng Yù. She had never imagined that Zōng Yù's heart held such thoughts.

It turned out that he was feeling just as bad as himself during this time.

But upon hearing the next sentence, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He teased her, drawing circles on her chest with his finger.

"So domineering, once a general, even his words are different."

"Are you trying to turn me into your little slave You won't let me go anywhere, and I can't even laugh with other men, or be nice to them."

"Don't you forget, your brother and son are both men. I'm kind to them, so are you jealous"

Zongyu was teased by his own wife, his whole body burning with desire, his eyes instantly changing color, becoming dark and deep.

He grasped Fang Jinshu's small hand that was wreaking havoc on his body, and lowered his head to kiss her fingers. Fang Jinshu couldn't help but shrink back, her cheeks flushed red.

Zone nodded seriously.

"Yes, I will."

Fang Jinxiu was stunned. Was A Yu this domineering before

Or could it be that his personality after the amnesia is actually his truest self

Fang Jinshui's mind started to wander, and the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

In the past, Zongyu had to bear the responsibility of supporting his family since he was young. He carried too much weight on his shoulders, and life forced him to be more mature and capable than his peers.

He suppressed his true nature deep within himself, his mind constantly preoccupied only with duty and family.

After losing his memory, Zongyu forgot about the hardships he had suffered in the past. Naturally, he wouldn't constantly suppress his true nature.

So, everything he's showing now is actually his true self

Zong Yu was somewhat displeased with Fang Jinxiu's sudden distraction. He lowered his head and took a bite on her lips, intending to make her feel the pain and come back to her senses, also carrying a hint of punishment.

The moment their skin touched, Zong Yu hesitated to pull away. Instead, he held her tighter, cupping her head gently to prevent her from pushing him off. He deepened the kiss suddenly and passionately.

Zong Yu's sudden attack left Fang Jinshu breathless, unable to catch her breath. At some point, the two had changed positions, and now she was sitting on Zong Yu's lap, her hands pinned to her chest by him, unable to even struggle.

"Hmm..."

This guy's going to have his face chewed up if he doesn't let go!

Her previous boyfriend also liked to kiss her, but he always controlled the intensity so she wouldn't be uncomfortable. Now, his passion is a bit overwhelming for her; it's too intense.

The last time the two were at Jing Wangfu, Zong Yu was drugged and a little unclear, she was also a little dizzy. They had some intimate contact while not fully conscious.

Afterward, she didn't want to recall it much, because the knot in her heart hadn't been untied, so she had no idea how wild Zongyu had become when they were intimate now.

Just as Fang Jinshu felt she was about to suffocate, she could only remind Zongyu to let her go through whimpers and kicking her legs.

As if receiving a signal, Zong Yu's lips parted slightly. Fang Jinxiu hurriedly gasped for air, completely oblivious to the fact that the hand on her back hadn't moved at all.

His gaze was fixed on her, as hungry and intense as a wolf's.

A man who has abstained for four years, once he indulges, is quite terrifying.

Zongyu had lost his previous memories, like a second time losing one's virginity. The last time, the confusion coupled with the feeling of being forced by drugs, was quite painful for him. Especially since he thought Fang Jinshu was being forced and unwilling.

Guilt and pleasure tormented him at the same time.

This time the two of them resolved their misunderstanding and were once again in sync with each other.

"Did you get some rest"

He lightly pecked her lips, his breath still heavy and hot.

Fāng Jǐnxiù subconsciously nodded, feeling dizzy from the kiss. It took her a few seconds to realize something was wrong.

"You..."

"Ugh!"

She had just uttered a single syllable when her mouth was covered again. She hesitated to push him away, so she could only let Zongyu do as he pleased.

When Fang Jinxiu was carried into the main courtyard of Hou Mansion, being kissed all the way, the only thought that flashed through her mind was:

Tomorrow, when I go home, these lips are probably going to be unrecognizable.y. She didn't even glance at her own son standing beside her, only holding onto her daughter-in-law with excitement.Zong Bai ran to his older brother's side, his excitement clearly visible."Big brothe...
