Despite knowing that Yue Qi was never one to give up, Yun Zhi Yue remained frozen in place. With no memories and having witnessed her intimacy with his son, what kind of reasoning could lead her to say such things?
Her arm was already pinched painfully, and Nie Xi stared at her, his emotional state fluctuating like an erratic heartbeat on a monitor.

“Damn it, Yun Zhi Yue, say something! At this rate, the target will be ruined!”
Just as he uttered those words, predicting disaster, Nie Xi's nose began to bleed, his face paling as he collapsed into her arms, blood gushing uncontrollably.
“Doctor! Someone help!” Yun Zhi Yue shouted urgently.
Fortunately, they were right by the Emergency Room. Amid the chaos, Nie Xi was quickly wheeled inside. But what could be done for a blood condition? The doctor could only do their best to stabilize his condition; there was no way to cure him through emergency measures alone.
A tissue was handed to her, and when Yun Zhi Yue looked up, she met Nie Zhui's gaze but made no move to take it.
Nie Zhui didn’t feel awkward; instead, he pulled out a few tissues and leaned down to wipe the bloodstains from her collar. But it was absurd to think that a tissue could clean up blood effectively.
This man was merely using the situation as an excuse to get close to her. Yun Zhi Yue brushed away Nie Zhui's hand.
“I don’t lack money or status. You’re too old for me and hold no appeal. You can fantasize about what you said earlier, but don’t bring it up again.”
Nie Langyuan watched in shock; for him, this was a fantasy. When had Brother He ever been looked down upon like this?
Nie Zhui wasn’t angered by her words. Instead, he grasped Yun Zhi Yue’s soft chin: “Age won’t be an issue for you. After all, you’re willing to accept someone who’s on the brink of death.”
A long time ago, he had felt that he should take care of Nie Xi; there seemed to be something he wanted from him, but he didn’t know what it was until yesterday when he met her.
Yun Zhi Yue scoffed: “Don’t tell me you want me. Isn’t that ridiculous? Do you think you could foresee that I would meet Nie Xi? So you raised him for that reason?”
“Spare me that nonsense. It’s merely lust or a desire to possess me. My brother would naturally be at your service for whatever reason; regardless of your intentions, you won’t succeed. My impression of you is extremely poor.”
Nie Zhui changed his grip from her chin to caressing her cheek and smiled slightly: “I noticed yesterday that you dislike me. Although I think it shouldn’t be that way, if you insist on hating me, so be it.”
Nie Xi didn’t want to live either; it was obvious. If he wanted him to accept treatment honestly and have the will to survive, it would be better for him to deal with me. He would get angry and want revenge; that way, he would strive to live on.
Yun Zhi Yue didn't know what expression to wear.
Staring at Nie Zhui, she said, "It's ridiculous that you threaten me using your own son. How long have I known Nie Xi? There's no way I would risk myself for him. What kind of logic are you using?"
Nie Zhui looked a bit puzzled. "You're right, but I have a gut feeling that you would go to great lengths for Nie Xi."
Yun Zhi Yue's heart sank. It was infuriating; she had no memories yet felt an instinctive urge to stir things up and manipulate her.
She swatted Nie Zhui's hand away again and stood up, changing her position with irritation. "If you keep touching me, I'll call the police! Stay away from me!"
Nie Zhui glanced at the red mark on the back of her hand and surprisingly felt in good spirits. Although Yun Zhi Yue didn't believe it, the anticipation she had felt for so long vanished after seeing her yesterday.
