“What? You’re saying this necklace is a defensive artifact?” Ning Qingxue pulled out the necklace and asked in shock.

Su Jingwen nodded. “Perhaps it’s not only a defensive magical artifact, but also capable of calming your mind, like my bracelet. I don’t even get colds anymore. Considering how much Ye Mo loves you, something he gave you wouldn’t be ordinary.”

“You’re saying Ye Mo gave me this necklace?” Ning Qingxue finally understood its origin, but this only confused her further. Master Wu Guang said a senior of his made it. Wu Guang is in his 70s. How could his senior be Ye Mo?

Su Jingwen fell silent. She knew Ning Qingxue had lost some memories, but don’t people usually retain their most important ones? How could she have no recollection of Ye Mo at all? Though she disliked Ning Qingxue’s forgetfulness, seeing Ning Qingxue’s stare, Su Jingwen replied, “Yes. You said it yourself. I knew from your own words that Ye Mo cared deeply for you, so…”

Ning Qingxue suddenly stood. She walked to a wooden stick and gave it to Su Jingwen, ordering, “Jingwen, hit my face.”

Su Jingwen took the stick and shook her head. “Qingxue, you don’t understand defensive artifacts. Even if you wear it around your neck, it wouldn’t just protect your upper body.”

“Okay, whatever, just hit me,” Ning Qingxue nodded, still unsure why she was doing this. Perhaps she didn’t want Su Jingwen to distrust her.

Su Jingwen hesitated, then swung the stick toward Ning Qingxue’s arm. Before it made contact, a veil of light deflected it.

“It’s true.” Ning Qingxue touched her necklace. Everything seemed explained. When she woke up, the necklace was dull; it took time to regain its luster. This meant it could self-repair.

Then, according to Li Mumei, this necklace prevented serious injury in the car crash. She wondered if it was responsible for her waking up.

Su Jingwen looked at the shocked Ning Qingxue and felt a little down. Though they were alone, she felt superfluous. She stood, saying, “Qingxue, I’ll be going back.”

“Huh?” Ning Qingxue returned to reality. “Thank you, Jingwen. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?”

Su Jingwen shook her head. “Don’t worry. Maybe next time. I’m a bit tired today.”

Ning Qingxue nodded. “Okay, come visit often. It gets boring here alone. I really admire your courage, smacking yourself like that.”

Su Jingwen smiled. “Okay, I’ll come by frequently.”

Su Jingwen reached the door, then turned. “Actually, it wasn’t courage. I trust him; that’s why I did it.”

Su Jingwen was gone, but Ning Qingxue remained in the yard, Su Jingwen’s last words echoing.

Ning Qingxue murmured, “I’d really like to know what sort of person you were in my mind before I lost my memories. Could a month really change years of impressions? How come I didn’t divorce you after using you? How could I risk my life to find you? Could I have loved you that much?”

Before Ning Qingxue closed the door, another girl arrived, equally beautiful as Su Jingwen.

Ning Qingxue felt strange. Did she also seek Ye Mo? Why were all these people—women, beautiful women at that—looking for Ye Mo?

“Who are you?” Tang Beiwei and Ning Qingxue asked simultaneously. Tang Beiwei had waited over half a year for her brother at Serenity, but Ye Mo hadn’t returned. She missed him; he was all she had left. So she came to find him.

But revisiting this small house in Ning Hai, she found neither Xu Wei nor her brother, only an extraordinarily beautiful woman, even prettier than herself, which confused her.

“I’m Ning Qingxue. Who are you looking for?” Ning Qingxue broke the silence.

Tang Beiwei smiled. “Oh, it’s Sister-in-law Qingxue. I am Tang Beiwei. Ye Mo is my brother.”

“Oh, then come in and have a seat.”

This girl claimed to be Ye Mo’s sister, but wasn’t surnamed Ye. She knew of Ye Ling, but never heard of another sister.

After learning Xu Wei had moved, Tang Beiwei was disappointed. Still, she chose to stay, waiting for her brother’s return.

Ning Qingxue didn’t ask why Tang Beiwei called Ye Mo “brother.” Sometimes, some things shouldn’t be asked. She was sure Tang Beiwei wasn’t Ye Mo’s sister. Why make things awkward? She didn’t feel that deep love for Ye Mo, so no matter how many pretty women sought him, she’d only be surprised, not angry.

They spoke little; conversation ended quickly. Tang Beiwei soon realized this Sister-in-law Qingxue knew almost nothing about her brother.

She felt her brother deserved better. Although she knew what happened to Qingxue from her brother, how could she forget him completely? This meant she was heartless. She wouldn’t let someone like that marry her brother, no matter what.
