Chapter 163 You look very much like your previous wife.
Bai Wei watched him approach step by step with an angry expression. When he was about to reach her, she suddenly broke free from his hand like an enraged wild beast and took a few steps back.
"What do you mean by this? Imprisoning me?" Bai Wei's voice trembled with anger as she stared intently at him, as if trying to see through his eyes to his true thoughts.
He clearly hadn't expected Bai Wei to react so strongly, and was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure.
“This is not imprisonment; I have not restricted your freedom.” His voice was calm and gentle, a stark contrast to Bai Wei’s agitation.
Bai Wei sneered, "They didn't restrict my freedom? Then what's with these two bodyguards? They're watching me like I'm a criminal; I can't even leave the house!"
He followed Bai Wei's gaze to the two bodyguards in black suits, and his eyes instantly turned stern.
"Useless!" he snapped. "When did I ever order her not to leave? You all acted on your own initiative; don't bother coming back."
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, clearly not expecting to lose their jobs over such a trivial matter. They lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound, for fear of angering the capricious man before them.
After the two bodyguards left, the room became unusually quiet, leaving only the two of them.
He said, "I haven't had anyone restrict your freedom. From now on, there will be no restrictions on you while you're with me."
However, his response disappointed her somewhat. Bai Wei simply said, "Then I need to go out. I've recovered now, and I want to go for a walk. I don't need to stay in this room all day."
She frowned, wondering if he didn't understand what she meant. Her so-called "no restrictions" did not mean that she could go out freely, but rather that she would not be completely restricted in her movements as before.
But he seemed to have misunderstood her words, thinking that he could really go out as he pleased.
“You won’t be as strictly restricted here as before, but that doesn’t mean you can leave at will. After all, the outside world is full of unknown dangers, and I need to ensure your safety.”
But in Bai Wei's mind, his actions, though called protection, were in reality imprisonment.
"If you need anything, just go to Xiaosi, she'll help you."
Bai Wei's anger surged again. She clenched her fists, her voice filled with determination.
"I don't want Xiaosi, I want to get out. If you really care about me, let me go." He looked at Bai Wei's stubborn appearance, his brows furrowed, feeling somewhat irritated. "Why don't you understand my good intentions? It's too dangerous outside."
Bai Wei snorted coldly, "I think the danger isn't outside, but here in your place."
His phone rang.
"Young Master, your family wants you to go back home. They have something to discuss with you."
He responded with a "yes" and then hung up the phone.
He said to Bai Wei, "I still have things to do at the Fu residence. You can rest here for now."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. Bai Wei watched his retreating figure, as if this scene had appeared in her mind before—she, too, had been locked up here.
At that time, he seemed to inspire fear in many.
The door slammed shut. Bai Wei bit her lip.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
She called out, "Come in." A maid opened the door and said cautiously, "Miss Bai, the young master instructed me to come and see if you need anything."
Bai Wei said irritably, "I only have one request: let me out." The maid looked troubled. "Miss Bai, I'm just a maid; I really don't have that authority. Perhaps you could talk to the young master again?"
Bai Wei waved her hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, you can go now."
"Wait!" Bai Wei suddenly shouted, her voice clear and loud, like a lightning bolt shattering the still air.
The maid, who was about to turn and leave, stopped abruptly upon hearing the shout.
Bai Wei slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed intently on the maid.
Her gaze was sharp and piercing, seemingly able to penetrate one's soul. The maid stood there nervously, her hands unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her dress.
"What's your name?" Bai Wei's voice was calm and gentle.
The maid hesitated for a moment, then answered softly, "Miss Bai, my name is Xiao Si." Her voice trembled slightly, clearly surprised by Bai Wei's sudden question.
"Xiao Si..." Bai Wei murmured the name softly, her gaze remaining fixed on Xiao Si without moving an inch. Xiao Si felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at like that by Bai Wei.
“You look so much like the previous lady, it’s like you are the same… person.” Xiao Si finally mustered up the courage to say these words. Although her voice was not loud, it sounded particularly clear in the quiet space.
"Then tell me, what kind of person is that person Fu Shiyue mentioned before?"
“Miss Bai, Madam’s name is Ye Xingran. I haven’t known her for very long. Young Master is very fond of her, but everything she likes is exactly the same as everything you, Miss Bai, including your appearance. Not only are your habits the same, but even your ways of speaking are sometimes the same.”
She was startled; she hadn't expected to be so similar to Ye Xingran.
Ye Xingran and Bai Wei are the same person; she has simply lost her memories.
"Where is she now?"
Bai Wei pressed further. Xiao Si lowered her head, her voice choked with emotion, "Madam...she's gone. I heard she's been missing for a long time. I heard she suddenly ran away during her wedding ceremony with the young master, when they were about to exchange rings, and then she disappeared..."
After hearing this, Bai Wei's face turned extremely pale, and she gripped the armrest of the chair tightly as if she wanted to crush it.
"She disappeared at the wedding? Then she must have left wearing a wedding dress..." Bai Wei's voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to control her excitement. "Tell me, is she getting married to Fu Shiyue? And she left wearing a wedding dress?"
Bai Wei's emotions suddenly became extremely agitated. Her eyes widened as if she wanted to see right through the other person. Her body also began to tremble slightly, as if she had suddenly rediscovered fragments of her past memories.
She remembered being found by her father on the beach, unconscious, wearing her wedding dress. The pure white dress shone brightly in the sunlight, yet it stung her eyes.
"Tell me, is that right?" Bai Wei's voice was almost a scream; she had completely lost control of her emotions.
Startled by Bai Wei's appearance, the other person's body trembled involuntarily, and he stammered, "Miss Bai... Madam is indeed going to marry the young master, so she must be wearing a wedding dress. What I said before is true, but as for what happened to Madam afterward, I don't know."
A mix of emotions welled up inside Bai Wei. She didn't know whether she should be happy about her previous identity or sad for Bai Wei.
Bai Wei stood frozen in place, images of the wedding dress and the wedding ceremony flashing through her mind. Her head was throbbing, and blurry fragments of memory kept flooding back.
But she remembered that at the wedding, she suddenly ran away for some unknown reason, and was later found unconscious on the beach by her father.
"So I am Ye Xingran..." Bai Wei murmured to herself, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She collapsed to the ground, feeling that everything had truly become too absurd.
This is truly absurd...
She was the woman he deeply loved, Ye Xingran.
But she is Bai Wei
It's just the same person.
It turns out that Fu Shiyue's various actions towards himself were perhaps because he saw himself as Ye Xingran.
"You can go out now," Bai Wei said wearily. Xiao Si was also frightened by the situation, nodded, and immediately retreated quietly.
Bai Wei sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. She didn't know how to face Fu Shiyue, nor was she clear about her feelings for him.
Just then, it started raining outside the window. The raindrops hit the glass and made a crisp sound, as if telling a sad story.
Bai Wei looked out the window, her gaze gradually hardening. She was determined to find out what had happened before.
Why did I marry Fu Shiyue? And why did I suddenly leave during the wedding?
Bai Wei smiled bitterly and said to herself, "There must have been a reason why I ran away from the wedding, but I can't remember it all right now. There must be something going on."
Bai Wei decided to start by looking for answers from those around her. She got up and searched the room, hoping to find clues related to the past. In a hidden drawer, there was nothing.
There was only one box, which was opened inside.
She looked at it, and then opened it out of curiosity...
Inside the box was a photograph, and that photograph was of her.
