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

Chapter 10



The moment she saw her sitting on the horse's back, swaying unsteadily in the gusty wind with her arms spread wide open, Lu Yu's heart tightened inexorably.

That scene made her seem as if she would float down lightly to the ground like a flower or leaf in the next second.

Lu Yu had been following closely behind her the whole time, and the moment Gu Wan finally stopped, he rushed up almost without thinking.

Lu Yu's face was taut, his teeth gritted tightly together, yet hidden in the depths of his eyes was a trace of fear that even he himself did not notice.

Gu Wan sensed his unusually tense nerves and heard his voice almost squeezed out from his throat. She guessed that her sudden action some ten minutes ago must have frightened him, and quickly said, "I've taken horse riding lessons before, and these trained horses generally know the direction. Even if I let go of the reins, there wouldn't be any issues."

Gu Wan lied. Her horse riding skills were actually not great. If it was a master horse rider, it certainly wouldn't matter much, but for a half-baked rider like her, there would still be some danger.

Lu Yu also knew she was lying, so he ignored Gu Wan's explanation and pulled her to the hotel without another word.

Gu Wan knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't resist at all.

After a while, noticing that she seemed to be having some trouble keeping up with his pace, even stumbling a little, Lu Yu gradually slowed down after calming down a bit.

After Gu Wan's spur-of-the-moment recklessness, the itinerary planned for today was naturally cancelled.

Looking at the two precious horses being led back one by one by the handlers, then at the two untouched reserve horses, Cui Shang couldn't help but clutch his chest. F*ck, that hurt!

However, at this moment, neither Lu Yu nor Gu Wan cared about any of that.

By the time the two returned to the hotel room, the things Lu Yu had asked the hotel for were already being pushed in on a trolley by the hotel staff after about five or six minutes.

Gu Wan was just wondering when she saw Lu Yu suddenly holding a... first aid kit?

Seeing the conspicuous red cross on the box, Gu Wan, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but shuffle uncomfortably, suddenly feeling an urge to run away like a child who had done something wrong.

Just as she was about to explain something, she saw that Lu Yu had already put down the box and sat beside her, turning to look at her as a matter of course.

"Show me your hand."

"Um, actually, it's nothing..."

Gu Wan tried to argue, but Lu Yu was already out of patience. He unceremoniously grabbed her other hand that she had hidden.

Lu Yu didn't know how much stronger he was than Gu Wan. She was no match for him and could only let him do as he wished. Besides, it was too late to hide anything now, so Gu Wan finally gave up.

The next second, the woman's palm opened up. The originally fair and delicate palm was now a mess, with the fine wounds caused by the coarse reins oozing a little blood along with their movements, making it look extremely sorry despite the minimal amount of blood.

Lu Yu, who was already angry, pressed his lips even tighter now.

The wounds from the car accident weren't even healed yet, and now her only uninjured hand was also hurt. In just a few days, she had become battered all over.

Although Lu Yu didn't say anything, Gu Wan seemed to have already heard enough from his eyes.

Gu Wan couldn't help but say softly, "I was too excited at the time. I only felt a little sting and didn't care."

She had thought at most there would only be some blisters, but didn't expect the reins to directly scrape her skin open. By the time Gu Wan noticed, it was clearly too late already.

As expected, Lu Yu's expression turned even uglier after her words.

Just as Gu Wan felt this man might not be about to splash some hydrogen peroxide on her to teach her a lesson, she saw him turn away and take out a bottle of iodine tincture. After soaking some cotton buds, he slowly started cleaning her wounds.

Gu Wan shuffled uncomfortably again. "Um... why don't I do it myself?"

Other than Qianqian, she hadn't been so intimate with many people.

Lu Yu's gaze fell upon her right hand wrapped up like a zongzi. Gu Wan instantly shut up.

Gu Wan had no choice but to watch Lu Yu's movements. Gradually, she realized that although this man had a cold and ruthless-looking face, he was unexpectedly quite gentle in his actions, at least she barely felt any pain.

It must be because of such patience that made him even more frightening.

As Gu Wan watched for a while, she couldn't help but feel emotional inwardly. No wonder she fell for him back then. Whether it was his looks, wealth, or character, he was far superior to ordinary people. At the very least, he hadn't treated her badly, which could be proven from the huge figures adding up to a substantial amount across her various accounts, apart from the share transfer deed in her safe deposit box.

If emotions were not involved, Lu Yu would definitely be the best choice for a husband.

As Gu Wan thought and thought, her eyes couldn't help glazing over a little. Although looking at Lu Yu, there was no focus in her gaze if one looked closely. Thus, she didn't notice Lu Yu's actions becoming stiffer and stiffer under her stare.

Lu Yu didn't know what she meant by looking at him like that and couldn't help overthinking a little, his arm muscles involuntarily tensing up as well.

About five or six minutes later, after treating the wounds, Lu Yu closed the first aid kit with a "snap", as if nothing had happened.

"Done."

Gu Wan instantly regained her senses.

Looking at the other freshly wrapped "zongzi", Gu Wan couldn't help making a bitter face.

What the heck, with her hands wrapped up so tightly like this, how was she going to eat? Not to mention washing her hands and face or showering and so on.

Unable to hold back, Gu Wan tentatively brought it up. As expected, she got a cold snort from Lu Yu in response.

"Who told you to go out without even protective gear?"

Gu Wan was lost for words. Lu Yu was right after all.

It would have been fine if Gu Wan had only injured one hand previously. But now both hands were injured, she basically couldn't go out now. She would have to at least wait for one hand to heal before going anywhere, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.

Watching her clumsy movements, Lu Yu simply called the hotel to have their dinner delivered to the room.

Gu Wan attempted to pick up her chopsticks with the few remaining fingers she had left. Just as she was mentally simulating various methods in her mind, another pair of chopsticks silently appeared before her.

Glancing up, Gu Wan saw Lu Yu's face—calm as ever with an expression as if this were a matter of course and completely natural. Gu Wan glanced down again at her own hands that were just wrapped up in zongzis and instantly understood.

Just when Lu Yu thought she would refuse, his hand holding the chopsticks involuntarily started tightening, only to see Gu Wan voluntarily move closer and bite lightly with her teeth. The piece of stewed tender beef held by the chopsticks thus fell into her mouth.

As long as Lu Yu didn't have any ulterior motives, Gu Wan wouldn't refuse after he had already done something for her.

Seeing her accept the food, Lu Yu couldn't help the corners of his lips curving up.

Afterwards, Lu Yu fed her bite by bite, and Gu Wan ate bite by bite. Although Gu Wan didn't have her memories, she could probably guess that the two of them had unlikely been so intimate with each other when they first married.

When they were both almost done with the meal, seeing Lu Yu reflexively take out a napkin to wipe the sauce she had accidentally gotten on the corners of her lips, Gu Wan suddenly asked out of the blue, "With my hands wrapped up like this, how am I going to take a bath tonight?"

Gu Wan waved her bandaged hands in the air, then watched with her own eyes as Lu Yu, who was lightly sipping his tea at the moment, suddenly choked.

"Cough cough..."

Now Lu Yu also knew she had done that on purpose. Otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically said it when he felt thirsty and was drinking water.

Lu Yu had never known Gu Wan to have this side to her before.

Turns out she also had a vengeful streak.

After finally calming down with some difficulty, Lu Yu glanced at Gu Wan with slight astonishment.

Gu Wan didn't care that he knew.

After a period of silence, Lu Yu slowly said, "If you don't mind, I certainly don't mind either."

Not only did he not mind, on the contrary, Lu Yu was very...anticipative.

Thinking back to the past, Lu Yu's gaze deepened.

After all, they were already married, and those two little red books were still fresh in memory. Plus, Gu Wan didn't dislike him, so she didn't care.

Judging from his clothes, Lu Yu's figure could no longer be described as good, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist comparable to a model's. It was just unknown what he looked like with his clothes off.

It was as if Gu Wan hadn't heard Lu Yu's slightly heavier breathing. Although she didn't have any memories and wasn't afraid at all, she got up and walked to the bathroom after the hotel staff had cleared up all the utensils.

Lu Yu's Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably for a moment. Shortly after, the sound of the bathroom door closing rang out again.

Then, twenty minutes passed before Lu Yu realized he had been tricked.

If he was really the kind of person who only cared about his own release without considering others' feelings, he wouldn't have been able to hold back long before over the past few days, let alone wait until now.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Wan said her hand hurt, he stopped immediately.

While he still hadn't reacted, Gu Wan walked out of the bathroom without an ounce of softheartedness, leaving Lu Yu, who had just carefully cleaned Gu Wan from head to toe with a warm, wet towel, in an awkward half-finished state, very uncomfortable.

At this point, if Lu Yu still hadn't realized what was going on, then he was a fool.

But what could he do? Both her hands were injured, and the wound on her forehead still wasn't healed. He blamed himself for losing his head in the heat of the moment. Clearly knowing that with her injuries all over her body she couldn't do anything, yet he still didn't notice such an obvious trick—he deserved this futile effort.

Lu Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead. He had only wrapped her hands a few more layers...

Although he complained like this in his heart, when he thought of Gu Wan's casual glance, sweat gradually began to appear on Lu Yu's head.

After that, the sound of water in the bathroom lasted for a long time again, nearly half an hour, before Lu Yu finally emerged from it covered in moisture.

Before Lu Yu could say anything, she spoke: "Not bad physique."

Lu Yu: "..."

After that, Gu Wan indeed didn't hear a single word of complaint.

Another half hour passed. Gu Wan first felt the light over her head go out, then the rustling sound of the bedspread rubbing.

Looking at Gu Wan who was still lying on the other side, Lu Yu's heart, which had been restless all night due to a series of events, gradually calmed down.

Probably because he was really unwilling to let the wonderful atmosphere from before disappear, Lu Yu tossed and turned for a while before finally speaking up before Gu Wan fell asleep: "Can you sleep a little closer?" His voice was very steady, as if asking about a trivial minor issue, but only Lu Yu knew whether it was really steady or not.

However, Gu Wan's response was still cold, as if nothing had happened tonight.

"I won't go over."

Before Lu Yu could say anything, Gu Wan asked again: "But why don't you come over?"

Lu Yu was stunned.

After speaking, Gu Wan didn't wait for his answer and simply closed her eyes.

After a while, in her groggy state, Gu Wan felt the man's sturdy yet gentle arm wrap around her waist, unexpectedly yet not so unexpectedly.
