The male protagonist of a sweet romance novel went on a killing spree in the world of angst novels.

Chapter 208 I Choose You

Since yesterday, Yanting has felt that something is off.

She pinched the bridge of her nose.

A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Yanting looked out at the lawn through the floor-to-ceiling window.

at this time.

A cat's meow was heard.

She looked down.

"Cat Consort?"

The cat, Guifei, wagged its tail and rubbed against Yanting's leg.

Yanting bent down and hugged the cat concubine in her arms.

She stroked the cat's fur and whispered, "Do you think I've forgotten something?"

Cat Consort licked Yanting's fingertip, seemingly to comfort him.

Yan Ting lowered her thick, dark eyelashes, as if she were thinking about something: "I must have forgotten something?"

As she thought about it, she frowned.

"what exactly is it?"

She tried hard to recall, but she could never quite grasp the missing memory.

Seeing Yan Ting's blank expression, the cat concubine couldn't help but meow a few times.

Yanting looked somewhat disappointed: "Why can't you remember?"

She sat there for a long time without moving.

At this moment, Yan Shiqing walked in.

His gaze froze when he saw Yanting's appearance.

He saw a pair of moist, amber eyes.

Those eyes held confusion, pain, and bewilderment...

"Only one."

Yan Ting stared blankly at Yan Shiqing: "Big Brother."

Yan Shiqing pursed her thin lips.

To be honest, seeing Yanting like this really made him feel bad.

He hadn't expected Yanting to have such deep feelings for Chen Xiao.

It was so profound that he felt a sense of heaviness within it.

When Chen Xiao left, he left some people behind.

The main concern was for Yanting's personal safety.

Today is the second day since Chen Xiao left.

Yan Shiqing originally thought that even if Yan Ting regained his memory one day, it would be after a period of time.

But I didn't expect it.

Just 30 hours later, Yanting regained her memory.

"Liar." Crystal-clear tears streamed down Yanting's face.

Yan Shiqing panicked immediately.

"Only one."

Yanting just sat on the balcony, muttering "liar" over and over again.

Yan Shiqing asked with some concern, "Zhizhi, what's wrong?"

Yan Ting raised her eyelashes, and a thin layer of mist covered her amber pupils.

Why did you lie to me with him?

"..."

In an instant, Yan Shiqing fell silent.

Unexpectedly, Yanting remembered Chen Xiao so quickly.

Only a few dozen hours have passed.

Yan Shiqing even had some doubts about whether Chen Xiao's hypnosis was reliable.

However, Bai Zhi said that Chen Xiao's hypnosis had never failed.

In other words, Yanting somehow managed to recall all of Chen Xiao's memories.

Yan Shiqing took a deep breath and said, "Zhizhi, I hope you can understand him. He did this just to find a way home for you."

Yan Ting replied calmly, "Without him, do you think I would have gone back?"

"..."

Yan Shiqing smiled bitterly: "That's why he hypnotized you to forget him before he left."

"but--"

Yan Ting interrupted him: "But you didn't expect me to remember Chen Xiao so quickly, did you?"

Yan Shiqing did not speak.

"Big brother," Yanting sniffed, his voice low and hoarse, "he has already sacrificed far too much for me."

Chen Xiao came into this world voluntarily.

The only reason he came into this world was because of her.

Yan Ting could never imagine how much Chen Xiao had gone through to come into this world.

Yan Shiqing's tone was somewhat complicated: "Zhizhi, you have to trust him."

"I believe he will come back."

Yan Ting wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then suddenly smiled and said, "I won't wait for him."

Yan Shiqing was stunned.

Yanting: "I will bring him back myself."

at this time.

The servant's voice suddenly rang out.

"Master of the house."

"Madam Yu wishes to see you."

……

Yan Ting didn't like Yu Xin'er, but she still went over based on some suspicion.

However, the look in the other person's eyes disappointed her.

Those weren't the familiar eyes she'd seen before.

Yu Xin'er looked at Yan Ting with a somewhat uneasy expression: "Tingting..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yanting interrupted her: "Madam Yu, we're not close enough for you to call me Tingting."

Yu Xin'er choked.

Then, she whispered, "Can you... forgive me and Yanxu?"

"Forgive?" Yan Ting found it somewhat amusing: "Why should I forgive you?"

"We didn't know you were our biological daughter before. If we had known, we would never have treated you like that. So can you give us a chance to make amends?"

"unnecessary."

Yan Ting's eyes were cold: "Belated compensation is worth less than grass."

The damage from the previous life has already been done.

Does this mean we can forgive them in this life simply because things didn't turn out the same way they did in the previous life?

If that's the case, then it's utterly ridiculous.

Yu Xin'er's face paled: "I know you resent us, but if you hadn't been switched at birth..."

Yan Ting suddenly interrupted her sophistry and slowly said, "Even if you had known I was your daughter, you wouldn't have been willing to let Yan Lan wait to die."

Both Yanting and Yanxi understood this very well.

Humans are biased creatures.

I always show some favoritism towards the animals I like.

The same principle applies to people you like.

Even though Yu Xin'er knew that Yan Lan was a vicious person, she still couldn't bear to see Yan Lan die on the operating table. So she could only choose to let Yan Ting sacrifice his life to fulfill Yan Lan's wish.

Why?

Yanting really wanted to ask, "On what grounds?"

She knew Yu Xin'er was soft-hearted, but that softness was particularly harsh when directed at Yan Xi.

Looking into Yan Ting's icy gaze, Yu Xin'er couldn't help but feel a little scared.

After a moment, she said softly, "I was really happy when I was pregnant with you. You've always been a quiet child and never bothered me." As she said this, her expression turned slightly sad: "You are the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could I not love you?"

Yan Ting was not moved by Yu Xin'er's words; she simply asked a question—

"If Yanlan and I were both in mortal danger, and you could only choose one, would you choose me?"

“…” Yu Xin’er almost uttered the name Yan Lan, but she swallowed it back down her throat.

Looking at Yu Xin'er's hesitant expression, Yan Ting's face betrayed neither sadness nor disappointment. She simply asked in a calm tone, "Is it difficult to choose?"

"I choose you."

Yan Ting suddenly looked up.

Then they met a pair of very familiar eyes.

Those eyes held a gentle smile.

"I choose Yanting."

Yan Ting burst into tears instantly.

"Mother?"

Yu Xing smiled gently: "Nannan."

She really is my mother.

Yan Ting threw himself directly into the woman's open arms.

Yu Xing ruffled Yan Ting's hair; her consciousness actually came when she heard Yan Ting ask that question.

From God's perspective, she saw Yu Xin'er's favoritism and the indifference on Yan Ting's face.

Yu Xing didn't want Yan Ting to be sad, so she tried her best to control Yu Xin'er's body and said those three words to Yan Ting—

"I choose you."
