After Amnesia, the Seductive Omega CEO Tempts Me to Mark Her 77

Chapter 77: Betting. “If you lose, you have to compensate me with your body.”

Yu Mei silently closed the drawer and stared at the white toothbrush that had fallen into the trash can, dazed.

Could it be that she had been single for too long and had also started to feel lonely and cold?

Yu Mei shivered, had the nanny send another toothbrush over, and after brushing her teeth, she lay down on the bed.

This was the first time she had slept in the master bedroom when she was a guest.

Yu Mei closed her eyes but couldn’t sleep no matter how hard she tried. Although the bedsheets and quilt had been changed, she always felt that the two of them were sleeping beside her.

When she was dreaming at night, she was even woken up by a scare.

“…”

Yu Mei turned on the bedside lamp and found that there was no one beside her. Only then did she realize that it was a dream she had had, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next bedroom, neither Cheng Yang nor Xu Xun was asleep.

After sweating it out just now, Cheng Yang’s heart had been beating very fast.

She held the drowsy Xu Xun in her arms and, remembering the bad thing she had done just now because she couldn’t control herself, she wanted to slap herself hard.

If you can’t control your hands and mouth, what’s the difference between you and an animal?

Cheng Yang let out a light sigh, but it was heard by Xu Xun.

“Why are you sighing? Did someone make you unhappy?”

“No.”

Cheng Yang wrapped her arms tightly around Xu Xun’s waist and said with a smile, “I was just thinking, if we let Meimei sleep in our master bedroom alone, will she find it too strange?”

Xu Xun thought for a moment. “Probably not. It’s always been like this in my hometown. We let the distinguished guests who have come from afar, or good friends, sleep in the master bedroom.”

Cheng Yang said earnestly, “After I married you, I have to respect the living habits of your side.”

Xu Xun asked with a smile, “Shouldn’t it be that you married me?”

Cheng Yang kissed Xu Xun on the forehead. “It’s all the same. We don’t have to care about these small things. We can use whatever we want.”

Xu Xun said, “I’m thinking about our wedding, when it will be held, and where the venue will be.”

When Cheng Yang heard this, her sleepiness was instantly gone.

“Then it must be a sunny and beautiful day, with white clouds floating in the sky, and a gentle breeze. The wind can’t be too strong, and the sun must be warm and gentle. There must be colorful flowers all around, and it would be best if the white clouds were also heart-shaped…”

Just like that, Cheng Yang rambled on, and Xu Xun couldn’t help but laugh after she had finished.

“Is there really such a place in the world?”

Cheng Yang shook her head. “Probably not, but we can plant the flowers ourselves first, and when there’s a warm and sunny day, we can just go and get married.”

Xu Xun thought for a moment and suddenly felt that what Cheng Yang had said was a good idea.

She didn’t really like artificially built venues, but if they were flowers that she had planted herself and they bloomed on their wedding day, it would have a different meaning.

Cheng Yang asked again, “Then what kind of flowers do you think we should plant? Roses or lilies?”

Xu Xun said, “I like Night-blooming Cereus very much.”

Cheng Yang said, “Then let’s plant them. I also like Night-blooming Cereus.”

Xu Xun said with a smile, “But Night-blooming Cereus blooms at night. It doesn’t bloom during the day.”

Cheng Yang belatedly remembered that the Night-blooming Cereus at home did indeed bloom at night, but who would have a wedding at night?

“Then let’s plant something with a good meaning, preferably a variety that can bloom next year. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait a few more years for our wedding. I can’t wait.”

Xu Xun smiled and said, “We’ve already gotten the certificate. We can have the wedding anytime. I’m not in a hurry.”

Cheng Yang said, “I know you’re not in a hurry. If we weren’t public figures, it wouldn’t matter how long you wanted to wait. But I’m afraid of the rumors outside, saying that we got the certificate but didn’t have a wedding, that it’s a fake marriage, a contract marriage.”

“…”

Xu Xun couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Have you been reading too many of those domineering president novels?”

Cheng Yang scratched her hair and said with some embarrassment, “You… how did you know? But I’ve been finding this kind of book quite addictive recently, especially those domineering CEO wish-fulfillment novels. But I always suspect that the imagination of those authors who write this kind of wish-fulfillment fiction seems to be limited.”

Xu Xun asked with a smile, “What imagination?”

Cheng Yang shook her head. “It’s too unrealistic. The monthly allowance of the eldest daughter of a top wealthy family is only 100,000 yuan, and this is supposed to be the richest in the country. When I was in school, I couldn’t use my mom’s card. She would give me five million a month and was still afraid that it wasn’t enough.”

Xu Xun was silent for a moment. “…”

Cheng Yang couldn’t help but say, “The marketing accounts even say that it’s a top-tier wish-fulfillment novel. This isn’t wish-fulfillment at all.”

Xu Xun paused and said, “Mmm… not everyone’s family is rich.”

Cheng Yang was taken aback.

She had just been complaining casually, feeling that these books were written too unrealistically.

Cheng Yang quickly changed the subject. “I was just complaining. Actually, the tacky writing is quite fun. I can read one to pass the time when I’m bored.”

Xu Xun said, “Don’t misunderstand my meaning. I just wanted to say that many authors who write books have never seen the life of the upper class, so they can only use their imagination to create.”

Cheng Yang finally understood that not everyone was born like her.

The way she had said it did indeed have a sense of invisible flaunting of wealth.

Cheng Yang quickly acted coquettishly with Xu Xun and changed the subject. “Wifey, there’s one more thing. Who should we invite to our wedding?”

She remembered that Xu Xun had said before that she wanted to have a small wedding and that it would be enough to just invite close relatives and friends.

Xu Xun thought for a moment, closed her eyes, and said, “Yu Mei, Jian Fan, auntie…”

As she spoke, Xu Xun suddenly found that she didn’t have many friends. She could count them on both hands.

She smiled helplessly. “I have too few friends. It’s just those few people.”

Cheng Yang also counted on her fingers. “Now that you say it, I don’t seem to have many friends either. Sister Qingzhuo’s family of three will definitely be there. The rest of my friends are just the few from the variety show.”

Xu Xun asked with a smile, “Are you on good terms with them?”

Cheng Yang said, “Sister Qin Shi is a very good person. She often takes care of me, but she always laughs at me for being a first-class useless person in life.”

“Sister Qiongan is also not bad, but the moment I see her, I think of Ye Bingying.”

At the mention of Ye Bingying, Xu Xun suddenly said, “When we’re writing the invitations, let’s send one to Ye Bingying too.”

Cheng Yang couldn’t help but widen her eyes. “Ah, send it to her? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll come and cause a scene at the wedding?”

Xu Xun thought for a moment and said, “This is called having a beginning and an end. Since we’ve already made up, what’s past is past.”

Cheng Yang nodded. “Mmm.”

Ever since she had regained her memory, Cheng Yang’s hair would stand on end at the mention of Ye Bingying.

If it weren’t for that kind person who had called the police, she might have been entangled with Ye Bingying for the rest of her life.

Cheng Yang couldn’t get rid of the doubt in her heart. She asked, “Wifey, I want to know who made that police call back then.”

Xu Xun let out a soft chuckle in the darkness. “You really don’t know?”

Cheng Yang was taken aback for a moment. “It was you, right?”

Xu Xun let out a light hum. “It was me. At that time, I knew that was the hotel where your crew was staying. I happened to be working a summer job there, and I was in charge of the cleaning in your area.”

After saying this, she quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to follow you. I just wanted to get a little closer to you. Nothing else.”

Cheng Yang said with a smile, “Tell me the truth.”

“…”

Xu Xun bit her lower lip. “Mmm… it’s just what you think. I wanted to have a chance encounter with you. I didn’t know if you could still call my name.”

“But I worked there for a long time and didn’t dare to take the initiative to find you. Once, I bumped into you in the corridor with my cart, but I was wearing a mask and was fully armed. You didn’t recognize me.”

Cheng Yang held Xu Xun’s wrist and quickly asked, “Was that person you?”

Xu Xun was stunned. “I… I don’t know. It probably was.”

She said with a smile, “But you were on the phone at that time, and you seemed very angry. I just took a look from a distance and left.”

Cheng Yang held Xu Xun even tighter.

“That was my mom. She never agreed to me continuing to film.”

That was the summer after the college entrance exam. Cheng Yang had taken on a folk-themed movie and played an innocent protagonist who was ignorant of the world.

The filming location was in western Hunan, and the crew was staying in a hotel near the countryside.

Cheng Yang said with a smile, “At that time, I was having a tiff with her. She had frozen my card and was forcing me to go home. I got into an argument with her in a fit of anger.”

“At that time, I felt that that person looked very familiar, but it was just a fleeting glance and then she was gone. I didn’t think too much about it afterward. If I hadn’t been blinded by anger at that time, perhaps I could have caught up with you and had a good chat with you.”

Xu Xun’s lips curled into a smile. “Then haven’t you already caught up with me now?”

Cheng Yang nodded, buried her face in Xu Xun’s chest, sniffled, and choked out.

“I never thought that I would marry you in this lifetime. Without even freedom, how could I live happily?”

Cheng Yang stroked the lines on Xu Xun’s palm in the darkness, felt the calluses that had not yet completely faded, and held her wrist and lowered her head to kiss it.

She kissed these traces of labor with her lips and then looked up to kiss Xu Xun on the forehead.

Xu Xun stretched out her hands and held Cheng Yang’s face.

“But you’ve already done it now. Everything is developing in a good direction, isn’t it?”

Cheng Yang nodded, her memory staying on the day she had personally sent Cheng Yourong off.

When she had amnesia, she had known that both her parents were dead, but her emotions were far from as turbulent as they were now.

In this world, the only person who knew Cheng Yang better than anyone else was Xu Xun.

She knew that the other must have thought of the past, so she changed the subject.

“Oh, let’s think about what to write on the invitations. I’m going to write them by hand. You can be with me.”

Cheng Yang wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, “Okay, but my Chinese characters may not be very good-looking. Don’t laugh at me if they’re too ugly.”

Xu Xun let out a soft chuckle. “I don’t believe you. You’re so outstanding. Your calligraphy must be good too.”

Cheng Yang shook her head. “No, no, no. You can’t say that. Everyone has their shortcomings. My handwriting is just ugly.”

Xu Xun didn’t believe her. She knew that Cheng Yang was saying this on purpose.

Hearing Xu Xun laugh, Cheng Yang quickly said, “Really. If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself tomorrow. You’ll know if I’m telling the truth after you’ve seen it.”

Xu Xun turned over. “I don’t believe you.”

Cheng Yang held her from behind. “Then let’s make a bet. If it’s really ugly, you have to compensate me with your body.”

Inexplicable.

Xu Xun asked with a smile, “Why should I compensate you? I didn’t make a bet with you.”

“Let’s bet.”

Xu Xun said coldly and mercilessly, “Gambling is bad for your health.”

“Let’s bet.”

“It’s just a little bet.”

Xu Xun still had her back to her, keeping her at a distance.

Cheng Yang’s eyes flickered. She coaxed, “Think about it. What if you’re right? You can ask me to do anything. Isn’t that tempting enough?”

She thought in her heart, no one can refuse this kind of request, right?

“…”

Sure enough, the next second, Xu Xun’s eyes flew open. “What’s the bet?”
