Chapter 951 Conflict
Lin Tan stared at his face for a while, then shook her head: "I don't remember him, but he looks somewhat familiar."
"You really can't remember anything at all?" Huo Sinian asked gently.
Lin Tan shook her head.
Huo Sinian: "It's okay, it will recover slowly."
Lin Tan was completely bewildered; her mind was blank, and she had no memory of anything: "What happened to me?"
"Something happened, and it damaged my brain," Huo Sinian said casually, his lying skills quite impressive. "But those memories from before weren't exactly pleasant either, so it doesn't really matter if I have them or not."
Lin Tan: "?"
Lin Tan: "What memories do you have from before?"
"I'll tell you slowly when you're feeling better and want to know more." Huo Sinian was as gentle as a gentleman. Just by looking at him, without knowing the background, you would really think he was a patient, gentle, and considerate fiancé.
He took care of Lin Tan's feelings, patiently got her clothes to wear, and carried her downstairs to eat.
At the dinner table.
Huo Sinian placed all her favorite dishes in front of her.
"You still haven't told me my name?" Lin Tan's memory was blank, and she had no appetite at all.
Huo Sinian: "Lin Tan."
Lin Tan murmured, "Lin Tan?"
Huo Sinian hummed in agreement.
Lin Tan looked at herself, then at the building she was in, and at the bodyguards and servants everywhere, her eyes filled with curiosity: "Then how can you prove that you are my fiancé?"
Although the person in front of her looked somewhat familiar, her intuition told her that he was her fiancé.
But every time I spend time with him, I always feel a sense of resistance.
This resistance came out of nowhere.
This made her somewhat suspicious.
“These are photos of us living together.” Huo Sinian was prepared and handed her photos of their time living in Jingzhou. “If you want to see videos, I can find some for you.”
Lin Tan took it and looked through it.
She flipped through the pages one by one.
Some of them were laughing very happily, and their eyes showed genuine joy.
But some things just feel a bit off.
"Where are my family members?" Lin Tan suppressed his strange emotions and handed the phone back to her.
"Still looking."
"What's the meaning?"
“Your original parents weren’t your biological parents. They abused and exploited you, and that’s why you got into this mess.” Huo Sinian easily told this half-truth, half-lie. “I’m still helping you find your biological parents.”
Lin Tan was even more puzzled.
What is all this stuff?
"Then who are you?" Lin Tan asked.
Huo Sinian told her.
Lin Tan asked many more questions, which Huo Sinian answered one by one.
Throughout their time together, Lin Tan became less distant and wary of him.
It was evening.
Huo Sinian naturally lifted the covers and got into the same bed with her.
Seeing his natural movements, Lin Tan subconsciously moved to the side: "Why did you come up here too?"
"I'm your fiancé, where else would I sleep if not here?" Huo Sinian reached out and pinched her nose. "We used to sleep together every night, have you forgotten?"
Lin Tan: "I..."
Huo Sinian said, "Right, you forgot."
Lin Tan tried to speak, but Huo Sinian simply pulled her into his arms and covered her with the blanket.
His burning hot body was behind her, making Lin Tan feel extremely uncomfortable.
She instinctively tried to distance herself from him, but as soon as she moved even a little, Huo Sinian forcefully pulled her back into his arms, and then rolled over and pinned her down: "You really don't like me that much?"
Lin Tan paused, then pursed her lips.
She didn't know what to say.
Although her fiancé was very kind and gentle in his words and actions, and very patient with her.
But when faced with his intimacy and touch, her body always rejected him before her mind could react. This rejection came so quickly that she didn't even have time to think before she did it.
“We used to sleep together every day, and you liked to snuggle up to me.” Huo Sinian moved closer to her as he spoke. “We would kiss, do many intimate things, like this…”
As they were talking.
Huo Sinian breathed on her neck, then kissed her with his thin lips.
The moment their bodies touched, Lin Tan felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't know where she got the strength, but she pushed him away and quickly hid to the side.
"Don't touch me!"
Lin Tan blurted it out.
When she saw Huo Sinian's stunned expression after she said it, she felt extremely guilty: "I'm...sorry, I really don't remember you. Although I know you are my fiancé, I'm not ready yet."
"It's okay." Huo Sinian hugged her. "We have a long future ahead of us, let's take it slow."
Lin Tan still wanted to push him away, but she forced herself to hold back when she looked into his eyes.
That evening.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Huo Sinian held her and slept soundly, while Lin Tan did not sleep all night.
The next morning.
When Huo Sinian woke up, he saw Lin Tan with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing that she was very sleepy, Huo Sinian asked, "You weren't asleep?"
"You... I can't sleep." Lin Tan took back the words she had said: "I can't sleep when you're in bed."
He's my fiancé, no matter what.
That sounds a bit hurtful.
Huo Sinian looked at her silently. Without his glasses, his eyes lost some of their sharpness and gained a more complex and profound look.
"I don't know why, maybe..." Lin Tan's eyes were somewhat unfocused as she said this.
Huo Sinian could tell at a glance that she was lying, and knew that she was probably only doing this because he was there.
"No need to explain." Huo Sinian didn't let her continue making excuses. He reached out and ruffled her hair, still maintaining his refined demeanor. "You'll get used to it once we get to know each other better. Do you want to have breakfast before you sleep, or go straight to sleep?"
"Just go to sleep." Lin Tan chose this option without hesitation.
Even she herself didn't know why, she just wanted to keep some distance from her fiancé.
"Okay." Huo Sinian didn't make things difficult for her. "Then you go to sleep first, and I'll have the kitchen cook for you when you wake up."
Lin Tan nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Huo Sinian rubbed her head, got up, put on his clothes, and headed outside.
The moment the door closed, his refined and scholarly demeanor vanished, replaced by a cold and stern expression.
at the same time.
Lin Tan's politeness and smile turned into a complex mix.
After the door closed, she lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling, muttering to herself.
Why?
“He’s my fiancé, but I’m rejecting him.”
"How strange."
Could it be that Huo Sinian isn't her fiancé?
That doesn't make sense.
Those photos weren't photoshopped; the people in them are real.
While she was thinking about these things, Huo Sinian was thinking about the same things. He even went to Shen Yuanqiao to ask him this question: "Didn't you plant the psychological suggestion that I am her fiancé and the only person she trusts? Why are you still so resistant to me?"
"Is it verbal rejection or physical rejection?" Shen Yuanqiao asked.
Huo Sinian recalled their time together yesterday and everything that happened this morning: "My body."
“That might be because her body is resistant to you,” Shen Yuanqiao explained. “Although she was given the suggestion to forget her memories, her sense of smell, touch, and sight can still affect her psychology and behavior.”
"You mean, even if she forgets all her memories, she still resists me?" Huo Sinian asked slowly and deliberately. "This resistance goes beyond the psychological suggestions you've given her?"
Shen Yuanqiao gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."
