Chapter 1596: Chapter 1613: What Really Happened Four Years Ago

"N... no, that’s not it." Qi Yue was thrown into utter confusion by the breath of him pressing so close; she hurriedly shook her head, pushed Situ Yan away, and took a step back.

She had always thought Situ Yan was dead, and that everything she once had was already gone like smoke.

But she’d never imagined she would actually get to see him again...

"Good, if you do recognize me, there are some things I want to ask you."

Situ Yan sat back down in the chair and spoke lightly.

Qi Yue was slightly stunned.

The man in front of her was indeed Situ Yan, no mistake.

Even though the way he dressed now made him look like a proper businessman, that icy aura on him hadn’t lessened at all—if anything, it was even stronger.

It was just that that coldness seemed to be hidden beneath a safe exterior, but the moment she got close to him, she felt the air around them drop a few degrees.

She remembered Xiaonuan saying he used to be an assassin.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but shudder in her heart.

Yet the words coming out of his mouth left her completely at sea.

"What do you mean?" she asked suspiciously. This Situ Yan was very cunning—could he be playing some trick again?

"Your name is Qi Yue? I don’t remember ever seeing you... Ever since I woke up, I can’t remember a lot of things." Situ Yan suddenly looked somewhat desolate; he turned, walked to the window, and glanced outside.

Then he turned back to look at her again.

"If you know me, and you know I was injured, then I want you to tell me what exactly happened four years ago."

Qi Yue sucked in a breath of cold air.

She looked at Situ Yan and saw his brows tightly knitted, as if he was in great pain.

"I keep feeling like I’ve lost something, but I don’t know what it is. None of them are willing to tell me the truth, so I decided to come back to the country..."

Qi Yue had never seen Situ Yan wear this kind of expression before.

Even though she had only met him a few times, in her impression, he was both arrogant and indifferent, as if there was nothing in this world he cared about.

Maybe that was the innate aura that came with being an assassin.

But she also remembered that there was one person in this world who could make him gentle, make him disregard everything, even his own life...

That person was Xia Xiaonuan.

Xiaonuan...

The name rose to her lips; Qi Yue almost blurted it out the very next second.

Although she didn’t know Situ Yan very well, she had still heard a bit about Xiaonuan and Situ Yan.

And later, it was also because of Xiaonuan that Situ Yan was almost killed by Nangong Yaoling.

She had thought he was really dead...

But to her surprise, he was still alive—only, he had actually lost his memory.

Qi Yue vaguely understood what that trace of pain in Situ Yan’s eyes was; she knew very clearly who it was that he had lost...

Xiaonuan...

She missed her too, desperately wanted to find her and bring her back.

Qi Yue closed her eyes for a moment.

"You... you really don’t remember anything?" She looked at him, still unable to believe it.

Situ Yan walked closer to her, reached out, and pinched her chin.

"What exactly do you know? Don’t worry, whatever you want, I can give it to you." A cold light flashed in Situ Yan’s pupils, his aura almost oppressive as he spoke through clenched teeth.

He was desperate to fill a certain emptiness in his heart.

However, Qi Yue only shook her head. "I’m sorry, we’ve only met a few times. As for you, I’ve only heard a little."

Whatever you want, I can give it to you.

Qi Yue thought bitterly, at this point, what else could she possibly want?
