Capítulo 33: Emptiness In His Heart

Wang Yong groggily woke up and felt his neck feeling a bit stiff. He wanted to use one of his hands to massage the back of his neck but realized that both of his arms were circling Zhi Ruo's small waist.

He slowly looked down and realized that a little head was softly breathing on his chest. Zhi Ruo's hair cascaded down on his left arm holding her while her little hand was on his right hand that was holding her stomach.

Wang Yong slowly chuckled, he felt like he was cradling a little kid.

Zhi Ruo's eyebrows furrowed as she felt that the giant bear that was holding her was moving and snuggled closer to him.

Wang Yong observed her delicate face without any pores, her high nose, her thick eyelashes and her plump rosy lips and sighed, " This little girl is too charming... What am I going to do with her... "

Wang Yong was currently eighteen years old mentally and he was well aware that his situation was not the most favourable one which is why he purposely lied on the IQ test, failing a few more tasks than needed to be designed as more dumb.

Furthermore, Wang Yong has always been far smarter than his peers for his age so he could easily finesse through his way to comprehend a few things by his small pieces of memories.

He hadn't recovered all his memory but by spending a few days with the Zhi Family who kept teaching him all kinds of new skills and knowledge, he rapidly caught up to his real age and unlocked a lot of memories that seemed to be connected to all of these abilities.

He had some recollection of his real childhood and was somewhat informed of his situation. He had a great memory, so whatever he heard, he would store and later on pull it out to process.

Just from hearing the people around him talk, he could deduce he was a high ranked general that somehow got injured, lost his memories and his mental age degraded.

From that, he remembered a few important memories about himself.

However, even with his extremely strong mental strength and his incredible recovery speed, he still couldn't completely attain his normal age nor remember all his memories.

Fei Long told him that they would eventually help him recover his memories when he was at a stable age with hypnotism. Yet, he still lied because of her.

Because he wanted to spend more time with her. He didn't mind if he had to wait longer to get his memories back, as long as he could spend more time with this lovely lady.

From the moment he woke up at the hospital and saw an unfamiliar face, she was most definitely the first one he greatly got attached too. He liked everything about this weird lady. Wang Yong always saw that there was a lot more than her cold persona and he appreciated her hidden tenderness and how soft at heart she was to always end up spoiling him for whatnot reason.

With a closer look, all her real thought or emotions were seen through and never had she felt any pity for him nor thought he was weird even though he kept acting like a child despite his grown body.

Wang Yong snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the clock. It was currently 8:07 am. Zhi Ruo had to wake up to go to work but seeing how well she was sleeping, Wang Yong really didn't want to wake her up. He had seen how much she was overworking herself and even had to take care of him and felt his heart pained by seeing how tired she was at night.

However, she would be even more stressed if she woke up late so Wang Yong reluctantly decided to wake her up.

Wang Yong slightly bent down his head and kissed her smooth forehead. He then took his hand that was on her stomach and lightly tickled her.

" Ruoruo...I think it's time for you to wake up. " Wang Yong gently whispered.

" Hmm..." Zhi Ruo groaned and unwillingly shook her head, " Not now..."

" Yes, now. " Wang Yong laughed at her childlike action.

He sometimes wondered who was the real one acting like a child.

He tickled a little more and Zhi Ruo eventually woke in laughter.

" Stop it! I get it, I will wake up. " Zhi Ruo chuckled and opened her eyes.

She saw Wang Yong's face still close to her like every morning and felt slightly sore from her bad sleeping position.

She looked around her and realized that she was still in her office.

" OMG! What time is it? " Zhi Ruo slightly panicked.

" 8:09 am " Wang Yong obediently answered.

" Fiou..." Zhi Ruo sighed and stood up from Wang Yong's embrace.

She stretched and asked Wang Yong if he will be accompanying her to work today.

" Not today...Uncle Fei told me he will help me recover my memories. " Wang Yong said.

" Oh...okay, be good at home. I'll bring you sweets when I come back tonight. " Zhi Ruo smiled and petted his head.

" Hmm. " Wang Yong happily shook his head, trying his best to act like a spoiled ten years old.

" I will go wash up then. You should also go wash up in your room. See you at breakfast. " Zhi Ruo said before walking out and instructing a maid to help Xiao Yong out.

Wang Yong looked down at his empty embrace and just like it, he felt an emptiness in his heart.

...

" Shouldn't you say sorry after bumping into someone. " Xiao Ling said in an arrogant tone.

Li Wei momentarily looked at the pretty woman dressed in a white sundress and didn't answer, continuing to walk away.

" Didn't you hear me? I said that you should say sorry. " Xiao Ling furrowed her brows unhappily as she grabbed his wrist.

Li Wei disgustingly flung away her hand and said in a cold voice, " What do you want, woman? "

" Say sorry. " Xiao Ling obstinately repeated herself.

" Hmph. " Li Wei sneered and said, " Are you that desperate for my attention? "

Xiao Ling's eyes flashed in surprise by his narcissism and walked towards him, ready to kick him in his private part for revenge but she tripped out of thin hair and stumbled towards him.

They were both too slow so Xiao Ling crashed into Li Wei's chest.
