2.4% The Devil who devoured Snow White / Chapter 8: Three months [EDITED]

Chương 8: Three months [EDITED]

"I will submit that a year after our marriage."

A year...?

"But I want you to sign this right now," he continued. "If you're worried about what you will receive, you don't have to. Two million. You'll receive two million alimony as long as you promise not to show yourself in front of me after our divorce." 

How could he? Why couldn't she have this man? Why was he so against it? They looked so perfect with each other and she was sure that things would work out just fine for them if they tried to work things out. 

She was willing to discuss terms with him but by signing the document, it only meant that he was never going to give their relationship a chance. He was never going to try to love her. He was never going to try anything.

She looked at the file once again and ended up staring at his signature. Even his signature was beautiful, each stroke was neatly written.

'Sign it.'

She didn't want to…

Once again, her subconsciousness opposed her heart. A part of her was willing to sign the papers, glad that he offered something like this.

She sat on the side of the bed and took the pen that was on top of the drawer. 

"Do you have someone else you love?" She asked, wanting to get straight to the point. That was only the reason she could think of. There was no other plausible excuse. Yes, this should only be the reason why he was so against their marriage in the first place.

"I do," he answered straightforwardly. There was no hesitation in his voice. He really must love that other woman. He stood up and walked away from her. He clearly didn't want to stand close to her or even give her another glance because of her attire. 

In Mengmeng's eyes, Bai Jingye was treating her as if she was a disgusting person right now. It only made her feel awful. She didn't want to be with a guy who would treat her badly like this. If he was already treating her like this on their first day of marriage, then it was only right for her to back off.

"What is her name?" She asked as she uncapped the pen.

This time, she was able to make him look at her again. He raised a brow. "Why should I tell you?"

"I, at least, deserve to know the name of the woman who has your heart, don't you think so?" She lifted her head. 

The look in her eyes changed just like how it did when she retorted at his brother. The woman who looked like an anxious rabbit earlier was now looking at him with strange calmness in her eyes.

For some reason, Bai Jingye couldn't help but feel that something dangerous was sleeping inside her. The way she talked to his brother was a hint. 

This woman... Just who was she? What was her real temperament? It was still unclear to Ba Jingye why that devil-like man would want him to watch over her.

He brushed the thought off. He promised that guy that he wouldn't question his ways. "Tian Ruyi. Her name is Tian Ruyi."

It was just a mention of the other woman's name but Mengmeng could see how his eyes softened upon saying that woman's name.

Ah, how unfair. So he could manage to even give that kind of look, huh? She felt a small pang in her chest when she realized that she never stood a chance. 

Maybe it was better to end their relationship early while her feelings weren't strong enough for him. Maybe it was better to start putting distance. There was no use in trying to get something she couldn't have. It would only put her in an early demise.

"Three months. You can submit this after 3 months instead," she said crisply, if gloomily. She tore her gaze at him. Her hand trembled a bit as she hesitated on signing the papers.

"Very well. The earlier, the better," Bai Jingye replied, somehow relieved that she offered a shorter term.

She bit her lower lip as she tried her best not to cry about something like this but she couldn't help but feel lost at that moment. Even after two weeks had already passed, her memories were not coming back. Didn't the doctor say that it was just temporary? So why was it taking so long?

After signing, Mengmeng stood up and placed the papers on the coffee table.

"Bai Jingye… I was never your childhood friend, was I?" She suddenly asked, her head hanging low. "Grandpa never adopted me, right?"

Bai Keran probably lied to her since she saved his life. It was easy to piece things together especially after how she saw how everyone treated her as a stranger. 

"I guess you're not a fool after all," he replied coldly but with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Chương 9: Can't you read? [EDITED]

Did they really think that she became foolish just because she lost her memories? She scoffed at the thought.

"I may have amnesia but that doesn't mean my IQ went down…" she mumbled to herself, a pout forming on her lips.

"We will be leaving for Japan tomorrow," he said, changing the topic.

Tomorrow... She was going to another country to live with him there? Why did she feel like they were trying to hide her by rushing things? Why did it feel like they were running away from something… or maybe someone?

"Grandfather's men might be wandering outside so I cannot leave the room. I'll sleep on the sofa."

"Oka-" she paused and instantly covered her mouth as she suddenly felt her stomach lurched. She rushed back to the bathroom to throw up the food she ate earlier.

On the other hand, Bai Jingye was surprised upon seeing her that way so he ended up following her from behind.

"What's wrong?" He frowned as he looked at her.

"I... don't feel well... I think I ate too much ear-" She threw up inside the bowl again. She was paler than a sheet of paper and lathered in sweat. She never felt so nauseous ever since she woke up. She heaved and heaved until there was nothing but an empty pit in her gut.

Bai Jingye sighed at the sight and didn't have a choice to get a cup of water and offered it to her which she gladly took, but that even forced its way up.

The toilet bowl was filled with the food she ate earlier but this time, it smelled sour. The man's frown went deep so he reached out and pressed a button on the side of the wall to flush everything away.

"Have you been feeling nauseous lately?"

She raised her head to him in surprise. "H... how did you know?" 

The man didn't answer and instead, he left the bathroom to go back to the sofa. He took the phone that was on the coffee table and tapped on the screen.

No matter how it looked, Bai Jingye couldn't help but doubt that everything was alright. She was a woman with an unknown background. With her memories gone, who knew what she had gotten into during the days before she lost them. For all he cared, she could already be a married woman. Married to that Devil. This was why he was so against marrying her. 

Bai Jingye knew that he was only being used to hide her but… things were different now that she woke up. Three months... He just has to tolerate this woman for three months. For now, he needed to find out if she really was pregnant. If she was… he should tell that man. There was a huge possibility that person already knew about her pregnancy as well. If so, why put her in danger's way? Why give her to Bai Keran?

Ignoring those thoughts for now, he messaged his assistant and ordered him to buy a few things.

Mengmeng went out of the restroom and this time, she wore the bathrobe to cover her body. 

She was wobbling a bit as she walked towards the bed. Her body felt so weak. Though she has somehow got used to the feeling, since she had always been feeling unwell ever since she was discharged from the hospital. She just thought that it might just be because of what happened to her. 

During her stay in Bai Keran's place, she kept quiet about her condition. It had only been two weeks since she left the hospital so she thought that maybe she was still recovering from whatever internal injuries she suffered from the accident.

Shortly after, a knock was heard.

Bai Jingye walked and opened the door only to see his assistant, carrying two paper bags with clothes inside.

"Be early tomorrow."

"Yes sir."

He shut the door and turned to look at the woman who was gazing weakly at him. He sighed inwardly. So much trouble.

"Here change into this," he said as he went and handed her one of the paper bags to which she accepted.

Mengmeng was relieved to see the comfortable clothes inside but what caught her attention next was the two small rectangular packages on the side. She pulled it out just to check but her eyes widened in surprise after seeing what it was.

"Eh? W-what is this for?" Mengmeng asked, slowly raising her head to him.

"Can't you read?" He frowned at her.  He was clearly annoyed by the innocent look on her face. It only made him feel soft and he hated it.

"W-what I mean is…" she stuttered and paused to look at the box again. "I can't be pregnant… right?" She added, less sure.

"We won't know until you use that kit."
