132 Am I Correct?

Liu Zijian didn't answer. It wasn't that his memory was wiped off. It was because several parts were kind of blurry and hard to recall.

"It's just not clear." He simply answered.

"I see. I'll take over for a while while you're recuperating."

"Tell Dad to stop involving himself. I'll get to the bottom of this on my own."

"So there's really more to it..."Liu Zilong uttered while simply nodding slightly.

"I'm not sure unless I'll get my clear memories back. But it's better to be cautious."

As the two Liu Young Masters continued their discussion, the more the younger one developed his plan.

The following day, Liu Zijian had a guest.

The young woman was ushered inside Liu Zijian's room while Madam Liu decided to stay outside to give the two their privacy. Before she left, she warned Liu Zijian several times not to startle the young woman as she's more delicate than him.

After the door closed, silence enveloped the entire room.

The young woman remained standing near the door. She didn't know what she should do.

Liu Zijian shortly glanced at her but didn't speak further. It seemed he was thinking what should he say to this woman.

After a cup of tea time has passed, he finally said. "Sit over there."

It sounded a command thus the young woman automatically walked towards the sofa.

Liu Zijian observed the young woman carefully.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"They said I am your wife." She said in a small voice and looked at him then quickly withdraw her gaze. Her lips were tightly closed afraid that she might say something unnecessary that will further anger the person on the bed.

She then heard an control breathing as if the person was pacifying his own anger. She halted her own breathing several times. Did she answer incorrectly? But what she said was what the people around her said.

"Go."

"Huh?" The young woman seemed to be lost. She just came in and now she has to go? That's it? But where would she go?

Liu Zijian didn't utter another word again but instead closed his eyes. When after sometime there was no movement, he discontentedly looked at the young woman again.

His eyes definitely were cold and with added annoyance painted on his well defined and gorgeous face, he looked terrifying. The young woman rapidly ran to the door and went out of the room.

When Liu Zijian was again left alone, he recalled little by little the memories that were getting clear on his mind.

Even tough he wanted to ask Ye Ming to clarify the incident happened prior to their accident, the latter was still recuperating. He needed his assistant to be fully healed before he could make a definite plan again or maybe he could pester his brother instead.

Last night when he talked to Ye Long, he found out that he's been guarding the father of his wife. Since he's still lost in some of the details, he opted not to ask further and let him continue guarding that man.

Madam Liu who was talking to some of their people outside was startled when she saw the young woman came out fast.

"What happened?" She asked worriedly.

"Nothing. He just asked me to go.."

Madam Liu's head starting to ache. Why was this kind of scenario seemed to be the same before her younger son got married.

"Stay here. I'll talk to him..."

"Madam Liu..." The young woman wanted her to stop.

"How many times I've told you. Call me 'Mommy Yi.'" Madam Liu answered and held the hands of the young woman who were slightly trembling. "It will be fine."

The young woman reluctantly nodded.

When Madam Liu entered the room Liu Zijian who was lost in thought, came back to his senses when he heard the door opened.

"Little Zi,.." She started. She has many things to ask her son. One was the cold treatment he gave to his wife. Second his sudden decision to move out of the Liu Residence. Third, halting Han Meixiu's training.

"Mom,..We'll move." He cut the words his mother wanted to say. "Trust me."

Madam Liu couldn't say anything anymore.

She normally wanted to ask her son again to reconsider his plan about the two of them moving out of the Liu residence as she's a bit worried about her daughter in law but that simple sentence Liu Zijian spoke rendered her speechless.

"Just don't be too harsh on her."

"En."

"I'll send her first home so she could take a rest." Madam stated. She could bring Han Meixiu with her since the doctor already gave his signal that she's fine now.

"No. Let her stay here. We'll go to that new apartment when I'm discharged."

"But..."

"Mom, You're busy, too." He simply answered. Liu Zijian knew what his mother wanted but since he couldn't trust his memory for now, it's better to be safe and not allowed anyone to the Liu residence even though the person was said to be his wife.

But he couldn't tell those to his mother as he would be 100 percent sure that Madam Liu would end up scolding him.

"Besides, at least if she's here, it would be easier for check ups and such." He added.

Madam Liu sighed. It seemed that she could not argue with her son. "Alright. I'll arrange her things then and send them to your new place."

"I already asked someone. It might be delivered today."

Madam Liu abruptly looked at her son. So he was already arranging everything even though he's still tied on the bed? He was not even fully well!

"Liu Zijian! You're ought to take a rest! What did you do when I wasn't around?" As a mother, how could she not worry?

The young man only closed his eyes thinking on how to escape when his mother's being like this.

"Don't worry." But it was clearly a wrong word to say.

"Don't worry? I'm not allowed to worry? I told you to take a rest and then what? So, you don't listen anymore to me because you're already adult? Is it really that hard to take a rest..." As madam Liu went on with her nagging, Liu Zijian slowly pressed the emergency button near his bed. He needed a help. He's really helpless when his mother would analyse on her own and would recall all the 'incident' of the past just to prove her point.

Soon, a doctor came asking if he's feeling something.

As Liu Zijian explained his occasional headaches, Madam Liu grudgingly looked at her son. She knew his move. Since he's not Liu Zilong, it was even more obvious that he wanted to escape.

Liu Zijian coughed softly as he continued to 'listen' to the doctor while observing his mother in his peripheral vision.

*

It was almost midnight when Liu Zijian was awakened by a noisy sound coming from his one and only brother. They purposely chose this time of the day to meet.

He will be discharged early the next day.

The First Young Master Liu, sat down on the sofa and waved the documents he was holding. Really, Liu Zijian's office works were not suited for him. It made him extremely tired and bored.

"Here. I got the results." Liu Zilong said. He volunteered to help his younger brother not just in his usual work but also uncovering some hidden facts. The latter was more interesting thus he gave it his utmost priority.

Liu Zijian adjusted himself but didn't bother to accept the documents. It was as if he knew what would be the result.

"Am I correct?" Liu Zijian asked. His voice contained traces of coldness and sounded so sure.

"Yeah. She's not Han Meixiu."
