His Majesty is Scheming - C199
Once Long Zhenghao left, Ling Meng Pearl immediately jumped down to the ground. The alcohol’s effect caused her body to sway for a bit, but she managed to stabilize herself. With one hand against the wall and the other stroking his dizzy head, he walked towards the bathroom step by step. When he went in, he didn’t forget to look at the door as if he was afraid that Long Zhenghao would suddenly rush in.
Looking at the huge mirror, Ling Mengzhu took off her clothes and turned around. The fingernail-sized scar on his arm was clearly visible. She was stunned, staring at the scar in the mirror, thinking back to Long Zhenghao’s words.
Not only did his ex-wife have a mole in the same place as her, even the scar on her body was the same. His ex-wife had died in a car accident. Was the woman in the car accident really herself?
The shocked Ling Mengzhu stood there for a long time. She couldn’t even imagine the possibility that she was Long Zhenghao’s ex-wife. She and Long Zhenghao were clearly enemies, enemies that she would never be together in this life!
She twisted the water in the tap to its maximum capacity and poured it over her head. The cold sensation made her feel much more awake. However, when he woke up from the drinking, his mind was preoccupied with a bunch of messy thoughts. It was Long Zhenghao’s ex-wife … This information exploded in her mind like a small bomb. It was really too sudden.
After standing under the shower for half an hour, Ling Meng Zhu turned off the water, dried her body, put on her clothes and walked out. When he passed by the lobby, he saw Long Zhenghao sitting on a chair on the balcony, smoking. The red spot between his fingers was flickering in the dark of the night. Smoke hovered around him, and it was obvious that he was annoyed and only smoked when he was bored.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Mengzhu then lifted her foot and walked towards the balcony, standing beside him as she softly said, “Your wound has not recovered yet, so you can smoke. You’re a doctor, you should know better than me.”
Long Zhenghao looked up at her and saw her wet hair on her shoulders, and her pajamas. She was completely sober. The smell of alcohol all over his body was replaced by a delicate fragrance, which was mixed with the light sea breeze and pounced towards his nose.
He put out his cigarette in the ashtray and asked, “Are you all right?”
“Much better.” Ling Mengzhu sat in a chair on the other side and stared at him. The sea breeze blew his hair and his clothes fluttered in the wind. Under the night sky, she seemed even more charming. It was really hard for Ling Mengzhu to imagine that the man in front of her was her husband before she lost her memories. How could this man who was so perfect in front of other women be possible?
“If you continue to look at me like this, I will have wild thoughts.” Long Zhenghao smiled. He picked up the cigarette box, thought for a while and put it back. Then he picked up the cup on the table and took a sip.
Ling Mengzhu did not dodge him this time, and continued to stare at him. She then asked, “How did your ex-wife get into a car accident?”
Long Zhenghao didn’t expect that Ling Meng Zhu would suddenly ask this question. After a moment of silence, he said, “I don’t remember.”
I don’t remember … it was clearly an act of concealment. Ling Mengzhan stared at him for a while, and then asked even more questions: “Is she just your ex-wife? You’re divorced? Why divorce? ”
“Why are you suddenly so interested in her?”
“Haven’t you always wanted to know if I was your ex-wife? If you don’t tell me this, how am I supposed to tell you? ” Ling Mengzhu smiled as she looked at him. She was now certain that she was his so-called ex-wife. She just didn’t know why she was in a car accident, nor did she know why she divorced him.
These were the facts that she wanted to know. She didn’t rush to admit her identity, but she was also afraid that Long Zhenghao would hide the truth, no matter if it was good or bad.
When Long Zhenghao heard her words, he smiled again, “Then tell me, why did you have to undergo plastic surgery? What did you look like before that?”
This man is really smart, Ling Mengzhu thought to herself as she bit her lip and said, “Isn’t it normal to make a few cuts when you’re not confident about your appearance? As for what they used to look like, I don’t remember that anymore. ”
Since he was unwilling to say it, of course she wouldn’t say too much. She could still investigate these matters slowly, and it wouldn’t be too late for her to find out before he discovered the truth.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he drank all the water in the cup and finally said, “That’s right, she is my ex-wife. The third day after our divorce is my wedding, and she was in a car accident during my wedding.
No… She was not alone. The only one who could endure the Purgatory pain with her was the unformed child.
Ling Mengzhu looked at him in astonishment, and saw the sadness that appeared on his face. He opened his mouth and carefully said, “Then if she’s still alive, she must hate you.”
Married after the divorce, and even caused such a thing at the wedding. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lin Mofan hated him to the bones, how could he have the courage to perish together with him? Ling Mengzhu suddenly thought of herself. If the current her was abandoned by a man, would she choose to perish together with him in such an extreme way? The answer was obvious. No!
Could it be that after his rebirth, even his personality would change? Back when she was still Lin Mufan, she had actually chosen to die for a man. The current her felt shameless just by thinking about it!
Long Zhenghao didn’t answer her question. He picked up his cigarette and was about to light it up when Ling Mengzhu reached out her hand and pulled it out. And then she stared at him. Silence represented tacit consent. He had already accepted the fact that he was taking on his own wife!
“If you knew she would hate you, why did you look for her? Even if you are alive, I don’t think they want to see you, right? ” It was hard for Ling Mengzhu to believe that under such great hatred, the person who was hurt would forgive him.
“I didn’t look for her. I never thought of looking for her …” Long Zhenghao suddenly lowered his head in pain, his clenched fists pounding against his own head. Regret had turned his handsome face into a mess.
Seeing him like this, Ling Mengzhu was at a loss for what to do. Just as she was about to say something, Long Zhenghao spoke again, his voice still low and hoarse, “I don’t even have the courage to go into her tomb and see her. I know she hates me …”
Back then, after he woke up from the hospital and received the news that Ling Mengzhu had been burned to death, he felt that there was nothing in this world that was worth him being nostalgic for. He felt that everything he had done was meaningless. So he chose to disappear in front of people with her, resuming his zombie-like life.
“Since you can’t bear to part with her, why did you divorce her?” Ling Mengzhan was confused by his expression. He was the one who abandoned her, why was he still in such pain? Is it regret?
Long Zhenghao wiped his misty eyes and shook his head, “Sorry, I don’t want to bring up this matter anymore. If you were her, you wouldn’t ask so. Since you aren’t her, I don’t need to tell you.”
Perhaps in the eyes of others, his pain was just an extremely ordinary life drama. No one would truly understand its essence! Therefore, facing the increasingly curious eyes of Ling Meng Pearl, he once again chose to remain silent.
Ling Mengzhan’s curiosity was immediately interrupted, and she even had the idea of throwing him into the sea. Gritting her teeth, she was considering how she could coax him to continue revealing the truth. Long Zhenghao stood up from his chair and said, “Okay, you just took a shower. It’s best if you don’t blow on the sea breeze for too long, or else you’ll catch a cold very easily.”
After saying this, he didn’t hesitate for even a moment before turning around and entering the house.
After Long Zhenghao left, Ling Mengzhu was still sitting on her chair, blowing on the sea breeze. The sea breeze was indeed cold, blowing on her body that had just been washed away by the cold water. There was a faint bone-piercing coldness in the air as his hands gripped the clothes tightly and he took a deep breath.
After sitting outside for a while, he got up and went back into his room. He crawled into the bed and lay down, and the coldness on his body finally disappeared.
After lying on the bed for a long time without feeling any trace of sleepiness, Ling Mengzhu crawled out from under the blanket and took out the photo that fell out of Long Zhenghao’s wallet, carefully looking at it. She didn’t throw the picture away, nor did she give it back to Long Zhenghao. It was all because the girl in the photo looked similar to her. What she didn’t expect was that she was actually the woman in the photo.
Life was truly a play. It was not something an outsider could control!
The girl in the photo had a sweet smile on her face. It was obvious that she was very happy when she took the photo. Looking at it, Ling Mengzhu couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the unfamiliar yet familiar woman in the photo.
Today was a weekend, and it was also the day for Long Zhenghao to go back to the hospital and reexamine his body. Ling Dreamy Pearl was shaken awake early in the morning, and when she opened her eyes and saw Long Zhenghao standing in front of her bed, she immediately jumped in fright and instinctively sat up from her bed.
“You … Why is it in my room? ” Ever since she got undressed last night, she no longer had a good impression of Long Zhenghao. Any normal man should be lustful, and she should be more cautious.
Although… He had been her husband, he had slept in the same bed as her, but that was all in the past, no longer in her memory, and now he was a stranger to her!
When Long Zhenghao saw how guarded she looked, he knew that he scared her last night. However, he looked very calm now. As if nothing had happened, he looked at her and asked, “Where’s the car key?”
“Car …!” Upon hearing the word ‘car’, Ling Mengzhu, who was crawling out of the bed, was so excited that she rolled onto the ground and hit her head on the floor. The pain made her clench her teeth and tremble with fear.
Long Zhenghao frowned, was there a need to have such a huge reaction? He just asked a very normal question.
