Chapter 342 Do We Know Each Other?

After bowing and taking her leave, Yunmu turned to exit the stage.

She had performed under Ji Shu's name and needed to return to the dressing room before anyone discovered her.

However, just as she closed the door,

"Bang—!!!"

a loud crash echoed!

The door to the dressing room was kicked open from the outside, slamming against the wall!

The air suddenly froze, and an icy chill spread throughout.

Yunmu turned around in surprise.

There stood Yi Jue, tall and imposing, staring at her with a stunned expression. His lips trembled slightly, and his deep, dark eyes seemed to burn with pain and struggle upon seeing her.

"It's you!"

Little Blind Girl!

Indeed, it was her playing on stage just now!

Yunmu was startled.

Her clear eyes deliberately shifted aimlessly as she asked uncertainly, "Yi Jue, is that you?"

Then she took two steps forward and stumbled.

In the next instant, she was caught by a pair of strong arms, falling into a familiar and warm embrace.

The swift action left even Yi Jue himself momentarily stunned, wondering why he had so instinctively and familiarly pulled the woman into his arms.

Sure enough, this man, even if he had forgotten her, would still protect her out of instinct.

Had he rushed over in such haste because the music reminded him of something?

A sly glint flashed in Yunmu's eyes, and she smiled, "Thanks!"

Hearing those words of thanks...

Smelling the familiar sweet scent...

Yi Jue's head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer!

He groaned in pain.

Staring at the clear, penetrating eyes of the girl in his arms, everything seemed blurry.

His head throbbed intensely, but fragmented scenes and broken images flashed like lightning, tearing through his mind!

...

On stage, the girl played the violin wearing a veil, asking, "Just the music is beautiful?"

He replied, "You are beautiful too."

...

In the laboratory, he asked, "Will you stay by my side forever?"

The veiled girl answered without hesitation, "Yes."

...

By the seaside in a small fishing village, he held the girl in his arms, saying, "Go to sleep first; I'll wake you when the sun rises."

The girl said, "Tingcheng, shall we live here forever?"

But after dawn, he searched everywhere and could no longer find the girl.

...

He couldn't see the face of the girl in the scenes, but his intuition told him it matched the Little Blind Girl before him.

His fingers tightened around her, his voice trembling with uncertainty and caution.

"Little Blind Girl, we knew each other before, didn't we?"

A sharp pain in her shoulder made Yunmu instinctively look up at him, forgetting to pretend to be blind.

Seeing her not respond, Yi Jue pressed further, "Answer me! What was our relationship before?"

Feeling both angry and wronged, Yunmu looked at him, feeling the pain.

It was he who had forgotten, and it was he who had been with another woman.

How could he now dare to question her so aggressively?

Taking a deep breath, just as she was about to confess, a sudden pain shot through her left shoulder.

In the next moment, she was forcibly pulled into another embrace.

Looking up, Yunmu saw Yunzhe and instinctively tried to break free.

But Yunzhe held her firmly, gripping her wrist.

It seemed that if she dared to move again, he would rather dislocate her arm than let go.

She lifted her gaze to look at the man in front of her, Aju.

His expression suddenly turned icy cold.

In his deep, narrow eyes, there was an uncontrollable anger.

"Let go!"

Yunzhe lifted his gaze and sneered, "Mr. Aju, look carefully where your girlfriend is!"

At the door, Liu Ling, still in her dance dress, stood there pale, helpless, and weakly called out, "Aju..."

Aju's expression paused for a moment.

Yun Mu, who had noticed the change in his expression, felt her heart constrict sharply, a suffocating sensation tightly gripping her throat.

Yunzhe tenderly pulled Yun Mu behind him and looked at Aju with cold eyes, "Mr. Aju, A Mu is not a woman you can toy with. Don't harass her anymore."

Then, he dragged Yun Mu by the wrist, pulling her away.

Without hesitation, Aju was about to chase after them but was stopped by Liu Ling spreading her arms.

"Move aside!" he said coldly.

Liu Ling didn't expect him to chase after Yun Mu even in front of her. Where did this leave her?

Jealousy surged wildly in her heart, and she blurted out, "Chasing after her won't do any good! She's Yunzhe's fiancée!"

Aju looked at Liu Ling in surprise.

Liu Ling took a deep breath and said, "You didn't know her identity, did you? She's not just an ordinary blind girl; she's Yun Mu, the well-known head of the Yun family in Nanming Continent!"

"Yun Mu?"

Liu Ling, "Yes!"

"Again, Yun Mu? The ugly girl from the Yun family..."

"Of course, it's not the same person!" Liu Ling hurriedly denied, "One is a fool who has been mentally impaired since childhood, and the other is the powerful head of the Yun family. Do you think they could be the same person?"

Aju's eyes darkened.

Of course, they couldn't be the same person.

"Even if she is the head of the Yun family, to me, she's still just the little blind girl from Ruoshui Garden..."

"She's not blind at all! She's pretending!"

Aju's gaze instantly turned frigid.

...

Yun Mu was forcibly pushed into the car by Yunzhe, and the door slammed shut with a loud "Bang!"

"Yunzhe, have you gone mad?" Yun Mu tried to undo her seatbelt and get out, but Yunzhe held her down.

"Yun Mu, no more pretending?" Yunzhe stared at her intently, sneering, "Finally stopped pretending to be blind in front of me?"

Doesn't she know how worried and guilty he has been about her eyes!

Every day, he feared that her eyes wouldn't recover, that she would never return to being the proud and invincible daughter of heaven.

But she chose to pretend to be blind and even lowered herself to become a maid for Aju!

Yun Mu, "I only regained my sight recently. I didn't mean to hide it from you; I just wanted to deceive Aju..."

"Are you still not over him? Yun Mu, do you know what you're doing? He already has another woman and doesn't remember you at all!"

"How do you know he lost his memory?" Yun Mu's beautiful eyes instantly revealed a coldness.

Yunzhe paused, his gaze trembling slightly, carrying a hint of hurt.

"What do you mean? Are you suspecting me?"

Yun Mu didn't deny it.

Yunzhe gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Yun Mu, every move of the four major families in Nanming is under my control. I naturally know about Aju's memory loss. If I really intended to do something to him, he wouldn't be alive now."

Indeed.

This was also a point Yun Mu wasn't sure about.

Not only Aju, but even she had many opportunities to be killed by Yunzhe.

But why didn't he?

Yun Mu stared at him and asked, "I'm finding it harder to understand you, Yunzhe. What do you really want?"

The Yun family? Or something else?

What does he really want? Even he himself is becoming increasingly unclear.

He smiled, turned his face away, and looked ahead.

"I don't want anything. If I must say something, it's that I hope you can pull yourself together, stay away from those unrealistic romantic fantasies, and revitalize the Yun family."

Yun Mu closed her eyes helplessly, "I don't want to deal with the Yun family right now. Just drive."

Yunzhe wanted to offer some advice, but seeing that she had already closed her eyes to rest, clearly not wanting to talk anymore, he remained silent and started the car.

But inside, he gave a bitter smile. The Yun family was her responsibility; how could she just let it go?

One day, Yun Mu would understand this truth on her own.
