"I agree! I agree to everything!" She had an indescribable look of anxiety in her eyes.

Gu Liancheng wrote down a string of numbers on a piece of white paper, then handed her a credit card, saying, "Call this number if there’s anything. If something happens, Su Bai will get in touch with you."

Even after he hastily left the place, she was still a bit dazed.

Was he not afraid that...

She would run away after getting the money?

Eleven was rather taken aback.

But then she figured that finding her in Xicheng, if he really wanted to, should be pretty easy, right?

If it hadn’t been for Su Bai, his assistant, contacting her again a month later, she almost thought that maybe he had decided not to marry her.

She only withdrew the amount she needed from the credit card; she left the rest untouched, because she borrowed it. It wasn’t a gift, so taking more didn’t mean she didn’t have to pay it back.

...

Gu Liancheng didn’t respond, and Su Bai sent a message.

In the chat box, Su Bai said they didn’t find anything.

Four years ago, he only asked Su Bai to investigate her marital status. As long as she wasn’t married, he didn’t need to know anything else.

Su Bai: Five years ago, I casually asked a nun, who had been working in that orphanage for over twenty years. When the lady was ten years old, she was sent to that orphanage. When the nun asked if she had any parents, she said she didn’t. And when asked for her name, the nun said she hesitated for a bit before answering she was called Eleven. And when asked for her surname, the lady shook her head. The director of the orphanage’s surname is Fang, so she took that as her surname. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Su Bai knew about this a long time ago, but since Gu Liancheng had never asked him about it, he had never mentioned it.

Why is he bringing this up now?

Gu Liancheng: ’Fang’ isn’t her surname?

Gu Liancheng had just found out about this.

She had never mentioned it.

That is to say, Eleven never talked about herself to him. The Eleven he knew was a cheerful and obedient girl. Of course, this image was to some extent due to her deliberate concealment. Their marriage was unusual, and he did not mind if she hid anything from him.

Su Bai: No, it’s not. The strange thing is, according to the nun, it seemed she had amnesia then, but she still remembered her name. And if it wasn’t amnesia, she couldn’t answer anything back then as if she didn’t remember anything.

Amnesia?

Right, a ten-year-old child already has memories. If she didn’t have amnesia, how could she not remember her parents and where her home was?

But she still remembered her name was Eleven.

Gu Liancheng: Go to the police station tomorrow and ask if there’s a child called Eleven who is missing.

Su Bai: Yes, sir!

He always felt that things weren’t as simple as he thought.

Amnesia seems unlikely.

She hadn’t suffered any injuries, so how could she have lost her memory?

If it wasn’t amnesia, then what could it be?

Gu Liancheng sat on the edge of the bed, caressed her face and whispered, "Tell me, why won’t you speak?"

...

When Eleven woke up, she found herself in the small home she shared with Gu Liancheng.

As she got out of the bed, she was so weak she could hardly stand.

Her head hurt badly.

She leaned against a nearby table, trying to gather herself.

Images from the previous night when she got drunk flashed through her mind.

She still had faint memories of the events before she got drunk: AC Bar, Bai Xiaoxiao.

Then she bumped into Gu Liancheng, and he brought her home.

But the events afterwards... she had no recollection of them...

But vaguely she felt, with her being this drunk, could Gu Liancheng tolerate her? And he even carried her back to the bedroom...
