Chapter 767: Chapter 767: You Have to Wait in Line if You Want to Snatch

If right now, Suizi felt a twinge of strangeness towards Jingting despite their familiarity, then she felt utterly alien towards the reflection of "herself" that these little details brought up.

From the words of many, she knew that the 25-year-old her was not only a pretty woman but also a blissful mother of two perfect children.

She was capable of maintaining a good balance in family relationships - having her superstitious mother-in-law treat her as if she were her own flesh and blood. Plus, she had her initially weird and eccentric sister-in-law completely devoted to her. Even the neighbors from the Wang Family alley were always considerate towards her.

She managed her household immaculately, she could design and decorate, study horticulture, and she was even well-versed in educating children.

And this was merely part of the information, more unknown aspects remained for her to unravel.

When the 17-year-old Suizi met the 25-year-old herself through other people’s voices, her first reaction was - How could that be?

She was timid and suffered from low self-esteem, she felt that she couldn’t handle things properly, she even had a bit of social anxiety, finding it hard to communicate with others.

How could such a person like her ever become the "perfect muse" in everyone’s eyes in the years to come?

Hence, Suizi’s first reaction was to drag Jingting to a quiet place, lower her voice, and whisper seriously:

"Actually, isn’t it me who is cursed? Is it possible that I am not Chen Hansui, but some lost soul that has taken over? Yu Tiegen, why don’t you ask your mother to conduct an exorcism ritual and have me expelled..."

A twitch tugged at the corner of Jingting’s mouth.

He had just seen her continuously staring blankly at their house, mistakenly thinking that returning to the familiar scene had rekindled her memories.

Turns out - this was her reaction?

"There’s no need for an exorcism, all that hocus-pocus is nonsense – you know this already--and judging by your reaction, you are definitively my wife. You can’t escape.’

"But I can’t do anything..." Suizi was on the verge of crying.

She felt herself so foolish compared to the "future" her, incapable of doing anything properly. The admiring glances from everyone terrified her.

"Take it slowly, you weren’t born knowing how to do everything."

"I can’t, I feel I can’t." Suizi instinctively reached to tug on her two braids, only to realize she no longer styled her hair that way, and instead began tugging on her ponytail.

"....." The young woman held the grudge for pulling at her braids for so long, yet here she was doing the same thing to herself?

"You can do it, you have to believe in yourself," Jingting cooed with a patient temper.

The more he cajoled, the more she crumbled, tugging on her hair and descending into a self-doubting state.

"I can’t do it, I can’t make it, I am incapable of anything, and I am starting to feel breathless--Ack!"

Suizi’s eyes widened, watching the man lean in, grabbing her chin, and his warm lips closed in.

"Good heavens!!!!!" Chen Lijun’s scalp pricked when she saw her daughter whispering to her son-in-law and turned to look, her eyes covered one each of the two children to protect their innocent views insisting Jiaojiao and Xiaopang: "You two, turn around!"

Was this something kids should see?!

Jiaojiao sighed, thinking how melodramatic her aunt was being.

How naive it was of her to think that Jiaojiao had never seen this level of intimacy between her brother and sister-in-law after living with them for so many years?

She had witnessed much worse. Back then, when she accidentally caught her brother touching her sister-in-law’s chest, did she complain even once?

Chen Lijun was both anxious and frustrated. While trying to shield the two children from the inappropriate view, she kicked Fan Huang.

"Aren’t you going to do something?!"

"Pfft." Fan Huang chuckled, "What is there to restrain? Perhaps they are frequently intimate with each other like this. Maybe Suizi will remember things after witnessing this."

That was also Jingting’s thought.

Since coaxing her didn’t work, he used the "artificial respiration" method to incite shock therapy!

The effect was immediate.

Suizi, whose eyes shut close when he kissed her, fainted.

If it not for Jingting’s quick hands, she would have fallen straight to the ground.

She was overwhelmed and had collapsed.

Jingting was severely reprimanded by Chen Lijun.

"Her emotional age is only 17, barely older than Jiaojiao, how can she withstand your advances? Tonight, you two should stay in separate rooms, not together!"

"..." Jingting was at a loss for words, but he couldn’t refute her comments.

Because his shock therapy was indeed...kind of useless

Suizi hadn’t woken up, or perhaps, she might be pretending to be asleep, avoiding facing reality. Jingting could only slouch towards the courtyard to smoke a cigarette.

He took out a cigarette, but didn’t feel like lighting it up.

What if she hated the smell of smoke and wouldn’t let him get close?

Fan Huang came along to give him a pat on his shoulder.

"There’s no need for you to be too pessimistic, Suizi always sees you as different, haven’t you noticed that since her discharge from the hospital, she only interacts with you? Only talks to you."

This shows how unique Jingting is in Suizi’s eyes. Her degree of acceptance towards Jingting far exceeds that of others.

"Take it slow, look at the bright side, perhaps this is heaven’s way of giving you both a second chance to reconnect. Suizi has been too understanding over the years, consider this as her taking a vacation, and giving us a chance to look after her properly. If you feel it’s too much to handle, her mother and I can take over."

The last sentence, spoken with an abundance of gentility, actually conveyed a very firm stance

If you can’t do it, we’ll take over.

Capable men are tested in times of turbulence; if Jingting turns coward at the critical moment, her parents will take their daughter back.

"I believe, I can handle it." Jingting had already adjusted his mood, and Fan Huang was reassured when he saw that Jingting was no longer in despair.

"Young man, going through some trials will make the bond stronger--However, I’m rather curious, how did you manage to adjust so quickly?"

When Fan Huang first saw Jingting, he was in low spirits, yet now, Jingting was filled with vitality again.

"Our tension is nothing compared to what Suizi must be feeling now. She must be feeling even more scared and helpless at the moment. If I don’t stand tall, she will have a harder time." Jingting took a deep breath, "It’s okay, when she wakes up, I’ll let her punch me a few times and scratch me a few times. It’ll be better for her to vent her frustrations, rather than bottle them up."

"Her mother is really upset. I’m okay, it may sound absurd to you guys, but this kid didn’t grow up by my side. When I met her, she was already an exceptional girl. In comparison to her mother’s expectations of her, I feel more guilty than hopeful. I would be very happy if she could rely on me like a teenage girl but evidently, she trusts you more now."

It was rare for Fan Huang to be so talkative. He really valued his son-in-law, Jingting,

Suizi losing her memory was indeed testing Jingting’s character, but so far, Fan Huang was very satisfied with Jingting’s handling of the situation.

"Perhaps, you’re willing to give her back to her mother and me, and let us bring her back--"

"Alright, Dad, stop dreaming. She is my wife, and I’m the one who’ll pamper her. If you want to steal her from me, then get in line." Jingting interrupted his father-in-law. This old man was sly.

They were beating around the bush, but all they wanted was to snatch his wife from him.

The sound of their conversation was not loud, but it managed to reach the ears of Suizi, who was pretending to sleep on the bed.

Suizi’s nose twitched, and she almost burst into tears again.

But there was a warmth brewing in her heart. It was like the first glimpse of early spring sunshine melting the ice, non-aggressive and non-abrasive, just an invariably comfortable warmth.
