Chapter 828: Chapter 869: Xu Yingying Wakes Up

"Sister... brother-in-law... My sister just moved her hand! Her hand really moved!"

Li Yifei rushed in, and Xu Shanshan grabbed his arm, speaking excitedly and incoherently.

Li Yifei looked toward Xu Yingying, only to see her still lying on the bed, apparently unchanged. However, he felt that she truly had woken up.

At the bedside, Li Yifei was indescribably nervous. He gently took hold of Xu Yingying’s hand and stammered, "Wife... Yingying, have you woken up?"

Xu Yingying lay motionless, but her hand was warmer than usual.

"Wife, you really have woken up, haven’t you? If you’ve woken up, open your eyes. We’re all waiting for you. Hurry and open your eyes to look at us."

Suddenly, Li Yifei felt Xu Yingying’s fingers lightly move. This filled him with great joy and he said more excitedly, "Wife... wife, you truly have sensation."

By this time, Su Mengxin and the others had already arrived in the room. Hearing Li Yifei say this, they all crowded around excitedly, eyes fixed on Xu Yingying, waiting for the moment she would open her eyes.

Finally, Xu Yingying’s eyelids moved, seemingly requiring a great effort to open her eyes. This caused everyone in the room to cheer. After nearly two months, Xu Yingying had finally awoken.

"Thank heavens, Yingying, you’ve finally woken up!"

"Yingying, if you hadn’t woken up, we would’ve been so worried!"

"Older sister, you finally showed some conscience."

Xu Yingying’s newly opened eyes were somewhat unfocused. After a while, they slowly became clear. Her eyeballs, which had not moved for a long time, seemed a bit stiff as they slowly rotated, looking one by one at the people by the bed.

"Shanshan... Mengxin... Yifei... Who is this?"

Xu Yingying had not only opened her eyes but had also spoken. When she called out to Xu Shanshan, Su Mengxin, and Li Yifei, the three of them were overjoyed. However, when she looked at Ning Xin’er, she acted as if she did not recognize her.

This left Ning Xin’er at a loss, her face showing embarrassment, unsure of what to do.

Meanwhile, Li Yifei’s heart sank a little and he asked, "Yingying, you don’t recognize her?"

Xu Yingying shifted her gaze back to Ning Xin’er, furrowed her brow, and said, "I seem to have seen her before... but I can’t remember who she is."

"Sister, she’s Ning Xin’er." Xu Shanshan was still caught up in her excitement and hadn’t noticed Xu Yingying’s odd behavior. She quickly interjected.

"Ning Xin’er... the famous star?"

"Yes, yes!"

"How come you’re here? What’s happened to me? Why do I feel like my whole body is... without strength?"

Li Yifei and Su Mengxin exchanged a glance. Xu Yingying’s awakening was certainly great news, but now there seemed to be a problem. Su Mengxin hesitated a moment before saying to Xu Yingying, "Yingying, do you not remember what happened to you?"

"I..." Xu Yingying closed her eyes, as if trying to remember something, then opened them again and said, "It seems like I just went to sleep, no big deal, but why do I feel so weak? Am I sick?"

Xu Shanshan’s eyes widened as she said, "Sister, do you really not remember?"

"Was there something?"

Xu Shanshan became anxious and hurriedly said, "Sister, you were injured, and you’ve been in a coma for nearly two months."

"Ah! Two months, then what about the company?" Xu Yingying became anxious and struggled to sit up.

Li Yifei quickly went over to support Xu Yingying and said urgently, "There’s been no trouble in the company, you don’t have to worry."

Su Mengxin also said hurriedly, "Shanshan is now posing as you to manage the company, and I’m assisting her. Nothing is wrong."

"That’s good, that’s good." Xu Yingying sighed in relief and lay back down, apologetically saying, "Mengxin, I’m sorry, you entrusted the company to me and I failed to manage it."

Su Mengxin smiled and said, "Why apologize? We’re family. There’s no need for such formalities. Now that you’ve finally woken up, that’s the best news."

"Thank you all, I will recover as quickly as possible."

""

Su Mengxin nodded and said, "Then you should rest well, we’ll go out first."

After speaking, Su Mengxin signaled to Ye Yunzhu and the others with her eyes, and they all walked out, leaving Li Yifei alone; as her husband, it was naturally time for him to communicate properly with Xu Yingying.

"Why are you still here?" Just as they reached the door, they heard Xu Yingying say.

Li Yifei then sat by the bed and spoke softly, "Wife, I’m here with you."

"Wife? Who’s your wife?" Xu Yingying raised her voice considerably, even showing anger.

Xu Shanshan and the others abruptly stopped, but they all turned around.

Li Yifei hurriedly said, "Wife, I know you’re still angry with me, and I and..."

"Stop, make it clear to me, Li Yifei, you’re just an employee in my company, when did I become your wife?"

Li Yifei was stunned as he looked at Xu Yingying, because right then Xu Yingying was clearly not joking, and the angry expression on her face was certainly not feigned.

Su Mengxin quickly stepped forward, anxiously saying, "Yingying, you really don’t remember Yifei is your husband?"

Xu Yingying widened her eyes in disbelief, "Mengxin, why are you making such a joke too? Although we’re quite close, we’re just colleagues, when did we ever get married?"

Everyone was dumbfounded at this; what was going on with Xu Yingying? She recognized Li Yifei, but didn’t know he was her husband. It seemed like amnesia, but she knew everyone but Ning Xin’er, and right after waking up, she was concerned about the company, which was in line with Xu Yingying’s character. But not knowing Li Yifei was her husband? What was happening?

Xu Shanshan became anxious, saying, "Sis, think carefully, brother-in-law is really your husband, you’ve been married for over half a year, how can you not remember?"

"Shanshan, is this true? Did I really marry him?" Xu Yingying was also suddenly frantic, looking desperately at Xu Shanshan as if hoping she would shake her head.

Xu Shanshan nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, you really did marry him."

"This... how is this possible? You must be mistaken." Xu Yingying shook her head, but she had just woken up and was still extremely weak. She felt dizzy and quickly closed her eyes.

Su Mengxin said, "Yingying, don’t get agitated, maybe you just woke up and have forgotten some things. You rest for now, we won’t disturb you." Then she signaled everyone with her eyes, and they all tiptoed out.

In Su Mengxin’s room, Li Yifei frowned and said, "What’s happening? Why doesn’t Yingying recognize me as her husband?"

Su Mengxin replied softly, "Don’t worry, maybe she just woke up and still hasn’t remembered some things."

But Ye Yunzhu shook her head, saying, "I’m afraid it’s not that simple. I’ve been observing Yingying closely all this time, and she truly seems to have forgotten. And it’s not just that she doesn’t remember Yifei as her husband; she seems to have forgotten all about her romantic relationships. She doesn’t know our relationship with Yifei."

Li Yifei and Su Mengxin both had stronger observation skills than Ye Yunzhu, but they were too emotionally involved and hence not as composed as Ye Yunzhu, so they had missed some important details.

"Could that be?" Both Li Yifei and Su Mengxin, as well as Ning Xin’er, widened their eyes in shock.

Ye Yunzhu gave a wry smile, saying, "I wish it weren’t so, but looking at Yingying’s condition, it seems to be the case. She only remembers our friendships and our work partnership, which is why she can recognize us. Since Ning Xin’er only has emotional entanglements with Li Yifei and no other connections with her, she doesn’t recognize her."

"Can memory loss be selective?" Ning Xin’er stammered out her question.

Su Mengxin had also calmed down by this point, shook her head with a wry smile, "Though I don’t want to admit it, the fact seems to be so. But who knows when Yingying will remember everything."

Li Yifei knitted his brows, saying, "Then let’s take it slow. Now that Yingying has woken up, that’s great news for us. As for when she will remember everything from before, that’s just a matter of time."

Su Mengxin gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s certainly good that Yingying woke up, but now she has forgotten about her romantic relationships, and that’s going to cause big trouble for our relationships. Think about it, even if you show her the marriage certificate and she accepts you as her husband, will she accept us? Can she accept that her husband has so many other women, and that they’re all together?"

Everyone was dumbstruck at this thought; Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xin’er had done so much for Li Yifei and had made so many concessions. Now that they had finally established this situation, Xu Yingying’s amnesia threatened to shatter it all.

It seemed as though everyone had returned to square one, with no progress made, and even... things had become more complicated.

Su Mengxin then added, "Since it’s like this, I think we should all keep quiet about our relationships with Yifei for now. That way, it’ll be easier for Yingying to accept him. Once she does, we can slowly reveal our relationships to her. Plus, her memory may come back at any time, and things would then return to normal. Yunzhu, Xin’er, you’ll have to bear with some discomfort now."

Ning Xin’er quickly said, "I’m fine with it, but Yunzhu is about to give birth, what about that?"

Ye Yunzhu sighed deeply, "What can we do? For now, let’s just let my daughter be a child without a father."

Li Yifei shook his head and smiled bitterly; he had been longing for Xu to wake up, but this awakening had brought about such a situation, truly catching him off guard.
