Are you suggesting I inherit three wives' households? I'll marry my eldest brother and bec

Chapter 376 Please give me one more chance, okay?

Ming Xiangyang stepped forward, wanting to hug her, but Shen Li pushed his hand away.

Ming Xiangyang lowered his head even further, his voice filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, I was selfish. Lu Sheng's condition couldn't be delayed any longer, and you went to see him every day. I was afraid he would suddenly wake up and expose my lies..."

"If I had known he would lose his memory, I would never have let him fake his death and make you so sad." He explained urgently, trying to make her understand his predicament.

Shen Li looked at him, her eyes filled with a complex and unreadable expression: "Then what do you think I should do to you now?"

Ming Xiangyang subconsciously reached out to wipe away the tears on her face, but Shen Li suddenly turned her head away, the indifference in her eyes like an ice pick, piercing his heart with pain.

"Lili," Ming Xiangyang pleaded, his voice trembling with tears, "You can punish me however you want, hit me, scold me, I'll take it all, just please give me another chance, okay?"

He can't lose her.

In the past, when he couldn't get it, he didn't even have the thought of living. Even if there was life-saving medicine, he had no desire to live.

Now that he has unexpectedly won her favor, how could he be willing to let go?

Shen Li looked at him, her expression weary and bewildered: "I'll do anything..."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Ming Xiangyang's eyes, and he eagerly replied, "Yes!"

"I need to calm down."

Shen Li said, each word distinct and resolute, "I don't want to see you again."

Ming Xiangyang swayed violently, the color draining from his face instantly. He stared blankly at Shen Li for a long time before finally uttering a single word in a hoarse voice: "Okay."

He slowly turned around, and his once upright and straight back now appeared particularly hunched and desolate, as if he were stepping on a knife's edge with every step.

As Shen Li watched his retreating figure, tears finally broke free and streamed down her cheeks—she truly didn't know how to face him; she needed time, she needed to calm down.

In the days that followed, Shen Li never saw Ming Xiangyang again, even when she took a walk in the courtyard.

Lu Cheng and Lu Sheng also had a tacit understanding; they never brought him up on their own initiative, as if he had never existed.

But Shen Li knew in her heart that he was still in the courtyard, just deliberately avoiding her.

Because there are always a few dishes in her three meals a day that have a familiar taste, which is Ming Xiangyang's unique cooking skills.

Sometimes, she could vaguely sense a pair of gentle and worried eyes in the shadows, always following her.

Days passed by, and before we knew it, it was late autumn.

The leaves of the two old trees in the yard were gradually turning yellow. A gust of wind blew by, and the withered leaves swirled and fell, covering the bluestone path.

Shen Li moved a deck chair to the yard and sat there basking in the sun. The warm sunlight shone on her body, bringing a touch of lazy comfort.

She gazed at the falling withered leaves, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Behind the window of the room, Ming Xiangyang watched her quietly.

Seeing that she had fallen asleep, he immediately grabbed a thin blanket, hurried out, and gently covered Shen Li with it before Feng Ye returned with a blanket.

His gaze fell on Shen Li's protruding belly, his eyes so tender they could melt your heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly reached out and gently placed his hand on her belly. He felt a faint fetal movement at his fingertips, the power of life.

At that moment, all his anxiety, guilt, and unease vanished, and his heart was at peace like never before—as long as she and the child were alright, nothing else mattered.

When Feng Ye arrived with the blanket, she saw this scene and stopped in her tracks, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

She never believed in love before because her father was a complete scumbag. She and her sister were beaten and tortured by their father since they were young, and her mother was beaten to death by her father because she could not give birth to a son.

Later, she risked her life to escape with her younger sister.

It wasn't until she arrived here that she understood that unforgettable love truly exists in the world, but not everyone can encounter it.

But sometimes, encountering too many of these things isn't necessarily a blessing; instead, it can lead to endless troubles and entanglements.

Zhao Qing, standing beside Feng Ye, looked at her lost in thought and didn't say anything, just stood quietly by her side.

The six security personnel have been by Shen Li's side for many years. Among them, he and Feng Ye have spent the most time together and are the most familiar with each other.

Pregnant women are naturally prone to sleepiness, and Shen Li slept until sunset.

When Lu Cheng came home from get off work, he saw her lying quietly on the recliner, the afterglow of the sunlight shining on her face, making her look exceptionally gentle.

He walked over quietly and sat down beside her, his eyes full of doting affection.

Shen Li slowly opened her eyes, meeting Lu Cheng's gentle gaze as she awoke. She then noticed the thin blanket covering her and her heart stirred slightly. "Second Brother, you're back."

Lu Cheng nodded, picked up the strawberries from the small table next to him, and said with a smile, "These strawberries were just bought, they're very fresh, have a taste."

As he spoke, he picked out the biggest and reddest one and held it to her lips.

Shen Li opened her mouth and took a bite. The sweet taste spread on her tongue. She smiled and said, "It's so sweet. Second Brother, have some too."

Just then, Lu Sheng came out of the house. Looking at the two of them looking so affectionate, he said softly, "Second brother is back. Dinner is almost ready. Have some fruit and come inside."

Shen Li nodded, and with Lu Cheng's help, slowly got up, subconsciously avoiding Lu Sheng's gaze, and followed him towards the main hall.

Shen Li didn't dare to look directly at her elder brother, because looking at Ming Xiangyang's face would remind her of him.

She now harbors resentment towards Ming Xiangyang and feels guilty towards her elder brother.

Seeing that Shen Li refused to look him in the eye, Lu Sheng's eyes dimmed instantly, and a strange bitterness welled up in his heart.

Lu Cheng witnessed all of this, patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder, and whispered to comfort him, "Big brother, don't overthink it. Li Li just hasn't figured it out yet. Perhaps we can ask Ming Xiangyang if there's any way for you two to switch back."

Lu Sheng nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes: "Okay."

Although he had no memory of Shen Li, Lu Sheng had a strong premonition that he wanted to see her smile, to make her happy, and he couldn't bear to see her even slightly sad.

Whenever he saw her frowning, his heart would clench, a feeling that was extremely painful.

During this period, he has been taking the medicine given to him by Ming Xiangyang, along with acupuncture treatment.

Occasionally, fragments of my childhood flash through my mind, blurry and indistinct.

He didn't know how long it would take for his memory to fully recover.

He wanted to recover quickly; he wanted to know all the little things they had shared.

He wanted to know all about their past relationship.

But then I thought about it, and even if I remembered the past, now he has a bright and sunny face.

Lili didn't even dare to look him in the eye. Even if he recovered, could Lili like him?
