The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 62

She turned to him only to see his lips stretched and drawn back. She saw the faint outline of wrinkles between his brows. He was holding back something from her.
"I should have known…" he trailed off. "I shouldn't have left you with him."
"Known what?" She looked at him in confusion. Wondering what he was talking about. Her mind just felt lost at that moment. She may have gained back memories of him but they were just pieces of their time together. She recalled the time he visited her at home just to 'borrow' her from her parents. She still couldn't remember their faces but she remembered their names. Li Bingbing and Lu Xian Yu. She remembered being left with Si Hongqi but just like her parents, she still has to remember how he looked.
Their eyes met. Yong Liwei was staring at her with mixed emotions seen in his eyes. The beat of his heart echoed inside him. He felt a heavy feeling in his chest, suffocating him. He sighed, somehow releasing the tension inside him. He took the glass she was holding and placed it on the bedside table. "Since you remember me… do you remember what I've told you?"
What he told her?
He turned back to her. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he heaved out a sigh and reminded her, "I have enemies."
"Yes but…" she stopped mid-sentence. She remembered that time in his car. He warned her. "I got into an accident because I saved someone," she continued.
Because she saved someone? He shook his head a bit, disagreeing with her words. "I don't think so."
A crease formed between her brows. Once again, uncertainty filled her eyes. "What do you mean?"
Another sigh escaped his lips. She doesn't remember. If she did, then she would have said that it wasn't an accident but instead… she was captured. "You may not remember it yet but according to Si Hongqi, after you got into an argument with him, you got off his car in the middle of the highway. There was no accident. If there was, he would have known. Your family would have known," he explained lucidly. "It was either you rode someone else's car and ran away or someone kidnapped you."

Kidnap? Her eyes went wide. She has no memory of what happened or her argument with Si Hongqi but if it was coming from him, there was no reason for Yong Liwei to lie. She already knew that Bai Keran has been lying to her all this time but she never thought that he would have lied to her about her accident too.
"But… why would Bai Keran help me live?" She thought out loud. "I could have woken up with my memories intact. I could have recognized him and sued him."
"You don't have to force yourself to remember any of it." He didn't know how she survived after being kidnapped. Somehow, he considered her being alive as a miracle. "I don't think he's the reason you're in this state. I've been in partnership with the Bai family for years. They are not my enemy." He sounded so sure about it.
She refused to believe him. It was hard when she already knew what kind of person that old man was. "He lied to me, Yong Liwei. He told me that I was his adoptive granddaughter, that I was his grandson's fiancé. He married me to him. I have also recently found out that he has been holding a grudge against the Lu family. There's no way he's not connected to what happened to me."
Yong Liwei became quiet for a while. He has never had any conflict with that family. "What if he was just taking advantage of the situation? For all we know, there can be a possibility that he didn't know you at first when he saved you."
Now that he said that, it could be possible too. Lu Mengjie thought. She has been in a coma for two months. It was enough time to find out who she was. But there was still doubt inside her. "What made you so sure that it's not him?"

"He was not at the charity event we attended neither was any of the Bai family members. You were my partner. I introduced you as my lover so that means, whoever was behind what happened to you was in that party." There were almost 300 people at that event. Some he recognized as his business rivals and a few people he was not on good terms with. "There is a high probability that the mastermind was there."
Yong Liwei already warned Lu Mengjie. They were prepared for what was to come except… they never thought that the enemy would act so fast just within the same night of seeing them together. He felt guilty and responsible. "I don't know how you escaped…" he paused and reached out to gently hold her hand. "But I'm glad that you're alive…"
She looked down at his hand. The warmth coming from his hold felt familiar, she couldn't help but be drawn to it as she held his hand back. She was relieved. Finally, she was with someone she could fully trust. Someone she knew. Someone from her past. Someone who knew her. He could have just stopped looking for her. Their relationship wasn't serious after all. It was just starting. She remembered that he was also a busy man but here he was.
"I'm sorry, Mengjie… I failed to protect you," he said as he cast down his eyes.
"It's fine. It's not your fault. Besides, it's not like we made promises to protect each other." She didn't blame him. Their relationship was not out of love.
Lu Mengjie suddenly remembered something which made her place her hand on her stomach. She felt her heart pound in her head. She was pregnant. He was the only man she slept with. A small fear grew in her chest as she thought that if she was captured, there was also a possibility that…
A sharp headache appeared. "A-argh!" She groaned loudly.
