Now that Gu Yuyan had seen Shanon’s face with her own eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief. As if Shanon had no threat to her. She refused to believe that any man could be so blind as to be attracted to a woman like Shanon.

So now, Gu Yuyan’s attitude toward Shanon had become much nicer.

Rong Qi lowered her gaze and smiled faintly. She said, “If you want to express gratitude, just give money to me, Miss Gu. I happen to be short on cash.” Hearing that, Gu Yuyan frowned slightly, but then her expression relaxed. She thought solving it with money was certainly good. So, Gu Yuyan chuckled softly and said, “Alright.”

However, a hint of disdain flashed through Gu Yuyan’s mind, although she didn’t show it on her face.

With this unexpected incident, Lu Chengzhou insisted on escorting Rong Qi downstairs himself. Unable to refuse him, she let him see her off.

Rong Qi contemplated whether she should find an opportunity to tell Lu Chengzhou the truth. But she was afraid of involving the innocent Lu Chengzhou.

Not long after Rong Qi returned to Clearcreek Mansion, Ye Nanshen also came back.

Rong Qi sat at the dressing table, removing her makeup, when Ye Nanshen embraced her from behind. He said, “Little Qi, you don’t need to wear makeup anymore or go to Xihuang Bar for treatment either. Just do it here at Clearcreek Mansion, with only the two of us.”

Rong Qi smiled, knowing Ye Nanshen had heard what those people had said about her. She spoke softly, “It’s okay, this isn’t my real appearance, and I don’t care what they say. Ye Nanshen, have you investigated me?”

After a moment of silence in the room, Rong Qi’s voice finally broke the quiet. Her face, devoid of makeup, appeared especially pure.

Rong Qi continued, “1 mean, after realizing that I’m not a retard, after knowing that I might have concealed a lot of things from you, have you investigated me?”

Ye Nanshen brushed along Rong Qi’s black hair with his fingers and said, “If you want to tell me, I’ll listen, Little Qi. If not, I won’t pry. You just need to know, I’m always there for you, someone you can rely on.”

Rong Qi’s heart slightly trembled, and she began speaking slowly, “1 learned medicine from my grandfather. Forty-two years ago, he conducted an experiment. However, the laboratory exploded, and the experiment failed. He was forced to step down from the position of Chairman of the Leucia Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and the incomplete reagent disappeared in that explosion. Because of that, my grandfather lived in seclusion, consumed by guilt. He said he owed two lives, and he would never be able to repay that debt in his lifetime. I am here to atone for his sins. I was abandoned by my biological parents from birth, and it was my grandfather who raised me and taught me medicine. He said that I was born in this world to atone for his sins. 1 have been searching for the victims of that experiment, using the identity of Shanon to relieve their suffering. But 1 know that the guilt cannot be completely absolved. There are countless victims of that experiment.”

Then, Rong Qi spoke with a touch of irony, “It’s quite ridiculous. A few years ago, when my grandfather left without a word, 1 had already given up. But then 1 went abroad and met you. I decided to become Shanon again. Ye Nanshen, 1 owe you. The K3 in your body is the virus released in that experiment. I will cure you.”

Rong Qi’s last sentence was spoken lightly, as if she were promising Ye Nanshen, yet also as if she were speaking to herself.

In this world, apart from the predecessors who participated in the experiment, Rong Qi was the one who understood the K3 virus the most. So, even though medical practitioners like Lu Chengzhou had tried their best, they could only alleviate Ye Nanshen’s pain, unable to truly treat him.

Encountering Ye Nanshen on the streets of Merica when he was having an episode, made Rong Qi recall the painful memories completely, compelling her to face it all over again.

Ye Nanshen stood behind Rong Qi, and a trace of heartache flashed in his deep black eyes. He said, “I believe you. Little Qi, this isn’t your fault. When your grandfather conducted that experiment, you hadn’t even been born yet. It has nothing to do with you. You’re not guilty, my Little Qi is pure. No one wanted that experiment to fail. It wasn’t something you could control. You’ve done well already..”
