"Madam, Young Master has asked me to bring you a set of clothes to change into. Please allow me." She said and Li Xue smiled at her before nodding.

Although Sister Margaret didn't say anything to Li Xue except for that one sentence, Li Xue still felt it awkward. So, she quickly explained. "I didn't know that this was your Master's room, Sister Margaret, so I came here to get fresh in my lack of knowledge. Hope it doesn't look too bad, since it has never been my deliberation."

Sister Margaret paused in her steps when she heard the lady. She was dumbfounded at her words for a moment, but then she remembered the state of the lady. Shaking her head, she said, "Please Madam, don't feel awkward. I truly understand your state. Furthermore, I should have sent a maid to help you out earlier. It was my fault."

Li Xue found her especially kind. So, not making it tough for her, she said, "No, no, it's okay. I am fine."

Giving a small nod, the old lady looked past Li Xue and then said, "Then Madam, I will bring you a set of clothes." She spoke as walking in brisk movements, she quickly went inside the closet.

For a moment, Li Xue didn't realize her actions but then when she saw her reappearing back with a set of clothes, she understood. But still, she was surprised. She never had thought that in his room there would always be ladies' wear.

"Madam, you can change into this. And if you need anything, the maids are standing outside. Please call them." She said, and Li Xue took the clothes from her.

Just when she was about to walk away, Li Xue stopped her. "Sister Margaret, this dress … Does your master bring wome …"

Before she even spoke, Sister Margaret understood what doubt the lady must hold. So, waving off, she quickly interrupted to say, "Definitely not, Madam. Our Young Master has never been such a person. This dress *ahem* is of her wife." She hesitated a bit since she knew that she couldn't reveal more but at the same time, she couldn't let her Young Master get judged wrongly. So, in the end, she came up with something suitable.

But the moment Li Xue heard her, the light in her dimmed. Although Sister Margaret realized what made her so dull, there was nothing she could do. In the end, switching the topic was the best, so she quickly said, "Don't worry, Madam. This is a fresh piece that has not been worn. You can change into it and come down. Young Master and little young miss are waiting for you for lunch."

Li Xue smiled at her and nodded. "Just give me a few minutes, Sister Margaret. I will get ready and come." She said and then the old lady left.

Getting changed, Li Xue took a last look at herself in the mirror. The dress looked custom-made for someone but for some reason it fit her so perfectly as if it had been designed for her.

"I wonder how his wife was. Looking at this dress itself, I could tell that she must have a good body. As for her looks, WeiWei's beautiful features are enough to say." She mumbled to herself as an unknown pain spread in her head. Just when her mood would have gotten sour, her eyes flashed with the scene that happened with her in the bathroom earlier.

Nope, that wasn't a lie. Our moment was so natural. It couldn't be just for anything. Furthermore, didn't Feng Yi Lan say that we were together, ready to start a new life. Then that must be it. As for his wife, no one knows about her. This only means that she is no longer around and might never return. She thought to herself, unbeknownst that with her thoughts like that she was giving herself hope to hold on for a bit longer.

"I will ask him today itself." She set a determination in herself as she turned and walked out of the room. Reaching the door of the room, she was ready to open it to step out when suddenly she hated hearing the whisper outside.

"Finally, things are getting back on track. Do you know how hard the previous month has been? Even though we never faced Young Master's wrath, every day it felt like I was walking on eggshells."

Li Xue heard and at once knew it was the maids whom Sister Margaret left here for her help. During their conversation, Li Xue paused. One month. Hasn't her accident also been a month ago?

"Previous month was a black month. Although we were not mourning, the atmosphere was no less. I still remember how lifelessly Young Master had appeared with little young miss in his arms. I have never seen him like that. He blamed himself." Another voice spoke and Li Xue's lips curled up on their own, remembering how Yi Lan said that he blamed himself for her accident.

"Don't you feel Young Master loves Madam too much to feel so much for her"

"If not Madam, who else will he love? She is his wife and also the woman he has loved all his life. I have heard that for her he has even severed his ties with his mother. He loves her a lot."

Just when Li Xue was about to believe that it was her for whom he felt so much pain, it appeared that all this while she was living in her own bubble that was bound to be pricked sooner or later.

"You two are still standing there busy bodying? Didn't I say that you should check if Madam needs anything?" Suddenly Sister Margaret came and the two maids got all silent.

Turning around they opened the door of the room, only to get stuck in dumbfoundedness. At once looking down at the floor, one of the maids asked. "Madam, you are here standing like this. Do you need anything?" They asked anxiously but in the politest tone.

Sister Margaret also came to look at her. Finding the lady in a daze, she was about to ask her. But before she could, Li Xue smiled and said, "Sister Margaret, you are also here. I was about to go downstairs. You don't have to come here again. By the way, did you set the table?"

Sister Margaret could sense something amiss. But she could not put a finger actually. So, in the end, nodding, she said, "Yes, Madam. Everything is arranged. Young Master and little young miss are just waiting for you. If you are ready then we can go."

She said and next, Li Xue nodded, "Let's go then." Then at once, she got on going while Sister Margaret and the maids followed her from behind.

While downstairs, after whatever happened in the bathroom, Feng Shufen was trying his best to not let it get reflected on his face. But his control over his emotions and himself became much weaker than he thought. He was no longer capable of concealing his true self, especially in front of her.

Leaving WeiWei at the dining table, he excused himself to a corner to make a call. The call went through instantly and from the other side came the eased voice of Qi Shuai. "Shufen, didn't you take a day off today. Rest well at home. It's been ages since you have taken a break. So enjoy your best and leave the rest in the company of me and Gao Fan. We will look over everything."

He kept rambling on his own. But when he heard nothing coming from the other side for quite a long time, he pulled away the phone to check if the call was even ongoing or not. Seeing that it has not gotten disconnected, he said, "Shufen, is my voice even reaching you? Hello? Shufen?"

He called continuously only to hear a grunt after a while. When confirmed he was still there, he asked with a frown. "What happened to you? Why do you sound like you were dueling with yourself inside?"

"..."

When he still didn't hear him saying, he sighed to say, "Shufen, you can't be hard-headed again. The doctor has clearly told you to not keep things to yourself rather than talk it out. Do you want your situation to worsen than it already is? Tell me what happened?"

After a while, Feng Shufen spoke, "We kissed."

Before his words sounded normal but the next moment when Qi Shuai processed them, he jolted. Standing up at once, he asked, "Did she remember everything?"

Feng Shufen hummed in denial as he said. "She doesn't but she asked me if we were together earlier."

"Doesn't that mean that she is remembering things slowly? Anyway, what did you say to her then? Did you accept?" Qi Shuai asked expectantly but the bleak reply of Feng Shufen disappointed him.

"No. I didn't."

"Why? Shouldn't you have revealed it? This was your chance." Qi Shuai didn't understand why he didn't take a chance when all this while all of them had been waiting for it.

Feng Shufen's eyes darken. Of course, more than anyone, he wanted to accept. But then, he can't feign ignorance of her condition. "She was having a headache; The doctor has clearly said any severity will make her lose her memories completely. I couldn't take the risk. I can wait."

[NOT RELATED TO THE CHAPTER: Although it is a bit long, please read it full.]

P.S: Dear reader,

Thank you for always been patient and understanding towards me. As I have also said before, your love and support has been all that has kept me going these two years. Yeah, you read it right, it's been two years. I know I have not given many mass releases to impress you guys in this journey but believe me, I was simply incapable of that, I guess. I even made you wait for the chapters many times. But I am grateful that you all have been still been along with me all this while.

The book is about to end now. I thought to end it this month. But then as you all know; I have to shift to a different city for my studies which I have done last week and that's why the updates stopped for a meanwhile. Shifting to the new city took a toll on me. I fell ill terribly, and the updates were further delayed. All of this was not my intention but it happened.

I have still not fully recovered but I am better now and will start updating from today on. So welcome back. The story could end anytime soon, so don't stop supporting it in its ending days.

Before last month, my CE informed me that the book could get the highest ending event that would include exclusive badge, frames and other benefits for readers. And I was so excited for it thinking that my hard work of the two years would be well paid off. But recently that I have not released a few days, she informed me that the stats of the book dropped and not it's not enough to get the big event. I really wanted the book to get one and there is still some hope. But for that I would need all of your help. In return, I will try to release more chaps.

So, please if you think that I and the book deserve this, please help me support it with votes and gifts. Your every vote and gift will make a change, so vote and gift it. The book has never received any big gift, if anyone of you think that it has deserved one then please gift one. Sorry for the shamelessness, this is the first time I am asking it.
