After Amnesia, My CEO Ex-Husband Became a Clingy Gloomy Puppy - Chapter 1

At the police station, the officer was lecturing Qi Xian.

“This is illegal trespassing. Do you understand that you broke the law?”

He nodded obediently. “I do.”

The officer’s tone softened a little.

“Don’t do it again next time, all right?”

He shook his head obediently.

“That won’t work.”

The officer took that as provocation and launched into another harsh round of verbal reprimands.

Qi Xian looked utterly innocent.

“But I want to see her.”

Then he looked at me with grievance written all over his face.

I rolled my eyes.

The officer suddenly realized what was going on.

“Relationship dispute? Are you two a couple?”

He instantly turned shy.

“Not yet, but we will be soon. It was love at first sight for me. I’ll work hard.”

The officer slapped the desk.

“That’s harassment! Since when are people this brazen about breaking the law?!”

I got up to leave.

“I won’t settle-go ahead and detain him.”

The moment I stepped out of the police station, Secretary Li came hurrying over in a panic.

“Ma’am, how did President Qi get arrested?”

I glared at him.

“He broke into my house in the middle of the night and asked if he could tie me up.”

“And this is the ‘law-abiding good citizen’ you were talking about?”

Secretary Li wiped at his sweat.

“I’m sorry, Ma’am, but compared to before, President Qi has already improved…”

“At least now he asks for your opinion first…”

I cut him off.

“If Secretary Li’s sense of the law is just as weak, you can go sit in there with Qi Xian for a few days.”

“Also, Qi Xian and I have been divorced for three years already.”

“Don’t call me Ma’am anymore.”

I ignored him after that and drove straight home.

The next day, news of Qi Xian’s detention shot to the top of the trending searches.

I immediately dumped my Qi Group stock.

That was close. I almost lost money.

Still, I was curious. With Qi Xian’s status, how had he actually ended up inside?

Was Qi Group really about to collapse?

Since this would determine whether I should buy the dip, I pulled Secretary Li out of my blacklist.

He replied instantly.

[Miss Jiang, although President Qi is the head of Qi Group, a Forbes China U30 honoree, one of A City’s Top Ten Outstanding Young Entrepreneurs, the three-year reigning number one on the “Most Popular Male CEO Among Women” ranking, and a top internet celebrity with eight million followers on Weibo-]

Me: [“Emm”]

Secretary Li: [But President Qi said that he is still a law-abiding good citizen, and if he makes a mistake, he must accept legal punishment.]

Me: [Haha]

Me: [When did Qi Xian lose his memory?]

Secretary Li: [Yesterday.]

???

So the moment he got amnesia, he immediately started harassing me?

Secretary Li: [Although President Qi doesn’t remember you, the second he saw you, he fell all over again.]

Secretary Li: [Perhaps this is the power of love.]

Me: …

I’d almost forgotten-Secretary Li wasn’t just a die-hard Qi fan, he was also the biggest shipper of me and Qi Xian.

I blacklisted him again with practiced ease.

Seven days later, I was jolted awake by my phone buzzing with text messages.

Unread messages: 999+.

Before I could even unlock it, my phone froze completely.

Only after I pulled out the SIM card did the world finally go quiet.

I opened the text messages. They were all from the same number.

Qi Xian’s number.

[The detention center is very cold, but as long as I think about you, it doesn’t feel cold.]

[I’ve dreamed about you every day for these seven days, but when I wake up and can’t see you, I feel a little sad.]

[After getting out, I wanted to call you, but Dr. He said I need to respect boundaries.]

[So I’m sending a text first to ask: may I call you?]

[You didn’t reply, so I won’t call.]

[Just now I wanted to call you again.]

[But I held back.]

[I’ve been thinking about what I would do if I saw you.]

[I would want to hug you.]

[Because every time I was about to hug you in my dreams, I would wake up.]

[What a pity. It makes me so sad.]

[So, may I hug you?]

[If you don’t agree, I won’t move.]

[But I’ll be very sad.]

[I want to see you.]

[I really want to see you.]

[I want to see you so badly I’m going crazy.]

[Oh, I forgot. It seems I already went crazy once before.]

[But please don’t worry. I’ve been taking my medicine and receiving treatment.]

[Can I come see you?]

[I’ve come to see you.]

[I hate this wall.]

[It’s clearly less than twenty centimeters thick, yet it keeps me from seeing you and smelling your scent.]

[I want to smash it, but I can’t. Because Dr. He said I have to be a good citizen.]

[I’m a good citizen now. Will you see me?]

The more I read, the deeper my frown became.

He really had gone insane.

At that moment, the neighborhood residents’ group chat exploded.

[Someone is frantically offering absurdly high prices to buy apartments here!!!]
