Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Revival of Memories in Dream_1
Amid the surging flames, I saw the silhouette of Gu Yuanzhou.

As I came out of my bedroom, he was standing in the bathroom with his back to me, on the phone,

“Mengyan? Sure, I’ll be right down!”

As I watched Gu Yuanzhou leave, I stood up to follow him.

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, the flames reached me, inflicting unbearable pain.

“Ayun, Ayun!”

In a daze, someone was shaking me.

I opened my eyes, and the sea of fire was gone…

The feeling of being engulfed in flames had also disappeared.

I was lying in my bedroom.

By then, daylight was already breaking through the windows, casting a glow on the handsome face in front of me.

Those clear eyes were filled with concern.

Ding Yinuo was kneeling by my bed with one leg, the other hand rubbing my forehead, still wearing his robe from last night.

Apparently, he was awakened by my cry.

“Ayun, did you have a nightmare?”

He brought a dry towel to wipe my sweat and poured me a cup of warm water.

“Yes!”

After I finished the water, I felt much more awake.

“What did you dream about?”

“Nothing!”

“Ayun, you’re hiding from me again! Don’t you know, the more you refuse to tell me, the more worried I get!”

Looking at his anxious eyes, I could only tell him the truth.

After listening, he fell into deep thought, reaching out to touch my face,

“It seems you lack a sense of security! But that’s understandable. Who could easily get over such a terrifying experience?”

“But, even though it was a dream, it felt so real. The… The feeling of being burnt, the pain…it was so real. It’s strange, usually when I dream of getting hurt, I feel no pain. Why did this one feel so real?”

I’m not a doctor, I don’t know much about medicine, all I could do was seek help from Ding Yinuo.

Ding Yinuo is a very patient man.

He’s also very eager to listen to me.

After hearing me out, he analyzed,

“It was probably not just a dream. In other words, you might have actually ignited a recollection from the past in your dream. Because you’ve experienced a fire, your brain remembers the pain you felt. So it’s more like you were reliving a memory rather than it being a dream.”

“Oh, I see now!”

“Get up, it’s time for breakfast!”

He tousled my hair and then left the room.

After brushing my teeth, I peeked outside and saw Ding Yinuo busily working in the kitchen.

In his dark robe, his slender back was actually quite easy on the eyes.

But his waist was tied with an apron, revealing his domesticated side.

Wenya sent me a video…

“Did Yinuo come back?”

“Yeah, he returned in the middle of last night.”

“Ha, Su Peisheng really has a knack for prediction!”

“What did he predict?”

“He said! Manager Ding has changed a lot because of you! Usually, whenever he’s out socializing, he’s the wildest and most reckless. He’d often party all night! But since you entered his life, no matter how late he is, he always comes home! Because now, his heart is with you! Ayun, you must cherish Manager Ding, you must love him well!”

“Got it, you’re such a gossip!”

“I need to stop talking now, I need to get up, or I’ll miss my class.”

Wenya hung up, and I finished washing up. After tying up my hair, I walked into the living room.

By then, Ding Yinuo already had breakfast ready. He looked at me after taking off his apron.

“Breakfast time!”

The breakfast was actually quite simple: two fried eggs, a few slices of ham, a pot of yellow rice porridge, and milk.

But I loved it.

With breakfast ready, the place started to feel like home.

The eggs were fried into the shape of hearts, albeit crudely done. Like a defective product, they were all twisted and turned.

“Uhm, Ding Yinuo, your fried egg… it looks a bit underwhelming?”

Ding Yinuo coughed lightly, “There are uglier ones!”

He brought a plate from the kitchen which had over a dozen overcooked, blackened eggs.

It seemed the egg in my bowl was the best-looking one he had made all morning.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t laugh at me!”

“I’m not laughing at you, really, you’ve made lots of effort! But, don’t you think frying eggs is a bit of a waste of your surgical hands? If you use them in surgery, you can save many lives.”

“Hmm, I don’t have that much energy anymore! All I want to do now is save one person! That’s you!”

Such words from Ding Yinuo left me quite astonished.

“I’m not a patient, I don’t need saving!”

He touched my forehead, “Finish your food, then we’ll go to the company!”

“Alright, sure!”

While eating, I was also thinking about what was happening at the company.

Recently, everything was going well.

Although Gu Yuanzhou occasionally created some troubles, overall, Tianjiao Company was heading in a good direction.

After breakfast, Ding Yinuo brought my medicine and watched me take it.

The two of us left together for the company.

However, Ding Yinuo only dropped me off at the company’s entrance. He didn’t get out of the car,

“My brother called me, saying our mother is in the hospital. I have to go there. Meanwhile, you will be in charge of things at the office. Remember, you can always contact me if you need. If anybody at the company opposes you or gives you a tough time, just give me their names, and I’ll make sure they’re out of here.”

I gave him a thumbs-up,

“Manager Ding, you’re so manly!”

He made an OK sign at me.

“Remember, I am your trump card!”

“Yes! Got it!”

Indeed, Ding Yinuo was my trump card.

Without him, I wouldn’t dare to imagine how I could defeat Gu Yuanzhou on my own!

Back at the company.

An assistant approached me, “Sister Song, trouble!”

“What happened?”

“Zhenyi Company delivered a lawyer’s letter to us, have a look!”

The assistant handed me a stack of legal notices, all sent by Zhenyi Company. They were suing us.

The reason being that our recent new products infringed on their rights and…

I recently designed a few children’s wear on a whim, and to my surprise, they were extremely successful after their release.

Deeply favored by the mothers, it turned out to be a very successful product line.

As I designed them myself, there’s no way I infringed their copyright.

After finishing reading the lawyer’s letters, I tossed them into the trash can,

“Ignore them!”

“But, Sister Song, we are now facing a credibility crisis!”

“How are we in a crisis? I designed the products, so there is no way they infringed on Zhenyi company’s copyrights. They are, at best, stirring things up at our expense.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s scheming plan was quite obvious, I could see it clearly.

He thought I would compromise.

But I was determined to show him he couldn’t take advantage of me.

However, what I didn’t expect was that this issue was escalating on the internet.

I didn’t know who was pulling the strings behind the scenes, but they started to smear Tianjiao Company, and the situation got bigger and bigger, to the point where it was no longer controllable.
