Li Caiyi subconsciously tried to cover her neck by shifting her body. They were just talking about this previously, and honestly, she also wanted to keep the necklace.

She was so happy when Dai Zhiqiang gave it to her. If only she could ask him to remove the tracking device from it, everything would be alright. But she didn't know what to say when he asked her to keep it, along with the tracking device in it directly.

Dai Zhiqiang could tell what she was thinking by her silence. If their position was reversed, he probably would feel complicated, too, so he couldn't blame her.

"Senior Meng assigned people to guard you, right? I can feel them around us."

"Oh, yes." Li Caiyi didn't expect him to figure it out. "Brother Renshu was worried about me, so he sent some people to guard my family and me."

"Then it shouldn't be a problem if you keep wearing that necklace, right?"

He felt extremely uncomfortable that Li Caiyi found Meng Renshu's action acceptable while his action wasn't.

The inferiority inside him rebelled against his will, threatening to spill out. If Meng Renshu was allowed, then there was no reason for her to reject his concern.

"You are right, but Brother Renshu had promised he would never try to spy on my private life. The bodyguards are professionals and would only be there to keep me safe. They wouldn't report anything except my safety to him."

'Unlike a certain someone', were some words left unsaid but visibly hung in the air. Dai Zhiqiang felt even worse hearing her remarks.

"Besides, weren't you the one who told me to throw away the necklace? Now you are contradicting yourself."

There was an oppressive silence after she said that. Dai Zhiqiang wanted to explain that he said that in the moment of weakness, but lost the timing when she suddenly stood up.

"Anyway. You don't have to worry about that. Let's return now. We have been out for a long, and Uncle is probably bored staying in the room alone."

From her tone, she was clearly trying to draw the line between them. It meant she didn't want to talk further about the necklace, and that was final. Dai Zhiqiang was saddened, knowing he had made a mistake again.

"Yi Yi, but we haven't finished talking yet."

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"Will you meet with that guy again from now on?"

By that guy, it was obvious he was referring to Meng Renshu.

"Yes," Li Caiyi answered immediately without blinking. She had no intention of hiding it from him. "As I said before, there is something we need to do together."

"Don't you think it's about time you tell me about that too?"

"If it's something I can tell you, I would have done so from the beginning. Don't you know having to explain myself every time is tiring?"

That question felt like a punch in his gut.

Dai Zhiqiang hung his head in shame. But Li Caiyi was too tired to console him.

After knowing that Dai Zhiqiag also slowly remembered the events from their past life, she had a faint hope that something would change somehow. But his behavior indicated that he had no clear recollection of what happened.

It was the same as what happened to Meng Renshu. Both of them couldn't remember what exactly happened in their dreams.

If Dai Zhiqiang's experience was indeed the same as Meng Renshu, she thought he would have a clearer idea after they slept together. However, when she asked him whether he dreamed about something the last time they slept, it didn't seem he had recalled something new.

It made her wonder if these two had different requirements for their memories returning?

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."

Li Caiyi stared at the boy in front of her straightly. Even though he was the same person, he was still a teenager. He might seem more mature than kids his age, but at times like this, she felt the disparity in their age.

What did she expect from him? She thought she had decided to see Dai Zhiqiang as himself and not overlap him with Shen Qiang again.

Even she was confused by her own actions.

"Zhi, do you want me to not have any contact with any men besides you? You know it's impossible, right?"

No, that wasn't it. Dai Zhiqiang never felt threatened by Shao Jingfei's presence, although their closeness sometimes annoyed him.

However, Meng Renshu was different.

Dai Zhiqiang couldn't calm down as long as that person was still hovering around her. He felt like she could be snatched away from him instantly. Just imagining it made him feel insecure.

Every time he saw them together, something in him screamed to keep her away in a hidden place and lock her up for good. If not, she would leave, and he could only stay while watching her smile lovingly for someone else.

Dai Zhiqiang clenched his hand into a fist before raising his head. "Yi Yi, can you give me a full charge? I'm not feeling well these days."

"Why? Are you sick?"

"No, but I feel sluggish." He opened his arms, waiting for her to snuggle closer to him, just like she always happily did.

However, Li Caiyi wasn't smiling this time. She looked reluctant before looking away. "I don't think this is the right time for that. Let's just return to Uncle's room."

Why? Why did she reject him? Was she so fed up with him she didn't even want to touch him?

Dai Zhiqiang's arms fell limply beside his body. A dark and turbulent emotion raged inside him, concealed behind the veil of his misty eyes.

Oblivious to the shift in his expression, Li Caiyi spoke again. "You can stay here if you want. I will return first."

Truthfully, she wanted to escape because she didn't know if she could resist the temptation of burying her face in his chest. She missed him so much and wanted to cuddle with him. But if she gave in now, she felt like he would casually brush the tension between them.

Li Caiyi wanted him to understand that she wasn't his possession that needed to be monitored every time. She used to expect him to naturally understand this, but his recent behavior clearly showed otherwise. As an adult, she had to teach him this early.

It wouldn't be funny if she suddenly changed her mind after he asked her for a hug.

"Wait."

Dai Zhiqiang grabbed her arm from behind, preventing her from taking further steps. Li Caiyi turned her head simultaneously when someone shouted at them from afar.

"Big Brother! Caiyi!"

Both looked at the voice source simultaneously to find Dai Shenqiang running their way. His face was red, and he breathed hard once he finally stopped in front of them.

"There you are. I have been looking for you everywhere."

"What happened, Shenqiang? Why are you in so much of a hurry?" Li Caiyi asked him first.

Instead of answering her, he looked around like he was searching for something. Then, his face went pale. "Where is Father? Isn't he with you guys?"

They were startled by his question. A cold chill ran down her spine as she asked nervously. "W-What are you talking about? If it's Uncle, then shouldn't he be in his room right now?"

"I just came from his room, but it's empty. When I asked the nurse, they said my brother brought him somewhere to get some fresh air." Dai Shenqiang explained quickly. "I searched high and low, but there is no sign of Father anywhere in the hospital!"

[Huang Zhen is very skillful in disguising and impersonating others].

For some reason, Dai Zhiqiang's words suddenly echoed in her mind as she began to think of the worst possible scenario.

'No, that can't be. But Uncle is already very weak. If something dangerous happened to him, then he might be...'

She didn't even want to continue that train of thought. It was too scary.

If even Li Caiyi could guess what happened, then there was no way such thoughts would escape Dai Zhiqiang. She couldn't imagine what he felt right now.

Wasting no moments of delay, Dai Zhiqiang dashed into the building, leaving the confused Dai Shenqiang and Li Caiyi, who frantically called his name behind him.
