Perfect Secret Love: The Bad New Wife is a Little Sweet

Chapter 2239 Aun 

The past surfaced in Ye Wanwan’s mind following Nameless Nie’s words.

Back then, Nameless Nie left home when he was young and was sent to a distant relative, Second Grandma, for education purposes.

Second Grandma was a distant younger cousin of Clan Leader Ling. Although she held the same seniority as Clan Leader Ling, she was nearly 30 years younger than him.

However, Second Grandma was extraordinarily talented in martial arts, was extremely courageous, and was an outstanding teacher for the younger generation.

Hence, back then, Clan Leader Ling didn’t obtain Patriarch Nie and Madam Nie’s approval before sending Nameless Nie to Second Grandma.

Second Grandma was a very strict teacher. Nameless Nie underwent a lot of suffering but gained a plethora of skills.

Second Grandma had one daughter named Ling Miao. Ling Miao was a generation above Nameless Nie and was considered his aunt, but she was a similar age to Nameless Nie.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call those two childhood sweethearts, and they got along very well.

Soon, Nameless Nie returned to the Independent State but never broke contact with Ling Miao.

Ye Wanwan once heard Nameless Nie mention that he and Aunt Ling Miao fell in love…

The first time Ye Wanwan saw Ling Miao… was actually when Ling Miao was assailed by various factions of the Independent State. It was Grandpa’s plot that killed Ling Miao…

Grandpa used Nameless Nie’s life to threaten Ling Miao… and made her meet him on her own.

Ye Wanwan still vaguely remembered that Ling Miao had a very sweet and spirited appearance but her temperament was the complete opposite. She was exceptionally apathetic, akin to a ball of ice, and very hard to get along with if you were an outsider.

Before Ling Miao died, she personally handed the ring that represented the supreme power in the Rose of Death to Ye Wanwan and asked her whether Nameless Nie was safe or not…

To this day, Ye Wanwan still couldn’t forget Ling Miao’s content expression after learning Nameless Nie wasn’t in any danger.

That was where Ye Wanwan’s memory left off.

In the past, Nameless Nie was outstanding and his intelligence wasn’t inferior to Ji Xiuran’s.

However, after her memory was replaced and she saw Nameless Nie again, he had changed. It was as if he had turned into a different person.

When she returned to the Independent State and restored her identity as Nameless Nie, her parents told her Nameless Nie was traumatized in the past…

Now though, connecting this to the letter Ji Xiuran left behind for her…

The letter read: “I don’t have some grand dream. I just want a plot of a good field and have a simple life, do some small business and live ordinarily.”

Thinking about it now, Ji Xiuran used this very obscure sentence to indicate the truth.

He was referring to Nameless Nie!

That was why Ji Xiuran reminded her in his letter to stop investigating the matter…

Additionally, on Ji Xiuran’s shredded pieces of paper, he actually wrote down the truth and the process.

Nameless Nie’s personality didn’t change because of a previous trauma. The truth was that he was hypnotized by Ji Xiuran…

It was very possible it was Ji Xiuran who made Nameless Nie forget about this memory segment.

But the paper also said that the hypnotism failed and he was back…

What that probably meant was that Nameless Nie’s willpower was too strong, so he recalled his past again…

“It was Ji Xiuran who hypnotized you, right?” Ye Wanwan asked Nameless Nie.

Nameless Nie smiled faintly. “I have to say that Xiuran’s talents in hypnotism are unparalleled. I told him I’d bring destruction on every faction in the Independent State that participated in Ling Miao’s massacre, but he disapproved and even hypnotized me… After the hypnotism, I forgot about her and only thought about earning money and becoming rich, as though I was possessed.”

Nameless Nie continued, “This ring is very similar to Ling Miao’s ring. It’s a lovers’ ring that I made myself and has nothing to do with the Rose of Death. However, after I was hypnotized, I forgot about this ring too, so I took it off and tossed it somewhere in the Nie residence. Otherwise, how could you have stolen it?”
