"Little troubleshooter, we meet again. If you are still thinking of trying to get away, you better give up that silly idea." Ji Xiehan said, pinning her against the wall. Li Lanni pushed her fists against his chest. "Is this how you say ‘Hi’ to all your interviewers, Mr. Ji?" "There is no interviewer and certainly no interviewee." The man grinned devilishly. "There is only a husband and a wife. My darling, how are you going to compensate for all the emotional damage you caused me by slipping away?" "What?" Heavens... just what had she gotten herself into? ….. Her life almost came to an end because of a tragic accident but instead, she lost her memory. Who would have thought that just when she was starting to get used to her new life, she would get trapped in a whirlwind engagement? Out of all kinds of injustice fate could do to her, why did her fiancé have to be that white-haired pervert?! "You better not fall in love with me!" she snarled at the man grinning before her. Ji Xiehan's smile deepened. "Are you... kidding me? Why would I fall in love with you?" Li Lanni: "You better mark your words." The man grinned and helplessly shook his head, how could he fall in love with the woman he was already in love with? Taking up the challenge to crawl into her heart, Ji Xiehan promised himself to always treat her well and love her. (Warning: This book features mature content) ...

The next evening.
In the end, Li Lanni had decided to attend the banquet.
It was majorly because her mother thought it was beneficial for her to socialize and make friends.
As the most famous artist, Li Yuming had been invited too, but she had an exhibition during the day and would be too tired to attend a banquet in the evening.
By the time Li Lanni finished dressing up, Li Yuming was yet to return from the exhibition. But she still made a phone call and nagged her endlessly about what to do and not to do.
Li Lanni laughed at the last 'don't'. "Don't get too drunk, and do not trust anyone. Not even if it's Ji Xiehan. I know he isn't immoral enough to take advantage of a woman but you're such a beautiful girl after all."
Turned out her mother did have some reservations towards Ji Xiehan after all.
