"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) ...

When Ruby left the study, she basically stumbled downstairs helplessly. She was sure that based on Xiehan's gaze earlier, he didn't truly believe her. However, it was still alright if he investigated since it would only prove that she was telling the truth.
Just as she took a turn to go to her room, a strong hand dragged her to the side.
"What do you want?" She asked sharply. Lin Jian had almost startled the life out of her.
The man gazed down at her flirtatiously. "Let's take a walk by the beach."
She pulled her wrist from his hand with a frown and leaned against the wall behind her. "Everyone is going together later."
Lin Jian knew this, but he insisted. "Don't you want to take a walk with me… Just the two of us? There is probably no one outside at this time so it will be cool."
Ruby nodded to his persuasion, she needed some time to cool off anyway. Hence, the two of them got changed and made their way out of the house.
