"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) ...

"I have to go." He cupped her face. "Stay here." He ordered before she could suggest tagging along.
"But…"
"Not now, Lanni."
Realizing immediately that he sounded harsh, he kissed her lips briefly. "It's late. Go to bed first, okay? I'll brief you on the situation and you can come tomorrow."
She rose onto her knees as he grabbed a coat in a rush. "Be careful, okay? Don't drive on your own. Let the chauffeur drive you there." She insisted on the last part. Heaven knew he might just floor the accelerator and arrive in twenty minutes if he could. That would be dangerous.
He nodded and left the room. She pressed a hand on her chest as she stared at the door. She could only hope that Ji Huifen would be alright, for the sake of Xiehan and Ruby.
