Unnamed.

After school, it was not easy for Li Lanni to go anywhere on her own. Her mother had hired new bodyguards to make sure she didn't manage to secretly run around on her own.

Besides, it was not like she would sneak away on her own after what happened the last time. This time, she needed someone to accompany her.

She walked towards her car calmly.

"Lanni?"

Li Lanni turned when she heard the familiar voice.

As expected, she was annoyed. "White haired pervert, why are you here?"

Ji Xiehan was speechless. What kind of nickname was this? Girl, I'm your future husband, okay? What kind of woman called her husband a pervert?

"If you have nothing to say to me, I'll make my move."

"Wait." Ji Xiehan grabbed her arm before she took the second step.

Li Lanni freed herself from his grip and crossed her arms. "What do you want?"

"I came to give you this." He handed over a box.

This present had been recommended to him by Qiao Luna. It was the latest diamond necklace from a famous jewelry brand. There were only three of them in the entire nation. One didn't just need money to buy them.

He watched anxiously as Li Lanni opened the box.

In the next moment, she gave a sly smile. "Thank you, but I already have this. I don't need two of them."

She took a necklace from her own bag. It was identical to the one in the box.

"What..." Ji Xiehan had forgotten something important. Li Lanni could afford to buy anything she wanted.

If this brand was popular among girls and their latest necklace was even more sought out, he should have guessed that she would try to get one.

"Does that mean... you don't want it?"

Li Lanni didn't answer him. She simply glared at him. "Master Ji, I don't know what you hold against me from our previous lifetimes but can you let me off? I really don't like being stalked like this."

Ji Xiehan's heart fell. His presence bothered her that much? It was already humiliating enough that she rejected his present because she owned an identical one. Did she also have to shatter his heart into pieces?

"Master Ji, please don't look for me anymore." She sauntered away.

Ji Xiehan gripped the diamond necklace tightly as he watched her back. What exactly did this girl have against him? Had he wronged her before? Logically, she shouldn't be this angry with him because of what his former assistant had done before. Why was she holding it against him?

...

As soon as he stumbled back to the passenger seat of his car, Qiao Luna was scared she would be killed.

She had been the one to suggest this gift because she knew how much every young woman wanted to have it. She had expected that the girl would be happy and so would Master Ji. Could it be that the girl had still rejected him and now he was too upset?

"Drive."

"Y-yes." Qiao Luna trembled as she started the car.

___

Li Lanni entered her car with a sigh. Although that man's assistant had kidnapped her, she could tell that the man didn't harbor ill intentions towards her. After all, he had rescued her recently and he didn't try to take advantage of her because of it.

However, that man's surname was Ji. He was Ji Feifei's brother. How could she have anything to do with him? She was not a naïve girl so she knew what it meant for a man to keep stalking a girl and trying to curry favor with her.

But, how could she be so sure that he was not doing this for Ji Feifei? Perhaps they were working together to trap her? Most importantly, she had forgotten her past. She didn't want to end up in a sudden twist about her being entangled with two men because she had temporarily forgotten her love.

She didn't mean to be rude to him just now, but that was the only way to keep him off her skin.

That wasn't important anymore. She had to deal with the news about her and Professor Marcus today. Her reputation might be soiled forever if she waited until she got expelled from school.

She took her phone and gave Ji Feifei a call, sounding helpless and pitiful. "I can't get Professor Marcus' private adress no matter how hard I search for it. What do I do, I really want to get him to clarify this matter."

Ji Feifei was busy flirting with her new flame when Li Lanni called so she was a little pissed. But thinking about how terrible that girl's reputation would be the next day, she didn't mind it too much. "I'll send you his adress right away."

"Thank you Feifei, you are a life saver. Do you have his contact number as well?"

"I do. Be careful, okay?"

"Mmh."

Li Lanni hung up with an evil smile. You keep calling me a fool. Just who is the fool between us?

___

One hour later, in a seafood restaurant.

"Honey, is the food delicious? You should eat more. Only then can you grow taller."

"Sister, the food is very tasty. Eat some too."

Li Lanni was having a meal with a little boy and his mother. The boy was so cute that Li Lanni couldn't stop herself from feeding him.

"Mrs. Marcus, please excuse me." Li Lanni took out her phone.

"Go ahead." The woman had quite a good impression of this girl. They had met at the mall a few minutes ago. The girl accidentally knocked into them and broke the little boy's new toy.

Not only did she buy a similar toy to replace the one that she had broken, she also invited them for a meal to make up for it.

She couldn't bring herself to reject such a kind and obedient child. Not to mention, she was wearing the uniform of B City university. That was where her husband worked so there shouldn't be a problem.

Li Lanni felt a little guilty for having to use such an innocent boy and his mother to achieve her goal.

However, she didn't blame herself too much about it. That man had shamelessly admitted to being in a relationship with her this morning. How was her life supposed to continue?

She went outside and made a phone call. "Hello Professor Marcus."

The man was eagerly waiting for the present from Ji Feifei. As soon as he heard a sweet voice, he knew that she must be the present. Even so, he acted hard to please. "What do you want?"

"It's about the rumors circulating the school, about me being in a relationship with you. You know that this would do good to neither of us."

"Tch. Are you recording this conversation and expecting me to spill something? You are too naïve. We are in a relationship.

We have been together for a long time but you might have forgotten about it. However, don't you try to deny it. "

Li Lanni's mouth twitched. "That's it? What should happen to my reputation, then?"

"Little beauty, you don't have to worry about that. Why don't I just make sure you have good grades as a reward? If you are obedient, you will be rewarded even more."

Li Lanni was terribly pissed off. How could a man be so shameless? "I didn't call because of this. I only called to inform you that... your wife and youngest son are having a meal with me. Can you imagine, the mistress and the legal wife eating together happily. Quite harmonious, don't you think?"

The man's heart trembled. This little girl was too audacious. "Don't you dare do anything to my wife and son!"

Li Lanni chuckled. "Please. Why would I hurt them? Your son is too cute.

However, I cannot guarantee how tightly I can shut my mouth. I'm quite loose-lipped you know.

Besides, I'm indeed naïve enough to record this conversation. What should I do?"

Professor Marcus was furious. What happened to the push over Ji Feifei talked about? Where was his present?

He was not afraid of being involved with a young girl. After all, this Li Lanni was too beautiful. He had had his eyes set on her a long time ago but had no courage to approach her. Now that she had been delivered to him on a silver platter, why was she still being this way?

If his wife knew about this... "Little girl, don't go too far!" He spat out.

Of course, Li Lanni knew why he was afraid of his wife finding out about his past deeds. To be exact, he was more afraid of his father-in-law than a mouse was scared of a cat. He would lose his life if that old man found out!

She glanced at the little boy eating heartily. "I will tell her. I'll give you five minutes to convince me otherwise." Li Lanni hung up the call after stalling him.
