"Have we met?"

Lin Rouxue was sure she had seen this incredibly handsome man somewhere before but she couldn't remember so she just brushed it off. Meanwhile, Gao Yi refused to answer her by pretending that he didn't hear what she said.

"You still haven't replied to me... who are you and why are you helping me?"

The man finally got thwarted, he slammed the brakes, his face turned towards the woman who was seated in the passenger seat, he gritted his teeth and replied in a chilling voice

"Does it matter?...stop your query"

The woman felt guilty and decided that it was time she got down from his car

"Stop the car"

No response

"I said, stop the car... now!"

Screech!!

Opening the door, the woman got down from the car

"Thank you, Mister..you saved me from the biggest mistake I had ever tried in my life

I hope there's a way to repay your kindness...Also, I'm sorry " After saying that, she bowed.

As the woman left in the opposite direction, the man watched her reflecting through the side reflector on the car. His heart clenched in pain as he watched how lonely her back looked, The more he looked, the more he couldn't bear to see her leave his life for the second time.

Suddenly, Lu Bingwen's words resounded in his ears

"Xiao Yi maybe fate has given you both another

chance to be together and the gods have given you a second chance at love..."

'yes, that was right, I was granted a second chance at love...I shouldn't waste it on a stupid argument' Saying all these things to boost his morale, he got out of his jeep and sauntered towards the woman who had already walked a far distance without turning back, still, the man didn't relent in his pursuit

When he eventually got to where she was, he grabbed her delicate white elbow

"Hold on"

the woman frowned upon feeling someone touch her, Turning around she saw who it was and her cautious look dissipated

"Let go "

The man immediately let go of her elbow

"I'll answer your queries; I won't tell you who I am, and yes we have met before, and why I am helping you ... I'll answer that question in the future"

The woman looked dumbfounded at his answer

"what... what future are you talking about"

"Never mind that" the man replied

" I'm not minding "

the woman scoffed and spoke sarcastically

"Let me drop you off "

" Never mind, I don't want to trouble you further"

"No that won't do, it's too late for a woman to be walking around this late in the night"

Lin Rouxue stopped walking, She laughed and looked at the man standing before her

"Hehe, I don't need your concern or care when you don't mean it, "

She sniffled and continued

" Everyone just likes to fake their concern, love, and care. Once they get tired of showing that fake concern and love, you just become their substitute"

Hearing her words, Gao Yi felt his heart twitch in pain from the words she said.it seems he had to teach Han Ping a lesson for hurting and breaking her.

Gao Yi didn't know where he got the courage from but he just walked up to her petite figure that looked like it would be blown away any second and Drew her into his embrace

"Everyone's not the same...people are different "

Lin Rouxue was shocked at the way he hugged her from behind

"M...Mis.Mister what are you doing...let go of me now..."

"Gao Yi...Call me Gao Yi"

He released her once he saw she was struggling to get out of his grip

"Let me drop you off"

The woman finally relented

"Okay"

When the man brought the car closer he saw the woman rubbing her arms, attempting to ease off the cold, that was when it occurred to him that she was still wearing that same off-shoulder wedding dress

He beckoned for her to get in, Once she did, he turned on the car heater to warm her up

" Address?"

" sunbei complex "

As the Jeep wrangler drove along the streets of Shanghai, the Car was as quiet as a graveyard,

while the man was thinking of ways to pursue her, the woman was also thinking of where she had met the man sitting close to her when she eventually slept off out of tiredness.

Gao Yi heaved a sigh as he rubbed his forehead.

*************

Meanwhile,

At the Lin family household,

the sound of ceramics and glass breaking could be heard

' Crashhhh!!!!!! Clang! Bang!! Crash!!!'

The maids in the mansion all broke out in cold sweat, some went to their rooms in the Servent's quarters to hide...

"That bitch dared to trick us"

Lin Donghai was fuming in rage as his perfectly crafted plan was ruined so easily,

he grounded his teeth in anger to the extent that his wife standing close to him could hear the clashing sound of his teeth...

His phone rang

"you had better say something useful"

"Sir we haven't found her yet, but we found the car"

" Who is that man"

"Sir the car seems to belong to someone in the army...it has a military plate number "

"What do you mean military plate number"

"Si...sir"

"Find her no matter what it takes and bring her to me "

After giving out some instructions he finally hung up.

Veering around, he directed his menacing look towards Shen Nuwa, see the look in his eye, she swallowed as her back broke out in cold sweat

"Dongha_"

Paaa!;

Before she could complete her words, Lin Donghai raised his hands and struck her face,

"Bitch!! you dared to negotiate to give her a 15%shares of the Lin company"

After that episode, he stumped towards his room leaving Shen Nuwa in the sitting room alone

"Lin Rouxue just you wait and see how I'll bring down your ego and make you listen and bow to me "

she swore out loud

__________________________

When Gao Yi finally got to the address given to him, He saw the woman was asleep on the chair, she looked so peaceful and beautiful when she was asleep. He decided not to disrupt her sleep so he came down from the car and carried the woman.

Because he had sent Xu Bohai to do a Background check on Lin Rouxue and to find out every detail of how she lived her life in the past seven years he was away, he was able to know her address so he just followed the address he saw in the file a while back.

Once he got to her Condo door, he rang the bell

'Ding dong ding dong'

No answer

he rang it again for the second, third time before the door swung open to show Ma Xuiying in a groggy state

"yes who are you looking for_" She stopped midway when she saw Lin Rouxue in his arms

"Xuexue...What happened to her!!"

the man frowned at how loud her voice was when he saw the woman stir in her sleep

"Don't ask questions and just open the door "

" Yes yes"

once the man got into the room, he gave Ma Xuiying a knowing look as if saying

'come change her clothes,'

"You can leave us...let me help her change "the man walked out

20 minutes later, Ma Xuiying walked out of the room and saw that the man was still there, standing and looking at the pictures hanging on the walls

" Ahem "She cleared her throat to get his attention

" She's asleep, thank you for what you did for my Rouxue....sit down let me get you something to drink"

the man looked at the time on his watch and decided it was time for him to leave

"Am okay, I'll be taking my leave "

" Hold on.... who are you to Rouxue "

the man clenched his fist in

" Presently, I am still a stranger....in the future, it'll be more than that "

"Huh"

After saying that, Gao Yi left the apartment, leaving only his back view of The dumbfounded woman.

Ma Xuiying,

walked into the room again, her heart hurt when she saw the lonely silhouette of the woman on the bed.

She walked to the side and sat down as she tried to rearrange the stray hairs on Lin Rouxue's forehead, she sighed

" Xuexue what do I do with you..."
