"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) ...

That weekend.
The party was held in Xiehan's mansion. It was a simple party with only nine people. Ji Huifen had gone on a vacation with his wife so Xiehan did not invite them. In the end, it was just The Jiangs, Li Yuming and her daughters, and Lin Jian.
"Who is the ninth person?" Lanni asked Xiehan as they cooked together in his kitchen. She had done her math and there should be eight people.
"I don't know. That punk will obviously bring a girl along." Xiehan guessed, and Lanni knew he was talking about Lin Jian.
"I wonder who the unlucky girl is. Poor thing…" Lanni mumbled under her breath as she chopped a radish on the chopping board. Xiehan had said that he would personally cook all the food so she had gone over to help him. Because Xiehan was much better than her at cooking, she did the small tasks like washing and choping vegetables and preparing ingredients for him while he cooked.
