"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 Ji Feifei arrived, she gulped when she took a look at Li Lanni. The girl was incredibly beautiful. Even though she was only wearing a simple black dress, it accentuated her skin tone perfectly and brought out her beauty in ways Ji Feifei had never imagined possible. She would obviously captivate everyone who saw her tonight. Somewhere deep in Ji Feifei's eyes, there was an immense amount of jealousy.
Li Lanni did not miss that either. However, she didn't make a huge deal out of it. She already knew that Ji Feifei was fake anyway.
...
Not long after, the two girls arrived at The Emerald Grand Hotel.
They both had sweet smiles on their faces, only that one of them came right from the heart while the other was forced.
"Is that Lanni?" someone saw the two girls and exclaimed.
"It's really her! Is it just me or has she gotten prettier?" Another classmate said with awe written all over her face.
"She is really pretty. That black dress suits her perfectly." A young man said.
A very handsome young man with brown hair walked towards the two girls with drinks in each hand. "Lanni, Long time no see. I'm Yu Guang. Do you remember me?"
Another young man pushed him aside. "Scram to the side. Don't insult my goddess' ears. Why would Lanni remember a jerk like you? If she had to remember anyone, it would have to be innocent angels like me- I'm totally her type." The man had a proud expression on his handsome face.
"Get lost! Don't tarnish my reputation in front of my queen. Lanni, don't listen to him. He just wants to shove me aside so he can get close to you."
Li Lanni cowered a little, only curtly replying to their chatter with a modest "hello."
Eer... was this a crazies' party? It was not every day that unfamiliar people started arguing before her -- and over her -- and she didn't know what to do.
Ji Feifei on the hand was burning in anger. Couldn't anyone see her? Why was it that everyone, including the most handsome guys in the school, was fawning over this useless girl?
Neither of them had even spared her a greeting. What was worse, the two of them were not even from their class. They were seniors. Yet because of Li Lanni, they had crashed the party...
Ji Feifei became even more venomous when she looked around and saw tha everyone else wanted to strike a conversation with Li Lanni too. They were just scared of Yu Guang.
She pulled Li Lanni's hand away from Yu Guang who was about to drag her away. "I still have something to say to Lanni." She gave a fake smile.
Yu Guang was unwilling to let go. "I have something to say to her too. Lanni, I'm sorry for what happened to…"
"Please excuse us." Ji Feifei forcefully dragged her into the women's restroom.
"What happened?" Li Lanni asked as soon as they were alone. Why would she pull her in such a sense of alarm?
Ji Feifei was about to blurt something out but she held herself back. Never mind. So she smiled sweetly as though she was at a loss. "I'm going to meet someone but I don't know how long it will take. Wait for me so we can go back home together, okay?"
Li Lanni had a feeling there was something that was being left unsaid. However, she nodded.
