"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) ...

Once the call was hung up, Li Lanni chuckled.
Did Ji Feifei think she was born last night? She had been beaten up because of a gambling debt and couldn't call the police, so she could only call her friend?
She didn't even bother to come up with a better excuse!
Was it because Ji Feifei was bad at acting, or could it be that she had so stupid in the past?
She rolled her eyes and called Ji Feifei again, sounding troubled. "Feifei, where did you say you were? I lost signal earlier."
Ji Feifei was irritated. She was not there yet? Even then, she gave the instructions anew.
"I see. Are your wounds very bad? If they are, I will call an ambulance while at it."
"No. Just come and help me." She almost shouted, then furiously hung up. Clumsy girl, hurry up already!
Li Lanni looked at her phone and stopped the voice call recording with a smile. Great.
When she was done, she saw a taxi and flagged it down. She would be an utter idiot if she went to such a location! Even though alcohol was getting the better of her, there was no way she was going to do such a stupid thing.
Just when she was about to enter the car, a hand suddenly grabbed hers and yanked her back.
Li Lanni yelped in surprise. She looked up at the stranger who had just appeared. He was looking down at her, so the first thing she saw was his blue eyes. She briefly scanned his face, his nose, mouth jawline then his tall and built frame. What a handsome man! Did they usually pop out of nowhere and grab people nowadays?
Seeing that he had captured her attention, the man let go of her hand. "I'm sorry for presumptuously stopping you."
Even his deep voice made her speechless. What was that? Did her heart just race?
Li Lanni took a deep breath to calm down. "Do I know you?"
"No, but I think I know you." Ji Xiehan responded.
Li Lanni looked disappointed. "That is an extremely worn out pick-up line. Can't you find a better one?"
Ji Xiehan chuckled. Indeed, that was the most worn out pickup line anyone could ever hear. However, he was not just trying to hit on her.
Although she was very beautiful and definitely the type of girl any man would want to hit on, he meant it when he said that she looked familiar.
Earlier, he was eating supper in the restaurant on the third floor of this hotel. Just as he looked out through the window, his gaze landed on a little beauty speaking on phone.
When he took a better look at her face, he was shocked!
Why did she look so much like someone he knew?
Without thinking, he rushed out and stopped her before she could enter the taxi she had flagged down.
And now he was being accused of hitting on her...
"Forgive me for asking, what's your name?"
"Lanni." She unconsciously said before her brain could stop her mouth. It must be because she was drunk and she almost slapped herself for it. "Look, Mister whatever your surname is, I do not know you."
Ji Xiehan frowned. Lanni? He didn't know that name. In that case, he had got the wrong person. But even then, he glanced at her briefly. What a gorgeous beauty!
Seeing that she was guarded against him, he shrugged with a smile. "Then I'm sorry for taking up your time. I'll be on my way then."
Li Lanni returned the smile. A handsome man with a nice temperament and he was a gentlemen too. What a perfect combination. Wait, perhaps he really found her familiar?
Li Lanni scolded herself for thinking that and entered the taxi. The driver was already irritated from waiting.
Ji Xiehan turned after a few steps and watched her leave. He couldn't help but notice the birthmark on her back when the wind fluttered her hair away from her back.
He wiggled his eyebrows in thought. He only snapped back when he saw the car drive off.
Shouldn't he have asked for her contact number?
