Chunlan walked out of the library after finishing her morning classes when she heard a familiar voice.
"Tang Chunlan!" Su Menxiang ran towards her and grabbed her arm, interlocking their arms together.
"Menxiang!" Chunlan gasped.
"Chunlan, I missed you. Where have you been? I haven't seen you for two months! We have never been apart for so long." Menxiang whined.
Chunlan fell quiet trying to think of how to deal with this situation. To be honest, she wanted nothing to deal with Menxiang anymore after what happened in their previous life but she couldn't forget all she had done for her back then.
".....I have asked my dad if there is any internship in the company. After my persuasion, he finally spoke up! If you want, you can give it to Jihai. I know he needs it." Menxiang poked her playfully.
She sighed. Even though she was betrayed, she knew she was the one at fault. She should have never given Qishen that satchel or allowed her friend to marry that brute! She have known the misery her friend was living in.
"Thank you, Menxiang." She said quietly.
"There's no need to be this formal among sisters." Menxiang waved her off but observed her closer. "Hey, why are you sad? Don't worry, everything will be okay. Wait, isn't that Jihai?"
Chunlan followed her gaze and was entranced by what she saw. Jihai was sitting in class, wearing a light blue shirt blending with his alabaster skin. He gave out a cold piercing aura, making him unapproachable, but a delight to look at with his red rosy lips and strikingly sharp nose. Most of the girls in the room were looking at him but all he concentrated on was the book in front of him, ignoring his friend who was trying to disturb him.
"Jihai!" She frowned and walked over.
He turned his head at the sound, his face brightened as he saw her approaching and taking a seat beside him. Luckily, there was no teacher yet. "Are you through with your classes today?"
"Not yet. Hi, Longwei." Seeing his friend frozen with shock, she decided she wasn't going to get an answer so she turned to Jihai.
Opening her bag, she took out a jacket and scarf and placed it on the table. She wrapped the scarf around his slender neck and whispered " Jihai, what is wrong with you? Don't you see it is winter? Why aren't you dressing warm? Jihai, you need to learn to take care of yourself."
When she leaned back, she heard a pen drop on the floor. Cai Longwei was staring at her with his mouth open. Flustered, she felt multiple eyes on her as she looked at Jihai. He was looking at her with adoration in his cold black eyes.
She felt herself shrink with all the attention. When she replayed all she said in her head, she noticed she sounded like a doting wife.
Shit.
Jihai stared at the girl in front of him, his heart swelling with different emotions. She was very beautiful, her fair skin was delicate and smooth and her brown eyes were clear and bright, giving people a sense of comfort and tranquility."I forgot my jacket back in the dormitory, because I was late." He smiled, as he observed how uncomfortable she was."Oh, I should get going now. Your class is about to start now."He caught her hand and skimmed through her fingers. "Wait for me."Longwei coughed lightly and tilted his head towards the direction of the teacher looking at them with a grim face."Bye, Jihai." Chunlan rushed out of the class room."Bye." He whispered.After classes, he went around looking for Chunlan with his friend, Longwei. Did she forget about him again? Where did she go this time? He felt a little worried after the stunt she pulled yesterda
Chunlan sat down beside Jihai after catching her breath. She had waited for Jihai but thought he might be hungry and went to buy some food for him before his part time job started."How dare you enter this office without being summoned?" Liu Wenyi's voice was scathing.Chunlan said innocently "I wanted to talk to you about something and the secretary said I could go in. Who knew I would meet my boyfriend here?"Wenyi struggled to contain her anger. How could she be looking for her when the first thing she said was Jihai's name? She was obviously her for Jihai! Meanwhile, Chunlan was watching Jihai whose cold eyes betrayed panic and guilt. In their previous life, Jihai had come to this office alone when Wenyi threatened to cease his final result he needed to submit to Colossus in exchange for sex. In order to give her a better life, her Jihai lost his virginity to this scheming woman. In this life, no wa
Jihai froze. "Chunlan, what did you say?"Chunlan felt her palms sweat as she stared at him. Did she say it out loud? What should she do? She had no plans of denying it but she was just too embarrassed to repeat it.Mustering her courage, she exhaled and said softly." Jihai, I.....love you." Her eyes darted around her surroundings as her cheeks turned into a beautiful shade of pink.She clasped her hands as she noticed the place turn silent. Finally she couldn't take it anymore and turned to face him. "Jihai, I-""I have to go. I can't be late for my shift." He stood up abruptly, picking his bag from the floor beside him, his expression cold and stiff . "Thank you for the food, I'll see you later."Chunlan stood up, intending to pack the food for him to carry looked up to see him already boarding a cab. She sat down, blankly staring at the food. What just happened? Why didn't he respond? Could
"But how did you know about the satchel?" Menxiang turned, confused."I saw it in your purse." Chunlan lied flawlessly, schooling her facial features in place."Oh...okay. Well I will see you later. Bye." Menxiang grabbed her purse on the table and closed the door, quietly.Chunlan stood with determination. She was going to get an answer from him. In this life, she was his and he was hers. There was no room for escape!She finally arrived in front of a fast food restaurant. She got out of the cab, tipping the driver and stared at the entrance. Taking a deep breath, she walked inside, sitting at a corner of the booth.She spotted him, taking an order from a group of girls, his face a cold mask. She could see it in their eyes the love and admiration. She consciously checked herself. Why did she forget to make up?After taking their order, he moved to her table not looking
Chunlan woke up, her heart full and fluttery. She stretched lazily like a cat, rubbing her sleepy eyes in a circular motion her lips curling upward into a tender smile as she recalled last night events.After the tender confession, they strolled around laughing. She took out a pair of scissors, her heart beating loudly. "In ancient times, lovers cut their hair and tied it together as they made a promise of eternal love. Jihai, are you willing?"He stared at her, taking the scissors from her as he snipped a strand of his hair and gave it to her quietly. She cut a strand of her hair and tied it together into a bow. "Keep it, Jihai. No matter where you go."He collected the hair and tucked it in his breast pocket as he placed a kiss n her forehead. "Its time to take you back."Chunlan's memory came to a halt as she heard someone sobbing quietly. Jumping up from the bed, she opened the bathroom door."M
On the holidays, Chunlan decided to go back to the Tang mansion. As she entered the limo assigned to pick her up she made a mental list about what she had to do this time.1. Patch things up with her little sisters.2. Protect her family wealth.3. Kick Ke Mingze out of her house!All these three was very important to her. When she had first transmigrated to this world, she had identified her sisters as enemies fated in this world. They were ruthless, annoying and spoilt little brats dedicated to making her life a living hell. She rubbed her eyes as she sighed. What she had once again failed to notice was the fact that her father and her mother hadn't planned to have other children after her. The elite society loved having only one child in a lifetime and her mother saw the twins as nuisances, leaving them neglected. She forgot that th
After the awkward dinner with her family ended, Chunlan decided to take a nap in her room. Meanwhile, the sisters, Tang Chunhua and Tang Chunying sat in the patio gazing at the birds chirping on the trees next to the windows."Don't you think Jie Jie is acting strangely? She invited us to go shopping.." Chunying asked, a little confused.Chunhua scoffed. "She is surely up to something!"How could Chunlan, their ruthless and selfish sister suddenly turn into an angel? Chunlan had always looked down on them, just because their births were unexpected. She never wanted to have anything to do with them, and now she wants to spend time with them? Unbelievable!"We should make plans. We should not allow her to ruin our graduation." Chunying said exasperated. She had important guests coming!"Don't worry. We will attack before she does. I won't allow her to make us a laughingstock!"C
Chunlan hardly stepped into the mansion when Chunhua grabbed her hand, gripping it tightly."Chunlan, what exactly do you want? Say it clearly! If you think you can bully me and my sister, just because you are back, then you are mistaken!"Chunlan pulled her hand back, her muscles cramping. She sighed heavily, repeating her mantra: They are your sisters! Your baby sisters!"Hua'er, I will admit today that I, Tang Chunlan have wronged you! I have failed to treat you and Ying'er well and I have no excuses. But from now on, I promise I will do better. Can't we just let bygones be bygones?!"Chunhua laughs before her eyes comes alive with pain and rage. "18 years! I waited for you to say that for 18 years! You never wanted to have anything to do with us, and you selfishly took all the love that was meant for us! Listen, I and my sister want nothing to do with you. Leave us alone!" She walked away angrily.
