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.
"Menxiang, what's wrong?" She frowned slightly.
Menxiang curled herself and lifted up her face which was a mess with tears and mucus. "He rejected me, Lan'er."
Chunlan grabbed some tissues from the cupboard and passed it to her. She stroked her hair gently. "Then it is fate, do not cry anymore. If he doesn't like you, then Mingwen likes you. Just move on!"
Menxiang snorted angrily. "How can I forget him so easily when I have loved him since I was a child?"
"I don't care! Menxiang, life is short you mustn't make careless mistakes."
Sensing Menxiang's pondering, she continued. "After this semester, during the holidays give Mo Bingwen a chance. You have nothing to lose."
"Chunlan, I will do as you say."
Jihai closed his laptop, sighing. Finally he had sent an email to Colossus, accepting the internship. He was still reluctant to go but he knew it was necessary in giving Chunlan the life she deserved.
Dialing a number in his phone, he waited until he heard a voice. "Jihai."
"Chunlan." He closed his eyes, her voice floating peacefully into his ears.
"I was about to call you." A tinge of shyness colored her tone.
"What is it?"
"I heard from a classmate that the deadline of Colossus is today. I hope you have submitted your reply?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Our holiday begins tomorrow, will you miss me?"
Jihai fell quiet as his mind tried to process the question, trying to come up with the best answers to please her. He knew she hated the fact that he wasn't romantic. He had tried to learn though.
"Eh."
"I will miss you too. Jihai let's have a date before we go home, okay?" Her voice became livelier as she grew excited.
He smiled. "Okay."
"Jihai, I.....love you!" She smiled shyly at the other end.
At met silence instead. Jihai was stunned, his heart beating frantically. He still wasn't used to this side of her, that part that was warm and cuddly, caring and loving.
After a while, Chunlan got impatient. Why wasn't he responding? Hadn't he confessed his feelings already?
"Jihai, I love you. Do you love me?"
Coming to reality, he nodded. Remembering it was a phone call, he said "Yes."
Yes?
She confessed to him two times and all he said was yes? Calming herself she said cheerfully "Oh, okay. I'm hanging up."
"Bye."
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.
"Aw, so sweet.." Menxiang drawled."Okay, I have to go now. Bye, guys." Chunlan could hardly move her eyes from Jihai's own. Her heart felt alive in her chest."Bye." Jihai stared at the girl in the screen, his fingers failing to end the call. He could remain like this all day, gazing at her.Unable to bear it anymore, Mengqi stood up plastering a smile on her face as she walked to his side. "See you later, Chunlan." Her slender finger pressed the red button.Grabbing his sleeve, she whined softly. "Come, we are all drinking and you are the only one that is still sober.""Yet you didn't invite Chunlan." He removed his arm from her hands.She stammered. "I-I f-fforgot, okay? And besides we promised to get together at another time. Why don't you sit down and I will get your drink. Enjoy yourself, you are too uptight."Su Menxiang narrowed her eyes a
A small girl stood in the garden, plucking the sunflowers ruthlessly as she gazed at the gate impatiently. Where was he? He said he would be here! She stomped her feet in a tantrum."Lan'er, what is it? Why aren't you coming to play?" A small boy came behind her, dressed in a designer suit worth a small fortune not a thread out of place. He stared at the flowers on the ground solemnly, his little face set in stone."Nothing, Lin-ge, just go back. I am waiting for someone." She sighed, her little fingers playing with the edge of her dress as she looked at the ground, feeling sad.Honglin's face scrunched in confusion. "Who?"Chunlan was about to ignore him when she heard a sound at the gate, the stone landed on the ground with a thud. She became excited. "He's here."She ran to the gate and jumped up to unlock the gate. She smiled. "You are here."The cute little boy gazed at the gir
Tang Chunlan woke up with a gasp, her body covered with cold fear. If she hadn't transferred into another world or reincarnated, she wouldn't have thought this dream was real.But it was. As she placed her hand on the bed, she could feel that the sheets were damp. It would be a hassle to call a maid in the middle of the night so she took a bath, changed her clothes and the bedsheets. But unfortunately, she couldn't sleep and began to ponder on the situation.If what that woman said....what is her name?? Tamara, she remembered. If what Tamara said is true, then she must not make the same mistake again.Slowly but gradually, she formed a plan and fell asleep again."Miss! Miss! Please wake up!" An exasperated voice woke her. Opening her eyes, which was partly blinded by the rays of the sun coming through the room, she saw the outline of a femal
After the graduation ceremony that took place in the school, the elites decided to take the party back to the house. Waiters passed every guests, serving them while the parents and the two celebrants stood at the entrance welcoming the guests.Chunlan climbed on the stairs gracefully and turned to address them by hitting her glass with a spoon lightly.Having their attention, she cleared her throat lightly and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming to celebrate this auspicious occasion with us. The Tang family has always produced talents and scholars since ancient times. This has proved no different with the number of accolades my sisters have won during this graduation." She lifted her glass and smiled. "A toast to them, Tang Chunhua and Chunying!"The guests lifted their glass and murmured words of agreement and congratulations to the twins who stood bashfully.Chunhua stared at her e
Chunying followed her boyfriend, Zheng Wei shyly into the hotel room her heart beating loudly in her chest. Her nervous expression changed to astonishment."This-"Roses covered her feet from the door to the spacious bed with red curtains , the candles in the room giving it a romantic glow. The room designs were exquisite, fit for a queen. It was truly a grand gesture of love."Do you like it?" Zheng Wei gazed at the girl beside him.Chunying smiled shyly, her heart moved by the sight before her. All her life, she had always felt neglected and unwanted. When he had first approached her, she was scared and frightened. But with his constant love and patience, she knew what love truly meant. She now had no doubts."I like it."His eyes filled with pleasure. "Good."She lowered her head, smiling. Her long black hair and pale white skin gave her an innocent aura, a
