Tang Chunlan felt stifled with the current atmosphere sitting down with such people. The sounds of knife grinding on the ceramic plates made her head spin and the aromatic smell of food was not helping her problem. She could feel the undisguised tension in the air, all three men pretending that they were having a civil dinner when it was clear that this was a feast filled with predators. She put down her napkin and stood up. "Please excuse me, Papa. I don't feel so well so I will be retiring for the night."Tang Huizhong nodded, grateful for his daughter's sensitivity and thoughtfulness. "Okay, dear. Goodnight."Jihai also stood up, stretching his hand out to help her. "Let me help you to your room. Please excuse us, Father-in-law."Tang Chunlan turned to the old man sitting by her left side. "Goodnight, Grandpa Wen. Please excuse me."Wen Qiqiang smiled after drinking his glass of water. "Goodnight, dear. Take care of yourself and send my regards to your junior sisters."Chunlan said
"Was it really necessary to get rid of my bodyguards like that?" Wen Qiqiang turned to look at the man who had the audacity to beat up his grandson and dump him in front of his house.Jihai brought out a cigarette and lit it, watching the smoke diffuse in the air. "Grandpa, you are exaggerating things. I merely put them together in a car to follow us. Since one of your cars is down, they needed to share a car with my bodyguards. Its not that bad, is it?"Wen Qiqiang started coughing. "No, it isn't." Seeing that the young man didn't mind his discomfort, he complained. "You should stop smoking. It's bad for your lungs.""My lungs are not complaining." Jihai replied."But I have breathing problems." Wen Qiqiang looked at him."I know."The old man chuckled, his eyes darkening with each passing minute. "It seemed like staying in the UK for three years didn't help refine your poor manners, young man.""No, it didn't. But it helped refine my ambition and resolve to see you and your whole fa
Jihai who was the subject of a private conversation arrived home shortly after his visit to the Tang mansion. Before he stepped into the house, he tossed a key and a piece of paper to Ryōsei saying. "I need you to go to this address written on this piece of paper tonight to rescue my uncle. Make sure there are no mistakes."Ryōsei's eyebrows arched in confusion. "Isn't he with Miss Chunlan? Why do we need to rescue him?""Her father found out where she was hiding him and tried to use him as a bait." Jihai loosened his tie as he closed his eyes tiredly. "Where is Hisako?""She is still on the mission you gave her. Do you want me to call her back?" Ryōsei asked."No need. I don't want her to get worried about this. You can go now, thank you." Jihai dismissed him and entered inside his new house.He walked straight to his bedroom intending to take a shower and sleep after an exhausting day but what he saw made him drop his briefcase in shock.A woman dressed in a white robe was lying on
A woman sat in front of a mirror combing her hair. It was once long and shiny but now it was dull and brittle. Her skin was ashen white. She gazed at the television behind her through the mirror and laughed bitterly.When she first arrived in this world, she thought she could do it. Have her happy ever after. She was once the richest CEO in the country but now she was in this shabby old room living in poverty.Bai Jihai....Bai Jihai took everything away from her! If she could reincarnate, she will never let him off! Not after what he had done! He betrayed her and married the bane of her existence, Shen Mengqi!"Chunlan, you have to eat something, this can't go on. It has been five days now. Please eat." Her best friend, Su Menxiang's voice was hoarse."Its okay, I am not hungry." She touched her sunken cheekbones, trailing her fingers across her face gently."Please, eat. After the abortion, you hav
A young girl stretched her long and lean body on the bed as the sun rays touched her pale skin. Her eyes flickered as she rubbed her forehead which was throbbing in pain. Her eyebrows furrowed as she finally opened her eyes.Tang Chunlan was reborn again.She sat upright and scanned her surroundings. Which era did she enter this time again? Was she cursed? Why was she bound to transmigration every time she died?But this room looked so familiar.....Her heart froze when a male figure came inside the room. He was devastatingly handsome, his chiselled face was all high bones and sharp angles highlighting his masculinity. His dark and deep eyes stared at her for a while."B-Bai Jihai..." She looked at him in disbelief.Bali Jihai sighed helplessly as he picked up a chair to sit in front of her. His domineering, cold aura was all over the room silently oppressing her."Did y
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.
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
