Enlightened, exhilaration overwhelmed Shi Nian. He hugged Yun Nan and kissed her fiercely. “So that’s a yes? You agree to marry me? You’ll be my wife?”
Yun Nan smilingly pushed him away while avoiding his stifling kisses and panted, “Aren’t we already married, you silly man?”
Shi Nian abruptly stood up, carried his dear wife in his arms, and headed upstairs. “Let’s go and try out our new bed, sweetheart!” Shi Nian ignored Yun Nan’s struggles and protests and celebrated in his own way.
Late at night, Yun Nan was woken up by the phone ringing. Shi Nian had already switched on the bedside lamp and handed the phone to Yun Nan. “It’s Fang Xi.”
Yun Nan answered the call. “Fang Xi?” She glanced at the time—it was midnight, 12:30 a.m.
“Yun Nan, can you come over and keep me company?” Fang Xi asked, her voice nasal.
Yun Nan was instantly fully awake. “I’ll be right there.”
“I’m at No. 10, Ling Yun Borough,” Fang Xi told her.
“You—why are you at Ling Yun Borough? Don’t go anywhere; I’ll be right there!” Yun Nan stated, putting on her clothes and sprinting downstairs at top speed.
Shi Nian chased after her. “What happened?” he inquired. “I’ll drive you there!”

*Bang!* The door slammed shut, with Shi Nian inside. Shi Nian smiled wryly; Yun Nan was venting her anger towards Xi Cheng on him. ‘Ling Yun Borough,’ he thought. ‘ That’s where Xi Cheng and Fang Xi used to live. What is Xi Cheng trying to do? I really don’t get that guy.’
Shi Nian called Ye Kun while he changed his clothes. ‘Those two best get married quick Xi Cheng would give up after theVre married, right? Shi Nian sighed; he finally knew what it felt like to be dragged down by his ‘friend!’
Fang Xi had received an envelope in the afternoon. She found a key and an address inside. Fang Xi was bewildered but put the items aside as she was busy and didn’t pay them any attention.
That night, she received a call from Lin Yu—she wanted to ask her out for coffee. Thinking about Xi Cheng’s weird behavior and Lin Yu’s strange words the other day, Fang Xi was curious and agreed.
Lin Yu was no stunning beauty; she could only be considered above average in looks. Fortunately, her elegant air and bearing cultivated from a life of wealth made up for her lack in appearance. Lin Yu had spent the entire day primping and dressing up in her best attire for the meeting with Fang Xi. However, her built-up confidence completely collapsed the moment she saw Fang Xi, her self-esteem already bleeding rivers before they even exchanged words.
Fang Xi had her long hair casually done up in a bun with a simple wooden hair stick. She was wearing a beige-white Chinese-style blouse and a long green linen skirt. Even with crutches, her elegance shone through.
Fang Xi was unaware of the mental storm in Lin Yu’s mind the instant she saw her. She placed her crutches by the chair and apologized. “Sorry, I’m late. I have difficulty getting around on my legs.” She waved the waiter over. “A glass of passion fruit juice, please.”
Lin Yu secretly took several deep breaths, but her voice was still off when she spoke. “I heard you like to drink coffee, but now you’ve changed to juice instead? Are you truly planning to turn over a new leaf?” Fang Xi frowned. “Miss Lin, why did you ask me out if you hate me so much?”
Lin Yu froze before saying, “I… When did I say I hated you?”
Fang Xi looked at her. “You don’t? Then what’s this about turning over a new leaf? Was I a rotten person before?”
Lin Yu couldn’t say anything to that. Fang Xi smiled, picked up the passion fruit juice the waiter had brought, and continued, “Besides, you don’t believe that I’ve lost my memories; you’re trying to sound me out. What kind of story did you invite me out to tell me? Go on, I’m all ears!”
Lin Yu took a deep breath and stared at the carefree and unrestrained woman before her. The anger in her heart made her almost want to kill her immediately. Lin Yu could guarantee that Xi Cheng would irrevocably fall for Fang Xi again if the current Fang Xi appeared before Xi Cheng. Lin Yu knew only too well what kind of woman Xi Cheng liked. ‘ This Fang Xi is fatally attractive to a man like Xi Cheng!’ she inwardly seethed.
“I truly wish I was the one who lost my memory instead,” Lin Yu said slowly. Fang Xi drank her juice and smiled but didn’t respond.
Lin Yu sighed softly, “Xi Cheng and I grew up together. I’ve decided that Xi
Cheng is the one I am to rely on for the rest of my life ever since I was young. Every skill I’ve learned since I was a kid is in preparation to become the Xi family’s young mistress in the future. I’ve lived my entire life centered around Xi Cheng; I have nothing of myself.”
Lin Yu stopped there and sighed before forcing a smile. “It sounds sad, doesn’t
Fang Xi bit her straw and nodded. “Yeah, it does..”
