Translator: 549690339

A glitzy nightclub, late in the night.

In the dizzying lights of the hallway.

Yin Qin widens his eyes, looking at Luo Xiaolang in front of him.

His gaze drops to her face, incredibly close to his. He feels her lips against his—an unfamiliar sensation.

It lasts only a second.

Yin Qin jumps away as if jolted.

In that moment, he sobers up, seething with anger. “What the hell, Luo Xiaolang! What are you doing?”

“…” Luo Xiaolang is utterly confused.

Isn’t he the one who’s always causing trouble?!

She honestly doesn’t understand. Why is Yin Qin overreacting all of a sudden?

‘Why did you kiss me?!” Yin Qin looks genuinely angry!

Luo Xiaolang just keeps staring at him.

It’S just a kiss, right?

Is there really a need for such an overreaction?

She truly believes Yin Qin is different from normal people.

She pushes him away.

She thinks Yin Qin probably doesn’t need her to accompany him home anymore.

He seems spirited enough.

Might as well call a chauffeur.

She walks past Yin Qin, intending to head home.

Yin Qin watches Luo Xiaolang’s retreating figure. After a pause, he hurriedly chases after her. “You kissed me and then you run away! Where are you going, Luo Xiaolang!”

Luo Xiaolang feels her ears burn.

She really wants to punch Yin Qin.

She holds back, planning to hail a taxi home.

She doesn’t want to go out with Yin Qin anymore. He’s too annoying.

But at the entrance to the club, Yin Qin grabs her arm.

“Where are you going?” Yin Qin asks.

He’s noticed her walking towards the cabs at the entrance.

“Home.” Luo Xiaolang replies.

“You’re supposed to take me home, remember?!” Yin Qin huffs,

She doesn’t know why Yin Qin is so hot-tempered, flipping his mood from one second to the next.

But Luo Xiaolang isn’t someone who leaves things half-done. She doesn’t want to argue with Yin Qin, so she simply says, “I’ll take you home.”

Yin Qin nods.

In this moment, he seems somewhat less irate, somewhat obedient.

A valet pulls up with Yin Qin’s car.

Luo Xiaolang takes the driver’s seat, Yin Qin settles into the passenger’s.

Luo Xiaolang starts the navigation.

And then they drive off.

The car is unusually quiet.

Wherever Yin Qin is, it’s rarely this quiet.

Of course, Luo Xiaolang doesn’t feel uncomfortable with the silence. Anyway, she doesn’t often speak.

Suddenly, Yin Qin rolls down the window—perhaps he’s feeling stuffy.

Luo Xiaolang ignores him, even when the sweltering summer wind rushes into the car, making it uncomfortable.

After who knows how long. Yin Qin suddenly speaks, “Luo Xiaolang, are you 18 today?”

“Mm.” Luo Xiaolang answers.

“So young.”

Not young.

She feels old enough.

“You must learn to protect yourself.” Yin Qin mutters.

Luo Xiaolang frowns.

She knows how to protect herself—her punches really hurt.

Yin Qin seems unsure of what to say next.

He feels frustrated but can’t vent it out.

He leans against the car seat and lets out a heavy sigh.

Tonight was definitely an accident, and he doesn’t know why he suddenly lost his temper!

What’s the big deal about a kiss?!

It’s not like it was his first kiss, he even once forced Ji Baixing…

But damn it!

Luo Xiaolang is only 18!

How could he be such a beast!

He curses under his breath.

Luo Xiaolang has no idea what Yin Qin is going on about.

He suddenly starts beating his own head with his hand, looking as if he wants to die.

Luo Xiaolang thought that she shouldn’t pay heed to Yin Qin’s kind gestures as he was an exceptional man.

Yin Qin vented for a while.

Suddenly, he lowered his seat.

The entire man fell asleep in the passenger seat and became silent.

Luo Xiaolong sighed softly.

She thought Yin Qin would never feel lonely as he could entertain himself all day long.

The car finally arrived at Yin Qin’s mansion.

Luo Xiaolang parked the car, turned her head, and found Yin Qin had fallen asleep.

At this moment, he was even snoring.

He went from the verge of collapse to sleeping like a pig in an instant.

She was about to wake Yin Qin.

At that moment, she saw the mobile phone on his chest.

She stayed silent for a moment.

Then, she took his phone.

When she left home, she brought along a miniature tracker , thinking that it would be easy to place it on Yin Qin when he was drunk.

Just as she thought.

She took away his phone, and he didn’t seem to notice it.

She hid the miniature tracker inside his phone case, then returned the phone back to Yin Qin.

Yin Qin was still asleep.

Luo Xiaolang woke him up, “We are here.”

Yin Qin stirred half-consciously, but did not wake up.

“Yin Qin!” Luo Xiaolang shook him.

Yin Qin jumped up as if startled, “Is it an earthquake?” A look of panic filled his face.

Luo Xiaolang said, “We are home.”

It took Yin Qin two seconds to make sense of her words.

He said, “If we are home, then so be it. Why are you shaking me? I thought something serious happened! ”

“…” Isn’t it you who was in deep sleep?

Luo Xiaolang did not want to argue with Yin Qin.

She opened the car door and was about to get off.

Yin Qin suddenly grabbed her.

Luo Xiaolang wrinkled her eyebrows.

“Take the car. I’ll come to drive it myself tomorrow.”

Luo Xiaolang decided to stay in the car, waiting for Yin Qin to get off.

As Yin Qin opened the car door and was about to get off, he suddenly paused as if he had thought of something.

Luo Xiaolang frowned.

At this moment, she really wanted to push Yin Qin out of the car.

She felt that her head was about to explode after the whole night.

She couldn’t stand Yin Qin’s incessant talking.

Yin Qin turned his head and looked at Luo Xiaolang, staring at her lips.

Luo Xiaolang frowned.

She didn’t know what crazy idea Yin Qin was going to pull this time.

Just then, he suddenly pulled out a tissue from the car, “Wipe it.”

Luo Xiaolang was completely baffled.

“Hey!” Yin Qin seemed a little impatient, roughly wiping Luo Xiaolang’s lips with the tissue.

Luo Xiaolang hasn’t eaten or drunk anything in the evening.

What could be on her mouth?

After Yin Qin roughly wiped her lips, he suddenly left with anger.

Luo Xiaolang stared at Yin Qin’s angry figure.

She sighed at that moment.

She would leave the tracker for a month and collect it after that.

The bustling nightclub was busy as ever.

Ji Baili had drunken himself to a stupor.

He was sitting on the toilet in the restroom, swaying wearily.

Outside, his friends were still drinking.

He couldn’t bear it anymore.

He picked up his phone, dizzily entered a phone number, and dialled.

His stomach was churning, but his heart was racing.

He heard the familiar, pleasant, gentle voice of a woman on the other end, softly calling him, “Baili.”

It felt as if his heart was melting.

Ji Baili felt a warm sensation in his heart.

He said, “Zaozao, I miss you.”

The moment Xin Zaozao heard this through the phone, her face turned bright red.

Ji Baili’s words were charming and provocative.

This moment of frankness still made her feel somewhat shy.

She said, “We are getting engaged tomorrow.”

“I won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Ji Baili confessed.

“Probably the same for me,” said Xin Zaozao as she stood up from her office chair and walked towards the floor -length window.

Tomorrow they were getting engaged, and they planned to take a trip alone after the engagement. So, she wanted to finish up all her work, which would allow her to fully enjoy the holidays with Baili without having to worry about work.

“Zaozao, I will pick you up tomorrow, I promise to be on time,” Ji Baili suddenly guaranteed.

Xin Zaozao laughed.

Listening to Ji Bai Li’s voice, he sounded like he had drunk too much.

His words were somewhat unclear.

She asked, “Baili, have you been drinking?”

“Ah… a little bit, only a little bit. I will still be able to consummate our marriage tomorrow.” He earnestly promised from the other end.

Xin Zaozao laughed.

When she laughed, her blushing face looked particularly attractive, “Don’t drink too much, go back early, getting drunk is bad for your health.”

“Yes, I will definitely go back early. Going back early… to yearn for you,” Ji Baili murmured. That moment Xin Zaozao knew Baili was drunk talking but was still infected by him.

She said, “Why don’t I take you home?” “No need! I can walk by myself, I’m not drunk.”

“Where are you?”

“I can get home by myself,” Ji Baili was determined.

“All right,” Xin Zaozao did not insist.

“Zaozao, sleep early, have a good sleep, waiting for me to pick you up tomorrow,” Ji Baiji repeated.

“Hmm.” “Zaozao, bye.”

“Bye.”

Xin Zaozao hung up the phone, the smile on her lips lingered.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, there must be a significant change in her world.

And she was indeed looking forward to it.

She returned to her office chair and looked at the well-organized work projects that she packaged and sent to Yan Quan. She glanced at the time; it was already past 11 at night. She turned off her computer and got up from her desk to go home.

Baili had told her to go to sleep early.

She left the office with Nie Feng.

Her gaze faltered briefly on the office across from her, whose lights were still on.

This afternoon, Mu Cidian suddenly visited the company.

The traces on his face had improved a lot, and he didn’t look so grim.

She stopped at the door of Mu Cidian’s office.

Mu Cidian was sitting at his desk, holding a golden pen in his hand, writing something.

The moment he felt someone at the door, he looked up.

He looked up and saw Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao still held strong hostility towards him coming to the company.

Perhaps he was trying to figure out what the hell he was up to.

He casually asked, “Why are you still at work so late? Isn’t the engagement ceremony tomorrow? Get some sleep, your skin would be better if you slept early.”

Xin Zaozao snorted coldly, “You must really want me to leave early and take advantage of it in the Xin Family.”

A faint smile flashed across Mu Cidian’s face.

It was a light smile, seemingly filled with helplessness.

But, at that moment, he didn’t get angry.

Usually, their discussions would have heated up by now.

He did not say another word.

He actually felt that every word he said was wasting Xin Zaozao’s time.

Because she wouldn’t believe him.

Xin Zaozao left indifferently.

Mu Cidian raised his head to look at her back, then lowered his head to look at his desk, where he was writing his “resignation letter,” word by word.

He hadn’t held a pen in a long time, excluding when he had to sign something.

This “resignation letter” had been drafted several times.

He lowered his head and continued to write, very carefully.

The next day.

Xin Zaozao woke up really early.

Around five o’clock, many people came to her house to help her dress up and do her makeup.

Although it wasn’t a wedding, the engagement ceremony still had its processes, which she cooperated with.

Around 8 in the morning.

Xin Zaozao finished dressing up.

She looked at herself in the mirror.

A white mini wedding dress, not as sophisticated as a wedding gown, but nevertheless, it was a dreamy dress that every woman wished to wear. A faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

She didn’t even think about the day when she would wear such a wedding gown and become the main character of a wedding.

It feels as if everything she has experienced from her childhood to now is like a dream.

She quietly awaits Baili’s arrival.

There isn’t much ceremony involved in an engagement, no family and friends blocking the door, and no lengthy wedding rituals required.

At 10 AM.

Zaozao saw Ji Baili, dressed in a formal white suit, appear in her bedroom.

They look at each other.

His heart was thumping really fast, Ji Baili felt. Zaozao felt her heartbeat speeding up too.

“Zaozao, I am here.” said Ji Baili.

A voice that sounded so pleasing to the ear.

Zaozao nodded, saying, “Baili, I’ve been waiting for you.”

Always waiting for you.

Waiting for you to take me away.

Ji Baili bent down and lifted Zaozao up in his arms.

Zaozao clung to Ji Baili’s neck.

And with that, Ji Baili left with Zaozao in his arms.

He hesitated for a moment.

Mu Cidian stood at the top of the stairs, watching Ji Baili carry Zaozao away; with Zaozao smiling so sweetly, leaving.

“Congratulations,” Mu Cidian said.

He said to the two of them.

Ji Baili frowned, looking at the man in the suit, who had obviously made a considerable effort to get dressed up, making it an impressive sight.

Such a formal congratulations all of a sudden felt somewhat unfamiliar.

Yet he could sense the cold indifference of the person in his arms towards the man standing before them.

He was a man who took his wife as his world.

If his wife disliked someone, then he too, disliked them.

So, in that moment, he likewise felt nothing but icy indifference as he walked past Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian slightly pursed his lips.

He seemed quite calm, calmly watching them leave, watching them leave right under his gaze.

“Struggling to let go?” Wan Quan suddenly appeared next to him, sneering.

Turning to glance at him, Mu Cidian replied, “No.”

Wan Quan no longer believed her son.

She said, “Since today is Zaozao’s day, since my step-daughter is having her engagement banquet, as her elder, of course, I need to attend. Let’s go, Mu Cidian, let’s see your beloved become someone else’s.

Mu Cidian did not wish to hear his mother utter a word.

But even so, he accompanied his mother to the engagement banquet.

The banquet hall was incredibly opulent, even though there weren’t many guests.

Ji Yunlei and Zhang Qingmei warmly welcomed all their guests. Seeing Wan Quan and Mu Cidian arrive, despite knowing their bride-to-be and his wife did not see eye to eye, they remained very enthusiastic, “Our in-law has arrived.”

Wan Quan quickly replied with a smile, “Yes, indeed. I had to arrive early for my daughter’s engagement party. Zaozao and Baili, they are truly a match made in heaven. Who would’ve thought they’d hit it off without having any past interaction.”

“Indeed. The children, it’s all about fate. Here, please come in, In-law.” Wan Quan and Ji Yunlei, along with Zhang Qingmei, exchanged social niceties

Wan Quan, with Cidian, then entered the engagement banquet hall.

The engagement banquet was in a T-shaped ballroom.

Seats for the guests were set to the side.

The engagement ceremony was held here, with a lunch banquet in the next room.

When Wan Quan reached the viewing seats, she was invited by the staff to the most important seat in the front row.

At that time, there weren’t many people around.

Wan Quan and Mu Cidian sat there, neither speaking.

Mu Cidian was looking at the message on his phone.

“Dear Passenger, your flight has arrived at Jin City International Airport, and will take off in the next 5 hours. Please plan your time accordingly …” Mu Cidian put down his phone.

His eyes merely glance towards the center stage, at the picture of Zaozao and Ji Baili together.

Both of them in the photo frame, laughing so sweetly together.

He quietly watched.

Gradually, more and more people arrived at the banquet hall.

Song Zhizhi pushed Ji Baijian into the banquet hall, casually leaving him to one side, saying, “I’m going to see Zaozao.”

And then, she abandoned him.

Ji Baijian, looking at Song Zhizhi’s departing figure, had a rather dark look on his face.

Right at this moment, Yin Qin arrived and seeing Ji Baijian being dumped, he felt inexplicably delighted. He walked over, “So you too, have a day when you’re abandoned!”

Ji Baijian shot a glance at Yin Qin.

Yin Qin casually pushed Ji Baijian’s wheelchair to a spot with guest seats and instructed the staff to remove a chair. He then sat in the row next to Ji Baijian, “Speaking of Ji Baili, I always thought he was quiet and not much of a womanizer. How did he end up getting engaged all of a sudden.”

He continued, while shaking his head.

It seemed that even after such a long time, he still couldn’t accept the fact that Ji Baili was getting married and he remained single!

Ji Baijian remained silent.

Continuing his monologue, Yin Qin said, “Speaking of which, Ji Baili and Zaozao really make a good pair!”

Mu Cidian was sitting in front of them.

The conversation between Yin Qin and Ji Baijian was perfectly audible to him.

Actually, he too felt that they made a perfect pair..
