After pausing for just a few seconds, Mo Shiqian shut the door completely and then left.

As he walked past the living room, he took a glance at the bag that was randomly thrown onto the sofa. He walked over to pick up the phone and switched it to silent mode. Then he put the phone on the end table before he eventually left.

The apartment was quiet again.

Chi Huan rolled over to cuddle the soft quilt underneath her. She opened her eyes and then closed them. Doing so back and forth, she fell asleep deeply.

…

The next morning.

It was a cloudy day with lingering drizzle. The curtain in the bedroom was not closed, which made the room appear to be gloomy as well.

Chi Huan got up with her hand holding her head,she had a bit of a headache. She lowered her head to smell herself, remembering that she fell asleep before taking a shower, she immediately felt that there was a stinky smell, even if there actually wasn’t such a smell.

After she got up, she went to the bathroom to take a very cozy shower.

She picked out two pieces of clothing at will and put them on. She looked for her phone while drying her hair. She was thinking about whether to eat the breakfast out or just call for a delivery.

As soon as she was about to bend down to pick up the phone on the end table, the doorbell rang. She had no choice but to head to the door with her hand supporting the towel on her head.

Standing in front of the door was Mo Xigu, who was frowning in an anxious way. As soon as the door was opened, he looked up and saw the woman with her wet hair and the towel on her head. His Adam’s apple rolled up and down. He spoke in a hoarse voice, “Chi Huan.”

Last night he had the driver pick her up but the driver had then told him that she had already been picked up by her bodyguard.

In the end, the driver purposefully mentioned something “Boss Mo… Although he is a bodyguard, he seemed to be too intimate with Miss Chi… People who are unaware of their relationship might think that they are lovers.”

Lovers.

The word was like a fish bone stuck in his throat.

He called her but was not able to reach her. He made a couple of calls in a row but all of them failed to get in touch with her.

He felt so upset that he found it hard to control his temper. He then gave Mo Shiqian a call.

The man had replied to him without thinking about it, “She was drunk. Perhaps she fell asleep so she couldn’t answer the phone.”

Chi Huan stepped back to let him in. She sounded a bit hoarse as a result of the hangover, “Xigu, what brings you here so early in the morning?”

Mo Xigu stared at her face.

As if nothing had changed. As if everything had changed.

He was actually not sure what Chi Huan’s emotion was at that moment.

“About last night, I’m so sorry.”

“Last night?”

She had no memory of what happened last night. Or rather, she had no idea of what happened at all.

She only remembered that she met Mo Shiqian and his fiancé as well as Tang Yueze at the Nineteen-Ninety-Nine. Then she went to dinner with Ning Youran and then she got drunk… She vaguely remembered it was Mo Shiqian who sent her back home.

Mo Xigu was quite surprised and realized at once that last night Chi Huan had gotten drunk. The call was made by her friend and Mo Shiqian. She might not even know anything. So, he changed his words, “Have you had your breakfast?”

“Not yet. I just finished taking a shower.”

He lowered his voice and said, “What do you want to eat? I will buy you breakfast.”

Chi Huan used the towel to dry her hair. “Don’t bother so much. I can order a delivery.”

The man insisted, “You keep drying your hair and I’ll go buy you breakfast.”

“Okay. I was drunk last night so right now I really don’t have a good appetite. Please buy me some porridge.”

“Alright.”

Chi Huan stood at the door and watched him leave. She slowly closed the door with her lips clamped tightly together.

Last night?

She went back to the couch and picked up her phone. The screen lit up and she saw three or four missed calls, one of which was from this morning. She looked at the time on the phone as if thinking about something. Then with a move of her finger, she dialed Ning Youran’s phone number.

Ning Youran’s voice was a bit sleepy, “Hello…”

“Youran, what happened last night?”

“Nothing, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, just now Xigu came to visit me. He called me a few times last night and I didn’t receive any of his calls.”

“Oh, him.” Ning Youran curled her lips. Because she was half asleep and half awake, she did not think twice before talking and saying whatever came into her mind.

“Yesterday you were drunk, so I called him to pick you up. He said on the phone that he would come right away, but we ended up waiting for him for a long time, only to be waiting for his driver. But in the end it was your bodyguard that is the reliable one, he sent you back.”

Chi Huan pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

Ning Youran sobered up a bit, “Huan’er?”

“I’m okay. You can go back to sleep.”

“Okie dokie.”

Chi Huan hung up the phone. She didn’t move for a while, and it was nearly a minute before she put down her phone and stood up to continue drying her hair.

Mo Xigu bought some porridge and watched her eat it.

Chi Huan scooped the porridge with a spoon and ate it slowly. “Xigu, what did you come here for?”

The man looked at her fixedly and his low voice was somewhat hoarse. “Last time I promised to take you to pick a wedding ring… but I was held up by something unexpected.”

She curved her lips and smiled. “Are we going today?”

They were getting married the day after tomorrow, but their wedding ring wasn’t even ready yet.

Looking at her smiling face, Mo Xigu took out a brocade box and whispered, “I’ve already bought the ring. See if you like it or not. If you don’t like it, I’ll take you to pick another one.”

Chi Huan glanced at him and with a smile on her pink lips, she reached over and took the box.

The red brocade box was opened by her white and slender fingers.

Wow, what a big diamond ring!

It was at least nine carats. Chi Huan was raised in a rich family, and although she liked jewelry and other accessories, she was not really into them… But when she saw such a large diamond, she still could not help but be moved a bit in her heart.

He was stingy in spending time with her, but was not in the least stingy in spending money on her, especially such a big sum.

Mo Xigu watched her stare at the diamond ring in a preoccupied manner. His brows furrowed. “Don’t you like it?”

Chi Huan then raised her head and smiled at him. “There isn’t a woman that doesn’t like diamonds, thank you, I like it a lot.”

There seemed to be nothing wrong, but as Mo Xigu watched her smile, he only felt that the depression in his chest didn’t dissipate.

Maybe it was because… this smile of hers was far from the smiling curve she had on her mouth, that morning when she received the roses. At that time, her eyes lit up with surprise and she had smiled unconsciously.

Chi Huan still wore a smile on her face, with her sparkling dark eyes looking at him. “So are you going out on date with me today?”

Mo Xigu looked at her and was a little distracted for a brief moment, but then he regained his senses. He shook his head and said lightly, “The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow. I have to deal with some affairs at the company and for the wedding ceremony. I don’t have time at the moment.”

He paused, then he reached out and stroked her head. “When we get to Europe, I will have fun with you.”

The two of them continued talking for a while and then Mo Xigu got up and left.

Chi Huan walked him downstairs like usual and watched his car leave.

When she returned to the room, she looked at the roses on the tea table and walked over. She lightly touched the petals with her fingers… The flowers were already showing signs of wilting.

The lifespan of flowers was really short.

…

After taking a rest at home for half a day, it was almost evening when Chi Huan called Ning Youran for dinner and shopping.

“Wow, you’re about to be a bride. How come you’ve got so much time to be idle?”

“No, I am busy. I need to buy things. After the wedding we’re going on our honeymoon and then we’ll move into our new house when we get back. I’m just buying some clothes in advance.”
