With a gentle expression, Wang Haixiao tucked those locks behind her ear. While doing it, he noticed the black little earplug. Chuckling, he removed the thing and whispered,

"Aren't you hungry?

"

Ji Yanli lifted her eyes as soon as she heard him. The corner of her lips tugged upwards as she took the bag of peanuts.

Without turning towards the other two men who were shamelessly staring at her, she opened her lips and down hard on the sweet thing.

Because there weren't many people in the library at that time, Ji Yanli was spared from being scolded for making such a loud noise.

"Where is the water?

" Ji Yanli asked while munching her snacks as she was reading a page. Wang Haixiao passed her a juice bottle.

By the side, the other two men felt they had become two light bulbs in this couple's lovey-dovey moment.

"Classmates, is there a matter?

" Ji Yanli asked as she bit down on a bar of dark chocolate. After taking a bite, she fed the rest to Wang Haixiao.

And it appeared very lewd to others.

"Nothing.

" Michael said awkwardly and left without looking back. He was not as shameless as Ben who could stare all day long at the couple.

Wang Haixiao and Ji Yanli totally ignored him. Because Ji Yanli didn't want to put on weight, after testing a few things, she fed all the things to Wang Haixiao.

The few people who noticed this felt they must be lovers. After Ji Yanli was done, she stayed there for a few minutes while Wang Haixiao checked the stocks on his mobile.

After arriving here, both of them had invested in quite a few things. Each day, it was the man's duty to check the market and withdraw their profits at the right time.

By just this, they had earned a few million. Back in the country, they also could have earned by this but they didn't bother to.

Abruptly, Ji Yanli stood up. Wang Haixiao flowed suit. She turned towards the man who was pretending to be reading and slowly said.

"Classmate, let's see each other again another day.

"

"Ben.

"

"Huh?

"

"My name.

"

"Oh! Good name.*

Afterwards, Ji Yanli left. Wang Haixiao gave Ben another last glance and left as well. Ben continued to sit there until a girl came and shyly asked,

"Senior Ben, can we talk?

"

The man hooked his lips into a devilish smile and answered without hesitation,

"Sure, sweety.

"

… …

When both of them sat in the car, Wang Haixiao immediately asked,

"What's with those men?

"

"Can't you see? They like me.

" Ji Yanli leaned against the seat and asked,

"How much have we earned today?

"

"Three hundred thousand.

"

"Good then. Accompany me in shopping.

"

Hearing this, Wang Haixiao sighed, 'That amount is as good as air now.'

His sigh wasn't in vain because, in that afternoon, Ji Yanli had spent three hundred thousand dollars on her shopping. Wang Haixiao felt so stifled that the man didn't eat his dinner that night…

… ...

Luo Lixi slowly opened her eyes. Her confused eyes glanced around the room. 'Umm… where am I?'

It was pitch black. When her hands felt around, she found herself sleeping on a big bed. While her body felt a source of heat from the side.

Luo Lixi had a bolt idea as she shivered. She abruptly sat up and felt around her body.

"Uh, everything seems to be okay…

" A relieved sigh escaped her dry lips. Right then, she heard the rustling sound from her left side.

Suddenly, a hand fell on her leg. Luo Lixi was stiffened and wanted to go away but it grabbed her ankle tightly.

When she had sat up abruptly, her mind felt a little dizzy. Now, in the dark, a human's hand tugging her ankle, made her heart pound furiously.

"Who? Who are you?! The person paused when she was asked this.

The hand retracted and Luo Lixi felt the person had sat up on the bed.

"It's me. Have you forgotten my voice already?!

"

"Kong Pipi?!

" Luo Lixi's voice was uncertain when she hesitantly asked this.

"Why this room doesn't have any lights? Just what is happening?!

"

Kong Pipi chuckled and turned aside to touch something beside her. In that instant, all the lights of the room got turned on.

Luo Lixi's eyes flinched because of the sudden bright light. When the black eyes got adapted to the light, she slowly opened them.

Luo Lixi was a little shocked when she noticed both of them were wearing the same kind of nightgown. While she was wearing a red silk nightgown, the other person was wearing a black one.

"I am here… I remember I was with my family members. Pipi, can you tell me where it is? Also how in the world I have…

"

Luo Lixi was flustered and started to talk without noticing the atmosphere beside her. She noticed the other person didn't say anything and was staring at her without blinking.

"I have seen you in the tabloids, in the magazine and also being mentioned in many newspapers. Have you ever thought of contacting me? Am I still your friend or not?! The mature woman was pretty dissatisfied when she came from a holiday trip from Hawaii and got to know that her friend who was missing had already come back without any harm.

She had even inherited the company of her family. Even though people were curious about what happened to her little brother, Kong Pipi was particularly very interested in this little lamb who was too innocent for her own good.

"I…

"

Kong Pipi snorted and said grudgingly,

"You also didn't invite me in your engagement. Did you know how sad I was when many people got invited yet as a close friend of yours I didn't get anything, not even a call nor any card of invitation?! You... you really made me disappointed. how could you…

"

Luo Lixi rubbed her ear and felt a little headache because of the other person's non-stop chatter. After Long Pipi was done, Luo Lixi immediately chirped in,

"Heh! When you were enjoying your holiday, I was dying. Yet, you dare to act pitiful?!

"

"Sigh! If a girl grows up, she surely doesn't heed others…

" Kong Pipi shook her head like an old woman who was trying to educate her grandchildren.

"Stop talking nonsense. Which place is this?

" As Luo Lixi asked this, she slipped down from the bed and asked her.

Kong Pipi yawned as she opened her lips,

"It's elder Leng's home.

"

"Ah! What?

" Luo Lixi removed the curtain from the window and noticed the outside of the building. Noticing the environment outside, she saw it was the case.

"What are you doing here then?

" Luo Lixi asked as she went to the bed.

Kong Pipi sighed and mumbled,

"You know… elder Leng brought me to 5alk to you.

"

"About what?

"

"You forgot his grandson?

"

"Ah! No?! Why though?

" Luo Lixi blinked her eyes. Kong Pipi sighed again.

"You seem to have promised elder Leng to see his grandson. He was very anxious to find you when he knew you were missing but elder Leng assured him that you are okay…

"

"Uhm… so?

"

Kong Pipi chuckled as she moved towards her and murmured,

"The boy is too heartbroken about your engagement. He couldn't accept it and emerged himself in drinking. Elder Leng said if you couldn't pacify him to let the lingering feelings for you go, you can forget about leaving…

"

"Ehh?

" Luo Lixi was speechless. She knew among the old men she knew, this elder Leng was the scariest and unreasonable. But, she didn't think that it would be this kind.

"That's why he kidnapped me?!

"

"And brought me to accompany you. After all, there is no other woman in this family nor any maids, only make servants. The elder is quite thoughtful… You know, I was in the salon and doing my facial when I was knocked out and brought here… hehe!

"

"...

"

Kong Pipi patted her head and said,

"Don't worry. I am sure he has told our family that we are here.

" Then her eyes pointed towards the clock on the wall and whined,

"It's 3:12 am now, let's sleep now.

"

The woman who looked very mature was very different from Luo Lixi. She didn't like to have too many worries.

"Come, Lixi. I need to catch up with my beauty sleep. Can't afford to talk more.

"

She made Luo Lixi lie down on the bed and she dropped on her back. In a second, the room became pitch black. Luo Lixi was hugged by the other person like a koala.

"Lixi.

"

"Hmm.

"

"I missed you.

"

Hearing this, Luo Lixi paused,

"I… missed you too, once.

"

"Heartless! Humph! I even didn't settle the score when you didn't invite me. If it was another person, I would have long become her enemy!

"

Luo Lixi could only chuckle hearing her.

"You are laughing? Are you making fun of me?!

"

"Oh no!, I am not!

"
