She went into bed, covered her body with a comforter and curled into a ball. It was so cold tonight... or maybe it was her heart which was cold out of fear.
Why was everyone around her acting strange?
Why would Master Ji claim that they had t before? Although his presence felt familiar, she had obviously only seen him on the business magazines she had taken a liking to reading lately. Even if they had actually t before, she didn’t rember.
The most important point was, so he was the person who she had heard call her na at the the park today...
...
Ji Xiehan couldn’t sleep no matter how long he lay on his bed.
He had t his little beauty today. However, he wasn’t as happy as he should be.
That terrible unreliable assistant... wait it was forr assistant because he had fired him today.
He had simply told that guy to bring Lanni to him. He could have politely explained the situation and brought her to him peacefully. Why the hell did he kidnap her?
What was he doing, destroying his image in Lanni’s mind? She would think he was an arrogant man who did everything to get their way even if it ans hurting people in the process.
The girl’s words were still fresh in his mind. "Ji Xiehan? We have nothing in common. Why would you kidnap ?"
He tried to make her feel more relaxed by coaxing her. "Lanni, I’m sorry for how rude my assistant was in his way of bringing you here, but I don’t an any harm. I didn’t think we would ever et again." He was so happy that his words almost made no sense.
However, the girl’s next question threw him off his senses. "Again? Have we t before? Do you have a misunderstanding about sothing?"
Ji Xiehan wished he could ram a brick against his head. Perhaps his brain wasn’t working properly. "What are you saying? You don’t think we have t before? Then how do you know my na?"
"You are Ji Xiehan. Of course I would know you." she answered matter-of-factly, as though he had asked an elentary level question.
Ji Xiehan thought that perhaps their eting wasn’t as significant to her as it was to him. She was after all such a beautiful girl. It would not be surprising if many n fawned over her every other day.
He could only explain. "We t outside the Erald Grand Hotel; just when you were about to leave. I have been looking for you for all this while and only saw you again today."
Even he himself was amazed at how long ago he made it sound. But to his heart, it did feel like ages ago.
Perhaps it was long enough for a girl to forget. "I have never t you before. I have seen n use this trick to hit in girls before and I have to say it’s too worn out. Can you at least try to be a little creative?" She sneered.
Ji Xiehan couldn’t conceal his shock. "You’re kidding, right?"
"Do I look like I’m in the mood to joke around?"
"..."
Fine. You look like you are in the mood to fight.
He took a step closer and observed her keenly, as though she was part of an experint. "Are you Lanni?"
The girl rolled her eyes. "You stalked and kidnapped , yet you don’t know my na?"
Ji Xiehan sighed. He was sure she was really Lanni. Why had she forgotten all about him? Was she so drunk that night that she couldn’t rember a thing? She did look a little drunk...
While scrutinizing her, he didn’t know just how scared the girl before him was. She only kept a fearless act up so he wouldn’t know that she was frightened.
...
Ji Xiehan tossed.
He needed to investigate this Lanni girl. He was getting more interested in her by the minute.
...
The next day, soone reported what had happened.
"Miss Ji, yesterday master Ji t that girl."
Ji Feifei dropped the phone she was playing with to the floor. "What did you say?"
"He saw her at the amusent park earlier yesterday. Although I tried to distract him, he saw through and ordered to find miss Li Lanni and bring her to him."
Ji Feifei’s expression couldn’t get any darker. "What did they talk about?"
The assitant trembled. "How... how would I know? I wouldn’t listen in on Master Ji’s conversations. However, Master Ji left her on her own to handle company matters and when he returned, Miss Li Lanni kicked up a fuss about wanting to hurry back ho, or her mother would be worried. They didn’t talk much and Miss Li Lanni seed to have forgotten about their first eting.."
Ji Feifei didn’t care about this. "Keep an eye on my brother."
"Miss Ji... I’ve been fired." the assistant said nervously. In the end, he couldn’t keep his job because he had hidden such important information from his boss.
Although Ji Xiehan was a friendly man, no one could tolerate being decieved like that.
Even worse, he had not politely approached Li Lanni and explained to her that Ji Xiehan wanted to have a word with her. He had simply kidnapped the girl.
Of course, this was deliberate from the beginning. He was on Ji Feifei’s side. How could he let Li Lanni have a good impression of Master Ji?
He narrated everything to Ji Feifei like a news reporter.
"Forget about him. From this mont, you are my bodyguard." Ji Feifei declared between her red lips.
